On February 23, 2005, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted an amendment to the Company's 1988 Incentive Stock Plan, as previously amended (the "1988 Plan"), and directed the amendment be submitted to its stockholders for their approval. The amendment provided for an increase in the number of shares of the Company's common stock available under the 1988 Plan by 6,000,000. By actions of the Board of Directors on June 7, 2005 and the Executive Committee on June 10, 2005, the amendment was revised to reduce the increase in the number of shares from 6,000,000 to 2,800,000.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
At the Company's annual meeting of stockholders on June 23, 2005, the Company's stockholders approved this amendment.
