Pursuant to the Restricted Stock Agreement incorporated by reference into this Form 8-K/A as Exhibit 10.1, Mr. Martin's restricted shares were subject to accelerated vesting upon the achievement of certain additional performance goals set by the Committee. These additional performance goals included specific criteria related to the development of the senior leadership pool and achievement of 2004/2005 and 2005/2006 organic growth and EBIT targets. On February 13, 2006, the Committee determined that the income from continuing operations performance criteria and the leadership development criteria and a portion of the 2004/2005 organic growth and EBIT targets were achieved. As a result of this determination, at its February 13, 2006 meeting, the Board of Directors released the restrictions on 12,825 shares of Mr. Martin's restricted stock. All or a portion of the remaining 7,175 shares of restricted stock are subject to accelerated vesting based on achievement of 2005/2006 organic growth and EBIT targets. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
