ITEM 11: EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
COMPENSATION DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Overview
     The following Compensation Discussion and Analysis reviews the Company’s and Compensation and Plan Administration Committee’s (the “Committee”) executive compensation program, policies and decisions with respect to the Company’s executive officers listed in the Summary Compensation Table below (the “named executive officers”). For fiscal year 2007, the named executive officers consisted of:
    Jordan M. Copland, Interim Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of the Company;
 
    Thomas Costabile, President and Chief Operating Officer of EDC;
 
    Matthew K. Behrent, Executive Vice President, Corporate Development of the Company;
 
    Roger J. Morgan, Executive Vice President, International Operations of EDC;
 
    James Caparro, Former Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company and EDC; and
 
    John V. Madison, Former Executive Vice President, Business Development, Sales and Marketing of EDC.
Executive Compensation Philosophy and Objectives
     Philosophy: The Compensation philosophy of the Company is to structure the Company’s various compensation programs in a way that assists the Company in attracting and retaining a talented employee group and senior management team as well as a Board of Directors. The Company’s compensation programs must also consider the returns generated to its shareholders. The Company strives for internal compensation equity among employees and differentiates based on factors including seniority, experience, performance, and value to the Company, all within the fabric of the performance of the Company’s Common Stock and operations as a whole.
     Compensation Objectives: The Committee bases its executive compensation programs on the same objectives that guide the Company in establishing all of its compensation programs:
    Compensation should be based on the level of job responsibility, individual performance, and Company performance. As employees progress to higher levels in the organization, an increasing proportion of their pay should be linked to Company performance and stockholder returns, because such employees are more able to affect the Company’s results.

6


Table of Contents

    Compensation should reflect the value of the job in the marketplace. To attract and retain a highly skilled work force, the Company must remain competitive with the pay of other premier employers who compete with the Company for talent.
 
    Compensation should reward performance. Our programs should deliver top-tier compensation given top-tier individual and Company performance; likewise, where individual performance falls short of expectations and/or Company performance lags the industry, the programs should deliver lower-tier compensation. In addition, the objectives of pay-for-performance and retention must be balanced.
 
    Compensation should foster success in the relevant industry measured both in the short-term as well as the long-term. While the Company is currently focused on the manufacturing and distribution of entertainment products, previously it was involved in various aspects of the telecommunications and technology industry, and certain executives were primarily focused on the Company’s acquisition strategy. Employees at higher levels have an increasing proportion of their compensation tied to longer-term performance because they are in a position to have greater influence on longer-term results.
 
    To be effective, performance-based compensation programs should enable employees to easily understand how their efforts can affect their pay, both directly through individual performance accomplishments and indirectly through contributing to the Company’s achievement of its strategic and operational goals. No matter how comprehensive a performance measure may be in theory, if in practice employees cannot easily understand how it works or how it relates to their daily jobs, it will not be an effective motivator.
 
    Compensation and benefit programs should be egalitarian. While the programs and individual pay levels will always reflect differences in job responsibilities, geographies, and marketplace considerations, the overall structure of compensation and benefit programs should be broadly similar across the organization.
     Use of Market Data and Compensation Consultant: In 2006, the Company relied on outside independent consultants to collect, analyze and provide comparable market data. Other than as described below, the Company did not rely on outside independent consultants in 2007.
     In 2007, the Committee retained Greg Flores, a compensation consultant with experience in the entertainment industry, to assist it in establishing certain retention bonuses for key executive officers. See “Retention Bonuses” and “Employment and Severance Agreements” below for more detail regarding the retention bonuses. Mr. Flores reported directly to the Committee. He has performed no other work for the Company and has no relationship with any of the Company’s officers or directors. In addition, the Committee consulted informally, but without retaining, Pearl Meyer & Partners to provide input on compensation and bonus issues, as well as the technical aspects of executive pay programs. Pearl Meyer & Partners has provided compensation consulting services to the Committee in prior years.
The Committee’s Processes
     The Committee has established a number of processes to assist it in ensuring that the Company’s executive compensation programs are achieving its objectives. Among those are:
    Assessment of Company Performance. The Committee uses Company-wide performance measures in establishing total compensation ranges. The Committee considers various measures of Company and industry performance, including earnings per share, net income, EBITDA, market capitalization and other financial measures to assess Company performance. In a period where Company performance is declining substantially, the Company-wide performance measures will typically supersede the assessment of individual performance and make it less likely that executive bonuses are paid. The size of the bonus pool is also adjusted to reflect the Company’s market performance both independently and in comparison to its peer group.

