(e) On April 1, 2008, Newport Corporation (the "Registrant") entered into Severance Compensation Agreements with (i) Robert J. Phillippy, President and Chief Executive Officer; (ii) Charles F. Cargile, Senior Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer; (iii) each of the Registrant's other named executive officers; and (iv) certain other officers of the Registrant. Such agreements provide for certain payments and benefits in the event of termination of the officer's employment under certain circumstances. All of such Severance Compensation Agreements replace and supersede any and all prior severance compensation or change in control agreements between the Registrant and such officers. Pursuant to the terms of each Severance Compensation Agreement, in the event that the officer's employment is terminated within two years of a "change in control" of the Registrant (as defined in the agreement), unless such termination results from his death, disability or retirement, or his resignation for reasons other than "good reason" (as defined in the agreement), or constitutes a termination by the Registrant for "cause" (as defined in the agreement), he will be entitled to receive:
(i) a lump-sum cash payment equal to his highest biweekly base salary in effect during the 12-month period immediately preceding his termination date multiplied by 26 (multiplied by 52 in the case of Mr. Phillippy), subject to applicable tax withholding;

(ii) a lump-sum cash payment equal to his incentive compensation payable under any incentive, bonus or similar plan of the Registrant in effect for the year during which his termination date occurs, calculated based on 100% satisfaction of all applicable performance goals established under such plan (two times such incentive amount in the case of Mr. Phillippy), subject to applicable tax withholding;

(iii) continuation of benefits under the Registrant's medical, dental and vision plans, and long-term disability insurance for twenty-four months;

(iv) automatic vesting of all unvested stock options held by the officer, such automatic vesting to be calculated based on 100% satisfaction of any applicable performance goals, and, unless otherwise specified by the officer, payment of an amount equal to the difference between the exercise price and fair market price (calculated as set forth in the agreement) of the shares of common stock subject to all vested and unvested stock options held by him, subject to applicable tax withholding;

(v) automatic vesting of all unvested restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock appreciation rights held by the officer, such automatic vesting to be calculated based on 100% satisfaction of any applicable performance goals, and settlement thereof by delivery of shares of common stock to the officer, subject to applicable tax withholding; and

(vi) certain other benefits, including payment of an amount sufficient to offset any excess "parachute payment" excise tax payable by the officer pursuant to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and/or any comparable provision of state or foreign law.

In addition, the Severance Compensation Agreement between the Registrant and each of Mr. Phillippy and Mr. Cargile provides that, in the event that the Registrant terminates the officer's employment other than for cause at any time during the term of the agreement in absence of a change in control of the Registrant, he will be entitled to receive: (i) a lump-sum cash payment equal to his highest biweekly base salary in effect during the 12-month period immediately preceding his termination date multiplied by 26; (ii) a lump-sum cash payment equal to his incentive compensation payable under any incentive, bonus or similar plan of the Registrant in effect for the year during which his termination date occurs, calculated based on 100% satisfaction of all performance goals, and (iii) continuation of benefits under the Registrant's medical, dental and vision plans, and long-term disability insurance for twelve months.

None of the Severance Compensation Agreements between the Registrant and any officer other than Mr. Phillippy and Mr. Cargile provides for benefits in the event of termination of such officer's employment by the Registrant in absence of a change in control.
The foregoing description of the Severance Compensation Agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to (i) the Severance Compensation Agreement between the Registrant and Mr. Phillippy,
(ii) the Severance Compensation Agreement between the Registrant and Mr. Cargile, and (iii) the form of Severance Compensation Agreement between the Registrant and each of the Registrant's other named executive officers and certain other officers, copies of which are attached hereto as Exhibits 10.1, 10.2 and 10.3, respectively, and are incorporated herein by reference. Item 9.01 - Financial Statements and Exhibits.

Backlog

Our consolidated backlog of orders totaled $153.8 million at December 29, 2007 and $130.2 million at December 30, 2006. As of December 29, 2007, $126.4 million of our consolidated backlog was scheduled to be shipped on or before January 3, 2009. Orders for many of the products we sell to semiconductor equipment customers, which comprise a significant portion of our sales, are often subject to rescheduling without penalty or cancellation without penalty other than reimbursement of certain material costs. In addition, because we manufacture a significant portion of our standard catalog products for inventory, we often make shipments of these products upon or within a short time period following receipt of an order. As a result, our backlog of orders at any particular date may not be an accurate indicator of our sales for succeeding periods.

