avoids the potential negative impacts of failure to approve the Amendment discussed below under the heading &#147;Potential Impacts of Failure of our Stockholders to Approve the Amended 1997 Plan.&#148; </FONT></P>

STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In determining whether to extend the term of the Plan and to recommend the Amended 1997 Plan to our stockholders for approval, the Board also considered a stockholder cost analysis, burn rate analysis and
voting power dilution analysis prepared by an independent third party consultant (the &#147;Plan Consultant&#148;). The Plan Consultant&#146;s analysis includes an estimate that the stockholder cost percentage resulting from the extension of the
Amended 1997 Plan from and after the date of this proxy statement could be 3.74%, which is below the acceptable dilutive impact threshold noted by the Plan Consultant. The stockholder cost percentage was computed by the Plan Consultant as the
estimated cost to stockholders of the Amended 1997 Plan&#146;s extension from and after the date of this proxy statement expressed as a percentage of the Company&#146;s estimated total market value. The Plan Consultant&#146;s analysis indicated that
the Company&#146;s average burn rate of stock options over the 2012, 2011 and 2010 fiscal years was 0.35% (calculated utilizing the Plan Consultant&#146;s internal burn rate formula), as compared to an industry burn rate threshold of 4.57%. The Plan
Consultant&#146;s analysis indicated that the Company&#146;s average burn rate of stock options over the 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, and 2008 fiscal years was 0.70%. The average burn rates over such three and five year periods were calculated by the
Plan Consultant as the average of the number of shares underlying awards granted in each such fiscal year divided by the weighted average common shares outstanding for that fiscal year. The Plan Consultant&#146;s burn rate formula differs from our
internal burn rate formula in that it applies a multiplier to &#147;full value awards&#148; (shares underlying restricted stock awards and other full value awards for which the participant does not pay for the shares), resulting in a higher burn
rate. The Plan consultant&#146;s analysis includes an estimate that the voting power dilution (on a fully diluted basis) result from the extension of the Plan from and after the date of this proxy statement could be 3.88%, which is below the 10.23%
voting power dilution percentage noted by the Plan Consultant. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><B>Relevant Options </B></FONT></P>

&#147;Relevant Options&#148;). The Relevant Options have been consistently reported in each of the Company&#146;s periodic reports and proxy statements since the dates of grant of the Relevant Options, but were granted after the Plan&#146;s original
expiration date. The Relevant Options provide the holder with the right to purchase Common Stock in an amount and at the exercise price set forth in the table below. Each option expires ten years from its date of grant, and vests in four equal
annual installments beginning one year following the date of grant. The average market values of the Company&#146;s Common Stock on applicable dates of grant, December&nbsp;5, 2008,&nbsp;February&nbsp;25, 2010 and August&nbsp;5, 2010 were $8.78;

<P STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The following discussion summarizes certain material U.S. Federal income tax consequences to us and U.S. holders with respect to the
acquisition, ownership, exercise or disposition of awards which may be granted under the Amended 1997 Plan. The discussion is based upon the provisions of the Code and the regulations and rulings promulgated thereunder, all of which are subject to
change (possibly with retroactive effect) or different interpretations. This summary reflects generally contemplated consequences and does not purport to deal with all aspects of U.S. Federal income taxation that may be relevant to an individual
award holder&#146;s situation, nor any tax consequences arising under the laws of any state, local or foreign jurisdiction. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Incentive Stock Options.</I> Incentive Stock Options are subject to special federal income tax treatment. No federal income tax is
imposed on the optionee upon the grant or the exercise of an Incentive Stock Option if the optionee does not dispose of the shares acquired pursuant to the exercise within the two-year period beginning on the date the option was granted or within
the one-year period beginning on the date the option was exercised (collectively, the &#147;holding period&#148;). In such event, the Company would not be entitled to any deduction for federal income tax purposes in connection with the grant or
exercise of the option or the disposition of the shares so acquired. With respect to an Incentive Stock Option, the difference between the fair market value of the stock on the date of exercise and the exercise price must generally be included in
the optionee&#146;s alternative minimum taxable income for the year in which such exercise occurs. However, if the optionee exercises an Incentive Stock Option and disposes of the shares received in the same year and the amount realized is less than
the fair market value of the shares on the date of exercise, then the amount included in alternative minimum taxable income will not exceed the amount realized over the adjusted basis of the shares. </FONT></P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Upon disposition of the shares received upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option after the holding period, any appreciation of the
shares above the exercise price should constitute long-term capital gain. If an optionee disposes of shares acquired pursuant to his or her exercise of an Incentive Stock Option prior to the end of the holding period, the optionee will be treated as
having received, at the time of disposition, compensation taxable </FONT></P>

as ordinary income. In such event, and subject to the application of Section&nbsp;162(m) as discussed below, we may claim a deduction for compensation paid at the same time and in the same amount
as compensation is treated as received by the optionee. The amount treated as compensation is the excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise (or in the case of a sale in which a loss would be recognized, the amount
realized on the sale if less) over the exercise price; any amount realized in excess of the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise would be treated as short-term or long-term capital gain, depending on the holding period of the
shares. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Non-statutory Stock Options.</I> As a general rule, no federal income tax is imposed on the optionee upon the
grant of a Non-statutory Stock Option, and we are not entitled to a tax deduction by reason of such grant. Generally, upon the exercise of a Non-statutory Stock Option, the optionee will be treated as receiving compensation taxable as ordinary
income in the year of exercise in an amount equal to the excess of the fair market value of the shares of stock at the time of exercise over the option price paid for such shares. Upon the exercise of a Non-statutory Stock Option, and subject to the
application of Section&nbsp;162(m) as discussed below, we may claim a deduction for compensation paid at the same time and in the same amount as compensation income is recognized by the optionee assuming any federal income tax reporting requirements
are satisfied. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT STYLE="font-family:Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Upon a subsequent disposition of the shares received upon exercise of a Non-statutory Stock Option, any
difference between the fair market value of the shares at the time of exercise and the amount realized on the disposition would be treated as capital gain or loss. If the shares received upon the exercise of an option are transferred to the optionee
subject to certain restrictions, then the taxable income realized by the optionee, unless the optionee elects otherwise, and our tax deduction (assuming any federal income tax reporting requirements are satisfied) should be deferred and should be
measured at the fair market value of the shares at the time the restrictions lapse. The restrictions imposed on officers, directors and 10% stockholders by Section&nbsp;16(b) of the Exchange Act is such a restriction during the period prescribed
thereby if other shares have been purchased by such an individual within six months of the exercise of a Non-statutory Stock Option. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

to certain performance-based compensation that satisfies certain requirements of Section&nbsp;162(m). The Amended 1997 Plan is intended to permit the Committee to grant certain Non-statutory stock options to covered executive officers that is
intended to constitute qualified performance-based compensation for purposes of Section&nbsp;162(m). However, we can provide no assurances that the Internal Revenue Service would agree that certain of the Relevant Options are exempt from the
