Douglass Coates, a principal of the Manalytics division of TranSystems Corporation, a consulting firm specializing in the transportation, logistics and supply chain industry and President of the TranSystems' Management and Supply Chain Consulting practice, to fill the vacancy on the Board of Directors created by the resignation of Bruce Spector.

        Mr. Coates' compensation for his services as a director will be consistent with that of the Company's other non-employee directors, as described in the Company's definitive proxy statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 9, 2007, including, consistent with past practice, the grant of a nonqualified stock option to purchase 12,000 shares of the Company's common stock under the 2006 Long-Term Incentive Plan vesting in four equal annual installments beginning on the first anniversary of the grant date of September 12, 2007. Other than the standard compensation arrangements, there are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Coates and any other person pursuant to which he was appointed as a director. Mr. Coates is not a party to any transaction with the Company that would require disclosure under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
