Time vesting restricted stock units. The time vesting restricted stock units listed above vest in three equal installments over a three-year vesting schedule.

 

Time vesting stock options. The time vesting stock options listed above are exercisable at $11.21 per share, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of the grant. They will expire at the earlier of ten years from the date of grant or three months following the executive’s termination from employment with the Company, and vest in three equal installments over a three-year vesting schedule.

 

Dollar-denominated performance vesting restricted stock units. The dollar-denominated performance vesting restricted stock units (“PSUs”) are subject to two performance measures: 50% of the PSUs will have an EPS measure, and 50% of the PSUs will have a measure based on total shareholder return relative to the Company’s peer group. The PSUs have a three-year performance period and will be eligible to vest at the end of the three-year performance period. Depending on the Company’s performance in relation to the established performance measures, the awards may vest at 0-200% of the targeted amount. The PSUs are a dollar-denominated award. The target award amount of PSUs reflected in the above table is merely nominal, being based on the dollar amount specified in the award agreement divided by $11.21, the closing price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. The dollar amount of the target award is also provided in the table above. In the event the Company achieves the necessary performance metrics, the value of the grant will be determined in dollars and settled in stock, so that the actual number of shares awarded will be based on the market price of the Company’s common stock at the end of the performance period.

 

The forgoing description of the 2012 award agreements does not purport to be complete, is intended only as a summary, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the complete text of the agreements filed herewith and incorporated herein by reference.
