Annual Cash Incentive Payment

The Compensation Committee considers the use of annual performance bonuses from time to time where appropriate, to motivate participants to achieve company growth and enhance shareholder value. The incentive bonus plan permits plan participants to receive a cash bonus that is tied to the company’s financial performance during a specified fiscal year. We do not presently have in effect an annual cash bonus plan in effect with respect to any of the named executive officers other than for our former Chief Operating Officer, Peter Cohen. Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Cohen was eligible to receive an annual performance bonus, upon the achievement of specified goals in each fiscal year, commencing in 2007, based upon the amount of increase in annual operating income after 2006. The agreement provides for an annual bonus of between EUR 20,000 – 100,000, depending upon the amount of increase in operating income in the applicable fiscal year. No bonus was paid or accrued for 2007 or 2008 as the financial targets were not achieved. Information regarding this bonus plan is contained below under the heading “Employment Contracts, Termination of Employment Contracts and Change in Control Arrangements.”

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Long-Term Equity Based Compensation Awards

To date we have relied upon cash flow from operations as
our principal source of working capital. As a result, we have placed special emphasis on equity-based compensation, in the form of options, to preserve our cash for operations. Long-term equity based compensation awards are granted to our executive
officers pursuant to our employee stock option plan. The Compensation Committee believes that long-term equity based compensation awards are an effective incentive for senior management to increase the long-term value of the company’s common
stock as well as aiding the company in attracting and retaining senior management. These objectives are accomplished by making awards under the plan, thereby providing senior management with a proprietary interest in the continued growth and
performance of the company and more closely aligning their interests with those of our shareholders. In addition, because options generally terminate within 90 days after the date an executive leaves the company (other than because of disability or
retirement at age 65 or older), we believe that options are a useful incentive in promoting the retention of executives.

All
determinations regarding the granting of options, including the amount, exercise price and terms of vesting, are made by the Compensation Committee after seeking input from management, subject to the approval of the full Board of Directors acting as
the option committee under the employee stock option plan. The Compensation Committee makes long-term equity based compensation awards after a review of a number of factors, including length of service, the performance of the company, the relative
levels of responsibility of the executive and his or her contributions to the business, including recommendations of supervisors, and prior option grants received by the executive. Awards may be granted to the same executive on more than one
occasion.

Stock option grants may be subject to a vesting period based upon continued employment during the option
term or may fully vest upon grant. The Compensation Committee may make grants at any particular time during the year, and the full board of directors approves such grants. The exercise price of the options must be at least equal to the fair market
value of such shares on the date the stock option is granted or such later date as the option committee specifies.

No options were granted
to any of the named executive officers in 2006 or 2007, as their current levels of overall compensation were considered adequate.
