The Emtec, Inc. 2011 Annual Incentive Plan (the “AIP”) was adopted by the Board of Directors on December 16, 2010. The Board of Directors recommends that the stockholders approve the AIP at the Company’s annual meeting of stockholders. The AIP is being submitted to the stockholders for approval to meet the requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code. The AIP provides for payments in cash or restricted stock under the Company’s 2006 Stock Based Incentive Compensation Plan to selected employees, including the Company’s named executive officers, based on the achievement of pre-established performance goals over a performance period determined by the Compensation Committee. As the Company’s executive officers may participate in and receive payments under the AIP, our executive officers have an interest in this proposal.
The following general description of certain features of the AIP is qualified in its entirety by reference to the AIP, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit B to this Proxy Statement. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this summary have the meanings given to them in the AIP. If approved by the Company’s stockholders, the AIP will permit incentive compensation bonus awards to be structured to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code (“Qualified Bonuses”).
Stockholder approval of the AIP is necessary to ensure that certain compensation paid under the AIP can be eligible for an exemption from the limits on tax deductibility imposed by Section 162(m) of the Code. Section 162(m) of the Code limits the deductibility of certain compensation paid to individuals, referred to herein as “Section 162(m) Officers,” who are, at the end of the tax year in which the Company would otherwise claim its tax deduction, the Company’s chief executive officer and its other two highest-paid executive officers. Compensation that qualifies as performance-based for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Code is not subject to the annual limit on the deductibility of compensation in excess of $1 million with respect to Section 162(m) Officers. One of the requirements for compensation to constitute performance-based compensation is that the material terms under which compensation is to be paid to Section 162(m) Officers, including any performance goals, be disclosed to and voted on by the Company’s stockholders in a separate stockholder vote before the payment of the compensation.
The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders to enhance the ability of the Company to attract and retain qualified personnel by providing certain bonus awards to employees generally, as well as to Section 162(m) Officers that would qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m), while at the same time obtaining the highest level of deductibility of compensation paid to employees.
The general purpose of the AIP is to provide additional compensation for selected employees based on the achievement of pre-determined performance goals. The Company believes that the combination of base salary and bonuses under the AIP will provide a competitive compensation opportunity to the Company’s employees.
The AIP will be administered by the Compensation Committee, which qualifies as a committee of the Board of Directors comprised exclusively of two or more members of the Board of Directors who are non-employee “outside directors” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. Subject to the other provisions of the AIP, the Compensation Committee has the authority to:
|
·
|
select employees to participate in the AIP;
|
|
·
|
establish and administer the performance goals and the bonus opportunities applicable to each participant and certify whether the performance goals have been attained;
|
|
·
|
determine whether bonuses will be paid in cash, shares of restricted stock, or in any combination of the foregoing;
|
|
·
|
construe and interpret the AIP and any agreement or instrument entered into under or in connection with the AIP;
|
|
·
|
establish, amend, and waive rules and regulations for the AIP administration; and
|
|
·
|
make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the AIP.
|
In addition, with respect to each performance period under the AIP, the Compensation Committee will establish (i) the performance goals applicable to each such participant (including, as the Compensation Committee deems advisable, threshold, target and maximum levels of performance); (ii) each participant’s target and, if applicable, threshold and maximum bonus opportunities for the performance period; and (iii) whether bonuses with respect to a participant are intended to Qualified Bonuses.
The Board of Directors may, at any time, amend or terminate the AIP in whole or in part; provided, however, that no amendment with respect to, or affecting, bonuses intended to satisfy the performance-based requirements of Section 162(m) of the Code that would require the consent of stockholders pursuant to Section 162(m) of the Code will be effective without such consent.
All officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries are eligible to be selected by the Compensation Committee to participate in the AIP. The Compensation Committee expects that each of the Company’s named executive officers and certain other members of the Company’s senior management team will participate in the AIP.
