(e) On March 23, 2012, the Compensation Committee awarded performance stock units to the executive officers of the Company in the following target amounts:

Target No. of Performance Stock Units |

| Joseph P. Bellino |
Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer | 8,000 | ||||
| James S. Heiser |
Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary | 8,000 | ||||
| Michael G. Pollack |
Vice President, Sales and Marketing | 4,500 | ||||
| Anthony J. Reardon |

| Rose F. Rogers |
Vice President, Human Resources | 4,500 | ||||
| Samuel D. Williams |
Vice President, Controller and Assistant Treasurer | 4,500 | ||||
The performance stock units generally vest at the end of the three-year performance period from January 1, 2012 to December 31, 2014 (the “Performance Period”) in amounts from 0% to 200% of the target units depending on the Company’s performance relative to two performance metrics for each year of the Performance Period. The performance metrics, which are equally weighted, are: (i) the diluted earnings per share of the Company for each year of the Performance Period (subject to certain adjustments), and (ii) the leverage ratio (as defined in the performance stock unit agreements) of the Company at the end of each year of the Performance Period. Upon vesting, one share of common stock of the Company will be issued for each vested performance stock unit. In the event that a change in control (as defined in the performance stock unit agreements) of the Company occurs, the target performance stock units will be deemed to have become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of the change in control, provided, however, that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, increase (but not decrease) the number of performance stock units that are deemed to vest in the event of a change in control up to a maximum of 200% of the target performance stock units.
