be.

 Patrick J. Sullivan and Daniel J. Levangie, employee directors of our company, do not receive any
compensation for services rendered as a director. 
 Our non-employee directors are also eligible to participate in our 2004 Omnibus Stock
Plan. Under the 2004 Omnibus Stock Plan, each non-employee director may be granted stock options and opportunities to make direct purchases of stock and other equity interests in our company. 
 The Board of Directors has currently approved an annual option grant to purchase up to 16,000 shares of common stock, which vests in one-twelfth
increments on the first day of each calendar quarter for three years. Also, upon commencement of service as a director, each new non-employee director receives an option to purchase the same number of shares of common stock as the annual option
grant in effect at that time. Each non-employee director is entitled, under our Amended and Restated Director Compensation Method Plan, to receive payment of the annual retainer fees for any calendar year either in cash or in shares of our common
stock. Each non-employee director is also entitled to receive an annual stock award of 1,000 shares of our common stock, which is earned monthly based on service. Lastly, each non-employee director is paid a cash fee for every meeting attended as
set forth above. Each non-employee director may elect to defer for tax purposes the payment of the annual retainer, annual stock award and meeting attendance fees.
