(the "Company") approved, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment and restatement of the Company's 1996 Stock Option/Stock Issuance Plan (the "Plan") to increase the shares authorized for issuance under the Plan by 1,800,000 shares, extend the term of the Plan to March 25, 2015 and make certain other technical amendments to the Plan.

Item 1.02 Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement
On March 25, 2005, the Board of Directors also approved the termination of the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") effective March 31, 2005. The ESPP allowed eligible employees of the Company to purchase shares of the Company's common stock through a payroll-deduction based employee stock purchase plan designed to qualify under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. The Board of Directors approved the discontinuance of the ESPP in view of limited participation, short average holding periods of stock purchased under the ESPP and increases in overall administrative and other costs associated with new accounting rules affecting the ESPP.
