Audit Committee and Audit Committee Financial Expert
Our audit committee assists our board of directors in fulfilling its oversight responsibilities with respect to our accounting and financial reporting processes. Our audit committee has a written charter which is evaluated at least on an annual basis. Based on its current charter, the audit committee is responsible for, among other things:
    reviewing the policies and procedures adopted to fulfill our responsibilities regarding the fair and accurate presentation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP and applicable rules and regulations of the SEC;
 
    overseeing our accounting and financial reporting processes and audits of our financial statements;
 
    reviewing and discussing reports from our independent registered public accounting firm regarding: (a) all critical accounting policies and practices we use; (b) all alternative treatments of financial information within GAAP that have been discussed with management, including ramifications of the use of such alternative disclosures and treatments and the treatment preferred by the independent registered public accounting firm; and (c) other material written communications between the independent registered public accounting firm and management, such as any management letter or schedule of unadjusted differences;
 
    reviewing and discussing with management our audited financial statements and reviewing with management and our independent registered public accounting firm our financial statements (including disclosures made under “Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations”) prior to the filing with the SEC of any report containing such financial statements;
 
    preparing and approving the report required by the rules of the SEC to be included in our annual proxy statement;
 
    being responsible for the appointment, compensation, retention and oversight of our independent auditors;
 
    reviewing our annual audited financial statements with management, including any major issues regarding accounting and auditing principles and practices, and reviewing management’s evaluation of the adequacy and effectiveness of internal controls that could significantly affect our financial statements, as well as the adequacy and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and management’s reports;

6


 

    reviewing major changes to our auditing and accounting principles and practices as suggested by our independent registered public accounting firm or management;
 
    reviewing significant reports with management and management’s responses;
 
    advising our board of directors with respect to our policies and procedures regarding compliance with applicable laws and regulations; and
 
    reviewing all related party transactions for potential conflict of interest situations on an ongoing basis and approving all such transactions (if such transactions are not approved by another independent body of our board of directors).
Our audit committee is currently comprised of Mr. Felton and two independent, non-employee directors, namely, Mrs. Batts and Mr. Frazer. Other than Mr. Felton, all members of our audit committee are independent under the current requirements of the SEC rules and the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Mr. Frazer serves as the chairman of our audit committee. Our board of directors has affirmatively determined that each of the current members of our audit committee are “financially sophisticated” and that Mr. Frazer has all the necessary attributes to be an “audit committee financial expert” under the SEC rules and the Nasdaq Marketplace Rules. Stockholders should understand that this designation does not impose upon Mr. Frazer any duties, obligations or liability that are greater than what are generally imposed on him as a member of the audit committee and our 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 of the Board. Our audit committee met or acted by unanimous consent three times during 2007. Both our independent registered public accounting firm and management periodically meet privately with our audit committee.

(1)   Amounts shown in this column are based on grant-date fair values calculated in accordance with FAS 123(R) disregarding estimate of forfeitures related to service-based vesting conditions. See information on assumptions made in valuation in notes 2 and 9 to our December 31, 2007 financial statements included in the Company’s Form 10-K filed with the SEC on April 15, 2008. There were no forfeitures of stock options by the executives listed in the table above during 2007.
Our compensation methodology
The key components of our executive compensation program are currently:
    base salary;
 
    equity incentives;
 
    severance benefits;
 
    change in control benefits;
 
    life and health insurance benefits;
 
    long-term disability benefits; and
 
    retirement benefits.

8


 

We currently do not provide cash bonuses to our named executive officers and employees. However, in the future, we intend to expand our executive compensation program to include cash incentives. Therefore our current senior management agreements with senior executives have the flexibility to provide cash bonuses.
The compensation committee annually reviews total compensation and determines the appropriate level for each component based in part, but not exclusively, on competitive benchmarking consistent with our size and stage of growth, internal equity and consistency, and other considerations we deem relevant, such as rewarding extraordinary performance.
The compensation committee believes it is important to gather information from numerous internal and external sources, including information from an outside compensation specialist, who provides information regarding the compensation practices of companies of similar size and stage of growth, recommendations of the chief executive officer and additional information available from public sources. The compensation committee believes that while many factors should be considered, benchmarking is important especially when determining what compensation is adequate to attract and retain executives.
The compensation committee most recently reviewed compensation in July 2007. Prior to the compensation committee meeting, the chief executive officer reviewed information from the outside compensation specialist with our vice president for human resources along with a member of the compensation committee to provide recommendations to be given to the entire compensation committee.
Base salary
We provide the named executive officers and other executives with base salaries that we believe enable us to attract and retain the right individuals in a competitive environment and to reward individual performance related to our overall business objectives. While we are not aware of any direct competitors, we take into account the base compensation that is payable by companies that we believe to be of similar size and stage of growth and by other public companies with which we believe we generally compete for executives.
Equity incentives
We believe that for companies of our size and stage of growth, equity awards are a significant compensation-related motivator in attracting and retaining executive-level employees. Accordingly, we have provided our named executive officers and other executives with long-term equity incentive awards that provide incentives to those individuals to stay with us for long periods of time, which in turn should provide us with greater stability over such periods than we would experience without such awards.

