Recommendation that the 2001 Long-Term Incentive Plan be Amended and Restated and its Material
Terms Approved
We believe that the amended and restated Incentive Plan and the approval of its material terms are essential to
our continued success. Our employees are our most valuable asset. Equity awards such as those provided under
the plan will substantially assist us in continuing to attract and retain employees and non-employee directors in
the extremely competitive labor markets in which we compete. Such awards also are crucial to our ability to
motivate employees to achieve our goals. We will benefit from increased stock ownership by selected executives,
other employees and non-employee directors. The increase in the reserve of common stock available under the
plan will enable us to continue to grant such awards to executives, other eligible employees and our non-
employee directors.
Required Vote for this Proposal
To approve this proposal, a majority of voting power entitled to vote thereon, present in person or represented by
proxy, at the Annual Meeting must vote “FOR” this proposal.
If approved, when would the amended and restated plan become effective?
The amended and restated Incentive Plan would become effective upon stockholder approval at the Annual
Meeting.
THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS UNANIMOUSLY RECOMMENDS THAT YOU VOTE “FOR” THE
APPROVAL OF THE AMENDMENT AND RESTATEMENT OF THE 2001 LONG-TERM INCENTIVE
PLAN.
