Brock and one non-executive employee participate in the First Plan.  The Board of Directors believes termination of the First Plan is in the best interest of the Company due to low participation and the cost of maintaining the First Plan.  The Company does not incur any costs or penalties in connection with termination of the First Plan.  Termination of the First Plan will be effective on May 2, 2011.

Dameris, who is the only executive officer participant in the Second Plan.  The Board of Directors believes termination of the Second Plan is in the best interest of the Company due to low participation and the cost of maintaining the Second Plan.  The Company does not incur any costs or penalties in connection with termination of the Second Plan.  Termination of the Second Plan will be effective on May 2, 2011.
