employment agreements were designed to make a change in control transaction neutral to the economic interests of employees that might be involved in considering such a transaction. The employees subject to these provisions would likely not be in a
position to influence the Company&#146;s performance after a change in control and may not be in a position to earn their incentive awards or vest in their equity awards. Thus, the provisions are meant to encourage employees that may be involved in
considering a change in control transaction to act in the interests of shareholders rather than their own interests. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:5%" ALIGN="justify"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="3">The
change in control provisions in the employment agreements with Named Executive Officers are described starting on page 25 under &#147;Potential Payments Upon Termination or a Change-In-Control.&#148; Generally, the Company&#146;s equity compensation
plans provide that restricted stock will vest in full, and options to purchase Common shares will become immediately exercisable, either upon a change in control or upon termination of employment within one year after a change in control. The
Compensation Committee believes that the provisions provided for under both our employment agreements and equity compensation plans are appropriate since an employee&#146;s position could be adversely affected by a change in control even if he is
not terminated. These plans provide, however, that the Compensation Committee may determine in advance of the change in control event that the provisions would not apply and therefore no accelerated vesting would occur. </FONT></P> <P
