Directors are elected until their successors are duly elected
and qualified.
Director Qualifications
Directors are responsible for overseeing the Companys business
consistent with their fiduciary duty to shareholders. This significant
responsibility requires highly-skilled individuals with various qualities,
attributes and professional experience. The Board believes that there are
general requirements for service on the Companys Board of Directors that are
applicable to all directors and that there are other skills and experience that
should be represented on the Board as a whole but not necessarily by each
director. The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the
Board consider the qualifications of directors and director candidates
individually and in the broader context of the Boards overall composition and
the Companys current and future needs.
Qualifications for All Directors
In identifying and evaluating nominees, the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee may consult with the other Board members,
management, consultants, and other individuals likely to possess an
understanding of the Companys business and knowledge of suitable candidates. In
making its recommendations, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
assesses the requisite skills and qualifications of nominees and the composition
of the Board as a whole in the context of the Board's criteria and needs. In
evaluating the suitability of individual Board members, the Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee may take into account many factors, including
general understanding of marketing, finance and other disciplines relevant to
the success of a publicly traded company in todays business environment;
understanding of the Companys business and technology; the international nature
of the Companys operations; educational and professional background; and
personal accomplishment. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
evaluates each individual in the context of the Board as a whole, with the
objective of recommending a group that can best perpetuate the success of the
Companys business and represent stockholder interests through the exercise of
sound judgment, using its diversity of experience. The Nominating and Corporate
Governance Committee also ensures that a majority of nominees would be independent directors as
defined under the applicable rules of the SEC and The NASDAQ Stock Market
LLC.
3
Qualifications, Attributes, Skills and Experience to be
Represented on the Board as a Whole
In its assessment of each potential candidate, including those
recommended by stockholders, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
considers the nominees judgment, integrity, experience, independence,
understanding of the Companys business or other related industries and such
other factors the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee determines are
pertinent in light of the current needs of the Board. The Nominating and
Corporate Governance Committee also takes into account the ability of a Director
to devote the time and effort necessary to fulfill his or her responsibilities
to the Company.
The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
require that each Director be a recognized person of high integrity with a
proven record of success in his or her field. Each Director must demonstrate
innovative thinking, familiarity with and respect for corporate governance
requirements and practices, an appreciation of multiple cultures and a
commitment to sustainability and to dealing responsibly with social issues. In
addition to the qualifications required of all Directors, the Board assesses
intangible qualities including the individuals ability to ask difficult
questions and, simultaneously, to work collegially.
The Board has identified particular qualifications, attributes,
skills and experience that are important to be represented on the Board as a
whole, in light of the Companys current needs and business priorities. The
Companys services are performed in various countries and in significant areas
of future growth located outside of the United States. Accordingly, the Board
believes that international experience or specific knowledge of key geographic
growth areas and diversity of professional experiences should be represented on
the Board. In addition, the Companys business is multifaceted and involves
complex financial transactions. Therefore, the Board believes that the Board
should include some Directors with a high level of financial literacy and some
Directors who possess relevant business experience as a Chief Executive Officer
or President. Our business involves complex technologies in a highly specialized
industry. Therefore, the Board believes that extensive knowledge of the
Companys business and industry should be represented on the Board.
The Board and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee
do not have a specific diversity policy, but consider diversity of race,
ethnicity, gender, age, cultural background and professional experiences in
evaluating candidates for Board membership. Diversity is important because a
variety of points of view contribute to a more effective decision-making
process.

failure. An executive may terminate his employment upon one months written
notice if there is a material reduction in his authority, duties and
responsibilities or if there is a material reduction in his annual salary before
the next annual salary review. Furthermore, we may terminate the executives
employment at any time without cause by giving one months advance written
notice to the executive officer. If we terminate the executives employment
without cause, the executive will be entitled to a termination payment of up to
three months of his or her then base salary, depending on the length of such

first anniversary of the effective date of the employment agreement; (ii) two
months following a termination effective prior to the second anniversary of the
effective date; and (iii) three months following a termination effective prior
to or any time after the third anniversary of the effective date. The employment
agreements provide that the executive will not participate in any severance
plan, policy, or program of the Company.
Our standard employment agreement contains customary
non-competition, confidentiality, and non-disclosure covenants. Each executive
officer has agreed to hold, both during and after the employment agreement
expires or is earlier terminated, in strict confidence and not to use, except as
required in the performance of his duties in connection with the employment, any
confidential information, technical data, trade secrets and know-how of our
company or the confidential information of any third party, including our
affiliated entities and our subsidiaries, received by us. The executive officers
have also agreed to disclose in confidence to us all inventions, designs and
trade secrets which they conceive, develop or reduce to practice and to assign
all right, title and interest in them to us. In addition, each executive officer
has agreed to be bound by non-competition restrictions set forth in his or her
employment agreement. Specifically, each executive officer has agreed not to,
while employed by us and for a period of one year following the termination or
expiration of the employment agreement,
- approach our clients, customers or contacts or other persons or entities,
and not to interfere with the business relationship between us and such
persons and/or entities;
- assume employment with or provide services as a director for any of our
competitors, or engage in any business which is in direct or indirect
competition with our business; or
- solicit the services of any of our employees.
Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End 2014
There were no equity awards outstanding as of September 30,
2014 that were granted to our named executive officers. Our Chief Executive
Officer, Mr. Li was granted an option to purchase 216,000 shares of our common
stock on May 29, 2008 under the Stock Option Plan. The option is subject to a
three-year vesting schedule, with the first 1/12 vesting on the last day of the
full fiscal quarter following the date of grant (September 30, 2008), and the
remaining 11/12 vesting in eleven equal installments on the last day of each
following fiscal quarter. The exercise price is $20.9. The option expired on May
28, 2013. Mr. Li was also granted 100,000 restricted shares of the Companys
common stock, par value $0.001, under the Stock Option Plan. The restricted stock is subject to a
five-year vesting schedule. All of the restricted stock has been vested in
twenty equal quarterly installments on the first day of each fiscal quarter
beginning on October 1, 2009.

Compensation of Directors
Under our Compensation Plan for Non-Employee Directors, or the
Directors Plan, each eligible non-employee director of the Company may receive
an annual retainer fee. Pursuant to the Directors Plan, the annual retainer fee
under the Directors Plan is subject to adjustments determined by our Board from
time to time. Each independent director is also eligible to be granted 5,000
restricted shares of our common stock for serving as a director.
In December 2010, our Board of Directors unanimously approved a
change in the annual retainer fee for independent directors in accordance with
the Directors Plan. Effective January 1, 2011, our independent directors will be
paid an annual retainer fee of $45,000. As was previously our policy, the chair
of the Audit Committee will continue to receive an additional $5,000 in
recognition of the added responsibility of this position. In connection with
this change, the Board unanimously determined that the independent directors
will no longer receive an annual issuance of restricted shares under the
Directors Plan. Each of the independent directors has waived all rights to such
annual issuances, including with respect to 2,500 of the shares that were to be
issued to each of the independent directors during calendar year 2011 in
connection with their grants on July 1, 2010.
Effective October 1, 2012, each of our independent directors
will be paid an annual retainer fee of $61,000. The chair of the Audit Committee
will receive an additional $9,000 in recognition of the added responsibility of
this position.
In June 2013, due to the financial situation of the Company,
each of the independent directors agreed to reduce their annual retainer fee to
$20,000, effective from the quarter ended June 30, 2013.
The following table sets forth the total compensation earned by
our non-employee directors during our fiscal year ended September 30, 2014:
