Hebble had been replaced as the Company’s Vice President and President, Asia/Africa Division and that his employment with the Company would terminate as of January 31, 2008. Subsequently, on December 11, 2007, the Company and Mr. Hebble entered into a Separation Agreement (the “Separation Agreement”) under which Mr. Hebble’s employment with the Company will terminate as of January 31, 2008.
     Pursuant to the Separation Agreement Mr. Hebble:
    will receive three payments of $200,000 each, subject to applicable withholding taxes, for consulting with the Company through July 30, 2009,
    will be entitled to four months of COBRA insurance benefits in addition to the benefits to which Mr. Hebble is otherwise entitled by law if he makes the required election (Mr. Hebble is required to pay the premiums for the insurance during the statutorily mandated period and the extension), and
    will be entitled to continue to participate in all the benefit plans in which he currently participates through his termination date.
     The Separation Agreement also contains agreements by Mr. Hebble regarding noncompetition with the Company and non-solicitation of its employees, as well as a release of claims by Mr. Hebble.
