The award vests on January 1, 2009, for a percentage (0% to 150%) of the performance shares awarded based, in part, upon the Issuer's total shareholder return compared to the total shareholder return of a selected peer group and, in part, on the Issuer's generation of aggregate net cash flow from operations, as compared to pre-determined targets. Performance shares are payable one-half in cash and one-half in shares of the Issuer's Common Stock. The amount set forth in Column 5 represents the one-half portion of the award payable in shares of the Issuer's common stock as if a target level of 100% were achieved.  The ultimate payout of shares will be based on the actual target level achieved and can range from 0 to 150% of this amount.</footnote>