Bonuses
Under the terms of the AIP, the Committee has the authority to grant bonuses that are intended to be Qualified Bonuses and to grant bonuses that are not intended to be Qualified Bonuses. Unless the stockholders of the Company approve the AIP, the Company will not grant bonuses that are intended to be Qualified Bonuses. Qualified Bonuses are subject to special requirements, such as:
|
·
|
Qualified Bonuses must be based solely on the attainment of one or more objective performance goals (as described below) and may not be based on subjective criteria;
|
|
·
|
The maximum aggregate Qualified Bonuses that may be payable to any participant under the Plan in any fiscal year of the Company may not exceed $2,000,000;
|
|
·
|
The Compensation Committee may not retain any discretion to increase the amount of Qualified Bonuses that would otherwise be due upon attainment of the relevant performance goals; provided that the Compensation Committee may exercise negative discretion to reduce any amount that would otherwise be payable to a participant upon the attainment of performance goals; and
|
|
·
|
Payment of any Qualified Bonus is contingent upon the Compensation Committee’s certifying in writing that the performance goals and any other material terms applicable to such Qualified Bonus was in fact satisfied.
|
Performance Goals
Performance goals for a performance period with respect to bonuses that are intended to be Qualified Bonuses may include any one or more of the following criteria, which may be measured on an absolute or relative basis (e.g., against an external index such as a group of peer companies, industry groups or a financial market index):
|
·
|
the price or fair market value of the Company’s stock;
|
|
·
|
the market share of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (or any business unit thereof);
|
|
·
|
sales by the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (or any business unit thereof);
|
|
·
|
diluted net income per share;
|
|
·
|
return on stockholder equity of the Company;
|
|
·
|
costs of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (or any business unit thereof);
|
|
·
|
cash flow of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (or any business unit thereof);
|
|
·
|
return on total assets of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (or any business unit thereof);
|
|
·
|
return on invested capital of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (or any business unit thereof);
|
|
·
|
return on net assets of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (or any business unit thereof);
|
|
·
|
operating income of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (or any business unit thereof);
|
|
·
|
net income of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (or any business unit thereof);
|
|
·
|
earnings (or net income) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization; or
|
|
·
|
any other objective financial or other objective measurement deemed appropriate by the Compensation Committee, as it relates to the results of operations or other measurable progress of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates (or any business unit thereof).
|
Earned bonuses under the AIP will be paid no later than December 31st of the fiscal year following the fiscal year in which the bonus is earned. Unless otherwise determined by the Compensation Committee, 70% of a participant’s earned bonus will be payable in cash and 30% of a participant’s earned bonus will be payable in shares of restricted Common Stock that will be granted under the Company’s 2006 Stock-Based Incentive Compensation Plan. In addition, with the consent of the Compensation Committee, a participant may elect to receive more than 30% of his or her earned bonus in the form of shares of restricted Common Stock, provided that such election is made by the December 31st preceding the first day of the fiscal year to which such bonus relates. If a participant who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, receives restricted shares of Common Stock as part of his or her bonus, that participant may direct the Company to retain a number of such shares that the participant would otherwise receive to satisfy his or her tax withholding obligation.
The AIP was adopted by the Board of Directors on December 16, 2010 and is currently effective. However, the AIP and the granting of any bonuses intended to be Qualified Bonuses are conditioned upon stockholder approval of the AIP.
Because (i) bonus awards will be made from time to time by the Compensation Committee to those persons whom the Compensation Committee determines in its discretion should receive bonuses and (ii) any amounts payable to participants under the AIP are contingent upon the future achievement of performance goals, the potential payments that any participant may receive under the AIP are not determinable.
The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the Common Stock represented at the Annual Meeting is required for approval of this proposal.
YOUR BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS A VOTE “FOR” APPROVAL OF THE EMTEC, INC. 2011 ANNUAL INCENTIVE PLAN.
