As previously described in the proxy statement for the Company's 2007 annual meeting filed with the SEC on Schedule 14A on April 10, 2007, on February 27, 2006, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Directors awarded the reporting person 324,000 performance based restricted stock units. Pursuant to the time-based vesting criteria applicable to these awards, 100% of these restricted stock units vest (with the underlying shares delivered to the reporting person) upon the sixth anniversary of the grant date. The reporting person does not vest in any of the restricted stock units, however, unless the performance criteria applicable to the award have been satisfied. This Form 4 is being filed in connection with the determination by the Compensation Committee that the performance criteria of the award have been achieved. James F. O'Reilly, attorney-in-fact for H.
