(e) On July 18, 2007, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Edward J. Fred, which agreement would have expired on December 31, 2007. Pursuant to the amended agreement, Mr. Fred will continue to be employed as the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer until December 31, 2010. Mr. Fred’s employment agreement provides that he will receive a base salary of (i) $283,150 from July 18, 2007 until December 31, 2007; (ii) $300,000 from January 1, 2008 until December 31, 2008; (iii) $318,000 from January 1, 2009 until December 31, 2009; and (iii) $337,000 from January 1, 2010 to December 31, 2010. For the years ending December 31, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010, Mr. Fred is eligible to receive an annual bonus based on changes in the Company’s revenues and earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) from the prior year. 25% of the bonus amount is determined by revenues and 75% by EBITDA. The manner in which the bonus is calculated has not changed from Mr. Fred’s prior employment agreement, as amended.