Table of Contents

    Assessment of Individual Performance. Individual performance has an impact on the compensation of all employees, including the named executive officers. Once the size of the bonus pool has been established, the Committee receives a performance assessment and compensation recommendation for each executive officer from the CEO. The Committee also exercises its independent judgment to determine the appropriateness of the CEO’s recommendations. The performance evaluation of the named executive officers is based on achievement of management objectives and expectations established throughout the year, including meeting or exceeding Board approved revenue and EBITDA forecasts by the executive and his or her organization, his or her contribution to the Company’s performance, and other leadership accomplishments. In addition to these financial objectives, the CEO is evaluated on integrity, leadership, judgment, vision, operational management, Board relations and external relations. The Committee determines the CEO’s bonus.
 
    Total Compensation Review. The Committee annually reviews each executive officer’s base pay, bonus, and level of current equity incentives. In addition to these primary compensation elements, the Committee reviews the perquisites and other compensation and payments that would be required under various severance and change-in-control scenarios. Following the 2007 review, the Committee determined that these elements of compensation were reasonable in the aggregate, particularly given the Company’s current financial results and declining industry.
     In addition to the processes described above, the compensation of those of the Company’s executive officers who joined the Company in connection with the EDC acquisition was structured as part of the terms of the EDC acquisition through the negotiation of employment agreements and other arrangements relating to ownership of the EDC subsidiary, certain of which were revised in 2007 as further described below. While the Committee’s compensation objectives and processes were taken into account during these negotiations, the overall goals of the acquisition and post-closing integration of the EDC business with the Company’s existing operations were taken into consideration as well.
Changes relating to Executive Officers During 2007
     In November 2007, the Company announced that James Caparro, then President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, had transitioned from the position of President and Chief Executive Officer to the newly created position of Non-Executive Chairman of EDC. Mr. Caparro continued to serve as Non-Executive Chairman of EDC for the remainder of fiscal 2007 and through March 2008. In connection with this transition, Mr. Caparro and the Company entered into a mutual separation agreement that provided for payment to Mr. Caparro of eight semi-monthly payments of $31,250, a single payment of $62,500 on or before March 15, 2008 and a lump sum payment of $687,500 in January 2008, and payment of certain accrued benefits and continued health care coverage through October 31, 2008.
     In connection with Mr. Caparro’s transition, Jordan M. Copland was appointed to the position of Interim Chief Executive Officer of the Company and Chief Executive Officer of EDC. Mr. Copland continued in his positions as Chief Financial Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of the Company as well. Thomas Costabile was promoted by the Company to the position of President of EDC, also continuing in his current position as Chief Operating Officer of EDC. Finally, Matthew K. Behrent was promoted to the position of Executive Vice President, Corporate Development. No changes were made to the terms of employment of Messrs. Copland, Costabile and Behrent in November 2007. Following these changes, in December 2007, (1) Mr. Copland’s employment agreement was amended, (2) the Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Behrent and (3) the Company and EDC entered into an agreement with Mr. Costabile supplementing his original employment agreement dated May 9, 2005.
     The Committee approved the employment agreement for Mr. Behrent to confirm certain terms of his continued employment, including his new title and duties, to provide for his relinquishment of any contractual right to receive stock options upon future acquisitions or dispositions, to provide certain severance and change in control protections to him consistent with terms negotiated with other executive officers and to provide for a retention bonus as described below. Taking into account the Company’s review of strategic alternatives for the EDC business in 2007 which could result in a change in control transaction, the Committee believed it appropriate to provide Mr. Behrent with full severance and change in control provisions as well as a retention bonus, to ensure that he remains with the Company through any such strategic transaction. Similarly, Mr. Copland’s agreement was amended to

