Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), requires our executive officers and directors, and any person or entity who own more than 10% of a registered class of our Common Stock or other equity securities, to file with the SEC certain reports of ownership and changes in ownership of our securities. Executive officers, directors and stockholders who hold more than 10% of our outstanding Common Stock are required by the SEC to furnish us with copies of all required forms filed under Section 16(a). We prepare Section 16(a) forms on behalf of our executive officers and directors (except for Mr. Connolly and Mr. Schwartz who prepare their own filings) based on the information provided by them. Based solely on review of this information, we believe that, during 2009, no reporting person failed to file the forms required by Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act on a timely basis.

Code of Ethics

We have adopted a written Code of Ethics (the “Code of Ethics”) that applies to our Chief Executive Officer and senior financial officers and a written Code of Conduct (the “Code of Conduct”) that applies to all our directors, officers and employees.

A copy of the Code of Ethics and the Code of Conduct is available on our web site at www.edgar-online.com and print copies are available to any stockholder that requests a copy. Any amendment to the Code of Ethics or the Code of Conduct or any waiver of the Code of Ethics or the Code of Conduct will be disclosed on our web site promptly following the date of such amendment or waiver.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee reviews, acts on and reports to the Board of Directors with respect to various auditing and accounting matters, including selecting the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, the scope of the annual audits, fees to be paid to the accountants, the performance of the independent registered public accounting firm and the Company’s accounting practices. The members of the Audit Committee currently are Ms. DeMarse and Messrs. Feinstein, and O’Neill, each of whom is a non-employee director and, as required by Nasdaq, qualifies as “independent.” The Audit Committee also includes at least one independent member who is determined by the Board to meet the qualifications of an “audit committee financial expert” in accordance with U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules, including that the person meets the relevant definition of an “independent director.”

Richard L. Feinstein, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, is the independent director who has been determined by our Board of Directors to be an audit committee financial expert. Stockholders should understand that this designation is a disclosure requirement of the SEC related to Mr. Feinstein’s experience and understanding with respect to certain accounting and auditing matters. The designation does not impose upon Mr. Feinstein any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than are generally imposed on him as a member of the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors, and his designation as an audit committee financial expert pursuant to this SEC requirement does not affect the duties, obligations or liability of any other member of the Audit Committee or the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors has also determined that each Audit Committee member has sufficient knowledge in reading and understanding the Company’s financial statements to serve on the Audit Committee. The Audit Committee held eight meetings during 2009. On June 12, 2000, the Board of Directors adopted a charter for the Audit Committee. Subsequently, on March 23, 2004, the Board of Directors adopted an Amended and Restated Audit Committee Charter, a copy of which is available on our website at www.edgar-online.com.

ITEM 11.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Compensation Program

Our Compensation Committee (for purposes of this analysis, the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors has responsibility for establishing, implementing and continually monitoring adherence with our compensation philosophy. The Committee works to ensure that the total compensation paid to the Named Executive Officers (as defined in the Summary Compensation Table below) is fair, reasonable and competitive.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Committee believes that the compensation programs for executive officers should reflect our performance and the value created for our stockholders. In addition, the Committee believes that the compensation program should support our short-term and long-term strategic goals and values and should reward individual contributions to our success. The Committee works to ensure that the executive compensation policies and plans provide the necessary total remuneration program to properly align our performance with the interests of our stockholders through the use of competitive and equitable executive compensation in a balanced and reasonable manner, for both the short and long-term.

Our overall compensation philosophy is to provide a total compensation package that is competitive and enables us to attract, motivate, reward and retain key executives and other employees who have the skills and experience necessary to promote our short and long-term financial performance and growth.

