Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers. |
On May 3, 2007, the Board of Directors confirmed Hans H. Olsen as the Company’s Chief Executive
Officer (“CEO”). Mr. Olsen has been serving as the Company’s interim CEO since January 1, 2007.
Along with this confirmation, Mr. Olsen was granted a restricted stock award (“RSA”) for
150,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a stock option award to acquire 300,000 shares
of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.42 per share, both of which vest in
equal monthly installments over three years. Vesting accelerates on both the RSA and stock
option on termination of Mr. Olsen without cause, or by Mr. Olsen for good reason, within three
years following an agreement on change in control of the Company, so the shares subject to the
RSA are immediately vested and the stock option is immediately exercisable. Termination for
“good reason” means if Mr. Olsen has seen his responsibilities, duties, position or
responsibilities reduced, his base salary reduced, his place of employment moved more than 50
miles, or if a successor does not assume the obligations of his RSA and stock option agreements.