Table of Contents

address certain inadvertent errors made in his original agreement in the definitional provisions, and to conform certain provisions, including those regarding termination, severance and a retention bonus, to the provisions included in Mr. Behrent’s employment agreement. Finally, the Company provided Mr. Costabile with a supplement to his original employment agreement to reflect his additional role as President of EDC and to provide him with a retention bonus.
     Effective December 1, 2007, John V. Madison and EDC entered into a mutual separation agreement which provided that Mr. Madison’s last day of employment as Executive Vice President, Business Development, Sales and Marketing of EDC was January 11, 2008. In addition, the agreement provided for a lump sum payment of $125,000 and continued health care costs through November 1, 2008.
     See “Employment and Severance Agreements” starting on page 15 for further detail regarding the terms of these agreements and the retention bonuses described below.
Retention Bonuses
     The employment agreement and amended agreements entered into with Messrs. Behrent and Copland during fiscal 2007 provide for the payment of a retention bonus to each executive if they remain with the Company through September 1, 2008 or, in the case of a change in control occurring prior to September 1, 2008, remain employed by the Company or any successor to the Company for a ninety-day period following such change in control or September 1, 2008, whichever comes first. The amended employment agreement entered into with Mr. Costabile during fiscal 2007 provides for the payment of a retention bonus if Mr. Costabile remains with the Company through November 1, 2008 or, in the case of a change in control occurring prior to November 1, 2008, remains employed by the Company or any successor to the Company for a ninety-day period following such change in control or November 1, 2008, whichever comes first. The Committee, with the assistance of Greg Flores, an outside compensation consultant, structured the retention bonuses to help ensure that these executives, who are critical to the continued operation of the Company, remain employed during the Board’s review of strategic alternatives. In order for any such effort to be successful, existing management must be actively involved in both the continued operation of the business and in the strategic alternative analysis. The retention bonus provides added incentive for these executives to stay actively involved.

     For 2007, the compensation of the named executive officers contained the same primary components as were provided to other levels of management — base salary and cash bonus award potential.
     The following is a discussion of the Committee’s considerations in establishing each of the compensation components for the named executive officers in 2007.
Base Salary
     Base salary is the guaranteed element of a named executive officers’ annual cash compensation. The value of base salary reflects the named executive officers’ long-term performance, skill set and the market value of that skill set. In reviewing base salaries for 2007, the Committee considered the following factors:
  The corporate “merit budget,” meaning the Company’s overall budget for base salary increases. No merit increases were given to the named executive officers during 2007, primarily as a result of cost containment initiatives given the Company’s financial performance for the year and the declining demand for the Company’s products.
 
  Internal relativity, meaning the relative pay differences for different job levels.
 
  Individual performance. Historically, base salary increases have been driven by individual performance assessments. As noted above, no individual performance increases were given to the named executive officers during 2007. Given the Company’s current financial and industry conditions, individual performance did not play as significant a role in setting compensation during fiscal 2007. However, as

    a result of performance assessments during fiscal 2007, Messrs. Behrent, Copland and Costabile assumed new roles and Mr. Caparro and Mr. Madison left the Company.
 
