&#147;Company&#148;) has regained compliance with Nasdaq&#146;s independent director requirement as set forth in Nasdaq Marketplace Rule 4350. Rule 4350 requires that a majority of the Company&#146;s Board of Directors be comprised of independent
directors. The Company previously reported this non-compliance (which resulted from an agreement entered into in May 2007 between the Company and M&middot;CAM, Inc., an entity in which one of the Company&#146;s other directors had an interest and
was therefore determined no longer to qualify as independent) in its Form 8-K filings on May&nbsp;29, and June&nbsp;19, 2007. Nasdaq granted the Company until the earlier of May&nbsp;29, 2008 or the date of the Company&#146;s next Annual Meeting of
Stockholders, which is expected to be held in May 2008 (the &#147;2008 Annual Meeting&#148;), to regain compliance with the Nasdaq rules. Following Mr.&nbsp;Dyke&#146;s election, the Company&#146;s Board is comprised of seven directors, four of whom
are &#147;independent&#148; within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Item&nbsp;5.02(d). Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of

that it has appointed Charles W. (&#147;Bill&#148;) Dyke as a member of its Board of Directors. Mr.&nbsp;Dyke was elected at a meeting of the Company&#146;s Board held on July&nbsp;23, 2007. At the meeting, the Board increased the size of its Board
to seven members, adding a new director position in Class II, and determined that Mr.&nbsp;Dyke qualifies as an &#147;independent&#148; director, within the meaning of the Nasdaq rules. Mr.&nbsp;Dyke will serve as a Class II director, to fill the
vacancy created by the new position in that class, until the 2008 Annual Meeting. He will also serve on the Audit, Compensation, Nominating and Corporate Governance, Stock Incentive Plan and Stock Bonus Plan Committees of the Company&#146;s Board of
Directors. In connection with his election to the Board, the Company awarded to Mr.&nbsp;Dyke 1,000 restricted shares of its Class&nbsp;A Common Stock under the Company&#146;s 2000 Stock Bonus Plan, as amended. The shares will vest in full on the
date of the 2008 Annual Meeting. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Mr.&nbsp;Dyke retired from the U.S. Army as a Lieutenant General in 1988, after more than 34 years of
