EXPLANATORY NOTE
     National Medical Health Card Systems, Inc.’s (the “Registrant’s”) last proxy statement was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on March 28, 2007 for its annual meeting of stockholders, which had been postponed from its original December 21, 2006 date to April 17, 2007. The Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2007 was filed with the SEC on September 13, 2007 (the “Original Filing”). The Registrant is filing this Amendment No.1 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K/A (this “Amendment”) to amend Items 10 through 14 of Part III of the Original Filing, to include the information required by such items.
     Except as otherwise expressly noted herein, this Amendment to Annual Report on Form 10-K/A does not reflect events occurring after the September 13, 2007 filing of our original Annual Report on Form 10-K in any way, except to reflect the changes discussed in this Amendment. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Original Filing.
     The Registrant does not undertake to update any information or disclosures in, or exhibits to, the Original Filing to reflect events and circumstances occurring since the Original Filing. Such matters will be addressed in subsequent reports filed with the SEC.
     As a result of this Amendment, as required by Rule 12b-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Registrant is filing new certifications pursuant to Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 by our principal executive officer and principal financial officer as exhibits to this Amendment under Item 15 of Part IV hereof. Because no financial statements are contained within this Amendment, the Registrant is not including the certifications pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002.

PART III
Item 10. DIRECTORS, EXECUTIVE OFFICERS AND CORPORATE GOVERNANCE.
     National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. (“NASD”) rules require most companies whose stock is quoted on the Nasdaq stock exchange, following their first annual stockholders meeting after January 15, 2004, to have a Board of Directors composed of a majority of independent directors, as determined and defined under NASD Rule 4350(c), and to comply with certain other requirements for committees and independent directors. Companies that are controlled by a single stockholder or a group of stockholders acting together are eligible to utilize an exemption from certain of the requirements under NASD Rule 4350(c)(5), including the requirement that a majority of directors be independent. We are a “controlled company,” as defined in Nasdaq’s rules, because New Mountain Partners, L.P. and its affiliates (collectively, “New Mountain Partners”) own more than 50% of the voting power of our stock. Accordingly, we have availed ourselves of the exemption from the rule requiring a majority of the directors be independent.
     Our Board of Directors currently consists of nine members. Our current certificate of incorporation provides that each member of the Board of Directors shall be elected for a one-year term at each annual meeting of stockholders. All of the current directors’ terms will expire at our next annual meeting. New Mountain Partners, as the holder of all of our outstanding series A redeemable convertible preferred stock, is entitled to elect at least 60% of the members of our Board of Directors and our common stockholders are entitled to elect the remaining members of our Board of Directors. All nine members of the board which the common stockholders and series A redeemable convertible preferred stockholders are entitled to elect are to be elected at the next annual meeting.
     The following text presents certain information concerning our directors:

Familial Relationships
     There are no familial relationships among any of our executive officers or directors.
Meetings and Committees of Our Board of Directors
     Our Board of Directors held seven meetings during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 and at least a majority of our directors attended each meeting. Our Board of Directors also acted four times during the last fiscal year by unanimous written consent in lieu of a meeting.
     Our Board of Directors has a standing Audit Committee, a Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, a Compensation Committee and an Executive Committee. The responsibilities of the Audit Committee are summarized below. The responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are summarized beginning on page 7. The responsibilities of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee and the Executive Committee can be found in our proxy statement dated March 28, 2007, and the charters for our Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee can be found on our website at www.nmhc.com, by clicking on “Investors”, then “Corporate Governance”. In addition, on March 24, 2004, our Board of Directors approved the creation of two series A redeemable preferred stock dividend committees and on October 28, 2005 our Board of Directors approved a change in the name and responsibilities of the nominating committee to the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee. We are a controlled company under NASD Rule 4350(c)(5) and are exempt from NASD Rule 4350(c)(4) relating to independent director oversight of director nominations because New Mountain Partners owns more than 50% of the voting power of our stock.
Audit Committee
     The Audit Committee assists the Board of Directors in its oversight of our compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, which includes oversight of the quality and integrity of our financial reporting, internal controls and audit functions, and is directly and solely responsible for the appointment, retention, compensation and monitoring of the performance of our independent registered public accounting firm, including the services and scope of their audit. The Audit Committee is currently composed of Paul J. Konigsberg (Chairman of the committee), Gerald Angowitz and Daniel Hébert. The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Konigsberg, Angowitz and Hébert are independent directors, and that each of them will be independent for the purposes of the Nasdaq’s amended governance listing standards (specifically, Rule

