<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The grants and awards reported above represent the second award cycle under the 2006 LTEIP covering the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010. In general, the options, all of which are non-qualified options granted at a strike price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the date of grant, will be outstanding for up to ten years from date of grant and will vest (and first become exercisable) ratably over the next three years on each of the succeeding anniversaries of the grant date. The number of performance shares to be earned can range from 0.5x (threshold) to 2.0 x (maximum) of the number of target shares awarded depending on the extent to which the Registrant attains the level of Return on Invested Capital, or &#147;ROIC&#148; (as defined in the performance measure adopted for the cycle). Continued service through the end of the cycle is required to earn the award with specified exceptions that include changes affecting control of the Registrant and employment terminations without Cause or for Good Reason (as defined in the award agreement governing the grants).</P>

<P align=left><B>Executive Employment Agreements</B></P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Contemporaneous with the 2008 LTEIP grants and awards, four of the Named Executives, Messrs. Gress, Heyse, Farran and Calvarin, entered into executive employment agreements with the Registrant effective January 25, 2008. In general, the new agreements have the same overall features for each Named Executive, differing as to that executive&#146;s job description, base salary amount, relative level of target bonuses, entitlements to levels of welfare, fringe and other benefits and severance pay periods. The agreement covering Mr. Gress provides further that he is entitled to be nominated for election to the Board and, if elected by the Registrant&#146;s stockholders, is to serve as a director and be named Chairman of the Board.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The following table summarizes the base salary, short term incentive plan percentage and long term incentive plan percentage entitlements of each of the Named Executives, as effective for 2008 under the new employment agreements:</P>

<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The employment agreements have initial terms of three, two, two, and one year(s) for Messrs.

They may be terminated at any time by the Company with or without &#147;Cause&#148; (as defined in the employment agreements) or by the executives for &#147;Good Reason&#148; (as defined in the employment agreements) according to prescribed procedures.

<P align=left>event of termination without Cause or with Good Reason amounting to 24, 18, 18 and 12 months of base salary (or the amount resulting from the Registrant&#146;s applicable severance policy if greater) for Messrs. Gress, Heyse, Farran and Calvarin, respectively, paid in monthly installments, together with short and long term incentives paid according to <I>pro rata </I>formulas, the vesting of options, equity awards and other benefits, and the continuation of coverages under insurance and welfare programs for the applicable severance periods. The agreements contain additional provisions coordinating them with other company sponsored plans, and, in the case of Messrs. Gress and Heyse, with severance provisions of their superseded prior employment agreements, if those executives are terminated prior to December 31, 2008.</P>
<P align=left>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The employment agreements also contain so called &#147;double trigger&#148; change-in-control provisions designed to avoid distraction potentially detrimental to stockholder value and to enhance protection for the executives from events affecting the Registrant, the future outcomes of which cannot be predicted. In the event termination of the employment of the four Named Executives occurs without Cause or with Good Reason during a period extending from six months prior to, through two years following, a &#147;Change-in-Control&#148; (as defined in the employment agreements), the severance and other benefits coverage periods are increased to 36, 27, 27 and 18 months for Messrs. Gress, Heyse, Farran and Calvarin, respectively, and payment of the severance amounts in lump sum is required. The employment agreements contain terms providing the executives with &#147;gross up&#148; payments for taxes, interest and penalties incurred by them on payments received under the agreements that are determined to be &#147;excess parachute payments&#148; under the Internal Revenue Code, subject to adjustment for additional payments or return to the Registrant of overpayments after tax liabilities are settled.

2008 LTEIP Awards

The Named Executive recipients and their grants/awards are as follows:

The grants and awards reported above represent the second award cycle under the 2006 LTEIP covering the period January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2010. In general, the options, all of which are non-qualified options granted at a strike price equal to the closing price of the Common Stock on the NASDAQ Stock Market on the date of grant, will be outstanding for up to ten years from date of grant and will vest (and first become exercisable) ratably over the next three years on each of the succeeding anniversaries of the grant date. The number of performance shares to be earned can range from 0.5x (threshold) to 2.0 x (maximum) of the number of target shares awarded depending on the extent to which the Registrant attains the level of Return on Invested Capital, or "ROIC" (as defined in the performance measure adopted for the cycle). Continued service through the end of the cycle is required to earn the award with specified exceptions that include changes affecting control of the Registrant and employment terminations without Cause or for Good Reason (as defined in the award agreement governing the grants).

Executive Employment Agreements
Contemporaneous with the 2008 LTEIP grants and awards, four of the Named Executives, Messrs. Gress, Heyse, Farran and Calvarin, entered into executive employment agreements with the Registrant effective January 25, 2008. In general, the new agreements have the same overall features for each Named Executive, differing as to that executive's job description, base salary amount, relative level of target bonuses, entitlements to levels of welfare, fringe and other benefits and severance pay periods. The agreement covering Mr. Gress provides further that he is entitled to be nominated for election to the Board and, if elected by the Registrant's stockholders, is to serve as a director and be named Chairman of the Board.
The following table summarizes the base salary, short term incentive plan percentage and long term incentive plan percentage entitlements of each of the Named Executives, as effective for 2008 under the new employment agreements:

The employment agreements have initial terms of three, two, two, and one year(s) for Messrs. Gress, Heyse, Farran and Calvarin, respectively, with automatic renewal terms of one year, unless one year's notice of non-renewal is given. They may be terminated at any time by the Company with or without "Cause" (as defined in the employment agreements) or by the executives for "Good Reason" (as defined in the employment agreements) according to prescribed procedures. Special provisions are also made for their termination as a result of disability or death. The agreements provide for cash severance payments in the
3
event of termination without Cause or with Good Reason amounting to 24, 18, 18 and 12 months of base salary (or the amount resulting from the Registrant's applicable severance policy if greater) for Messrs. Gress, Heyse, Farran and Calvarin, respectively, paid in monthly installments, together with short and long term incentives paid according to
pro rata
formulas, the vesting of options, equity awards and other benefits, and the continuation of coverages under insurance and welfare programs for the applicable severance periods. The agreements contain additional provisions coordinating them with other company sponsored plans, and, in the case of Messrs. Gress and Heyse, with severance provisions of their superseded prior employment agreements, if those executives are terminated prior to December 31, 2008.
The employment agreements also contain so called "double trigger" change-in-control provisions designed to avoid distraction potentially detrimental to stockholder value and to enhance protection for the executives from events affecting the Registrant, the future outcomes of which cannot be predicted. In the event termination of the employment of the four Named Executives occurs without Cause or with Good Reason during a period extending from six months prior to, through two years following, a "Change-in-Control" (as defined in the employment agreements), the severance and other benefits coverage periods are increased to 36, 27, 27 and 18 months for Messrs. Gress, Heyse, Farran and Calvarin, respectively, and payment of the severance amounts in lump sum is required. The employment agreements contain terms providing the executives with "gross up" payments for taxes, interest and penalties incurred by them on payments received under the agreements that are determined to be "excess parachute payments" under the Internal Revenue Code, subject to adjustment for additional payments or return to the Registrant of overpayments after tax liabilities are settled. In general, payment of amounts due under the employment agreements is subject to the Named Executives having delivered (and not having revoked) releases in favor of the Registrant.
The new employment agreements for the four Named Executives also provide confidentiality, proprietary rights, non-solicitation and non-competition provisions governing the Registrant's and executives' relative rights as to those matters. To protect the Registrant's business, these include non-solicitation and non-competition periods of 18 and 12 months, respectively, from the date of the executive's termination.
The above description of the new executive employment agreements is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the form of such agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this Current Report on Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
