On October 30, 2006, in consideration of the extensive services provided by Brad Boston and Clyde Ostler as members of the Special Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Company Board”) of Mercury Interactive Corporation (the “Company”), the Company Board approved the payment of additional cash compensation of $70,000 to each of Messrs. Boston and Ostler.

Option Grants to Anthony Zingale and David Murphy

On October 30, 2006, in accordance with the Company’s previously negotiated contractual obligations set forth in the Employment Agreement the Company entered into with Anthony Zingale, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, effective as of November 1, 2005, and the Employment Agreement the Company entered into with David Murphy, the Company’s Senior Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, effective as of March 16, 2006 and as amended on June 20, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Company Board granted to Messrs. Zingale and Murphy a stock option to purchase 500,000 and 100,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.002 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”), respectively, under the Company’s Amended and Restated 1999 Stock Option Plan, at an exercise price of $51.86 per share, which was the closing price per share of the Common Stock on October 30, 2006.  The stock option grant to each of Messrs.
