Skantze, Don R. Graber, Lester L. Lyles and Kenneth A. Minihan. The members of the Nominations Committee are Don R. Graber, Lester L. Lyles and William E. MacDonald, III.

Audit Review Committee

We have an Audit Review Committee, which is a separately-designated standing committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), that was formed in 2002. The members of the Audit Review Committee are Lawrence A. Skantze, Don R. Graber, William E. MacDonald, III and Kenneth A. Minihan. The Board of Directors has determined that Directors Graber and MacDonald qualify as our “audit committee financial experts,” within the meaning of applicable Securities and Exchange Commission regulations, due to their business experience described above in this Amendment.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

Our Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics as its code of conduct that applies to our directors, officers (including our principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer) and employees. Our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics satisfies the definition of a “code of ethics” under Exchange Act rules and regulations and is available on the Company’s website at http://www.mtctechnologies.com at the Corporate Governance link under the heading “Investor Relations.”

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s directors and executive officers and persons who own more than ten percent of the Company’s Common Stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership on

 

4


Forms 3, 4 and 5 with the SEC. Directors, executive officers and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Forms 3, 4 and 5 they file. The Company periodically reminds its directors and executive officers of their reporting obligations and assists in making the required disclosure once the Company is notified that a reportable event has occurred. The Company is required to report in this Amendment any failure by any of the above-mentioned persons to make timely Section 16 reports.

Based solely on our review of copies of forms that the Company has received, and written representations from the Company’s directors and executive officers, we are unaware of any instances of noncompliance, or late compliance, with Section 16(a) filing requirements by our directors, executive officers or greater than ten percent stockholders during 2007.

 

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Objectives of Our Compensation Program

We have established strategic objectives for our compensation program:

 

   

to retain and recruit key executive talent;

 

   

to provide our executives with strong incentives to focus on and achieve our business objectives by allocating a portion of the executive’s cash compensation in the form of annual incentive awards;

 

   

to reward executives and other key employees for managing from the perspective of equity holders by providing certain compensation in the form of stock options; and

 

   

to recognize superior results with superior monetary rewards, while also tailoring compensation to directly reflect any results that are below expectations.

These objectives further the overall goal of our executive officers to continue and improve growth of our revenue and profit. As such, our compensation is established to provide an incentive for executive officers to achieve financial and personal goals established at the beginning of each year.

Our Processes and Procedures

The Compensation Committee, which is composed entirely of independent directors, is responsible for and administers the compensation program for our executive officers and certain other key employees. The Committee is responsible for establishing and maintaining senior officer-level salaries that are internally fair and equitable and that are externally comparable and reasonable in relation to similar positions in other companies of like size in our industry. The Committee also, among other things, approves all annual compensation for our senior officers and directors, all compensation plans covering our senior officers and directors and all grants under our long-term incentive plans, which consists of our 2002 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated February 25, 2004) and our 2007 Equity Compensation Plan. For our officers below the level of senior vice president, the Committee has delegated salary and bonus decision authority to the Chairman of the Board, but annually reviews those decisions. The Committee also evaluates the Chief Executive Officer and provides insight and guidance to management with respect to employee compensation generally. Mr. Soin, as our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, participated in the decisions as to salary and bonus recommendations for our executive officers that were provided to the Committee for 2007. The amount of compensation earned by and paid to our Chief Executive Officer, our Chief Financial Officer and the next three most highly compensated executive officers is described below in tabular format in the 2007 Summary Compensation Table and the other associated tables with related information. Due to SEC reporting requirements, we have also included in these tables the compensation for Mr. Gutridge, who was our Chief Executive Officer for a portion of 2007, as well as two other former executive officers, Mr. Longhouser and Mr. Clark, who served as officers for the Corporation during 2007, but were not in such positions at year end. We collectively refer to all of these individuals as our named executive officers.

