ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
Processes and Procedures for Determining Executive Compensation
Compensation Philosophy
Our compensation policies for executive officers are based on the belief that the interests of executives should be closely aligned with those of the our stockholders. The compensation policies are designed to achieve the following objectives:
· Offer compensation opportunities that attract highly qualified executives, reward outstanding initiative and achievement and retain the leadership and skills necessary to build long-term stockholder value.
· Maintain a significant portion of the executives’ total compensation at risk, tied to both the annual and long-term financial performance of the Company and the creation of stockholder value.
· Further our short and long-term strategic goals and values by aligning executive compensation with business objectives and individual performance.

Compensation Program
Our executive compensation program is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”). The Compensation Committee is comprised of Mr. Breland and Mr. McMullen, each of whom is independent according to rules of The Nasdaq Stock Market LLC. The Compensation Committee establishes and administers the Company’s executive compensation policies and plans and administers our stock option and other equity-related employee compensation plans. The Compensation Committee typically does not retain compensation consultants, but does consider internal and external information in determining officers’ compensation, including outside survey data.
Our executive compensation program has three major integrated components: base salary; cash bonuses; and long-term incentives.
Base Salary. Base salary levels for executive officers are determined annually by reviewing the competitive pay practices of networking companies of similar size and market capitalization, the skills, performance level and contribution to the business of individual executives and the needs of the Company. Overall, the Compensation Committee believes that base salaries for our executive officers are competitive with median base salary levels for similar positions in these networking companies.
Cash Incentive Compensation. Our executive officers are eligible to receive cash incentive awards designed to motivate them to attain short-term and longer-term corporate and individual management goals. The Compensation Committee establishes annual bonus opportunities for each executive officer in relation to his or her base salary. Bonuses under this program are based on our attainment of specific performance measures established by the Compensation Committee early in the fiscal year, by the achievement of specified individual objectives, and by the degree to which each executive officer contributes to our overall success and the management team. In 2009, the formula for the named executive officers’ bonuses was based on a combination of individual objectives and the Company’s revenue and profitability objectives. Because these performance targets were not obtained, no bonuses were awarded for 2009.
Long-Term Incentives. The Compensation Committee believes that stock options are an appropriate vehicle for compensating its officers and employees. We provide long-term incentives through our 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. The purpose of long-term stock options is to create a direct link between executive compensation and increases in stockholder value. When determining option awards for an executive officer, the Compensation Committee considers the executive’s current contribution to our performance, the anticipated contribution to meeting our long-term strategic performance goals and industry practices and norms. Long-term incentives granted in prior years and existing levels of stock ownership are also taken into consideration. Because the receipt of value by an executive officer under a stock option is dependent upon an increase in the price of our common stock (“Common Stock”), this portion of the executive’s compensation is directly aligned with an increase in stockholder value.
Chief Executive Officer Compensation
The Chief Executive Officer’s base salary, cash incentive awards and long-term incentive compensation are determined by the Compensation Committee, and are based upon the same factors that are employed by the Compensation Committee for executive officers generally. Mr. Nguyen’s base salary for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 was $285,000. The Chief Executive Officer may also be entitled to an annual cash bonus depending on our performance. No bonuses were awarded in 2009 and 2008. The Compensation Committee, in its sole discretion, determines the amount of any such cash bonus. Mr. Nguyen has an employment agreement with the Company that is described below under the heading “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control”.

Table of Contents
Deductibility of Executive Compensation
Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), limits the tax deduction to $1,000,000 for compensation paid to certain executives of public companies. This limitation does not apply to compensation that constitutes “qualified performance-based compensation” within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In any case, the historical combined salary and bonus of each executive officer of the Company has been below the $1,000,000 limit. The Compensation Committee’s present intention is to structure executive compensation to minimize the application of the deduction limitation of Section 162(m) of the Code unless the Compensation Committee feels the necessary changes in our executive compensation program needed to accomplish this objective would not be in the best interest of the Company or its stockholders.
Summary Compensation Table — 2009
The following table sets forth, for the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, the total compensation of our Principal Executive Officer and former Principal Financial Officer (the “Named Executive Officers”).

(1) Mr. Hackett joined the Company on October 6, 2008, and resigned in February 2010.

The assumptions used for calculating the grant date fair value are set forth in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in the Original Report. The actual amount that will be realized, if any, upon the exercise of an option will depend upon the extent to which the market price of the Common Stock exceeds the option exercise price at the time the option is exercised. The exercise price of these awards is the market closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date.
(3) All other compensation for each individual was below $10,000, except for Mr. Nguyen for whom the Company paid life insurance premiums.

