| John Lavorato has requested the attached report. |
| s-23
| He is concerned about the allocation amongst categories- in particular, Real Time Traders. |
| s-24
| If you would, please review the entire list and let me know if you are in agreement with the presentation by tomorrow evening, if possible. |
| s-25
| I'm at xif you have any questions. |

| Thanks! |

| I understand all of those comparisons, however, the reality is if we lose Dean (which we will if we don't pay 65k + 10k), we will end up hiring a replacement at 75-80k. |
| s-28
| This is pretty easy math for me. |
| s-29
| I know it seems like a stretch, but the market for hourly traders is very strong right now. |

| I am reviewing the request for an employment agreement renewal on Mark Dean Laurent. |
| s-33
| Juan communicated some numbers to me and when reviewing this request would like to ask you to consider the following: |
| s-34
| Current Salary: $47,500 |
| s-35
| Job Group: Specialist |
| s-36
| YE PRC Rating: Satisfactory |
| s-37
| Original Proposition: |
| s-38
| Base Salary 65k |
| s-39
| 1 Year Agreement |
| s-40
| $5,000 signing |
| s-41
| Revised Proposal: |
| s-42
| Base Salary: 55k |
| s-43
| 1 Year agreement |
| s-44
| $5,000 signing |
| s-45
| Business Case: If we offered Dean 55k or 60k it would still constitute a over a $10,000 increase (approximately 25%) and taking into consideration he was rated as satisfactory at the specialist level. |
| s-46
| Also, the top of the salary range for a specialist is 66k. |
| s-47
| It would still give him room to progress in the current job group should he not be promoted. |
| s-48
| Secondly, he will still out price performers that you have in the same job group that are excellent and strong performers respectively eg. Paul Thomas, Jason Choate, Todd DeCook and Peter Makkai. |
| s-49
| Salary Listing in Job Group: |
| s-50
| Maria Valdes superior $62,500 |
| s-51
| Paul Thomas excellent $55,008 |
| s-52
| Jason Choate excellent $60,008 |
| s-53
| Todd DeCook strong $42,008 |
| s-54
| Peter Makkai strong $47,500 |
| s-55
| Let me know your thoughts....then I will run it by Oxley. |
| s-56
| Are we going to attend? |
