ITEM 1.01. ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

The Compensation Committee has authorized awards under the Company's 2003
Long-Term Incentive Plan which consist of three different types of incentives:
nonqualified stock options, shares of restricted stock, and restricted stock
units. A brief description of the each of these incentives follows.

Nonqualified Stock Options: The nonqualified stock option portion of the award
vests based on continued service with the Company. The options have an exercise
price equal to grant date fair market value and generally have a term of 10
years, subject to earlier expiration if the recipient terminates employment
before the expiration date. The options can be exercised at any time after the
vesting date and before the expiration date by giving written notice to the
Company, accompanied by payment of the exercise price and applicable tax
withholding.

Restricted Shares: A portion of the award consists of restricted shares which
vest based on continued service with the Company until a specified vesting date.
If the recipient terminates employment prior to the vesting date for any reason
other than death, disability or retirement, the restricted shares are forfeited.
The restricted shares become fully vested upon a change in control of the
Company. During the period the shares are restricted they cannot be transferred,
sold, assigned, pledged or otherwise encumbered. However, holders of the
restricted shares will have all of the other rights of a stockholder, including
the right to vote such shares and the right to receive dividends paid on the
restricted shares.

Restricted Stock Units. Each restricted stock unit entitles the holder to a
share of Company common stock on the vesting date. The vesting date occurs at
the end of the performance period established by the Compensation Committee for
the award. The percentage of restricted stock units vesting on the vesting date,
if any, is based on the level of attainment of net income growth targets
established by the Compensation Committee. If the recipient terminates
employment prior to the end of the performance period for any reason other than
death, disability or retirement, or the level of performance obtained for the
performance period is less than an established threshold, the restricted stock
units are forfeited.

All of the material terms and conditions established by the Compensation
Committee with respect to the above-described awards are reflected in an
agreement ("LTI Agreement") between the Company and eligible employees. A copy
of the LTI Agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by
reference.