6


Table of Contents

4200(a)(15) of the listing standards of the NASD (the “Listing Standards”)), and the requirements of the SEC and the Nasdaq.
     In addition, as required by the rules of the SEC and the Nasdaq, our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. Konigsberg, the Chairman of the Audit Committee, qualifies as an “audit committee financial expert” as defined in Item 407(d)(5) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Stockholders should understand that this designation is an SEC disclosure requirement relating to Mr. Konigsberg’s experience and understanding of certain accounting and auditing matters, which the SEC has stated does not impose on the director so designated any additional duty, obligation or liability than otherwise is imposed generally by virtue of serving on the Audit Committee and/or the Board of Directors. The Audit Committee met on 18 occasions during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007.
Section 16(A) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance
     Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, requires our executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of any of our equity security, to file initial reports of ownership and reports of changes in ownership with the SEC. Based upon a review of the filings with the SEC, we believe that the reporting requirements of Section 16 applicable to executive officers and directors, and persons who beneficially own more than ten percent of any of our equity securities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 were complied with on a timely basis except for a late Form 3 filing and a late Form 4 filing for Mark Adkison resulting from administrative errors.
Code of Business Conduct and Ethics
     As of October 15, 2004, we adopted a Code of Business Conduct and Ethics (the “Code”) which amends and restates our prior Code of Ethics. The Code promotes the legal and ethical conduct of our business. The Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and other senior officers are required to abide by the Code, which provides the foundation for compliance with all corporate policies and procedures, and best business practices. The policies and procedures address a wide array of professional conduct, including the establishment of sound employment policies, methods for avoiding and resolving conflicts of interest, safeguarding intellectual property, protecting confidential information, and a strict adherence to all laws and regulations applicable to the conduct of our business. We have satisfied its obligations, imposed under the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, to disclose promptly on our website amendments to, or waivers from, the Code, if any. A copy of our Code is available on our website, www.nmhc.com, by clicking on “Investors”, then “Corporate Governance”.
Item 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION.
Compensation Discussion and Analysis
Overview of Compensation Process and Role of the Compensation Committee.
     The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Compensation Committee”) is responsible for reviewing the performance and establishing the compensation of the Company’s executive officers, including the named executive officers (which term refers to the individuals identified in the Summary Compensation Table beginning on page 17). The Compensation Committee administers the 1999 Stock Option Plan, as amended, and the Amended and Restated 2000 Restricted Stock Plan under which options, restricted shares, restricted share units and other awards may be made to key employees and directors. The Compensation Committee’s charter is available on the Company’s web site, www.nmhc.com, by clicking on “Investors,” then “Corporate Governance”. The Compensation Committee is composed of Gerald Angowitz (Chairman), Paul J. Konigsberg and Steven B. Klinsky. In fiscal 2007, the Compensation Committee met five times.

Goals of the Company’s Compensation Policies.
     A fundamental objective of the Compensation Committee’s executive compensation policies is to ensure that executives are provided incentives and compensated in ways that advance long-term stockholder value. The compensation policies of the Company further this objective by combining a base salary with a combination of short-term and long-term incentives designed to recognize outstanding contributions and provide incentives for the executives to perform at or above established goals. In part due to extensive recent management changes, the Compensation Committee has also focused on ensuring that the Company is able to attract and retain executive management talent in a competitive recruiting environment. The Compensation Committee attempts to maintain an effective balance between cash and equity awards to increase executive loyalty, align the executives’ interests with those of the stockholders, and create incentives for the executives to optimize their contributions to the Company.
Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions.
     The Compensation Committee makes all final compensation decisions with respect to the Company’s executive officers, including the named executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer is reviewed annually by the Compensation Committee, and this review is discussed in detail with the Chief Executive Officer at a Compensation Committee meeting. The Chief Executive Officer is responsible for reviewing the performance of the other executive officers and has conversations with the Compensation Committee and its chairman regarding such reviews and suggested cash incentive awards, equity awards, and base salary changes.
     The Chief Executive Officer generally attends Compensation Committee meetings. The Compensation Committee also solicits the views of other board members with particular insight into relevant matters, who may, upon request, attend committee meetings in an observer capacity.
Establishing Compensation for Executive Officers.
     In furtherance of its objectives, the Compensation Committee has designed a compensation program consisting of three components: (i) base salary, (ii) an annual performance-based cash incentive award and (iii) equity awards. Previously, the Compensation Committee directly engaged Watson Wyatt, a human resources consulting firm, to analyze the Company’s executive compensation programs. Watson Wyatt last reviewed the Company’s executive compensation programs in August 2005 and provided a detailed analysis to the Compensation Committee. This analysis included benchmarking of salary, total cash and total direct compensation for the Company’s executive officers. The analysis also included a review of the then current long-term incentive award program and the award mix granted thereunder. The benchmarking entailed a review of eight companies with similar types of businesses and similar revenues when there was available proxy data for an equivalent position in these companies. The benchmarking also involved a review of the Watson Wyatt Data Services survey for companies in the healthcare and business services industries with gross revenue of approximately $450 million. When benchmarking data was not available for a position because of the unique aspects of the position, internal value was weighed along with internal peer group compensation. No compensation consultant was retained to review fiscal 2007 compensation. Nonetheless, the Company continued to use substantially the same methodology to review executive compensation. The analysis was done by the Company’s human resources department. The initial eight comparison companies used by Watson Wyatt were:
Accredo Health, Incorporated
Curative Health Services Co.
drugstore.com, inc.
HealthExtras, Inc.
LabOne, Inc. (acquired by Quest Diagnostics Incorporated)
BioScrip, Inc.
Nektar Therapeutics
Priority Healthcare Corporation

