The registrant has determined to amend the Form 10-K to include such Part III information in this Amendment No. 1 on Form 10-K/A (the “Form 10-K/A”), rather than incorporating it into the Form 10-K by reference to the Proxy Statement.

The Board has determined that each member of the Company’s Audit Committee is independent within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the NYSE. Furthermore, as required by the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), no member of the Audit Committee receives, directly or indirectly, any consulting, advisory, or other compensatory fees from the Company other than Board and committee fees. The Board has determined that Edward Paquette is an “audit committee financial expert” within the meaning of the rules and regulations of the SEC. The Audit Committee operates pursuant to a written charter that is available free of charge on the Company’s website at www.xerium.com or by requesting a copy from Investor Relations, Xerium Technologies, Inc., One Technology Drive, Westborough Technology Park, Westborough, Massachusetts 01581.

ITEM 11. EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion & Analysis

Overview of Compensation Program. The Compensation Committee operates under a written charter adopted by the Board and discharges the responsibilities of the Board relating to the compensation of the Company’s executive officers. The executive officers’ compensation has three primary components: base compensation or salary, annual cash performance bonuses and equity based awards. Executive officers also receive a variety of benefits. These include benefits that are available generally to all salaried employees in the geographical location where the executive officer is based as well as benefits available only to executive officers generally or the particular executive officer.

Named Executive Officers.

This Compensation Discussion & Analysis provides information regarding the compensation paid to the following individuals, referred to as the Named Executive Officers, in 2007:

Mr. Quiñonez retired from the Company on December 31, 2007. Messrs. Gutierrez and Milner resigned from the Company on February 7, 2008 and February 8, 2008, respectively. On February 11, 2008, Stephen Light joined the Company as President and Chief Executive Officer.

Compensation Philosophy and Objectives. The Compensation Committee believes that the most effective executive compensation program is one that is designed to reward the achievement of specific annual, long-term and strategic goals by the Company, and which aligns executives’ interests with those of the stockholders by rewarding performance above established goals, with the ultimate objective of improving stockholder value. The Compensation Committee evaluates both performance and compensation in an effort to enhance the Company’s ability to retain and, as necessary, attract superior employees in key positions. The Compensation Committee designs executive compensation packages for its executives, including the Named Executive Officers, that include both cash and stock-based compensation to reward performance as measured against established goals. While there is no rigid formula for the allocation between cash and stock-based compensation, the Compensation Committee balances the compensation elements to reward annual results and motivate long-term performance.

Role of Executive Officers in Compensation Decisions. The Compensation Committee makes all compensation decisions for the executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer makes recommendations to the Compensation Committee regarding compensation, including with respect to salary adjustments, structure of annual awards and annual award amounts, for both himself and the other executive officers. The Chief Executive Officer discusses with the Compensation Committee the Company’s performance and the individual performance of himself and the other executive officers. In addition to the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer and/or the General Counsel are sometimes present for discussions of the Compensation Committee regarding compensation of executive officers. While the Compensation Committee considers the recommendations of the Chief Executive Officer, the Compensation Committee ultimately decides salary adjustments, the structure of annual awards and annual award amounts for all executive officers.

Setting Executive Compensation. At the request of the Compensation Committee, the Company engaged Watson Wyatt Worldwide, Inc., a compensation consulting firm, to conduct an annual review of its cash and equity compensation program for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers in order to assist the

10

Table of Contents

Compensation Committee in establishing compensation for 2007. Watson Wyatt Worldwide, Inc. provides the Compensation Committee with relevant market data to consider when making compensation decisions for the executive officers. In connection with its compensation review for the Company, in addition to general survey data, Watson Wyatt Worldwide, Inc. considered the cash and equity compensation practices of 16 publicly held companies in the manufacturing industry. The companies included in the study were the following:

These companies included in the Watson Wyatt Worldwide, Inc. study were chosen based on certain business characteristics similar to those of the Company, including: annual revenues, employee headcount, geographic scope of business, and type of business. In addition to benchmarking studies, the Compensation Committee has historically taken into account input from other sources, including input from other independent members of the Board of Directors and publicly available data relating to the compensation practices and policies of other companies within and outside of the Company’s industry. The Compensation Committee does not view benchmarking as an appropriate stand-alone tool for setting compensation because it believes that there are aspects of each peer company’s business, objectives and particular circumstances that may be unique to that company. The Compensation Committee uses the benchmarking data as a reference point, and gathering this information is an important part of the Compensation Committee’s compensation-related decision-making process.

