In lieu of these stock options, the Board of Directors anticipates that it will award each non-employee director 2,500 shares of restricted stock under the terms of the Company's 2003 Equity Incentive Plan on the date of his or her initial election or appointment to the Board of Directors and award each non-employee director 2,500 shares of restricted stock under the terms of the Company's 2003 Equity Incentive Plan annually on the date of the Company's annual meeting of shareholders. These restricted shares will vest, in each case, on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Stock Ownership Guidelines By the later of (i) August 23, 2008; or (ii) three years from a non-employee director's initial appointment or election to the Board of Directors, each non-employee director must beneficially own shares of the Company's common stock having a value equal to at least three times the then annual retainer paid to the Company's non-employee directors. Shares of restricted stock awarded to a non-employee director shall be included when calculating whether a non-employee director owns the requisite amount of the Company's common stock under these guidelines, but shares subject to unexercised options will not.
