Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Plan Based Awards

Employment Agreements

On August 20, 2001, we entered into amended and restated employment agreements with Robert J. Adamson and Kevin S. Little, amending and restating their original employment agreements, dated June 1, 1998. The terms of these employment agreements are substantially similar other than the individual’s title and salary.

Under their employment agreements, each of Messrs. Adamson and Little is entitled: (i) to a base salary at a specified annual rate plus an incentive bonus based upon the achievement of certain performance objectives to be determined by the Board from time to time; (ii) to participate in our stock option plans and other compensation plans offered to our officers and directors; and (iii) to participate in any health, insurance, pension and other benefit plans provided to other similarly situated employees. The base salaries that we pay to our named executive officers are reported under the “Salary” heading in the Summary Compensation Table herein.

We are entitled to terminate each employment agreement with or without cause, and each of Messrs. Adamson and Little is entitled to terminate his or her employment agreement for good reason (as such terms are defined in the employment agreements). In the event that an employment agreement is terminated without cause by us or with good reason by Messrs. Adamson and Little, as the case may be, such individual will continue to receive his or her base salary for a period of 12 months following the date of such termination, and to the extent permissible under our health plans, continuation of health benefits during such period. After such period, Messrs. Adamson and Little, at their option, can continue to participate in our standard healthcare plans, at their own expense. In the event that an employment agreement is terminated under the same circumstances and within 12 months after a change of control of our company, such individual will be entitled to receive a lump sum payment of two times the sum of his or her annual base salary and other compensation provided under the employment agreement at the rate in effect on the date of termination.

Incentive Plan, Bonuses and Option Awards

In fiscal 2009 and 2008, there were no bonuses awarded to our named executive officers.

In February 2008, the Compensation Committee calculated that the company had achieved over 100% of its performance target in fiscal 2007. As a result, Mr. Adamson was awarded an incentive award of 55% of his annual base salary of $575,000 at that time, in the amount of $316,250, and Mr. Little was awarded an incentive award of 55% of his annual base salary of $405,000 at that time, in the amount of $222,750. These amounts were earned in fiscal 2007 and, as a result, were recorded by us in our fiscal 2007 operating results and are included in the fiscal 2007 “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” column of the Summary Compensation Table. These awards were paid to Messrs. Adamson and Little in fiscal 2008.

In February 2007, the Compensation Committee awarded a discretionary bonus to Mr. Adamson in the amount of $112,500, representing 25% of his annual base salary of $450,000 at the time of the bonus, and a discretionary bonus to Mr. Little in the amount of $91,875, representing 25% of his annual base salary of $367,500 at the time of the bonus, in recognition of the significant ongoing contributions those individuals have made to our company. The discretionary bonuses awarded by the Compensation Committee to Messrs. Adamson and Little were not related to fiscal 2006 performance and are therefore reported in the fiscal 2007 “Bonus” column of the Summary Compensation Table.

The annual bonuses that we pay to our named executive officers are reported under either the “Bonus” or “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” heading in the Summary Compensation Table herein, dependent upon the nature of the bonus.

We did not grant any options to our named executive officers during fiscal 2009 or 2008. We granted options to purchase 300,000 shares of our Common Stock to our named executive officers during fiscal 2007, comprised of 200,000 options and 100,000 options, respectively, to Messrs. Adamson and Little. None of our named executive officers exercised any options during fiscal 2009, 2008 or 2007.

2001 Stock Incentive Plan

We use stock-based compensation (primarily stock options) as a means of aligning the interests of our key employees and executive officers with the interests of our stockholders, by ensuring that they have a direct interest in increasing stockholder value. The purpose of our 2001 Stock Incentive Plan is to:

 

•

give our key employees and executive officers an opportunity to acquire shares of our Common Stock;

 

•

provide an incentive for our key employees and executive officers to continue to promote our best interests;

 

•

enhance our long-term performance; and

 

•

provide an incentive for current and future key employees and executive officers to join or to remain employees of our company.

Pursuant to our 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, we may award our key employees and executive officers incentive stock options and nonqualified stock options. Grants made since our inception through the end of fiscal 2009 were generally limited to those made in connection with initial employment or promotion. Newly hired or promoted key employees typically receive their stock options awards on their date of hire or date of promotion.