The Committee recognizes the critical role of our executive officers in the significant growth and success of the Company. Accordingly, our executive compensation policies are designed to: (1) align the interests of executive officers and stockholders by encouraging stock ownership by executive officers and by making a

significant portion of executive compensation dependent upon our financial performance; (2) provide compensation that will attract and retain talented professionals; (3) reward individual results through base salary, annual cash bonuses, long-term incentive compensation in the form of stock options and various other benefits; and (4) manage compensation based on skill, knowledge, effort and responsibility needed to perform a particular job successfully.

In its review of salary, bonuses and long-term incentive compensation for our executive officers, the Committee takes into account both the position and expertise of a particular executive, as well as the Committee’s understanding of the competitive compensation for similarly situated executives in the Company’s industry.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions

The Committee makes all compensation decisions for the Named Executive Officers. Decisions regarding the compensation of other officers and employees are made by our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer.

Our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer annually review the performance of each Named Executive Officers (except that of our Chief Financial Officer who is reviewed by our President and Chief Executive Officer, and that of our President and Chief Executive Officer, whose performance is reviewed solely by the Committee). The conclusions reached and recommendations based on these reviews, including with respect to salary adjustments and annual award amounts, are presented to the Committee. The Committee can exercise its discretion in modifying any recommended adjustments or awards to such executives.

Setting Executive Compensation

Based on the foregoing objectives, the Committee has structured our annual and long-term incentive-based cash and non-cash executive compensation to motivate our executives to achieve the business goals set by us and reward the executives for achieving such goals. A percentage of total compensation is allocated to incentives as a result of the philosophy mentioned above. There is no pre-established policy or target for the allocation between either cash and non-cash, or short-term and long-term incentive compensation. Rather, the Committee reviews all relevant information to determine the appropriate level and mix of incentive compensation. Income from such incentive compensation is realized as a result of the performance of the Company or the individual, depending on the type of award, compared to established goals.

Compensation Consultant

In 2009, the Company, at the direction of the Compensation Committee, engaged Compensia, a California-based management consulting firm that provides executive advisory services to compensation committees and senior management of knowledge based companies. The nature and scope of Compensia’s engagement included (i) the development of an executive compensation peer group of companies of comparable size and industry to the Company, (ii) an assessment of the Company’s executive compensation programs based on an analysis of the peer group information and best practices based on client experience and data from Compensia’s proprietary data base and (iii) conducting a competitive executive compensation market analysis. The competitive executive compensation market analysis covered five senior positions and included direct comparison to industry and peer group data and included consideration of current and projected retention value of executive’s equity holdings. Compensia was directed to report to the Compensation Committee, take direction from the Compensation Committee Chairman and not engage directly with management on compensation or other projects unless in accordance with the scope of the engagement.

2009 Executive Compensation Components

For 2009, the principal components of compensation for the Named Executive Officers were:

•

base salary;

•

performance-based incentive compensation;

•

long-term equity compensation; and

•

perquisites and other benefits.

Base Salary

We provide the Named Executive Officers and other employees with base salary to compensate them for services rendered during the fiscal year. Base salary ranges for the Named Executive Officers are determined on an individual basis by evaluating each executive’s scope of responsibility, performance, prior experience and salary history, as well as the salaries for similar positions at comparable companies.

Salary levels are typically considered annually as part of the Company’s performance review process as well as upon a promotion or other change in job responsibility. Merit based increases to salaries of the Named Executive Officers are based on the Committee’s assessment of the individual’s performance.

Performance-Based Incentive Compensation

Performance-based incentive compensation is intended to encourage the Named Executive Officers to achieve short-term goals that we believe are integrally linked to long-term value creation. The incentive award ranges are established annually by the Committee for the Named Executive Officers and management employees. The business criteria used by the Committee in establishing performance goals applicable to performance awards to the Named Executive Officers are selected from among the following:

•

Sales or sales growth;

•

Expenses or expense ratios;

•

Operating income, earnings from operations, earnings before or after taxes, earnings before or after interest, depreciation, amortization, or extraordinary or special items;

•

Net income or net income per common share (basic or diluted; including or excluding extraordinary items);

•

Return on assets, return on investment, return on capital, or return on equity;

•

Cash flow, free cash flow, cash flow return on investment, or net cash provided by operations;

•

Economic profit or value created;

•

Stock price or total stockholder return; and

•

Specific strategic or operational business criteria, including market penetration, geographic expansion, new concept development goals, new projects, new products, or new ventures; customer satisfaction; staffing, training and development, succession planning or employee satisfaction; goals relating to acquisitions, divestitures, affiliates or joint ventures.

