We have established equity award procedures to develop a consistent practice with respect to the granting of
equity-based awards. Under these procedures, the Board, with respect to equity awards to non-executive directors,
and the Compensation Committee, with respect to employee awards, may grant equity awards at its first regularlyscheduled
meeting in each calendar year (or at any special meeting, so long as this special meeting occurs on or
before March 2 of each calendar year), and the effective date of these equity awards will be March 2 (or if not a
NYSE trading day, the first NYSE trading day after March 2). The Compensation Committee may also make equity
awards to new hires, employees receiving promotions, employees receiving retention grants and persons becoming
employees as a result of an acquisition at any regularly scheduled meeting or at any special meeting called for that
purpose. The Board may also make equity awards to persons who become new directors at any regularly scheduled
meeting or at any special meeting called for that purpose. The Special Award Committee may make awards to
employees at any time, but the effective date of such awards is the first business day of the next succeeding month
after the Special Award Committee selects employees for awards. Awards by the Special Award Committee are also
governed by the limitations established by the Compensation Committee.
On February 10, 2009, our Board formed a Special Award Committee with our CEO, so long as he remains on
our Board, named as the sole member. The Special Award Committee has the authority to make equity awards to
employees (other than members of our executive leadership team) under our Omnibus Stock Incentive Plan of 2009
in accordance with limitations as may, from time to time, be established by the Compensation Committee. The
Compensation Committee has set forth the following limitations for the Special Award Committee: (i) awards may
be made to employees, other than members of the executive leadership team, (ii) awards may be made to new hires,
for retention purposes, promotions, in connection with employee relationship issues, or in the discretion of the
Special Award Committee for exceptional performance, (iii) awards are limited to the aggregate of $2 million each
calendar year, (iv) awards shall not exceed $100,000 to any one individual, and (v) awards must be granted at the
closing market price on the effective date of the award. The Special Award Committee reports to the Compensation
Committee at each regularly scheduled meeting on the awards it has made under this limited authority since its last
report. For a description of the equity award procedures that apply to the Special Award Committee, see
“Compensation Discussion and Analysis — Long-Term Incentive Awards — Equity Award Procedures”
