Employee Stock Purchase Plan

In February 2002, the Company adopted the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”), which reserved a total of 1,166,666 shares of common stock for issuance. The 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan also provides for annual increases in the number of shares available for issuance on the first day of each year, beginning with 2003, equal to the lesser of:

 

   

2% of the outstanding shares of the common stock on the first day of the applicable year;

 

   

666,666 shares; and

 

   

such other amount as the Company’s Board of Directors may determine.

Under the Company’s ESPP, employees may purchase common stock of the Company through accumulated payroll deductions. The purchase price of the common stock acquired by the employees participating in the ESPP is 85% of the closing price on either the first day of the offering period or the last day of the purchase period, whichever is lower. Through May 1, 2006, offering periods were twenty-four months, and the purchase periods were six months. Therefore, each offering period included four six-month purchase periods, and the purchase price for each six-month period was determined by comparing the closing prices on the first day of the offering period and the last day of the applicable purchase period. In this manner, the look-back for determining the purchase price was up to twenty-four months. However, effective May 1, 2006, the ESPP was amended so that offering and purchase periods take place concurrently in consecutive six month increments. Under the amended

ESPP, therefore, the look-back for determining the purchase price is six months. Employees may invest up to 15% of their gross compensation through payroll deductions. In no event shall an employee be permitted to purchase more than 8,334 shares of common stock during any six-month purchase period. During the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006, employees purchased approximately 231,068, 205,416 and 378,361 shares at average prices of $21.00, $18.43 and $9.84 per share, respectively. Cash received from purchases under the ESPP for the years ended December 31, 2008, 2007 and 2006 was $4.9 million, $3.8 million and $3.7 million, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, 2,399,863 shares were available for future issuance under the 2002 Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
