Quorum and Election

 

IVS Associates has been selected to tabulate the votes and to act as Inspector of Elections.

 

 

Quorum. Our bylaws provide that the presence, in person or by Proxy, of the holders of not less than a majority of the shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is necessary to constitute a quorum to conduct business at an Annual Meeting. Since attendance at the Annual Meeting is usually low, a quorum can only be achieved by Stockholder participation by Proxy. Please complete your Proxy and return it promptly.

 

 

Election. Delaware law and our bylaws provide the following:

 

 


 

Election of Directors. Directors shall be elected by a plurality of shares present in person or by Proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the election of directors. A director wins by "plurality" when he or she receives more votes than the number of votes cast for any other nominee.

 

 


 

Matters other than the election of directors. In all matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting other than the election of Directors, the affirmative vote of a majority of shares present in person or by Proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the subject matter will be the act of the Stockholders.

Tabulation of Your Proxy

 

The Inspector of Elections will tabulate your Proxy as follows:

 

 


 

All shares represented by a properly executed Proxy will be voted at the Annual Meeting in accordance with your instructions, unless you have taken steps to revoke or withdraw your Proxy.

 

 


 

Shares that are voted WITHHOLD or ABSTAIN will be counted as "present" for quorum purposes, but will have the same effect as voting against a proposal.

 

 


 

"Broker non-votes" are Proxies for shares held in record name by brokers or nominees, for which (i) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner or person entitled to vote and (ii) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power under applicable national securities exchange rules or the instrument under which it serves in such capacity. Broker non-votes are counted as "present" for quorum purposes, but they are treated as not entitled to vote on the matter. Therefore, broker non-votes are not counted for purposes of determining whether Proposals No. 1 and No. 2 have been approved.
         

3



 

 


 

Under the rules of the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE"), on certain routine matters, brokers may, in their discretion, vote the shares they hold in "street name" on behalf of the beneficial owners who have not returned voting instructions to the brokers. Routine matters include the election of directors (Proposal No. 1) and the ratification of the independent registered public accounting firm (Proposal No. 2).

 

 


 

If you sign and date your Proxy but do not provide instructions, your shares will be voted FOR ALL Board of Directors nominees for Class I Director (Proposal No. 1) and FOR the ratification of Ernst & Young LLP as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 (Proposal No. 2).

 

 


 

In addition to executing your voting instructions, the persons named in the Proxy will have discretionary authority to vote all Proxies with respect to additional matters that may be properly presented for action at the Annual Meeting. We are not aware of any other business to be presented at the Annual Meeting.

You May Revoke or Change Your Proxy

 

At any time prior to final tabulation of the votes on May 3, 2007, you may change your vote or revoke your Proxy by following one of the procedures set forth below:

 

 


 

Deliver a letter, signed and in writing, to our Secretary stating your desire to revoke your Proxy. The letter must be dated later than the date stated on the Proxy you wish to revoke. Address the letter to CIBER, Inc., Corporate Secretary, 5251 DTC Parkway, Suite 1400, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111.

 

 


 

Deliver a Proxy bearing a date later than the Proxy you wish to revoke to ADP Investor Communication Services, 51 Mercedes Way, Edgewood, NY 11717. You may use any available voting method to deliver your new Proxy, but the new Proxy must be received by ADP before the deadline for mail, telephone or Internet voting.

 

 


 

Attend the Annual Meeting via the Internet and submit your vote prior to the close of the polls. Follow the instructions for voting online during the Annual Meeting, which appear earlier in this section of this Proxy Statement.

PROPOSAL No. 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

Background   Each year at our Annual Meeting of Stockholders, directors constituting approximately one-third of the Board are elected for a three-year term or until a successor is duly elected and qualified. The terms of current Class I directors, Mr. Bobby G. Stevenson, Mr. James C. Spira and Mr. Peter H. Cheesbrough, will expire at this 2007 Annual Meeting. The terms of the Class II Directors, Mr. Mac J. Slingerlend and Dr. James C. Wetherbe, will expire in 2008. The terms of the Class III Directors, Mr. Archibald J. McGill, Mr. George A. Sissel and Mr. Paul A. Jacobs, will expire in 2009.

 

 

Pursuant to our bylaws, vacancies on the Board may be filled by the affirmative vote of a majority of the remaining directors then in office. A director elected to fill a vacancy, including a vacancy created by an increase in the size of the Board, serves for the remainder of the full term of the new directorship or of the class of directors in which the vacancy occurred. If the number of directors has changed, any increase or decrease shall be apportioned among the classes so as to maintain the number of directors in each class as nearly equal as possible, but in no case will a decrease in the number of directors shorten the term of any incumbent director.

Description of Proposal No. 1

 

Proposal No. 1 asks you to elect three individuals to serve as Class I Directors for the ensuing three-year term to expire in 2010, or until a successor is elected and qualified. The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee, with the approval of the non-incumbent members of the Board, has nominated for re-election Mr. Bobby G. Stevenson, Mr. James C. Spira and Mr. Peter H. Cheesbrough (the "Director Nominees").

 

 

We have received no Stockholder proposal or nomination of any other person to stand for election as Class I Director, timely or otherwise.


TEXT OF PROPOSAL NO. 1—ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

        The text of Proposal No. 1, as you will see it printed on your Proxy is as follows: "To elect the following nominees for Class I Director: Bobby G. Stevenson, James C. Spira and Peter H. Cheesbrough."

        Shares represented by Proxies that are not marked to "WITHHOLD ALL" authority to vote for the Director Nominees, or "FOR ALL EXCEPT" a specified individual that you must name, will be voted FOR the election of the Director Nominees. Should the Director Nominees become unavailable or unwilling to serve as directors, persons named in the Proxy intend to cast votes for which they hold Proxies in favor of the election of such other person as the Board may designate. The Board knows of no reason why Mr. Stevenson, Mr. Spira and Mr. Cheesbrough would be unable or unwilling to serve on the Board.


THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS A VOTE "FOR ALL" OF THE NOMINEES

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

        In November 2006, the Board adopted a written policy that requires the Audit Committee to review any financial transactions, arrangements or relationships which exceed $120,000 and in which we are a participant and a related party, as defined in Rule 404(b) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act, has a direct or indirect interest. Except as set forth below, there were no related party transactions during 2006, nor are any proposed as of the date of this Proxy Statement. Approval of the transaction will depend on whether or not the transaction is fair and beneficial to us. This policy is in addition to the conflict of interest policy found in our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics.

        Since January 2002, we have annually entered into a vendor agreement with CustomDepot.com for the design, manufacture and provision of custom logo paraphernalia for the CIBER gear program and for use at marketing events (the "Agreement"). This non-exclusive Agreement is one of several entered into with various companies in the ordinary course of business that provide logo-bearing paraphernalia for our events. The products and services are provided at or below market rates charged by third party vendors. CustomDepot.com is owned and operated by Ms. Terra Emerson, daughter of our Chief Executive Officer. Neither Mr. Slingerlend, nor any of our officers or directors, has a pecuniary or beneficial interest in CustomDepot.com. CustomDepot.com was paid $181,000 in 2006. The Audit Committee of the Board has reviewed this transaction pursuant to our Related Party Transaction policy requirements and believes it was beneficial to us and the terms were fair. We do not anticipate that 2007 expenditures with CustomDepot.com will reach the disclosure threshold.


SECTION 16(A) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE

        Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires that our directors, executive officers and persons who beneficially own greater than 10% of a registered class of our equity securities file initial reports of ownership and changes in ownership of such securities with us and the Commission. Based solely upon our review of copies of the Section 16(a) reports we have received and written representations from reporting persons, we believe that during the year ended December 31, 2006, all of our directors, executive officers and greater than 10% beneficial owners were in compliance with their filing requirements.