To assist the Committee in evaluating and administering the compensation program, the Committee has from time to time retained Towers Perrin as an independent compensation consultant to review and evaluate our compensation practices. Typically, the Committee requests an analysis of our compensation program as it relates to those of our competitors. The Committee generally requests these analyses every two years, with the most recent being completed in late 2006. While the Committee uses such information for benchmarking purposes, it does not have a policy that its senior officers’ cash and other compensation target or fall within predetermined percentiles of the industry or publicly traded companies as a whole. For these purposes, Towers Perrin uses data from both general and industry-specific sources, including a review of the compensation programs at publicly-traded peer companies and data from proprietary compensation databases relating to companies with revenues approximating our forecasted revenues. With respect to the 2006 analysis, the competitive peer group chosen in consultation with Towers Perrin to be representative of the types of companies we compete with for executive talent was comprised of the following companies: Analex, Answerthink, CACI International, CIBER, Cognizant Technology Solutions, Covansys, Diamond Management & Technology, Dynamics Research, Intergraph, Keane, Man Tech International, Perot Systems, Sapient, SI International, SRA International, Stanley, Unisys and Vending Data. Towers Perrin’s analysis generally indicates that our cash compensation component, including base salary and annual incentive award, is competitive based on external market data within our industry, and generally at the median for other executives in our industry. Overall, total compensation, including equity-based compensation, is generally less than the median for other executives in our industry. This results from the Committee’s practice of giving greater weight to the cash component of the executives’ overall pay structure.

Elements of Compensation Program

We typically provide our executive officers with compensation consisting of four elements:

 

   

Cash compensation in the form of annual base salary;

 

   

Cash compensation in the form of annual incentive awards;

 

   

Long-term equity compensation in the form of stock options; and

 

   

Additional compensation in the form of health and welfare benefits and additional fringe benefits and perquisites.

As stated above, we generally allocate a greater percentage of an executive’s overall compensation to cash components, such as base salary and annual incentive awards, than other companies in our industry. Although the Committee does not use fixed proportionate amounts for each component, its overall philosophy is to allocate between 60% and 75% of an executive’s total potential cash compensation to base salary, with the balance in the form of an annual incentive award. During the past three years, equity compensation has been granted on a less frequent basis and is generally used to provide long-term incentives upon a particular officer’s initial election as an officer or a promotion to a more senior position. The Committee believes that the attraction and retention of talented executives and managers in our industry requires the allocation of a significant percentage of an executive’s compensation in the form of cash compensation, as a significant percentage of the senior executives in our industry come to industry as retired senior military officers who already have in place retirement compensation packages, including pensions and other long-term benefits.

 

1. Base Salary . We pay base salaries in order to attract senior executives and provide a basic level of financial security. The base salaries of the named executive officers are reviewed by the Committee annually as well as at the time of any promotion or significant change in job responsibilities. The Committee reviews peer group data provided by Towers Perrin as described above to establish a market-competitive executive base salary program, combined with a performance appraisal system that focuses on awards that are integrated with strategic corporate objectives.

Base salary is designed to promote our strategic objectives of retaining and attracting key executive level talent. The Committee believes a primary motivating factor for the named executive officers is their cash compensation in the form of their base salaries, and how such salaries compare to others in the market. Thus, initial base salaries are primarily established in accordance with market analyses, such as Towers Perrin reports and internal pay practice studies conducted by our human resources department.

 

6


Raises are typically given on annual basis, with standard raises being approximately three percent to four percent of base salary. Additional increases are given based on the executive’s performance in the prior year, increased or decreased responsibilities anticipated for the coming year and adjustments for competitive market reasons, all at the Committee’s discretion. With respect to Mr. Soin, who served as Chief Executive Officer during 2007, the Committee granted Mr. Soin options to purchase 78,124 shares of Common Stock in lieu of a base salary in order to provide a significant incentive to him to increase shareholder value of the Company. The options were granted to Mr. Soin on April 18, 2007 at the option price of $20.57 per share and vest in one-fourth increments on the first anniversary of the date of the grant and on each of the next three anniversaries of the date of grant. The options terminate on the ten-year anniversary of the date of the grant. In 2007, the Committee approved raises between zero percent and 14% of base salary for our other executive officers, with the higher amounts being given to equitably adjust certain executive’s base salaries closer to the market median. For 2008, the Committee has not reviewed or approved any raises for executive officers due to the anticipated consummation of the proposed merger with BAE Systems, Inc.

