The only equity compensation plan that has not been approved by the Company’s stockholders is the Company’s Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP.  The ESPP permits employees to purchase the Company’s common stock each calendar quarter through payroll deductions.  The purchase price is 85% of the closing market price on the last business day of the calendar quarter (or, if lower, the closing market price on the first business day of the calendar quarter).  The ESPP authorizes the issuance of 4 million shares of the Company’s common stock.  The number of securities reflected in the table above for the ESPP includes the share allocation for the fourth quarter of 2003, which were issued in January 2004.  The ESPP was adopted prior to the spinoff of the Company in 1996 and, as a result of action taken by the Board in 2001, has a term ending on December 31, 2006.
