On November 9, 2007, the Company entered into change of control agreements with Keith D. Nosbusch, Theodore D. Crandall, Steven A. Eisenbrown and Douglas M. Hagerman (the “Agreements”). The Agreements become effective if there is a change of control of the Company by September 30, 2010. The Agreements provide for continuing employment of the executives for two years after a change of control on conditions no less favorable than those in effect before the change of control. If the executive’s employment is terminated during that two year period without cause or if the executive terminates his employment for good reason during that period, the executive is entitled to the following severance benefits: (i) a lump sum payment equal to two times (three times for Mr. Nosbusch) annual compensation, including salary and bonus, (ii) a prorated annual bonus, (iii) continued participation in medical, welfare and other benefit plans and programs and perquisites for two years (three years for Mr. Nosbusch), (iv) outplacement services, and (v) an additional payment, if necessary, to compensate for any excise tax imposed on these change of control payments. In addition, under the Agreements the executives agreed to certain confidentiality provisions. The terms “change of control”, “good reason” and “cause” as used above are defined in the Agreements.

The foregoing description of the Agreements is not complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Agreement with Mr. Nosbusch and the form of Agreement with the other officers, copies of which are filed herewith as Exhibits 99.1 and 99.2 and are incorporated herein by reference.