Watson Wyatt Worldwide, Inc. has provided additional services to the Company from time to time, including the provision of actuarial services and consulting services relating to certain pension and post-retirement plans of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Compensation Committee also engaged Watson Wyatt Worldwide, Inc. to conduct a review of the Company’s cash and equity compensation program for the Chief Executive Officer and other executive officers to assist it in making compensation decisions for 2008. The Compensation Committee intends to continue to retain the services of third-party executive compensation specialists from time to time, as the Committee sees fit, in connection with the establishment of cash and equity compensation and related policies.

2007 Executive Compensation Components. For the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007, the principal components of compensation for the Company’s Named Executive Officers were base salary, cash based incentive compensation and equity based awards.

The Company does not have a formal or informal policy or target for allocating compensation between long-term and short-term compensation, between cash and non-cash compensation or among the different forms of non-cash compensation. Instead, the Compensation Committee, in consultation with the Chief Executive Officer, determines subjectively what it believes to be the appropriate level and mix of the various compensation components. While the particular compensation objectives that each element of executive compensation serves are set forth below, the Compensation Committee believes that each element of compensation, to a greater or lesser extent, serves each of the objectives of the Company’s executive compensation program.

Base Salary. The Compensation Committee annually reviews and approves the base salary of the chief executive officer and the Company’s other executive officers. In making these determinations, the Compensation Committee considers various factors such as the Company’s performance, the executive’s performance and responsibilities, leadership, years of experience, competitive salaries within the marketplace, and the executive’s total compensation package. For 2007, the Compensation Committee did not change the base salary of the Chief

11

Table of Contents

Executive Officer or of any of the other Named Executive Officers from that in effect as of the end of 2006. The salary column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2007 does not set forth the same amounts as the salary column of the Summary Compensation Table for 2007 in the Company’s proxy statement prepared in 2006 for Messrs. Mayer and Quiñonez due to fluctuations in the currency exchange rates between the U.S. Dollar and each of the Euro, Argentine Pesos and Brazilian Real.

Annual Incentive Bonus. In order to reinforce the importance of increasing shareholder value, the Compensation Committee believes that a substantial portion of the potential annual compensation of each executive officer should be in the form of annual incentive cash bonuses. In 2006, the Company adopted its 2006 Cash Incentive Bonus Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for the award of annual incentive bonuses to those executive officers and other key employees of the Company and its subsidiaries that the Compensation Committee selects to participate on an annual basis based upon the potential contributions that such individuals may make to the Company. The maximum bonus that any participant may receive under the Plan in respect of any year is $3,500,000.

Under Section 162(m) of the Code, a publicly held corporation is generally not entitled to a federal income tax deduction with respect to any taxable year for compensation in excess of $1 million to its chief executive officer or any of its other four most highly compensated executive officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to this deduction limitation. To qualify for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code, compensation must, among other things, be paid under a plan the material terms of which, including the general performance criteria used as the bases for determining awards, have been approved by stockholders. The Plan was approved by the Company’s stockholders in 2006.

In the case of awards intended to qualify for the performance-based compensation exception under Section 162(m) of the Code (as evidenced by the actions of the Compensation Committee in granting or documenting such award), the Compensation Committee will pre-establish, in writing, one or more performance criteria no later than 90 days after the commencement of the period of service to which the performance relates or at such earlier time as is required to qualify the Award as performance-based under Section 162(m) of the Code. The performance criteria will be an objectively determinable measure of performance relating to any or any combination of the following (measured either absolutely or by reference to an index or indices and determined either on a consolidated basis or, as the context permits, on a divisions, subsidiary, line of business, project or geographical basis or in combinations thereof):

12

Table of Contents

A performance criterion and any related targets determined by the Compensation Committee need not be based upon an increase, a positive or improved result or avoidance of loss.

The Compensation Committee selected each of the Company’s executive officers, as well as certain other key employees of the Company, as participants in the Plan for 2007. The award opportunities for 2007 provided for payments to the Named Executive Officers if a performance metric based upon Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Company’s senior credit facility as in effect on March 29, 2007 and with certain adjustments, exceeds the threshold, target and maximum levels specified by the Compensation Committee as set forth below.

