Upon disability lasting six consecutive months, we have the right to terminate the agreement by paying Ms. Nelson her base salary for the remainder of the term of the agreement. Upon the termination or expiration of the agreement, Ms. Nelson has agreed to refrain from engaging in activity competitive with the Company’s business, within 100 miles of where we conduct business, for a period of one year.

     Mr. Snedegar, our President and Chief Executive Officer, was subject to an employment agreement from April 15, 1999 through April 15, 2002. His 2001 salary under the agreement was $300,000.

The agreement further provided for him to be paid a base salary of $150,000 per year and a discretionary bonus of up to $100,000 in connection with his duties as Chief Executive Officer of Escrow.com. He was also eligible to receive a transaction bonus equal to 5% of the net proceeds from any sale of all or a majority interest in Company subsidiaries, or all or substantially all of the assets of any of material divisions or those of our subsidiaries. If the agreement had been terminated for good reason by Mr. Snedegar or by the Company without cause, he would have receives $600,000 in severance pay and accrued bonuses. Upon the termination or expiration of the agreement, Mr. Snedegar agreed not to solicit our customers or employees for a period of one year.

REPORT OF THE COMPENSATION COMMITTEE ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

General

     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and administering the policies that govern executive compensation and benefit practices. The Compensation Committee evaluates the performance of the executive officers and determines their compensation levels, in terms of salary, annual bonus and related benefits, all subject to Board approval. The Compensation Committee has access to independent compensation data for use in assessing levels of compensation for officers of the Company.

Compensation Philosophy

     The Company’s executive compensation programs are designed to (i) provide levels of compensation that integrate pay and incentive plans with the Company’s strategic goals, so as to align the interests of executive management with the long-term interests of the stockholders; (ii) motivate Company executives to achieve the strategic business goals of the Company and to recognize their individual contributions; and (iii) provide compensation opportunities which are competitive to those offered by other national title insurance companies and other middle-market corporations similar in size and performance. Although the exact identity of the corporations surveyed varies, these generally include title companies and other corporations equal to or larger than the Company. The Compensation Committee believes that the components of executive compensation should include base salary, annual cash bonus, stock option grants and other benefits and should be linked to individual and Company performance. With regard to the Company’s performance, the measures used for determining appropriate levels of compensation for executive officers include the Company’s national market share, net margin, quality of service, meeting strategic goals within the current economic climate and industry environment, scope of responsibilities, expansion by acquisition or otherwise, and profit retention and profitability, all of which combine to enhance stockholder value.

Compensation of the Chief Executive Officer for Fiscal 2001

     Mr. Snedegar’s compensation for 2001 was determined pursuant to the terms of his employment agreement in effect during that period. His employment agreement provided him with a minimum base annual salary. Mr. Snedegar also received a cash bonus. Under the terms of his employment agreement, the Company, through the Compensation Committee, has the discretion to award stock options to Mr. Snedegar. Mr. Snedegar received stock options in 2001 totaling 220,000 shares of Common Stock. Of these options, no shares vested upon date of grant. 192,500 of the options vested at 12/31/01 with the remaining 27,500 vesting on 4/25/02.

Compensation of Other Executives for Fiscal 2001

     With respect to the base salaries and cash bonuses awarded to other executive officers in respect of 2001, the Compensation Committee approved these amounts in the exercise of their discretion. The decision of the Compensation Committee with respect to the base salary for each such executive officer is subjective and was made after consideration of the performance of the executive in his or her particular area of responsibility, the executive’s contribution to the Company’s overall management team and an assessment of the future contributions the executive should be able to make to the Company.

Stock Option Grants

     As indicated above, an important element of the Company’s compensation philosophy is the desire to align the interests of the executive officers with the long-term interests of the Company’s stockholders. The purpose of the Company’s Stock Incentive Plans is to attract, retain and award executive officers and directors and to furnish incentives to these persons to improve operations, increase profits and positively impact the Company’s long-term performance. Consistent with these objectives, the Compensation Committee granted options to executive officers for their performance.

ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

escrow.com

     escrow.com is a company that aims to facilitate business-to-business transactions on the internet by providing a secure and convenient system for managing payments, deliveries and ancillary services. This company was launched in October 1999, with assets and intellectual property provided by the Company. In return, the Company received a promissory note in an amount of $4.5 million and a warrant to purchase 15 million shares of escrow.com common stock at a price of $0.40 per share. The Company fully reserved the note receivable until escrow.com becomes more fully established.

     On April 10, 2002, escrow.com merged into iLumin Corp., a company that produces software products designed to improve the security of electronic transactions, with iLumin being the surviving entity. The merger was effected by an exchange of escrow.com common stock for stock in the surviving entity, such that escrow.com shareholders received 40% of the equity of the surviving entity. The Company partially exercised its warrant as part of the transaction, receiving 11,250,000 shares of escrow.com common stock, which it exchanged for 35,468,642 shares of iLumin common stock, representing a 12% equity interest.
