MATERIAL TERMS OF PLAN-BASED AWARDS
 
The vesting schedule of all stock options/SARs and restricted stock/restricted stock units awarded to the Named Officers is described under footnotes (c) and (d) to the “Grants of Plan-Based Awards Table” above. In accordance with the terms of our 2008 Plan and 1992 Stock Plan, no dividends or other distributions will be delivered on unvested shares of restricted stock/restricted stock units, but the value of any dividends or distributions declared on our Common Stock will be credited by us to the account of the Named Officer (with no interest) with respect to those unvested shares or units. When a portion of the restricted stock/restricted stock units vests, we will deliver the accumulated dividends or distributions to the respective Named Officer in cash. The value of dividends and distributions are forfeited under the same circumstances that the restricted stock/restricted stock units are forfeited (please refer to “Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Components of Our Compensation Program — Bonus — Restricted Stock/Restricted Stock Units (Equity Incentive)” above for a discussion of such forfeiture). At no time during 2008 were any outstanding awards re-priced or otherwise modified. Moreover, there are no performance-based or market-based conditions applicable to any of the awards described above, except to the extent that restricted stock/restricted stock units are granted as equity incentive compensation under the Executive Officer Annual Bonus Plan.