Under the plan, the Compensation Committee may grant option awards and determine the exercise period, exercise price and such other conditions and restrictions as it deems appropriate for each grant. In general, options vest ratably over a period of three to four years, and the holder must exercise vested options within ten years and one day from the grant date. Incentive stock options granted to a 10% stockholder must be exercised within five years and one day from the grant date. Option grants are approved prior to or on the grant date with an exercise price equal to the closing price of our Common Stock in the over-the-counter market on the grant date. The Compensation Committee has never granted options with an exercise price that is less than the closing price of our Common Stock on the grant date, nor has it granted options which are priced on a date other than the grant date.

Vesting and exercise rights cease upon 90 days after termination of employment, except in the case of disability or death (subject to a six month limitation). In addition, the Board or the Compensation Committee may, in its sole discretion, redeem the stock options of any holder whose employment is terminated for any reason (including death, disability or otherwise) in exchange for a cash payment to the holder or to a deceased holder’s estate equal to the product of: (i) the number of the exercisable options held by the holder and (ii) the difference between the exercise price and the fair market value of our Common Stock. Prior to the exercise of an option, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to such option.

On March 30, 2009, the Compensation Committee awarded repriced and newly issued stock options to members of our senior management team and other Company employees. None of these repriced options were granted to our named executive officers. In this grant, the Committee awarded ten-year options to purchase an aggregate of 587,969 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $0.20 per share (the fair market value on the grant date), vesting 50% on April 1, 2010 and 50% on April 1, 2011. An aggregate of 452,469 options, outstanding at the time of the issuance of the repriced options, were cancelled.

Deferred Compensation Plans

Our voluntary defined contribution 401(k) profit sharing plan allows certain employees, including our named executive officers, to defer up to 25% of their annual salary up to the adjusted IRS maximum each year. In addition, the 401(k) plan provides that we may match 50% of the participants’ contributions, up to a maximum of 7% of the participants’ salary contributed. It also provides for discretionary matching contributions above that amount, which (if granted) would be allocated to each employee based on the employee’s annual pay divided by the total annual pay of all participants eligible to receive such contribution. Deferred amounts are credited with earnings or losses based on the rate of return of the funds selected by the participants. Distributions are paid as elected by the participant, from their respective 401(k) accounts, pursuant to the provisions of our existing 401(k) plan.

Table of Contents

In addition, we had established a nonqualified deferred compensation plan for our senior managers, including our named executive officers. The deferred compensation plan allowed for its participants to defer up to 100% of their annual salary up to the adjusted 401(k) maximum that can be deferred under the 401(k) plan (see above). In addition, we could match 50% of the participant’s contributions, up to a maximum of 7% of the participant’s salary contributed, a match that is consistent with our existing 401(k) plan. Participants could also contribute 100% of any excess contributions, excess company match and potential earnings from the prior year’s 401(k) discrimination testing refunds. The plan was a nonqualified unfunded deferred compensation plan and all participants’ contributions were held in our name. In December 2008, we decided to dissolve the non-qualified plan which dissolution became effective in January 2009. The participants funded their own contributions and we matched a portion of the participant’s contributions in fiscal 2008 pursuant to the provisions of the plan. The plan distributions to our named executive officers are recorded in the Nonqualified Deferred Compensation Table herein.

Other Compensation

Prior to our 2001 IPO, we made loans to Messrs. Adamson and Little in connection with their purchases of our restricted stock, which were evidenced by promissory notes bearing interest at the prime rate announced from time to time by the Wall Street Journal. The loans had a ten-year maturity. Pursuant to the terms of the written employment agreements with Messrs. Adamson and Little, we agreed that during any calendar year in which the promissory note was outstanding, the individual would be entitled to receive compensation equal to the amount of interest accrued under such promissory note during such calendar year plus the amount of applicable taxes due with respect to such compensation such that the net after-tax compensation amount shall equal such amount of accrued interest. Mr. Adamson has repaid his loan in full. The amount of interest accrued under Mr. Little’s promissory note during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 (together with the applicable taxes) is set forth in the All Other Compensation Table herein.

