C. Stock Ownership Guidelines

We have adopted stock ownership guidelines for our directors and senior executives, including the named executive officers. The target date for compliance with these guidelines is February 2011. The guidelines require that the Chief Executive Officer own shares having a value at least equal to four times his base salary and that the other named executive officers own shares having a value at least equal to two times base salary. In determining whether an executive meets the guidelines, we consider owned shares and restricted stock, but we do not consider stock options. As of the end of 2007, all of the named executive officers met these stock ownership guidelines. In light of the decline in our share price in 2008, however, all of the named executive officers subject to the guidelines at year-end had fallen below the prescribed ownership level. As of March 27, 2009, all of the named executive officers subject to the guidelines were in compliance with the guidelines. When the guidelines were adopted in 2006, executives were given five years, until February 2011, to meet the ownership levels.

We do not permit our executive officers to take short or long positions in our shares; however, we do not otherwise have a formal policy with regard to executive officers hedging their economic interest in Company stock or options. To our knowledge, none of the named executive officers hedged their position in our shares or options during 2008, although some of the named executive officers may hold their shares in accounts that permit margin loans to the executive.

Stock Ownership Guidelines

      The Board of Directors has adopted Stock Ownership Guidelines. These guidelines cover the Board of Directors, the Chief Executive Officer, and Other Principal Officers, as follows:

Board of Directors. Each non-employee director is required to beneficially own shares of our Common Stock having a value of at least three times the annual retainer fee paid to the non-employee directors.

6


Chief Executive Officer. The CEO is required to beneficially own shares of our Common Stock having a value of at least four times his annual base salary.
 
Other Principal Officers. Other Principal Officers of the Company are required to beneficially own shares of our Common Stock having a value of at least two times their individual annual base salaries. The category of Other Principal Officers includes all corporate officers at the senior vice president level or higher and the chief executive officers of the Company's operating divisions.

      For purposes of calculating beneficial ownership, restricted stock, restricted stock units, and deferred stock units are counted towards ownership; stock options are disregarded.

      The target date for full compliance with these guidelines is February 2011, which is five years after the effective date of these guidelines. Non-employee directors who are elected to the Board after February 2006, as well as employees who are elected or appointed after this date to positions covered by these guidelines, must be in compliance within five years after their initial election or appointment.
