The Annual Retainer will be paid quarterly, in arrears, or upon the earlier resignation or removal of the non-employee director. Amounts owing to non-employee directors as Annual Retainer shall be annualized, meaning that non-employee directors who join the board during the calendar year, and with respect to all non-employee directors for 2007, such amounts shall be pro rated based on the number of calendar days served by such director.

All of the foregoing options will be granted at fair market value on the date of grant.

The foregoing compensation will be in addition to reimbursement of all out-of-pocket expenses incurred by directors in attending meetings of the Board of Directors.