CORPORATE GOVERNANCE PRACTICES

        The Board met four times in 2006 in regularly scheduled quarterly meetings. Each director, including incumbents, participated either in person or by conference telephone in at least 75% of all the board meetings and committee meetings (of which such director was a member) held in 2006. Each director attended the Annual Meeting of Stockholders last year. Each director is expected to attend the Annual Meeting. We have a regularly scheduled Board meeting on the same day as the Annual Meeting of Stockholders each year, and all directors generally attend both meetings.

Corporate Governance

        We have had informal governance standards in place since our inception in 1974 that have evolved to accommodate our growth over the years and changing governance practices. Our Board has now adopted formal Corporate Governance Principles (the "Principles") to address matters of corporate governance including, but not limited to, Board composition and leadership, Board member qualifications, compensation, tenure and succession, Board organization, term and age limits, service on additional public company boards and audit committees and operation and committee responsibilities. Board members are also subject to the requirements of CIBER's Code of Business Conduct and Ethics which includes, among other things, a conflict of interest policy. In addition, the Board adopted a policy with respect to Related Party Transactions, as discussed in more detail above. The Principles, Code and Related Party Transaction Policy can be found on our website at www.ciber.com under

"Investor Relations," or you may request a copy by writing to us at CIBER, Inc., 5251 DTC Parkway, Suite 1400, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111, Attention: Investor Relations.

Executive Sessions

        Our non-management directors meet regularly in executive session without management. The executive sessions are chaired by the chairman of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee. The executive sessions are held in conjunction with each regularly scheduled Board meeting.

Communicating with the Board of Directors

        Any Stockholder who wishes to contact our Board of Directors may do so by following the procedures set forth on our website at www.ciber.com under "Investor Relations, Corporate Governance."

Independence

        At least a majority of the members of the Board and all members of the Board's Compensation, Audit and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees must be independent for purposes of Section 303A of the Listed Company Manual of the NYSE. The Board has determined that directors Mr. Bobby Stevenson, Mr. Peter Cheesbrough, Mr. Paul Jacobs, Mr. Archibald McGill, Mr. George Sissel, Mr. James Spira and Dr. James Wetherbe are "independent" pursuant to the standards identified on our website at www.ciber.com under "Investors Relations, Corporate Governance."

        The Board also gave further consideration to Dr. Wetherbe's independence in view of the fact that he holds the Bobby G. Stevenson Chair in Information Technology at Texas Tech University. The Board determined that this situation does not interfere with Dr. Wetherbe's independence as a member of our Board. In 1999, Mr. Stevenson made a donation to Texas Tech University. At the request of the University, Mr. Stevenson agreed that a portion of that donation could be used to endow a professorship in Information Technology. The faculty at the University went through a selection process, and the chair was filled by Dr. Wetherbe in 2000. Although Mr. Stevenson continues to make donations to Texas Tech, the chair is funded from the endowment earnings.

        Applying the NYSE standards listed in Section 303A, the Board has further determined that, with respect to their Committee assignments for 2007, Mr. Cheesbrough, Mr. Jacobs, Mr. McGill and Mr. Sissel have the requisite independence to serve as members of our Audit Committee under both the Exchange Act and NYSE requirements, that Mr. Spira, Mr. McGill and Dr. Wetherbe have the requisite independence to serve as members of our Compensation Committee and that Mr. Sissel, Mr. Jacobs and Dr. Wetherbe have the requisite independence to serve as members of our Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee pursuant to the NYSE requirements.

Code of Business Conduct and Ethics

        Our Code of Conduct is applied consistently to all employees and has been a prominent part of the Employee Handbook for several years. The Board of Directors has adopted a Code of Conduct and Business Ethics (the "Code") that applies to all employees but that has specific requirements for executive and senior financial officers with respect to the ethical standards and obligations relevant to accounting and financial reporting. The Code contains procedures for reporting suspected violations of the Code and references the Audit Committee procedure for the reporting of questionable accounting or auditing matters or other concerns about accounting and auditing matters. A copy of the Code, as well as the Audit Committee Procedures for reporting concerns about accounting or auditing matters, can be found on our web site at http://www.ciber.com under "Investor Relations," or you may request a copy by writing to us at CIBER, Inc., 5251 DTC Parkway, Suite 1400, Greenwood Village, Colorado 80111, Attention: Investor Relations. If a waiver from the Code is granted to an executive officer or director, the nature of the waiver will be disclosed on our website, in a press release or in a current report on Form 8-K.

NOMINATING/CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE

 

The principal responsibilities of the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee are to identify and nominate qualified individuals to serve as members of the Board, or to nominate candidates to fill such other positions as may be deemed necessary and advisable by the Board. In addition, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is responsible for establishing our Corporate Governance Guidelines and our Code of Business Conduct and Ethics and evaluating the Board and its processes.

NOMINATING/CORPORATE GOVERNANCE COMMITTEE CHARTER

 

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee's Charter can be found at
www.ciber.com/cbr under "Corporate Governance" or is available in print, free of charge, upon request to us. The Board believes that our directors must bring the skill mix and experience necessary to perform the Board of Directors' oversight function effectively. Identification of prospective Board members is done by a combination of methods, including studying other boards, word-of-mouth in industry circles, inquiries of outside professionals and recommendations made to us. When considering candidates for director, the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee takes into account a number of factors including, but not limited to, the following:

 

 


 

Experience with acquisitions
      Experience in marketing and sales
      Knowledge of our industry
      Experience with finance, accounting, internal audit and other financial matters
      Respect for the fiduciary responsibilities of directors to Stockholders
      Leadership skills
      Demonstrated sound business judgment
      Global perspective
      Interpersonal effectiveness
         

13


      Personal integrity
      The number of other boards and committees on which a candidate serves

 

 

When the Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee is recruiting Board members to serve on a designated committee, the Committee also takes into account skills and experience specific to that committee. For example, Audit Committee members must be financial experts and/or financially literate.

 

 

The Nominating/Corporate Governance Committee will consider nominees recommended by the Stockholders applying the criteria described above and in accordance with the process outlined below. Please also refer to the section entitled "Stockholder Proposals For Our 2008 Annual Meeting" located on page 5 for information related to Stockholder nominations.

No such nominations were received for the 2007 Annual Meeting.

AUDIT COMMITTEE

 

The principal responsibilities of the Audit Committee are: (1) engaging and overseeing the work of the independent auditor including the execution of the engagement letter and review of the audit plan; (2) reviewing the independence, internal quality control procedures and performance of the auditors and the qualifications of the key audit partner and audit managers; (3) overseeing the documentation, evaluation and testing of our system of internal controls; (4)  establishing our policy on provision of non-audit services; (5) pre-approving all audit and permitted non-audit services provided to us; (6) establishing the Committee's procedure for receiving and reviewing complaints regarding accounting, internal controls and auditing matters; (7) discussing policies and guidelines with respect to financial risk exposure and management; (8) receiving reports from, and reviewing with, the auditor critical accounting policies and practices, alternative treatments of financial information that have been discussed with management and the effectiveness of internal controls and any material written communications between the auditor and our management; (9) reviewing Management's Discussion and Analysis and our annual audited financial statements and periodic reports that include financial statements prior to filing or distribution; (10) discussing, generally, all financial press releases, other financial information and earnings guidance provided to analysts and rating agencies; (11) reporting to the Board with respect thereto; (12) reviewing and approving any related party transactions pursuant to our Related Party Transaction Policy and (13) determining and approving the compensation of the independent auditor.

Audit Committee Charter

 

The Audit Committee Charter is available for review on our website at
www.ciber.com/cbr under "Corporate Governance" or is available in print, free of charge, upon request to us.