 

2. Annual Cash Incentive Awards : Since we have been publicly traded, the Committee has provided a portion of the named executive officers’ compensation in the form of annual cash incentive awards. The Committee’s objective in providing these annual cash incentive awards is to offer rewards for:

 

   

overall corporate financial performance measured by earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), with a target established at the beginning of each year;

 

   

for executives with operations responsibilities, financial performance of their operating group measured by net contribution margin and other profit metrics; and

 

   

achievement of annual personal goals and objectives established for each executive officer. These goals and objectives are established based on a consensus between the named executive officer and the Chief Executive Officer, and focus on our strategic goals and objectives for the current year, both in terms of financial performance and other growth and structural objectives. These goals primarily relate to the strategic and competitive advantage initiatives we believe must be accomplished to achieve our long-term growth goals.

Annual cash incentive award targets are established to provide the named executive officers with the potential to earn additional cash compensation in amounts that generally approximate the median for other executives in our industry. Annual cash incentive award targets for named executive officers in 2007 were Mr. Soin, 0% (although the Compensation Committee had the discretion to grant Mr. Soin additional equity awards based on his performance in 2007), Mr. Gutridge, 0% (his employment terminated in January 2007), Mr. Brown, 60%, Mr. Gearhardt, 50%, Mr. Longhouser, 42%, Mr. Clark, 50%, Mr. Cauldwell, 50%, and Mr. Catanzarita, 30% of their respective base salaries. These target percentages were selected, in part, based on prior year’s target amounts for our officers. As shown in the 2007 Summary Compensation Table, bonuses in 2007 for the named executive officers ranged from zero percent to 50% of the executive’s base salary. Although targets were established for the named executive officers, the payment and amount of bonuses for 2007 were at the discretion of the Committee. The targets were used as a guideline for the actual amount of the 2007 awards. These amounts were generally determined for corporate officers based on 50% of the bonus being allocated to corporate financial performance (amount of EBITDA achieved in comparison to the goal) and 50% of the bonus to achievement of personal goals. For named executive officers with operational responsibilities, 50% of the bonus was allocated to financial performance of the executive’s group (measured in terms of the group’s net contribution margin to the overall company), 25% was allocated to corporate financial performance and 25% to achievement of personal goals. We believe that providing greater weight to the financial performance of the company or the group, as the case may be, rewards the executive for performance closely aligned with our stockholders’ interests. At the conclusion of each year, the Committee reviews the level at which each goal was attained and approves bonus amounts consistent with the percentage of achievement. The Committee retains the discretion to increase or decrease any named executive officer’s bonus based on his personal and/or overall corporate performance for the year. Due to the proposed merger with BAE Systems, Inc., the Committee has made no determination as to percentage allocations for bonuses in 2008.

3. Incentive Stock Compensation . We use, although sparingly, the granting of stock options as the primary vehicle for providing long-term compensation opportunities to our senior officers, including the named executive officers. The stock options are designed to provide at-risk compensation that aligns management’s financial interests with those of our stockholders, encourages management ownership of our Common Stock, supports the achievement of corporate short and long-term financial objectives, and provides competitive equity reward opportunities. Based on analysis by Towers Perrin, we have granted equity compensation to our executive officers in the form of stock options rather than restricted stock or restricted stock units. We believe that stock options more closely align our executives’ compensation interests with the interests of stockholders as options granted have no value unless the market price of our Common Stock increases after the date of grant. Grants of stock options to purchase shares of our Common Stock at a per share exercise price are made at not less than 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date that the option is granted. In determining the number of stock options granted to an individual officer, the Committee takes into account that officer’s existing equity stake, the officer’s relative contribution to achievement of our strategic goals, the anticipated impact the officer will have on our long-term performance and the value of such options (based on certain existing assumptions as to stock price growth) on the date of grant versus the officer’s overall compensation.