  Consideration of the mix of overall compensation.
Cash Incentive Bonuses
     The Company has historically maintained a cash incentive bonus program tied to Company financial performance in order to better align employees’ performance with the Company’s performance for the current year. Cash incentive bonuses for all management employees worldwide are determined by the Committee in light of such performance. Recognizing that the Company is in a declining and challenging market, it remains management’s responsibility to help establish and meet Company goals approved by the Board. For fiscal 2007, after evaluating the declining market and overall business environment, the Committee elected not to implement the approved performance-based executive bonus plan for the year, but maintained discretion to pay bonuses for individual performance.
     At the end of fiscal 2007, the Committee reviewed the overall performance of all named executive officers and elected not to pay any cash incentive bonuses.
Equity Incentives — EDC Profits Interests
     Upon the completion of the 2005 acquisition of the U.S. and central European CD and DVD manufacturing and distribution operations from Universal Music Group, EDC issued profits interests units to certain executives, including Messrs Caparro, Costabile, and Morgan. Half of these units are Tier 1 Profits Interests, one quarter are Tier 2 Profits Interests and one quarter are Tier 3 Profits Interests, and the total amount of all profits interests are similarly allocated among the tiers. Holders of the profits interests as a group are entitled to up to 27.56% of certain distributions made by EDC, which distributions are subject to the Board of Directors’ discretion and other conditions. The profits interests are designed to work like options, and they vest over a two-year period or upon a change in control of EDC. Employment agreements and the profits interests granted to management of EDC were negotiated as part of the negotiation of the acquisition of EDC. The profits interest structure was used instead of stock options because at the time of the acquisition, a limited liability company could not grant options without tax risks. EDC was structured as a limited liability company to maximize the utilization of the Company’s tax loss carryforwards. As such, the profits interest structure was created to incentivise management in lieu of stock options.
     As a consequence of the profit interest structure, Messrs Caparro, Costabile and Morgan have not been issued any stock options or restricted stock in the Company. See “Outstanding Equity Awards and Fiscal Year End” below for additional information regarding the EDC profits interests and units held by Messrs Caparro, Costabile and Morgan.
Equity Incentives — Stock Options
     Stock options align employee incentives with stockholders because options have value only if the stock price increases over time. The Company’s 10-year options, granted at the market price on the date of grant, help focus employees on long-term growth. In addition, options are intended to help retain key employees because they typically vest over time (usually three years) and, if not exercised, are forfeited if the employee leaves the Company. The three-year vesting also helps keep employees focused on long-term performance. The Company does not reprice options; likewise, if the stock price declines after the grant date, the Company does not replace options.
     Each year, the Committee reviews key employees’ overall compensation, including the grant of stock options. Due to the Company’s decision to explore strategic alternatives, the steep decline in the price of the Company’s Common Stock and taking into account the other retention mechanisms in place, no option grants were made to any employees, including the named executive officers, during 2007.
     Mr. Behrent was contractually entitled to grants of stock options upon certain acquisition or divestiture transactions pursuant to an agreement entered into in 2005. Mr. Bailey, the non-executive Chairman of the Board of the Company has a similar agreement in place as Mr. Behrent. Specifically, Mr. Behrent was entitled to receive

10


Table of Contents

options to purchase one share per $333.33 in transaction value (or the equivalent of 30,000 stock options for every $10 million of transaction value) subject to an aggregate cap of 150,000 options. Such options were granted upon disclosure of either the signing or closing of the transaction, whichever occurred first, and were priced based on the closing stock price on the trading day immediately preceding the date of such announcement, i.e., the pre-announcement price. In 2006, Mr. Behrent received options pursuant to these agreements. In 2007, in connection with the negotiation of his employment agreement, Mr. Behrent agreed to the relinquishment of the existing right to receive options upon future acquisitions or dispositions. Further, Mr. Behrent subsequently agreed to the cancellation of all outstanding stock options held by him. Mr. Copland also agreed to the cancellation of all stock options held by him in connection with the amendment of his employment agreement during 2007. The stock options cancelled had exercise prices that were significantly above the market price of the Common Stock at the time of cancellation. No separate consideration was paid for their cancellation. Cancellation allowed the Company to eliminate the compensation expense related to these options.
Employee and Post-Employment Benefits
     The Company offers core employee benefits coverage in order to:
    provide our global workforce with a reasonable level of financial support in the event of illness or injury, and
 
    enhance productivity and job satisfaction through programs that focus on work/life balance.
     The benefits available are the same for all U.S. employees and executive officers and include medical and dental coverage, short-term and long-term disability coverage (provided that certain long-term disability benefits are provided only to executive officers at the Company’s expense), and life insurance. In addition, the Company’s 401(k) Plan provides a reasonable level of retirement income reflecting employees’ careers with the Company. All U.S. employees, including executive officers, are eligible to participate in these plans. The cost of both employee and post-employment benefits is partially borne by the employee, including each executive officer.
Deferred Compensation Program
     The Company maintains a deferred compensation plan pursuant to which certain employees may defer receipt of part or all of their cash compensation. The program allows eligible employees to save for retirement in a tax-effective way at minimal cost to the Company. None of the named executive officers deferred any portion of their salary under the deferred compensation plan in 2007.
Severance Benefits
     Severance benefits are provided from time to time to executive officers as a result of negotiations of their employment agreements. The Committee does not have a standard program applicable to all executives, but has negotiated severance or other enhanced benefits for named executive officers upon termination of their employment without cause, for good reason, or due to termination for a period of time subsequent to a change in control. Such arrangements are negotiated from time to time in an effort to provide appropriate incentives to executives joining the Company and are negotiated based on the Committee’s understanding of standard market practice in the entertainment or distribution industry, or, for prior arrangements, other relevant industries and terms available to other executives of the Company. Further, with respect to payments due to termination subsequent to a change in control, the Committee believes such arrangements are appropriate in that they protect income for executives who would likely be involved in due diligence decisions regarding and/or successful implementation of merger and acquisition activity and who are at risk for job loss if a takeover occurs. The Board of Directors believes that it is in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to maintain such agreements in order for the Board to be able to receive and rely upon the executive’s advice and counsel as to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders without concern that the executive might be distracted or influenced by the personal uncertainties and risks created by merger and/or acquisition proposals or threats. The terms of these arrangements were approved by the Board of Directors as reasonable termination compensation for the named executive officers in order to encourage management to remain with the Company and to continue to devote full attention to the Company’s

