WHEREAS the Board of Directors of the Company has voted to amend all stock option agreements which represent outstanding options granted by the Company pursuant to the Company’s 1996 Stock Incentive Plan, as amended, and 1999 Stock Incentive Plan, to provide for the early exercise of unvested stock options for restricted stock;