We have not adopted any specific policy regarding the timing of any stock-based compensation. However, the Committee traditionally reviews stock option grant recommendations from the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer at its regularly scheduled February meeting. The grant date is established when the Committee approves the grant and all key terms are determined. From time-to-time, the Committee also grants stock options to coincide with new hires or promotions of senior officers and key employees. In 2007, the Committee granted an option to purchase 24,718 shares of Common Stock (the maximum number of options that could be granted to any one individual under our then-existing plan) to Mark N. Brown, our President and Chief Operating Officer, as the second of two grants in connection with his offer of employment made in August 2006. This grant was made to incentivize Mr. Brown to achieve superior operating results and to increase stockholder value for the long-term. The options vest in 20% increments each year for five years and expire after ten years. In 2007, the Committee also granted an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock to Mr. Catanzarita because of his significant contribution to the Company and to be consistent with equity-based incentive grants previously made to our other officers. These options vest, like prior stock option awards, in one-fifth increments over a five-year period and expire after ten years. Although all stock option grants remain at the discretion of the Committee, it has been our intent to limit the number of officers and key employees receiving grants of stock options and to provide additional incentives through cash bonuses with more defined metrics than used in the past. We do not currently anticipate making additional equity grants due to the anticipated consummation of the proposed merger with BAE Systems, Inc.

 

4. Health and Welfare Benefits . We provide healthcare, life and disability insurance and other employee benefits programs to our employees, including our named executive officers. We believe that these benefits, based on our own internal analysis, are competitive within our industry, and while not a separate incentive by themselves to attract or retain executive level talent, are an essential and expected part of any compensation program. The Committee is responsible for overseeing the administration of these programs. Our employee benefits programs are provided on a non-discriminatory basis to all employees. These benefits include: vacation and personal time; paid holidays; medical, dental, vision and long and short-term disability insurance programs; a 401(k) Master Savings Plan with company matching funds; and an education reimbursement program.

In addition, we have provided a car allowance and paid country club dues for some of the named executive officers, as shown in the 2007 Summary Compensation Table below. Car allowances are based on an executive’s employment level and range from $500 to $700 per month for the named executive officers. The Committee believes that the use of country clubs by named executive officers in the course of their employment is in our interest and will further our business purposes. The named executive officers are allowed personal use of country clubs and automobiles, which the Committee believes to be appropriate additional compensation in light of competitive standards and the performance of the named executive officers. The value of these benefits are reviewed by the Committee but are not considered as part of the overall compensation program for purposes of allocating among cash, equity and other compensation. We expect to offer these perquisites and personal benefits at least until the consummation of the proposed merger with BAE Systems, Inc.

 

8


Deferred Compensation Plan

As an additional benefit, in 2007, the Committee adopted the MTC Technologies, Inc. 2007 Deferred Compensation Plan, or the DC Plan, and has authorized 27 officers and other key employees, including Messrs. Brown, Gearhardt, Cauldwell and Catanzarita, to participate in the DC Plan. The DC Plan is an unfunded deferred compensation plan designed to provide an opportunity to defer compensation for our executive officers or other highly compensated employees. When selected to participate in the DC Plan, an employee may elect to defer a portion of his or her salary and/or bonus, known as compensation deferrals, in an amount not to exceed $75,000 annually. We will make matching contributions equal to an employee’s compensation deferrals, up to three percent of the employee’s compensation for the year. We may also make discretionary contributions to a participant’s account. In 2007, the Committee approved a discretionary contribution to the account of Mr. Brown, in lieu of a portion of his annual cash incentive award, because of Mr. Brown’s preference to defer a significant portion of his annual incentive payments as discussed with the Compensation Committee upon his employment. Contribution amounts maybe invested in various investment vehicles as selected by the participant. These investments are similar in nature to those offered in our 401(k) Master Savings Plan. A participant’s interest in matching contributions and discretionary contributions, and earnings on these amounts, vest after three and one half years of service with us. Deferred compensation benefits under the DC Plan will be payable upon termination of employment for any reason involving separation from service, as defined in Section 409(A) of the Internal Revenue Code. Benefit payments will be made in a single lump sum, or in annual installments. Payments, in any case, will be made in a single lump sum if the value of a participant’s account is $10,000 or less upon termination of employment for any reason. The Committee believes that the adoption and implementation of the DC Plan is an effective method as an additional benefit to attract and retain key management employees.

