Payments/(Forfeitures) Under Termination Scenarios

The tables below show the amounts that would be received or forfeited by each specified executive officer under various termination scenarios, assuming (i) that the termination occurred on December 31, 2008 and (ii) that amounts that have been paid or are payable in all events, such as the non-equity incentive amounts and the stock portions of the LTIP earned with respect to fiscal year 2008 and disclosed in the Stock Award and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation columns of the Summary Compensation Table on page 33, the amounts payable under the pension plans discussed beginning on page 38, and the amounts in the nonqualified deferred compensation plans discussed beginning on page 40, are not included in the tables below, nor is any amount for stock options that are vested and exercisable as of December 31, 2008.

With respect to the tables below:

 

  n Messrs. Ryan, Rickard, Bodine, McLure, Merlo, and Sgarro are not retirement eligible as of December 31, 2008.

 

  n The amounts paid as base salary upon Voluntary Termination reflect the Company’s option to continue to pay 50% of the executive’s salary for 18 months in consideration for compliance with a non-compete provision.

 

  n The Option Value is determined by multiplying the number of unvested options outstanding as of December 31, 2008 by the difference between the exercise price and the closing price on December 31, 2008 ($28.74), the last trading day of the Company’s fiscal year. Generally, the grant agreements provide for the following post-termination exercise periods, but in no case will the post-termination exercise period be longer than the original option term:

 

  n In the case of termination due to death, during the one-year period following termination

 

  n In the case of constructive termination without cause prior to a change in control, during the severance period

 

  n In the case of constructive termination without cause after a change in control, during the remainder of the option term

 

  n In the cases of termination for cause or voluntary termination, generally there is no post-termination exercise period, except in the case of voluntary termination, options granted prior to December 31, 2005 may be exercised for a period of 90 days following termination.

  n The value of the restricted stock units is determined by multiplying the number of restricted stock units as of December 31, 2008 by the closing price on that date ($28.74), which was the last trading day of the Company’s fiscal year.

 

  n Upon a Change in Control of the Company, all outstanding unvested stock options will vest in full and restrictions will lapse on all restricted stock units, as provided in the Company’s 1997 ICP.

 

  n The Value of LTIP Cycles assumes pro rated payments are made for outstanding Long-Term Incentive Plan Cycle VI (two-thirds; years 2007 – 2009) and Cycle VII (one-third; years 2008 – 2010).

 

  n Additional assumptions for the Excise Tax Gross-Up Calculation are as follows:

 

  n Marginal federal, Rhode Island and FICA tax rates of 35%, 7% and 1.45%, respectively.

 

  n December 2008 short-, mid- and long-term AFR of 1.63%, 3.40% and 5.28%, respectively.

 

  n Stock options are rolled over into acquirer options and are valued in accordance with revenue procedure 2003-68 and Q & A 24(c) of IRC 280G. This calculation is an estimate for proxy disclosure only.

 

  n Payments on a change in control may differ based on factors such as transaction price, timing of employment termination and payments, methodology for valuing stock options, changes in compensation and reasonable compensation analyses.

In the event of a covered termination prior to a change in control of the Company, Mr. Ryan would receive a cash severance payment equal to three times the sum of his annual base salary plus his current annual cash incentive at target. In the event of his covered termination following a change in control, he would receive a cash severance payment equal to three times the sum of his annual base salary plus the greater of the average of the last three years’ annual bonuses or his target bonus.

The value of the restricted stock units for Mr. Ryan also includes the value of a special one-time award of 400,000 restricted stock unit retention award granted in August 2005.

Under the terms of his Retention Agreement, Mr. Ryan would immediately vest in any additional credited service he has earned in excess of 30 years for purposes of his SERP benefit in the case of his termination due to death or constructive termination without cause. The figure shown is the present value of the incremental annuity benefit that is attributable to the additional service that would be earned pursuant to his Retention Agreement, based on the SERP benefit assumptions.

Payments/(Forfeitures) Under Termination Scenarios

The tables below show the amounts that would be received or forfeited by each specified executive officer under various termination scenarios, assuming (i) that the termination occurred on December 29, 2007 and (ii) that amounts that have been paid or are payable in all events, such as the non-equity incentive amounts and the stock portions of the LTIP earned with respect to fiscal year 2007 and disclosed in the Stock Award and Non-Equity Incentive Plan Compensation columns of the Summary Compensation Table on page 34, the amounts in the nonqualified deferred compensation plans discussed beginning on page 43 and the amounts payable under the pension plans discussed beginning on page 41, are not included in the tables below, nor is any amount for stock options that are vested and exercisable as of December 29, 2007.

With respect to the tables below:

 

  n Messrs. Ryan, Rickard, Bodine, McLure, Merlo, and Sgarro are not retirement eligible as of December 29, 2007.

 

  n The amounts paid as base salary upon Voluntary Termination reflect the Company’s option to continue to pay 50% of the executive’s salary for 18 months in consideration for compliance with a non-compete provision.

  n The Option Value is determined by multiplying the number of unvested options outstanding as of December 29, 2007 by the difference between the exercise price and the closing price on December 28, 2007 ($40.00), the last trading day of the Company’s fiscal year. Generally, the grant agreements provide for the following post-termination exercise periods, but in no case will the post-termination exercise period be longer than the original option term:

 

  n In the case of termination due to death, during the one-year period following termination

 

  n In the case of constructive termination without cause prior to a change in control, during the severance period

 

  n In the case of constructive termination without cause after a change in control, during the remainder of the option term

  n Other than Mr. Ryan, an executive will be paid a benefit under the SERP based on an assumed 30 years of credited service with the Company if he is terminated following a change in control. His termination benefit will be paid as a lump sum following the change in control unless he has elected an annuity benefit prior to the change in control. The amounts shown the tables for “termination without cause post-change in control” represents the lump sum value of the incremental benefit attributable to the additional credited service granted due to the change in control, based on the plan’s assumptions.

 

  n The Value of LTIP Cycles assumes pro rated payments are made for outstanding Long-Term Incentive Plan Cycle V (two-thirds; years 2006 – 2008) and Cycle VI (one-third; years 2007 – 2009).

 

  n Additional assumptions for the Excise Tax Gross-Up Calculation are as follows:

 

  n Marginal federal, Rhode Island and FICA tax rates of 35%, 8% and 1.45%, respectively

 

  n December 2007 short-, mid- and long-term AFR of 4.61%, 4.91% and 5.60%, respectively

 

  n Stock options are rolled over into acquirer options and are valued in accordance with revenue procedure 2003-68 and Q & A 24(c) of IRC 280G. This calculation is an estimate for proxy disclosure only. Payments on a change in control may differ based on factors such as transaction price, timing of employment termination and payments, methodology for valuing stock options, changes in compensation and reasonable compensation analyses.

In the event of his covered termination following a change in control, he would receive a cash severance payment equal to three times the sum of his annual base salary plus the greater of the average of the last three years’ annual bonuses or his target bonus.
