The PSUs are earned by acheiving a target level of performance measured by normalized earnings per share targets during a three-year performance period beginning on March 21, 2007 and ending on December 31, 2009. Awards can range from 50% of the PSUs if a threshold is met up to a maximum of 250% of the PSUs if performance exceeds specified levels. The amount reported above reflects the target amount of PSUs.</footnote>
