Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Overview

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis explains our compensation philosophy, policies and practices with respect to our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, and the other three most highly-compensated executive officers, who are collectively referred to as the named executive officers. This discussion focuses on the information contained in the following tables and related footnotes and narrative discussions for primarily the last completed fiscal year, but we also describe compensation actions taken before or after the last completed fiscal year to the extent they enhance the understanding of our executive compensation disclosure.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives

The Compensation Committee’s overall goals with respect to executive officers are to provide compensation programs designed to achieve the following objectives:

·      Attract and retain talented and dedicated executives;

·      Motivate and reward executives whose knowledge, skills, potential and performance are critical to our success; and

·      Align the interests of our executive officers and shareholders by motivating executive officers to increase shareholder value and rewarding executive officers when shareholder value increases.

The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective compensation program is one that provides competitive base pay, rewards the achievement of goals and objectives, and provides an incentive for retention. The principal elements of our executive compensation program are base salary, annual cash incentives, long-term equity incentives (the vesting of which may accelerate upon termination of employment and/or a change in control), other benefits and perquisites, and post-termination severance compensation.

Setting Executive Compensation

Each year we evaluate whether the elements of our executive compensation program are aligned with our compensation philosophy and objectives, while also promoting the interests of our shareholders.  As part of this evaluation, we subscribe annually to a number of compensation data resources to evaluate the compensation of our executive officers compared to similar positions in the marketplace, including resources published by CompAnalyst, Western Management Group and the Institute of Management & Administration. The surveys provide base salary and bonus compensation data. In addition, in 2007, to assist management and the Compensation Committee in assessing and determining competitive compensation packages, we engaged an independent compensation consultant to evaluate our base compensation and bonus structure for certain executive officers and other key employees.  The compensation consultant prepared an analysis (the “Compensation Benchmark Analysis”) comparing the base level salary and bonus compensation structure of our executive officers and other key employees to those of executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities as described in executive compensation surveys obtained from WTPF, Mercer Human Resource Consulting, Culpepper and others. The consultant determined relevant similar positions based on business focus, executive job descriptions and size of company based on revenue.  The surveys analyzed by the consultant to prepare the Compensation Benchmark Analysis provided base salary and bonus compensation data for similarly sized companies, but did not identify the component companies by name. The Compensation Benchmark Analysis compared the base salary and total compensation for certain of our executive officers to corresponding data in the 25^th percentile, 50^th percentile and 75^th percentile for executives in similar positions covered by the surveys.

5

In general, our objective is to compensate our executive officers at levels between the 50^th and 75^th percentiles for executives in similar positions, which we believe usually allows us to satisfy the objectives described above.  The Compensation Committee has sometimes deemed it appropriate to compensate certain executives at levels exceeding the 50^th or 75^th percentile for executives in similar positions due to the executives’ experience and the market for executives with similar experience, scope of responsibility, accountability and impact on our operations, and the impact their departure could potentially have on our performance.

Except as described below, our Compensation Committee has not adopted any formal or informal policies or guidelines for allocating compensation between long-term and currently paid out compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation, or among different forms of non-cash compensation.

Elements of Compensation

Base Salary

Salary levels are typically considered annually as well as upon promotion or other change in job responsibility. The Compensation Committee, with input from the Chief Executive Officer, considers competitive, individual and company performance data in order to make compensation decisions that will incentivize, retain and maintain a competitive standing for each executive officer. The Compensation Committee considers several factors when adjusting an executive’s salary, including individual and company performance, the executive’s market value and prospective value to us, the knowledge, experience and accomplishments of the executive, the executive’s level of responsibility, the recommendation of the Chief Executive Officer and the compensation levels for individuals with similar credentials.  In 2007, the Compensation Committee also utilized the Compensation Benchmark Analysis to assist in determining the appropriate adjustment to each executive’s annual base salary. The Compensation Benchmark Analysis compared the base salaries for our executives with those of executives in similar positions with similar responsibilities at a number of similarly sized companies, analyzing various factors including revenues, responsibilities and markets served.  The Compensation Committee compared compensation of our executive officers to that of executives in comparable positions with comparable responsibilities to ensure the compensation of our executive officers was competitive with that of the relevant marketplace.  Our Chief Executive Officer recommended salary adjustments for the executive officers, including himself, to the Compensation Committee and provided the Compensation Committee with supporting documentation from the Compensation Benchmark Analysis.

