• Annual retainer of $50,000, up from $30,000.

• Board and Board Committee meeting fee of $2,000 per meeting, increased from $1,500 per meeting.

• Annual retainer of $15,000 for the Chair of the Audit Committee and $10,000 for the Chair of the Compensation Committee, up from $10,000 and $7,500, respectively. The annual retainer of $7,500 for the Chair of the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee remains unchanged. The Chairs of the Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee have decided to accept their annual retainers beginning as of January 1, 2008.

• Annual retainer for the nonexecutive Chairman of the Board of $125,000, an increase from $100,000.
