Retention Bonus You will be eligible for a lump sum cash payment on the first anniversary of the Acquisition Date provided that you are employed by the Company as of such date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of your annual base salary in effect as of the Acquisition Date, plus (ii) 100% of the annual bonus paid to you for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 (such sum, the “First Year Retention Bonus”). You will be eligible for a lump sum cash payment on the second anniversary of the Acquisition Date provided that you are employed by the Company as of such date in an amount equal to the sum of (i) 100% of your annual base salary in effect as of the Acquisition Date, plus (ii) 100% of the annual bonus paid to you for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 (such sum, the “Second Year Retention Bonus”). Except as set forth below, you will not be eligible for the retention bonuses as set forth above if your employment terminates prior to such applicable anniversary. In the event of your Voluntary Termination for Good Reason (as defined below), the termination of your employment by the Company other than for Justifiable Cause, or in the event of your death or “permanent disability” as defined in the Company’s long-term disability policy (i) during the first twelve month period following the Acquisition Date, you will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the First Year Retention Bonus, counting full months of employment with the Company from the Acquisition Date through such termination, and (ii) during the second twelve month period following the Acquisition Date, you will be eligible for a pro rata portion of the Second Year Retention Bonus, counting full months of employment with the Company from the first anniversary of the Acquisition Date through such termination. Any prorated payment pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be made within 10 business days of such termination. If the annual bonus payment for the Company’s fiscal year ending December 31, 2008 has not been paid to you or otherwise determined by the Company as of the date the prorated payment is due, the prorated payment shall be calculated using your target bonus amount for 2008. Payments under this Section 8 shall be net of any applicable withholding taxes. For purposes of this Section 8, “Voluntary Termination for Good Reason” shall have the same meaning as given to such term under the Key Employee Change in Control Severance Plan as in effect immediately prior to the Acquisition Date, but with respect to the First Year Retention Bonus only, determined without regard to clause (ii) thereof.”

Transaction Bonus In addition, in the event of a transaction involving a Change in Control, in a transaction approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, which transaction results in the receipt by the Company’s stockholders of consideration with a value representing, in the sole judgment of the Board of Directors, a significant premium over the average of the closing prices per share of the Company’s common stock as quoted on the Nasdaq National Market for 20 trading days ending one day prior to the public announcement of such transaction (a “Change in Control Transaction”), Executive shall be paid a Transaction Bonus at the closing of such a transaction in the amount equal to one (1) times 50% of Executive’s Base Salary in effect immediately preceding the closing of such a transaction. Executive shall also be paid said Transaction Bonus if the Company enters into a transaction approved by the Board of Directors which is not a Change in Control Transaction, but which, nonetheless, involves a significant change in the ownership of the Company or the composition of the Board of Directors of the Company, and which results in significant additional value for the Company’s stockholders, as determined by the Board of Directors in its sole discretion and as specifically designated a significant event by the Board of Directors (a “Significant Event”).