Table of Contents

For fiscal 2007, the following five comparison companies were used:
drugstore.com, inc.
Nektar Therapeutics
The Trizetto Group, Inc.
HealthExtras, Inc.
Bioscrip, Inc.
In fiscal 2007, the Company utilized a more recent version of the Watson Wyatt Data Services survey for companies in the healthcare and business services industries with gross revenue of approximately $450 million.
     The Compensation Committee has attempted to maintain total compensation and each of the three individual elements of compensation at levels competitive with median (50th percentile) compensation levels. While we believe benchmarks are necessary to be competitive in our recruitment and retention efforts, the Compensation Committee will subjectively determine appropriate levels of compensation for executive officers based on various factors consistent with our compensation goals and philosophy.
     In designing and implementing the performance-based cash incentive plan and the equity grants, the Compensation Committee also attempted to put a significant portion of each executive’s compensation at risk, with the degree of risk positively correlating with the level of the executive officer’s responsibility.
Components of Fiscal 2007 Compensation for Executive Officers.
     For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007 (“fiscal 2007”), there are seven named executive officers for the Company, three of whom terminated service with the Company during the fiscal year. The seven named executive officers are:

Generally, base salary adjustments for the executive officers are made when warranted at a Compensation Committee meeting during the first quarter of the fiscal year. The Compensation Committee may also make base salary adjustments throughout the fiscal year as warranted, such as when an executive officer is promoted or takes on additional responsibilities. As discussed above, base salaries generally are targeted to be near the 50th percentile of the survey and proxy data, where applicable, to maintain a market competitive compensation structure. The Compensation Committee may also consider other factors in determining base salary, including an executive’s exceptional

performance during the previous fiscal year and recent changes in responsibility. Base salaries for the newly hired named executive officers generally were based upon market competitive compensation and the compensation provided to the executive’s predecessor. The Compensation Committee set the following base salaries for the named executive officers:
                 
    Base Salary  
Name   FY 2007     FY 2006  
Thomas Erickson
  $ 250,000       N/A  
Stuart Diamond
  $ 300,000     $ 275,000  
Martin Magill
  $ 275,000 (1)   $ 275,000  
James Smith
  $ 375,000     $ 375,000  
Tery Baskin
  $ 230,000     $ 230,000  
Mark Adkison
  $ 220,000     $ 207,000  
(1) Martin Magill was promoted to Chief Marketing Officer from Senior Vice President of Sales on May 21, 2007. He did not receive a base salary increase in connection with this promotion.
     2. Annual performance-based cash incentive compensation. In order to align the executive officers’ interests with those of the stockholders, the Compensation Committee has determined that a significant amount of an executive’s compensation should be at-risk, incentive-based compensation. To this end, for fiscal year 2007, the Compensation Committee implemented an annual performance-based cash incentive compensation program. The current Chief Executive Officer did not participate in this annual performance-based cash incentive compensation program. The three components of an executive’s compensation under this program were: (i) achieving individual performance (30%); (ii) the Company achieving a net income target (50%); and (iii) the Company achieving a gross profit target (20%). For fiscal 2007, the following threshold, target and maximum levels were determined):
                                 
Measures   Weight   Threshold   Target   Maximum
Individual Performance
    30 %     0 %     100%     150 %
Net Income
    50 %   $9,957,000 (50% payout)   $ 12,447,000     $14,936,000 (150% payout)
Gross Profit
    20 %   $77,712,000 (50% payout)   $ 97,141,000     $116,569,000 (150% payout)
     Award payouts were made as a percentage of base salary. The Compensation Committee determined the target percentage of base salary during the first fiscal quarter, largely based upon the benchmarking discussed above, as well as additional discretionary factors, including a desire to put more of an executive’s compensation at risk due to increased responsibilities. After consideration of these factors, the Compensation Committee set the following target percentages of base salaries for the named executive officers for fiscal 2007:
         
Name   FY 2007 % of Base Salary
Thomas Erickson
    N/A  
Stuart Diamond
    50 %
Martin Magill
    20 %
James Smith
    75 %
Tery Baskin
    50 %
Mark Adkison
    50 %
     Individual performance measures and the related performance outcome measures for each of the executive officers were initially drafted during annual review sessions between the Chief Executive Officer and the executive officer. Each executive officer had criteria that were specific to that executive officer and the decision to award incentive compensation based upon individual performance is a subjective matter left to the discretion of the Compensation Committee.

Table of Contents

     Net income and gross profit performance targets were determined by the Compensation Committee after consulting with the Company’s executives regarding the Company’s expected performance and operating goals for 2007. These targets were chosen as the financial measure components of the program because they were considered by the Compensation Committee as the best measures of the Company’s financial performance and the creation of stockholder value. Net income and gross profit were determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
     Award payments have been typically determined in the first fiscal quarter following the fiscal year (September 2007 for fiscal 2007) after the Compensation Committee reviews the Chief Executive Officer’s analysis of an executive officer’s performance with respect to individual performance measures and following the determination of net income and gross profit levels. Due to extensive recent management changes, the Compensation Committee did not determine awards for fiscal 2007 until November 13, 2007.
     In fiscal 2007, the Company did not achieve the threshold net income for bonuses to be paid based on that component. The Company achieved the gross profit threshold level for named executive officers to receive a bonus based on that component. Following the end of the fiscal year, the Chief Executive Officer reported to the Compensation Committee regarding individual executive performance. Based on this report, an analysis of the Company’s performance in fiscal 2007, and such other factors as the Compensation Committee deemed relevant in its discretion, the Compensation Committee approved payment of the following performance-based cash incentive compensation to the named executive officers:
                 
