<P align="right" style="font-size: 10pt">April&nbsp;11, 2005&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;



<P align="center" style="font-size: 10pt">ACKNOWLEDGEMENT


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">As we discussed, the Company has determined to terminate its Long Term Performance program (the
&#147;Old Program&#148;) for all performance periods ending after March&nbsp;31, 2005. Effective April&nbsp;1, 2005,
the Old Program is being replaced with a combination of stock-based incentives which the Company
believes better serves its strategic objectives (the &#147;New Program&#148;). Your employment agreement
dated February&nbsp;1, 2005 (your &#147;Employment Agreement&#148;) makes reference to the Old Program in section
3(c) and this will confirm that you and we agree that such references are to be considered
references to the New Program and any successor program that the Company may adopt from time to
time. Further, in consideration of your eligibility to participate in the New Program, you agree
that:


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">1. You hereby waive any and all rights to any payments under the Old Program for any performance
period ending after March&nbsp;31, 2005; and


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">2. The last sentence of section 3(c) of your Employment Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced
with the following: &#147;The target award level under the Company&#146;s Long-Term Incentive Plan will be at
least $2,200,000 for the award period beginning April&nbsp;1, 2005.&#148;


<P align="left" style="font-size: 10pt">Except as modified by this letter, the terms of your Employment Agreement remain unchanged. Please
acknowledge your agreement to the terms of this letter and the modifications of your Employment
Agreement by signing and dating the enclosed copy of this letter.
