Change in Directors or Principal Officers
Restricted Stock Units
On October 2, 2008, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of
Directors approved grants under the Company's Equity and Incentive Plan of
50,000 time-vested restricted stock units ("RSUs") each to Jeffrey L. Keefer,
Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer and Thomas M. Connelly,
Jr., Executive Vice President and Chief Innovation Officer. The RSUs are
designed to encourage the retention of these key executives by recognizing their
strong current and future contributions to the Company. The RSUs will vest
(assuming continued employment) as follows: (1) fifty percent (50%) of the units
(including dividend equivalent units) will vest on October 2, 2010; and
(2) fifty percent (50%) of the units (including dividend equivalent units) will
vest on October 2, 2011.
If the grantee's employment with the Company terminates due to total and
permanent disability or death, all of the unvested RSUs will vest, provided the
grantee has been employed by the Company for six months following the grant
date. If the grantee's employment with the Company terminates for any other
reason, including, but not limited to, resignation or retirement, prior to
October 2, 2011, all of the unvested RSUs (including dividend equivalent units)
will be forfeited.
Except to the extent set forth above, the award terms of the RSUs are materially
consistent with the award terms on file with the Securities and Exchange
Commission as Exhibit 10.13 to the Company's Form 10-Q Quarterly Report pursuant
to Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 for the quarterly
period ended March 31, 2008.

retirement, pursuant to which he shall be paid a $200,000 annual retainer plus a
$2,000 per diem payment when actively involved in litigation support and
business projects on behalf of the Company. The agreement with Mr. Goodmanson
will contain customary provisions, including a restriction on his ability to
take on any work that may create a conflict of interest, protection of
confidential information and reimbursement of all expenses associated with his
performance under the agreement.