Cash-Based Incentive Compensation (Bonus)

The annual incentive compensation award for 2007 for Ms. Esposito-Mayer, Mr. Baer and Mr. Davis was a discretionary cash bonus based on our performance against our financial and operational performance objectives for the year. The discretionary annual bonus is paid in cash after review and approval by the Compensation Committee, with advice from the Chief Executive Officer, in March or April following completion of each fiscal year. The annual discretionary bonus is ordinarily paid in a single installment shortly after being approved by the Compensation Committee. Information provided by the Compensation Benchmark Analysis is considered when determining bonus awards, along with performance of the business unit(s) for which the executive is responsible (viewed on the basis of financial performance against budget and achievement of employee training, appraisal and retention goals), our overall financial performance, and the executive’s individual performance.

Our Chief Executive Officer and our President receive cash bonuses based upon a formula contained in their employment agreements.  The formula ties the bonus payable to them to increases in our earnings before income taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) compared to the prior year, as adjusted for acquisitions and dispositions as defined in their employment agreements. EBITDA is a widely used non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance. EBITDA is calculated by adding back interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization to net income. Under their employment agreements, the Chief Executive Officer’s and President’s bonuses are (a) 1% of base salary for each 1% increase in EBITDA, up to a 10% increase; (b) then 2% of base salary for each 1% increase in EBITDA, up to a 15% increase; (c) then 3% of base salary for each 1% increase in EBITDA, up to a 25% increase; subject to a maximum bonus for any calendar year of 50%

6

of his base salary for that year. In calculating the bonus for Mr. Greenberg and Mr. Sharp, for any year in which we acquire any business, the formula set forth in their employment agreements requires that EBITDA for the prior year be adjusted to reflect the budgeted EBITDA of the acquired business (as set forth in the budget numbers on which the acquisition was based) for the period from the date of the acquisition to the end of the calendar year in which the acquisition takes place. For 2007, our EBITDA, as adjusted for the budgeted EBITDA of businesses we acquired in 2007, increased 16%. For 2007, the bonuses determined in accordance with their employment agreements (the “Employment Agreement Bonuses”) were $81,190 for Mr. Greenberg and $78,200 for Mr. Sharp. Their calculated bonuses for 2007 represented 23% of their respective salaries, based upon the 16% increase in EBITDA in accordance with the formula set forth above. The Compensation Committee determined that the Employment Agreement Bonuses for 2007 adequately compensated the Chief Executive Officer and the President for their respective performance. However, at the Chief Executive Officer’s request, the Compensation Committee approved bonuses for the Chief Executive Officer and President that were slightly below the Employment Agreement Bonuses to which they were otherwise entitled. The actual bonuses paid were $80,000 to Mr. Greenberg and $75,000 to Mr. Sharp.

The Compensation Committee has in the past awarded additional discretionary cash bonuses (the “Discretionary Bonuses”) based upon our financial and operational performance and individual performance achievements. The Employment Agreement Bonuses and the Discretionary Bonuses are reflected in the columns of the Summary Compensation Table entitled “Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation” and “Bonuses,” respectively.

Long-term Equity Incentive Compensation

Our Compensation Committee also grants to the named executive officers equity compensation under our 1973 Non-Qualified Stock Option Plan and our 2003 Incentive Stock Plan. Equity compensation for the named executive officers, which has historically taken the form of stock options and restricted stock or restricted stock units, is designed to align the interests of our executives with our shareholders as well as to retain the executives. Equity grants are also intended to drive long term performance, in that the value ultimately realized is linked to stock price appreciation. Option grants have no value without stock price appreciation, and restricted stock has value at grant that can increase with stock price appreciation. Thus, the Compensation Committee believes that equity grants should motivate management to enhance the value of our common stock.

We do not have a formal policy for issuing equity compensation and do not always grant equity awards on an annual basis. Occasionally, the Compensation Committee awards equity compensation to supplement our executive officers’ compensation to ensure that total compensation is competitive in the marketplace and to align compensation with our long term goals and objectives.

