    <I>Director Nominations.</I>&#160;&#160;The Nominating and
    Corporate Governance Committee of the Board considers candidates
    for director nominees proposed by directors and stockholders.
    This Committee may retain recruiting professionals to assist in
    identifying and evaluating candidates for director nominees. As
    set forth in our Governance Guidelines, the Board seeks members
    from diverse professional backgrounds with a reputation for
    integrity who do not have professional commitments that might
    unreasonably interfere with the demands and duties of a board
    member. Candidates for director are reviewed in the context of
    the current composition of the Board, the operating requirements
    of the Company and the long-term interests of the Company&#146;s
    stockholders. In conducting this assessment, the Board considers
    diversity, age, skills and such other factors as it deems
    appropriate given the current needs of the Board and the Company
    to maintain a balance of knowledge, experience and capability.
    Candidates for director should have certain minimum
    qualifications, including the ability to read and understand
    basic financial statements, and must be over 21&#160;years of
    age and possess the highest personal integrity and ethics. The
    Committee also considers whether the nominee must be independent
    for Nasdaq purposes.

    All members of the Board may interview the final candidates. The

    Our non-employee director compensation plan provides for both
    cash and equity compensation for our non-employee directors. The
    principal features of the non-employee director compensation
    plan are described below. The Board determines director
    compensation based upon the review and recommendation of the
    Compensation Committee. The Board adopted the non-employee
    director compensation plan described below in June 2006 after
    consideration of an independent director compensation survey and
    consideration of independent director compensation at several
    publicly held companies in our industry or with which the
    directors were familiar that were comparable in size to the
    Company. In 2006, management gathered director compensation
    information for comparable companies and developed preliminary
    recommendations for consideration by the Compensation Committee
    and the Board.

    In 2007, the Compensation Committee engaged Radford Surveys +
    Consulting, a unit of Aon Consulting (&#147;Radford&#148;), an
    independent compensation consultant, to provide a comprehensive
    review on compensation for membership on the Board and its
    committees and to make recommendations from time to time to the
    Board with regard to such compensation matters. Based upon the
    compensation assessment practices relative to our peers and
    other market data provided by Radford, the Board determined not
    to change director compensation in 2007.

    Pursuant to our non-employee director compensation plan that we

    following the meeting, a grant of stock options to purchase
    6,667&#160;shares of our common stock vesting in four equal
    annual installments. Upon initial election to the Board, each
    new non-employee director receives a grant of stock options to
    purchase 20,000&#160;shares of our common stock vesting in four
    equal annual installments. The exercise price of each of these
    stock options was not less than the fair market value of our
    common stock on the date of grant. The non-employee director
    compensation plan provides that, with respect to options granted
    after the adoption of the plan, any director who retires after
    at least eight years of service on the Board will be entitled to
    full vesting of all options then held by such director. Our
    non-employee directors stock option plan is described under

    determined and approved the compensation of our executive

    Annual cash incentives are granted under our Senior Executive
    Short-Term Incentive Plan (&#147;STIP&#148;) that was adopted in
    2005. The STIP is administered by the Compensation Committee,

    cash or non-cash, granted pursuant to the terms of the STIP.
    Historically, the emphasis of the STIP has been on company-wide
    performance goals in order to foster a shared commitment among
    executives. Generally, award levels for executives are the same
    as a percentage of salary, except for the Chief Executive
    Officer who generally receives awards at a greater percentage of
    salary than the other officers for achievement of the same
    performance goals. The Compensation Committee determines who is
    eligible to receive awards under the STIP, establishes
    performance goals and objectives for those eligible employees,
    establishes target awards for each participant for the relevant
    performance period, and determines what percentage of the target
    award should be allocated to the achievement of each of the
    chosen performance targets.

    expenses in excess of budgeted amounts), each as determined

    Upon the achievement of the objectives for each performance

    cash incentive payment ranging from 11% (upon achievement of the

    the Compensation Committee in 2007 were not met. While
    objectives were intended to be achievable by the Company, a
    maximum bonus would require very high levels of Company
    performance. The Compensation Committee believes that the goals
    are reasonably difficult to achieve, as demonstrated by the fact

