at this time by, among other things, providing for the appointment
of certain
individuals to the Company's board of directors (the "Board") and

APPOINTMENTS.
(a) The Company agrees to appoint Clay B. Lifflander
("Lifflander") and Charles B. McQuade ("McQuade" and, together with
Lifflander,
the "MMI Nominees") to serve as directors of the Board immediately
following
execution of this Agreement. Lifflander will be appointed to

a term of three years expiring at the Company's 2011 annual meeting
of
stockholders, and McQuade will be appointed to the class of
directors to serve
for a term expiring at the Company's 2010 annual meeting of
stockholders. The
term of each MMI Nominee is referred to herein, as applicable, as
the "MMI
Nominee Term". At the
2008 Annual Meeting, the Board agrees to nominate
Lifflander for reelection as a director, recommend that the
Company's
shareholders vote to elect Lifflander as a director, will recommend
that the
Company's shareholders vote all proxies in favor of his election
and will
otherwise use reasonable best efforts to cause the election of
Lifflander in
the same manner as any other director nominees of the Board.
The Company will
file a definitive proxy statement with the SEC which includes such
information
regarding Lifflander as is required by federal securities laws in
connection
with his nomination by the Company.
(b) Upon the appointment of the MMI Nominees to the Board, the
size of the Board shall be increased to thirteen (13) directors.
Following the
2008 Annual Meeting, the size of the Board shall not be increased
in excess of
thirteen (13) directors at any time while Lifflander is on the
Board.
(c) If Lifflander is not elected to the Board at the 2008
Annual
Meeting, (i) the MMI Group shall thereafter be entitled to select a
replacement
nominee whom, subject to a determination by the Board's Nominating
& Governance
Committee that such individual is qualified, which may not be
unreasonably
withheld, the Company or the Board will promptly appoint to the
Board to serve
until the Company's 2009 annual meeting of stockholders (the "2009
Annual
Meeting"); and (ii) the Company will nominate any such replacement
nominee for
election to the Board at the 2009 Annual Meeting to serve in place
of
Lifflander for a term which will expire at the Company's 2011
annual meeting of
stockholders. Any
replacement director appointed pursuant to this Section 1(c)
shall also be referred to as an "MMI Nominee" and the term for
which such MMI
Nominee is appointed pursuant to this Section 1(c) shall be

Agreement until the end of the applicable MMI Nominee Term: (i)
there shall
occur a vacancy in the Board seat previously occupied by Lifflander
by reason
of his resignation, removal, death or incapacity, then the Company
shall take
all necessary action to promptly fill such vacancy with a person
proposed by
the MMI Group, subject to a determination by the independent
members of the
Board's Nominating and Governance Committee that such individual is
qualified,
which may not be unreasonably withheld; provided that the MMI Group
may choose
not to fill such vacancy; or (ii) there shall occur a vacancy in
the Board seat
previously occupied by McQuade by reason of his resignation,
removal, death or
incapacity, then the Company shall take all necessary action to
promptly fill
such vacancy with a person proposed by the MMI Group, subject to
a
determination by the independent members of the Board's Nominating
and
Governance Committee that such individual is qualified; provided
that if the
independent members of the Board's Nominating and Governance
Committee
determine that such individual is not qualified, the MMI Group
shall propose
three other individuals to fill such vacancy that MMI believes are
qualified
and the Company shall appoint one of such three individuals to
serve as a
replacement director.
Any replacement director appointed pursuant to this
Section 1(d) shall be appointed for the applicable MMI Nominee Term
of the MMI
Nominee replaced and shall also be referred to as an "MMI
Nominee."
(e) The 2008 Annual Meeting shall be held on July 24, 2008, or
within 30 days thereafter. The 2009 Annual Meeting shall be held no
later than
June 1, 2009.