"Audit Committee Financial Expert" and Financial Literacy

 

The Board has determined that, although other members of the Audit Committee may also qualify, Mr. Peter Cheesbrough qualifies as an "audit committee financial expert" pursuant to Item 407(d) of Regulation S-K. The Board has also determined that each of the members of the Audit Committee is financially literate consistent with the requirements of the NYSE Listed Company Manual.

Report of the Audit Committee(1)

 

The Audit Committee of the Board assists the Board in fulfilling its responsibilities for financial reporting compliance by reviewing the audited financial statements, reviewing the system of internal controls that management and the Board of Directors have established and reviewing the overall audit process. The Audit Committee, in its capacity as a Committee of the Board, is directly responsible for the appointment, compensation and oversight of the independent registered public accounting firm, and has:
         

15



 

 


 

reviewed and discussed the audited financial statements for 2006, separately and jointly with management and with Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y"), our independent registered public accounting firm;

 

 


 

provided oversight and advice to management with respect to the documentation, testing and evaluation of our system of internal control over financial reporting pursuant to Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and related regulations, received periodic updates provided by management and E&Y and reviewed a report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting;

 

 


 

discussed with E&Y the matters required to be discussed by the Statement on Auditing Standards No. 61, "Codification of Statements on Auditing Standards," AU§380, as modified or supplemented by the Auditing Standards Board of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants;

 

 


 

received the written disclosures and the letter from E&Y required by Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1, "Independence Discussions with Audit Committees," as may be modified or supplemented, and has discussed with E&Y its independence; and

 

 


 

further, considered whether the auditor's provision of non-audit services is compatible with independence and concluded that the services rendered by E&Y are compatible with maintaining the principal accountant's independence because no fees were billed for services other than audit, audit-related or tax services.

 

 

Based upon this review and discussions referred to above, the Audit Committee has recommended to the Board that the audited financial statements be included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2006, and that this report be included in the Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A for the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

 

 

By the Audit Committee:

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE

 

The principal responsibilities of the Compensation Committee are: (1) to administer and grant awards under our 2004 Incentive Plan and to administer the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (which are stock-based plans); (2) to review and discuss with management our philosophy, policies and procedures regarding executive compensation; (3) to review the performance of the Chief Executive Officer, Chief Operating Officer, Chief Financial Officer and the other Named Executive Officers (collectively, "NEOs"); (4) to recommend annual salary and bonus incentives for the NEOs and executive officers to our Board for approval; (5) to make recommendations regarding non-employee director compensation and (6) to review the Compensation Discussion and Analysis and recommend its inclusion in the Annual Report on Form 10-K and the Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A. The members of the Compensation Committee for 2006 were Mr. Spira (Chairman), Mr. McGill and Dr. Wetherbe. The Compensation Committee met once in 2006.

Compensation Committee Charter

 

The Compensation Committee Charter is available for review on our website at
www.ciber.com/cbr under "Corporate Governance" or is available in print, free of charge, upon request to us.

Compensation Committee Process

 

The Compensation Committee meets as often as necessary to perform its duties and responsibilities. Mr. Spira, our Compensation Committee Chair, works with our Chief Executive Officer to establish the meeting agenda. The Compensation Committee typically meets with the Chief Executive Officer and, where appropriate, with outside advisors. The Compensation Committee also meets in executive session without management. The Compensation Committee receives and reviews materials prepared by management or that we specifically request in advance of each meeting. The materials include financial reports on year-to-date performance against business plans, calculations and reports on achievement of individual and corporate performance goals and objectives, peer group performance, information about option grants under our broad-based and performance-based option grant programs, tally sheets setting forth all the NEO compensation and information about equity compensation dilution.

 

 

The Compensation Committee annually reviews the performance of and determines salary, bonus and equity compensation for the Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee also reviews and approves the salary, bonuses and equity compensation for the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the other NEOs and the remaining executive officers and sets the compensation targets for these individuals for the coming year based on the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, who plays a significant role in evaluating the performance of and setting the performance targets for these individuals. The Compensation Committee has delegated option granting authority to the Chief Executive Officer for option grants made pursuant to the Board-approved broad-based and performance-based option grant program for the Chief Financial Officer, the Chief Operating Officer, the other NEOs and the remaining executive officers.
         

17



 

 

The Compensation Committee charter grants the Compensation Committee direct authority to hire and fire advisors to and compensation consultants for the Committee. In February 2005, the Compensation Committee retained the services of Mercer Human Resources Consulting ("Mercer") to evaluate and make recommendations regarding the compensation of our Chief Executive Officer and, to a more limited extent, the compensation of our Chief Financial Officer, as discussed more fully in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement. The Compensation Committee retains a compensation consultant on an as-needed basis.

 

 

The Compensation Committee's process to review performance and approve compensation begins with establishing individual performance objectives for the NEOs in consultation with our Chief Executive Officer. The Compensation Committee reviews the appropriateness of the financial and non-financial measures used for incentive compensation and the Committee reviews the compensation levels for reasonableness and internal pay equity and against the publicly-available information of the companies in our peer group as a check against the competitiveness of our pay practices. The Compensation Committee periodically reviews performance against the objectives and, generally in the first quarter of the fiscal year, determines actual variable compensation payouts against targets, as well as objectives and compensation targets for the coming year.

Compensation Committee Report(1)

 

We have reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K and based on the review and discussions, we have recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

        Our Board annually reviews and establishes the compensation of our non-employee directors based on recommendations from our CEO in consultation with our Compensation Committee. In setting director compensation we review, among other things, director compensation surveys in publications for boards of directors and the publicly-available data of our peer companies.

        For 2006, all non-employee directors were paid a $25,000 annual retainer, of which 50-100% was paid in stock, with the percentage set by the individual director on a semi-annual basis. All non-employee directors also received shares of our Common Stock valued at approximately $2,500 for each Board and Annual Meeting attended. In addition, each director received a committee meeting fee of $1,500 per committee meeting attended. The Chairs of the Audit, Compensation and Nominating/Corporate Governance Committees of the Board received an additional retainer amount of $15,000, $10,000 and $5,000, respectively. For 2007, the non-employees directors will be paid a $30,000 all cash annual retainer and will receive shares of our Common Stock valued at approximately $2,500 for each Board and Annual Meeting attended and valued at approximately $1,500 for each committee meeting attended. Audit, Compensation and Nominating/Corporate Governance chairs will receive retainers in our Common Stock valued at approximately $15,000, $10,000 and $5,000, respectively.

        Each non-employee director receives an initial grant of options to purchase 20,000 shares of CIBER Common Stock when that director takes office. This initial option grant vests in equal annual installments over two years and expires 10 years from the date of grant. In addition, after each year of service, each non-employee director receives an anniversary option grant to purchase 5,000 shares of Common Stock. Anniversary option grants vest fully after one year and also expire 10 years from the date of grant. All options are granted under our 2004 Incentive Plan (the "Plan") approved by our stockholders at the April 27, 2004 Annual Meeting. The Plan is administered by the Board. The Plan also authorizes the Board, in its discretion, to adopt awards for director service on Board committees.

        We reimburse our directors for travel and lodging expenses incurred in connection with their attendance at directors' and Stockholders' meetings and at other Company-sponsored events. We also make long-term care insurance available to directors and/or their spouses, as well as to certain executive officers. Directors may participate at their option. The cost to us depends on the age of the director and/or spouse electing to participate but ranges from $3,497 to $5,402 per participating director per year. Except as set forth below for Mr. Stevenson, directors receive no perquisites other than the long-term care insurance, which did not reach the $10,000 disclosure threshold.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

Overview of Compensation Program

        We compensate our senior management through a mix of programs designed to keep us viable in an increasingly competitive marketplace. To that end, our compensation philosophy is intended to attract, retain and reward the most appropriate executive talent and to align the interests of senior management with those of our stockholders. Compensation programs for all employees, but particularly for our CEO, CFO, COO and other Named Executive Officers (collectively, "NEOs"), are determined considering the compensation for the executive officers of our competitor companies, as well as revenue size, profit, geographic scale and business model complexity and the position, responsibilities and performance of an individual NEO. Our compensation setting process consists of annually establishing individual base salaries, variable compensation (bonus) targets and equity compensation. Variable compensation targets are tied to achievement of measurable corporate and business unit performance goals and objectives. Internal pay equity is based on the premise that total compensation should be higher for individuals with greater responsibility and ability to impact the achievement of our strategic objectives.

