CAPITALIZATION
          The following table provides our cash and cash equivalents and our capitalization as of June 30, 2006:
    on an actual basis; and
 
    on a pro forma as adjusted basis to give effect to:
    our sale of 10,000,000 shares of common stock in this offering at the assumed public offering price of $7.95 per share (the closing price of our common stock on the Nasdaq Global Market on September 15, 2006), after deducting the underwriting discounts and commissions and estimated offering expenses payable by us;
 
    the closing of the Lightyear recapitalization, including an estimated $1.6 million non-recurring, non-cash charge to our consolidated statement of income and a $21.8 million deemed distribution that will reduce our retained earnings and increase the net loss available to common shareholders;
 
    the acceleration of the vesting of stock options on the closing of this offering, the effects of which include an estimated $2.2 million non-recurring, non-cash charge to our consolidated statement of income;
 
    the repayment of the amount outstanding under our credit facility; and
 
    the purchase and retirement of all outstanding shares of our Series B preferred stock for approximately $2.1 million, resulting in a $1.9 million deemed distribution that will reduce our retained earnings and increase the net loss available to common shareholders.
          You should read this table in conjunction with “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” as well as the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in the preliminary prospectus.

     Employment Agreement with Scott Meyerhoff
          Effective September 15, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Meyerhoff, our executive vice president of finance and strategy. Mr. Meyerhoff’s agreement provides for an annual base salary of $220,000 and an annual incentive award at the discretion of the board of directors of up to 50% of Mr. Meyerhoff’s base salary. Mr. Meyerhoff and Mr. Craighead, our chief financial officer, may also be eligible to receive one-time special bonuses on the closing of this offering, subject to the discretion of our board of directors. If we pay bonuses to Mr. Meyerhoff and Mr. Craighead, we anticipate that they will not exceed $100,000 in total. We will pay those bonuses out of our working capital, not from offering proceeds. In determining whether to award the bonuses, our board will take into account our performance, the performance of Mr. Meyerhoff and Mr. Craighead and other factors the board deems appropriate. The employment agreement has an initial term of one year and is automatically extended for additional one-year terms until either party gives written notice specifying that the term shall continue for only one additional year.

          The employment agreement provides for various payments to Mr. Meyerhoff upon cessation of employment, depending on the circumstances. If Mr. Meyerhoff voluntarily terminates his employment without a constructive discharge, is “terminated for cause,” or if either party elects not to renew for an additional one-year term, he will receive his pro rata base salary and perquisites to the date of termination. “Constructive discharge” means a voluntary termination by Mr. Meyerhoff after a failure by us to fulfill our obligations under the employment agreement in any material respect, which we do not remedy within 30 days of receiving notice from Mr. Meyerhoff. “Termination for cause” means termination by the board of directors due to Mr. Meyerhoff’s serious misconduct which has resulted or is likely to result in material economic damage to us. Except in the case of a conviction for a felony or fraud, we must provide notice 30 days prior to termination for cause and provide Mr. Meyerhoff with the opportunity to cure such damage or likely damage, to our reasonable satisfaction, within 30 days of such notice.
          If Mr. Meyerhoff is terminated through a without “cause” termination or a “constructive discharge,” he will receive an amount equal to the sum of his base salary in effect at the time and his bonus for the prior year. If we pay this amount to Mr. Meyerhoff for any reason following his termination, he cannot compete with us for 12 months following his termination. Following his termination for any reason, Mr. Meyerhoff (a) cannot solicit our employees for 12 months, and (b) cannot participate in any acquisition or business relationship with an entity that we have been negotiating with for an acquisition or business relationship for six months.
     Employment Agreement with Scott Craighead
          Effective September 15, 2006, we entered into an employment agreement with Mr. Craighead, our executive vice president and chief financial officer. Mr. Craighead’s agreement provides for an annual base salary of $220,000 and an annual incentive award at the discretion of the board of directors of up to 50% of Mr. Craighead’s base salary. Mr. Craighead and Mr. Meyerhoff, our executive vice president of finance and strategy, may also be eligible to receive one-time special bonuses on the closing of this offering, subject to the discretion of our board of directors.
