Restated 1992 Equity Incentive Plan (the “1992 Plan”), as provided in the Amended and Restated 2004 Stock
Incentive Plan. In addition to being available for future issuance upon exercise of options that may be granted
after February 3, 2007, one-half of the total number of shares of common stock covered by the Amended and

December 31, 2006 and based on a fair market value of $26.40 per share for our common stock on January 3,
2007 (the first business day of the current offering period). In the event the fair market value of our common
stock is less than $26.40 per share on June 30, 2007, additional shares will be issued by us.
