The 10b5-1 share purchase period will commence February 20, 2008. Purchases will be effected by a broker and will be based upon the guidelines and parameters of the 10b5-1 plan. The aggregate number of shares purchased pursuant to the plan will not exceed five million. There is no guarantee as to the exact number of shares that will be repurchased under the stock repurchase program, and the Company may discontinue purchases at any time. Repurchased shares would be returned to the status of authorized but unissued shares of common stock.
