(1) This reflects our 1993 Stock Option Plan and 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan and includes stock options
and stock appreciation rights, as well as 2,050,898 outstanding restricted stock units granted pursuant to the
2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan.

have a de minimis or no purchase price.
(3) This reflects our 2000 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan and includes only stock options.
2000 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan
In July 2000, our Compensation Committee approved the 2000 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, or the 2000
Plan. The 2000 Plan provides for the grant of nonqualified stock options to employees who are not officers or
members of our Board, and persons who have accepted employment and actually become employees within 120
days of such acceptance. The plan administrator determines when options granted under the 2000 Plan may be
exercised, except that no options may be exercised less than six months after grant, except in the case of the
death or disability of the optionee. Options granted under the 2000 Plan have an exercise price equal to 100% of
the fair market value of the shares underlying the option on the date of grant. The 2000 Plan permits options to be
exercised with cash, check, certain other shares of our common stock, consideration received by us under
“cashless exercise” programs or, if permitted by the plan administrator, promissory notes. In the event that we
dissolve, liquidate, reorganize, merge or consolidate with one or more corporations as a result of which we are
not the surviving corporation, or we sell substantially all of our assets or more than 80% of our then-outstanding
stock, the 2000 Plan provides that the plan administrator will provide for one or more of the following: (i) each
outstanding option will fully vest and become exercisable; (ii) the successor will assume or substitute for the
options; (iii) the 2000 Plan will continue; or (iv) each outstanding option will be exchanged for a payment in cash
or shares equal to the excess of the fair market value of our common stock over the exercise price. No future
awards will be granted from the 2000 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan or the 1993 Stock Option Plan.
