As of May 1, 1997, Robert V. Tarantino entered into an Employment Agreement with the Company. The Employment Agreement is scheduled to expire on April 30, 2002. If not terminated at that time it continues on a year to year basis until terminated by one of the parties. It provides for compensation of $252,000 subject to annual review by the Board of Directors. In addition Mr. Tarantino will receive a bonus based upon a formula which shall be reviewed and approved annually by the Board of Directors (See "Report of the Compensation and Stock Option Committee of the Board of Directors on Executive Compensation-Bonuses). The Employment Agreement may be terminated by the Company for cause and expires upon the death, or six months after the onset of the disability, of the executive. In the event of termination within a year of a change of control, Mr. Tarantino is entitled to damages for the breach of the Employment Agreement or, if greater, one year's base salary plus three months additional salary at the then current rate for each year of the Agreement in which the pre-tax operating profits shall have exceeded 110% of the greater of the prior year's actual pre-tax operating profit or a minimum base pre-tax operating profit. The Employment Agreement contains terms concerning confidentiality, assignment and disclosure of inventions and post-employment restrictions on competition. Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation. The Securities and Exchange Commission rules regarding disclosure of executive compensation require proxy statement disclosure of specified information regarding certain relationships of members of the Company's Board of Directors with the Company or certain other entities. None of the members of the Corporation's Board of Directors has a relationship requiring such disclosure. REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION AND STOCK OPTION COMMITTEE OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION The Company's compensation policies applicable to its executive officers are administered by the Compensation and Stock Option Committee (the "Committee") of the Board of Directors. All members of the Committee are non-employee directors. These policies are designed to enhance the overall strength and financial performance of the Company by aligning the financial interests of the Company's executive officers with those of its stockholders. The three primary components of executive compensation are base salaries, bonuses and stock option grants. The Committee determines the base salary, bonus amount and stock option grants for the President and Chief Executive Officer. The Committee reviews and gives final approval to the President and Chief Executive Officer's recommendations for base salaries, bonus and stock option grants for all other executives. Base Salary The Committee considered the financial performance of the Company, reviewed a survey of executive salaries for computer and computer products companies (compiled by the American Electronics Association) and determined the base salary for the President and Chief Executive Officer, Robert V. Tarantino. Base salaries for other executive officers for the fiscal year ended April 30, 1997 were determined by the President and Chief Executive Officer. Bonuses The Committee reviewed and gave final approval for a bonus plan for the President and Chief Executive Officer and for other executive officers. This bonus plan, similar to plans adopted in prior years, is based on a distribution of a percentage (approximately 6% this year) of pre-tax operating profits based on meeting or exceeding stated objectives. 8 Stock Option Plan The value to each executive officer of stock option grants is tied directly to stock price performance. The Committee grants options under the stockholder approved option plan at an exercise price equal to the market price of the Common Stock at the date of grant. If there is no appreciation in the market price for the Company's Common Stock, the options are valueless. Grants are made to executive officers based on salary, responsibility and performance of the individual officer. The Committee believes that options are important to better align the financial interests of executive officers with those of shareholders in general. Each option granted was a ten year option with a deferred vesting provision for four or five years. Compensation and Stock Option Committee Richard Holzman Thomas A. Majewski Roger C.
