Narrative Disclosure to Summary Compensation Table
Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
The Compensation Committees executive compensation objectives are to attract and retain highly qualified individuals with a demonstrated record of achievement; reward past performance; provide incentives for future performance; and align the interests of the named executive officers with the interests of the stockholders. In order to accomplish this we offer a competitive total compensation package that consists of base salary; annual non-equity incentive compensation opportunities; long-term incentives in the form of equity awards; and employee benefits.
6
The Compensation Committee believes that compensation for the named executive officers should be based on our performance. Therefore, for current officers the Compensation Committee has developed variable compensation packages based largely on Company financial performance. The Compensation Committee also considers our industry and geographic location norms in determining the various elements and amounts of compensation for our named executive officers.
Elements of Executive Compensation
The Compensation Committee establishes a total targeted cash compensation amount for each named executive officer, which includes base salary and non-equity incentive compensation. This is intended to incentivize named executive officers to achieve the targeted financial results for our business and to compensate them appropriately if they successfully achieved such performance. The elements of our executive compensation program are designed to deliver both year-to-year and long-term stockholder value increases. A portion of the executives compensation is at-risk, and equity-based compensation includes a mix of incentives that vest subject to time or a combination of Company performance and time, tying the executive to both our short-term and long-term success.
The Compensation Committee also considers each named executive officers current salary and prior-year incentive compensation along with the appropriate balance between long-term and short-term incentives.
Our executive compensation program consists of the following annual elements:
Element |
Description | |
Base Salary | Fixed annual cash amount to attract and retain top talent | |
Annual Cash Bonus | At-risk variable incentive compensation to reward for achievement of goals set by the Board | |
Long-Term Incentive Awards | Equity-based compensation that supports retention, incentivizes performance and promotes stockholder alignment | |
Select Benefits and Perquisites | Benefits such as health insurance, 401(k) and automobile allowances to remain competitive in our industry |
Key Compensation Governance Attributes
The following are best practices of our executive compensation program:
What We Do |
What We Dont Do | |
✓ Consult an independent compensation consultant | × No tax gross-up provisions | |
✓ Conduct an annual risk assessment of our pay practices | × No guaranteed salary increases or bonuses

✓ Use a double-trigger for accelerated equity vesting upon a change in control for current named executive officers
✓ Clawback policy for executive officers
✓ Stock ownership guidelines for executive officers and non-employee directors |
× No severance multipliers in excess of 2x pay
× No hedging or pledging of Company stock
× No option repricing without stockholder approval, or option backdating |
7
How We Determine NEO Compensation
Role of the Compensation Committee. All compensation for our named executive officers is reviewed and recommended to the Board by the Compensation Committee, which is composed only of independent directors. The Compensation Committee is responsible for reviewing the performance and establishing the total compensation of our named executive officers on an annual basis. The Compensation Committee discusses compensation matters as part of regularly scheduled meetings.
Role of our CEO. Our Chief Executive Officer annually makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding base salary, non-equity incentive plan compensation and equity awards for himself and the other named executive officers. Such recommendations are considered by the Compensation Committee; however, the Compensation Committee retains full discretion and authority over the final compensation decisions for the named executive officers, subject to approval by the Board.
Role of our Independent Compensation Consultant. The Compensation Committee has the authority to engage independent compensation consultants. The Compensation Committee has in the past, and may in the future, directly commission compensation studies from such consultants to provide benchmark and other data to be used by the Compensation Committee in determining the compensation and benefits for the named executive officers.
During 2018, the Compensation Committee engaged Pearl Meyer & Partners (Pearl Meyer), an independent compensation consultant, for general executive compensation support. In preparation for 2018 executive compensation determinations, Pearl Meyer updated the group of peer companies used to benchmark executive compensation and identify market pay practices. Pearl Meyer developed the peer group so that the group, in aggregate, reflected the Companys industry, size (revenue and market capitalization) and operating profile (margins and employee base). Pearl Meyer also assisted with benchmarking non-employee director compensation, planning for our stock pool refresh proposal, and developing and enhancing our proxy disclosures.

