RECITALS

The Corporation and the Executive entered into an Employment Agreement as of

Section 4.5 of the Agreement provides for a guaranteed bonus to be paid to

irrevocably waive the payment of the make-whole bonus.

Section 4.11 of the Agreement provides for certain relocation benefits to be
paid to Executive, which relocation payments include the payment of up to $5,000
per month for up to six (6) months of temporary living expenses, representing a
potential cost to the Company of up to $30,000 in the aggregate.

the total temporary living expenses paid by the Company to her is less than
$11,000.

Minnesota purchase and the sale of a residence in Lawrence, Kansas, and the
Company has agreed to pay a portion of those closing costs, in the amount of
$22,264.50.

costs incurred by Executive in purchasing a residence in Minneapolis, Minnesota
and selling a residence in Lawrence, Kansas owned by Executive.”
