The Agreement was approved by the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and subsequently ratified by the full Board of Directors.

The Agreement is effective as of October 15, 2007, and has a term of three years. Either the Company or Mr. Hendry may terminate the Agreement provided that the terminating party provides 30-day written notice. Under the terms the Agreement, Mr. Hendry will receive a base salary of $200,000 per year and an annual bonus, to be determined by the Company’s Board of Directors. Mr. Hendry will also be entitled to participate in any bonus plan, incentive compensation program or incentive stock option plan or other employee benefits of the Company and which are available to the five highest paid executives of the Company, on the same terms and at the same level of participation as the five highest paid executives of the Company.

In the event Mr. Hendry is terminated for Good Cause, as defined in the Agreement, Mr. Hendry shall be paid salary earned and expenses reimbursable through the termination date, and receive health benefits for twelve months thereafter. In the event Mr. Hendry is terminated without Good Cause, as defined in the Agreement, Mr. Hendry shall be paid a severance (“Severance Pay”) equal to his salary and the cost of any company sponsored insurance policy for twelve months. If Mr. Hendry is terminated without Good Cause as a result of a change in control of the Company, as defined in the Agreement, then in addition to the Severance Pay and the cost of any company sponsored insurance policy for twelve months, all unvested stock options and/or restricted shares owned by Mr. Hendry shall vest immediately.
