(1) All bonuses paid to executives of the Company with respect to 2008 were based on the degree of achievement of individual and corporate performance goals for 2008. Individual performance goals accounted for 25% of each executive's target bonus, and corporate performance goals accounted for 75% of each executive's target bonus. The corporate performance goals were based on the Company's earnings per share in 2008. In assessing the degree of achievement of the Company's target earnings per share, the Compensation Committee took into consideration the substantial downturn in one of the Company's principal markets, which the Committee determined was extraordinary and outside the scope of executive influence, and decided to award bonuses based on a revised earnings per share target that excluded any earnings attributable to that market. The Compensation Committee determined that 65% of bonuses based on corporate performance goals would be paid based on the achievement of 83% of the revised earnings per share target. Under the Company's bonus plan, individual performance goals (other than those of the President) are determined jointly by the President and each executive at the beginning of each year. The President's individual performance goals are determined jointly by the President and the Compensation Committee.

The Compensation Committee also approved a formula for calculating 2009 cash bonuses that will be payable in 2010. Under the formula, 75% of each executive's bonus for 2009 will be based on corporate performance goals and 25% of the bonus will be based on individual performance goals. The portion of the bonus plan based on achieving corporate performance goals uses a sliding scale to determine bonus amounts based on the Company's progress against business strategy in 2009 taking into account the economic environment. The Committee has established a target bonus for each executive, ranging from 35% of annual base salary to 75% of annual base salary, and the portion of these bonuses attributable to corporate performance goals will be payable by the Compensation Committee in its sole discretion.

(3) The Restricted Stock awards were made on the following terms: (a) the grantee will receive the Restricted Stock without payment of cash consideration;
(b) 50% of the Restricted Stock grant will vest annually in four equal installments, the first of which will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date; (c) 25% of the Restricted Stock grant will vest annually in four equal installments, the first of which will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date contingent upon achieving two specific mini-VSAT sales objectives in 2009 and (d) 25% of the Restricted Stock grant will vest annually in four equal installments, the first of which will vest on the first anniversary of the grant date contingent upon achieving certain fiber optic gyro production output targets in 2009.