Other Awards

Our Board of Directors has the authority to grant other awards, including stock awards, to our executive officers if it deems appropriate. On August 4, 2009, the Board, upon recommendation by the Compensation Committee, approved a grant of 1,000,000 restricted stock units to Mr. Adamson and 500,000 restricted stock units to Mr. Little, which are recorded in the Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table herein. The restricted stock units to Messrs. Adamson and Little will vest based upon the Company complying with certain performance targets set forth in restricted stock agreements we entered into with Messrs. Adamson and Little. The Board granted these restricted stock units based on a finding that Messrs. Adamson and Little are critical to our future success as well as a desire to give Messrs. Adamson and Little a more substantial interest in our success by aligning their interests with those of our stockholders.

Insurance

Our named executive officers are entitled to participate in our health, life and disability insurance plans. Our named executive officers receive company-sponsored life insurance equal to their annual salary, up to a maximum amount of $350,000. This is the same company-sponsored life insurance plan that is available to all of our employees on a nondiscriminatory basis.

Perquisites and Other Benefits

We provide our named executive officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that we and the Compensation Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with our overall compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain executive officers and key employees. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews the levels of perquisites and other personal benefits provided to our named executive officers. During fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, our named executive officers were only provided participation in the plans and programs described above, and none of our named executive officers received any other perquisites or other benefits which conferred a direct or indirect benefit having a personal aspect and which were not generally available to all of our employees on a nondiscriminatory basis. Attributed costs of the perquisites and other benefits described above for our named executive officers for fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007 are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table herein. The Compensation Committee has reviewed the prerequisites awarded to named executive officers in light of economic conditions and has determined that, since the named executive officers receive only prerequisites that are awarded to other employees, that no changes to the prerequisites are required.

Severance Payments

Pursuant to the terms of the written employment agreements with our CEO and CFO, we have agreed to provide severance payments and other benefits to such employees in the event their employment terminates for a qualifying event or circumstance, such as a termination by us without “cause,” a termination by the employee with “good reason,” and a termination within 12 months following a “change in control,” as such terms are defined in the employment agreements. The Compensation Committee believes that such payments promote the stability and continuity of our senior management. Information regarding the applicable payments under such employment agreements is provided under the heading “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” below.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation

The Compensation Committee reviews and considers the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that a public company may not deduct non-performance based compensation in excess of $1.0 million paid to its chief executive officer or any of its four highest paid other executive officers. None of our executive officers received in fiscal 2009, 2008 or 2007 non-performance based compensation in excess of this limit, and, at this time, we do not expect that any executive officer will receive compensation in excess of this limit in fiscal 2010. Accordingly, the Compensation Committee did not need to take any action to preserve the deductibility of the compensation paid to our executive officers. The Compensation Committee will continue to monitor this situation, however, and will take appropriate action if it is warranted in the future.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation

On December 26, 2005, we began accounting for stock-based payments, including grants of stock based compensation under our 2001 Stock Incentive Plan, in accordance with the requirements of the Equity Topic of the FASB ASC (ASC 505), which requires us to recognize expenses related to the fair value of share-based compensation awards. Under the fair value recognition provisions of these standards, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award. For further information, please see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements, which are included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 27, 2009.

Salary, Bonus and Other Compensation in Proportion to Total Compensation

During fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007, base salary accounted for approximately 69%, 60% and 51%, respectively, of the total compensation of our named executive officers and all other compensation, excluding bonuses, accounted for approximately 31%, 8% and 8%, respectively, of the total compensation of our named executive officers for each year. Bonuses accounted for approximately 0%, 32% and 41%, respectively, of the total compensation of our named executive officers during fiscal 2009, 2008 and 2007. The bonuses paid in fiscal 2008 were earned in fiscal 2007 and recorded in our fiscal 2007 operating results.

The plan was dissolved in December 2008, which dissolution became effective in January 2009.