The overall assessment of the achievement of each Named Executive Officer’s goal determines the percent of the target award that will be paid to the executive as an annual incentive award.

The Committee retains discretion to set the level of performance for a given business criteria that will result in the earning of a specified amount under a performance award. These goals may be set with fixed, quantitative targets, targets relative to past Company performance, or targets compared to the performance of other companies, such as a published or special index or a group of companies selected by the Committee for

comparison. The Committee may specify that these performance measures will be determined before payment of bonuses, capital charges, non-recurring or extraordinary income or expense, or other financial and general and administrative expenses for the performance period, if so specified by the Committee.

Performance-based incentive compensation was awarded to Philip D. Moyer, Stefan Chopin and Sue Bratone Childs for services rendered in 2009 based upon increased revenues and improved EBITDA in 2009 as compared to 2008

Long-Term Compensation

The Committee believes that equity-based compensation in the form of stock options and restricted stock links the interests of executives with the long-term interests of our stockholders, encourages executives to remain in our employ and maintains competitive levels of total compensation. We grant stock options and restricted stock in accordance with the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan authorizes a broad range of awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock grants, and deferred stock grants. We have not granted any appreciation rights or deferred stock grants under the 2005 Plan.

The Board of Directors’ goal is to tie the stockholders’ interest securely with that of the Company’s officers, employees and directors, so that the financial performance of the Company is directly linked to compensation and recipients of grants pursuant to the 2005 Plan are increasingly motivated to perform at their optimal level. Stock options are granted based on a number of factors, including the individual’s level of responsibility, the amount and term of options already held by the individual, the individual’s contributions to the achievement of performance goals, and industry practices and norms. Stock options are generally awarded on an annual basis and, from time to time, when employees are hired or promoted. All options granted to the Named Executive Officers and other employees are approved by the Committee.

Stock options and restricted stock are awarded at Nasdaq’s closing price of our Common Stock on the date of the grant. The majority of the options granted by the Committee vest at a rate of 33 1/3% per year over the first three years of the ten-year option term while the vesting of restricted stock may vary from no vesting period to between one to three years or upon a change of control, as determined at the discretion of the Committee. Prior to the exercise of an option or the vesting of restricted stock, the holder has no rights as a stockholder with respect to the shares subject to such option, including voting rights and the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents. An employee granted restricted stock shall have all of the rights of a stockholder, including the right to vote the restricted stock and the right to receive dividends thereon once the restricted stock vests. Restricted stock awards are generally subject to forfeiture if the grantee is no longer an employee at the time of vesting.

Perquisites and Other Benefits

We provide the Named Executive Officers with limited perquisites and other personal benefits not provided generally to all employees, such as a commutation allowance, as well as partial relocation reimbursement to our Chief Executive Officer, that the Company and the Committee believe are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable us to attract and retain superior employees for key positions. All such perquisites are reflected in the All Other Compensation column of the Summary Compensation Table and the accompanying footnotes.

The Named Executive Officers participate in the same Company 401(k) program as provided to other employees. The Company did not provide any special 401(k) benefits to the Named Executive Officers, and their health care and insurance coverage is the same as that provided to other employees.