If the Company’s performance exceeded the threshold, then, subject to the other requirements of the awards, each named executive officer would receive a payment that is based on a specified percentage of his base salary and the amount by which the Company’s performance exceeds the threshold and target levels, as the case may be, provided that the maximum bonus any named executive officer may receive under the award is his base salary multiplied by two times his specified percentage. For 2007, the Committee selected the Named Executive Officers to receive an award with a specified percentage set forth opposite his name below.

In the cases of Messrs. Gutierrez, O’Donnell, Quiñonez and Milner, their employment agreements with the Company contemplated a higher specified percentage than that indicated above. The Compensation Committee offered these Named Executive Officer’s a grant of performance-based restricted stock unit awards described below in exchange for their waiver of rights to an award for 2007 with a higher participation percentage. The Compensation Committee decided to offer this shift from cash compensation to equity-based compensation in order to provide the potential to increase equity ownership of these Named Executive Officers and also reduce the potential cash outlays of the Company. The performance metric for 2007 did not exceed the threshold level and the Company’s Named Executive Officers did not receive incentive cash bonuses under the Plan for 2007 and did not receive any other incentive cash bonuses in respect of 2007.

In determining whether to structure cash incentive awards to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee balances the benefits of the awards qualifying as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code and the overall goal of structuring awards designed both to incentivize the executives and to increase shareholder value. While the Company designed the awards under the Plan to its executive officers with respect to 2007 to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code, the Compensation Committee did not make awards under the Plan with respect to 2008 designed to qualify as performance-based compensation within the meaning of Section 162(m) of the Code. In first quarter of 2008 the Company was addressing potential financial covenant non-compliance issues under its senior credit agreement, and the Compensation Committee determined that it did not have adequate visibility regarding the financial outlook for the Company within 90 days of the beginning of 2008 in order to structure a cash based award to appropriately incentivize the executive officers.

In consideration for waiving their rights to a higher specified percentage under the Plan, on March 29, 2007 the Compensation Committee approved performance-based restricted stock units awards for the Company’s

13

Table of Contents

Named Executive Officers under the Company’s 2005 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2005 Plan”). The awards would generally only vest if a performance metric based upon Adjusted EBITDA, as defined in the Company’s senior credit facility as in effect on March 29, 2007 and with certain adjustments, equaled or exceeded a target level of $157 million that had been specified by the Committee. The following table sets forth the number of performance-based restricted stock units awarded to each of the Company’s Named Executive Officers.

Generally, if the performance metric equaled or exceeded the target level specified by the Committee, the restricted stock units would vest on the day the Company filed its Annual Report on Form 10-K for fiscal year 2007, and the Company would within thirty days thereafter issue one share of common stock in respect of each fully vested restricted stock unit. On April 8, 2008, the day the Company filed its 2007 Annual Report on Form 10-K, these restricted stock unit awards expired without vesting in accordance with the terms of the agreement underlying the grant of these awards because the performance metric did not achieve the target level.

Long-Term Compensation. The Company seeks to create long-term performance incentives for its executive officers by aligning their economic interests with the interests of the Company’s shareholders through the 2005 Plan. The 2005 Plan provides for the grant of awards consisting of any or a combination of stock options, stock appreciation rights (“SARs”), restricted stock, unrestricted stock or stock unit awards to key employees, directors and consultants. Awards under the 2005 Plan align the economic interests of the executive officer with those of shareholders because the potential value of the awards is directly related to the future value of the Company’s stock.

The Compensation Committee administers the 2005 Plan and has the power to select participants, determine award terms and conditions and adopt, alter and repeal administrative rules, guidelines and practices applicable to the 2005 Plan.

During 2007, the Company granted performance-based restricted stock unit awards as described above under “Annual Incentive Bonus” and granted shareholder based return based restricted stock unit awards as described below.

On May 16, 2007, the Compensation Committee approved shareholder return based restricted stock units awards for certain of the Company’s Named Executive Officers under the 2005 Plan. The following table sets forth the number of such restricted stock units awarded to the Company’s Named Executive Officers who received such awards.

14

Table of Contents

The awards will generally only vest if:

These restricted stock units may also vest, in whole or in part, if a “covered transaction” (as defined in the 2005 Plan) occurs and the cumulative total return vesting requirements have previously been satisfied or would be satisfied based on the transaction price. Under the awards, the Company will issue one share of common stock in respect of each fully vested restricted stock unit. These awards granted to Messrs. Gutierrez and Milner were forfeited in February 2008 when these individuals ceased to be employed by the Company.