        We seek to maximize the deductibility of compensation for tax purposes under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code; however, we may approve a compensation plan that does not qualify for the deduction if we determine it is in our best interests to do so. We are also committed to encouraging stock ownership by our senior executive officers. Accordingly, our Compensation Committee has adopted a formal stock ownership policy that requires our senior executive officers to own 1,000 shares of our Common Stock and 100,000 stock options and our directors to own 5,000 shares of our Common Stock and 25,000 stock options. Our officers and directors are expected to meet these requirements within one year of employment for senior executive officers and one year of election to the Board of Directors for directors and to hold stock options and Common Stock for at least six months after acquisition. Directors and senior executive officers are prohibited by our Insider Trading Policy from trading our Common Stock on margin.

        In February 2005, the Compensation Committee retained the services of Mercer Human Resources Consulting ("Mercer") to evaluate and make recommendations regarding the compensation of Mr. Slingerlend, our President and Chief Executive Officer, and, to a more limited extent, the compensation of Mr. Durham, our Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer. Mercer performed an analysis of our compensation practices and of nine comparable companies whose individual compensation information is publicly disclosed. The companies selected provide business consulting and solutions, systems integration, managed services and applications development in geographic areas and for customers similar to us. The companies included BearingPoint, Inc., Perot Systems Corp., MPS Group Inc., Keane Inc., SRA International, Inc., MAXIMUS Inc., Covansys Corp., Analysts International Corp. and Computer Horizons. Mercer analyzed compensation levels, reviewed tax and accounting implications and considered the impact of equity dilution and overhang, shareholder perspective and sound governance principles. Mercer met individually with members of our Board of Directors and senior management to learn about our operations and the markets in which we compete. Mercer concluded that Mr. Slingerlend's total compensation (salary, bonus and option grant value) was below market levels at the time of the study. Mercer's recommendations on Mr. Slingerlend's and Mr. Durham's long-term compensation were reviewed and approved with some modifications by the Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors and the decisions are reflected in Mr. Slingerlend's and Mr. Durham's compensation for 2005 and 2006. We have not used Mercer for any other consulting services.

23


        While publicly available information from peer group companies is not used as a final determination of compensation level, we continue to use such information to confirm that our compensation levels are reasonable and will allow us to remain competitive in the employment market. Our present compensation peer group includes Bearing Point, Inc., Perot Systems Corp., Modis (formerly MPS Group Inc.), Keane Inc. and MAXIMUS Inc. These companies were selected by the Compensation Committee because they offer information technology services similar to ours with both domestic and foreign clients, in both the public and private sectors and both customer and ERP computer systems. These companies have revenues between $300 million and $3.4 billion and are all public companies that disclose executive compensation information.

Elements of Executive Compensation

        Our executive compensation is performance-driven and consists of the following components: base salary, annual variable cash bonuses and equity compensation awards in the form of stock options. The base salary and annual cash bonuses are provided for in each NEO's annually-renewable employment agreement. The design of our total short-term compensation allocates approximately 60-65% to base salary and approximately 35-40% to variable compensation in the form of cash bonuses. The actual percentage mix with respect to each NEO is subject to the nature of the specific business for which each NEO is responsible and the application of the judgment of the Compensation Committee in consultation with the CEO. The annual variable cash bonuses that make up approximately 35-40% of short-term compensation represent approximately 50% of base salary. We believe this mix is appropriate to provide each executive with a competitive base salary and sufficient "at-risk" compensation to drive performance against objectives.

        In determining base salaries, we consider the executive's position and responsibilities, qualifications and experience, goals and responsibilities, competitive salaries at peer group companies, past performance, prior year(s) compensation and internal pay equity. Base salaries are reviewed annually and adjusted from time to time to align them with changes in the factors noted above, if necessary. The Compensation Committee sets the salary for Mr. Slingerlend, and reviews and approves the salaries for the other executive officers based on recommendations from Mr. Slingerlend. The following table reflects the adjustments made to the base salaries of the NEOs for the 2007 fiscal year (beginning January 1, 2007) based on the philosophy and principles discussed above.

Name

  Title
  2006 Base Salary
  2007 Base Salary
 
Mac J. Slingerlend   President & CEO   $ 565,000   $ 600,000  
David G. Durham   SVP & CFO   $ 330,000   $ 350,000  
David E. Girard   EVP & COO   $ 416,000   $ 425,000  
Wally Birdseye   SVP/Federal   $ 300,000   $ 310,000  
Terje Laugerud   President & CEO/Europe   $ 333,000 * $ 351,500 *

*
Amounts for Mr. Laugerud are based on a conversion rate of 1.85 British pounds sterling to 1 dollar throughout this Proxy Statement.

        We award variable compensation in the form of cash bonuses for achievement of specified performance objectives that have both qualitative and quantitative aspects. Each fiscal year, objectives are established for that fiscal year that relate to the operations that report to an individual NEO. The objectives are reflected in the annual business plans along with bonus targets for each objective. Bonus payments are calculated based on performance against the targets set for that fiscal year. The bonus

24


targets for Mr. Slingerlend are based on total company revenue growth and pre-tax income growth. Mr. Durham's 2006 targets were based on total company revenue and pre-tax income growth but were changed in the middle of 2006 to also include tax rate achieved and accounts receivable day's sales outstanding. Targets for Mr. Girard, Mr. Birdseye and Mr. Laugerud are business unit revenue and net operating income ("NOI") growth. In addition, certain qualitative metrics, that may include development of people, leadership, teamwork and dedication to our performance, are applied to all executives.

        The general criteria for the 2006 variable compensation awards of Mr. Slingerlend, Mr. Durham, Mr. Girard, Mr. Birdseye and Mr. Laugerud established by the Compensation Committee include: (1) a percentage award from 34-40% of total variable compensation opportunity for the achievement of the company revenue growth and business unit revenue growth targets; (2) a percentage award from 36-48% of total variable compensation opportunity for the achievement of company pre-tax income or business unit NOI growth targets and (3) a percentage award of 16-30% of total variable compensation opportunity for qualitative matters. In addition to the above targets, Mr. Durham had a target of up to 35% of his total variable compensation opportunity for tax rate achieved and accounts receivable day's sales outstanding. No bonus payments for a particular target will be made if less than the minimum is achieved and the maximum target must be achieved for a 100% payout on that target. Mr. Slingerlend and Mr. Durham also each have the opportunity to earn an additional $2,500 for each 1% the Company is over business plan for revenue and pre-tax income. Messrs. Girard, Birdseye and Laugerud also have the opportunity to earn an additional $5,000, $2,500 and $1,850, respectively, for each 1/2% each exceeds business plan with respect to revenue and for each 1% each exceeds business plan with respect to NOI.

        The following table illustrates the 2006 minimum and maximum business plan revenue and NOI targets and payout percentages on those targets for Messrs. Slingerlend, Durham, Girard, Birdseye and Laugerud. No NEO is guaranteed a bonus payment.

