     For Mr. Jackson, 100% of his target bonus is based upon the Company’s revenue milestones described below. For each executive officer other than Mr. Jackson, 75% of the target bonus is based upon the Company’s revenues, with the remaining 25% of the annual bonus target determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, in consideration of the individual’s job performance.

     The formula-based target annual bonus set forth in the table above (the “Formula-Based Target Bonus”) will be paid semi-annually based upon revenue milestones as follows (with intermediate percentages of achievement interpolated linearly):
    In the event that the Company achieves revenues of at least 90% of the revenues contemplated by the Company’s operating plan, each officer will receive a cash bonus equal to 25% of the Formula-Based Target Bonus;
 
    In the event that the Company achieves revenues of at least 100% of the revenues contemplated by the Company’s operating plan, each officer will receive a cash bonus equal to 100% of the Formula-Based Target Bonus; and

Equity Compensation
     On February 26, 2008, the Board of Directors of the Company also approved a target dollar value of annual equity grant for each executive officer, as set forth in the table below. Of the annual target dollar value, for each executive officer, 30% is to be awarded in the form of a non-qualified stock option, 23.33% is to be awarded in the form of restricted stock with time-based vesting and 46.67% is to be awarded in the form of restricted stock with performance-based vesting.
    Non-qualified stock options. For each executive officer, the officer has been granted a non-qualified stock option for a number of shares equal to 30% of the total target equity grant dollar value, based on the Black-Scholes value of the option on the date of grant. Each stock option awarded has a term of 10 years from the date of grant. The exercise price of each option awarded was $6.47 per share, which is equal to the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 26, 2008, the date of grant. Each stock option vests over a period of four years, with 25% of the shares underlying the option vesting on the first anniversary of the date of grant and the remainder vesting in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter.
 
    Time-based restricted stock awards. For each executive officer, the officer has been awarded a number of shares of restricted stock equal to 23.33% of the total target equity grant dollar value divided by $6.47 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 26, 2008. Each grant has been approved by the Board subject to the officer’s execution of a restricted stock award agreement and the payment of a purchase price equal to $0.001 per share. The shares underlying each restricted stock award will vest in three equal annual installments beginning on February 26, 2009, subject to the officer’s continuous service with the Company as of the vesting date.
 
    Performance-based restricted stock awards. For each executive officer, the officer has been awarded a number of shares of restricted stock equal to 46.67% of the total target equity grant dollar value divided by $6.47 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 26, 2008. Each grant has been approved by the Board subject to the officer’s execution of a restricted stock award agreement and the payment of a purchase price equal to $0.001 per share. The shares underlying each restricted stock award are eligible for vesting in four equal annual installments beginning on February 26, 2009. Subject to the officer’s continuous service with the Company as of such date, the number of shares eligible for vesting on each vesting date will vest upon the Company’s meeting or exceeding 98% of the annual financial objectives set by the Compensation Committee for such year. In the event the financial objectives for a particular year are not achieved, the shares that otherwise would have vested at the end of such year shall vest on February 26, 2013, the fifth anniversary of the vesting commencement date, subject to the officer’s continuous service with the Company as of such date.
