          WHEREAS, the Consultant is a valued member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the
“Board”);

          WHEREAS, the Consultant has informed the Company that he is unable to stand for reelection to
the Board in 2008 and, as a result, effective as of the Company’s 2008 annual meeting (the

          WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the Consultant to provide consulting services to the
Company, and the Consultant is willing to provide such services to the Company, in each case on the
terms and conditions set forth herein.

          NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and intending to be
legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:

ends earlier as provided in Section 1(a)(ii) hereof (the “Consulting Term”).

               (ii) The Consulting Term may be terminated by the Company effective immediately following the
occurrence of an event constituting Cause. In addition, the Consultant may terminate the
Consulting Term upon thirty (30) days notice to the Company. For purposes of this Agreement,
“Cause” shall mean (i) an act by the Consultant that constitutes willful misconduct or
gross negligence relating to the Company or any of its affiliates; or (ii) indictment of the

consulting and advisory services to the Company as the Board may reasonably request provided (i)
such services are consistent with the Consultant’s status and experience and (ii) the Consultant
will not be required to provide services in any calendar month in excess of eight (8) hours.
During the Consulting Term, the Consultant agrees to make himself reasonably available

eight (8). Payments of this Excess Fee shall be made monthly in arrears upon receipt by the
Secretary of the Company of an invoice for services rendered, together with such supporting
documentation therefore as the Company may reasonably request.

               (ii) In addition, the Company shall reimburse the Consultant for reasonable business expenses
incurred in the performance of his duties hereunder upon submission of reasonably satisfactory
documentation in accordance with the general policies of the Company.
