The Note matures on October 1, 2010 and requires the Company to make interest payments on each of December 31, 2009, March 31, 2010, June 30, 2010 and at maturity.

The Agreement is effective May 1, 2009 and ends October 31, 2013 (the "Contract Term"). Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Yemin will continue to serve as the Company's President and Chief Executive Officer and receive a base monthly salary of $39,000 retroactive to January 1, 2009. He will be eligible to receive bonuses at the discretion of the Board of Directors (the "Board"). During his employment, he will also continue to receive the following perquisites: rent-free residence in a Company-owned home, the option to purchase the residence at the greater of the Company's cost or fair market value, the use of a Company-owned automobile, the cost of reasonable personal travel to Israel during each calendar year for himself, his spouse and each of his minor children (including roundtrip airfare and ground transportation and lodging for up to seven days), an education allowance of $1,000 per month for each of his minor children and the reasonable costs of professional preparation of his personal income tax return(s). Income taxes incurred by Mr. Yemin on residence and airfare benefits will continue to be grossed up and reimbursed to him at his marginal tax rate.


Under the terms of the Agreement, Mr. Yemin was granted 1,850,040 stock appreciation rights ("SARs") on September 30, 2009 under the Company's 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan as follows:

SARs will expire upon the earlier of the first anniversary of Mr. Yemin's termination of employment or October 31, 2014 (the first anniversary of the expiration of the Contract Term). In general, unvested SARs will expire immediately upon Mr. Yemin's termination of employment. The SARs may be settled in shares of Common Stock or cash at the Company's sole discretion. During the term of the SARs, the Company will also pay dividend equivalents in cash to Mr. Yemin on all shares subject to outstanding SARs.

Either party must provide at least one year of advance written notice of termination, however the Company may terminate employment for cause at any time. Mr. Yemin will be entitled to a severance payment equal to one month of his base salary if he is terminated for any reason other than for cause or if he terminates employment and provides the required advance written notice of termination.

On September 25, 2009, the Board also authorized a potential net share settlement of Mr. Yemin's 1,319,493 outstanding share purchase rights granted pursuant to his prior employment agreement. Upon the exercise by Mr. Yemin of any or all of his share purchase rights, the Company is authorized, at Mr. Yemin's election, to withhold shares having a fair market value (determined as the closing price per share on the date of exercise or, if no shares are traded on that day, the closing price on the next preceding day on which shares are traded) equal to the excess, if any, of (i) the sum of the exercise price and the Company's minimum statutory tax withholding obligation attributable to such exercise over (ii) the amount, if any, of the cash paid by Mr. Yemin in respect of such exercise.