Employment Agreements

We do not typically enter into employment agreements with our named executive officers.

For 2007, we entered into an agreement with Mr. Gutridge, our former Chief Executive Officer, to serve as a consulting employee. Under Mr. Gutridge’s agreement, he will be employed as a consulting advisor through January 15, 2009 and will be paid during the term of the agreement an aggregate of $500,000 through bi-monthly and lump sum payments. He will also be entitled to receive benefits generally available to our employees. All payments due to Mr. Gutridge have been paid to him as of the date of this Amendment. His agreement also provides that his right to exercise stock options under our 2002 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated February 25, 2004) expired on December 31, 2007 with respect to options that were “in-the-money” as of January 16, 2007, and will expire on September 15, 2008 with respect to all other stock options. His agreement contains confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-disparagement provisions, and non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that extend for two years after any termination of the agreement. The agreement also contains a general release of claims against us and a covenant not to sue us.

On July 20, 2007, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Longhouser, our former President. Under Mr. Longhouser’s agreement, he was available to provide assistance and transition services through December 31, 2007 and paid, through bi-monthly payments, at an annual rate of $235,000. He was entitled to receive benefits generally otherwise available to our employees. His agreement also provides that his right to exercise stock options under our 2002 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated February 25, 2004) will expire on June 30, 2008. The agreement contains confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-disparagement provisions, and non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that extend for two years after December 31, 2007. The agreement also contains a general release of claims against us and a covenant not to sue us.

On September 25, 2007, we entered into a letter agreement with Mr. Clark. Under Mr. Clark’s agreement, he was available to provide assistance and transition services through March 15, 2008 and paid, through bi-monthly payments, at an annual rate of $210,000. He was entitled to receive benefits generally otherwise available to our employees. His agreement also provides that his right to exercise stock options under our 2002 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated February 25, 2004) will expire on September 14, 2008. The agreement contains confidentiality, non-disclosure, and non-disparagement provisions, and non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that extend for two years after March 15, 2008. The agreement also contains a general release of claims against us and a covenant not to sue us.

The agreements with Messrs. Gutridge, Longhouser and Clark will remain in place upon the anticipated consummation of the proposed merger with BAE Systems, Inc. However, there are no additional payments due under any of these agreements. Also, as required under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Merger with BAE Systems, Inc., all stock options held by these former officers will terminate on the day of closing.

In addition to the agreements described above, see “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for a description of benefits to which Mr. Gearhardt would be entitled in certain circumstances under his severance agreement.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

Executive officers and other key employees are encouraged to maintain an equity ownership in the company in order to align their interests with the stockholders’ interests. We do not have a policy requiring that officers and key employees have any specific amount of ownership of our stock. However, as indicated above, the Committee believes that its executives and other officers should be provided an incentive to achieve our long term strategic goals and objectives. These strategic goals and objectives are designed to increase total stockholder value. As such, the Committee annually reviews the entire compensation program and may allocate a portion of an officer’s compensation in the form of stock options.

Tax and Accounting Treatment

Our stock option grant policies have been impacted by implementation of SFAS No. 123R, which we adopted in the first quarter of fiscal year 2006. Under this accounting pronouncement, we are required to value unvested stock options granted prior to our adoption of SFAS No. 123R and any subsequent grants under the fair value method and expense those amounts in the income statement over the stock option’s remaining vesting period. We did not elect to accelerate the vesting of any outstanding stock options in connection with the implementation of SFAS No. 123R.

