Pursuant to the 2006 Plan, the executive officers of the Company are eligible to receive bonus awards in an amount equal to a specified percentage of his or her annual base salary upon the achievement of certain performance targets.

Approval of Adjoined Consulting LLC Incentive Compensation Plan
On March 14, 2006, the independent directors of the Board of Directors of the Company approved the Adjoined Consulting LLC Incentive Compensation Plan (the “Adjoined Plan”). Pursuant to the Adjoined Plan, certain executives and management employees of Adjoined Consulting LLC, a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, are eligible to receive specified annual bonus awards based upon their continued employment for various terms ranging from one year to three years and the achievement of certain performance targets to be established annually by the Company’s Compensation Committee or its independent directors. The 2006 performance targets include the achievement of certain net profit, related and non-related third party revenue and retention objectives by the Company. The foregoing description of the Adjoined Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Adjoined Plan, attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2 and incorporated by reference herein.
Severance Agreements
On March 15, 2006, the Company entered into severance agreements (the “Severance Agreements”) with Kenneth Coppins, Executive Vice President - World Class Solutions, and Larry Gordon, Executive Vice President - Global Sales and Marketing. Pursuant to the terms of the Severance Agreements, when the termination of employment occurs in connection with a “change in control” (as defined in the Severance Agreements), each of these executives is entitled to severance benefits if the executive voluntarily terminates his or her employment with “good reason” (as defined in the Severance Agreements) within 12 months after the change in control. These executives are also entitled to severance benefits if the Company terminates the executive’s employment without “cause” (as defined in the Severance Agreements), whether or not a change of control has occurred. The severance benefits include cash payments and immediate vesting of all stock options granted under our stock incentive plan. The cash payments consist of the continued payment of the executive’s base salary for a period of six months. In the case of Mr. Coppins’ Severance Agreement, the next installment of his restricted stock immediately vests, but all other unvested installments are forfeited.
The foregoing description of the Severance Agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the Severance Agreements, attached hereto as Exhibits 10.3 and 10.4 and incorporated by reference herein.