9


 

We grant equity incentives to our named executive officers and other employees under our Amended and Restated 2000 Stock Incentive Plan, which we refer to as the 2000 Incentive Stock Plan. Historically, all of our long-term equity compensation awards have been in the form of stock options.
We account for equity compensation paid to our employees under the rules of SFAS No. 123R, which requires us to estimate and record compensation expense over the vesting period of the award. All equity awards to our employees, including executive officers, and to our directors have been granted and reflected in our consolidated financial statements, based upon the applicable accounting guidance, at fair market value on the grant date.
Generally, we grant long-term equity awards to our named executive officers upon commencement of their employment. Additionally, from time to time, we grant subsequent long-term equity awards to our named executive officers based upon a number of factors, including: rewarding executives for superior performance, maintaining a sufficient number of unvested long-term equity awards as a means to retain the services of such executives, providing increased motivation to such executives and ensuring that the total compensation provided by our long-term equity awards are competitive with those of other companies competing for our named executive officers.
Each option typically vests 25% after 90 days, with the remainder vesting 33% over the succeeding three year period. Our stock options have a 10-year contractual term. In general, the option grants are also subject to post-termination and change in control provisions. These terms are more fully described below in “—Employment agreements.”
Change in control and severance benefits
We provide the opportunity for certain of our named executive officers to receive additional compensation or benefits under the severance and change in control provisions contained in their employment agreements. We provide this opportunity to attract and retain the best possible executive talent. Our severance and change in control provisions for certain of our named executive officers are summarized below in “—Employment agreements.” Our analysis indicates that our severance and change in control provisions are competitive with general industry packages.
Executive benefits and perquisites
We provide the opportunity for our named executive officers and other executives to receive certain perquisites and general health and welfare benefits. We also offer participation in our defined contribution 401(k) plan. We do not currently provide a match on any eligible employee contributions to our 401(k) plan. We believe these benefits and perquisites are currently not above median competitive levels for comparable companies and are beneficial in attracting and retaining executive talent.

Employment agreements
Since 2002, we have had senior management agreements with Michael C. Crabtree, J. Thomas Badgett and James H. Price (and until his resignation on October 31, 2006, with David G. Everhart). The current senior management agreements were entered into as of September 12, 2007, and at this time we also entered into a senior management agreement with Lynn R. Youngs, our chief operating officer and Paul W. Boyd, our chief financial officer. Other than with respect to annual base salary, the current senior management agreements have identical terms as described below:
Term. The term of each current senior management agreement ends on September 12, 2010, provided that the term of the agreement will automatically renew until September 12, 2012, unless we or the executive notifies the other in writing at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the term of their desire to terminate the agreement.
Annual base salary. Each senior management agreement provides for an annual base salary, subject to annual increases as provided by the board of directors. Effective September 12, 2007, these annual base salaries are as follows:
             
Executive   Position   Base Salary
 
 
           
Michael C. Crabtree
  President, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board of Directors   $ 250,000  
 
           
Lynn R. Youngs
  Chief Operating Officer   $ 204,750  
 
           
James H. Price
  Senior Vice President, General Counsel and Director   $ 189,750  
 
           
Paul W. Boyd
  Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer   $ 182,500  
Annual bonus eligibility. The senior management agreements provide that the executive is eligible to receive an annual bonus (commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007).
Termination payments. If we terminate the executive’s employment for any reason other than for cause (as defined in the senior management agreement) or if the executive terminates his or her employment for good reason (as defined in the senior management agreement), the executive will receive severance benefits equal to 18 months of salary, accrued bonus and insurance benefits. In addition, all of the executive’s options will vest in accordance with their terms without reference to continuing employment.
Change in control payments. If a change in control (as defined in the senior management agreement) occurs, the executive will be deemed terminated, and if our stock is not readily tradable on an established securities market at the time of the change in control, and the shareholder approval required by the Internal Revenue Code has been obtained prior to the change in control, the executive will be entitled to receive $1,000,000 in lieu of the termination payments described above under “Termination Payments.” If our stock is readily tradable or the required shareholder approval has not been obtained, then the executive will be entitled to receive 299% of his or her “base amount” (as determined under the “golden parachute” rules in the Internal Revenue Code) at the time of the change in control.