11

business during any potential change in control activity. In addition, severance agreements for Mr. Caparro and Mr. Costabile were negotiated as part of the negotiation of the acquisition of EDC.
     Upon Mr. Caparro’s transition from his positions of Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company, the Company entered into a mutual separation agreement with him providing for the payment to Mr. Caparro of eight semi-monthly payments of $31,250, a single payment of $62,500 on or before March 15, 2008 and a lump sum payment of $687,500 in January 2008, and payment of certain accrued benefits and continued health care coverage. The mutual separation agreement with respect to Mr. Madison’s termination of employment provided for a lump sum payment of $125,000 and continued health care coverage. These mutual separation agreements replaced the provisions of these named executive officers’ original employment agreements that provided for payments upon termination.
     See “Employment and Severance Agreements” below for a detailed description of these negotiated severance benefits and separation payments.
Accounting and Tax Considerations
     In connection with the negotiation of compensation arrangements and the structuring of the Company’s compensation packages, the Committee takes into account the accounting and tax impact to the Company of the various structures under consideration. The Committee also considers the application of the Internal Revenue Code’s disallowance of corporate deductions for annual compensation in excess of $1 million paid to certain executive officers of publicly held corporations, i.e. Section 162(m), when structuring compensation levels and forms of compensation. While this cap would be applicable to the Company’s named executive officers, their nonexempt compensation levels for 2007 were below this cap. When appropriate, the Committee intends to use performance based compensation within the meaning of 162(m) to avoid any limit on deductibility.
     Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code is a relatively new federal tax provision. 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, the executive would be subject to adverse tax treatment, including accelerated income recognition (in the first year that benefits are no longer subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture) and a 20% penalty tax pursuant to Section 409A. The Internal Revenue Service has extended the transition relief period for amending plans to comply with Section 409A through December 31, 2008. The Company is continuing to evaluate the impact of Section 409A on its various compensation and benefits plans, programs and arrangements. It will modify them as a result of that evaluation to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A. All compensation agreements entered into or modified during 2007 were structured to comply with Section 409A.
Compensation Committee Report
     The Compensation and Plan Administration Committee (“we” or “the committee”) evaluates and establishes compensation for executive officers and oversees the deferred compensation plan, the Company’s stock plans, and other management incentive, benefit and perquisite programs. Management has the primary responsibility for the Company’s financial statements and reporting process, including the disclosure of executive compensation. With this in mind, we have reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis included in this Form 10-K/A and are satisfied that it fairly and completely represents the philosophy, intent, and actions of the committee with regard to the named executive officers. We recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Form 10-K/A for filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Employment and Severance Agreements
     Caparro Separation Agreement. On November 5, 2007, the Company and Mr. Caparro entered into a mutual separation agreement (the “Separation Agreement”). The Separation Agreement provided for Mr. Caparro’s transition from the position of Chief Executive Officer of the Company to a newly created position of Non-Executive Chairman of EDC, to serve in such position through March 2008. Mr. Caparro’s last day of employment as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company and EDC was November 5, 2007. In his role as Non-Executive Chairman of EDC, Mr. Caparro helped manage the transition process, played an active advisory role in the management of customer relationships and assisted in the evaluation of strategic alternatives for EDC.
     Under the Separation Agreement, Mr. Caparro received (a) eight semi-monthly payments of salary of $31,250 commencing in November 2007, (b) a single payment of $62,500 on or before March 15, 2008 and (c) a lump sum payment of $687,500 in January 2008 (collectively, the “Installment Payments”). Mr. Caparro is entitled to receive all accrued and vested benefits owed to him under the Company’s 401(k) and deferred compensation plans in accordance with such plans. Mr. Caparro and any of his dependent family members currently participating in the Company’s health and welfare plan or other health insurance program (the “Health Insurance Program”) are entitled to continue to participate in the Health Insurance Program at the Company’s expense until October 31, 2008, or in the alternative, the Company will pay the cost of continued participation pursuant to the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 through such date.
     The Separation Agreement superseded the terms of Mr. Caparro’s Employment Agreement, entered into on May 9, 2005, other than provisions relating to confidential information, non-competition and non-solicitation and ownership of intellectual property. Under Mr. Caparro’s employment agreement, which was in effect during much of fiscal 2007, Mr. Caparro received an annual base salary of $750,000 and up to $20,000 per year for social club fees. The Separation Agreement did not modify or alter any agreements relating to Mr. Caparro’s ownership of profits interest or units of EDC.
     Copland Employment Agreement. The Company is party to an employment agreement with Mr. Copland, dated December 18, 2006 and amended on December 27, 2007 (as amended, the “Copland Agreement”), which specifies the terms under which Mr. Copland serves as Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer of the Company. Mr. Copland also currently serves as Interim Chief Executive Officer, Treasurer and Secretary of the Company. Under the Copland Agreement, Mr. Copland’s annual base salary is $325,000, which is subject to annual