            FY 2007 Bonus as % of
Name   FY 2007 Bonus   Base Salary
Thomas Erickson
    N/A       N/A  
Stuart Diamond
  $ 60,000       20 %
Martin Magill
  $ 22,000       8 %
James Smith
  $ 0       0 %
Tery Baskin
  $ 0       0 %
Mark Adkison
  $ 44,120       20 %
     3. Equity Incentive Grants. The Compensation Committee believes that equity awards encourage executive officers to focus on long-term Company performance and align the interests of executive officers with stockholders by increasing their ownership of the Company. All equity awards are made pursuant to the provisions of incentive plans approved by the Company’s stockholders. The Company values stock options by calculating their binomial value at the date of grant and values restricted stock awards by calculating their aggregate market value at the date of grant. The Compensation Committee has in the recent past utilized a four-year, cliff-vesting period for restricted stock awards and a vesting schedule of one-quarter annually for stock options. Existing ownership is not a factor in award determination, because we do not want to discourage executive officers from holding significant amounts of Company stock. Currently, the Company does not have ownership guidelines for executive officers.
     For fiscal 2005 and fiscal 2006, the Compensation Committee administered a long-term incentive award program (the “LTIA”). Target awards as a percentage of base salary were established during the first fiscal quarter and grants were made during the first fiscal quarter following the end of the fiscal year based upon the target awards, with the potential for the Compensation Committee to exercise downward discretion based upon an individual executive’s performance. Based upon the analysis done by Watson Wyatt and a consideration of the various attributes of different potential equity components of the LTIA, payments were made 50% in stock options and 30% in restricted stock. Some of the factors considered in making this determination were: the resiliency of restricted stock, the accounting treatment of options and restricted stock, and the greater leverage attained by executives with options. The Compensation Committee also considered other forms of awards, including performance shares and performance-vesting options, before deciding on the option and restricted stock mix. The remaining 20% of the award was intended to be used to match cash incentive award deferrals that could be rolled pre-tax into restricted stock under a Management Stock Purchase Plan, but this plan was never implemented and the remaining 20% was never granted in any form. Pursuant to this long-term incentive program, during September of 2006, the following non-qualified

stock options for the purchase of the Company’s common stock and restricted shares of the Company’s common stock were granted to our named executive officers:
                         
    Shares Subject to           Number of
    Time-Based Vesting   Exercise   Time-Based Vesting
Name   Option Grant   Price (1)   Restricted Shares
Stuart Diamond
    21,560     $ 15.20       5,930  
James Smith
    43,110     $ 15.20       11,850  
Tery Baskin
    9,920     $ 15.20       2,730  
(1) The exercise price per share equals the fair market value of the common stock on the date of grant.
     During the first quarter of fiscal 2007, the Compensation Committee established targets for the LTIA for fiscal 2007. The Compensation Committee later decided not to implement the LTIA and instead to grant discretionary equity awards following the end of the fiscal year, based upon the Compensation Committee’s assessment of an individual executive officer’s performance and the Company’s performance as a whole. This decision was based on the Compensation Committee’s consideration of the value intended to be delivered by the LTIA and desire to create a vehicle for retention of the named executive officers. A portion of the awards were also intended to compensate the named executive officers for the fact that the Management Stock Purchase Plan was never implemented. These awards consisted entirely of restricted stock because the Compensation Committee believes that restricted stock awards reduce the dilutive impact of equity grants to management as compared to equity grants consisting of stock options. The following restricted shares of the Company’s common stock were granted to our named executive officers:
         
    Number of Time-Based
Name   Vesting Restricted Shares
Thomas Erickson
    0  
Stuart Diamond
    46,000  
Martin Magill
    30,000  
Mark Adkison
    37,000  
     New Hire Option Grant to Chairman. In the past, the Compensation Committee has also made one-time grants to executives following an executive’s hire, promotion, or as a reward for exceptional performance. On March 12, 2007, the Compensation Committee made a new-hire grant of an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $14.02 (the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant) to Mr. Erickson in connection with his appointment as the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors. Mr. Erickson’s option grant vests and becomes exercisable, except as specifically provided for in the stock option agreement, upon the satisfaction of the following two conditions: (i) Mr. Erickson serves as a director of the Company through at least February 23, 2008 (the “First Anniversary”), or Mr. Erickson resigns at the request of the Board of Directors, or is involuntarily terminated on or prior to the First Anniversary; and (ii) a change in control (as defined in the Mr. Erickson’s Chairman Agreement with the Company, dated February 23, 2007 (the “NMHC Chairman Agreement”)) shall have occurred. The option immediately vests upon a change in control prior to the First Anniversary. This option expires on March 12, 2017. As discussed below in the section titled “Employment Agreement with Thomas W. Erickson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer”, Mr. Erickson’s arrangement with the Company and the Company’s controlling stockholder is unique for several reasons.
     Retirement Plans. The only retirement plan that the Company has established for its executive officers is the Company’s 401(k) plan. The Company’s executive officers generally participate on the same terms as all other eligible Company employees. The Company matches 100% of the first 2.5% of eligible earnings contributed by employees, including the Company’s executive officers.
     Perquisites and Other Benefits. The Compensation Committee believes that compensation should not take the form of perquisites and has traditionally not provided executives with benefits that are not integral and directly related to the executive’s duties. Due in part to his historical arrangement with Pharmacy Associates Inc., a company that was acquired by the Company, Mr. Baskin received a car