11


 

Non-competition, confidentiality and non-solicitation. The senior management agreement restricts the executive from competing with us, disclosing our confidential information and soliciting any of our customers or employees for a period of three years following termination.
Potential payments upon termination of employment
The table below shows the estimated amount of payments and benefits that we would provide to the named executive officers assuming that their employment was terminated as of December 31, 2007 by us without cause or by the officer with good reason, or deemed terminated following a change in control as of December 31, 2007.

(1)   Mr. Gill ceased to be a director as of May 10, 2007.
On April 5, 2006, the board of directors approved a new Director Compensation Policy whereby all board of director members are entitled to receive reimbursement for reasonable travel expenses incurred. Independent directors are entitled to receive a $10,000 annual retainer, to be paid quarterly. The chairman of the audit committee is entitled to receive an additional $10,000, to be paid quarterly. Independent directors are also entitled to receive $1,000 for attending each board of director meeting in person and $250 for attending each board of director meeting telephonically. Independent directors also receive $500 for each committee meeting attended.
In addition to cash fees, travel reimbursement, and an annual retainer, independent directors are entitled to receive share-based compensation at the first meeting following their initial election to the board of director, and annually thereafter. Specifically, non-employee directors have the right to receive either a warrant to purchase 10,000 shares of common stock, or 10,000 shares of restricted stock. In May 2007 we reserved for issuance 100,000 shares of common stock under our Director Compensation Policy, of which 40,000 shares of our common stock in the form of restricted stock awards are outstanding.
Item 12. Security Ownership of Certain Beneficial Owners and Management and Related Stockholder Matters
The following table sets forth as of December 31, 2007, certain information with respect to the beneficial ownership of our common stock and preferred stock by (i) any person known by to us to be the beneficial owner of more than 5% of any class of our voting securities, (ii) each of the named executive officers; (iii) each director; and (iv) all current directors and executive officers as a group. Each of the persons named in the table has sole voting and investment power with respect to all shares beneficially owned by them, except as described in the footnotes following the table.

14


 

As of December 31, 2007, there were 49,481,964 shares of common stock and 34,211,254 shares of preferred stock outstanding. Each share of preferred stock is convertible into one share of common stock at any time at the option of the holder. The preferred stock has voting rights equal to the common stock on an as-converted basis, subject to the limitations on conversion described below.
The number and percentage of shares beneficially owned has been calculated pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act, and the information is not necessarily indicative of beneficial ownership for any other purpose. Under this rule, beneficial ownership includes any shares as to which each security holder has sole or shared voting power or investment power and also any shares which the security holder has the right to acquire within 60 days. For purposes of the table below, we deem shares subject to options or warrants that are currently exercisable or exercisable within 60 days of December 31, 2007 to be outstanding and to be beneficially owned by the person holding the options or warrants for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of that person, but we do not treat them as outstanding for the purpose of computing the percentage ownership of any other person. Except as otherwise noted, the persons or entities in this table have sole voting and investing power with respect to all of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them, subject to community property laws, where applicable.

Incentive stock plan
Pursuant to our 2000 Incentive Stock Plan, all key employees, including officers, whether or not our directors are eligible to receive grants of options of our common stock. Our compensation committee of the board of directors administers the 2000 Incentive Stock Plan and selects the individuals who will receive grants and awards under the plan. We have reserved 10,000,000 shares of our common stock under the 2000 Incentive Stock Plan. As of December 31, 2007, 1,923,186 shares were still available for grant under the 2000 Incentive Stock Plan.
Option grants. The term of an incentive stock option or a non-qualified stock option may not exceed 10 years. Options granted under the 2000 Incentive Stock Plan are generally not transferable and are exercisable only by the option holder. Upon termination of an option holder’s employment for any reason other than death, or termination for cause, vested options terminate three months after termination, but in no event beyond the stated term of the option. If an option holder dies while employed, vested options terminate 12 months from the date of death, but in no event beyond the stated term of the option. If any option expires or is terminated prior to such option being exercised in full, shares of the common stock underlying such options may be re-allocated by the compensation committee.
Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence
The following is a description of transactions since January 1, 2007, to which we have been a participant in which the amount involved exceeded or will exceed $120,000 and in which any of our directors, executive officers, beneficial holders of more than 5% of our capital stock or entities affiliated with them had or will have a direct or indirect material interest.
Transactions with stockholders
We are party to an exclusive supply agreement with Cutler-Hammer Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Eaton Corporation, a shareholder, to supply various electrical components and intelligent trusses. This agreement expires in April 2008 but automatically renews if earlier notice of termination is not given. During 2007, we issued purchase orders to this supplier totaling $0.6 million.

