amount and terms of equity incentive awards under the plan to non-employee
directors. The Lead Independent Director will receive 10,000 restricted stock
units immediately following the date of the next annual meeting of the Company's
shareholders, provided such person is a director of the Company at such time.
All other non-employee directors will receive 5,000 restricted stock units
immediately following the date of the next annual meeting of the Company's
shareholders, provided such person is a director of the Company at such time.
Each of the restricted stock units referred to above shall be subject to a
two-year vesting period; provided that at the time any non-employee director
ceases to be a director of the Company, such non-employee director's restricted
stock units shall become fully vested at such time. Such restricted stock unit
grants will be made in lieu of the automatic annual stock option grants the
non-employee directors would have received at such time under the terms of the
Company's 2005 Equity Compensation Incentive Plan.
OTHER INFORMATION
