· No Cash Incentive Compensation Awards for the Year Ended December 31, 2008. The Company's named executive officers were participants in the Company's Senior Management Incentive Compensation Plan for the year ended December 31, 2008 ("2008 Plan"). The Committee reviewed the performance measures established under the 2008 Plan and the level of performance actually achieved by the Company under the 2008 Plan. Based on its review, the Committee determined that participants were not entitled to any award under the 2008 Plan.

· Grants of Restricted Stock. Restricted stock was granted to the following named executive officers. The options were granted pursuant to the terms of the Company's 2006 Stock Ownership Incentive Plan, with an exercise price per share of $29.82 (equal to fair market value on date of grant), a term of 10 years, and vesting in five years. The restrictions on the restricted stock will lapse at the end of five years. However, in the event of a change in control of the Company or the death of the participant, the restrictions will lapse. In the event of the disability of the participant, the restrictions will lapse on a pro rata basis (with respect to 20% of the participant's restricted stock for each year since the date of award). The Committee will have discretion to review and revise restrictions applicable to a participant's restricted stock in the event of the participant's retirement.
