(1) Restricted stock units which represent the right to receive shares of common stock upon vesting. The restricted stock units vest in three annual installments of 33 1/3% beginning on March 18, 2014.
(2) Performance share units earned by the reporting person from a March 20, 2012 grant, as certified by the Issuer's Compensation, Nominating and Governance Committee (the "Committee") on March 18, 2013. Each performance share unit represents the right to one share of the Issuer's common stock. The amount reported includes (i) 2,149 performance share units that were settled and paid in unrestricted shares of the Issuer's common stock (prior to reduction for shares withheld in satisfaction of tax withholding obligations) immediately following the Committee's certification and (ii) 4,294 performance share units that have been earned by the reporting person but remain subject to time-based vesting requirements (2,147 each until March 20, 2014 and March 20, 2015), and once vested are payable solely in unrestricted shares of the Issuer's common stock.
(3) The option vests in four annual installments of 25% beginning on March 18, 2014.
(4) On December 19, 2008, the reporting person was granted an option to purchase 250,000 shares of common stock scheduled to vest in installments of 3.3332%, 20%, 20%, 20%, 20% and 16.6668% per year based on the Issuer's satisfaction of certain performance criteria for each of the 2008 through 2013 fiscal years, subject to certain accelerated vesting conditions. The number of securities reported in this column includes the vested portion of such options that remain unexercised as well as options, whether or not vested, that are subject to time-vesting criteria but have the same exercise price and expiration date as the options reported herein as acquired.
