(a)
|
The
significant increase of revenues of Andrea Anti-Noise Products is directly
related to an Original Equipment Manufacturer (“OEM”) customer for use
with speech recognition software and was a result of the OEM’s increased
demand for our products associated with the timing of the launch of the
OEMs updated software during the three and nine months ended September 30,
2008 as compared to the same periods in 2007. We believe that
our annual revenues for 2008 and 2009 associated with this customer will
be approximately $313,000 and $250,000,
respectively.
|
|
(b)
|
The
40% and 10% increases for the nine months and three months ended September
30, 2008, respectively, of all other
Andrea Anti-Noise net product
revenues is associated with increased sales of products to educational
customers for use with their distance learning
products.
|
|
(c)
|
The
significant decreases of revenues of microphone array products to an
OEM customer for the three month and nine month periods ending September
30, 2008, relates to the decreased demand from the OEM
customer. We believe that this decrease is result of the OEM
deciding not to continue including a microphone array with all applicable
product models. The revenues in 2007 were a result of the OEM’s
introduction of the OEM’s product and the OEM customers’ need to supply
all of its customers for the initial launch.
|
|
(d)
|
The
8% and 14% decrease in all other Andrea DSP Microphone and Audio product
revenues for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2008,
respectively, are a result of a decreased demand for our in-vehicle auto
array. We believe the decline is resulting to the decline of
government funding for these types of
products.
|
|
(e)
|
The
majority of the increase in licensing revenues for the three and nine
month periods ended September 30, 2008 is a result of licensing revenue
from two customer in the PC Audio market. The increase for the
three month period was a result of these customers launch of PC’s
utilizing Intel’s new platform. The increase for the nine-month
period is a result of one licensing customer’s initial implementation of
our technology. We expect our licensing revenues for 2008 and
2009 to be approximately
$1,100,000.

more of either (A) the then outstanding shares of common stock of the
Company (the “Outstanding Company Common Stock”) or (B) the combined

Committee, provided, however, that any individual becoming a director
subsequent to the date hereof whose election or nomination for election by
the Company’s shareholders, was approved by a vote of at least a majority
of the directors then comprising the Incumbent Board shall be considered
as though such individual were a member of the Incumbent Board, but
excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption

case may be, of the corporation resulting from such Business Combination
(including, without limitation, a corporation which as a result of such
transaction owns the Company or all or substantially all of the Company’s

substantially the same proportions as their ownership, immediately prior
to such Business Combination of the Outstanding Company Common Stock and
Outstanding Company Voting Securities, as the case may be, (B) no Person

voting securities of such corporation except to the extent that such
ownership existed prior to the Business Combination and (C) at least a
majority of the members of the board of directors of the corporation

|
iv)
|

Agreement.
|
f)
|

|
h)
|
Section
409A of the Code.
|
i)
|
This
Agreement is intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of
the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), and specifically, with the
“short-term deferral exception” under Treasury Regulation Section
1.409A-1(b)(4) and the “separation pay exception:” under Treasury
Regulation Section 1.409(A)-1(b)(9)(iii), and shall in all respects be
administered in accordance with Section 409A of the Code. If
any payment or benefit hereunder cannot be provided or made at the time
specified herein without incurring sanctions on Employee under Section
409A of the Code, then such payment or benefit shall be provided in full
at the earliest time thereafter when such sanctions will not be
imposed. For purposes of Section 409A of the Code, all payments
to be made upon termination of employment under this Agreement may only be
made upon a “separation from service” (within the meaning of such term
under Section 409A of the Code), each payment made under this Agreement
shall be treated as a separate payment, the right to a series of
installment payments under this Agreement (if any) is to be treated as a
right to a series of separate payments, and if a payment is not made by
the designated payment date under this Agreement, the payment shall be
made by December 31 of the calendar year in which the designated date
occurs. To the extent that any payment provided for hereunder
would be subject to additional tax under Section 409A of the Code, or
would cause the administration of this Agreement to fail to satisfy the
requirements of Section 409A of the Code, such provision shall be deemed
null and void to the extent permitted by applicable law, and any such
amount shall be payable in accordance with (ii) below. In no
event shall Employee, directly or indirectly, designate the calendar year
of payment.
|
ii)
|
If
when separation from service occurs Employee is a “specified employee”
within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and if the cash severance
payment under this Agreement would be considered deferred compensation
under Section 409A of the Code, and, finally, if an exemption from the
6-month delay requirement of Section 409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code is not
available, the Company will make the severance payment under the Agreement
to Employee in a single lump sum without interest of the first payroll
date that occurs after the date that is six (6) months after the date on
which Employee separate from
service.
|
iii)
|
If
(x) under the terms of the applicable policy or policies for the insurance
or other benefits specified in this Agreement it is not possible to
continue coverage for Employee and her dependents, or (y) when a
separation from service occurs Employee is a “specified employee” within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code, and if any of the continued
insurance coverage or other benefits specified in this Agreement would be
considered deferred compensation under Section 409A of the Code, and,
finally, if an exemption from the six-month delay requirement of Section
409A(a)(2)(B)(i) of the Code is not available for that particular
insurance or other benefit, the Company shall pay to Employee in a single
lump sum an amount in cash equal to the present value of the Company’s
projected cost to maintain that particular insurance benefit (and
associated income tax gross-up benefit, if applicable) had Employee’s
employment not terminated, assuming continued coverage for 36
months. The lump-sum payment shall be made thirty (30) days
after employment termination or, if provision (ii) of this section
applies, on the first payroll date that occurs after the date that is six
(6) months after the date on which Employee separates from
service.

and guidance of general application issued by the Department of the
Treasury under Internal Revenue Section 409A.Any payments are to intended
to comply with Section 409A of the Code. Section 409A of the