RATIFICATION OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Subject to stockholder ratification, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has appointed the firm of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP (“McGladrey”), as the independent registered public accounting firm, to audit and report on our consolidated financial statements for our fiscal year ending August 31, 2011. Although the submission to stockholders of the appointment of McGladrey is not required by law or the Company’s Amended and Restated Bylaws, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe it is appropriate to submit this matter to stockholders to allow a forum for stockholders to express their views with regard to the Audit Committee’s selection. In the event the stockholders fail to ratify the appointment, the Audit Committee may reconsider its selection. Even if the selection is ratified, the Audit Committee, in its discretion, may direct the appointment of a different independent accounting firm at any time during the year if the Audit Committee determines that such a change would be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders.
One or more representatives of McGladrey are expected to attend the Annual Meeting. They will have the opportunity to speak at the meeting if they desire to do so and will also be available to respond to appropriate questions.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Auditor.
All the services described above were pre-approved by our Audit Committee. In accordance with the charter of our Audit Committee and consistent with the policies of the Securities and Exchange Commission, all auditing services and all non-audit services to be provided by any independent auditor of the Company shall be pre-approved by the Audit Committee. In assessing requests for services by the independent auditor, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the auditor’s independence, whether the independent auditor is likely to provide the most effective and efficient service based upon their familiarity with the Company, and whether the service could enhance the Company’s ability to manage or control risk or improve audit quality.
In making its recommendation to ratify the appointment of McGladrey as our auditor for the current fiscal year, the Audit Committee has considered whether the non-audit services provided by McGladrey are compatible with maintaining the independence of McGladrey.
Your Board of Directors unanimously recommends a vote FOR the ratification of the selection of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as the auditors of the Company.
REPORT OF THE AUDIT COMMITTEE
The information contained in this report shall not be deemed to be “soliciting material” or “filed” or “incorporated by reference” in future filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or subject to the liabilities of Section 18 of the Exchange Act, except to the extent that we specifically incorporate it by reference into a document filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Exchange Act.
The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board of Directors, and is composed of two independent Directors who are not officers or employees of the Company. The Audit Committee operates under a written charter that was adopted in July 2006 by the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee held twelve official meetings during the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010. The Audit Committee Charter can be accessed on the Internet via the Company’s website at www.emtecinc.com.
All current members of the Company’s Audit Committee are independent within the meaning of Rule 10A-3(b)(1) of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Gregory L. Cowan, the Chairman of the Audit Committee meets the definition of “audit committee financial expert” (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission).
The Audit Committee oversees the Company’s financial reporting process on behalf of the Board. Management is responsible for the Company’s financial reporting process including its system of internal control, and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The Audit Committee’s responsibility is to monitor and review these processes. It is not the Audit Committee’s duty or responsibility to conduct auditing or accounting reviews or procedures.
In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K with management, including a discussion of the quality and the acceptability of the Company’s financial reporting and controls and procedures and the certifications by the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 for certain of the Company’s filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
The Audit Committee reviewed with the independent auditors, who are responsible for expressing an opinion on the conformity of those audited financial statements with GAAP, their judgments as to the quality and the acceptability of the Company’s financial reporting and such other matters as are required to be discussed with the Audit Committee under the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). In fulfilling its oversight responsibilities, the Audit Committee reviewed the audited financial statements in the Annual Report on Form 10-K with the independent auditors. The Audit Committee has also discussed with the independent auditors for the Company the matters required to be discussed by Statement on Auditing Standards No. 114 and such other matters as are required to be discussed under auditing standards generally accepted in the United States.
The Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, “Independence Discussions with Audit Committees,” and has discussed with the independent auditors their independence. The Audit Committee reviews and approves any non-auditing services to be provided by McGladrey & Pullen, LLP prior to the firm being retained to perform such services.
The Audit Committee members are not employees of the Company and are not auditors by profession. Therefore, the Audit Committee has relied, without independent verification, on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectively and in conformity with GAAP and on the representations of the independent auditors included in their report on the Company’s financial statements. The Audit Committee’s oversight does not provide it with an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee’s considerations and discussions with management and the independent auditors do not assure that the Company’s financial statements are presented in accordance with GAAP, that the audit of the Company’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) or that the Company’s independent accountants are in fact “independent.”