Eligible employees are permitted to contribute to the 401(k) Plan through payroll deductions within statutory and plan limits. Company contributions are made at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Beginning in 1997, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to match a portion of its employees’ contributions to the 401(k) Plan, and, in fiscal years 1997 through 2009, we made a matching contribution of thirty percent (30%) of each employee’s contributions to the extent the employee’s contribution equaled five percent (5%) or more of such employee’s gross compensation.
Nonqualified Deferred Compensation — 2009
Deferred Compensation Plan. Effective March 31, 2006, we adopted the Ezenia Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Plan”). Under this Plan, eligible employees may elect to defer up to 100% of their base and incentive compensation into the Plan. We are under no obligation to establish a fund or reserve in order to pay the benefits under the Plan except in the event of a change in control. If funded, the plan Trustee makes all investment decisions for the Trust on behalf of the participants. We have not guaranteed a return on investment for the participants, however, all earnings and losses on the Plan assets are borne by the participants.

Potential Payments upon Termination or Change-in-Control
In 2007, we entered into a new employment agreement with Mr. Nguyen. Under the employment agreement, Mr. Nguyen is entitled to a base salary at an annual rate to be established by the Board of Directors and is eligible to receive additional cash compensation under our annual incentive plan based upon specific financial and/or other targets as approved by the Compensation Committee. Mr. Nguyen is also eligible to participate in the employee benefit plans and executive compensation programs maintained by the Company applicable to other key executives of the Company. In addition, we have agreed to procure life insurance coverage on behalf of Mr. Nguyen in the amount of $1.75 million.
In the event that Mr. Nguyen’s employment is terminated without cause (as defined in the employment agreement) or Mr. Nguyen resigns on account of a change of status (as defined in the employment agreement), Mr. Nguyen is entitled to receive an amount equal to two times (1) the highest annual salary in effect for him during the 12-month period immediately preceding the date of termination and (2) his current targeted annual incentive bonus (as defined in the employment agreement) (or, if no annual incentive bonus is then in effect, then the highest annual incentive bonus or other aggregate bonus(es) actually paid to Mr. Nguyen in any of the three preceding fiscal years of the Company). In addition, all options and restricted stock awards held by Mr. Nguyen under the Company’s stock option plans shall become fully vested and exercisable. Mr. Nguyen and his spouse are also entitled to be covered under the Company’s medical insurance plans for their lives.

In the event that Mr. Nguyen’s employment with the Company terminates due to his death prior to termination without cause or due to a change of status, Mr. Nguyen’s spouse or beneficiaries are entitled to receive a lump sum payment equal to what Mr. Nguyen would have received if his employment had been terminated without cause as described above.
If we terminate Mr. Nguyen’s employment other than for cause either in anticipation of or as required to accomplish a change of control (as defined in the employment agreement) or within 24 months after a change of control, or Mr. Nguyen resigns on account of a change in status within 24 months of a change of control, Mr. Nguyen is entitled to receive a severance payment equal to four times the sum of (1) Mr. Nguyen’s base compensation for our fiscal year then in effect or if greater, Mr. Nguyen’s base compensation for our fiscal year immediately preceding the year in which such termination occurs, plus (2) Mr. Nguyen’s annual target incentive bonus for the fiscal year then in effect (or, if no target incentive bonus is in effect for such year, then the highest annual incentive bonus or other aggregate bonus(es) actually paid to Mr. Nguyen in any of the three preceding fiscal years). Effective upon a change of control, all options and restricted stock awards held by Mr. Nguyen under any of our stock option plans shall become exercisable and vested in full. Mr. Nguyen and his spouse are also entitled to be covered under our medical insurance plans for their lives. In addition, Mr. Nguyen is entitled to receive a tax gross-up payment from the Company to cover any excise taxes imposed by Section 280G of the Code.
In addition, the Company has entered into severance agreements with Mr. McCann and certain members of senior management. If the individual’s employment is terminated by the Company without “cause”, or the individual terminates his employment for “good reason”, then the individual will be entitled to receive salary continuation for six months, as well as the right to participate in the Company’s health, dental and vision programs during such six-month period. However, if the individual commences any employment or self-employment prior to the completion of such six-month period, such salary continuation and other benefits will cease.

(1) We pay each non-employee director a fee of $3,000 per meeting of the Board of Directors attended in person or $500 for each meeting attended remotely. We also pay each non-employee director $500 for each meeting of the Audit Committee, Compensation Committee, and Nominating Committee attended by such director.
(2) Initially, each non-employee director who joins the Board of Directors receives an option to purchase 35,000 shares of Common Stock. In fiscal year 2009, Mr. Stevens received an option to purchase 35,000 shares at a price of $0.17 per share.

2009. Each of these options becomes exercisable over a four-year period with 25% of the shares underlying such options vesting each year. Such option grants have a term of ten years.
(3) These amounts represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the option awards in the year in which the grant was made. The assumptions used for calculating the grant date fair value are set forth in Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements included in the Original Report. The exercise price of these options is based upon the closing price of the Common Stock on the grant date. The actual amount that will be realized, if any, upon an exercise of an option will depend upon the extent to which the market price of the Common Stock exceeds the option exercise price at the time the option is exercised.
