At the time of the 2004 Award, the reporting person reported receipt of performance shares representing 112,716 shares of Common Stock which was maximum number of shares payable under the 2004 Award. On February 6, 2007, the performance multiplier for the 2004 Award was determined to be 143% of target, which resulted in an issuance to the reporting person of 80,592 shares of Common Stock.