The Audit Committee has reappointed, subject to stockholder ratification, the firm of McGladrey & Pullen, LLP, certified public accountants, as the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm to audit and report upon the Company’s financial statements for 2011. In appointing McGladrey & Pullen, LLP as the Company’s auditors for the year ending August 31, 2011, the Audit Committee has considered whether McGladrey & Pullen, LLP’s provision of services other than audit services are compatible with maintaining their independence.
In reliance on the reviews and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements be included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended August 31, 2010 for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Our executive compensation program is based on principles designed to align executive compensation with our business strategy of creating wealth for our stockholders and creating long-term value for the business. The Compensation Committee believes that executive compensation tied to the execution of a sound business strategy achieves stockholder value. Our compensation policy for executives is intended to further our interests, as well as those of our stockholders, by encouraging growth of our business through securing, retaining and motivating management employees of a high caliber who possess the skills necessary to our development and growth. During the 2010 fiscal year, our Compensation Committee engaged Compensation Resources, Inc. (the “Compensation Consultant”) to evaluate the Company’s chief executive officer compensation plan with respect to compensation plans of chief executive officers in peer companies. The Compensation Committee also reviewed an analysis prepared by the Company’s management regarding the dilutive effect of current and proposed compensation. After considering information provided by the Compensation Consultant and other factors, the Committee raised the base salary of our chief executive officer from $310,000 to $450,000 to be more in line with current market standards.
The following disclosure provides an overview of the compensation of our Principal Executive Officer and our two most highly compensated executive officers (other than our Principal Executive Officer) for the 2010 fiscal year who were serving as executive officers as of the end of the 2010 fiscal year.

Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
Annual Bonus Compensation
During the 2010 fiscal year, each of the named executive officers participated in the Senior Management Annual Incentive Plan (the “Incentive Plan”), under which they were eligible to receive annual bonuses based on our achievement of annual performance goals and, if applicable, their achievement of individual performance goals. The Company’s performance goals for any fiscal year may be based on net income before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”), earnings per share (“EPS”), business unit or departmental objectives, some combination of the foregoing or any other performance factors or ratios as the Compensation Committee may determine appropriate. Because of the discretion retained by the Compensation Committee to make adjustments to EBITDA in determining whether performance goals have been achieved, the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA reported in its public disclosures will not necessarily be the same as the Company’s Adjusted EBITDA for purposes of the Incentive Plan.
Each named executive officer’s target bonus opportunity under the Incentive Plan is based on a percentage of his base salary or a specific dollar amount. The threshold, or minimum, bonus that may be earned by a named executive officer is 25% of his target bonus opportunity, except in the case of Mr. Desai, whose threshold bonus opportunity is 50% of his target bonus opportunity. Subject to the discretion of the Compensation Committee, no bonus is paid unless the threshold level of performance is achieved. The maximum bonus that the named executive officers may receive, which equals 200% of their target bonus opportunity, will be awarded only if we achieve at least 130% of our financial performance objectives.
