Also, as a member of the Board, Mr. Waterhouse will receive an annual retainer of $30,000 payable in quarterly installments and, as a member of the Audit Committee, Mr. Waterhouse will receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000 payable in quarterly installments, such annual retainers to be pro-rated for the first year of service.
