STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Our executive compensation program is designed and implemented primarily by the Compensation Committee with input from a number of sources, including the
full Board of Directors, our President and Chief Executive Officer and such additional compensation information as the Compensation Committee deems appropriate. The Compensation Committee does not delegate, to management or any other parties, its
duties to review our executive compensation program, which it reviews annually. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In determining compensation for our executive officers,
the Compensation Committee annually reviews information which it deems relevant. The Compensation Committee also evaluates our performance and generally determines whether the compensation elements and levels that it provides to its executive
officers are appropriate relative to their counterparts, in light of each executive officer&#146;s individual contribution to our overall performance. The Compensation Committee does not believe that it is appropriate to establish compensation
levels based on compensation provided by other companies. Instead, the Compensation Committee relies upon its judgment in making compensation decisions after carefully evaluating each executive officer&#146;s individual performance and our
performance during the year. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Compensation Committee directly determines the compensation package provided to our Chief Executive
Officer based on the Chief Executive Officer&#146;s individual performance and the performance of our company as a whole, receiving input as it deems appropriate. In addition to being reviewed and approved by the Compensation Committee, the
compensation package for our Chief Executive Officer is reviewed and approved by the full Board of Directors, other than the Chief Executive Officer. For named executive officers other than the Chief Executive Officer, as well as for our other
executive officers, the Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations for each individual&#146;s compensation package to the Compensation Committee. In making these recommendations, the Chief Executive Officer considers the individual&#146;s
performance, performance of the company as a whole and the individual&#146;s contribution to our performance. The Compensation Committee discusses these recommendations with the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee further reviews and
discusses these recommendations in executive session without any members of management present. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B><I>Elements of Executive Compensation
</I></B></FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">We seek to achieve the objectives of the executive compensation program through a mix of cash and equity compensation, plus

Base salary for executive officers, including the Chief Executive Officer, is determined on the date of hire, and evaluated annually thereafter or on any material change of duties, responsibilities or position. In determining base salary for
executive officers, the Compensation Committee considers individual and company performance, potential of the executive officer to contribute to our long-term success, scope of responsibilities, experience and competitive salary practices.
</FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Annual Cash Bonuses</B>. For fiscal year 2008, we have established an executive officer and employee incentive plan designed to
motivate its employees to achieve our financial objectives and to reward them for their achievements when those objectives are met. Under the incentive plan, target bonus amounts vary based on a percentage of the participant&#146;s base salary, and
the amount of bonus actually paid to a participant will be based on the achievement of positive income from operations (including the cost of the incentive plan). All of our employees, including executive officers, are entitled to participate in the
incentive plan. The target bonuses under the plan are 50% of base salary for executive officers and sales personnel, 25% of base salary for managers and 10% of base salary for all other employees. Employees are entitled to a bonus of two times the
target bonus in the event income from operations exceeds $1 million for fiscal year 2008, including the cost of the incentive plan. We had a similar incentive plan in place for fiscal 2007, but we did not achieve our financial objectives under the
plan in fiscal 2007 and no bonuses were awarded. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Long-Term Incentive Compensation</B>. Long-term incentive compensation generally includes awards
granted under our stock option plans. The objective of equity compensation awards is to align executive officers&#146; interests with the longer term interests of stockholders. These awards, which are at risk and dependent on the creation of
incremental stockholder value over several years, represent a portion of the total compensation opportunity provided for the executive officers. Award sizes are based on level of responsibility, the individual&#146;s potential to make significant
contributions to the company, individual performance and award levels at other similar companies. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Other Benefits Programs</B>. Our
executive compensation program also includes what we believes to be competitive benefits plans and programs, including a 401(k) savings plan and health and welfare benefits, such as medical, dental, vision care and life insurance benefits. In
addition, from time to time, we provide executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that it and the Compensation Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation philosophy. The Compensation Committee
periodically reviews the types and levels of perquisites that are provided to executive officers. Mr.&nbsp;Norris is also provided an automobile, on which we make the lease payments. </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Severance Benefits</B>. Upon termination of employment, Messrs. Brown and Croft are entitled to receive severance payments under their employment
agreements with us. The Compensation Committee reviews and determines the severance benefits provided to executive officers in connection with reviewing employment agreements and offer letters. Information regarding the severance benefits to which
Mr.&nbsp;Brown is entitled is provided under the heading &#147;Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control&#148; below. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, a public company is generally denied deductions for compensation paid to the chief executive officer and the next four most highly compensated executive officers to the extent the compensation for any such
individual exceeds one million dollars for the taxable year. Our executive compensation programs are designed to preserve the deductibility of compensation payable to executive officers, although deductibility will be only one among a number of
factors considered in determining appropriate levels or types of compensation. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px" ALIGN="center"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>2007 Summary Compensation Table </B></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The table below summarizes the total compensation paid or earned by our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer and each of our two other most
highly compensated executive officers for the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2007 (representing all of our executive officers serving at that date who earned over $100,000 in salary and bonus for the fiscal year ending on that date), and one
additional individual that served as an executive officer during the fiscal year ended September&nbsp;30, 2007 but was no longer serving at September&nbsp;30, 2007. We refer to each of such persons as a &#147;named executive officer.&#148;