    The Compensation Committee strove to set aggressive performance
    objectives, including minimum and maximum targets for net sales
    from $180&#160;million to $216&#160;million, representing annual
    growth levels of 26% to 51% from the prior year. The minimum and
    maximum earnings before taxes targets were set from
    $48&#160;million to $77&#160;million, representing growth levels
    of 71% to 174% from the prior year level. After reviewing the
    Company&#146;s financial performance for 2007, the Compensation
    Committee awarded the Chief Executive Officer a cash incentive
    payment equal to approximately 45% of base salary and the other
    Named Executive Officers a cash incentive payment equal to
    approximately 30% of base salary. These amounts are set forth in
    the &#147;Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation&#148; column of
    the 2007 and 2006 Summary Compensation Table below.

    The Compensation Committee may make adjustments to our overall
    corporate performance goals and the ways that our actual
    performance results are calculated that may cause differences
    between the numbers used for our performance goals and the
    numbers reported in our financial statements. These adjustments
    may exclude all or a portion of both the positive or negative
    effect of external events that are outside the control of our
    executives, such as natural disasters, litigation or changes in
    accounting or taxation standards. These adjustments also may
    exclude all or a portion of both the positive or negative effect
    of unusual or significant strategic events that are within the
    control of our executives but that are undertaken with an
    expectation of improving our long-term financial performance,
    such as restructurings, acquisitions or divestitures. In 2007,
    there were no specific individual performance objectives for
    incentive awards under the STIP. The Compensation Committee may
    exercise its discretion and take into account individual
    performance in determining awards in the future. Target total
    cash compensation levels for all executives was aligned with the
    50th&#160;market percentile, with the exception of the General
    Counsel, whose target cash compensation was at the
    75th&#160;market percentile.

    <I>Long-term Equity Incentives.</I>&#160;&#160;The goal of our
    equity-based award program is to provide employees and
    executives with the perspective of an owner who has a financial
    stake in the success of IPG, thus further increasing alignment
    with stockholder interest. Long-term incentive awards provide
    employees with the incentive to stay with us for longer periods
    of time, which, in turn, provides us with greater stability, and
    directly links compensation to the long-term performance of the
    Company. In addition, these awards are less costly to us in the
    short term than cash compensation. We review long-term equity
    incentives for our Named Executive Officers and other executives
    annually.

    For our Named Executive Officers, our stock option program is
    based on grants that were individually negotiated in connection
    with their hiring by the Company and subsequent periodic grants.
    We have traditionally used stock options as equity compensation
    because stock options provide a relatively straightforward
    incentive for our executives, result in less immediate dilution
    of existing stockholders&#146; interests and, prior to our
    adoption of SFAS&#160;123(R), resulted in less compensation
    expense for us relative to other types of equity awards.
    Generally, our stock options vest in four equal installments on
    anniversaries of the dates of grant. Historically, our Chief
    Executive Officer has not received annual grants of stock
    options because, as the Company&#146;s largest stockholder, he
    has the perspective of an owner with a significant financial
    stake in IPG&#146;s success.

    In light of a 2006 grant of stock options designed to provide
    long-term incentives for executives to remain with us following
    our IPO in December 2006 and the compensation consultant&#146;s
    determination that equity compensation levels were at the
    75th&#160;market percentile, the Compensation Committee did not
    approve the grant of any stock options to executives in 2007.
    Beginning in 2008, the Compensation Committee will consider an
    annual equity compensation program based upon 50th&#160;market
    percentile levels. Employees, including the Named Executive
    Officers, will also be eligible to participate in our 2008
    Employee Stock Purchase Plan, if such plan is approved by our
    stockholders at the 2008 annual meeting of stockholders.

    employment for good reason, he would receive 100% salary
    continuation for the longer of one year or the remaining term of
    his agreement, but in no event longer than two years. The
    definition of &#147;good reason&#148; for each Named Executive
    Officer includes the failure of the executive to maintain his
    specific executive position, a material reduction in the
    executive&#146;s authorities and responsibilities, a relocation
    of the offices of the executive of more than 35&#160;miles or a
    material breach by us of the executive&#146;s employment
    agreement. Under the employment agreements, we are not obligated
    to make any cash payments to these executives if their
    employment is terminated by us for cause or by the executive not
    for good reason. A change in control does not affect the amount
    of any cash severance payments.

