TABLE OF CONTENTS
Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of
Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.
On February 27, 2007, our compensation committee recommended and our board of directors
adopted the 2007 Executive Management Compensation Plan for our executive officers for fiscal year
2007. Under this plan, we must achieve greater than fifty percent of our adjusted operating profit
goal for 2007 before executive officers (other than the SVP eStara) become eligible to receive any
portion of an annual bonus based on their individual bonus goals. In addition, our SVP Sales and
SVP Services are eligible to receive quarterly bonuses based on metrics set forth in their plans,
irrespective of our adjusted operating profit goal. For each category of the SVP eStara’s bonus,
seventy percent of the applicable element (MBOs and the revenue and adjusted operating profit goals
of the Company’s subsidiary, eStara, Inc.) must be achieved before any bonus will be paid for such
category. The target payouts in the plan are based on achieving a certain percentage of our goals
for each of the listed performance metrics. Each of these corporate metrics has a minimum and
maximum threshold. If the goals are exceeded, our executive officers are eligible to receive a cash
bonus in excess of the target payouts. The above description of the plan is qualified in its
entirety by the plan summary, which is filed as exhibit 99.01 to this current report and
incorporated herein by reference.