Trading Windows / Hedging

We restrict the ability of employees to freely trade in our Common Stock because of their periodic access to material non-public information regarding the Company. Under our insider trading policy, the Named Executive Officers, our EVP Marketing, Controller, employees of our Finance Department, General Counsel and directors

are restricted from purchasing or selling our Common Stock, exercising stock options or selling shares of restricted stock during certain blackout periods. In addition, all employees, including our Named Executive Officers, are prohibited from hedging against or speculating in the potential changes in the value of our Common Stock.

Change in Control Protections

Some of our Named Executive Officers are parties to written employment agreements. The value of the “change in control” benefits provided under agreements is summarized in the section below entitled “Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control.” The Company does not gross-up any executive payments for potential taxes that may be incurred in connection with a “change in control.”

Policy with Respect to Section 162(m) Deduction Limit

Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, enacted in 1993, generally disallows a tax deduction to publicly held companies for compensation exceeding $1 million paid to certain of the Company’s executive officers. The limitation applies only to compensation that is not considered to be performance-based. The non-performance based compensation paid to our executive officers in 2009 did not exceed the $1 million limit per officer. Our stock option plan is structured so that any compensation deemed paid to an executive officer in connection with the exercise of option grants or vesting of restricted stock made under that plan will qualify as performance-based compensation which will not be subject to the $1 million limitation. The Committee currently intends to limit the dollar amount of all other compensation payable to the Company’s executive officers to no more than $1 million. The Committee is aware of the limitations imposed by Section 162(m), and the exemptions available therefrom, and will address the issue of deductibility when and if circumstances warrant.

Compensation Committee Report

The Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management and, based on such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this proxy statement.

Employment Agreements and Arrangements; Potential Payments upon Termination or Change of Control

The following is a summary of the terms of each of our Named Executive Officer’s employment agreements. Where applicable, the tables below reflect the amount of compensation payable to each of the Named Executive Officers in the event of termination of such executive’s employment. The amount of compensation payable to each Named Executive Officer upon termination for “cause,” termination in the event of death or disability, involuntary not-for-cause termination, termination for “good reason,” and termination following a “change of control” is shown below.

Philip D. Moyer

On April 9, 2007 we entered into an employment agreement with Philip D. Moyer to serve as our President and on July 30, 2007 he became Chief Executive Officer. On December 10, 2008, we amended Mr. Moyer’s employment agreement to allow Mr. Moyer’s stock options and restricted stock grants, upon certain events which terminate his Agreement, including death and disability, to immediately vest and remain exercisable for the period of the lesser of the original term of the stock option or five years.

Mr. Moyer’s Agreement provides that if the Company terminates him for cause he will only be entitled to his earned but unpaid base salary, bonus and benefits. “Cause” under Mr. Moyer’s Agreement, means: (a) the substantial and repeated failure of Mr. Moyer to perform his duties and responsibilities; (b) the conviction of, or plea of guilty or nolo contendere to a felony, or other crime involving moral turpitude or the commission of any other act or omission involving dishonesty or fraud that is injurious to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or any of its or their respective customers or suppliers; (c) the use of illegal drugs (whether or not at the workplace); (d) any act or omission aiding or abetting a competitor, supplier or customer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the material disadvantage or detriment of the Company and its subsidiaries; or (e) gross negligence or willful misconduct with respect to the Company or any of its subsidiaries, after the exhaustion of all available appeals, or the violation by Mr. Moyer of the representations made by him of the covenants in the Agreement including with respect to the use and disclosure of the Company’s trade secrets and confidential information or the obligation not to compete with the Company or to solicit employees, customers or suppliers of the Company.