In connection with the Company’s initial public offering in May of 2005, the Compensation Committee granted shareholder return based restricted stock units awards to certain of the Company’s Named Executive Officers. These awards will generally only vest if:

In January of 2008, the Compensation Committee granted both time-based restricted stock unit awards and shareholder return based restricted stock unit awards to the Company’s executive officers, and in February of 2008 the Compensation Committee granted a time-based restricted stock unit award to the Company’s new chief executive officer, who was appointed in February of 2008.

While the Compensation Committee’s current expectation is that all equity award grants will be in the form of restricted stock unit awards, the Compensation Committee may determine to grant other types of equity awards in the future.

Ownership Guidelines. The Compensation Committee recognizes that alignment of the interests of executive officers with those of the Company’s shareholders is important. While the Compensation Committee does not believe that it is appropriate to set a particular level of ownership, it believes that equity based awards help to align these incentives and serve as an integral part of the executive officer compensation program.

401(k) Plans. The Company maintains a tax-qualified defined contribution plan with a cash or deferred arrangement intended to qualify under Section 401(k) of the Code. U.S. employees become eligible to participate in the plans after completing two months of employment with the Company. Each participant in the plans may elect to defer, in the form of contributions to the plan, up to 15% of compensation that would otherwise be paid to the participant in the applicable year, up to the statutorily prescribed annual limit. Under the plan applicable to the Company’s U.S. executive officers, the Company makes a matching contribution with respect to each participant’s elective contributions, up to 4% of such participant’s compensation, subject to certain limitations.

Retirement Benefits. The Company maintains a pension plan for U.S. salaried employees, including certain of the Company’s executive officers (the “U.S. pension plan”). The U.S. pension plan is a funded, tax-qualified,

noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan and is described in more detail below under the heading “Pension Benefits”. The Company also contributed to an Argentine pension plan for Miguel Quiñonez through December 2006 in accordance with the terms of his Employment Agreement. In addition, Miguel Quiñonez and Josef Mayer participate in government pension arrangements in Argentina and Germany, respectively.

The Company has also adopted an unfunded, nonqualified supplemental executive retirement plan (“SERP”) for each of Messrs. Gutierrez and O’Donnell. Under the SERP, each of Messrs. Gutierrez and O’Donnell will be entitled to receive, at age 62, annual SERP payments equal to a specified percentage of his average annual base salary during the three years in which his base salary was highest during the ten years immediately prior to termination of employment (not including any compensation earned before January 1, 2004), multiplied by his years of service with the Company, less the amounts to which he is entitled under the Company’s U.S. pension plan. The SERP benefit formula is based on a percentage factor of 3% in Mr. Gutierrez’ case and 2.5% in Mr. O’Donnell’s case. More detail regarding these SERPs is provided below under the heading “Pension Benefits”.

Perquisites and Other Personal Benefits. The Company provides the Named Executive Officers with perquisites and other personal benefits that the Compensation Committee believes are reasonable and consistent with its overall compensation program to better enable the Company to attract and retain superior executive employees for key positions. These benefits include premiums paid for term life insurance policies, car allowances or an automobile for personal use, country club dues and relocation expenses. Attributed costs of the personal benefits described above for the Named Executive Officers for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006, are included in the next to last column of the Summary Compensation Table below.

Employment Agreements. The Company has entered into Employment Agreements with certain key employees, including the Named Executive Officers. The employment agreements for the Named Executive Officers are described below under the heading “Employment Agreements and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control”. These agreements include severance arrangements and, in some cases, the level of severance is dependent upon the proximity of termination to a change of control (as defined in the applicable agreement). We believe that these arrangements support our ability to attract and retain superior executive employees and, if a change in control were to occur, to retain our executives through a period of uncertainty, enhance our value by keeping our management team intact and focused on the best interests of the stockholders, rather than their own job security.

Tax and Accounting Implications.

Deductibility of Executive Compensation. In establishing compensation, the Compensation Committee takes into account the provisions of Section 162(m) of the Code, which exempts some performance-based compensation from the $1 million deduction limit. The Compensation Committee may, however, approve compensation that does not qualify for the exemption to attract and retain executives.

Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation. Beginning on January 1, 2006, the Company began accounting for stock-based awards, including its restricted stock unit awards in accordance with the requirements of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment (Revised 2004).”

