This excerpt taken from the ININ DEF 14A filed Apr 11, 2005. COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
Full-time officers of the Company or its subsidiaries do not receive additional compensation for serving as members of the Boards of Directors of the Company or its subsidiaries. No additional compensation is paid if a full-time officer serves on any committee of such Boards of Directors. Non-employees serving as members of the Companys Board of Directors receive an annual retainer of $10,000, payable in quarterly installments, in connection with membership on the Companys Board of Directors. In addition, each member receives $1,000 for attending in person and $500 for attending by telephone any meeting of the Board of Directors or any meeting of a committee of the Board of Directors that is not held in conjunction with a meeting of the full Board of Directors. An additional fee of $5,000 per year, payable in quarterly installments, is paid to the Chairman of the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors and $1,000 per year, payable in quarterly installments, is paid to each other member of the Audit Committee. Directors are entitled to reimbursement of expenses incurred in connection with attendance at Board and committee meetings. Non-employees serving as members of the Companys Board of Directors are eligible to receive automatic stock option grants under the Companys Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (the Directors Plan), which was adopted by the Board of Directors on April 14, 1999 and by the shareholders on April 16, 1999. On February 11, 2004, the Board of Directors approved, and on May 19, 2004, the shareholders of the Company approved, an amendment to the Directors Plan to, among other things, increase from 150,000 to 300,000 the shares subject to option grants thereunder. As of March 31, 2005, there were four non-employee Board members eligible to participate in the Directors Plan: Edward L. Hamburg, Mark E. Hill, Samuel F. Hulbert and William E. McWhirter. The Directors Plan provides that, on the date of the Annual Meeting of Shareholders of the Company each year, each Eligible Director on such date is automatically granted an option to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock that is equal to 8,000 multiplied by a fraction (a) the numerator of which is the number of meetings of the Board and each committee of the Board on which such Eligible Director served that such Eligible Director attended during the immediately preceding year, and (b) the denominator of which is the total number of meetings of the Board and each committee of the Board on which such Eligible Director served that were held during the immediately preceding year. Such option would be immediately exercisable unless otherwise determined by the Board and would have such other terms and conditions as specified in the Directors Plan. The exercise price for options will be equal to the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted. Furthermore, the Board of Directors has the full and complete authority and discretion, except as limited by the Directors Plan, to grant additional options to Eligible Directors from time to time and to provide the terms and conditions (which need not be identical among Eligible Directors), including without limitation the vesting provisions, thereof. The exercise price for options will be equal to the fair market value per share of Common Stock on the date the option is granted. 18 Upon appointment or election to the Board of Directors, the Board anticipates that it will generally grant an option to purchase 20,000 shares of Common Stock to the new Director, which option will vest over four years. |
