Re: Employment Contract

Dear Pat,

This
letter confirms our recent conversations about your contract. As we discussed, we have
agreed to accelerate the Conversion Date from Executive Vice President to Consultant. The
Conversion Date will be October 1, 2007. Despite the acceleration of the Conversion Date, your
compensation shall remain as set forth in the Agreement.

Also, as we discussed, the Company continues to work on its commitment to provide you with
continued healthcare, for life. We anticipate that this plan will be in place in the next six to
eight months.

Please indicate your acceptance of this change in your contract by signing where indicated below
and returning the original signed letter to me in the enclosed self-addressed envelope.

Thank you very much and please feel free to call me with any questions.

Very truly yours,

Sandy Rhodes

Senior Vice President — General Counsel
