COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS Directors who are employees of the Company do not receive additional compensation for acting as a member of the Board of Directors or any committee thereof. Outside directors receive a monthly retainer of $2,000, and a fee of $1,000 for each Board meeting and committee meeting (excluding telephonic meetings) attended in excess of 12 each year, with all Board and committee meetings held in a single day to be deemed as one meeting. In addition, directors are reimbursed for their reasonable travel expenses incurred for attendance at such meetings. Under the 1996 Nonemployee Director Stock Compensation Plan, directors may accept directors' fees in stock in lieu of cash. In accordance with the terms of the 1996 Nonemployee Director 6 7 Stock Compensation Plan, the number of shares of Common Stock received by the nonemployee directors is based upon the fair market value of a share of Common Stock at the date on which the cash compensation was otherwise payable to the nonemployee director. Each of the Company's outside directors elected to receive his director fees in fiscal year 1997 in the form of Company stock. In June 1993, the Company entered into a Consulting Agreement with Mr. Reynolds whereby Mr. Reynolds agrees to provide consulting services to the Company. Under the agreement, the Company pays to Mr. Reynolds a retainer of $2,000 per month. The agreement may be terminated by either party upon 30 days' written notice. EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS AND GUARANTEED SEVERANCE PAYMENTS The Company has entered into employment agreements with Messrs. Tullio and Glade. The agreements establish each employee's base salary and entitle each employee to receive benefits, vacation and sick leave in accordance with the Company's policies. The agreements are not for any specified term as either party may terminate the employment relationship at any time in accordance with the terms of the agreements. The agreements also contain provisions concerning the non-disclosure by the employee of Company proprietary information and the ownership of inventions conceived or made by the employee during the period of employment with the Company. Pursuant to such employment agreements, under certain circumstances, if an officer is terminated, voluntarily or involuntarily, as a result of a "change in control" of the Company during the term of his employment, the officer shall be entitled to monthly severance payments for a period ranging under the individual agreements from 90 days to as much as eighteen (18) months (the "Severance Period") following the effective date of such termination. The term "change in control" means any of the following: (a) merger or consolidation of the Company; (b) sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company; (c) sale of more than 50% of the outstanding common stock of the Company by any person or persons; or (d) change of identity of at least a majority of the Board of Directors within a twelve-month period. The severance payments are based upon the average total compensation paid to such officer during the previous fiscal year (excluding any non-cash compensation). The severance payments shall be reduced by any compensation, fees or remuneration received by such officer during the Severance Period. The Company is also obligated to continue to provide medical and dental benefits to the officer during the Severance Period. Additionally, any rights the officer may have in connection with Company's stock options and stock awards and the Company's profit sharing plan shall continue uninterrupted during the Severance Period, to the extent permitted by applicable tax law, other laws and the Company plans. The severance payments to the executive officers are required, under certain circumstances, to be placed in a trust to ensure payment. In addition to the foregoing, Mr. Tullio is entitled to receive severance payments and a continuation of employee benefits following termination if termination is for any reason other than for causes arising out of breach of Company policy or illegal acts. Such severance payments and benefits are for up to six (6) months for Mr. Tullio. The Company has also entered into an agreement with James A. Sorensen, its Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, pursuant to which Mr. Sorensen is entitled to receive six (6) months termination pay at his base rate of pay in effect at the time of termination if his employment is terminated by the Company for any reason other than misconduct, fraud, or other unlawful acts. INDEMNIFICATION AGREEMENTS The Company has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and certain key officers which provide such individuals with contractual indemnification rights. Such indemnification agreements apply retroactively as well as prospectively to any actions taken by the indemnified parties while serving as officers or directors of the Company. Such indemnification agreements also provide that the Company shall indemnify such persons to the fullest extent permitted by law, notwithstanding that such indemnification is not specifically authorized by the indemnification agreement, the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company's Bylaws or by statute. 7 8 COMPENSATION COMMITTEE INTERLOCKS AND INSIDER PARTICIPATION The Company's Compensation Committee for fiscal 1997 was composed of Messrs.
