On June 12, 2006, Wayne Lowell was elected as a director by the Company's board of directors. Mr. Lowell will fill an existing vacancy in class I of the board. The term of the class I directors will expire at the Company's 2009 annual meeting. There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Lowell and the Company or any of its officers or directors pursuant to which Mr. Lowell was selected as a director. Because the board has determined that Mr. Lowell is not "independent" in accordance with the listing requirements of the New York Stock Exchange, Mr. Lowell has not been named to any committees of the board.

Pursuant to a Consultant Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, Mr. Lowell has served as a business consultant to the Company since April 2002. For hourly consulting services rendered during fiscal year 2005, the Company paid Mr. Lowell a total of $205,247. For hourly consulting services rendered during fiscal year 2006, through June 12, 2006, the Company has paid Mr. Lowell a total of $28,685.   

Mr. Lowell, age 51, has over twenty years of experience in the healthcare and transportation industries. From 1998 to the present, he has served as a self-employed consultant providing strategic, financial, and operating advice to CEOs and CFOs of both publicly traded and venture capital backed organizations. From 1986 to 1998, he worked for publicly traded PacifiCare Health Systems, Inc., most recently as its Executive Vice President, Chief Financial and Chief Administrative Officer.
