The 2009 Registration Statement registers 600,000 new shares of the Registrant's common stock, par value $1.00 per share ("Common Stock"), in connection with the 2009 Plan. As a result of the adoption of the 2009 Plan, no new awards will be made under the 2007 Plan after April 20, 2009. In addition, all shares of Common Stock registered pursuant to the 2007 Plan Registration Statement but not issued or otherwise allocated to outstanding awards under the 2007 Plan will not be available for offer and sale under the 2007 Registration Statement after the effective date of this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 and are hereby deregistered. Further, all shares subject to outstanding awards under the 2007 Plan that expire, are forfeited or are otherwise terminated without delivery of any Common Stock subject thereto after April 20, 2009, the effective date of the 2009 Plan (the "Outstanding Award Shares"), will also be automatically deregistered upon such expiration, forfeiture or termination. The 2007 Plan Registration Statement will remain in effect to cover the potential issuance of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the awards to which the Outstanding Award Shares are subject. Accordingly, upon the expiration, forfeiture or termination of the subject awards, the Outstanding Award Shares will be deregistered automatically from the 2007 Plan Registration Statement and will not be available for offer or sale under the 2007 Registration Statement thereafter. Under the terms of the 2009 Plan, such Outstanding Award Shares will become available for issuance under the 2009 Plan.
