the 80th percentile on a Total Stockholder Return basis as compared to its Peer Group with the Total Stockholder Return being based on the average of the closing prices for the month of December 2008 versus the average of the closing prices for the month of December 2011.
The determination of whether any vesting criteria have been met is to be made by the Committee in a manner consistent with prior practice. Awarded Units that are not vested in accordance with the Agreement are forfeited on the earlier of the date of the participant's termination of service or May 19, 2012.