review. The Copland Agreement provides for a monthly car allowance of $700. In addition, the Copland Agreement provides for a “retention bonus” in an amount equal to Mr. Copland’s base salary, payable in a lump sum, if he remains employed by the Company through September 1, 2008 or, if a change in control occurs prior to September 1, 2008, and he remains employed by the Company or any successor to the Company following the change in control through the 90-day anniversary of such change in control.
     In the event that Mr. Copland’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Copland with good reason, Mr. Copland is entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to his then current base salary, unless termination has occurred for good reason as a result of the sale of the assets or equity of EDC and he has received a “retention bonus”, (ii) his accrued but unpaid base salary, (iii) his accrued but unpaid vacation pay, (iv) if he was employed with the Company for at least six months of the bonus year and then participating in the annual bonus plan, a pro-rated annual bonus, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal practices at the end of such bonus year, (v) any other compensation payments or benefits which have accrued and are payable, and (vi) medical and dental coverage for Mr. Copland and his dependents for 12 months.
     If Mr. Copland’s employment is terminated within three years after a change in control of the Company (see below for definition of change in control), for any reason other than for cause, Mr. Copland is entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to 250% of his base salary at the time of termination (or if greater, his base salary prior to the change in control), provided that, if Mr. Copland has received a “retention bonus” payment in the calendar year in which such severance benefit becomes payable, the amount of the severance benefit will be reduced by the amount of such “retention bonus” and if the termination constitutes resignation for good reason as a result of the sale of the assets or equity of EDC, the severance payment will be equal to 100% of Mr. Copland’s base salary, (ii) his accrued but unpaid base salary, (iii) his accrued but unpaid vacation pay, (iv) if he was employed with the Company for at least six months of the bonus year and he is then participating in the Company’s annual bonus plan, a pro-rated annual bonus, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal practices at the end of such bonus year, (v) any other compensation payments or benefits which have accrued and are payable and (vi) medical and dental coverage for Mr. Copland and his dependents for 12 months.
     The following table provides the estimated value of the benefits that Mr. Copland would have received had his employment been terminated on the last business day of 2007 under the scenarios described below or had a change in control of either the Company or EDC occurred on the last business day of 2007. The table does not include benefits that are generally available to all salaried employees.

