Annual Variable Cash Compensation Plan

We have adopted an Annual Variable Cash Compensation Plan that is available to our employees generally, including our executive officers, that we believe allows us to attract and retain employees by providing them with cash rewards in the form of additional compensation for their contributions to the operating profits and earning power of our business. For most employees, awards paid under this plan are and will be highly dependent on performance measured at an individual and business unit level. In general, awards will be funded by a sharing of profit in excess of a minimum return on capital

10

Table of Contents

to shareholders. Profit is measured in terms of the estimated net present value of after-tax profit from business written in each year. Awards are paid out in four annual installments and deferred balances are subject to adjustments to the extent that the initial estimate of policy year profit deviates from actual returns and earn interest. Employees who voluntarily end their employment or are involuntarily terminated will forfeit unpaid awards under the plan. In the event of a change of control, each employee will be paid his or her allocable share of the award pool unless the successor company determines to continue the plan through the end of our fiscal year. In the event an employee's employment terminates within 12 months following a change of control other than for cause, the employee will be fully vested in all incentive awards allocated but unpaid as of his or her termination date and will be paid 100% of the net present value of his or her account within 90 days of his or her termination. A change of control for purposes of the plan is defined generally as (1) the purchase by any person or group of persons of 40% or more of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting stock of our company, (2) approval by our board of directors of a reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolution, in each case, with respect to which persons who were shareholders of our company immediately prior to such reorganization, merger, consolidation, liquidation or dissolutions do not, immediately thereafter, own more than 51% of the combined voting power of the outstanding voting stock of our company, liquidation or dissolution or (3) the sale of 50% or more of our company's assets.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

Nigel W. Morris, James J. Ritchie and Roland C. Baker serve on the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors. Our independent directors are, and we expect they will continue to be, the only members of our compensation committee. None of our directors or executive officers has a relationship with us or any other company that the SEC defines as a compensation committee interlock or insider participation that should be disclosed to shareholders.

Securities Authorized for Issuance Under Equity Compensation Plan

Our shareholders and our board approved our 2003 long term incentive plan in July 2003. The plan is intended to advance our interests and those of our shareholders by providing a means to attract, retain and motivate employees and directors upon whose judgment, initiative and efforts and our continued success, growth and development is dependent. The compensation committee of our board of directors administers the plan and makes all decisions with respect to the plan. The compensation committee is composed solely of independent directors. The persons eligible to receive awards under the plan include our directors, officers, employees and consultants and those of our affiliated entities.

The plan provides for the grant to eligible employees, directors and consultants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares, restricted share units, performance awards, dividend equivalents and other share-based awards. The plan also provides our directors with the opportunity to receive their annual retainer fee for board of director service in shares.

The compensation committee selects the recipients of awards granted under the plan and determines the dates, amounts, exercise prices, vesting periods and other relevant terms of the awards. The maximum number of shares reserved for issuance under the plan is 9,350,000. The maximum number of shares with respect to which options and stock appreciation rights may be granted during a calendar year to any eligible employee is 700,000 shares. The maximum number of shares that may be granted with respect to performance awards, restricted shares and restricted share units intended to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m)(4)(C) of the Internal Revenue Code is the equivalent of 250,000 shares during a calendar year to any eligible employee.

The compensation committee determines the pricing of awards granted under the plan as of the date the award is granted. The compensation committee determines the vesting schedule of awards granted under the plan. Recipients of awards may exercise awards at any time after they vest and before they expire, except that no awards may be exercised after ten years from the date of grant. Awards are generally not transferable by the recipient during the recipient's life. Awards granted

under the plan are evidenced by either an agreement that is signed by us and the recipient or a confirming memorandum issued by us to the recipient setting forth the terms and conditions of the awards. Award recipients and beneficiaries of award recipients have no right, title or interest in or to any shares subject to any award or to any rights as a shareholder, unless and until shares are actually issued to the recipient.

Item 13.	Certain Relationships and Related Transactions

Employment Agreements

We are parties to a compensation arrangement with Robert Lippincott III, a retention agreement and an employment agreement with Jonathan J.R. Dodd, and an employment agreement with Gary G. Wang. In connection with the departures of Tobey J. Russ and John S. Brittain, Jr., we have also entered into separation and release agreements with Mr. Russ and Mr. Brittain. A description of the compensation arrangement, retention agreement, employment agreements, and separation and release agreements are included in ‘‘Item 11. Executive Compensation’’ contained herein.