Narrative to Director Compensation Table
Compensation of directors is determined by the Board in conjunction with recommendations made by the Compensation Committee. The Board has approved a compensation structure for non-employee directors consisting of a cash retainer, an annual equity award and an additional cash retainer for Board members serving on a committee. Employee directors are not compensated for their services as directors.
9
For fiscal 2018, annual cash compensation for non-employee directors was $35,000 and $65,000 for the chairman of the board. Additional retainers for each non-employee director who served on one or more board committees in 2018 were as follows:
Member | Chair | |||||||
Audit Committee |
$ | 7,500 | $ | 15,000 | ||||
Compensation Committee |
$ | 5,000 | $ | 10,000 | ||||
Nominating and Governance Committee |
$ | 2,500 | $ | 5,000 |
Directors can elect to receive their quarterly board compensation in cash, or in the form of (i) restricted stock based on the cash equivalent of the closing price of the Companys common stock on the last trading day of each quarter, or (ii) stock options, with an exercise price based on the closing price of the Companys common stock on the last trading day of each quarter. The number of shares subject to such stock options is determined based on a Black-Scholes valuation.
Such restricted stock is fully vested and such stock options are fully exercisable at the time of grant. For 2018, all directors elected to receive their compensation in the form of stock options.
In November 2018, the Company updated the equity compensation components of its non-employee director compensation program. Newly appointed non-employee directors receive a one-time initial award of stock options to purchase 40,000 shares of our common stock, which vest in four equal quarterly installments through the first anniversary of the date of grant. Continuing directors receive an annual award of stock options to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock, which also vest in four equal quarterly installments through the first anniversary of the date of grant.

Employment Agreements and Severance and Change in Control Agreements
Mr. Michael Klein
On November 19, 2018 the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Klein to serve as Executive Chairman and Interim CEO of the Company for a term of two years ending on the earlier termination of the agreement or December 31, 2020. On December 12, 2018, the Company amended the employment agreement to change his title from Interim Chief Executive Officer to Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Kleins compensation consists of an annual base salary of $150,000, a target annual incentive bonus of 50% of his base salary if the Company achieves goals and objectives determined by the Compensation Committee.
11
Mr. Klein is also entitled to customary benefits, including participation in employee benefit plans as well as a monthly automobile allowance. Mr. Kleins employment agreement provides that if his employment is terminated without cause or if he terminates his employment for good reason (as such terms are defined in Mr. Kleins employment agreement), in each case while he serves as CEO, then: (i) he will continue to receive an amount equal to his base salary for the 12 month periods from the date of his termination; (ii) he will receive the pro rata portion of any incentive bonus, if any, earned for the fiscal year of his termination; and (iii) he will receive reimbursement of monthly premiums for continued health benefits for 18 months. If the aggregate amount of payments under (i) and (ii) are less than $250,000, then Mr. Klein shall be entitled to $250,000.
In the event that within 12 months of a change in control, if Mr. Kleins employment is terminated by the Company without cause or he terminates his employment for good reason, in each case while he serves as CEO, then (i) he will continue to receive an amount equal to his base salary for the period of 24 months from the date of his termination; (ii) he will receive the pro rata portion of any incentive bonus, if any, earned for the fiscal year of his termination, and (iii) all unvested stock options and other equity awards granted by the Company shall immediately vest and become exercisable and shall remain exercisable for not less than 180 days thereafter.
Ms. Stacey Stevens
On June 25, 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with Ms. Stevens, which provides for her employment for an initial term through December 31, 2011, with automatic one-year renewals thereafter subject to certain conditions. Ms. Stevens is also entitled to customary benefits, including participation in employee benefit plans as well as a monthly automobile allowance. Ms. Stevens employment agreement also provides for her eligibility to receive, during each year of her employment under the agreement, a target annual incentive bonus of 40% of her base salary if the Company achieves certain goals and objectives determined by the Board.
