Officer; Micheal L. Gifford, Executive Vice President; David W. Dunlap, Vice President of Finance and Administration, Chief Financial
Officer and Secretary; Tim I. Miller, Vice President of Engineering and Worldwide Operations; Leonard L. Ott, Vice President and

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in">Under the terms of the Employment Agreements,
the Executive&rsquo;s remuneration is agreed to be not less than his current base salary. The Executive is also given the opportunity
to participate in the Company&rsquo;s variable incentive compensation plan. Termination of employment of the Executive may occur
at any time, with or without Cause (as defined in the Employment Agreement). Should the Executive&rsquo;s employment be terminated
other than for Cause or death, or if the Executive&rsquo;s termination of employment is due to Executive&rsquo;s disability (as
defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), he is entitled under the Employment Agreement to (i) receive
his regular base salary for a period of three (3) months plus one month for each completed two years of service up to a maximum
of six (6) months following termination, (ii) receive reimbursement for payment of his COBRA premiums for the lesser of the same
amount of time or until he is eligible for the health insurance benefits provided by another employer, (iii) receive the variable
compensation amounts to which he would otherwise be entitled as prescribed in the variable incentive compensation plan and (iv)
purchase from the Company at book value certain items that were purchased by the Company for his use. Stock options granted to
the Executive shall cease vesting immediately upon the date of <FONT STYLE="color: black">termination of employment, but vested
stock options will be exercisable after termination for up to the greater of (a) twenty-five percent (25%) of the Executive&rsquo;s
service with the Company, up to a one year post-termination exercise period, or (b) ninety (90) days after termination of employment.</FONT>
<FONT STYLE="text-underline-style: double; letter-spacing: 0pt; text-decoration: none">Additionally, the option may not be extended beyond
the later to occur of the fifteenth day of the third month after the option exercise rights would have otherwise expired (typically
90 days), or the end of the calendar year during which the option exercise rights would have otherwise expired.</FONT> The
new Employment Agreements expire on March 31, 2015.</P>

&#9;The foregoing provisions are intended to comply with the requirements of Section 409A so that none of the severance payments
and benefits to be provided hereunder will be subject to the additional tax imposed under Section 409A, and any ambiguities herein
