Vesting of all units are generally subject to continuing employment for three years after grant date. Upon vesting, time-based units will be converted to an equal number of shares of the Company's common stock; performance based units will be converted to the Company's common stock using a factor ranging from 50% to 200% based upon the level of achievement of the performance thresholds related to the above targets. Performance related units that do not achieve the ROIC or stock price appreciation thresholds will be forfeited on the third anniversary of the grant.
