On June 30, 2009, Steven L. Beal, the Company’s then
president and chief operating officer, retired from such
positions. On June 9, 2009, the Company entered into a
consulting agreement (the “Consulting Agreement”) with
Mr. Beal, under which Mr. Beal began serving as a
consultant to the Company on July 1, 2009. Either the
Company or Mr. Beal may terminate the consulting
relationship at any time by giving ninety days written notice to
the other party; however, the Company may terminate the
relationship immediately for cause. During the term of the
consulting relationship, Mr. Beal will receive a consulting
fee of $20,000 per month and a monthly reimbursement for his
medical and dental coverage costs. If Mr. Beal dies during
the term of the Consulting Agreement, his estate will receive a
$60,000 lump sum payment. As part of the consulting agreement,
certain of Mr. Beal’s stock-based awards were modified
to permit vesting and exercise under the original terms of the
stock-based awards as if Mr. Beal were still an employee of
the Company while he is performing consulting services for the