     Costabile Employment Agreement. On May 9, 2005, the Company and Mr. Costabile entered into an employment agreement, which was supplemented by a letter agreement dated December 27, 2007 (as supplemented, the “Costabile Agreement”). The Costabile Agreement specifies the terms under which Mr. Costabile serves as President and Chief Operating Officer of EDC. The Costabile Agreement sets Mr. Costabile’s annual base salary as $450,000, subject to annual review, and provides that he is entitled to receive up to $10,000 per year for social club fees. He is also eligible to participate in the Executive Bonus Plan for EDC pursuant to which Mr. Costabile may earn a bonus of up to 100% of his base salary if EDC performs at 100% of the target established by EDC’s Board. Pursuant to the Costabile Employment Agreement, Mr. Costabile was paid a $200,000 signing bonus, the after-tax proceeds of which he used to purchase Class B Units of EDC during 2005. In addition, under the Costabile Agreement Mr. Costabile was required to invest an additional $200,000 to purchase Class B Units of EDC, which he purchased during 2005. The Costabile Agreement also provides for the payment to Mr. Costabile of a “retention bonus” of $100,000, payable in a lump sum if he remains employed by EDC through November 1, 2008, or, if a change in control as defined in the Costabile Supplement occurs prior to November 1, 2008 (see below for definition of change in control), he remains employed by EDC or any successor to EDC following such change in control through the 90-day anniversary of such change in control.
     Under the Costabile Agreement, Mr. Costabile received profits interests in EDC, which represent the right to receive EDC’s distributed profits after the Company has received a return of its equity capital contribution and certain internal rate of return hurdles and other profitability conditions have been met. One-third of the profits interests vested during each of 2005, 2006 and 2007.
     If Mr. Costabile’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Costabile for good reason, Mr. Costabile is entitled to receive (i) an amount equal to twice his base salary at the time of termination plus the amount of his bonus under the Executive Bonus Plan for the prior fiscal year, payable in 24 equal monthly installments, and (ii) continued medical benefits for Mr. Costabile and his dependents for a period of 12 months following termination.
     The following table provides the estimated value of the benefits that Mr. Costabile would have received had his employment been terminated on the last business day of 2007 under the scenarios described below or had a change in control of either the Company or EDC occurred on the last business day of 2007. The table does not include benefits that are generally available to all salaried employees.

     Behrent Employment Agreement. On December 27, 2007, the Company and Mr. Behrent entered into a letter agreement (the “Behrent Agreement”) providing the terms and conditions of his continued employment as Executive Vice President, Corporate Development of the Company. The Behrent Agreement replaced the Severance Agreement entered into between Mr. Behrent and the Company on August 26, 2005. Under the Behrent Agreement, Mr. Behrent’s annual base salary is $260,000, which is subject to annual review. The Behrent Agreement provides for a monthly car allowance of $700. In addition, the Behrent Agreement provides for a “retention bonus” in amount equal to his base salary payable in a lump sum if he remains employed by the Company through September 1, 2008 or, in the event a change in control occurs prior to September 1, 2008, he remains employed by the Company or any successor to the Company following the change in control, through the ninety day anniversary of the change in control.
     In the event that Mr. Behrent’s employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Behrent with good reason, Mr. Behrent is entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to his then current base salary, (ii) his accrued but unpaid base salary, (iii) his accrued but unpaid vacation pay, (iv) if he was employed with the Company for at least six months of the bonus year and then participating in the annual bonus plan, a pro-rated annual bonus, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal practices at the end of such bonus year, (v) any other compensation payments or benefits which have accrued and are payable, and (vi) medical and dental coverage for Mr. Behrent and his dependents for 12 months.
     If Mr. Behrent’s employment is terminated within three years after a change in control of the Company (see below for definition of change in control), for any reason other than for cause, Mr. Behrent is entitled to receive: (i) a lump sum severance payment equal to 250% of his base salary at the time of termination (or if greater, his base salary prior to the change in control), provided that, if Mr. Behrent has received a “retention bonus” payment in the calendar year in which such severance benefit becomes payable, the amount of the severance benefit will be reduced by the amount of such “retention bonus”, (ii) his accrued but unpaid base salary, (iii) his accrued but unpaid vacation pay, (iv) if he was employed with the Company for at least six months of the bonus year and he is then participating in the Company’s annual bonus plan, a pro-rated annual bonus, payable in accordance with the Company’s normal practices at the end of such bonus year, (v) any other compensation payments or benefits which have accrued and are payable and (vi) medical and dental coverage for Mr. Behrent and his dependents for 12 months.