Pension Benefits

Pension Plan. The Company’s pension plan for U.S. salaried employees, including the Company’s executive officers, and U.S. non-union hourly employees (the “U.S. pension plan”) is a funded, tax-qualified, noncontributory defined-benefit pension plan. Benefits under the U.S. pension plan are based upon an employee’s years of service and the average of the employee’s highest five calendar years of compensation in the last ten calendar years of service with the Company and its subsidiaries, the “final average earnings,” and are payable after retirement. Covered employees become vested in the U.S. Pension plan after the completion of five years of vesting service. Earnings covered by the U.S. pension plan are total cash compensation, including salary and bonuses, less taxable fringe benefits, as defined in the plan. Benefits under the U.S. pension plan are calculated as an annuity equal to 0.9% to 1.4% of the participant’s final average earnings multiplied by years of service. Credited years of service cannot exceed 30 years. For purposes of the annual pension benefit calculation, final average earnings as of December 31, 2007 could not exceed $225,000. Contributions to the U.S. pension plan are made entirely by the Company and are paid into a trust fund from which the benefits of participants will be paid. The benefits listed in the table below are not subject to any deduction for Social Security, but are subject to offset by accrued benefits under specified predecessor plans.

Supplemental Executive Retirement Plans. The Company has adopted a supplemental executive retirement plan (the “SERP”) for each of Mr. Gutierrez and Mr. O’Donnell in connection with their employment agreements. The SERPs are unfunded, nonqualified plans. Under the applicable SERP, each of Messrs. Gutierrez and O’Donnell would be entitled to receive, at age 62, annual SERP payments equal to a specified percentage of his average annual base salary during the three years in which his base salary was highest during the ten years immediately prior to termination of employment (not including any compensation earned before January 1, 2004), multiplied by the executive’s years of service with the Company, less the amounts to which he is entitled under the Company’s U.S. pension plan. The SERP benefit formula is based on a percentage factor of 3% in Mr. Gutierrez’ case and 2.5% in Mr. O’Donnell’s case. Each of Mr. Gutierrez and Mr. O’Donnell is fully vested in his SERP benefit. The annual payments under the SERP, before offsets, cannot exceed 50% of the three-year average annual base salary.

Although the normal form of payment under the SERP is an annuity, the SERP for Mr. Gutierrez permits him to elect an alternative payment option selected from among actuarially equivalent forms permitted under the U.S. pension plan, provided that any such election must be made at the time and in the manner that the Compensation Committee provides, consistent with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).

If a participant retires after age 55 but before age 62 with at least five years of service, he will be entitled to receive benefits under the SERP immediately following his retirement, but any such benefits will be reduced by one third of one percent for each month prior to age 62. If the participant retires before age 62 and without having completed five years of service, he will not be entitled to receive a benefit under the SERP until he turns 62. In the event of a participant’s death before commencement of his benefit, whether or not he is employed by the Company at time of death, the participant’s surviving spouse, if any, is entitled to receive an annual benefit for the remainder of her life equal to 50% of the benefit the participant would have been entitled to receive assuming payment in the form of a 50% joint and survivor annuity. Mr. Gutierrez resigned from the Company on February 7, 2008 at the age of 59 and with at least five years of service.

The SERP is unfunded and payable from the Company’s general assets, except that in the event of certain change of control transactions, the Company will establish an irrevocable trust, which is a so called “rabbi trust,” and contribute an amount equal to the actuarial equivalent of the SERP benefit.

The SERP can be amended only by written instrument signed by the Company pursuant to authorization of the Compensation Committee and by the participant (or, following the participant’s death, if benefits remain payable to his spouse, by his spouse).

Table of Contents

The following table sets forth information on the present value of accumulated benefits payable to each of the Named Executive Officers, including the number of years of service credited to each such Named Executive Officer, under the U.S. pension plan and his SERP (to the extent that such Named Executive Officer participates in the U.S. pension plan or a SERP) determined using interest rate and mortality rate assumptions consistent with those used in the Company’s financial statements.

Nonqualified Deferred Compensation

None of the Named Executive Officers received any nonqualified deferred compensation in 2007.

Employment Agreements and Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control

The Company has entered into an employment agreement with each of Thomas Gutierrez, Michael O’Donnell, Josef Mayer, Douglas Milner, and Miguel Quiñonez. The employment period under the agreements will survive until terminated by the Company or the Named Executive Officer. The employment agreements for these executives provide the specific terms set forth below.

