Includes
the 1998 Employee Equity Incentive Plan, as amended. The purposes
of the
1998 Employee Equity Incentive Plan (the "1998 Plan"), adopted by
the
Board of Directors in 1998, are to attract and retain employees and
provide an incentive for them to assist us in achieving our long-range
performance goals, and to enable such employees to participate in
our
long-term growth. In general, under the 1998 Plan, all employees
who are
not officers or directors are eligible to participate in the 1998
Plan.
The 1998 Plan is currently administered by the Compensation Committee
of
the Board of Directors. Participants in the 1998 Plan are eligible
to
receive non-qualified stock options at an option price determined
by the
Stock Option Committee. All stock options granted under the 1998
Plan have
been granted for at least the fair market value on the date of grant.
A
total of 1,200,000 shares of our common stock have been authorized
for
issuance under the 1998 Plan.