Mr. Moyer’s compensation pursuant to the Agreement includes an annual base salary of $335,000, bonus incentives of up to 75% of such salary based on the achievement of certain financial objectives specified in the Agreement, a one-time grant of 50,000 restricted shares of Common Stock and a $75,000 bonus upon his assuming the role of Chief Executive Officer. In addition to salary and bonus compensation, Mr. Moyer received 250,000 restricted shares of Common Stock with one-third of the restricted stock vesting after the first six months of employment and the remaining stock vesting at the end of each successive six-month period in seven equal installments. Mr. Moyer’s employment continues until terminated and contains customary termination provisions for disability, death and cause, as modified on December 10, 2008 as described above. During the first year, either party was entitled to terminate the Agreement without cause upon thirty days written notice. If such termination had occurred during the first six months of employment, Mr. Moyer would have received three months base salary severance pay, any earned bonus and three months acceleration of the unvested portion of his restricted stock award. If such termination had occurred after six months of employment but prior to the one year anniversary of employment, Mr. Moyer would have received six months base salary severance pay, any earned bonus and six months acceleration of the unvested portion of his restricted stock award.

Mr. Moyer is entitled to terminate the Agreement for “good reason” in the event of a material change in his compensation or duties, a material breach of the Agreement by the Company or a change of control of the Company with which he disagrees. If such termination for good reason had occurred during the first six months of employment, Mr. Moyer would have received six month’s base salary severance pay and any earned bonus, plus six months’ acceleration of the unvested portion of his restricted stock award. If such termination had occurred after six months of employment but prior to the one year anniversary of the Agreement, Mr. Moyer would have received twelve months base salary severance pay and any earned bonus, plus twelve months acceleration of the unvested portion of his restricted stock award. If such termination occurs now or in the future, Mr. Moyer shall be entitled to receive twelve months base salary severance pay, any earned bonus, 24 months acceleration of the unvested portion

of his restricted stock award and the immediately vesting of all outstanding stock grants and options which shall remain exercisable for the period of the lesser of the original term of the stock option or five years.

For purposes of Mr. Moyer’s Agreement, “Change of Control” means: (a) any consolidation or merger of the Company pursuant to which a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or resulting company are not owned collectively by the holders of the Company’s outstanding voting securities as of the date of the transaction (the “Current Control Group”); (b) any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer of all, or substantially all, of the assets of the Company other than any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer to any company where the Company owns, directly or indirectly, 100% of the outstanding voting securities of such company after any such transfer; (c) any person, other than the Current Control Group, acquiring or becoming the beneficial owner of a majority or more of outstanding voting securities of the Company; (d) commencement by any entity, person, or group of a tender offer or exchange offer where the offeror acquires a majority of the then outstanding voting securities of the Company; (e) in the event of a vote of the stockholders to elect directors of the Company, the vote by a majority of stockholders present at the meeting in favor of candidates other than those nominated by the Company’s then existing Board of Directors; or (f) when, during any period of 24 consecutive months, the individuals who, at the beginning of such period, constitute the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Incumbent Directors”) cease for any reason other than death to constitute at least a majority thereof; provided, however, that a director who was not a director at the beginning of such 24 month period shall be deemed to have satisfied such 24 month requirement (and be an Incumbent Director) if such director was elected by, or on the recommendation of or with the approval of, at least two-thirds (2/3) a majority of the directors who then qualified as Incumbent Directors either actually (because they were directors at the beginning of such 24 month period) or through the operation of this proviso.

“Good Reason” means: (a) the occurrence, without Mr. Moyer’s consent, of a “change of control”; (b) a material breach of the terms of the Agreement by the Company if such breach is not cured within 15 business days after Mr. Moyer provides notice of such breach; (c) an involuntary change in Mr. Moyer’s status or position with the Company which constitutes a demotion from Mr. Moyer’s then current responsibilities and scope of powers, authority or duties inherent in such position; (d) a reduction by the Company in Mr. Moyer’s base salary (unless all executive officers of the Company also have their salaries reduced in an equivalent percentage as part of an overall Company cost cutting plan) or material change in Mr. Moyer’s bonus structure; or (e) the Company’s requiring Mr. Moyer to maintain his primary location of employment at a location more than 125 miles from Wayne, Pennsylvania.

