Stock Options
Our stock option plans are part of a broad-based, long-term retention program that is intended to attract and retain talented employees and directors and align stockholder and employee interests.

Pursuant to our 2001 Stock Option Plan (2001 Plan), we may grant options to selected employees, directors and consultants to purchase shares of our common stock at a price not less than the fair market value of the stock at the date of grant. The 2001 Plan provides for the grant of both incentive stock options and non-qualified stock options. Generally, options outstanding vest over five years and are exercisable for up to 10 years from the grant date. We also may grant options pursuant to our 2001 Non-Employee Directors’ Stock Option Plan (the 2001 Directors’ Plan). This plan provides for non-qualified stock options to be granted to non-employee directors at an exercise price of not less than fair market value of the stock at the date of grant, vesting over periods not exceeding five years and exercisable for up to 10 years from the grant date. The Board of Directors may terminate the 2001 Plan and/or the 2001 Directors’ Plan at any time though it must, nevertheless, honor any stock options previously granted pursuant to the plans.

Additional information regarding our stock option plans and plan activity for fiscal 2005, 2004 and 2003 is provided in our consolidated financial statements in this Annual Report in “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 8—Employee Benefit Plans” and in our 2006 Proxy Statement under the heading “Equity Compensation Plan Information.”