In addition, we lease a corporate apartment located near the offices of our U.S. operations in New York. From time to time, certain officers may use the corporate apartment while traveling to New York on business or when the officer's work schedule does not permit him to commute to his residence. Since the appointment of Robert Lippincott III as interim chief executive officer in November 2005, Mr. Lippincott uses the corporate apartment on certain occasions when commuting from the offices of our U.S. operations to his residence is not practical.

Private Placement to Nigel Morris

On December 22, 2003, Nigel W. Morris purchased 291,262 shares in a privately negotiated transaction from us at a purchase price of $10.30 per share. The terms of the private placement to Mr. Morris were approved by our audit committee. We entered into a registration rights agreement with Mr. Morris covering these shares.

ESC Acquisition

On September 3, 2003, we acquired all of Environmental Strategies Corporation’s (‘‘ESC’’) outstanding stock for a cash purchase price of $18.9 million. Under the purchase agreement, ESC's shareholders have a right to receive an earn-out payment if ESC achieves specified EBITDA targets. EBITDA generally is defined to mean earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, calculated in accordance with GAAP as in effect at closing. Under the earn-out, if EBITDA for the two-year period ending December 31, 2005 is $7.5 million or greater, the ESC shareholders are entitled to receive an additional $5.0 million. As of December 31, 2005, we determined that we are

13

Table of Contents

required to pay the additional $5.0 million to ESC’s former shareholders. Michael J. Murphy, chairman of the office of strategic innovation and deputy chairman of our board of directors, was a former shareholder of ESC and received $1,372,066 in connection with this earn-out payment.

From time to time ESC has entered into agreements with Industrial Recovery Capital Holdings Company and its subsidiaries (‘‘IRCC’’), to perform environmental investigation and remediation design and management services for IRCC. IRCC acquires, rehabilitates, and disposes of properties exposed to environmental contaminants. Mr. Murphy beneficially owns approximately 34.2% of the outstanding shares of IRCC. The remaining shares of IRCC are owned by certain of ESC's former shareholders. We anticipate that ESC will continue to provide services to IRCC under contracts for IRCC's properties that exist currently. For the year ended December 31, 2005, we earned approximately $134,000 of fees under these contracts.

Pre-Approval Policies and Procedures

In accordance with the SEC's auditor independence rules and the audit committee charter, the audit committee has established the following policies and procedures by which it approves in advance any audit and permissible non-audit services to be provided by PwC.

Prior to the engagement of the independent auditor for any audit or permitted non-audit services, the chief financial officer, his designee or the chief operating officer, submits a proposal for such services to the audit committee or the chairman of the audit committee, as the case may be. The audit committee reviews such proposals and provides its consent only after first considering whether the proposed services are consistent with the SEC's rules on auditor independence. The engagement terms and fees for the following services are subject to the committee's consideration for pre-approval on a case-by-case basis:

	•	annual audit of the Company's financial statements;

	•	tax services proposed to be provided at the Company's expense to any executive officer or director of the company in his or her individual capacity;

	•	services that were pre-approved but would exceed any corresponding fee threshold; and

	•	other services that do not permit the registered public accounting firm to provide services in connection with a transaction initially recommended by the registered public accounting firm, the purpose of which may be tax avoidance and the tax treatment of which may not be supported in the Internal Revenue Code and related regulations.

The audit committee also will not permit the registered public accounting firm's engagement to provide any services to the extent that the SEC has prohibited the provision of those services by independent registered public accounting firms, which generally include:

	•	bookkeeping or other services related to accounting records or financial statements;

	•	financial information systems design and implementation;

	•	appraisal or valuation services, fairness opinions or contribution-in-kind reports;

	•	actuarial services;

	•	internal audit outsourcing services;

	•	management functions;

	•	human resources;

	•	broker-dealer, investment adviser or investment banking services;

	•	legal services; and

	•	expert services unrelated to the audit.

The audit committee delegated authority to the chairman of the committee, to:

	•	pre-approve any services proposed to be provided by the independent registered public accounting firm and not already pre-approved or prohibited by this policy;

	•	increase any authorized fee limit for pre-approved services (but not by more than 20% of the initial amount that was pre-approved) before the Company or its subsidiaries engage the registered public accounting firm to perform services for any amount in excess of the fee limit; and

	•	investigate further the scope, necessity or advisability of any services as to which pre-approval is sought.

16

The chairman is required to report any pre-approval or fee increase decisions to the audit committee at the next committee meeting. The audit committee did not delegate to management any of the audit committee's authority or responsibilities concerning the registered public accounting firm's services.
