(the "Company") amended the Company's 2002 Stock Option Plan and 2003 Stock Option Plan (the "Plans") to eliminate "Limited Rights" from the Plans and any other feature that grants an option holder the right to receive a cash settlement of an option in circumstances that are not within the sole discretion of the Company. The Board determined to adopt these amendments in response to a recent interpretation of FAS 123(R) that would require reclassification as a "liability" and subsequent mark-to-market accounting, for any option or other award the settlement of which, in cash, is not in the sole discretion of the issuer of the option. Pursuant to Instruction 2 of Item 601(b)(10) of Regulation S-K, the amendments to the Plans will be filed as exhibits to the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K. Item 9.01.
