1998 STOCK OPTION AND INCENTIVE PLAN TO INCREASE THE NUMBER OF SHARES AUTHORIZED FOR ISSUANCE THEREUNDER AND TO MAKE OTHER CHANGES AS DESCRIBED IN THE ACCOMPANYING PROXY STATEMENT.

Discrimination based on Sexual Orientation

Against For ShrHoldr

Given current industry trends towards including such sexual orientation language into EEO policies, providing the company’s stated commitment to not discriminate on any basis other than merit and job-related qualifications, we believe that the requested amendment to company’s existing EEO policy could enhance its public relations and improve its competitive hiring practices without incurring substantial compliance costs for the company.

4 Amend Omnibus Stock Plan For For Mgmt The estimated shareholder value transfer of the

company's plans of 8 percent is less than the allowable cap for this company of 13 percent. However, while the plan expressly forbids repricing, it expressly permits the compensation committee to buyout previously-granted options on terms which are at the committee's discretion, which could include for cash payment. While the prohibition on repricing addresses the replacement or cancellation and regrant of awards in equity, it does not address the buyout of awards in cash, which is an action akin to repricing. We feel that the ability of the compensation committee to cash-out awards under the plan without shareholder approval reduces the incentive value of the plan.

THE SHARE INCENTIVE PLAN. For Against Mgmt

The company failed to provide a sufficient rationale for the amendment on repricing of all stock options under the plan and for the cancellation and regranting of options to Larry Frakes. Further the amendment would provide greater latitude for the board and the Compensation Committee to conduct a future repricing program without providing the terms and conditions to its shareholders. Therefore, we will vote against this proposal.
