All directors are reimbursed for expenses incurred in attending meetings.
     Each non-employee director receives, as of the date of the first board meeting following our annual meeting of stockholders, an annual grant of restricted stock units having a fixed dollar value of $75,000, based upon the fair market value of the Company’s common stock on the grant date. The restricted stock units vest fully on the first anniversary of the date of grant, pursuant to our 2006 Omnibus Incentive Plan.
