From: John Ritchie

Date: October 23, 2007

Subject: Action Required: Urgent Information Regarding Your EFI Stock Options

Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code imposes certain adverse tax consequences (including income tax at vesting, an additional 20% excise tax and interest charges) on stock options that were granted at a discount from fair market value (“discount options”) and which vest after December 31, 2004.
