This excerpt taken from the OWW DEF 14A filed Apr 22, 2009. Administration
The Equity and Incentive Plan is administered by the
compensation committee, which is comprised solely of independent
directors. The compensation committee has the authority, among
other things, to determine who will be granted awards and all of
the terms and conditions of the awards. The compensation
committee is also authorized to determine to what extent an
award may be settled, cancelled, forfeited or surrendered, to
interpret the Equity and
Table of Contents
Incentive Plan and any awards granted thereunder and to make all
other determinations necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Equity and Incentive Plan. Where the
vesting or payment of an award under the Equity and Incentive
Plan is subject to the attainment of performance goals, the
compensation committee is responsible for certifying that the
performance goals have been attained. Neither the compensation
committee nor the board has the authority under the Equity and
Incentive Plan to reprice, or to cancel and re-grant, any stock
option granted under the Equity and Incentive Plan, or to take
any action that would lower the exercise, base or purchase price
of any award granted under the Equity and Incentive Plan without
first obtaining the approval of our shareholders. See
Proposal 4 where we are asking our shareholders to approve
an amendment to the Equity and Incentive Plan to authorize a
one-time stock option exchange program.
