award and the grants generally vest over a three-year period subsequent to the
Board's approval. The aforementioned program is described in greater detail in
the Authorization, Terms and Conditions of Other Performance Awards attached
hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and hereby incorporated herein by reference.
