competitive compensation levels to enable the recruitment and retention of
highly qualified executives.

Design

Align
the interests of executives with those of shareholders through grants of
equity-based compensation that also provide opportunities for ongoing
executive ownership.
|
·
|
Going
forward, the Company plans to deliver a greater proportion of total
compensation through variable elements. While the Committee has not
adopted a targeted mix of either long-term to short-term, fixed to
variable, or equity and non-equity compensation, they have taken steps to
increase the portion of variable compensation. Initial steps in
this direction include a grant of performance-based restricted stock units
to the Named Executives (other than the CEO) on May 9, 2008. An additional
step was the elimination of the CEO’s guaranteed
bonus.
