Subject to the terms of the Company's 2003 Incentive Plan and the stock unit award agreement evidencing each such award, each stock unit award provides the recipient with the right to receive one share of common stock of the Company.

The stock unit awards listed in columns "A," "B" and "C" above are subject to
(i) time-based and continuous employment vesting requirements and (ii) the
Company meeting certain financial performance objectives, described below (the
"Performance Objectives"). The Compensation Committee shall determine whether
and to what extent any of the Performance Objectives have been achieved by the
Company. Such determination is currently expected to take place in February or
March 2010. Assuming achievement of any of the Performance Objectives,
one-third of the applicable awards shall vest on the first anniversary of such
determination by the Compensation Committee (i.e., they are expected to vest in
February or March 2011), one-third of the applicable awards shall vest on the
second anniversary of such determination (i.e., they are expected to vest in
February or March 2012) and one-third of the applicable awards shall vest on the
third anniversary of such determination (i.e., they are expected to vest in
February or March 2013), provided that the recipient remains continuously
employed by the Company through each such vesting date.
The Performance Objectives are based on the Company's operating income for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 2009, relative to specified operating income target amounts established by the Compensation Committee. If the Company achieves the "threshold" operating income, then all of the stock unit awards listed in column "A" above will be eligible to become vested, subject to the time-based vesting and continuous employment requirements described above. If the Company achieves the "target" operating income, then all of the stock unit
awards listed in column "B" above (in addition to the stock unit awards listed in column "A" above) will be eligible to become vested, subject to the time-based vesting and continuous employment requirements described above. To the extent the Company achieves in excess of the "target" operating income, stock unit awards listed in column "C" above (in addition to the stock unit awards listed in columns "A" and "B" above) will be eligible to become vested, subject to the time-based vesting and continuous employment requirements described above, based on a straight-line interpolation of the "target" operating income established by the Compensation Committee in increments of 20% of such stock unit awards, up to the maximum amount listed in column "C" above, which represents "exceptional" operating income, as established by the Compensation Committee.
Any unvested stock unit awards shall terminate upon the cessation of a recipient's employment with the Company. In the event of a change in control of the Company (as defined in the stock unit award agreement evidencing the award) at any time following the completion of the Company's 2009 fiscal year, provided that the recipient has been continuously employed by the Company through the date immediately prior to the effective date of such Change of Control, then subject to achievement of any of the Performance Objectives, the applicable stock unit awards listed in each of columns "A," "B" and "C" above, to the extent not already vested, shall become fully vested immediately prior to the effective date of such change in control.
The above description of the stock unit awards is qualified in its entirety by reference to the text of the stock unit award agreement evidencing such awards, a copy of the form of which is attached as Exhibit 10.50 and is incorporated herein in its entirety by this reference.
Chief Executive Officer's Corporate Financial Goal Bonus
Also at its February 24, 2009 meeting, the Compensation Committee approved a cash bonus award to Mr. Bailly. This award was made under and pursuant to the 2003 Incentive Plan. The amount of the cash bonus award is based on the Company's achievement of a specified operating income target for 2009 established by the Compensation Committee. The target amount of the cash bonus award is $141,750. The actual amount of the cash bonus award, if any, will be subject to increase or decrease relative to the difference between the 2009 operating income target established by the Compensation Committee and the Company's actual 2009 operating income, according to a formula established by the Compensation Committee. The maximum amount that may be awarded is $315,000. If the Company's actual 2009 operating income is less than 80% of the 2009 operating income target established by the Compensation Committee, the cash bonus award will be zero. In connection with this award, the Compensation Committee also approved the grant to Mr. Bailly of the right to elect to take up to 50% of such cash bonus award, if any, in the form of common stock of the Company.
Chief Executive Officer's Individual Goal Cash Bonus
Also at its February 24, 2009 meeting, the Compensation Committee approved the terms of a discretionary cash bonus plan for Mr. R. Jeffrey Bailly. Under the cash bonus plan, Mr. Bailly shall be entitled to receive an amount of up to $47,250 in cash, based on his achievement during 2009 of individual performance criteria established by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee retained sole discretion over all matters relating to the potential cash bonus payment, including, without limitation, the decision to pay any bonus, the amount of the bonus, if any, up to the $47,250 maximum amount, and the ability to make changes to any performance measures or targets.
