In addition, the Company’s Compensation Committee, approved the grant, effective May 19, 2008, to Mr. Wilson of (i) an option to purchase 80,000 shares of Common Stock at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of the Common Stock on May 19, 2008, with the option vesting and exercisable immediately with respect to 1% of the option shares, one year from the grant date with respect to 24% of the option shares, and in 36 equal monthly installments thereafter with respect to the remaining option shares and (ii) 30,000 restricted stock units (“RSUs”), one-third of such RSUs vesting six months from the date of grant, one-third of such RSUs vesting 24 months from the date of grant and the remaining one-third of such RSUs vesting 36 months from the date of grant. The options and the RSUs will vest on an accelerated basis prior to such vesting dates upon the occurrence of a change in control. The aforementioned option and RSU grants will be made under the Company’s 1995 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan.
