(1) The stock is restricted stock issued pursuant to the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. If the Company's common stock ("Common Stock") closes at or above per share prices equal to $39.68, $45.63 or $52.47 for any 20 consecutive trading days which include dates on or before February 22, 2011 (the fourth anniversary of the grant date), 33 1/3% of the restricted stock performance vests (i.e., the transfer and forfeiture restrictions terminate) upon reaching each such price target. In addition, any remaining unvested restricted stock vests on February 22, 2011 or thereafter if the Common Stock closes at or above $41.40 per share for any 20 consecutive trading days which include dates on or before February 22, 2011. Any shares of restricted stock that have not otherwise vested as set forth in the preceding two sentences will be forfeited.
(2) The stock is restricted stock issued pursuant to the Company's 2004 Stock Incentive Plan. Such restricted stock will vest on December 31, 2008 or thereafter, provided the Common Stock closes at or above $44.50 per share for 20 consecutive trading days which include any date on or between July 1, 2008 and December 31, 2008. Any shares of such restricted stock that have not otherwise vested as set forth in the preceding sentence will be forfeited. Any unvested portion of such restricted stock generally will be forfeited upon termination of employment, unless such involves a qualifying termination relating to a change in control or the death or disability of the Reporting Person.
