EXHIBIT A

VALUATION METHODOLOGIES

Under specified circumstances, the Committee will determine the FMV of Shares in good faith in its sole discretion. In order to determine FMV in the absence of a public trading market, the Committee will consider the following methodologies in determining FMV.

1.

A specific valuation calculation using the Discounted Future Returns approach will be completed. This approach is based on historical and projected financial performance, normalized for non-recurring gains and losses. This methodology presumes that the value of the Company is equal to the present value of projected future earnings, plus the present value of the estimated residual worth.

2.

An analysis of the valuation of competitors and/or comparable public company’s will be completed. This approach will emphasize the ratios of: a) price to normalized EBITDA, b) price to normalized net income, and c) price to sales. Consideration will then be given to whether any adjustments are necessary to more closely align the valuation multiples with the Company.

3.

The Committee will assess relevant economic and industry factors applicable to each of the major divisions and consider their impact on valuation.

4.

The Committee will assess whether there are other known purchase/ sale transactions of analogous businesses or business segments where specific information is public or otherwise available and assess the affect this information may have on the valuation of the Company.

5.

The Committee will evaluate current offers to purchase the Company, if any, and determine what effect this information may have on the valuation of the Company.

6.

The Committee may consider the range of valuation of the Company’s equity using one or more other equity valuation techniques, as such board (or committee) deems appropriate. Such board (or committee) may also, if it deems appropriate, take into consideration the advice of third party advisors.

7.

In the case of a Change in Control, the FMV of the Company will equal the sale price received for the Company by the selling entity, net of transaction expenses. In the event the Change in Control involves the sale of the Company, together with affiliates that are not the Company’s subsidiaries, such board (or committee) will determine in its sole discretion the amount of the sale price allocable to the sale of the Company.

The Committee will assess the range of valuations indicated by the above methodologies and select what it deems to be the most representative indicator of fair market value.