Also set forth below, after the description of the applicable employment agreement, are tables that show the potential amounts payable to each of the Named Executive Officers in accordance with their respective employment agreements and other agreements with the Company in the event of termination of such executive’s employment in the circumstances described in the category headings of the tables, assuming that such termination was effective as of December 31, 2007. The amounts in the tables are estimates of the amounts which would be paid out to the executives in accordance with their respective employment agreements upon their termination, other than in the cases of Messrs. Quiñonez and Milner. The actual amounts to be paid out can only be determined at the time of such executive’s separation from the Company. Regardless of the manner in which a Named Executive Officer’s employment terminates, he may be entitled to receive amounts earned during his term of employment. Such amounts include earned and unpaid base salary, vacation pay, and regular pension benefits (see “Pension Benefits” above).

Thomas Gutierrez. Mr. Gutierrez served as the Company’s president and chief executive officer from January 2002 until his resignation in February 2008. Mr. Gutierrez submitted his resignation on the understanding with the Company that he would receive severance and other benefits in accordance with his employment agreement as if he had been terminated by the Company other than for “cause” (as defined in his employment agreement).

23

Table of Contents

Under the terms of his employment agreement, Mr. Gutierrez received a base salary of $670,000 per annum for 2006 and 2007. The Company provided him with life insurance coverage in an amount that was two and one-half times his initial base salary. If he terminated his employment other than for “good reason” (as defined in the employment agreement) or for good reason but without proper notice, he would have been entitled to his unpaid salary and benefits through his date of termination. If his employment terminated because of his death or disability, then he would have been entitled to his earned and unpaid salary through his date of termination and any payout he would have earned under the Company’s annual cash bonus plans for the fiscal year in which the termination occurs, prorated to reflect the number of days that he worked in the fiscal year. In addition, if his employment terminated because of his disability, he would have been entitled to participate in medical/dental benefit plans for 18 months (or such longer period as may be provided in the Company’s benefit plans). Since the Company terminated his employment for any other reason (other than “cause” (as defined in the employment agreement)), or if he had terminated his employment for “good reason,” he was entitled to (i) receive his base salary for two years, (ii) a payment equal to 100% of his base salary (or, if greater and three full fiscal years have been completed since the effectiveness of the agreement, 100% of his average annual bonus for the preceding three years), and (iii) participate in medical/dental benefit plans for two years (or such longer period as may be provided in the Company’s benefit plans), provided that the timing of certain payments may be delayed under Section 409A of the Code. If any such termination occurs within three months prior to or two years following certain specified change of control transactions, then the period of base salary and medical/dental benefit continuation shall be three years instead of two. If the Company had terminated his employment for “cause,” he would have been entitled only to payment of his earned and unpaid base salary for the period prior to termination.

The employment agreement also provides, with certain exceptions, that Mr. Gutierrez may not participate in any entity or engage in any activity that competes with the Company or any of its subsidiaries during his employment and for a period of two years after his employment terminates. In addition, the employment agreement imposes certain non-solicitation obligations on him during the same period of time.

The employment agreement also provides that he is entitled to participate in the SERP, described above under “Pension Plan Benefits,” which constitutes an attachment to the employment agreement.

If it is determined that any payment or benefit provided to Mr. Gutierrez by the Company or any of its subsidiaries will be subject to the excise tax imposed by Section 4999 of the Code, the employment agreement provides that the Company will make an additional lump-sum payment to Mr. Gutierrez sufficient, after giving effect to all federal, state and other taxes and charges with respect to such payment, to make Mr. Gutierrez whole for all taxes imposed under or as a result of Section 4999.

In addition, if his employment terminates because of disability, he is entitled to participate in medical/dental benefit plans for 18 months (or such longer period as may be provided in the Company’s benefit plans). If the Company terminates his employment for any other reason (other than “cause” (as defined in the employment agreement)), or if he terminates his employment for “good reason,” then he is entitled to (i) receive his base salary for 18 months, (ii) a payment equal to 100% (decreased to 60% pursuant to the amendment to his employment agreement) in the amendment on February 11, 2008) of his base salary (or, if greater and three full fiscal years have been completed since the effectiveness of the agreement, 100% of his average annual bonus for the preceding three years), and (iii) participate in medical/dental benefit plans for 18 months (or such longer period as may be provided in the Company’s benefit plans), provided that the timing of certain payments may be delayed under Section 409A of the Code.

COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS

Cash Compensation

For 2007, the annual rate of cash compensation for non-management directors was $30,000 and $1,500 per director per meeting for attending meetings of the Board or any committee of the Board in person ($500 for attending meetings that last longer than one hour by telephone). One executive session of non-management directors not held in connection with a Board meeting was treated as a meeting of the Board for director compensation purposes. The chairman of the Board and the chairman of the Audit Committee also each received additional cash compensation at an annual rate of $10,000 per year, and the chairman of the Compensation Committee and the chairman of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee each received initial additional cash compensation at an annual rate of $5,000 per year. Directors were also reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses for attending Board and committee meetings.

Equity-Based Compensation

At the recommendation of the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee, the Board granted 2,500 restricted stock units to each non-employee director in 2007 under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.

Employee directors do not receive additional compensation for service on the Board or its committees. The Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee reviews and makes recommendations to the Board regarding the compensation of directors. The Board approves the compensation of directors. In 2007, the Company engaged Watson Wyatt Worldwide, Inc., a compensation consulting firm, at the request of Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee to conduct an annual review of its cash and equity compensation program for non-employee directors in order to assist the Board in establishing non-employee director compensation for 2007.

The following table sets forth information for the compensation earned by the Company’s current non-employee directors for their service on the Company’s Board and committees of the Board during the fiscal year ended December 31, 2007.

Letter Agreement Regarding Dividends

On December 22, 2006, the Company entered into a letter agreement with Apax WW Nominees Ltd. and Apax-Xerium APIA L.P. (collectively the “Apax Entities”) regarding dividend reinvestment.

As of December 21, 2006 the Apax Entities held in the aggregate 22,897,712 shares of common stock of the Company. Michael Phillips, a member of the Board of Directors of the Company, is a manager of Apax Partners

Beteiligungsberatung GmbH, an entity indirectly advising Apax Europe IV GP, L.P., of which Apax Europe IV GP Co. Ltd. is the managing general partner. Apax Europe IV GP, L.P. is the managing general partner of Apax Europe IV-A, L.P. and of Apax-Xerium APIA L.P. Apax WW Nominees Ltd. holds shares in the Company as custodian and on behalf of Apax Europe IV-A, L.P. Mr. Phillips disclaims beneficial ownership of the securities held by the Apax Entities except to the extent of his pecuniary interest therein. Under the letter agreement, the Apax Entities agree that upon the establishment of a dividend reinvestment plan, in accordance with and pursuant to the terms of such plan the Apax Entities will reinvest at a minimum the Calculated Portion (as defined below) of all of the cash dividends received by them on or prior to December 31, 2007 in respect of the common stock of the Company held by them. The Calculated Portion is defined as, in the case of a particular cash dividend declaration of the Company, the lesser of (i) such percentage that would cause the percentage of aggregate cash dividends to be paid on the Company’s common stock with respect to a particular cash dividend declaration that are reinvested in the common stock of the Company through the dividend reinvestment plan to be at least 50% and (ii) 100% of the cash dividends received by the Apax Entities.

The letter agreement further provides that on or before December 31, 2007, the Apax Entities will not transfer any shares of common stock of the Company held by them unless, prior to the transfer, the transferee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by the terms of the letter agreement with respect to the shares transferred. In addition, the letter agreement sets forth certain terms with respect to shares acquired by the Apax Entities under the dividend reinvestment plan relating to the Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of May 19, 2005, by and among the Company and the other parties thereto.

The letter agreement was considered and approved by the Board of Directors. The letter agreement was entered into before the Board of Directors adopted the policy described above for the review of related party transactions by the Audit Committee and was not presented to the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors for approval.

On May 2, 2007, pursuant to an amendment to the December 22, 2006 letter agreement, the Apax entities committed to participate in the plan through December 31, 2008. The Audit Committee approved the amendment in accordance with the policy regarding related parties described above.

The Company adopted a dividend reinvestment plan on February 20, 2007. Under the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, registered shareholders may elect to receive all or part of the dividends on their shares of common stock in additional shares of common stock. The Dividend Reinvestment Plan is administered by American Stock Transfer & Trust Company. Pursuant to the Dividend Reinvestment Plan, in 2007 the Apax Entities reinvested approximately $13.1 million in common stock of the Company.

On March 18, 2008, the Company announced that it does not expect to pay cash dividends on its common stock for the foreseeable future.