Bonuses for the 2010 fiscal year were based on (i) the Company’s attainment of specified levels of EBITDA prior to the payment of executive bonuses, stock based expenses, merger and acquisition related fees, non cash extraordinary items and expenses identified as providing value in years beyond 2010 (“Adjusted EBITDA”) and (ii) the Company’s EPS, calculated prior to Executive bonuses, stock based expenses, merger and acquisition related fees, non cash extraordinary items and expenses identified as providing value in years beyond 2010 (and adjusted for an effective tax rate) (“Adjusted EPS”). Seventy-five percent (75%) of the 2010 fiscal year bonus was based on the attainment of Adjusted EBITDA and the remaining twenty-five percent (25%) was based on the attainment of Adjusted EPS. The Compensation Committee approved the following threshold, target and maximum bonus opportunities and payment forms under the Incentive Plan for the named executive officers for the 2010 fiscal year:

For the 2010 fiscal year, the Company exceeded the Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS thresholds of $7,964,000 and $0.17, respectively, but did not achieve the target level of performance for either measure (Adjusted EBITDA of $8,742,000 and Adjusted EPS of $0.19). However, the Compensation Committee exercised its discretion under the Incentive Plan and determined not to award the Adjusted EPS portion of the bonuses because the Company did not achieve a positive EPS after giving effect to executive bonuses, stock based expenses, merger and acquisition related fees, non cash extraordinary items and expenses identified as providing value in years beyond 2010. As a result, Messrs. Desai, Seitz and Chandler earned 25% of their Adjusted EBITDA target bonuses for achieving the threshold level of Adjusted EBITDA and an additional 57.6% of their target Adjusted EBITDA bonus for exceeding the threshold level, but not reaching the target level, of Adjusted EBITDA. Accordingly, Messrs. Desai, Seitz and Chandler earned bonuses under the Incentive Plan for the 2010 fiscal year equal to 62%, 62% and 62% of their target bonuses, respectively.
Accordingly, Messrs. Desai, Seitz and Chandler received bonuses under the Incentive Plan for the 2010 fiscal year equal to $139,468, $93,967 and $85,230, respectively. Seventy percent (70%) of each named executive officer’s bonus was paid in cash and the remaining thirty percent (30%) was paid in the form of a restricted stock award that was granted on December 9, 2010 and is scheduled to vest in full on December 2, 2011, subject to the applicable executive’s continued employment on that date. Based on the market value of our Common Stock on December 9, 2010, Mr. Desai received 40,231 shares of restricted stock, Mr. Seitz received 27,106 shares of restricted stock and Mr. Chandler received 24,586 shares of restricted stock. The cash portion of these bonus awards that was received based on the achievement of Adjusted EBITDA and Adjusted EPS targets is reported in the Summary Compensation Table under the column titled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation.”
Please note that in determining each named executive officer’s bonus amount, bonuses are determined on a pro-rata basis (based on the amount by which actual Adjusted EBITDA exceeds threshold Adjusted EBITDA) in the event that more than threshold, but less than target, Adjusted EBITDA is achieved.
Equity-Based Incentive Compensation
Messrs Desai, Seitz and Chandler received grants of 46,040, 42,884, and 13,614 shares of restricted stock, respectively, as part of their 2009 fiscal year awards under the Incentive Plan. These awards were granted on December 15, 2009 and become fully vested on December 15, 2010.

(2) On December 9, 2009, in connection with the cessation of his employment with the Company, the Company granted Mr. Grabel 87,026 shares of restricted stock which vested on December 10, 2009.
(3) Amounts shown represent the grant date fair value for option awards and stock awards granted during the 2010 fiscal year, calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718 (excluding amounts for forfeitures). The fair value of all the option awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. We use the Black-Scholes formula to calculate an assumed value of the options for compensation expense purposes. Because the formula uses assumptions, the fair values calculated are not necessarily indicative of the actual values of the stock options. For fiscal year 2010, the assumptions used were: a dividend yield of 0%; a risk-free interest rate of 2.01%; an expected life of five years; and stock price volatility of 88%. As of August 31, 2010, Messrs. Mannarino, Cowan, and Grabel held options to purchase 60,000, 23,333, and -0- shares of our Common Stock, respectively.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
Below are the related party transactions which occurred during the fiscal years ended August 31, 2010 and 2009. It is our policy that all related party transactions are approved or ratified by the Company’s Audit Committee. Certain of the transactions described below are pursuant to contractual arrangements entered into by Darr Westwood Technology Corporation (“Darr”) prior to its merger with the Company in 2005.
We occupy approximately 43,000 square feet of office and warehouse space in Springfield, New Jersey. This space is leased from Westwood Property Holdings, LLC, in which Mr. Keith Grabel, a former director of the Company and our second largest shareholder, and Mr. David Micales, our Senior Vice President, are members. The original lease term was through April 2009 with monthly base rent of $15,000. We exercised the option to extend the lease for an additional five year term through April 2014, with monthly base rent of $17,250.