The amounts in the table above relate to a deferred compensation plan that we established for our senior managers, including our named executive officers.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL

We have entered into written employment agreements with Robert J. Adamson and Kevin S. Little. The employment agreements provide for payments of certain benefits, as described in the tables below, upon the termination of the employee. The employee’s rights upon termination of his or her employment depend upon the circumstance of the termination. Central to an understanding of the rights of each employee under the employment agreements is an understanding of the definitions of “cause” and “good reason” that are used in those agreements. For purposes of the employment agreements:

 

•

we have “cause” to terminate the employee if the employee has engaged in any of a list of specified activities, including the failure, neglect or refusal to perform his or her duties; any willful or intentional act of the employee that has the effect of injuring our reputation or business in any material respect; use of illegal drugs or repeated drunkenness by the employee; conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to the commission of a felony by the employee; an act of fraud or embezzlement against us by the employee; or his or her breach of any of the confidentiality, non-competition, non-solicitation or non-disparagement restrictive covenants contained in the employment agreement; and

 

•

the employee is said to have “good reason” to terminate his or her employment and thereby gain access to the benefits described below in the event his or her responsibilities then in effect are substantially and materially reduced; the employee is relocated to a principal office location more than 50 miles from Boca Raton, Florida; we materially breach the employment agreement; or any successor fails to assume the employment agreement.

The employment agreements include non-competition and non-solicitation provisions that would apply for a period of one year following the employee’s termination of employment for any reason (or three years if such termination occurs within 12 months following a change in control) and non-disparagement and confidentiality provisions that would apply for an unlimited period of time following the employee’s termination of employment.

The employment agreements specify payment to the employees upon each of the following situations:

 

•

death or disability of the employee;

 

•

termination by us without cause;

 

•

termination by the employee for good reason; and

 

•

termination by us without cause or by the employee for good reason after a change in control.

A change in control under the employment agreements with Messrs. Adamson and Little is defined as:

“(i) The acquisition by any individual, entity or group (other than the Company, any employee benefit plan of the Company, or Warburg, Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P. or any affiliate thereof) of beneficial ownership (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) of securities representing more than 50% of the voting securities of the Company entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, determined on a fully-diluted basis (“Voting Securities”); provided, however, that such acquisition shall not constitute a Change in Control hereunder if a majority of the holders of the Voting Securities immediately prior to such acquisition retain directly or through ownership of one or more holding companies, immediately following such acquisition, a majority of the voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of the successor entity; (ii) The date upon which individuals who as of the date of the employment agreements entered into by Messrs. Adamson and Little constitute a majority of the Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Board” ) cease to constitute at least a majority of the Board, provided, that any individual becoming a director subsequent to the date hereof whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board; or (iii) Consummation of a reorganization, merger or consolidation or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company (a “Business Combination”), in each case, unless, following such Business Combination, all or substantially all of the individuals or entities who were the beneficial owners, respectively, of the Voting Securities immediately prior to such Business Combination beneficially own, directly or indirectly, more than 50% of, respectively, the then outstanding voting securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors, as the case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination (including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets either directly or through one or more subsidiaries).”

Table of Contents

In the event that the employee’s employment terminates for any reason, the employee will receive all accrued but unpaid compensation provided under the employment agreement through the date of such termination, at the rate in effect on the date of termination, plus all accrued but unused vacation time and unreimbursed expenses through the date of termination.

In the event that the employee’s employment is terminated by us without cause (other than by reason of death or disability), or the employee voluntarily resigns with good reason, in addition to the amounts described in the preceding paragraph, the employee will continue to receive his or her base salary for a period of 12 months following the date of such termination, and to the extent permissible under our health plans, continuation of health benefits during such period.

In the event that the employee is terminated by us without cause or the employee resigns for good reason within 12 months following a change in control of our company, as defined in the agreements, in addition to the payments described in the preceding paragraphs, the employee will receive a lump sum payment of two times the sum of the employee’s annual base salary and other compensation (health, insurance, pension, and other benefits provided to other similarly situated employees) provided under the employment agreement at the rate in effect on the date of termination. In addition, if at the time of such termination the employee holds any stock options or warrants, we will cash out those options or warrants based upon the spread between the fair market value of the underlying shares and the applicable exercise price, if any.

In the event that the employee is terminated by us without cause, the employee resigns for good reason or the employee is terminated due to death or disability, we must also reimburse the employee for all legal fees, costs and expenses incurred by the employee in enforcing the employment agreement.