allowance, which will not continue during the term of Mr. Baskin’s severance arrangement. Mr. Smith’s employment arrangement with the Company also included a car allowance, which will continue during the term of his severance arrangement.
     Separation, Consulting, & General Release Agreements. Three of the named executive officers departed the Company during fiscal 2007. The Company entered into departure and general release agreements with these executives (and additionally with respect to Mr. Masters, a consulting agreement) in order to clarify the parties’ obligations going forward. The Company’s obligations under these new agreements were in lieu of the severance obligations owed to the executives under their existing employment agreements. Certain of the payments disclosed in the Summary Compensation Table below relate to the new agreements.
     On May 21, 2007, the Company announced that James F. Smith’s employment with the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer had terminated, effective immediately. On August 17, 2007, the Company and Mr. Smith entered into a Departure Agreement and General Release (the “Smith Departure Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Smith Departure Agreement, the Company agreed, subject to certain limitations, to pay Mr. Smith (from the termination date) his prior salary ($375,000 per year) for a period not to exceed two years in an amount not to exceed a total of $750,000, as well as payments of $600 per month in connection with Mr. Smith’s former car allowance. In addition, the Company agreed to pay Mr. Smith’s COBRA premiums for his entire eligibility period but not past the end of the severance period. The Company also agreed to pay Mr. Smith $19,750 in lieu of any remaining benefits for health, dental and pharmaceutical coverage for the portion of the severance period for which benefits under COBRA are not available to Mr. Smith. Mr. Smith also agreed to completely release any and all past, present and future statutory, contract, tort and all other claims against the Company and its affiliates, subject to certain limitations.
     On May 21, 2007, the Company announced that Tery Baskin’s employment with the Company as Chief Marketing Officer/EVP of Business Development had terminated, effective immediately. On August 1, 2007, the Company and Mr. Baskin entered into a Departure Agreement and General Release (the “Baskin Departure Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Baskin Departure Agreement, NMHC agreed to pay Mr. Baskin $8,846.15 per bi-weekly pay period for a twelve month period, subject to certain limitations. The Company will also pay Mr. Baskin a commission equal to three cents per net paid claim for the Arkansas State Employees account and the State of Arkansas Public School account, submitted during the period commencing on the 2007 renewal dates of each such account and ending on the third anniversary of the 2007 renewal dates, provided that Mr. Baskin provides any assistance reasonably requested by the Company in connection with the renewal of such contracts. Such commission payments shall not exceed a total of $83,333 per calendar year, and shall be no greater than $250,000 in the aggregate. Mr. Baskin also agreed to completely release any and all past, present and future statutory, contract, tort and all other claims against the Company and its affiliates, subject to certain limitations.
     On May 21, 2007, the Company announced that Bill Masters’ employment with the Company as Chief Information Officer had terminated, effective immediately. On June 4, 2007, the Company and Mr. Masters entered into a Consulting Agreement and Departure Agreement and General Release (the “Masters Departure Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Masters Departure Agreement, after the termination of his employment as Chief Information Officer as of May 21, 2007, Mr. Masters continued to provide consulting services to the Company through June 28, 2007, consisting of various duties as were reasonably requested by the Company. During this time, the Company continued to pay Mr. Masters his regular base salary in the amount of $8,750 per bi-weekly pay period. For purposes of the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan and Amended and Restated 2000 Restricted Stock Grant Plan, Mr. Masters’ credited service continued until June 28, 2007. The Company also agreed to pay Mr. Masters’ present salary for a period not to exceed one year, beginning on June 28, 2007, subject to certain limitations. Mr. Masters also agreed to completely release any and all past, present and future statutory, contract, tort and all other claims against the Company and its affiliates, subject to certain limitations.

