Tatum will have no control or supervision over the Tatum Partner. Should additional resources be determined as necessary, we will discuss this with you as the need arises. The Tatum Partner will serve as the Company’s “principal financial officer” for purposes of the Company’s SEC filings and acknowledges that the duties of the Tatum Partner will include the obligation to sign certifications of the Company’s financial statements as the Company’s “principal financial officer” as required by SEC rules, but only to the extent the Tatum Partner was the chief financial officer of the Company during the majority of the time period in which the certifications relates. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Tatum Partner will not sign the certifications with respect the 10K for Fiscal Year 2006 and the 10Q for the first quarter of Fiscal Year 2007. In addition, the Tatum Partner will not be obligated to sign certifications to the extent he reasonably determines that doing so would be in violation of his fiduciary duties to the Company or any of its stakeholders or may result in personal liability.
