These restrictions on the sale of the underlying shares lapse with respect to 25% of the shares annually.

Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment and Change-in-Control Arrangements

Other than the employment agreement with Clifton E. Lind, we do not have employment agreements with our executive officers.

Employment Agreement with Clifton E. Lind. On September 9, 2004, we entered into an Executive Employment Agreement with Clifton E. Lind to provide for Mr. Lind to continue as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, and setting forth certain terms of Mr. Lind’s employment. The agreement provides that Mr. Lind will receive an annual base salary of $450,000 and will be eligible to receive incentive compensation on an annual basis as determined by the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors, based upon a performance review of Mr. Lind performed by the Compensation Committee. The agreement also specifies that Mr. Lind will be eligible to receive all customary and usual fringe and other benefits generally available to our executive officers, in accordance with the terms and conditions of any applicable benefit plans, including group health, life and disability insurance and participation in Multimedia’s 401(k) plan.

In the event that Mr. Lind’s employment is terminated without cause or Mr. Lind terminates his employment for good reason (as defined in the agreement), subject to Mr. Lind’s observance of the surviving terms of the agreement and Mr. Lind’s execution of a full general release, Mr. Lind will receive (i) his base salary for 18 months, in equal monthly installments, following the date of termination, (ii) one year of his projected incentive compensation, and (iii) full acceleration of the vesting of any unexercised or unvested stock options that he holds. In the event that Mr. Lind voluntarily resigns as President and Chief Executive Officer, for any reason, Mr. Lind will receive his base salary for 18 months, in equal monthly installments, following the date of termination and one year of his projected incentive compensation. Upon the termination of Mr. Lind’s employment for any reason, Mr. Lind will be prohibited from (i) working for, providing assistance to, or investing in (subject to certain exceptions) any business that is competitive with that of the Company for a period of 18 months, (ii) soliciting any of our customers, prospective customers or disparaging the Company for a period of 12 months, (iii) soliciting any of our employees for a period of 18 months, and (iv) disclosing any of our confidential information.

Stock Option Agreements. Virtually all of the stock option agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers and other executive officers and key employees provide for full vesting of all unvested shares in the event of a change of control of the Company. Change of control, as defined in the agreements, means any merger or consolidation, sale of assets, dissolution or the acquisition by any person of at least 51% of our voting stock.

Stock Option Agreements with Clifton E. Lind. In addition to the change of control vesting described above, our stock option agreements with Clifton E. Lind provide for full vesting of all unvested shares subject to his option upon the termination by Mr. Lind of his employment for good reason. Good reason, as defined in the agreement, relates to a diminution of Mr. Lind’s salary, position or responsibilities within our company. Our agreements with Mr. Lind also provide for acceleration of vesting as to all unvested shares that would otherwise vest through the second anniversary of our termination of Mr. Lind without cause, or Mr. Lind’s termination of his employment without good reason.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the fiscal year ended September 30, 2006, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors consisted of Mr. Winkelman and Mr. Thomas Sarnoff, who resigned as a director of the Company and member of the Compensation Committee in October 2006. Neither of these individuals has served at any time as an officer or employee of the Company or is an executive officer at any company where an executive officer of the Company serves on the Compensation Committee.

Audit Fees. Audit Fees represent fees for professional services provided in connection with the audit of our annual financial statements and of management’s assessment and the operating effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting including in our Form 10-K, the quarterly reviews of financial statements included in our Form 10-Q filings and other statutory or regulatory filings.

Audit-Related Fees. Audit-Related Fees are fees for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the attendance at our Audit Committee meetings and our Annual Shareholders’ Meeting. This category includes fees related to assistance in employee benefit and compensation plan audits, SAS 70 audit and consulting on financial accounting/reporting standards.


Tax Fees. Tax Fees primarily include professional services performed with respect to review of our original and amended tax returns and those of our consolidated subsidiaries, and for state, local and international tax consultation.

All Other Fees. All other fees includes the aggregate fees for products and services provided by BDO Seidman, LLP that are not reported under “Audit Fees,” “Audit Related Fees” or “Tax Fees”. There were not other fees in the fiscal years ended September 30, 2006 and September 30, 2005.

The Audit Committee has also adopted procedures for preapproving all audit and non-audit services provided by BDO Seidman, LLP. These procedures include reviewing a budget for audit and permitted non-audit services. The budget includes a description of, and a budgeted amount for, particular categories of non-audit services that are recurring in nature, and therefore anticipated at the time the budget is submitted. Audit Committee approval is required to exceed the budget amount for a particular category of non-audit services, and to engage the independent auditor for any non-audit services not included in the budget. For both types of pre-approval, the Audit Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules on auditor independence.
