The Board also approved, subject to shareholder approval, the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the Plan). Under the terms of the Plan, the Company may issue 3,700,000 shares of Company common stock plus an additional number of shares of Company common stock equal to the number of shares previously granted under the Companys 1998 Stock Option Plan that either terminate, expire, or lapse after the date of the Boards approval of the Plan. Assuming stockholder approval of the Plan, no new awards will be available for issuance under the 1998 Stock Option Plan. Pursuant to the terms of the Plan, eligible individuals may be granted incentive stock options, non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, or stock grant awards. The Plan is designed to promote the success and enhance the value of the Company by linking the personal interests of the members of the Board, employees, officers, executives, consultants and advisors to those of Company stockholders and by providing such individuals with an incentive for outstanding performance to generate superior returns to the Companys stockholders.
In addition, on September 19, 2006, the Board, upon the of the recommendation of the Compensation Committee, approved compensation to non-employee directors in the form of 1,250 shares of unrestricted common stock of the Company to be granted on the last day of each fiscal quarter of the Company.