We occupy office and warehouse space in a 70,000 square foot building in Suwannee, Georgia. This space is leased from GS&T Properties, LLC, in which Mr. Ronald Seitz, an executive officer of our company, is a passive investor and owns an approximate 10% equity interest. The original lease term for approximately 26,000 square feet was through November 2009 with monthly base rent of $15,832. We exercised the option to extend the lease as well as expanding the leased space to approximately 36,000 square feet for an additional five year term through November 2014, with a monthly base rent of $20,816.
Other Agreements
5% Subordinated Note payable to DARR Global Holdings, Inc. On February 5, 2007 in connection with the termination of a Management Services Agreement between it and DARR Global Holdings, Inc. (“DARR Global”), Emtec Federal issued a subordinated promissory note to DARR Global. The principal amount of the note is $1,002,900. The note reached maturity on August 5, 2010 and all outstanding principal and interest was repaid on that date.
Letter Agreement with DARR Westwood LLC. On August 2, 2010, the Company entered into a letter agreement (the “Letter Agreement”) with DARR Westwood LLC (the “Investor”), pursuant to which, among other things, (a) the Investor agreed (i) to certain transfer restrictions on shares of Common Stock owned by the Investor, which are described below, and (ii) to transfer to the Company for cancellation the existing warrant owned by the Investor to purchase 8% of the outstanding Common Stock on a fully diluted basis, and (b) the Company issued to the Investor a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase up to an aggregate of 1,401,733 shares of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share, of the Company (“Common Stock”) at an exercise price of $2.11 per share. The Investor’s sole member is Dinesh R. Desai, the Company’s Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President. Under the terms of the Letter Agreement, the Investor is prohibited during the specified restricted period from transferring or publicly announcing any intention to transfer, in either case without the unanimous approval of the disinterested members of the Company’s board of directors, (a) all or any portion of the Warrant or the Investor’s rights under the Warrant or (b) any shares of Common Stock currently or in the future owned by the Investor. However, this prohibition does not apply to any transfer of shares of Common Stock pursuant to which both (x) the transferee is an independent third party and (y) the price paid by the transferee is equal to or greater than $5.00 per share in cash. The restricted period specified in the Letter Agreement commenced on August 2, 2010 and terminates on the earlier to occur of (a) August 2, 2015 or (b) the date on which both (i) the average of the daily volume weighted average price per share of Common Stock over the immediately preceding 45 trading days that at least one share of Common Stock was traded is $5.00 or more, and (ii) the average daily trading volume of shares of Common Stock over the 45 consecutive trading days (regardless of whether any shares of Common Stock were traded on any such trading day) immediately preceding such date is 10,000 or more. The Letter Agreement also requires that if the Company causes its Common Stock to become listed on a national securities exchange, the Company will also list and maintain the listing of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrant on such national securities exchange. In addition, subject to certain conditions, the Company is required under the Letter Agreement to provide prior notice to the Investor if, at any time before the Warrant has been exercised in full, the Company effects certain specified corporate actions, including selecting a record date for dividends or distributions or effecting a reorganization, reclassification, merger, consolidation, sale, transfer, disposition, dissolution, liquidation or winding up involving the Company. The Warrant entitles the Investor to purchase 1,401,733 shares of Common Stock at $2.11 per share and expires on August 2, 2015. The Warrant also contains provisions for cashless exercise and weighted average anti-dilution protection for subsequent issuances or deemed issuances of Common Stock by the Company for consideration per share less than the per share exercise price of the Warrant in effect immediately prior to such issuance or deemed issuance.
Family Relationships
There are no family relationships among our directors or officers.

All officers and other key employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries shall be eligible to be selected by the Committee to participate in the Plan.