        The Compensation Committee approves the annual variable compensation award program for Mr. Slingerlend and, based on recommendations from Mr. Slingerlend, the annual variable compensation awards for Mr. Durham, Mr. Girard, Mr. Birdseye and Mr. Laugerud and such other senior officers as appropriate. We regularly make small annual adjustments to the percentages allocated to the qualitative and quantitative targets discussed above as necessary to focus senior management on what is important in the coming year. Compensation paid may also be adjusted by taking unforeseen circumstances, past difficulties and future challenges into account. This process has benefited us by contributing to the stability of our senior management team. For 2006, the target bonus awards were as follows: Mr. Slingerlend $350,000, Mr. Durham $180,000, Mr. Girard $250,000, Mr. Birdseye $150,000 and Mr. Laugerud $152,625. The actual cash bonuses earned by Mr. Slingerlend, Mr. Durham, Mr. Girard, Mr. Birdseye and Mr. Laugerud were $220,699, $122,371, $172,755, $30,000 and $100,623, respectively. In addition, during 2006 Mr. Birdseye was eligible to receive bonus payments in connection with a Federal segment plan by which senior level managers can receive bonuses for newly secured outsourcing, application development or enterprise integration business of specified minimum dollar values. Mr. Birsdeye received $21,334 in connection with that plan in 2006. For 2007, the target bonus awards will be as follows: Mr. Slingerlend $360,000, Mr. Durham $190,000, Mr. Girard $275,000, Mr. Birdseye $175,000 and Mr. Laugerud $185,000. These target bonuses vary compared to 2006 levels

25



for Messrs. Slingerlend, Durham, Girard, Birsdeye and Laugerud by $10,000, $10,000, $25,000, $25,000 and $32,375, respectively.

        We presently have no policy to recover payments if the relevant performance measures upon which they are based are restated or otherwise adjusted. We will review the need for such a policy as appropriate.

        We award NEOs non-qualified stock options as our form of equity compensation. We believe that stock options focus management on driving operating performance in a way that improves shareholder value. Our 2004 Incentive Plan (the "Plan") was approved by our Stockholders and incorporates, among others, the following features: (1) the term of the grant does not exceed 10 years; (2) the grant price is not less than the market price on the date of the grant and (3) re-pricing of options is prohibited unless approved by the Stockholders. Broad-based quarterly option awards vest 33% per year over three years and quarterly performance option awards vest 50% over two years. The vesting of discretionary options is determined at the time of the award and generally ranges from two to four years. Vesting periods are generally long enough to encourage executive retention and the preservation of shareholder value.

        We have reviewed our historical grants to our NEOs and are confident in the integrity of our stock option granting process. We do not grant options to NEOs during a trading "blackout period" under our Insider Trading Policy or when in the possession of material non-public information that may affect stock price. Non-NEO options, which are generally formulaic and small in amount, may be granted whether or not quarterly earnings have been publicly released.

        We have several options programs that are annually approved by our Board of Directors. For 2006, the programs consisted of a pool of approximately 500,000 options to be used for formulaic, quarterly, broad-based option grants, one-time option grants for new hires and exceptional employee contributions, ad hoc performance-based grants and quarterly performance-to-business plan grants. Our NEOs do not participate in the broad-based program. With the exception of Mr. Slingerlend, whose stock options awards were determined consistent with the Mercer recommendations, our NEOs are eligible for grants pursuant to the quarterly performance-based option grant program.

        In determining the number of options to be granted, we have established a guideline to grant no more than 1-2% of shares outstanding per year and to limit overall grants to avoid creating an overhang of more than 12% of shares outstanding. In making awards to individual executives and subject to the application of our judgment, we take into account the individual's position, scope of responsibility, ability to affect profits and shareholder value and the individual's past and present performance. In the case of Mr. Slingerlend, we have also taken into account the recommendations of Mercer to grant a number of options to address a historical compensation shortfall and to implement a more structured annual equity grant for Mr. Slingerlend.

        In 2006 and consistent with the Mercer recommendations, which the Compensation Committee believes continue to be relevant, the Compensation Committee awarded Mr. Slingerlend 200,000 stock options. In 2006, Messrs. Durham, Girard, Birdseye and Laugerud had the opportunity to earn, respectively, 5,000, 7,500, 5,000 and 5,000 stock options each quarter upon achievement of 95% of their business plan revenue and 85% of business plan NOI. The Compensation Committee approved option awards for Mr. Durham, Mr. Girard, Mr. Birdseye and Mr. Laugerud in amounts of 10,000, 22,500, 7,000 and 14,000 respectively for 2006. Quarterly stock option award opportunities for 2007 established by the Compensation Committee on the recommendation of Mr. Slingerlend are 5,000 for Mr. Durham, 7,500 for Mr. Girard, 5,000 for Mr. Birdseye and 5,000 for Mr. Laugerud.

26



        Our health care insurance and other welfare and employee-benefit programs are the same for all eligible employees, including our executive officers. Our executive officers also receive various modest personal benefit perquisites that we believe are consistent with their positions, the need for appropriate entertainment forums for customers and their roles in the community. We expect to continue to provide these perquisites. The perquisites may include physicals, membership in social and country clubs, life insurance and sporting event tickets and are more fully discussed in the Summary Compensation Table. To provide a competitive salary and benefits to Mr. Laugerud, as is customary in Europe, Mr. Laugerud's employment agreement provides for an annual automobile allowance of $24,420.

Post-Termination Compensation and Benefits

        Pursuant to their employment and change in control agreements, our NEOs may receive payments upon termination of employment other than for cause, or in the event of a change in control of the Company. We believe that reasonable severance benefits and payments upon a change in control are necessary components of a competitive pay package. Payments are appropriate in both instances given the period of time that may be necessary for an executive officer to find comparable employment following a termination or change in control. In addition, payments upon a change in control are appropriate because they provide stability and continuity of business leadership in a period of transition following a change in control thus benefiting our shareholders.

        The severance benefits payable under the employment agreements vary somewhat from executive to executive and are more fully set forth in the Termination and Change in Control Payments tables and narrative discussion below. Each employment agreement includes a covenant by the executive not to compete with us or to solicit our employees for 18 months following termination and each executive is subject to liquidated damages for breach of these covenants. These provisions are also part of the change in control agreements. Severance payments are not in addition to change in control payments.

        The provisions for payments under the change in control agreements supersede any similar provisions in our executives' employment agreements in the event of a change in control. The payments include a multiple of salary and target bonus (3 times for Mr. Slingerlend, 2 times for Mr. Girard and Mr. Durham, 1.5 times for Mr. Laugerud and 1 times for Mr. Birdseye), medical, life and disability and long-term care insurance premiums for up to 36 months following termination and one year of outplacement services. Two separate criteria must be met before payments are made upon a change in control. First, a change in control must occur as defined in the agreement and second, the executive must be terminated or constructively terminated. Accelerated vesting of an executive's equity compensation is at the judgment and discretion of our Board of Directors as the Administrator of our 2004 Incentive Plan. In addition, terminated executives would be entitled to receive any payments that they would otherwise have been eligible for under our 401(k) plan and, for Mr. Slingerlend, under his Salary Continuation Retirement Plan. Change in control payments are discussed in more detail in the Termination and Change in Control Payments tables and narrative below.

        On March 30, 1995, our Board of Directors entered into a Salary Continuation Retirement Plan (the "Plan") with Mr. Slingerlend under which we will make certain post-employment payments to him or his designated beneficiaries, except in the event of a termination for cause. Our Board of Directors believed such a plan was appropriate to recognize Mr. Slingerlend's efforts in our growth and success. Recent changes to the plan result from the Mercer recommendations.

27


        The Plan provides that payments will be made at the rate of one year for each year that Mr. Slingerlend was an employee of the Company, not to exceed 20 years. Payment will begin after Mr. Slingerlend's termination of employment and upon reaching age 60. Annual payment amounts will range from $137,500 at the present time to $200,000 per year, depending upon Mr. Slingerlend's age at the time of termination of employment. The Plan also provides that, should Mr. Slingerlend's employment terminate subsequent to a change in control of the Company, the payments will be 150% of the amounts payable at age 60-62 annually over a period not to exceed 20 years. Additional details are provided below in the Pension Plan Table.

