Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In November 2000, the Company adopted its 2000 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "Plan"). The Company reserved 1,500,000 shares of common stock for issuance under the Plan. On the first day of January each year beginning January 1, 2001, additional shares of common stock are reserved for issuance under the Plan as determined by the Board of Directors. The plan limits the annual increase to the lesser of 1% of the Company's issued and outstanding common stock or 1,000,000 shares. The Plan provides eligible employees with the opportunity to acquire shares of common stock at a price of 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock on the first day of the offering period or the last day of the offering period, whichever is lower. The Plan is structured as a qualified employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the amended Internal Revenue Code of 1986. However, the Plan is not intended to be a qualified pension, profit sharing or stock bonus plan under Section 401(a) of the 1986 Code and is not subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Security Act of 1974. The Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the Plan at any time without notice. A total of 1,077,623, 705,185 and 253,647 shares were issued under the Plan in 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.