The employment agreements require, as a precondition to the receipt of these payments, that the employee sign a standard form of release in which he or she waives all claims that he or she might have against us and certain associated individuals and entities.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

We use a combination of cash and equity-based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board.

Cash Compensation

We do not pay directors who are our employees additional compensation for their services as a director. We pay Messrs. Hollis, Incarnati, Robinson and Wester, and Dr. Boykin an annual retainer of $32,500. In addition, if eligible, we pay the Chairman of the Audit Committee $20,000 per year and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee, the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Finance Committee $10,000 per year. For each meeting of the Board, the five (5) aforementioned directors are paid $1,500 for participation in an in-person meeting or $750 for a telephonic meeting. We also pay directors who serve on Board committees the greater of 50% of the amount that the Chairman of that Committee receives for serving on that Committee or the total received for participation in in-person meetings and telephonic meetings that occur during the fiscal year.

Equity-Based Compensation

To ensure that directors have an ownership interest aligned with our stockholders, from time to time we may also grant stock-based compensation to our non-employee directors under our 2001 Stock Incentive Plan. In fiscal 2009 and 2008, we issued restricted stock grants of 35,000 and 5,804 shares, respectively, to Messrs. Hollis, Incarnati, Robinson and Wester, and Dr. Boykin. We did not issue restricted stock grants to our directors in fiscal 2007. These restricted stock shares cannot be traded for one (1) year from their date of issuance, although they are deemed issued and outstanding from the date they were granted. Thus far, in fiscal 2010, we have not issued a restricted stock grant to the directors.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

The Compensation Committee is chaired by Mr. Hollis and also consists of Mr. Incarnati and Dr. Boykin. The Board has determined that Messrs. Hollis and Incarnati, and Dr. Boykin are independent directors.

The Board has adopted a charter for the Compensation Committee, which is available in the “Investor Relations” section of our website at www.msnhealth.com. The Compensation Committee reviews and reassesses the adequacy of its charter periodically and recommends any proposed changes to the Board for approval.

The Compensation Committee’s responsibilities, which are discussed in detail in its charter, include, among other duties, the responsibility to:

 

•

formulate, evaluate and approve the compensation of our directors, senior executive officers and key employees, and oversee all incentive and equity based compensation programs;

 

•

review and approve our corporate goals and objectives relevant to the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and evaluate our Chief Executive Officer’s performance in light of those goals and objectives;

 

•

determine and approve our Chief Executive Officer’s compensation based on this evaluation; and

 

•

make recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of directors, executive officers and other key employees (other than our Chief Executive Officer), as well as with respect to incentive compensation plans and equity-based plans.

Stockholders Agreement

On October 26, 2001, we entered into a stockholders agreement with Warburg Pincus Private Equity VIII, L.P. (“Warburg Pincus”) and certain of our other stockholders. The provisions of the stockholders agreement terminated upon consummation of our initial public offering on April 23, 2002, except that:

At present, Warburg Pincus is not represented on our Board.

Other Transactions

Further, to identify related person transactions, we submit and require our directors, director nominees and executive officers to complete Director and Officer Questionnaires identifying any transactions with us in which the director, director nominee, executive officer or any of their immediate family members may have an interest.

Director Independence

It is the policy of the Board that a substantial majority of its members be independent from management, and to that end, the Board has adopted director independence guidelines. In accordance with our Corporate Governance Guidelines, the Board recently undertook its annual review of director independence. In making its determinations in that regard, the Board considered any and all commercial and charitable relationships of directors, including transactions and relationships between us and each director or any member of his or her immediate family (such as the matters described above in “Certain Relationships and Related Transactions”). Following this review, the Board determined that each of our directors, other than Robert J. Adamson, is independent of us and our management.

Item 14. Principal Accountant Fees and Services

Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm and Services

We have not yet selected an independent registered public accounting firm to perform an audit of our financial statements for the 2010 fiscal year, because the Audit Committee generally makes this selection later in the calendar year. However, the Audit Committee has retained Ernst & Young to review our first quarter 2010 financial statements.