Ms. Stevens employment agreement provides that if her employment is terminated without cause, (i) she will continue to receive an amount equal to her base salary for the period of 12 months from the date of her termination, (ii) she will receive the pro rata portion of any incentive bonus, if any, earned for the fiscal year of her termination, and (iii) she will receive continued health benefits for 12 months.
On December 22, 2016, we amended Ms. Stevens employment agreement to provide that if she is terminated without cause within three months of a change in control, then (i) she will continue to receive an amount equal to her base salary for 18 months from the date of her termination, (ii) she will receive the pro rata portion of any incentive bonus, if any, earned for the fiscal year of her termination, and (iii) all unvested stock options and other equity awards granted by the Company shall immediately vest and become exercisable and shall remain exercisable for not less than 180 days thereafter.
On March 12, 2019, the Companys Board elected Ms. Stevens to serve as President. In connection with Ms. Stevens election to President, the Board approved (i) an annual base salary increase to $323,000 from $305,000, and (ii) an increase in target bonus to 45% of annual base salary, from 40% of annual base salary.
12
In October 2015, the Company and Ms. Stevens entered into a Change of Control Bonus Agreement (the Bonus Agreement). The Bonus Agreement provides that upon a change of control of the Company, Ms. Stevens will be entitled to a cash bonus. A change of control is defined to mean a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the acquisition of more than 50% of the outstanding equity or ownership interests by any one person or group of persons. The amount of the bonus will be based upon the product of (i) the number of shares of the Companys outstanding equity interest as of the closing of the transaction resulting in a change of control multiplied by (ii) the price of one such interest as of such closing as reported on the principal stock exchange on which such equity interests are traded. If such amount is greater than $100 million, but does not exceed $150 million, the Company will pay Ms. Stevens 0.50% of such amount. In the event such amount exceeds $150 million, the Company will pay Ms. Stevens 0.75% of such amount. The Bonus Agreement terminates upon the earliest of (i) payment of a change of control bonus, (ii) Ms. Stevens termination of employment prior to a change of control, or (c) by mutual agreement of the Company and Ms. Stevens. No benefits will be paid for such bonus if Ms. Stevens incurs a separation from service with the Company for any reason, subject to certain exceptions, at any time prior to a change of control.
The Bonus Agreement also amends the provisions of Ms. Stevens employment agreement related to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. It provides that the Company will pay Ms. Stevens the greater of (i) all of the payments and benefits payable under the Bonus Agreement and all other agreements between the Company and Ms. Stevens as a result of a change in ownership or control or (ii) one dollar less than the amount of such payments and benefits that would subject Ms. Stevens to the tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, whichever gives Ms. Stevens the highest net after-tax amount.
Mr. Kenneth Ferry, our Former Chief Executive Officer.
On November 8, 2018, Mr. Ferry retired from his position as Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer. Mr. Ferry and the Company entered into a Separation Agreement, pursuant to which Mr. Ferry will generally receive the payments that would have been payable had he been terminated by the Company without cause. The Company accrued $1,009,000 representing 24 months of severance and 18 months of health benefits as of November 2018 upon Mr. Ferrys agreeing to the Separation Agreement, which will be paid monthly beginning in May 2019.
On December 22, 2016, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Ferry, which provided for his employment as Chief Executive Officer for an initial term through December 31, 2018, with automatic one-year renewals thereafter subject to certain conditions. The agreement provided for an annual base salary of $455,000, which was increased to $470,000 in March 2018. The agreement also provided for his eligibility to receive, during each year of her employment under the agreement, a target annual incentive bonus of 55% of his base salary if the Company achieved goals and objectives determined by the Compensation Committee.
13
Mr. Ferry was also entitled to customary benefits, including participation in employee benefit plans as well as monthly automobile and housing allowances. Mr. Ferrys employment agreement provided that if his employment was terminated without cause or if he terminated his employment for good reason, then (i) he would continue to receive an amount equal to his base salary for the course of 24 months from the date of his termination; (ii) he would receive the pro rata portion of any incentive bonus, if any, earned for the fiscal year of his termination; and (iii) he would receive continued health benefits for 18 months.
