(1) This is a performance-based award. The vesting of these options will be determined based on the price of the issuer's common stock, as measured by the average per-share closing price over a period of 20 consecutive trading days (the "average stock price"), attaining specified levels of appreciation over the per-share closing stock price on the date of grant, or $10.77 (the "grant date stock price"), according to the following schedule: 25% of these options will vest when the average stock price equals or exceeds $16.16 (150% of the grant date stock price); 25% of these options will vest when the average stock price equals or exceeds $18.85 (175% of the grant date stock price); 25% of these options will vest when the average stock price equals or exceeds $21.54 (200% of the grant date stock price); and 25% of these options will vest when the average stock price equals or exceeds $24.23 (225% of the grant date stock price).
(2) This is a performance-based award. The vesting of these options will be determined based on the issuer's annual return on equity percentage, on a non-GAAP basis, (the "Annual ROE Percentage"), as compared with the issuer's annual return on equity percentage for its 2008 fiscal year (the "2008 ROE Percentage") according to the following schedule: 20% of these options will vest when the Annual ROE Percentage is equal to or greater than two percentage points more than the 2008 ROE Percentage; 20% of these options will vest when the Annual ROE Percentage is equal to or greater than four percentage points more than the 2008 ROE Percentage; 20% of these options will vest when the Annual ROE Percentage is equal to or greater than six percentage points more than the 2008 ROE Percentage; (Continued to footnote 3)
(3) 20% of these options will vest when the Annual ROE Percentage is equal to or greater than eight percentage points more than the 2008 ROE Percentage; and 20% of these options will vest when the Annual ROE Percentage is equal to or greater than ten percentage points more than the 2008 ROE Percentage.
(4) These options will vest and become exercisable with respect to 25% of the award on the first anniversary of the date of grant and thereafter with respect to an additional 2.5% of the award each month, with full vesting in 42 months.
(5) Each restricted stock unit represents a contingent right to receive one share of the issuer's common stock.
(6) The restricted stock unit award will vest with respect to one-third of the award on the first, second and third anniversaries of the date of grant.