John C. Ferrara

On February 29, 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with John C. Ferrara to serve as our Chief Financial Officer. On March 31, 2010, we signed a separation of employment and general release agreement with Mr. Ferrara. Per this agreement, Mr. Ferrara will receive a gross total of $187,500 over 10 months through our regularly scheduled payroll. In addition, the Company will provide Mr. Ferrara with health and dental benefits totaling $10,150 during this period. At the separation date, options to purchase 50,000 shares of our common stock immediately vested. After these options vested, Mr. Ferrara had outstanding options to purchase 113,334 shares of our common stock which are exercisable over the shorter of five years after the separation date, or the original life of the options. The value of these outstanding options, based on the closing price of our common stock at March 31, 2010, was $43,900.

Ronald P. Fetzer

On April 12, 2010, we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Fetzer to serve as our Interim Chief Financial Officer. Mr. Fetzer’s compensation for his servies is $3,850 per week plus reimbursement of reasonable business expenses. Mr. Fetzer can be terminated by any time without cause by the Company upon ten (10) days’ notice. Mr. Fetzer agreed to standard confidentiality, work-for-hire, and non-solicitation restrictions pursuant to the Agreement.

Diana Bourke

On March 24, 2010, Ms. Diana Bourke was appointed to serve as our Chief Operations Officer at an annual base salary of $250,000. Ms. Bourke does not have an employment agreement with the Company.

Stefan Chopin

On March 13, 2008, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Chopin. The Agreement provides that the Company will have cause to terminate Mr. Chopin if (a) he fails to substantially perform his job related duties, (b) he engages in criminal acts (e.g., embezzlement or fraud) or unprofessional conduct which is injurious to the Company, (c) he is convicted or pleads guilty to a felony or misdemeanor involving theft, larceny, or moral turpitude; or (d) he is grossly negligent in the performance of his duties. If Mr. Chopin is terminated for cause he will only be entitled to his earned but unpaid base salary, bonus and benefits up to his date of termination. On January 25, 2010, we amended Mr. Chopin’s agreement making him eligible to receive an additional $10,000 in bonus opportunity based on his 2009 annual performance in exchange for additional non-solicit and non-competition provisions.

Under the terms of Mr. Chopin’s Agreement, Mr. Chopin will receive a minimum annual salary of $250,000 and a discretionary annual bonus. In the event his employment is terminated without cause by the Company, he shall receive 12 months salary from the last date of employment. In the event of a “change of control” or if Mr. Chopin’s employment is terminated without cause by the Company, his stock options and other awards shall immediately vest and remain exercisable by him for the lesser of the original term of the stock option grant or award or five years. A “change of control” means: (a) the acquisition of fifty percent (50%) or more of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock or voting securities; (b) the sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets which is approved by the Company’s stockholders; or (c) the reorganization, merger or consolidation of the Company into another entity, approved by the Company’s stockholders. The Agreement also contains a standard confidentiality and twelve month non-solicitation and non-competition provisions which are further defined in the amendment dated January 25, 2010.

DIRECTOR COMPENSATION

The Company uses a combination of cash and stock-based incentive compensation to attract and retain qualified candidates to serve on the Board of Directors. In setting director compensation, the Company considers the significant amount of time that directors expend in fulfilling their duties to the Company, as well as the skill-level required by the Company of members of the Board of Directors.

Cash Compensation Paid to Board Members

For 2009, members of the Board who are not employees of the Company are entitled to receive an annual cash retainer of $10,000. Directors are also eligible to receive $5,000 per year for serving on each of the Audit Committee and the Compensation Committee. The Chairman of the Audit Committee and the Chairman of the Compensation Committee are also eligible to receive additional compensation $7,500 and $2,500, respectively.

The Chairman of the Board’s compensation was set at $50,000 per year and he was also granted 38,462 shares of restricted stock which vest in three equal installments over three years. Directors who are employees of the Company receive no compensation for their service as directors. Cash compensation is paid to members of the Board on a semi-annual basis.

