The awards were made pursuant to the Company's Amended and Restated Long-Term Incentive Plan (1999) (the "Plan"), which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission with the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2002. A form of restricted stock unit agreement and performance cash unit agreement are filed with this Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2, respectively. A form of nonqualified stock option agreement and restricted stock agreement were previously filed with the Company's Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2004.
The stock options are exercisable at a price of $33.24 per share and vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in the nonqualified stock option agreement. Subject to earlier termination as described in the Plan, the stock options expire ten years from the date of grant. Upon a change of control of the Company, or upon the optionee's death, disability or retirement, all unvested options will become vested and exercisable. In the event of the optionee's termination of employment for any reason other than death, disability or retirement, any portion of the option which has not become exercisable shall immediately terminate.
The restricted shares and restricted share units vest in accordance with the schedule set forth in the restricted stock award agreement or restricted stock unit agreement. If the performance measures set forth in the applicable agreement are not attained, the restricted shares (or units) will be forfeited and returned to the Company. Upon a change in control of the Company, the restricted shares (or units) will become 100% vested and nonforfeitable. Unless the committee administering the plan decides otherwise, if the recipient's employment is terminated for any reason, all restricted shares (or units) will be forfeited and returned to the Company. Upon award of the restricted stock shares (but not units), the recipient has immediate rights of ownership in the stock, including the right to vote the stock and receive dividends on the stock.

Performance cash units are payable in cash based upon the attainment of the performance measure set forth in the award agreement that relates to the Company's internal measure of total shareholder return. As set forth in the award agreements, the formula used to calculate award payments is: base salary, multiplied by the internal total shareholder return percentage, multiplied by the applicable performance multiple reflected in the table above. The award agreements also set forth a minimum total shareholder return percentage below which no award payments will be made and a maximum total shareholder return percentage at which award payments will be capped. Upon a change in control of the Company, performance cash units will become vested and nonforfeitable at the target payout level. Unless the committee administering the plan decides otherwise, if the recipient's employment is terminated for any reason, all performance cash units will be forfeited and returned to the Company.