Stock Options

In June 2007, the Compensation Committee granted stock options to certain of our officers and key employees to purchase an aggregate of 880,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $11.08 per share. The stock options, which are non-qualified stock options for tax purposes, were granted pursuant to our 2003 Incentive Stock Plan and expire on June 26, 2013. The options are subject to acceleration of vesting upon a change of control and in the case of Messrs. Greenberg and Sharp, termination of employment based on the provisions specified in their respective employment agreements. The stock options vest over the course of five years in accordance with the following vesting schedule: 10% one year after grant; an additional 15% two years after grant; an additional 20% three years after grant; an additional 25% four years after grant, and the remaining 30% five years after grant. The following named executive officers received grants of stock options in June 2007:

7

Restricted Stock and Restricted Stock Units

In March 2005, we granted Mr. Greenberg and Mr. Sharp 42,000 and 34,000 shares of restricted stock, respectively. These awards were fully vested at grant because they were attributable to their 2004 service, but the shares had a restriction on sale until December 31, 2007.

In April 2005, we also granted Ms. Esposito-Mayer, Mr. Baer and Mr. Davis 23,000 restricted stock units each, which vest over five years from the date of grant.

Other Benefits

We also provide our named executive officers with the following other benefits which are part of our overall compensation program and which we believe are consistent with the types of benefits offered by competitors:

·      Retirement Savings Plan: We maintain a defined contribution 401(k) plan which permits all eligible employees to participate. The plan requires us to match at least 25% of the participants’ contributions, up to the first 7% of base compensation for employees who have completed one year of service.  We may make additional matching contributions at our discretion.  In 2007, we matched 50% of participants’ contributions in shares of our common stock, up to the first 7% of participants’ base compensation.

·      Health and Welfare Benefits:  All full-time employees, including our named executive officers, may participate in our health and welfare benefit programs, including medical, dental and vision care coverage, disability insurance and life insurance.

·      Life Insurance Premiums: Life insurance policies, in excess of the standard life insurance plans offered to full-time employees, are offered to the named executive officers.  During 2007, the executive life insurance policies provided coverage up to three times the executive’s annual base salary.  The premiums are fully paid by us.  A policy may, at the executive’s election, be transferred to the executive upon termination of employment.

·      Automobile Allowances: During 2007, Mr. Greenberg, Ms. Esposito-Mayer and Mr. Sharp used vehicles leased or owned by us for both business and personal use; and we provided Mr. Baer and Mr. Davis with a monthly car allowance in lieu of a vehicle leased by us.

Employment Agreements, Severance Benefits and Change in Control Provisions

All of the five named executive officers have written employment agreements which provide for separation payments and benefits upon termination of employment under certain circumstances. Post-termination payments with respect to each of these executives are set forth in their respective employment agreements. The termination provisions for these executives are summarized in the “Potential Payments upon Termination or Change in Control” section later in this report. In June 2007, the Compensation Committee approved amendments to the employment agreements of Mr. Greenberg and Mr. Sharp. The existing employment agreements of Mr. Greenberg and Mr. sharp, as previously amended, were due to end on June 30, 2008. The amendments to both employment agreements extend the terms of the agreements indefinitely, subject to termination upon two years’

8

notice or for cause, as provided in the employment agreements. The amendments also delete the requirement for annual minimum mandatory salary increases. In September 2007, we also entered into new employment agreements with Ms. Esposito-Mayer, Mr. Baer and Mr. Davis, whose prior employment agreements had expired.

Tax Deductibility of Executive Compensation

Limitations on deductibility of compensation may occur under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, which generally limits the tax deductibility of compensation paid by a public company to its chief executive officer and certain other highly compensated executive officers to $1 million in the year the compensation becomes taxable to the executive officer.  There is an exception to the limit on deductibility for performance-based compensation that meets certain requirements. We intend that compensation paid under our incentive plans  be generally fully deductible for federal income tax purposes. However, the Compensation Committee may approve compensation that exceeds the $1 million limitation in order to ensure competitive levels of total compensation for our executive officers.

Summary Compensation Table

The following table sets forth all compensation earned by each of the named executive officers for the 2007 and 2006 fiscal years. The named executive officers are the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, and the three other most highly compensated officers who were serving as executive officers at December 31, 2007.

Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

Description of Termination Provisions in Employment Agreements

We have employment agreements with all five of the named executive officers. These agreements provide for various payments and benefits to be made to them if their employment with us is terminated for certain reasons. The circumstances in which payments may be made and the potential amounts of those payments are described in this section.  We believe that the payments provided for in these agreements are reasonable and appropriate as part of the total compensation packages available for our named executive officers.  The following description of certain terms of the employment agreements with our named executive officers is a summary and is subject to, and qualified in its entirety by, the agreements, which have been filed as exhibits to our filings with the SEC.  The employment agreements between us and each of Messrs. Greenberg and Sharp do not have definite terms.  Each of their employment agreements will continue in effect until terminated:

·      by the executive’s death or disability;

·      by the executive for “good reason,” as defined below;

·      by us for “cause,” as defined below;

·      by us or the executive by giving the other not less than two (2) years notice; or

·      by mutual agreement between us and the executive.

The employment agreements between us and each of Ms. Esposito-Mayer, Mr. Baer and Mr. Davis have an initial term ending on February 28, 2009 but the term is automatically extended unless the agreement is terminated by us or the executive by giving the other notice of a decision to terminate the agreement prior to a date determined by the agreements.  As such dates have passed for each of the executives, the agreements have been extended and now will continue in effect until terminated:

·      by the executive’s death or disability;

·      by the executive for “just cause,” as defined below;

·      by us for “cause,” as defined below;

·      by us or the executive by giving the other a period of  “required notice,” as defined below; or

·      by mutual agreement between us and the executive.

The “required notice” period is one month for each year of service with us but not more than fifteen months, which means twelve months for Ms. Esposito-Mayer and fifteen months for Mr. Baer and Mr. Davis.

The discussion and tables below reflect the estimated termination benefits that would be paid or accrue to each of the named executive officers in the event of the following termination scenarios:

·      Termination for Cause – If we terminate the employment of one of the named executives for “cause,” as defined below, such executive would be entitled to unpaid base salary and continuation of benefits through the date of termination only.

“Cause” is defined under the employment agreements of Messrs. Greenberg and Sharp as follows:

·      Willful and continued failure to substantially perform his duties or obligations under the employment agreement (after notice and failure to cure); or

·     Willful engaging in misconduct which is materially monetarily injurious to us.

12

“Cause” as defined under the employment agreements of Ms. Esposito-Mayer, Mr. Baer and Mr. Davis exists if such executive shall:

·      Be convicted, plead guilty, or enter a plea of nolo contendere to a felony or a crime involving moral turpitude; or

·      Commit any act or omit to take any action in bad faith and to our detriment; or

·      Willfully and continually fail to perform his or her duties or obligations under any provision of the employment agreement in any material respect, and shall not correct such failure within ten days after receipt of written notice thereof; or

·      Fail to perform his or her duties or obligations pursuant to the non-compete and confidential information provisions of his or her employment agreement in any material respect.

·      Termination upon disability – We may terminate the employment of a named executive officer in the event of such executive’s incapacity due to extended physical or mental illness. In the case of disability, the affected executive would be entitled to his or her unpaid base salary and continuation of benefits through the date of termination only. If Mr. Greenberg or Mr. Sharp has been absent from his duties on a full-time basis for the entire period of six consecutive months due to physical or mental illness, we may terminate his employment thirty days after giving him notice of termination if he has not returned to the performance of his duties on a full-time basis within those thirty days. If Ms. Esposito-Mayer, Mr. Baer or Mr. Davis is unable fully to discharge his or her duties for a period of ninety consecutive days due to a serious health condition (as defined in the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993) and after giving effect to any reasonable accommodation required by law, we may terminate his or her employment as of a date specified in a notice of termination given to such employee.

·      Termination upon death – In the event of death, each of the named executive officers is entitled to his or her full salary through the date of death and we are required to pay his or her spouse or estate the following: for Messrs. Greenberg and Sharp – an amount equal to his full salary for one year after the date of death; and for Ms. Esposito-Mayer, Mr. Baer or Mr. Davis –  his or her full salary through the end of the calendar month within which termination occurred plus his or her full salary for the following two calendar months, and for purposes of the vesting of any stock units outstanding and unvested as of the date of termination of his or her employment, he or she shall be deemed to have been employed through the remaining period under the employment agreement.