In 2009, the Company requested, in an effort to preserve the financial resources of that Company, that members of the Board receive their compensation for service for the period of January 1, 2009 through June 30, 2009 in stock options rather than cash compensation. Messrs. Feinstein, Maged and O’Neill all agreed to receive their compensation for such period in stock options based on the grant date fair value of the options and Mr. Mellinger and Ms. DeMarse elected to defer their compensation initially, but have since received it.

Stock Options

Directors are currently eligible to receive stock options every three years under the 2005 Plan, which replaced the 1996 Stock Option Plan (the “1996 Plan”), the 1999 Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Plan”) and the 1999 Outside Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the “1999 Directors Plan”). Each new non-employee director is granted, at the time of his or her appointment and on each third anniversary thereafter, a nonstatutory option to purchase 15,000 shares of Common Stock. The exercise price of each of these options is equal to the fair market value of Common Stock on the date of grant. These options vest equally over a three-year period. The table below summarizes the options and restricted stock granted to directors for the year ended December 31, 2009.


Name	Grant Date	All Other Option Awards: Number of Securities Underlying Options (#)	Number of Securities Underlying Restricted Stock Grants (#)	Exercise or Base Price of Awards (1)		Grant Date Fair Value
Mark Maged	7/17/09	29,850	—	$	1.35	$	25,000(2)
	8/3/09	—	33,784	$	1.48	$	50,000(3)

William J. O’Neill, Jr.	7/17/09	13,440	—	$	1.35	$	11,250(2)

(1)	The amounts shown represent the closing market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant.

(2)	The amounts shown represent the grant date fair value of the options awarded to the Director based on the cash value of services rendered. This expense was recognized entirely in 2009 as the options vested immediately.

(3)	The amounts shown represent the total grant date fair value determined by the closing market value of our Common Stock on the date of grant of the restricted shares awarded to the Director. This expense is being recognized over a three-year vesting term.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.

Related Persons Transactions Policy

The Board of Directors is charged with approving transactions involving our directors, executive officers or any nominees for director and any stockholder holding more than 5% of our Common Stock and their immediate family members. There were no such transactions during our last fiscal year. The types of transactions covered by this policy are transactions, arrangements or relationships or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships (including any indebtedness or guarantee of indebtedness) in which (1) we (including any of our subsidiaries) were, or will be a participant, (2) the aggregate amount involved exceeds $120,000 in any calendar year, and (3) any related person had, has or will have a direct or indirect interest (other than solely as a result of being a director or holding less than a 10 percent beneficial ownership interest in another entity), and which is required by the rules and regulations of the SEC to be disclosed in our public filings. The Board of Directors will only approve transactions with related persons when the Board of Directors determines such transactions are in our best interests or the best interests of our stockholders. In determining whether to approve or ratify a related person transaction, the Board of Directors will apply the following standards and such other standards it deems appropriate:

•

whether the related person transaction is on terms no less favorable than terms generally available to an unaffiliated third-party under the same or similar circumstances;

•

whether the transaction is material to us or the related person;

•

the role the related person has played in arranging the related person transaction;

•

the structure of the related person transaction;

•

the extent of the related person’s interest in the transaction; and

•

whether there are alternative sources for the subject matter of the transaction.

Independence of the Board of Directors

Our Board of Directors has concluded that a majority of our Board of Directors, specifically Ms. DeMarse and Messrs. Connolly, Feinstein, Maged, Mellinger, O’Neill and Schwartz, qualify as “independent” within the meaning of the director independence standards of The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. (“Nasdaq”). In reaching its conclusions regarding Messrs Connolly and Schwartz, the Board did consider the fact that they were appointed in accordance with the rights of the holders of our Series B Preferred (currently Bain Capital Ventures) to cause two directors to be elected to the Board of Directors. Messrs. Schwartz and Connolly are principals of Bain Capital Ventures as discussed above.
