Pursuant to the revised structure, each non-employee director will receive an annual retainer of $75,000 paid in cash on a quarterly basis. The audit committee chairman will receive an additional annual retainer of $10,000 paid in cash on a quarterly basis. In prior years, the annual retainer for non-employee directors was paid in cash and shares of the Company's common stock, par value $.01 per share (the "Common Stock"). A written description of the Company's compensation arrangements with its directors is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1. The foregoing description is qualified by reference to such exhibit.
