Pursuant to the terms of her employment agreement, subject to the execution by Ms. Klinger of a satisfactory release, Ms. Klinger will (a) receive severance in an amount equal to her annual base salary as in effect on the date of her departure, payable in equal installments over a twelve month period (or, if earlier, until other employment is secured) in accordance with the Company’s normal payroll practices and (b) be entitled to participate in the Company’s medical and dental benefits plan until the end of the severance payment period.

The board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) has approved the appointment of Mark E. Brody to serve as the Interim Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer of the Company.
