Vistance Networks, Inc.

We intend for our NEOs’ total compensation to reflect our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy. This philosophy includes both compensating our NEOs competitively when we meet or out-perform our goals, as well as placing large portions of their compensation at risk based on both the Company’s financial performance and our stock price performance. This assures the financial incentives of our executives are in alignment with the interests of our stockholders. Furthermore, by delivering a significant portion of compensation in the form of at-risk incentives (including equity compensation), the compensation realized by our NEOs will be reduced if the Company does not achieve performance goals.

The principal objectives of our NEOs' compensation include the following:

•

Competitive pay –providing compensation opportunities that enable us to attract superior talent in a highly competitive industry and retain key employees by rewarding outstanding achievement.

•

Pay-for-performance –creating incentives that reward management for outstanding financial results that our Compensation Committee believes will enhance near-term performance and drive sustainable performance over the longer term.

•

Alignment with stockholders – aligning our executives’ interests with those of our stockholders through our pay-for-performance philosophy and by encouraging our executives to have a meaningful equity stake in the Company.
