N.      Benefit Plans and Employment Agreements of Executive Officers

The Company has the AdvanSource 401(k) Retirement Savings Plan established under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  All full-time employees who are twenty-one years of age are eligible to participate on the beginning of the first month after 30 days of employment.  The Company’s contributions are discretionary.  The Company made matching contributions of approximately $9,000 and $8,000 during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

On August 7, 2006, the Company appointed Michael F. Adams as Chief Executive Officer and President of the Company.  Mr. Adams has been a director of the Company since May 1999 and joined the Company as its Vice President of Regulatory Affairs and Business Development on April 1, 2006.  The Company entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Adams (the “Adams Agreement”) on September 13, 2006.  Under the terms of the Adams Agreement, Mr. Adams will be employed by the Company for two years and receive an annual base salary of $290,000, as amended, which is subject to annual review by the Company’s Board of Directors.  During the Employment Period, as defined in the Adams Agreement, Mr. Adams may receive an annual bonus to be determined at the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors.  The Company did not renew the Adams Agreement at the end of the initial term, however, the Adams agreement provides that lacking any express agreement between the parties at the end of the Employment Period, the Adams Agreement shall be deemed to continue on a month-to-month basis.  As a result, the Adams Agreement currently continues on a month-to-month basis and is subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Adams Agreement.  Either party has the right to terminate the Adams Agreement upon 30 days written notice.  Mr. Adams is eligible for participation in all executive benefit programs, including health insurance, life insurance, and stock-based compensation.  If Mr. Adams’ employment is terminated without cause, the Company is obligated to (i) pay Mr. Adams an amount equal to two times his annual base salary upon such termination, (ii) provide Mr. Adams with health insurance benefits for a period of 18 months after such termination, of which the premiums for the first six months after such termination shall be paid by the Company, and (iii) provide Mr. Adams life insurance benefits for one year after such termination at the Company’s expense.  During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2010, the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors approved an increase in Mr. Adams’ annual base salary to $320,000.  There was no bonus awarded to Mr. Adams during the fiscal years ended March 31, 2013 and 2012.