    The stock options awarded to the Named Executive Officers do not
    provide for automatic accelerated vesting if the Company
    terminates employment without cause, if the employee terminates
    employment for good reason or upon a change in control. Each of
    the 2000 Incentive Compensation Plan and the 2006 Incentive
    Compensation Plan provides that, upon a change in control of the
    Company, the Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, may
    (i)&#160;accelerate the time for exercise or payout of all
    outstanding awards, (ii)&#160;pay the holder equal to the
    difference between the fair market value of the award on the
    date of the change in control and the exercise price per share,
    if any, of such award or (iii)&#160;provide that all outstanding
    awards will either be assumed by the entity that acquires
    control or substituted for similar awards by such entity. See

    Dr.&#160;Valentin P. Gapontsev and Igor Samartsev own 26.7% and

    IRE-Polus is owned by certain of NTO IRE-Polus&#146;s other
    current and former employees and unaffiliated third parties. NTO
    IRE-Polus provides us with low-cost contract manufacturing
    capacity and sells products to customers in Russia and
    neighboring countries. We acquired our majority ownership
    interest directly from NTO IRE-Polus in 2001. At such time, we
    agreed to invest up to $5.0&#160;million in NTO IRE-Polus,
    subject to our approval of the business plan of NTO IRE-Polus.
    We have invested the full $5.0&#160;million as of March 2007.
    This investment did not increase our equity interest in NTO
    IRE-Polus. The investment has been used solely for equipment
    purchases and the development of additional manufacturing
    capacity. All profits earned by NTO IRE-Polus to date have been
    re-invested in NTO IRE-Polus and there have been no
    distributions to stockholders of NTO IRE-Polus since we
    purchased our majority interest. The charter of NTO IRE-Polus
    provides that the stockholders of NTO IRE-Polus may each
    quarter, once a half-year, or once a year approve net profit
    distributions to the stockholders in proportion to their shares
    in NTO IRE-Polus&#146;s authorized capital.

    The Board adopted a related party transaction policy that
    requires the Company&#146;s executive officers, directors and
    nominees for director to promptly notify the Corporate Secretary
    in writing of any transaction in which (i)&#160;the amount
    exceeds $100,000, (ii)&#160;the Company is, was or is proposed
    to be a participant and (iii)&#160;such person or such
    person&#146;s immediate family members (&#147;Related
    Persons&#148;) has, had or may have a direct or indirect
    material interest (a &#147;Related Person Transaction&#148;).
    Subject to certain exceptions in the policy, Related Person
    Transactions must be brought to the attention of the Nominating
    and Corporate Governance Committee for an assessment of whether
    the transaction or proposed transaction should be permitted to
    proceed. In deciding whether to approve or ratify the Related
    Person Transaction, the Nominating and Corporate Governance
    Committee is required to consider all relevant facts and
    circumstances, including without limitation the materiality of
    the Related Person&#146;s direct or indirect interest in the
    Related Person Transaction, the materiality of the Related
    Person Transaction to the Company, the impact of the Related
    Person Transaction on the Related Person, the impact of the
    Related Person Transaction on the Related Person&#146;s
    independence (as determined by the Governance Guidelines and the
    listing standards of the Nasdaq Global Market) and the actual or
    apparent conflict of interest of the Related Person
    participating in the Related Person Transaction. If the
    Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines that
    the Related Person has a direct or indirect material interest in
    any such transaction, the Committee must review and approve,
    ratify or disapprove the Related Person Transaction.

    Pursuant to our Governance Guidelines, we expect each of our
    directors to ensure that other existing and future commitments
    do not conflict with or materially interfere with his or her
    service as a director. Directors are expected to avoid any
    action, position or interest that conflicts with our interests
    or gives the appearance of a conflict. In addition, directors
    should inform the chairman of our Nominating and Corporate
    Governance Committee prior to joining the Board of another
    public company to ensure that any potential conflicts, excessive
    time demands or other issues are carefully considered.