IV. Administration
A. General. The Committee shall have the authority, subject to the provisions herein, (A) to select employees to participate in the Plan; (B) to establish and administer the Performance Goals and the AIP Bonus opportunities applicable to each Participant and certify whether the Performance Goals have been attained; (C) to determine whether AIP Bonuses will be paid in cash, shares of Restricted Stock (which may or may not be subject to vesting, as determined by the Committee, in its discretion) or in any combination of the foregoing; (D) to construe and interpret the Plan and any agreement or instrument entered into under or in connection with the Plan; (E) to establish, amend, and waive rules and regulations for the Plan’s administration; and (F) to make all other determinations that may be necessary or advisable for the administration of the Plan. Any determination by the Committee pursuant to the Plan shall be final, binding and conclusive on all employees and Participants and anyone claiming under or through any of them. Neither the Committee, nor any member of the Committee, shall be liable for any act, omission, interpretation, construction or determination made in good faith in connection with the Plan, and the members of the Committee shall be entitled in all cases to indemnification and reimbursement by the Company in respect of any claim, loss, damage or expense (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) arising or resulting therefrom to the fullest extent permitted by law.
B. Adjustments. To the extent that a Performance Goal is based on, or calculated with respect to, the Company’s Stock (such as earnings per share, net income per share, book value per share or other similar measures), then in the event of any corporate transaction involving the Company (including, without limitation, any subdivision or combination or exchange of the outstanding shares of common stock, stock dividend, stock split, spin-off, split-off, recapitalization, capital reorganization, liquidation, reclassification of shares of common stock, merger, consolidation, extraordinary cash distribution, or sale, lease or transfer of substantially all of the assets of the Company), the Committee shall make or provide for such adjustments in such Performance Goal as the Committee may in good faith determine to be equitably required in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits of Participants hereunder (provided that with respect to Qualified AIP Bonuses, any such adjustment shall be made in accordance with Code Section 162(m) and the regulations thereunder).
V. Establishment of Performance Goals and AIP Bonus Opportunities
No later than the Determination Date for each Performance Period, the Committee shall establish in writing (i) the employees of the Company and its Subsidiaries who shall be Participants in the Plan with respect to such Performance Period, (ii) the Performance Goals applicable to each such Participant (including, as the Committee deems advisable, threshold, target and maximum levels of performance), (iii) each Participant’s target and, if applicable, threshold and maximum AIP Bonus opportunities for such Performance Period, (iv) the method for computing the amount of AIP Bonuses that may be payable under the Plan to each Participant for such Performance Period if the Performance Goals established by the Committee for such Performance Period are attained in whole or in part and (v) whether such AIP Bonuses are intended to be Qualified AIP Bonuses or Non-Qualified AIP Bonuses.
VI. Attainment of Performance Goals Required; Employment Status
Subject to Section VII hereof, AIP Bonuses shall be paid as provided under this Plan for any Performance Period only upon the attainment of the Performance Goals established by the Committee with respect to such Performance Period. Payment of any AIP Bonus shall also be contingent upon the Participant remaining employed by the Company or a Subsidiary on the date such AIP Bonus is paid. A Participant whose employment terminates prior to the AIP Bonus payment date for any reason shall not be entitled to any AIP Bonuses under the Plan that have not been paid as of such termination.
VII. Additional Rules Applicable to Qualified AIP Bonuses
A. Prior to the relevant Determination Date, the Committee shall designate in writing whether a Participant’s AIP Bonuses are intended to be Qualified AIP Bonuses or Non-Qualified AIP Bonuses. Unless otherwise specifically determined by the Committee, all AIP Bonuses granted to a “covered employee” within the meaning of Code Section 162(m) are intended to be Qualified AIP Bonuses.
B. Qualified AIP Bonuses must be based solely on the attainment of one or more objective Performance Goals and may not be based on subjective criteria. In addition, prior to the Determination Date, the Committee shall designate in writing how the relevant Performance Goals with respect to the Performance Period will be calculated.
C. Neither the grant nor the payment of any Non-Qualified AIP Bonus shall be made contingent on the failure to earn any Qualified AIP Bonus.
