      Share
      and Unit Option Committee granted common
shares

      the Company, par value $0.01 per share, subject to certain restrictions, which
      we refer to as the Executive Restricted Shares, to the Company's executive
      officers. The CEO received 72,000 Executive R
estricted
      Shares, the COO received 48,000

All
      other
      executive officers of the Company each received 2,000 Executive Restricted
      Shares. The grants are pursuant to, and the terms of the Executive Restricted
      Shares are governed by, the
Company's

      Award Plan.
Upon
      issuance, the Executive Restricted Shares may not be transferred, alienated,
      pledged, encumbered or assigned (such transfer restrictions we refer to as
      the

Restricted
      Shares will begin vesting on February 28, 2007.
The

      and Unit Option Committee of the Board may, in its discretion, remove some
      or
      all of the Executive Restrictions and accelerate the vesting of some or all
      of
      the Executive Restricted Shares at any time or from time to time. Furthermore,
      Executive Restricted Shares still subject to the Executive Restrictions shall
      be
      forfeited upon termination of the grantee's employment, except that no
      forfeiture shall occur if the termination of employment is (i) by the employer
      without Cause, (ii) by the grantee for Good Reason or (iii) by reason of the
      Grantee's death or disability.
