        <footnote id="F1">On June 11, 2007, each of the Company's non-employee directors received a grant of 4,000 deferred stock units (DSUs) under the Company's 2005 Equity Incentive Plan.  Each DSU represents a right to receive one share of Cameron common stock at the end of the deferred period.  The grant vests in four equal quarterly increments on August 9, 2007, November 9, 2007,  February 9, 2008, and May 9, 2008. The deferral period runs through May 9, 2010 unless further deferred by the recipient, or upon termination of board service, whichever date is the first to occur.</footnote>