Summary Compensation Table Discussion

        For 2006, the target variable compensation (bonus) awards were as follows: Mr. Slingerlend $350,000, Mr. Durham $180,000, Mr. Girard $250,000, Mr. Birdseye $150,000 and Mr. Laugerud $152,625. The actual cash bonuses earned by Mr. Slingerlend, Mr. Durham, Mr. Girard, Mr. Birdseye and Mr. Laugerud were $220,699, $122,371, $172,555, $30,000 and $100,623, respectively. Total actual bonus awards are reported in both the Bonus and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation columns. The Bonus column includes that portion of the bonus award that is discretionary and the Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation column includes that portion of the award that is based on the targeted performance plan approved by the Compensation Committee at the beginning of the fiscal year.

        For 2007, the target bonus awards will be as follows: Mr. Slingerlend $360,000, Mr. Durham $190,000, Mr. Girard $275,000, Mr. Birdseye $175,000 and Mr. Laugerud $185,000. These target bonuses vary slightly compared to 2006 levels, namely by $10,000, $10,000, $25,000, $25,000 and $32,375, respectively. Minimum bonus opportunity at business plan achievement is 100% and maximum payout for the NEOs is 110%. There is no guarantee of bonus payments for any NEO.

Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table Discussion

        As discussed in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis section of this Proxy Statement, option grants in 2006 to the CEO were, in part, based upon a study performed by Mercer in 2005 which concluded the "equity-based, longer-term" incentive compensation to the CEO was potentially considered as less than peer companies. The grants to NEOs other than the CEO are formula driven against performance targets built around the business plans of the respective NEO.

        If an NEO is awarded the maximum number of options under his performance plan, the options for fourth quarter performance will be awarded during the first quarter of the following year. Accordingly, Mr. Girard was awarded 7,500 stock options and Mr. Laugerud was awarded 4,000 stock options on January 25, 2007, as part of their respective 2006 programs.

(2)
In accordance with the Company's Annual Variable Compensation Plan for executives, there is the possibility of receiving additional payouts in the event that business plan targets for revenue and NOI are exceeded. Payments could be increased for Mr. Slingerlend and Mr. Durham by $2,500 for each additional 1% of revenue or NOI above business plan revenue and business plan NOI. Payments could be increased for Mr. Girard and Mr. Birdseye by $5,000 and $2,500, respectively, for each additional 1/2% of revenue above business plan revenue and for each additional 1% of NOI above business plan NOI. Payments could be increased for Mr. Laugerud by $1,850 (amount is based on a conversion rate of 1.85 British pounds sterling to 1 dollar) for each additional 1/2% of revenue over business plan revenue and each additional 1% of NOI over business plan NOI.

(3)
The attainment of these awards is determined on a quarterly basis after the prior quarter's results are known. Therefore, the grant of awards pertaining to the fourth quarter of 2006, if applicable, will be made during the first quarter of 2007.

Pension Benefits

        Mr. Slingerlend is the only executive who has a pension benefit other than 401(k) benefits. Our 401(k) is generally available to all our U.S. employees on a non-discriminatory basis. The CEO's Salary Continuation Retirement Plan (the "Plan") was established in March 1995 because the Board wanted to recognize the CEO's efforts in our growth and success. The Plan, which was last amended in March 2006, provides for benefit payments to be made for up to 20 years after Mr. Slingerlend's termination of employment with us, beginning with an annual payment of $137,500 if he retires at age 60 and increasing to $200,000 annually if he retires at age 65 or older. The Plan also provides that, if Mr. Slingerlend's employment terminates subsequent to a change in control of the Company, the payments will be $225,000, which is 150% of the amounts payable at age 60, payable annually for a period not to exceed 20 years. The Plan further provides that, in the event Mr. Slingerlend and his designated beneficiary under the Plan die simultaneously, the maximum benefit payable to Mr. Slingerlend's estate shall be $500,000. The net present value of the Plan is determined using a discount rate of 5% and assumes that Mr. Slingerlend retires from the Company at age 65 and receives benefits under the plan for 20 years. The present value of the accumulated benefit under the Plan was fully accrued by us as of December 31, 2006. The plan, however, is unfunded except in the case of change in control of the Company.

Annual payments to be made equal the number of years of service, not to exceed 20 years. For purposes of this analysis, we assumed retirement at age 65 with 24 years of service resulting in 20 annual payments.

(2)
Although we assumed for this analysis that the executive retired at age 65 with 24 years of service, the net present value of the Plan as of December 31, 2006, is $1,554,000 and the executive's 2006 increase under the Plan was $130,000.

(3)
No payment will be made under the Plan until six months and one day after termination of employment.


Termination and Change in Control Payments

        The numbers in the tables below are hypothetical numbers based on an assumed December 31, 2006 termination or change in control date. The numbers may be higher or lower depending on actual dates of termination or change in control. All payments are in addition to what the executive would normally be paid to the date of termination such as accrued base salary and unpaid bonus amounts. No executive will receive payments in addition to accrued base salary and unpaid bonus amounts in the event of a voluntary termination (other than retirement) or a termination for cause.

See the Pension Benefits Table at page 33 for discussion of the executive's supplemental executive retirement plan.

(2)
Assumes the executive's date of death or disability is December 31, 2006. 100% of base salary and last twelve months' target bonus is paid in the event of executive's disability; 50% of base salary and last twelve months' target bonus is paid in the event of the executive's death.

(3)
For purposes of this analysis, we assumed the executive's compensation as of the end of the 2006 fiscal year which is as follows: current base salary equal to $565,000 and an annual incentive opportunity target equal to $350,000. The executive's full salary is paid to the date of termination in all situations noted in the table. The executive is entitled to three times the sum of base salary and target bonus pursuant to his change in control agreement.

(4)
Pursuant to the executive's employment agreement, this amount is calculated as an amount equal to 5% of the prior year's actual bonus ($142,087 for 2005) multiplied by the number of months of service in the year of termination which is 12 assuming a 12/31/06 termination date.

(5)
The maximum amount payable for retirement at the age of 65 is determined by multiplying a benefit amount of $200,000 by the executive's tenure with us, not to exceed 20 years using a discount rate of 5%.

(6)
The maximum amount payable to the estate of the executive if the executive and the executive's designated beneficiary die simultaneously is $500,000.

(7)
In the event of a change in control, the benefit amount is 150% of the amount payable upon retirement.

(8)
The executive will receive medical, life and disability premiums in cash for 36 months, not to exceed $1,000 per month.

(9)
The 2007 COBRA benefit for Mr. Slingerlend is $9,650. We assumed an annual increase of 5% to estimate the COBRA rates for Mr. Slingerlend for 2008 and 2009.

(10)
Proceeds of life insurance policies payable to the executive's designated beneficiary.

(11)
We will continue to provide Mr. Slingerlend the long-term care benefits he was receiving immediately prior to the date of termination for a period of 36 months following termination.

(12)
The cost of outplacement services for an executive at the vice presidential level is approximately $5,000. We assumed that the services for an executive at Mr. Slingerlend's level would cost four times that amount.

(1)
Pursuant to Mr. Durham's employment agreement, he is entitled to 100% of his base salary opportunity in the event of a termination other than for cause.

(2)
For purposes of this analysis, we assumed termination as of December 31, 2006, and a base salary of $330,000. Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Durham is entitled to 50% of base salary in the event of death or disability.