Transfer Agent: American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, 59 Maiden Lane New York, NY 10038 Newport Corporation engages in the development, manufacture, and marketing of technology products and systems worldwide. It operates in two divisions, Lasers, and Photonics and Precision Technologies (PPT). The Lasers division offers ultra fast lasers and amplifiers, diode-pumped solid-state lasers, diode lasers, pulsed lasers, tunable lasers, air-cooled ion lasers, water-cooled ion lasers, and nitrogen lasers. The PPT division manufactures integrated systems and subsystems comprising photonics, precision micro-positioning, vibration isolation, optics and opto-mechanical components, and instrumentation and systems; and thin-film optical filters, ruled and holographic diffraction gratings, and crystal, as well as light sources, monochromators, and spectroscopy instrumentation. This segment also offers systems for applications in the packaging of communications and electronic devices, including the manufacture of microwave, optical, radio frequency, and multi-chip modules. Newport Corporation markets and sells its products to original equipment manufacturer and end-user customers through its sales organizations, independent distributors, and sales representatives, as well as through catalogs and Web site. It serves scientific research, microelectronics, life and health sciences, aerospace and defense/security, industrial manufacturing, marking, and engraving markets. The company was founded in 1938 and is headquartered in Irvine, California.

We are a global supplier of advanced technology products and systems to a wide range of industries, including scientific research, microelectronics, aerospace and defense/security, life and health sciences, and industrial manufacturing. We provide a broad portfolio of products to customers in these end markets, allowing us to offer them an end-to-end resource for products that make, manage and measure light. As the demands of research and commercial applications for higher precision and miniaturization continue to increase, photonics, the science and technology of making, managing and measuring light, has become a key enabling technology, permitting researchers and commercial users to perform tasks that cannot be accomplished by existing electrical, mechanical or chemical processes. In addition, in markets such as microelectronics and life and health sciences, photonics technology is replacing these current processes in a number of applications it can accomplish faster, better or more economically. We provide a wide range of products designed to enhance the capabilities and productivity of our customers’ photonics and other precision applications, including: • lasers and laser technology, including solid-state, gas and dye lasers, high-power diode lasers, fiber lasers and amplifiers, and ultrafast laser systems; • optical components and subassemblies, including precision optics and opto-mechanical subassemblies, thin-film optical filters, ruled and holographic diffraction gratings and crystals; • photonics instruments and components, including optical meters, light sources, monochromators and spectroscopy instrumentation; • high-precision positioning and vibration isolation products and systems; and • advanced automated manufacturing systems used in the manufacture of communications and electronics devices.

In addition to our individual product offerings, we have significant expertise in integrating our products into systems and subsystems that are engineered to meet our customers’ specific application requirements. We believe that our ability to develop and manufacture these integrated solutions, together with our broader portfolio of products and technologies, gives us a significant competitive advantage over our competitors. For over four decades, we have serviced the needs of research laboratories for precision equipment. We have acquired a number of companies, which has led to the expansion of our product offerings, technology base and geographic presence and has allowed us to evolve from a provider of discrete components and instruments primarily for research applications to a company that manufactures both components and integrated systems for both research and commercial applications. In February 2002, we acquired Micro Robotics Systems, Inc. (MRSI), a manufacturer of high-precision, fully-automated assembly and dispensing systems for back-end packaging applications in the semiconductor, microwave communications and fiber optic communications industries. MRSI has significant expertise in the design and manufacture of automated high-precision manufacturing systems. During the past two years, MRSI has focused its development efforts on automated laser-based manufacturing systems, particularly for disk drive and photovoltaic module manufacturing applications. MRSI is now part of our Photonics and Precision Technologies (PPT) Division. In July 2004, we acquired Spectra-Physics, Inc. and certain related entities (collectively, Spectra-Physics). This acquisition significantly increased the scope of our expertise and product offerings in our target customer end markets, adding to our product portfolio solid-state, gas and dye lasers, high-power diode lasers, and ultrafast laser systems, as well as photonics instruments and components, including light sources, monochromators, spectroscopy instrumentation, optical filters, ruled and holographic diffraction gratings and crystals. This acquisition approximately doubled our size with respect to revenue, number of employees and facilities. At the time of the acquisition, we established Spectra-Physics’ laser and laser-related technology business as our Lasers Division, and we combined Spectra-Physics’ photonics businesses with the existing businesses that comprised our former Industrial and Scientific Technologies Division to create our PPT Division.

Following the acquisition of Spectra-Physics, we conducted a strategic review of all of our businesses and concluded that our robotic systems operations in Richmond, California, which served the front-end semiconductor equipment industry with product lines including wafer-handling robots, load ports and equipment front-end modules, were no longer core to our overall strategy. Consequently, in the first quarter of 2005, our Board of Directors approved a plan to sell these operations. At that time, we classified our robotic systems operations as discontinued operations. We completed the sale of these operations in December 2005. The robotic systems operations represented a substantial portion of our former Advanced Packaging and Automation Systems (APAS) Division. As a result of our decision to divest these operations, we realigned our business segments to include all remaining operations of our former APAS Division within our PPT Division. Accordingly, our operations are now conducted through two divisions, our Lasers Division and our PPT Division. We will continue to pursue acquisitions of companies, technologies and complementary product lines that we believe will further our strategic objectives. Conversely, from time to time, we review our different businesses, including our acquired companies, to ensure that they are key to our strategic plans, and close or divest businesses that we determine are no longer of strategic importance.