Employment Arrangement of Thomas W. Erickson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer.
     On May 21, 2007, the Board of Directors of the Company appointed Thomas W. Erickson, the Chairman of the Board, to serve as the interim Chief Executive Officer and President. The Company is currently conducting a search for a new Chief Executive Officer and President. During his tenure as interim Chief Executive Officer, Mr. Erickson will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board and receive the compensation provided for under the NMHC Chairman Agreement.
     The NMHC Chairman Agreement is for a term of one year and provides for a payment by the Company of $250,000 for such year of service. Upon the request of Mr. Erickson at any time during the term of the NMHC Chairman Agreement, the Company will provide or reimburse Mr. Erickson for health, life and disability insurance and other benefits having terms and benefits commensurate with those generally made available to the Company’s most senior employees. Mr. Erickson received a new hire stock option grant to acquire 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock pursuant to the Company’s 1999 Stock Option Plan (see “New Hire Option Grant to Chairman” on page 12 for the details of the grant).
     Since January 2007, Mr. Erickson has been providing consulting services to New Mountain Capital, through ECG Ventures, Inc. (“ECG”), of which Mr. Erickson is President and Chief Executive Officer and which is controlled by Mr. Erickson. New Mountain Capital is paying ECG $500,000 per year. New Mountain Capital is the Investment Manager of New Mountain Partners. Mr. Erickson and New Mountain Capital are currently negotiating the final terms of a consulting agreement (the “New Mountain Agreement”) pursuant to which it is anticipated that Mr. Erickson will provide, through ECG, strategic management services to New Mountain Capital with respect to its current and prospective investment activities, including with respect to the Company. The New Mountain Agreement is expected to have a term of one year and provide for a payment of $500,000 for such year of service. In addition, the New Mountain Agreement is anticipated to contain two bonus arrangements. Under the first bonus arrangement, New Mountain Capital is anticipated to pay Mr. Erickson a bonus of $1 million at the time that New Mountain Partners has exited its investment in the Company (in whole or in part) and has received a return equal to or greater than its investment. Under the second bonus arrangement, New Mountain Capital is anticipated to pay Mr. Erickson a bonus based on the increase in the Company’s common stock price over $12.41 (which was the closing price of the Company’s common stock shortly after Mr. Erickson and New Mountain Capital first discussed whether Mr. Erickson would consider providing services to New Mountain Capital), to be paid periodically as New Mountain Partners exits from its investment in the Company. These bonuses are anticipated to be prorated if Mr. Erickson’s service to New Mountain Capital ends prior to the expiration of the term by reason of his death or permanent disability. In addition, Mr. Erickson is not anticipated to be entitled to these bonuses if, prior to the expiration of the term, his services are terminated by reason of a termination for cause or a voluntary resignation by Mr. Erickson. Mr. Erickson’s entitlement to any unpaid bonus (or portion thereof) is anticipated to end if Mr. Erickson engages in business activities that compete with the Company’s business activities.
Employment Agreement and Certain Payments to Named Executive Officers upon Termination of Employment.
     Under the terms of various offer letters in effect with the executive officers during fiscal 2007, the executive officers were provided limited severance benefits in connection with termination of their employment without cause and for certain other reasons. The Committee determined in late fiscal 2007 that it was in the best interests of the Company to begin negotiating new employment agreements with all of the executive officers, excluding Mr. Erickson. The Committee’s determination was based, in part, on the desire to have a consistent agreement with each of the Company’s executive officers and, in part, on the desire to clarify the terms of each executive officer’s employment with the Company. The basic terms of these employment agreements were approved by the Compensation Committee on August 8, 2007 and Mr. Erickson was authorized to negotiate the specific terms of the employment agreements with each executive officer. The definitive employment agreements were entered into in November 2007 after the Compensation Committee approved the final terms of the employment agreements and the actions taken by Mr. Erickson in connection with negotiating the employment agreements.

Table of Contents

     To enhance the Company’s chance of retaining executive officers, the agreements offer severance compensation to executive officers whose employment is terminated pursuant to one of the following permitted termination events: (i) termination without cause; (ii) termination due to the Company’s refusal to extend the one-year, automatically-renewing term of the agreement; (iii) termination due to incapacity; or (iv) termination due to death. If there is a change in control and an executive officer’s employment is terminated pursuant to one of the permitted termination events within two years of the change in control, then the executive officer is entitled to receive change in control compensation instead of severance compensation.
     Severance compensation and change in control compensation ensure that executive officers, or their estates, will receive adequate consideration if they are terminated through no fault of their own. This assurance encourages executive officers to remain with the Company and refrain from seeking employment elsewhere. Moreover, by providing change in control compensation, the new employment agreements allow executive officers to concentrate on making decisions in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders and offer an incentive for executives to remain employed with the Company for a certain amount of time following a change in control.
     Severance compensation includes 100% of the executive officer’s highest base salary in effect during the six month period immediately prior to the executive officer’s date of termination, as well as certain health and dental benefits for the executive, the executive officer’s spouse, and the executive officer’s children. In the event of termination by reason of death, the executive officer’s estate shall be paid severance compensation minus the product of any payments under any life insurance policy multiplied by the percentage of premiums of such policy that were paid by the Company. In the event of a termination due to incapacity, the executive officer’s estate shall be paid severance compensation minus the product of any payments for 12 months after the termination under any long-term disability policy multiplied by the percentage of premiums of such policy that were paid by the Company.
     Change in control compensation includes a payment of up to 150% of the executive officer’s highest base salary in effect during the period beginning six months immediately prior to the effective date of the change in control through the date of termination, as well as certain health and dental benefits for the executive, the executive’s spouse, and the executive officer’s children. The agreements also provide for payment to the executive officer of an amount necessary to reimburse the executive on an after-tax basis for any excise tax payable under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with the change in control. This gross-up is provided to ensure that the agreements are market competitive and to allow executive officers to concentrate on making decisions in the best interests of the Company’s stockholders. Executive officers entitled to change in control compensation are required to remain in the employment of the Company for at least six months after the change in control as requested by the Company. Following a change in control, if the executive officer terminates employment for any reason other than death, incapacity, a refusal by the Company to extend the term of the agreement, good reason or a without cause, then the executive officer will be required to make certain payments to the Company that are based on the amount of harm suffered by the Company due to the executive officer’s termination.
     Executive officers are not eligible to collect severance compensation in addition to change in control compensation. Moreover, severance compensation, or change in control compensation if applicable, is the exclusive remedy of an executive in connection with a termination without cause, due to the Company’s refusal to extend the employment term, due to incapacity, or due to death.
     To be eligible for any severance or change in control compensation, the executive officer must execute and deliver to the Company a general release and a written resignation. Moreover, the Company is entitled to discontinue any severance compensation if the executive officer breaches certain restrictive covenants, including those related to non-competition, non-solicitation, confidentiality and preservation.

