written employment agreement ("Employment Agreement") with Anthony W. Boor, the

written notice at least 30 days prior to an anniversary of the Effective Date.
The Employment Agreement further provides that if Mr. Boor's employment is
terminated by the Registrant other than for Cause (as defined in the Employment
Agreement), or because of Mr. Boor's death or disability, and Mr. Boor executes
a separation agreement and release of claims prepared by the Registrant, then
Mr. Boor has the right to receive, in addition to any accrued salary then owed
to him, an amount equal to twelve times his monthly base salary on the date of
termination. The Employment Agreement also contains non-competition and
confidentiality provisions. This description of the Employment Agreement is
