On March 23, 2007, the Company's board of directors appointed Elizabeth J.
Gatewood, Ph.D. as a director of the Company, filling a new seat on the board.
Dr. Gatewood (age 62) is the Director of the University Office of
Entrepreneurship & Liberal Arts at Wake Forest University, a position she has

committees of the Company's board of directors. Dr. Gatewood will participate in
the Company's 2004 Non-Employee Director Stock Plan and will receive a grant of
options for 188 shares of the company's common stock, which represents the
