Under
Rule 13d-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange
Act”), certain shares may be deemed to be beneficially owned by more
than
one person (if, for example, a person shares the power to vote or
the
power to dispose of the shares). In addition, under Rule 13d-3(d)(1)
of
the Exchange Act, shares which the person (or group) has the right
to
acquire within 60 days after the Record Date are deemed to be outstanding
in calculating the beneficial ownership and the percentage ownership
of
the person (or group) but are not deemed to be outstanding as to
any other
person or group. As a result, the percentage of outstanding shares
of any
person as shown in this table does not necessarily reflect the person's
actual ownership of voting power with respect to the number of shares
of
Common Stock actually outstanding at the Record
Date.

The
value of the equity awards is calculated in accordance with the amount
recognized for financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal
year
ended December 31, 2006, in accordance with the Financial Accounting
Standards Board Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123
(revised 2004), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”). The amounts are
determined using the Black Scholes option valuation model. This model
was
developed to estimate the fair value of traded options, which have
different characteristics than employee stock options, and changes
to the
subjective assumptions used in the model can result in materially
different fair value estimates. This hypothetical value is based
on the
following assumptions: an exercise price equal to the market value
on date
of grant; expected volatility of 56.03%; risk-free interest rate
of 4.81%;
expected term of 6.57 years; and estimated dividend yield of 0%.
See Note
13 to the Company's audited financial statements for the fiscal year
ended
December 31, 2006, included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K
filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2007,
for a
further discussion of the relevant assumptions used in calculating
grant
date fair value pursuant to SFAS
123(R).

Under
the executive cash bonus plan, no bonus is paid if the Company does
not
achieve 80% of the bonus formula. The amounts in column (d) assume
80% of
2006 bonus amount.
|
Grant
date fair value (column (l)) of stock options is calculated in accordance
with SFAS 123(R). The amounts are determined using the Black Scholes
option valuation model. This model was developed to estimate the
fair
value of traded options, which have different characteristics than
employee stock options, and changes to the subjective assumptions
used in
the model can result in materially different fair value estimates.
This
hypothetical value is based on the following assumptions: an exercise
price equal to the market value on date of grant; expected volatility
of
56.03%; risk-free interest rate of 4.81%; expected term of 6.57 years;
and
estimated dividend yield of 0%. Grant date fair value of stock awards
is
calculated by multiplying the number of stock units by the price
of the
Company’s Common Stock on the grant
date.
|
· |
increase
the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued pursuant
to awards
granted thereunder by 2,200,000
shares;
|
· |
delete
the provision thereof that automatically increases, by 1% of the
outstanding shares on each January 1, the maximum number of shares
of
Common Stock that may be issued
thereunder;

· |
provide
that stock options and stock appreciation rights will not be repriced
without the approval of the
stockholders;
|
· |
provide
that the exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under
a
stock option be not less than 100% of the fair market value of the
Common
Stock on the date of grant of such stock
option;
|
· |
provide
for the “cashless” (or “net”) exercise of stock
options;
|
· |
provide
that each share of Common Stock subject to issuance under any award,
other
than options or stock appreciation rights, shall be counted against
the
maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under
the 2001
Incentive Plan as 1.52 shares;
|
· |
provide
that, to the extent a stock appreciation right is settled for shares
of
Common Stock, the number of shares used for determining the benefit
under
such stock appreciation right shall be counted against the maximum
number
of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under the 2001 Incentive
Plan, regardless of the number of shares used to settle the stock
appreciation right upon such
exercise;
|
· |
provide
that, to the extent a stock option is exercised on a “cashless” (or “net”)
basis, the number of shares of Common Stock issued upon exercise,

The
amounts in column (c) and (d) reflect the dollar amount recognized
for
financial statement reporting purposes for the fiscal year ended
December
31, 2006, in accordance with SFAS 123(R). The table excludes $100,922
of
SFAS 123(R) compensation expense in 2006 related to Dr. Lu’s Board service
for the period of 2003 through his appointment as President and Chief
Executive Officer in 2005. The amounts are determined using the Black
Scholes option valuation model. This model was developed to estimate
the
fair value of traded options, which have different characteristics
than
employee stock options, and changes to the subjective assumptions
used in
the model can result in materially different fair value estimates.
This
hypothetical value is based on the following assumptions: an exercise
price equal to the market value on date of grant; expected volatility
of
56.03%; risk-free interest rate of 4.81%; expected term of 6.57 years;
and
estimated dividend yield of 0%. See Note 13 to the Company's audited
financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006,
included
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities
and
Exchange Commission on March 1, 2007, for a further discussion of
the
relevant assumptions used in calculating grant date fair value pursuant
to
SFAS 123(R).
