Restricted Stock Units

Upon vesting, each restricted stock unit entitles the holder to one share of our common stock. Compensation expense related to restricted stock unit grants is based upon the market price on the date of grant and is charged to earnings on a graded amortization basis over the applicable vesting period. Restricted stock units currently granted generally vest ratably over a four year period.

Stock-based compensation costs for all RSU awards (including liability awards) for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 were $9.7 million, $8.1 million, and $17.2 million, respectively. As of
