| As previously disclosed in our proxy statement for the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, in February 2010, the Named Executive Officers received annual incentive award payouts under the 2009 Management Incentive Plan. In view of the Companys actual financial results during 2009, which did not meet expectations, and taking into account the CEOs recommendations, the Board of Directors exercised its discretion to approve payouts in amounts that represented 20% (on average) of targeted award levels, reduced from the 50% (on average) of targeted award levels that would have been called for by the plan formula based on actual 2009 performance. | ||
| The Named Executive Officers did not receive long-term equity incentive awards in 2010 except for Mr. DAngelo who received a restricted stock award on February 8, 2010 of 25,000 shares, along with a long-term cash incentive award of $100,000.

| In May 2010, the Board approved target award performance measures under the 2010 Management Incentive Plan, with target award opportunities consistent with the employment arrangements with the Named Executive Officers. | ||
| In December 2010, the Board considered and took action required under the Merger Agreement to mitigate or eliminate the possibility of the Company incurring obligations in respect of gross-up payments to Named Executive Officers relating to excise taxes under section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code in connection with certain change in control payments to be made to such officers upon closing of the Safran Merger. In that regard, the Board determined that it would limit the 2010 annual incentive awards for each executive to between 25% and 50% of the targeted amounts and accelerated the payment of 25% of the target incentive award payments to each of Mr. LaPenta, Mr. DePalma and Mr. Molina. | ||
| In March 2011, the Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board of Directors approved the final annual incentive award payouts under the 2010 Management Incentive Plan to the Named Executive Officers The approved payouts, including amounts approved in December 2010, represented 41% (on average) of targeted award levels. |

The amounts for Mr. DAngelo also include a long-term cash incentive award of $100,000 granted in February 2010, which vests annually over a three year period, and a transaction bonus of $150,000, contingent upon and payable on the consummation of the Safran Merger. The 2010 Management Incentive Plan does not provide a minimum guaranteed payment. The target award was 75% of base salary earned for the year as provided by Mr. LaPentas employment agreement, 60% of base salary earned for the year as provided by each of Messrs. DePalmas, Aticks and Molinas employment agreement and 50% as provided by Mr. DAngelos offer letter. The actual amounts paid to the Named Executive Officers under the 2010 Management Incentive Plan are as follows: Mr. LaPenta $206,062, Mr. DePalma $106,650, Dr. Atick $108,000, Mr. Molina $93,150, and Mr. DAngelo $63,000. Also, Mr. DAngelo was paid $33,333 in February 2011 representing one-third of the long-term cash incentive award that vested. |
1. | Term. For three years ending on August 29, 2012, with automatic one-year extensions unless either party gives 90 days advance written notice of non-renewal. Mr. DAngelos offer letter does not have a fixed term. | |
2. | Compensation and Benefits. During the term of the agreement, the respective Named Executive Officers are eligible to receive the following compensation: |
a. | Base Salary. An initial base salary of $785,000 for Mr. LaPenta, $395,000 for Mr. DePalma, $400,000 for Mr. Atick, $345,000 for Mr. Molina and $225,000 for Mr. DAngelo that was subsequently increased to $285,000 on July 1, 2010. Such base salaries may be adjusted by the Board of Directors in its discretion. Each annual review will occur after the Companys year-end results have become available, with any increases in base salary being retroactive to January 1. Each of the Named Executive Officers will receive a lump sum payment in respect of any retroactive adjustments. At the time of the July 2009 employment agreement amendments the |

Compensation Committee considered the recommendations of our CEO with respect to base salary increases for the Named Executive Officers, but elected to postpone taking action on such recommendations until February 2010, except for Mr. DAngelo whose salary was adjusted in 2010. No adjustments have taken place since August 2008. |
b. | Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation. An annual bonus with a target payout equal to 75% of base salary for Mr. LaPenta, 60% of base salary for Messrs. DePalma, Atick and Molina and 50% for Mr. DAngelo, with the actual payout (which can be more or less than target) determined by the Board of Directors in its discretion, based on the achievement of corporate and individual objectives determined by the Board of Directors. Any annual bonus payable to Messrs. LaPenta and DePalma may be paid in stock units at the election of such executive. If paid in stock units, each of Mr. LaPenta and Mr. DePalma have elected to defer the settlement of such units as permitted in his respective employment agreement. Each stock unit settles into one share of the Companys common stock. The 2010 bonus for Messrs. LaPenta and DePalma was paid in cash. | ||
c. | Additional Benefits. Participation in the Companys health, welfare, and fringe benefit programs for management employees, and reimbursement of all reasonable expenses incurred by the Named Executive Officer in his performance of services on behalf of the Company. | ||
d. | Equity Compensation. Awards of equity-based compensation during the term are at the discretion of the Board of Directors. |
3. | Termination. Under specified circumstances, the Named Executive Officer or the Company may terminate his employment prior to the end of the term of the agreement.