(3)
For purposes of this analysis, we assumed the executive's compensation as of the end of the 2006 fiscal year was a current base salary equal to $330,000 and an annual incentive opportunity target equal to $180,000. The executive is entitled to two times the sum of base salary and target bonus pursuant to his change in control agreement.

(4)
The executive will receive medical, life and disability premiums in cash for 12 months, not to exceed $1,000 per month.

(5)
For purposes of this analysis, we determined the 2007 COBRA benefit for Mr. Durham of $12,838 and then we assumed an annual increase of 5% to estimate the COBRA rates for 2008 and 2009. Benefits are payable for a period of 36 months following the date of termination and may be reduced to the extent the same type of benefits are received or made available to the executive other than by us.

(6)
Proceeds of life insurance policies payable to the executive's designated beneficiary.

(7)
We will continue to provide Mr. Durham the long-term care benefits he was receiving immediately prior to termination for a period of 36 months following termination.

(8)
The cost of outplacement services for an executive at the vice presidential level is approximately $5,000. We assumed that the services for an executive at Mr. Durham's level would cost two times that amount.

For purposes of this analysis, we assumed the executive's compensation at the end of 2006 was $416,000 in base salary, his annual incentive opportunity target was $250,000 and termination occurred December 31, 2006. Pursuant to the executive's employment agreement, the executive will receive 12 weeks of base salary plus 1/4 of the aggregate fully earned bonus for the most recent three months prior to the date of termination.

(2)
The executive is entitled to two times the sum of base salary and target bonus pursuant to his change in control agreement.

The cost of outplacement services for an executive at the vice presidential level is approximately $5,000. We assumed that the services for an executive at Mr. Girard's level would cost two times that amount.

(1)
For purposes of this analysis, we assumed the executive's compensation at the end of 2006 was $300,000 in base salary, his annual incentive opportunity target was $150,000 and termination occurred December 31, 2006. Pursuant to the executive's employment agreement, the executive will receive eight weeks of base salary and 1/3 of the aggregate fully earned bonus compensation for the most recent three months before the date of termination.

(2)
For purposes of this analysis, we assumed the executive compensation at the end of the 2006 fiscal year was $300,000 in base salary and an annual incentive opportunity target of $150,000. The executive is entitled to one times the sum of base salary and target bonus pursuant to his change in control agreement.

(3)
The executive will receive medical, life and disability premiums in cash for 12 months, not to exceed $1,000 per month.

(4)
For purposes of this analysis, we determined the 2007 COBRA benefit of $9,650 and then we assumed an annual increase of 5% to estimate the COBRA rates for 2008 and 2009. Benefits are payable for a period of 36 months following the date of termination and may be reduced to the extent the same type of benefits are received or made available to the executive other than by us.

(5)
The cost of outplacement services for an executive at the vice presidential level is approximately $5,000. We assumed that the services for an executive at Mr. Birdseye's level would cost two times that amount.

(1)
If the executive is terminated other than for cause, he is entitled to nine months of his salary as severance. For purposes of this analysis, we assumed the executive compensation at the end of the 2006 fiscal year was $333,000 in base salary. This analysis assumes a British pound to the dollar conversion rate of 1.85/1.00.

(2)
The executive is entitled to 1.5 times the sum of base salary and target bonus pursuant to his change in control agreement. For purposes of this analysis, we assumed the executive compensation at the end of the 2006 fiscal year was $333,000 in base salary and an annual incentive opportunity target of $149,850.

(3)
There is no private health care benefit in the U.K. that continues beyond the executive's termination.

(4)
The executive's life insurance benefit is three times his annual salary not to exceed $925,000.

(5)
The executive is entitled to a continuation of the perquisites that are in place at the time of termination to the same extent as if the executive continued to be employed by us for a period of 36 months following termination. Mr. Laugerud receives an annual automobile expense of approximately $24,420.

(6)
The cost of outplacement services for an executive at the vice presidential level is approximately $5,000. We assumed that the services for an executive at Mr. Laugerud's level would cost two times that amount.

        Below is a description of the assumptions that were used in creating the tables. Unless otherwise noted, the descriptions below are applicable to all of the above tables relating to payments upon termination or change in control.

Executive Covenants

        As a condition to the executives' entitlement to receive the base salary amounts referenced in the tables above, the executive is bound by the terms of a non-competition agreement that prohibits the executive from directly or indirectly (i) working for, or investing in, any business in which we have engaged or actively investigated becoming engaged, (ii) soliciting a client or potential client of ours for the purpose of competing with us and (iii) soliciting for hire or hiring an employee of ours for a period of 18 months following termination of employment. The executive is subject to liquidated damage provisions in the event of a breach of any of these prohibitions.

        In addition and as a condition to each executive's entitlement to receive the payments referenced in the tables above in connection with a Change in Control, the executive is required to execute a waiver of claims against us. In addition in connection with a Change in Control, the executive agrees to remain in our employ until the earliest of (i) a date which is six months after the date of a potential Change in Control, (ii) the date of a Change in Control, (iii) the date of termination by the executive of the executive's employment for good reason or by reason of death, disability or retirement, or (iv) the date of termination by us of the executive's employment for any reason.

38



Payments and Benefits in Connection with Change in Control

        The executive will be entitled to certain benefits as described in the tables above if the executive's employment is terminated by us other than for cause, by death or disability or terminated by the executive for good reason within the two year period immediately following a Change in Control. The executive's benefit under this provision is equal to a multiple (for Mr. Slingerlend-3 times, Mr. Durham and Mr.Girard-2 times, Mr. Birdseye-1 times and Mr. Laugerud-1.5 times) of the sum of base salary, target annual incentive compensation and the value of any contributions or allocations made on his behalf to any pension plan for the fiscal year.

        A Change in Control means: (i) a 5% increase in the beneficial ownership of our securities by a person who is the beneficial owner of our outstanding securities representing 15% or more of the combined voting power of our then outstanding securities, or a person who becomes the beneficial owner of our securities representing 33% or more of the combined voting power of our then outstanding securities; or (ii) any individuals who constitute the Board and any new director whose appointment by the Board or nomination for election by our stockholders was approved or recommended by a vote of at least two-thirds (2/3) of the directors in office cease for any reason to constitute a majority of the number of directors then serving; or (iii) a merger or consolidation in which we are not the surviving corporation (other than a merger or consolidation with a wholly-owned subsidiary or effected to implement a recapitalization in which no person becomes the beneficial owner of 33% or more of the combined voting power of our then outstanding securities or (iv) approval of a plan of liquidation or dissolution by our stockholders or the consummation of an agreement for the sale or disposition of all, or substantially all, of our assets other than a sale or disposition to an entity where at least 80% of the voting securities are owned by our stockholders immediately prior to such sale.

        The executive will be entitled to certain benefits as described in the tables above if we terminate the executive's employment for reasons other than cause or terminated by the executive for good reason. A termination is for cause if it is for the willful and continued failure by the executive to substantially perform the executive's duties or the willful engaging by the executive in conduct which is demonstrably and materially injurious to us considered as a whole, monetarily or otherwise. A termination by the executive for good reason means the (i) assignment to the executive of duties that are inconsistent with the executive's level of responsibility immediately before the Change in Control or any diminution in the nature of status of the executive's responsibilities or (ii) a reduction by us in the executive's annual base salary, annual incentive compensation opportunity or long-term incentive compensation opportunity or (ii) the relocation of the executive's principal place of employment more than 50 miles from the executive's principal place of employment immediately before the Change in Control.