Tax and Accounting Implications.
     Deductibility of Executive Compensation. Part of the Compensation Committee’s role is to review and consider the deductibility of executive compensation under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which provides that the Company may not deduct compensation of more than $1,000,000 that is paid to certain individuals. To date the Compensation Committee has not considered Section 162(m) when making compensation decisions because of the current and historical levels of compensation. The compensation paid to our executive officers in fiscal 2007 did not exceed the limit for deductibility.
     Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Beginning on July 1, 2005, the Company began accounting for stock-based payments in accordance with the requirements of FASB Statement 123(R).
Compensation Decisions for Fiscal 2008.
     In October 2007, the Compensation Committee established base salaries for the year ending June 30, 2008 (“fiscal 2008”) for the named executive officers that remain with the Company. The Compensation Committee set the following base salaries for the named executive officers:
                 
    Base Salary  
Name   FY 2008     FY 2007  
Thomas Erickson
  $ 250,000     $ 250,000  
Stuart Diamond
  $ 300,000     $ 300,000  
Martin Magill
  $ 275,000     $ 275,000  
Mark Adkison
  $ 220,000     $ 220,000  
     The new employment agreements set target bonuses for each of the executive officers at 50% of the executive’s base salary with the actual amount of any such bonus determined in the sole discretion of the Compensation Committee.
     The Compensation Committee also determined that it would continue to award equity grants on an entirely discretionary basis as discussed above. As described above, the Company granted restricted shares of the Company’s common stock to certain of our named executive officers in connection with entering into their employment agreements and in lieu of grants under the previous LTIA upon approval of the Compensation Committee.

     During fiscal 2007, the Company was party to various offer letters with certain of our executive officers which included customary terms such as salary and benefit information, as well as provisions related to severance pay and benefits. The Compensation Committee determined in late fiscal 2007 to begin negotiating new employment agreements with all executive officers, excluding Mr. Erickson. The basic terms of these agreements were approved by the Compensation Committee on August 8, 2007 and Mr. Erickson was authorized to negotiate the specific terms of the employment agreements with each executive officer. The definitive employment agreements were entered into in November 2007 after the Compensation Committee approved the final terms of the employment agreements and the actions taken by Mr. Erickson in connection with negotiating the employment agreements. Please see the section titled “Employment Agreements and Certain Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination of Employment” beginning on page 14 for additional information regarding these employment agreements.

Please see the section titled “Separation, Consulting, & General Release Agreements” beginning on page 13 for additional information regarding the terms of these agreements.

     On March 12, 2007, Mr. Erickson was granted an option to purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $14.02 in connection with his appointment as the Company’s Chairman of the Board of Directors (see page 12 for the details of the grant). In the event Mr. Erickson (i) resigns at the request of the Board of Directors or is otherwise involuntarily terminated (in either case other than for cause as described in the NMHC Chairman Agreement) and (ii) a change of control has occurred, Mr. Erickson’s option shall vest and become fully exercisable. Mr. Erickson’s option also vests and becomes fully exercisable in the event of a change of control prior to February 23, 2008. Assuming Mr. Erickson’s option vested and became fully exercisable, the intrinsic value of such option award as of the end of Company’s most recent fiscal year based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock on June 29, 2007 was $198,000.
     Mr. Erickson and New Mountain Capital are currently negotiating the final terms the New Mountain Agreement pursuant to which it is anticipated that Mr. Erickson will provide, through ECG, strategic management services to New Mountain Capital with respect to its current and prospective investment activities, including with respect to the Company. Please see the section titled “Employment Arrangement of Thomas W. Erickson, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer” beginning on page 14 for additional information regarding the anticipated terms of the New Mountain Agreement. In the event of a change of control of the Company as of June 29, 2007, Mr. Erickson would have received a payment of $1 million under the anticipated terms of the New Mountain Agreement had it been in effect as of such date.
     During fiscal 2007, the Company’s employment of each of Mr. Diamond, Mr. Magill and Mr. Adkison was subject to the terms of an offer letter, which provided limited severance benefits for the executive in connection with the termination of his employment without cause and for certain other reasons. The Compensation Committee determined in late fiscal 2007 that it was in the best interests of the Company to begin negotiating new employment agreements with all of the executive officers, excluding Mr. Erickson. The Compensation Committee’s determination was based in part, on the desire to have a consistent agreement with each of the Company’s executive officers and, in part, on the desire to clarify the terms of each executive officer’s employment with the Company. The basic terms of these agreements were approved by the Compensation Committee on August 8, 2007 and Mr. Erickson was authorized to negotiate the specific terms of the employment agreements with each executive officer. The definitive employment agreements were entered into in November 2007 after the Compensation Committee approved the final terms of the employment agreements and the actions taken by Mr. Erickson in connection with negotiating the employment agreements. Please see the section titled “Employment Agreements and Certain Payments to Named Executive Officers Upon Termination of Employment” beginning on page 14 for additional information regarding these employment agreements. Had the new employment agreements been in effect as of the end of fiscal 2007, in the event of a termination of employment without cause as of June 29, 2007, Mr. Diamond would have received a severance payment of $300,000, plus certain benefits (estimated to be worth $10,203); Mr. Magill would have received a severance payment of $275,000, plus certain benefits (estimated to be worth $10,203); and Mr. Adkison would have received a severance payment of $220,000, plus certain benefits (estimated to be worth $10,203). In the event such termination of employment followed a change of control, Mr. Diamond would have received a severance payment of $450,000, plus certain benefits (estimated to be worth $10,203); Mr. Magill would have received a severance payment of $412,500, plus certain benefits (estimated to be worth $10,203); and Mr. Adkison would have received a severance payment of $330,000, plus certain benefits (estimated to be worth $10,203).

