Eligible options have exercise prices that are significantly higher than the current market price of the Company&#146;s stock. By making the Offer, the Company&#146;s intent is to provide eligible option holders with the opportunity to receive restricted stock units which have greater retention value because such restricted stock units are more certain to provide compensatory income than the underwater options they replace, thereby benefiting the Company in its efforts to retain its employees.</font></p>
