Notwithstanding this fixed term, the employment agreement automatically renews for successive one-year periods beginning on December 31, 2008 and on each December 31st thereafter, unless the Company or Mr. Bunger gives 90-day prior written notice of an intention to terminate employment on the last day of the then-current employment period.
     Under the employment agreement, Mr. Bunger will be paid a base annual salary of $525,000. The base salary will be reviewed annually by the Company’s board of directors or a committee of the board of directors. Mr. Bunger is eligible for an incentive bonus subject to the terms and conditions of the Company’s incentive bonus plan and as the Compensation Committee of the board of directors may determine. He is eligible for all equity-based employee benefit plans maintained by the Company including, but not limited to, the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan. He will also receive certain other benefits, including participation in all employee benefit plans, vacation and sick leave, and an automobile allowance of $600 per month.
     The Company may terminate the employment agreement for Cause (as defined in the agreement), including upon i) commission of an act of fraud or intentional misrepresentation or an act of embezzlement, misappropriation or conversion of assets or opportunities of the Company, ii) dishonesty or similar willful misconduct in the performance of duties, or iii) willful violation of any law, rule or regulation in connection with the performance of duties.

In addition, the Company will continue to pay certain health insurance amounts for Mr. Bunger and his dependents for a period of up to 36 months. Upon a Change in Control or a termination of employment (not including termination by the Company for Cause or voluntary termination by Mr. Bunger other than for Good Reason), his equity-based compensation awards shall vest in full in most circumstances.