Item 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE.
Director Independence
     The Board of Directors has determined that Messrs. Angowitz, Konigsberg and Hébert are independent directors, and that each of them will be independent for the purposes of Nasdaq’s amended governance listing

26


Table of Contents

standards. The remaining members of the Board of Directors do not satisfy the SEC and the Nasdaq “independence” definitions and therefore our board does not have a majority of independent directors. This is permissible under applicable Nasdaq listing standards because New Mountain Partners owns more than 50% of the voting power of our stock. As a “controlled company” within the meaning of relevant Nasdaq listing standards (Rule 4350(c)), we are not required to comply with certain provisions that would require us to have a majority of independent directors serving on our Board of Directors, or our standing Nominating and Corporate Governance and Compensation Committees, all of whose members must be “independent” under Nasdaq standards. In creating this exception, the Nasdaq has recognized that majority shareholders, including parent companies, have the right to select directors and control certain key decisions, such as executive officer compensation, by virtue of their stock ownership rights. To summarize, because we are a controlled company, we are exempt from certain of the requirements of the Nasdaq listing standards, including those relating to having:
     (1) a majority of independent directors on the board; as noted, the Board of Directors has determined that only three of the 9 directors will be “independent” under applicable Nasdaq and SEC requirements because the remaining directors are either our executive officers or are affiliated with our controlling stockholder, New Mountain Partners, LP;
     (2) a standing nominating and corporate governance committee composed entirely of “independent” directors; and
     (3) a standing compensation committee composed entirely of “independent” directors as defined by the Nasdaq listing standards. Our Compensation Committee, which makes decisions on annual salary, cash bonus and option awards to our executive officers, has a member that is not independent.
Indebtedness of Management
     For fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, our officers, directors and affiliates have no indebtedness to us.
Related Party Transactions
     It is our policy to have the Audit Committee review and approve all related party transactions. For fiscal year ended June 30, 2007, we had two related party transactions (see description of real estate transaction with Living In Style, LLC as described below under “Real Estate” in this Item 13 and the consultant relationship with Mr. James Bigl in Footnote 12 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year ended June 30, 2007). Our Audit Committee reviewed and approved both of the related party transactions.
Real Estate
     We rented two houses from Living In Style, LLC, an entity owned partially by Tery Baskin, a former executive officer, and James Bigl, a former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, which were used for out-of-town employees when they were visiting our Port Washington, New York headquarters. Pursuant to leases dated May 1, 2002, which expired April 30, 2007, we paid an aggregate of $128,000 in rent for these two facilities during the fiscal year ended June 30, 2007. Upon their expiration, we did not renew the leases for these two houses. We believe the related party transactions described above were negotiated on terms as favorable in the aggregate as could have been obtained from unrelated third parties.
Item 14. PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTANT FEES AND SERVICES.
     The following table presents fees for professional services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP for the audit of our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and June 30, 2006, as well as fees billed for other services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP during those periods:

Audit fees also include fees for work generally only the independent auditor can be expected to provide such as services associated with documents filed with the SEC and with assistance in responding to SEC comment letters, as well as reports on internal control reviews required by regulators.
 
(2)   Audit-related fees are fees paid for assurance and related services performed by our independent auditors including due diligence services related to contemplated mergers and acquisitions, and consulting on various accounting matters. Fees for these services have been approved by our Audit Committee.

(4)   All other fees include any fees earned for services rendered by Ernst & Young LLP during 2007 and 2006 which are not included in any of the above categories. Fees for these services have been approved by our Audit Committee.
Policy Regarding Pre-Approval of Services Provided by the Independent Auditors
     The Audit Committee Charter requires the Audit Committee’s pre-approval of all services, both audit and permitted non-audit, to be performed for us by the independent auditors. In determining whether proposed services are permissible, the Audit Committee considers whether the provision of such services is compatible with maintaining auditor independence. As part of its consideration of proposed services, the Audit Committee may (i) consult with management as part of the decision making process, but may not delegate this authority to management, and (ii) delegate, from time to time, its authority to pre-approve such services to one or more Audit Committee members, provided that any such approvals are presented to the full Audit Committee at the next scheduled Audit Committee meeting.
     All fiscal year 2007 audit and non-audit services provided by the independent registered public accounting firm were pre-approved.