During 2006, we entered into an exclusive agreement with a supplier, TPK Solutions, Inc. that is managed and partially-owned by a shareholder; the agreement provides for the purchase of certain service module components at an agreed-upon price, and expires in September 2009. This agreement supersedes a previous agreement with another company within the same controlled group. We made payments of $1.5 million and $0.4 million pursuant to these agreements in 2007 and 2006, respectively.
During 2005 and 2006, we maintained professional services contracts with PB Constructors, Inc. and related entities, collectively referred to as PB, for consulting and construction program management services valued at $2.7 million and $0.5 million, respectively. We made cash payments to PB of $0.1 million in 2007. At December 31, 2007 and 2006, we owed PB $1.5 million and $1.6 million, respectively. In May 2005, we and PB entered into a securities purchase agreement pursuant to which PB purchased 985,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $4.9 million. Related to this transaction, $0.9 million represents a stock subscription receivable at December 31, 2007 and 2006. In 2005 in accordance with the terms of the same agreement, we elected to exchange 300,000 shares of Series C Preferred Stock for $1.5 million of consulting services provided by PB.
On April 13, 2007, PB and its affiliate, CTV Holdings, Inc., or CTVH, served a complaint alleging, among other things, that, by making payments in stock instead of in cash, the Company had failed to satisfy its payment obligations under a Program Management Services Agreement, dated August 17, 2004, an Agreement for Professional Services, dated November 29, 2004, and an Agreement for Professional Services, dated January 1, 2006. PB also alleged that by having the Company’s internal staff perform construction program management services, the Company had deprived it of the material benefits of its agreements with the Company. PB is seeking damages for $23 million, including $20 million of alleged loss of profits. On May 29, 2007, the Company filed a Demand for Arbitration with the American Arbitration Association in Atlanta, Georgia requesting that the claims be arbitrated in Knoxville, Tennessee. On May 31, 2007, the Company filed a motion in the Supreme Court of the State of New York to compel arbitration of the claims in the complaint and to stay the action pending arbitration. On October 4, 2007, the Supreme Court granted the Company’s motion to compel PB to arbitrate all of their claims against the Company and to stay the action pending the outcome of the arbitration. With respect to CTVH’s single claim, the Supreme Court granted a stay of the action pending determination by the arbitrators on whether CTVH is a Necessary Party within the meaning of the Program Management Services Agreement. The parties have reactivated arbitration of the case filed by the Company with the AAA on May 29, 2007. PB has filed a $23 million counterclaim based on the same facts alleged in the New York litigation. The issues in the arbitration are identical to those described above, other than those relating to CTVH, which was not compelled to arbitrate with the Company. The AAA has circulated several lists of potential arbitrators, but the arbitrator selection process is not complete. The Company and PB have tentatively agreed to an informal mediation of the parties’s claims and positions, but no date has been set for mediation or for the hearing in the arbitration. The Company will vigorously defend its position; however, management cannot predict the outcome of this proceeding, and cannot predict whether the outcome will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition.

Our board of directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships, which in the opinion of our board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures
The Company became a reporting company under the SEC rules in July 2006. The Audit Committee, formed in May 2006, pre-approves all audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by the Company’s independent registered public accountants and the estimated fees for these services. The Audit Committee considered whether the provision of these services was compatible with maintaining the independence of E&Y as the Company’s principal independent accounting firm for 2007 and 2006, and determined that these services did not compromise their independence. All audit and non-audit services described above were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with its policies and procedures. None of the services provided by the independent registered public accountants that are described above were approved by the Audit Committee pursuant to a waiver of the pre-approval requirements of the SEC’s rules and regulations.