·      Termination without cause, or for “good reason” or “just cause” – If we terminate a named executive officer’s employment without cause or a named executive officer terminates his or her employment for “good reason” or “just cause,” as defined below, then the named executive officer would be entitled to certain compensation discussed in detail below.

“Good reason” is defined under the employment agreements of Messrs. Greenberg and Sharp as follows:

·      A change in control as defined in his employment agreement; or

·      A management change in control as defined in his employment agreement; or

·      A failure by us to comply with any material provision of the employment agreement which has not been cured within ten days after notice of such noncompliance has been given to us by the executive; or

·      Any purported termination of the executive’s employment by us which is not effected pursuant to a notice of termination satisfying the requirements of the employment agreement.

Ms. Esposito-Mayer, Mr. Baer and Mr. Davis shall be deemed to have resigned for “just cause,” under the terms of their employment agreement, in the event that he or she resigns within sixty days following either:

·      Our imposition, without express written consent of the executive, of any significant change in his or her function, duties, or responsibilities that is not consistent with him or her being an executive, unless we rescind or modify such change within ten business days after receipt of written notice from the executive; or

13

·      Our failure to make any material payment, or provide any material benefit to the executive pursuant to the employment agreement, unless we correct any such deficiency within ten business days after receipt of written notice from the executive; or

·      Our breach of any other term of the employment agreement, unless we correct such failure or breach within thirty days after written notice from the executive.

Termination Payments under Mr. Greenberg’s Employment Agreement

If we terminate Mr. Greenberg’s employment without cause, or if he terminates his employment for “good reason” other than as a result of a management change in control, we are obligated to pay him his full salary and provide his benefits through the date of termination, pay his full bonus for the calendar year in which the date of termination occurs, and pay as severance an amount equal to his average annual cash compensation received from us during the three full calendar years immediately preceding the termination date, multiplied by the greater of (i) the number of years that would have been remaining in the employment period if his employment had not been terminated and (ii) three. In addition, all options to purchase common stock granted to him shall become fully vested and we must provide him with continued benefits for three years under all employee benefit plans and programs in which he was entitled to participate prior to the termination.

If Mr. Greenberg terminates his employment as a result of a management change in control, we are obligated to pay him his full salary and provide his benefits through the date of termination, pay his full bonus for the calendar year in which the date of termination occurs, and pay as severance an amount equal to his average annual cash compensation received from us during the three full calendar years immediately preceding the termination date, multiplied by two. In addition, all options to purchase common stock granted to him shall become fully vested and we must provide him with continued benefits for two years under all employee benefit plans and programs in which he was entitled to participate prior to the termination.

Termination Payments under Mr. Sharp’s Employment Agreement

If we terminate Mr. Sharp’s employment without cause, or if he terminates his employment for “good reason” other than as a result of a management change in control, we are obligated to pay him his full salary and provide his benefits through the date of termination, pay his full bonus for the calendar year in which the date of termination occurs, and pay as severance an amount equal to his average annual cash compensation received from us during the three full calendar years immediately preceding the termination date, multiplied by the greater of (i) the number of years that would have been remaining in the employment period if his employment had not been terminated and (ii) three. In addition, all options to purchase common stock granted to him shall become fully vested and we must provide him with continued benefits for three years under all employee benefit plans and programs in which he was entitled to participate prior to the termination.

If Mr. Sharp terminates his employment as a result of a management change in control, we are obligated to pay him his full salary and provide his benefits through the date of termination, pay his full bonus for the calendar year in which the date of termination occurs, and pay as severance an amount equal to his average annual cash compensation received from us during the three full calendar years immediately preceding the termination date. In addition, all options to purchase common stock granted to him shall become fully vested and we must provide him with continued benefits for one year under all employee benefit plans and programs in which he was entitled to participate prior to the termination.

