Item 1.01       ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

 

On May 25, 2005, the Compensation Committee (the “Compensation Committee”) of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Board”) reviewed and revised the Company’s director compensation program.  The revised director compensation program was designed to closely align the interests of the Company’s directors with its stockholders.  The Compensation Committee recommended, and the Board approved the following non-employee director compensation program:

 

Compensation of Outside Directors

 

Annual Cash Compensation.  Each non-employee outside director will receive a $16,000 annual retainer fee, to be paid in four equal, quarterly installments, to cover each of the Company’s regular Board meetings, the annual Board meeting and certain special Board meetings that the director attends in person or by telephone.  Each outside director will receive a $1,250 fee for each Board committee meeting that the director attends in person or by telephone.  Additionally, the Non-Executive Chairperson will receive an annual retainer of $20,000, paid in four equal, quarterly installments, and the Audit Committee Chairperson will receive an annual retainer of $10,000, also to be paid in four equal, quarterly installments.

 

Stock Options.  Each outside director will receive a one-time nonqualified stock option grant to purchase 20,000 shares of our common stock upon that person’s initial election as a director.  Following initial election, and on the date of each annual stockholders’ meeting thereafter, each outside director, upon their reelection, will receive an additional nonqualified stock option grant to purchase 7,500 shares of our common stock.  Additionally, each Board committee chairperson will receive a nonqualified stock option grant to purchase an additional 5,000 shares following their appointment as a Committee chairperson.