        For a period of 36 months following a termination in connection with a Change in Control, we will provide the executive and the executive's dependents life, death, accident and health benefits substantially similar to that provided before termination. Such benefits shall be at no greater after tax cost to the executive than the after tax cost to the executive immediately before the date of termination. For purposes of the tables above, we determined the 2007 COBRA benefit of $9,650 for Mr. Slingerlend, $12,838 for Mr. Durham, $13,120 for Mr. Girard and $9,650 for Mr. Birdseye. There is no private health care benefit payable for Mr. Laugerud under the health care system in the U.K. We then assumed an annual increase of 5% to estimate the COBRA rates for each executive for 2008 and 2009. Benefits are payable for a period of 36 months following the date of termination and may be reduced to the extent the same type of benefits are received or made available to the executive other

39


than by us. For the same 36-month period noted above, we will continue to provide Messrs. Slingerlend, Durham and Girard with the long-term care perquisite the executive was receiving immediately prior to the date of termination.

        We will also provide the executive with one year of outplacement services beginning with the executive's first use of such services. We believe the cost for one year of outplacement services for a vice presidential level is approximately $5,000. We have assumed that the cost of such services for Mr. Slingerlend's position would be approximately four times that amount and the costs of such services for Messrs. Durham, Girard, Birdseye and Laugerud would be approximately two times that amount.

        Upon a Change in Control of the Company, the executive may be subject to certain excise taxes pursuant to Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code. We have agreed to reimburse the executive for all excise taxes that are imposed on the executive under Section 280G and any income and excise taxes that are payable by the executive as a result of any reimbursements for Section 280G excise taxes. The total 280G tax gross-up amount in the above tables assumes that the executive is entitled to a full reimbursement by us of (i) any excise taxes that are imposed upon the executive as a result of the change in control, (ii) any income and excise taxes imposed upon the executive as a result of our reimbursement of the excise tax amount and (iii) any additional income and excise taxes that are imposed upon the executive as a result of our reimbursement of the executive for any excise or income taxes. The calculation of the 280G gross-up amount in the above tables is based upon a 280G excise tax rate of 20%, a 35% federal income tax rate, a 1.45% Medicare tax rate and a 4.63% state income tax rate. For the purposes of the 280G calculation it is assumed that no amounts will be discounted as attributable to reasonable compensation. The payment of the 280G tax gross-up will be payable to the executive for any excise tax incurred regardless of whether the executive's employment is terminated. However, the amount of the 280G tax gross-up will change based upon whether the executive's employment with us is terminated because the amount of compensation subject to Section 280G will change.

Equity Treatment in Connection with Change in Control

        Pursuant to the provisions of our 1994 and 2004 Incentive Plans ("Plans"), vested options must be exercised within three months of the date of a voluntary termination or a termination other than for cause. In the event of retirement, vested options must be exercised within three months of the date of retirement if they are Incentive Stock Options and within 12 months of the date of retirement if they are Non-Statutory Stock Options. Unvested options are void for all purposes in the event of a for cause termination. The Board or a Board committee consisting of outside directors, as the Administrator of the Plans, may determine whether and to what extent to accelerate the vesting and dates of exercise of all or any portion of the options in the event of a termination for all other reasons or in the event of a change in control. Vesting of unvested options in the event of termination for all other reasons is at the discretion of the Board as Administrator of the Plans. In the event of death, vested options may be exercised by those entitled to do so under the laws of distribution and descent within 12 months following the date of the executive's death.

        In the event of a change in control of the Company, the Board may, in its sole discretion, take any or all of the following actions: (a) accelerate the exercise dates of any outstanding options or make all such options fully vested and exercisable; (b) grant a cash bonus award to any option holder in an amount necessary to pay the option price of all or any portion of the options then held by such option holder; (c) pay cash to any or all option holders in exchange for the cancellation of their outstanding options in an amount equal to the difference between the option price of such options and the greater of the tender offer price for the underlying stock or the fair market value of the stock on the date of the cancellation of the options; (d) make any other adjustments or amendments to the outstanding

40



options. The definition of a change in control in the Company's 2004 Incentive Plan varies somewhat from the definition in the change in control agreements. Under the 2004 Incentive Plan, a "change in control" occurs if: (a) any "person" or "group" (within the meaning of Sections 13(d) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act), other than Bobby G. Stevenson or a trustee or other fiduciary holding securities under an employee benefit plan of ours or under a trust, the grantor of which is Bobby G. Stevenson, is or becomes the "beneficial owner" (as defined in Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), directly or indirectly, of more than 331/3% of our then outstanding voting stock; or (b) at any time during any period of three consecutive years (not including any period prior to the Effective Date), individuals who at the beginning of such period constitute the Board (and any new director whose election by the Board or whose nomination for election by our stockholders was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was previously so approved) cease for any reason to constitute a majority thereof; or (c) our stockholders approve a merger or consolidation, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in our voting securities outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity) at least 80% of the combined voting power of our voting securities or such surviving entity outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation, or the stockholders approve a plan for our complete liquidation or an agreement for the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of our assets.

Other Post-Termination Benefits

        Benefits under any of our benefit plans in which an executive is a participant will be available to the executive (or executive's estate in the case of executive's death) to the full extent of the executive's rights under such plan.

Non-qualified Deferred Compensation

        We do not provide any nonqualified defined contribution or other deferred compensation plans.


PROPOSAL No. 2—RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

        Background:    The Audit Committee has selected the firm of Ernst & Young LLP ("E&Y") to act as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007, and has further directed that management submit the selection of E&Y for ratification by the Stockholders at the Annual Meeting. E&Y audited our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006.

        Description of Proposal No. 2:    Proposal No. 2, which has been recommended by the Board for your consideration, asks you to ratify the selection of E&Y as our independent registered public accounting firm. Stockholder ratification of the selection of E&Y as our Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm is not required by our bylaws or otherwise. The Audit Committee believes that submitting the selection of E&Y to the Stockholders for ratification is advisable as a matter of good corporate practice. If the Stockholders fail to ratify the selection, the Audit Committee will consider whether or not to retain E&Y; however, the Audit Committee may select E&Y notwithstanding the failure of the Stockholders to ratify the selection. If the appointment of E&Y is ratified, the Audit Committee will continue to conduct an ongoing review of E&Y's scope of engagement, pricing and work quality, among other factors, and will retain the right to replace E&Y at any time.

        The text of Proposal No. 2, as you will see it printed on your Proxy is as follows: "To ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as the Company's Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007."

        THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE "FOR" RATIFICATION OF THE APPOINTMENT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP AS THE COMPANY'S INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2007.

41



INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

        Representatives of E&Y, the independent registered public accounting firm selected for the most recently completed fiscal year, are expected to attend the Annual Meeting. Representatives of E&Y will have an opportunity to make a statement if they desire to do so and will make themselves available to respond to appropriate questions.

        Fees.    Set forth below is a summary of the fees billed to us by E&Y for each of the last two fiscal years, for the categories described below:

        Audit Fees.    The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by E&Y for audit of our annual financial statements included in our Form 10-K, review of our quarterly financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q, statutory audits required internationally, consents and accounting consultations and such other services that generally only our independent registered public accounting firm can provide.

        Audit-Related Fees.    The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by E&Y for employee benefit plan audits, and certain attestation services not required by statute traditionally performed by independent registered public accounting firms.

        Tax Fees.    The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for professional services rendered by E&Y for tax compliance, tax advice and tax planning. The nature of the tax compliance services provided in this category includes preparation of tax returns and refund claims. Tax planning services include assistance with tax audits and appeals, advice with respect to mergers, acquisitions and dispositions or other technical advice.

        All Other Fees.    The aggregate fees billed in each of the last two fiscal years for products and services provided by E&Y, other than the services reported above.

Audit Committee Pre-Approval Policy

        The Audit Committee has established pre-approval policies and procedures in compliance with 17 CFR 210.2-01(c)(7)(i) which include criteria for considering whether the provision of the services would be compatible with maintaining the independence of our registered public accounting firm and a process by which the Chair of the Audit Committee may approve such audit and non-audit services with subsequent review of all pre-approved services by the full Audit Committee.