Termination Provisions of Employment Agreement with Ms. Esposito-Mayer, Mr. Baer and Mr. Davis

If during the term of either Ms. Esposito-Mayer’s, Mr. Baer’s or Mr. Davis’ employment agreements we terminate his or her employment without “cause” or any of them terminates his or her employment for just cause and he or she is in full compliance with his or her obligations under the employment agreement, we are obligated to pay the executive his or her base annual salary at the rate in effect on the date of such termination, and the executive will continue to be eligible to receive such benefits as he or she would have been entitled to had his or her employment not terminated, for a period of time after termination equal to the length of the required notice. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “Change in Control” or “Sale of the Company,” as defined in each of their employment agreements,

14

all stock options to purchase common stock granted to him or her shall immediately become fully vested and exercisable, and all stock units granted to him or her must immediately be paid in unrestricted shares of common stock.

Potential Post-Employment Payments

The amounts shown in the table below assume that the noted triggering events occurred on December 31, 2007 with respect to the five named executive officers. Other relevant assumptions and explanations are provided in the footnotes following the table. The amounts shown reflect only the additional payments or benefits that a named executive officer would have received upon the occurrence of the respective triggering events listed below; they do not include the value of payments or benefits that would have been earned, or any amounts associated with equity awards that would have vested absent the triggering event. As discussed above, none of the named executive officers receive additional compensation in the event of voluntary or involuntary termination for “cause” or in the event of disability.

The amount included in the table represents the fair value of Mr. Sharp’s outstanding options as of December 31, 2007 based on the closing price of our common stock on December 31, 2007 of $10.65.

(13)      Represents an estimate of the incremental cost to the Company for benefits continuation for one year subsequent to the termination date.

Director Compensation

Our Board of Directors has adopted guidelines for the compensation of our non-employee directors. Our non-employee directors are paid a retainer of $25,000 per year. In addition, the Chairman of the Board receives an additional $40,000 per year; the Chairman of the Audit Committee receives an additional $15,000 per year; members of the Audit Committee receive an additional $5,000 per year; the Chairman of the Compensation Committee receives an additional $5,000 per year; and members of the Compensation Committee receive an additional $2,500 per year. These annual fees are prorated and paid on a quarterly basis. At the option of the directors, up to one-half of the fees may be paid in shares of our common stock. In December 2007, our Board of Directors approved future compensation for non-employee directors to also include 500 shares of our common stock for each quarter served as a director, commencing with the first quarter of 2008.

In addition to the annual retainers, each non-employee director receives $1,500 for each Board meeting attended and $750 for each committee meeting attended, but only if the committee meeting is held on a different date than the Board meeting.

On September 14, 2006, we granted 2,000 shares of restricted stock to each non-employee director, which vested quarterly over one year subsequent to the grant date.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

Review & Approval Process for Related Person Transactions

Our Corporate Governance Guidelines, a copy of which may be viewed on our website, require each director to avoid any action, position or interest that conflicts with an interest of the Company or gives the appearance of a conflict.  Although there is no formal written procedure in those Guidelines for handling such situations when they arise, in practice our Board of Directors, or a committee thereof, is responsible for reviewing and approving, all related person transactions. A related person transaction is a transaction, arrangement or relationship (or any series of similar transactions, arrangements or relationships) in which the Company and any “related person” are participants. A related person is an executive officer, director, or more than 5% stockholder of the Company, including any of their immediate family members, and any entity owned or controlled by such persons.

Our Conduct of Business Policy, a copy of which may be viewed on our website, governs related person transactions involving executive officers and the Company.  It prohibits activities or relationships which are incompatible with employment by the Company or which places the executive in a position where there is a conflict between the executive’s private interests and the interests of the Company, its subsidiaries or affiliates.  Executives are required to immediately disclose such situations to their supervisor, the Company’s Ethics Program Compliance Officer, or the Company’s General Counsel for a determination of appropriate action.  The Company maintains a Hotline for employees to confidentially report questionable activities or seek advice in handling ethics-related issues.

Related Transactions

Indebtedness

On April 1, 2002, we entered into an incentive compensation agreement with Jerome I. Feldman (former Chief Executive Officer until April 2005 and Director of the Company until December 2007) pursuant to which he was eligible to receive up to five payments of $1,000,000 each, based on the closing price of our common stock sustaining or averaging increasing specified levels over periods of at least 10 consecutive trading days. On June 11, 2003, July 23, 2003, December 22, 2003, November 3, 2004 and December 10, 2004, he earned incentive payments of $1,000,000 each. We recorded compensation expense of $2,000,000 and $3,000,000 for the years ended December 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively, for this incentive compensation. Under the terms of the incentive compensation agreement, Mr. Feldman deferred payment of the incentive payments until May 31, 2007.