We have structured our compensation program to comply with Internal Revenue Code Sections 162(m) and 409A. Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, a limitation was placed on tax deductions of any publicly-held corporation for individual compensation to certain executives of such corporation exceeding $1,000,000 in any taxable year, unless the compensation is performance-based. If an executive is entitled to nonqualified deferred compensation benefits that are subject to Section 409A, and such benefits do not comply with Section 409A, then the benefits are taxable in the first year they are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture. In such case, the executive is subject to regular federal income tax, interest and an additional federal income of 20% of the benefit includible in income. We have no individuals with non-performance based compensation paid in excess of the Internal Revenue Code Section 162(m) tax deduction limit.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis with management. Based upon such review, the related discussions and such other matters deemed relevant and appropriate by the Compensation Committee, the Compensation Committee has recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K/A for the year ended December 31, 2007.

(1) The options awarded to Mr. Soin vest in equal installments to the extent of twenty-five percent (25%) on the first through the fourth anniversaries of the date of the grant. The options awarded to Mr. Brown vest in equal installments over a five-year period starting August 14, 2007 and on August 14 of each of the four succeeding years. The options awarded to Mr. Catanzarita vest in equal installments to the extent of twenty percent (20%) on the first through the fifth anniversaries of the date of the grant.
(2) Mr. Soin has elected to receive his annual Chairman of the Board retainer in the form of restricted share units. Restricted share units vest on the fifth anniversary of the date of grant if the director has remained a member of the Board during that five year period. Mr. Soin’s restricted share units vest as follows: 8,967 shares on April 20, 2009; 15,374 shares on April 20, 2010; 17,591 shares on April 19, 2011; and 21,876 shares on April 18, 2012. The restricted share units become immediately vested upon a change in control. The market value at December 31, 2007 for Mr. Soin’s unvested restricted share units was calculated using the closing stock price on December 31, 2007.
(3) The option expiration date was modified to reflect the employment agreements with Messrs. Clark and Longhouser, which are discussed in “Compensation Discussion and Analysis” above.

(1) The registrant contributions are reported above in the “2007 Summary Compensation Table” under the “All Other Compensation” column. Aggregate earnings are not included in such table. Executive contributions are included in the “2007 Summary Compensation Table” under the “Salary” column. The aggregate balances have not previously been reported as compensation in our prior years’ Summary Compensation Tables.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Payments or other forms of compensation to our named executive officers when their employment with us is terminated is, except as provided below, generally limited to those items provided to all employees upon termination, namely payment of any earned unpaid salary and accrued unpaid vacation benefits. Our named executive officers may terminate employment with us under a number of different scenarios, which include retirement, voluntary termination for good reason, voluntary termination without good reason, involuntary termination without cause, involuntary termination for cause, termination in connection with a change in control, death and disability.

In 2007, we were a party to an agreement with Mr. Gearhardt that provides for him to receive certain additional benefits and compensation if his employment with us is terminated (for reasons other than cause, death or disability), or he resigns for good reason, within 24 months of any change in control.

Upon a termination within 24 months of a change in control, we will pay to Mr. Gearhardt in a lump sum an amount equal to (1) two times the sum of his annual base salary at the highest rate in effect within the three years prior to the termination and his incentive bonus compensation equal to not less than the average of the annual bonuses paid in the two years prior to the termination; and (2) 24 times the monthly health care COBRA premium then in effect adjusted for income tax effects. In addition, we will pay him any unpaid incentive compensation, including any annual bonus or long-term incentive pay, earned or awarded for periods prior to the termination date. If the payment or benefits provided by us under the agreement will be subject to excise tax under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code, the payment or benefits will be reduced to the minimum extent necessary so that no portion of the payment or benefits will be subject to such tax, but only to the extent the reduction results in an increase in the aggregate payment or benefits to Mr. Gearhardt on an after-tax basis.

