The Employment Agreement was recommended to the Board of Directors by the Company's Compensation Committee and approved by the Board of Directors. The Employment Agreement amends and restates an employment agreement between the Company and Mr. Sylvester dated October 10, 1996, as amended, and is materially the same as the previous employment agreement except for an addition of a change-in-control payment. Pursuant to the Employment Agreement, Mr. Sylvester will receive a payment in connection with a Change-in-Control (as defined in the Employment Agreement) of the Company, which would be based on the transaction price in connection with a Change in Control.

The Option has an exercise price of $9.11 per share, which was the closing price of the Company's common stock on October 11, 2007. The right to exercise the Option will vest as follows: 20% of the shares subject to the Option will vest on each anniversary date of the grant date beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date.

          The effective date of the above amendments is October 11, 2007.