To the extent there were any outstanding loans from Mr. Feldman at the time an incentive payment was payable, we had the right to off-set the payment of such incentive payment first against the outstanding accrued interest under such loans and next against any outstanding principal. On May 31, 2007, we applied the entire deferred incentive compensation earned by Mr. Feldman during 2004 and 2003 against the unpaid accrued interest and principal on his outstanding loans which had been issued to him previously (in year 2000 and prior) to exercise stock options to purchase Class B Common Stock of the Company.

As of May 31, 2007, we had notes receivable and accrued interest from Mr. Feldman of approximately $207,000 after offsetting Mr. Feldman’s deferred incentive compensation earned in 2003 and 2004, as discussed above. Mr. Feldman repaid the outstanding note receivable balance and accrued interest owed by him to us in cash in June 2007.

Management Services Agreement with NPDC

Prior to the spin-off of NPDC in 2004, NPDC was a wholly-owned subsidiary of GP Strategies.  In connection with the spin-off, we entered into a separate management agreement with NPDC pursuant to which we provided certain general corporate services to NPDC and were reimbursed for such services. The term of the agreement extended for three years from the date of the spin-off, or through November 24, 2007. For the years ended December 31, 2007, 2006 and 2005, NPDC paid us management fees of $352,000, $925,000 and $1,141,000,

20

respectively, as compensation for these services. Although the management agreement expired on November 24, 2007, we ceased providing such services to NPDC on May 31, 2007.

Directorships

Certain of our Directors also serve as Directors of NPDC and GSE. Scott N. Greenberg is currently a Director of NPDC and GSE, and was Chief Financial Officer of NPDC until August 2007. Harvey P. Eisen is Chairman of the Board of NPDC and Managing Member of Bedford Oak Partners LP, which owns approximately 19.2% of the issued and outstanding shares of NPDC.

Guarantees

Subsequent to the spin-off of NPDC, we guaranteed certain operating leases for Five Star’s New Jersey and Connecticut warehouses, totaling approximately $1,589,000 annually through March 31, 2007. The leases have been extended and now expire in the first quarter of 2009. The annual rent obligations are currently approximately $1,600,000. In connection with our spin-off of NPDC, NPDC agreed to assume our obligation under such guarantees; to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause us to be released from such guaranty and to hold us harmless from all claims, expenses and liabilities connected with the leases or NPDC’s breach of any agreements effecting the spin-off. We have not received confirmation that we have been released under such guarantees.

Subsequent to the spin-off of NPDC, we continued to guarantee the repayment of one debt obligation of MXL Industries, Inc. (“MXL”), which is secured by property and certain equipment of MXL.  The aggregate outstanding balance as of December 31, 2007 was $1,005,000.  Our guarantee expires upon the maturity of the debt obligation in March 2011.

Director Independence

Our Board of Directors reviews the independence of its members on an annual basis. No Director will be deemed to be independent unless the Board affirmatively determines that the Director in question has no material relationship with GP Strategies, directly as an officer, stockholder, member or partner of an organization that has a material relationship with GP Strategies. The Board has not adopted any categorical standards of Director independence, however, the Board of Directors employs the standards of independence of the NYSE rules currently in effect in making its determination that a Director qualifies as independent. In its annual review of Director independence, the Board considers all commercial, banking, consulting, legal, accounting, charitable or other business relationships any Director may have with GP Strategies. As a result of its annual review, the Board of Directors has determined that Harvey P. Eisen, Marshall S. Geller, Sue W. Kelly, Richard C. Pfenniger, Jr., A. Marvin Strait and Gene A. Washington are independent and that Scott N. Greenberg, Chief Executive Officer, is not independent. We have Nominating/Corporate Governance, Compensation and Audit Committees and based on these standards, all current members of such committees are independent.

Policy on Pre-Approval of Services Provided by Independent Auditor

Pursuant to the requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, the terms of the engagement of KPMG are subject to specific pre-approval policies of the Audit Committee. All audit and permitted non-audit services to be performed by KPMG require pre-approval by the Audit Committee in accordance with pre-approval policies established by the Audit Committee.
