In addition, the Company expects to enter into an indemnification agreement with Ms. Turner in substantially the form filed as Exhibit 10.16 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. Other than these standard arrangements, there are no arrangements or understandings between Ms. Turner and any other person pursuant to which she was appointed as a director.