(1) | These options vest (become exercisable) in four equal annual installments, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. | |
(2) | These options were granted in connection with the satisfaction of award payouts under the 2006 Management Incentive Plan. | |
(3) | Grant dates prior to August 29, 2006 for Dr. Atick and Mr. Molina represent option awards attributable to such executives service with Identix prior to the merger of Viisage and Identix. These option awards are fully exercisable as a result of accelerated vesting triggered by the merger. The Company assumed these options in the merger. | |
(4) | These options were granted in connection with the satisfaction of award payouts under the 2007 Management Incentive Plan. | |
(5) | Restricted stock awards vest (become transferable) in four equal annual installments, beginning on the first anniversary of the date of award. Each employment arrangement, other than as applicable to Mr. DAngelo, provides for an additional payment to compensate the executive officer for any excise tax incurred by such executive officer under Section 4999 of the Code. In the Merger Agreement, Safran and the Company agreed to cooperate, and the Company agreed to take all actions reasonably requested by Safran, on or prior to December 31, 2010, as are necessary to reduce and/or avoid the application of Section 280G of the Code to the payments to be made to such executive officers. Pursuant to such obligations, our board of directors took action prior to the end of 2010 to accelerate the vesting of 12,000 and 5,000 restricted shares held by Mr. LaPenta and Mr. DePalma, respectively, which restricted shares would have in the ordinary course become vested in February 2011. | |
(6) | Market value is based on the closing sales price of the Companys common stock on the NYSE on December 31, 2010 (the last trading date of the fiscal year) which was $11.91 per share. |

(1) | For purposes of this analysis, we have assumed the executives compensation is as follows: current base salary equal to $785,000, a targeted annual incentive award opportunity equal to 75% of his base salary, and outstanding stock option awards as reflected in the Outstanding Equity Awards at Fiscal Year-End Table for 2010, on page 24 of this Item 11. | |
(2) | Assumes the executives date of termination of employment was December 31, 2010. The market price of the Companys common stock on December 31, 2010 (the last trading date of the fiscal year) was $11.91 per share. To the extent the market price of the Companys common stock exceeds, or is less than, $11.91 per share upon an applicable termination of employment, the value of any acceleration of vesting of stock options and restricted stock awards will be correspondingly greater or less, as the case may be. The same benefits and amounts will be payable upon a failure to renew the agreement prior to the expiration of the term of the agreement. | |
(3) | Represents the excess of $11.91 over the exercise price of in the money options. For the purposes of this analysis we have assumed the immediate acceleration of all outstanding unvested stock options and the lapse of restrictions on all restricted stock awards upon a change-in-control. All outstanding stock options will remain exercisable for a period of three years from the date of termination of employment, subject to the maximum original term of such options. This extension of the post-termination exercise period has not been separately valued for purposes of this disclosure. | |
(4) | The amount shown for Severance represents 24 months base salary, plus an amount equal to the bonus paid to Mr. LaPenta for 2009 performance (the last completed fiscal year as of December 31, 2010). However if the Merger is consummated in 2011 the actual payment will be based on the 2010 incentive award of $206,062 rather than the 2009 incentive award of $100,000. Fifty percent of this payment is to be made five business days after the termination date, with the remainder to be paid on the next business day following the six month anniversary of the termination date. | |
(5) | Assumes a termination of employment without Cause or for Good Reason (each as defined in the employment agreement). Upon an actual termination of employment, tax liability amounts would change to reflect base salary and bonus amounts then applicable, and would reflect the then-applicable value of the accelerated vesting of stock-based awards. The calculation of the potential tax liability amount is based on the value of the accelerated vesting of stock-based awards at a price per share of Company common stock of $11.91. In addition, for purposes of calculating the potential tax liability we have considered Mr. LaPentas taxable income for the years 2006 to 2010 as reflected in his W-2, which reflects the impact of the actions taken by the Board at its December 30, 2010 meeting to eliminate the potential tax liability. Had the potential tax liability amount been determined based on Mr. LaPentas taxable income for the years 2005 to 2009 the hypothetical tax liability amount would have been $933,813 and the total payments would have been $6,451,869. |

(3) | Pursuant to the Companys standard non-employee director compensation arrangements in effect for the period January 1, 2010 through February 2, 2010, each non-employee director received an annual stock award of 3,000 shares of the Companys common stock that is payable annually on the first business day of each calendar year. Effective February 3, 2010, the annual base-level TDC for each non-employee member of the Board of Directors includes $100,000 in shares of Company common stock. The shares of stock included in the TDC is intended to be granted on the first business day of each calendar year and the per share value of each share of Company common stock will be based on the closing price per share of the Company common stock on the NYSE on the date of grant. In recognition that each non employee member of the Board of Directors received a grant of 3,000 fully vested shares of Company common stock on January 6, 2010, the dollar value of shares granted on January 6, 2010 was deducted from the $100,000 of shares of Company common stock granted each non-employee director on February 3, 2010, resulting in a grant of 10,417 restricted shares to each non-employee director. The 10,417 restricted shares granted to each non-employee member of the Board will vest over four years at the rate of 25% annually, so that in the ordinary course, such shares become fully vested after four years from the date of the grant. The vesting of all unvested shares of Company common stock granted under this annual compensation program, in the event of a change of control as defined in Mr. LaPentas employment agreement, as amended and in effect on the grant date, shall be accelerated to the date of the change of control; furthermore, the vesting of shares shall also accelerate on the date a director terminates service with the Company for any reason other than the directors willful engagement in illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially injurious to the Company or the directors willful |
38
engagement in a violation of any federal or state securities laws; additionally, on the date a director terminates service with the Company, all previously granted stock options shall continue to be exercisable until the earlier of (A) that date which is five years from the date of departure from the Board, or (B) for any particular stock option, the original expiration date of such stock option grant. The amounts reported in the Stock Awards column represent the aggregate grant date fair value of the fully-vested stock-based award made to the non-employee directors on January 6, 2010 and February 3, 2010 based on the closing sales price per share of the Companys common stock on the NYSE on such date. | ||
(4) | The Company did not grant any stock option awards to non-employee directors in 2010. For a description of our equity award grant practices for directors, see Long-Term Incentive Awards in the Compensation Discussion and Analysis on page 17 in Item 11.The aggregate number of shares underlying option awards outstanding as of December 31, 2010 for each of the non-employee directors was as follows: |
