Mr. Stoltz will receive an annual base salary of $350,000 and will have an opportunity to earn a bonus based upon his and the Company’s performance.  Mr. Stoltz will also receive stock options to purchase 40,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at the closing price on his start date. If Mr. Stoltz’s duties are determined by the Company’s Compensation Committee to have increased in a material manner beyond the duties normally commensurate with the position of Chief Financial Officer within 18 months of his start date, Mr. Stoltz will be eligible to receive stock options to purchase at least 25,000 additional shares of the Company’s common stock. In addition to the foregoing, Mr. Stoltz shall be eligible to receive an annual long-term grant valued at $150,000 and comprised of 2/3 of such value (as determined based on the Black-Scholes model) being in the form of options to purchase the Company’s common stock and 1/3 of such value being in the form of the Company’s restricted stock.  If the Company terminates Mr. Stoltz’s employment without cause, he will be entitled to receive a severance payment of twelve months of his base salary.