As stated above, upon termination of employment for any reason regarding any other named executive officer, the officer would be entitled to his earned unpaid salary as well as his accrued unpaid vacation benefits.

Tabular Disclosure

The table below reflects the estimated amounts of payments or compensation Mr. Gearhardt may receive under particular circumstances in the event of termination of his employment. None of our named executive officers is entitled to any other material payment or benefit, other than what we provide all employees upon termination, in the event of termination. Except as otherwise indicated, the amounts shown in the table below assume that Mr.

Gearhardt is terminated as of December 31, 2007, and that the price per share of our Common Stock equals $23.50, which was the closing price of our Common Stock on December 31, 2007, as reported on the Nasdaq Global Select Market. Actual amounts that we may pay to Mr. Gearhardt upon termination of his employment, however, can only be determined at the time of his actual termination.

(3) Pursuant to the company’s benefit policies, all accrued and unpaid vacation benefits are paid out in a lump sum upon an employee’s termination (regardless of a change in control). The amounts described above reflect the amount of accrued unpaid vacation for such named executive officer as of December 31, 2007. In addition, Messrs. Brown, Cauldwell and Catanzarita would have received $3,507, $18,469 and $7,422 respectively, as payment of accrued unpaid vacation benefits as of December 31, 2007.

Cash Compensation

During 2007, each of the non-employee directors elected to receive his annual fee of $25,000 in restricted share units equal in value to 1.5 times the annual fee, which resulted in the issuance of 1,823 restricted share units to each such director. In addition to annual fees, we reimburse each non-employee director for travel and other related out-of-pocket expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board of Directors or committees of the Board of Directors. During 2007, each of the independent directors also received a fee of $1,000 per day for meetings of the Board of Directors or committees of the Board of Directors attended regardless of the number of meetings held on a given day. During 2007, the Chairmen of the Audit Review Committee and the Compensation Committee each received annual additional compensation of $4,500 and the Chairman of the Nominations Committee received additional annual compensation of $2,500.

Stock-Based Compensation

Our non-employee directors also participate in our 2002 Equity and Performance Incentive Plan (Amended and Restated February 25, 2004). During 2007, our non-employee directors each received a stock option grant at an exercise price of $20.57 (the market price on the date of grant) for 2,000 shares of our Common Stock. All of the options granted to the non-employee directors in 2007 have a ten-year term from their date of grant and vest in three equal installments on April 18, 2007, April 18, 2008, and April 18, 2009.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION

The members of the Compensation Committee for fiscal year 2007 were Lawrence A. Skantze (Committee Chairman), Don R. Graber, Lester L. Lyles and Kenneth A. Minihan.

Additionally, during 2007, none of our executive officers or directors was a member of the board of directors, or any committee thereof, of any other entity such that the relationship would be construed to constitute a committee interlock within the meaning of the rules of the SEC.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE

The Board of Directors has determined that the following directors are independent under the Nasdaq independence standards: Don R. Graber, Lester L. Lyles, Kenneth A. Minihan, William E. MacDonald, III and Lawrence A. Skantze. In making such determination, the Board of Directors considered the relationship we have with National City Bank and Mr. MacDonald’s previous position with National City Bank, as further discussed below. The Board determined that the relationship had no more than a de minimis impact and thus did not affect his independence. None of the other directors determined to be independent had a relationship or arrangement with us.

TRANSACTIONS WITH RELATED PERSONS

Subcontracting Relationships

From time to time, we enter into subcontracting relationships with other governmental contractors that are affiliated with Mr. Soin, a significant stockholder, Chairman of the Board in 2006 and Chairman and Chief Executive Officer in 2007. During 2007, we made and received payments to and from one such governmental contractor, of which Mr. Soin is a manager and principal owner, as indicated in the following table:

 

Company

   Payment Made For Services
Received in 2007
   Payment Received For
Services Provided in 2007

Corbus, LLC

   $ 45,252    $ 1,370,000

We believe that the subcontracting agreements with this related party reflect prevailing market conditions at the time they were entered into and contain substantially similar terms to those that might be negotiated by independent parties on an arm’s-length basis. We do not anticipate making additional payments to Corbus in 2008, as the subcontracts have expired. The payments received relate to a management agreement whereby we provided consulting and administrative services to Corbus, LLC. These payments continued through November 2007 when the management agreement expired.