     Morgan Service Agreement. On July 19, 2005, the Company and Mr. Morgan entered into a service agreement (the “Morgan Agreement”) which specifies the terms under which Mr. Morgan serves as Executive Vice President International Operations of Glenayre Electronics (UK) Ltd (“Glenayre (UK)”). The Company guarantees all of Glenayre (UK)’s obligations to Mr. Morgan under the Morgan Agreement. The Morgan Agreement sets Mr. Morgan’s annual base salary at £150,000 per year ($299,595 at an exchange rate of 1.9973 as of December 31, 2007). Glenayre (UK) also makes annual contributions equal to 20% of Mr. Morgan’s base salary to Mr. Morgan’s personal retirement plan. Under the Morgan Agreement, Mr. Morgan is also eligible to participate in the Executive Bonus Plan pursuant to which Mr. Morgan may earn a bonus of up to 100% of his base salary. Mr. Morgan may elect to have all or a portion of any bonuses paid into his personal retirement plan, in which case Glenayre (UK) will match 12% of the bonus Mr. Morgan allocates to his personal retirement account.
     Under the Morgan Agreement, Mr. Morgan is also reimbursed for 100% of the cost he incurs to maintain a medical insurance policy, and he also receives a £5,000 per year allowance for social club fees and a £15,000 per year car allowance. In addition, Mr. Morgan is the beneficiary of the following insurance policies, the premiums on which are paid by Glenayre (UK): (i) a £600,000 ($1,198,380 at an exchange rate of 1.9973 as of December 31, 2007) group life insurance policy, (ii) a group income protection policy covering 60% of Mr. Morgan’s base salary (during the period Mr. Morgan receives payments under this policy, Glenayre (UK) will continue to contribute an amount equal 20% of Mr. Morgan’s base salary to his personal retirement plan), (iii) personal accident coverage equal to two times his base salary and (iv) business travel insurance.
     Under the Morgan Agreement, Mr. Morgan received profits interests in EDC, which represent the right to receive EDC’s distributed profits after the Company has received a return of its equity capital contribution and certain internal rate of return hurdles and other profitability conditions have been met. One-third of the profits interests vested during each of 2005, 2006, and 2007.
     If Glenayre (UK) terminates Mr. Morgan’s employment without giving Mr. Morgan 12-months notice (other than termination for gross misconduct) or Mr. Morgan resigns under circumstances that amount to constructive dismissal, then Mr. Morgan is entitled to receive (i) any accrued and unpaid salary, bonus and vacation and (ii) a lump sum payment equal to 95% of the salary and benefits he would have received during the 12-month notice period. The Company may opt to continue providing Mr. Morgan with benefits during the 12-month period in lieu of making a cash payment to him for such benefits.

     The following table provides the estimated value of the benefits that Mr. Morgan would have received had his employment been terminated on the last business day of 2007 under the scenarios described below or had a change in control of either the Company or EDC occurred on the last business day of 2007. Because Mr. Morgan is based in the United Kingdom and is paid in pounds sterling, the amounts in the table are based upon the prevailing exchange rate from pounds sterling to U.S. dollars on December 31, 2007 of $1.9973 per pound. Furthermore, the table does not include benefits that are generally available to all salaried employees.

     Change in Control Definitions. For purposes of the Copland and Behrent Agreements and for purposes of Mr. Costabile’s “retention bonus”, a change in control is defined as (a) the acquisition of 25% or more of the Common Stock by any person (as defined in Federal securities laws); (b) the consummation of a merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction of the Company with any other corporation, entity or group, as a result of which the holders of the voting capital stock of the Company immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, share exchange or similar transaction, as a group, would receive less than 50% of the voting capital stock of the surviving or resulting corporation; (c) the consummation of an agreement providing for the sale or transfer (other than as security for obligations of the Company) of substantially all the operating assets of the Company; (d) individuals who, as of the date of the agreement, constitute the Board (the “Incumbent Board”) cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority of the Board; provided, however, that any individual becoming a director whose election, or nomination for election by the Company’s stockholders, 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, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board or pursuant to a negotiated settlement with any such person to avoid the threat of any such contest or solicitation.
