The 2006 LTEIP was described in the Registrant's Proxy Statement for its 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, although at that time no grants or awards had been made under the plan. In general, the options, all of which were granted at fair market value as required under the 2006 LTEIP, will be outstanding for up to ten years from date of grant and will vest (and first become exercisable) ratably over the next three years on each of the succeeding anniversaries of the grant date. The number of performance shares to be earned can range from 0.5x (threshold) to 2.0 x (maximum) of the number of target shares awarded depending on the extent to which the performance measure for the cycle, which is Return on Invested Capital, or ROIC, as defined, is met by the Registrant. Continued service through the cycle is required to earn the award with specified exceptions. The form of Award Agreement pursuant to which the grants and awards are being made is filed as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