In the event that within 12 months of a change in control, either (i) Mr. Ferry was terminated by the Company without cause or (ii) he terminated his agreement for good reason, then (i) he would continue to receive an amount equal to his base salary for the period of 24 months from the date of his termination, (ii) he would receive the pro rata portion of any incentive bonus, if any, earned for the fiscal year of his termination, and (iii) all unvested stock options and other equity awards granted by the Company would immediately vest and become exercisable and would remain exercisable for not less than 180 days thereafter.

Item 13. | Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence. |
Transactions with Related Persons
On December 20, 2018, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, pursuant to which it issued unsecured subordinated convertible debentures (the Debentures) to certain institutional and accredited investors of the Company, in an aggregate principal amount of approximately $6.5 million. Certain investors in the Debentures include directors and employees of the Company. These related parties purchased approximately 10% of the principal value of the Debentures, or approximately $670,000. The Debentures issued to the related parties have substantially the same rights and provisions as those issued to unrelated third party investors, with the exception of certain terms where the related parties received less favorable terms than the unrelated third parties (such as with determination of the make whole conversion rate, as defined in the SPA; or limits on the impact of potential down-round adjustments to the conversion price).
Review, Approval or Ratification of Transactions with Related Persons
We have adopted written policies and procedures for transactions with related persons. The charter of our Audit Committee (the Charter) requires that the Audit Committee review and approve or disapprove the entry by us into transactions, arrangements and relationships where the aggregate amount involved could reasonably be expected to exceed $120,000 in any calendar year and in which a related person has a direct or indirect interest. A related person is (i) any of our directors, nominees for director or executive officers, (ii) any immediate family member of any of our directors, nominees for director or executive officers, and (iii) any person, and his or her immediate family members, or entity, including affiliates, that was a beneficial owner of 5% or more of any of our outstanding equity securities at the time the transaction occurred or existed.
The Charter provides that the Audit Committee shall approve only those related person transactions that are determined to be in, or not inconsistent with, the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, taking into account all available facts and circumstances as the Audit Committee determines in good faith to be necessary in accordance with principles of Delaware law generally applicable to directors of a Delaware corporation. No member of the Audit Committee may participate in any review, consideration or approval of any related person transaction with respect to which the member or any of his or her immediate family members has an interest. In reviewing and approving such transactions, the Audit Committee obtains, or directs management to obtain on its behalf, all information that it believes to be relevant and
16
important to a review of the transaction prior to its approval. Following receipt of the necessary information, a discussion is held of the relevant factors if deemed to be necessary by the Audit Committee prior to approval. If a discussion is not deemed to be necessary, approval may be given by written consent of the Audit Committee. This approval authority may also be delegated to the chairperson of the Audit Committee in certain circumstances. No related person transaction may be entered into prior to the completion of these procedures.
Director Independence
The Board has determined all of its members meet the director independence requirements under the applicable listing rules of the Nasdaq and the rules and regulations of the SEC.

The Audit Committee Charter provides that one of the Audit Committees responsibilities is pre-approval of all audit, audit related, tax services and other services performed by our independent registered public accounting firm. Unless the specific service has been previously pre-approved with respect to that year, the Audit Committee must approve the permitted service before the Companys independent registered public accounting firm is engaged to perform it. The Audit Committee pre-approves proposed services and fee estimates for these services. The Audit Committee chairperson or his or her designee has been designated by the Audit Committee to pre-approve any services arising during the year that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Services pre-approved by the Audit Committee chairperson are communicated to the full Audit Committee at its next regular meeting and the Audit Committee reviews services and fees for the fiscal year at each such meeting. Pursuant to these procedures, the Audit Committee pre-approved all of the audit services provided by BDO to us during the fiscal years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017.