D. The maximum aggregate Qualified AIP Bonuses that may be payable to any Participant under the Plan in any fiscal year of the Company shall not exceed $2,000,000.
E. The Committee shall have no discretion to increase the amount of Qualified AIP Bonuses that would otherwise be due upon attainment of the relevant Performance Goals; provided, however, that the Committee may exercise negative discretion within the meaning of Treasury regulation 1.162-27(e)(2)(iii)(A) with respect to any Qualified AIP Bonus hereunder to reduce any amount that would otherwise be payable hereunder.
F. Payment of any Qualified AIP Bonus pursuant to this Plan shall be contingent upon an affirmative vote of the stockholders of at least a majority of the votes cast (including abstentions) approving the Plan, including the basis upon which Performance Goals may be established under Section II(M) hereof, sufficient to satisfy the applicable requirements of Code section 162(m) and the regulations promulgated thereunder. Unless and until such stockholder approval is obtained, no Qualified AIP Bonus shall be paid pursuant to this Plan.
G. Payment of any Qualified AIP Bonuses pursuant to this Plan shall be contingent upon the Committee’s certifying in writing that the Performance Goals and any other material terms applicable to such Qualified AIP Bonuses were in fact satisfied, in accordance with applicable regulations under Code section 162(m). Unless and until the Committee so certifies, such Qualified AIP Bonuses shall not be paid.
VIII. Payment of AIP Bonuses; Tax Withholdings
A. Earned AIP Bonuses shall be paid no later than December 31st of the year in which such AIP Bonuses are earned. Unless otherwise determined by the Committee prior to the beginning of the relevant Performance Period, 70% of a Participant’s earned AIP Bonuses shall be payable in cash and 30% of a Participant’s earned AIP Bonuses shall be payable in shares of Restricted Stock (with the number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to be based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the grant date). In addition, with the consent of the Committee, a Participant may elect to receive all or a portion of his AIP Bonus that is otherwise payable in cash in shares of Restricted Stock (with the number of shares of Restricted Stock granted to be based on the Fair Market Value of the Stock on the grant date); provided, however, that any such election must be in writing and filed with the Committee by no later than (and shall become irrevocable on) the December 31st preceding the first day of the fiscal year to which such election relates. With respect to the portion of earned AIP Bonuses paid in the form of Restricted Stock, any Participant who is subject to the reporting requirements of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, may direct the Company to retain a number of shares of Restricted Stock that the Participant would otherwise receive to satisfy any such withholding obligation (with such withholding not to occur at a rate in excess of the minimum required withholding rate).
B. The Company shall have the right to deduct from all AIP Bonuses payable hereunder (including, without limitation, withholding shares of Restricted Stock, if applicable) any federal, state, local or foreign taxes required by law to be withheld with respect to such payments and no AIP Bonuses will be paid until the Participant has made arrangements with the Company to satisfy any such withholding taxes.
IX. Amendment, Termination and Term of Plan
The Board, without the consent of any Participant, may at any time terminate or from time to time amend the Plan in whole or in part, whether prospectively or retroactively, including in any manner that adversely affects the rights of Participants; provided, however, that no amendment with respect to, or affecting, Qualified AIP Bonuses that would require the consent of the stockholders of the Company pursuant to section 162(m) of the Code shall be effective without such consent; provided further, however, that prior to amending or terminating the Plan, the Board shall first consult with the Committee.
X. Interpretation and Construction
A. No provision of the Plan, nor the selection of any Participant, shall constitute an employment agreement or affect the duration of any Participant’s employment, which shall remain “employment at will” unless an employment agreement between the Company or a Subsidiary and the Participant provides otherwise. Both the Participant and the Company shall remain free to terminate employment at any time to the same extent as if the Plan had not been adopted.
B. Any provision of the Plan that could be construed to prevent Qualified AIP Bonuses under the Plan from qualifying for deductibility under section 162(m) of the Code or Treasury regulation 1.162-27(e) shall, to such extent, be disregarded.
XI. Governing Law
The terms of this Plan shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the conflicts of laws principles thereof.