Credit Facility

Mr. MacDonald, one of our directors, served from March 2001 to December 2006 as an executive officer of National City Corporation, a diversified financial holding company and parent to National City Bank. During 2007, we had an $85.0 million revolving credit facility and a $60.0 million term loan with seven banks, including National City Bank. The credit agreement governing this revolving credit facility and term loan is scheduled to expire on April 21, 2010. During 2007, the highest amount of borrowings against the credit agreement was $94.1

 

23


million; however, as of March 31, 2008, borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility were $15.6 million and an aggregate of $39.8 million was outstanding under the term loan. Borrowings under the revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of prime, or the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 100 to 200 basis points, and the term loan bears interest at a rate of prime to prime plus 25 basis points, or the London Interbank Offered Rate plus 125 to 225 basis points, each of which is depending on the ratio of our funded debt to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation, and amortization. We have paid, and will pay, principal and interest payments in March, June, September and December of each calendar year. In 2007, we paid a total of $6.0 million in interest and fees to the banks, of which National City Bank was paid its pro rata amount.

Related Party Transactions Policy

In 2002, our Board of Directors adopted by resolution, reflected in the minutes of the Board of Directors’ meetings, a policy that any transaction between us and any officer, director, principal stockholder or any of their affiliates must be approved by a majority of disinterested directors and be on terms no less favorable to us than could be obtained from unaffiliated parties. With respect to each of the related party transactions described above involving Mr. Soin and/or his family, the Board of Directors have elected a special committee comprised entirely of disinterested directors to approve such transaction. In each transaction, the special committee has engaged legal counsel and an independent financial adviser to assist it in evaluating the transaction.

 

ITEM 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

Ernst & Young LLP has served as the Company’s independent accountant since 2003. The following fees were billed to the Company by Ernst & Young LLP for services rendered in 2007 and 2006:

Audit Fees

Pre-Approval Policy

The Audit Review Committee has adopted an Audit and Non-Audit Services Pre-Approval Policy setting forth the procedures and conditions for pre-approval of all audit and permissible non-audit services expected to be performed by the Company’s independent auditor. The policy provides for the general pre-approval of specific types of proposed services, or general pre-approved services, gives guidance as to the types of services that qualify as general pre-approved services and provides specific cost limits that are reviewed on an annual basis for each of the general pre-approved services. Such general pre-approved services, including audit, audit-related, tax and other permitted services (as detailed in the policy and its appendices) may be provided by the independent auditor without consideration of specific case-by-case services by the Committee. The policy requires specific pre-approval by the Committee of all permitted services other than such general pre-approved services. For both types of pre-approval, the Committee considers whether such services are consistent with the rules of the SEC regarding auditor

independence. The policy also contains a list of all non-audit services that independent auditors are prohibited from providing under rules promulgated by the SEC. One or more members of the Committee may be delegated the authority to approve independent auditor services requests provided that the pre-approval is reported at the next meeting of the Committee. The policy prohibits the Committee from delegating its responsibility for pre-approving services to be performed by the independent auditor to management.

Generally, requests or applications for independent auditor services that do not require specific pre-approval by the Audit Review Committee are submitted to the Company’s Chief Financial Officer for a determination as to whether the requested services are indeed general pre-approved services. If so, the Chief Financial Officer will then inform the Committee on a timely basis that the requested services have been rendered by the independent auditor. Requests or applications for independent auditor services that require specific pre-approval by the Committee are submitted to the Committee by the Chief Financial Officer and the independent auditor.
