The Compensation Committee also approved the form of RSU agreements and stock option agreements to be used in connection with RSU grants and stock option grants to executive officers pursuant to the Corporation's Executive Long Term Stock Program ("ELTSOP Awards"). Standard Awards and ELTSOP Awards are incentive and retention awards made pursuant to the Corporation's stockholder-approved 2006 Equity Incentive Plan (the "2006 Plan"). There is no material relationship between the Corporation and recipients of ELTSOP Awards, other than in respect of their employment with the Corporation. The forms of Standard Awards for U.S and non-U.S. employees set forth the terms and conditions of RSUs and stock options granted pursuant to the 2006 Plan and the Corporation's standard RSU and stock option programs. The forms of ELTSOP Awards for U.S. and non-U.S. employees set forth the terms and conditions of RSUs and stock options granted pursuant to the 2006 Plan and the Corporation's ELTSOP RSU and stock option programs. The following description is qualified by reference to the terms of the forms of RSU agreements and stock option agreements (for Standard Awards and ELTSOP Awards) and the Notice of Grant, copies of which are filed with this Form 8- K, and to the terms of the 2006 Plan, a copy of which was filed as exhibit 10.1 to the Corporation's Form 8-K dated May 22, 2006. Standard Awards and ELTSOP Awards of RSUs and stock options are subject to administration and interpretation by the committee of the Board of Directors designated pursuant to the plan, or by its delegate. Unvested Standard Awards and ELTSOP Awards are cancelled as of the date of employment termination as set forth in the form of RSU and stock option agreements. Vested stock options expire after employment termination as set forth in the form of stock option agreements. Standard Awards typically vest 25% annually beginning one year after the date of grant and ELTSOP Awards typically vest 100% five years after the date of grant, subject to accelerated vesting upon death and Disablement. Standard Awards, but not ELTSOP Awards, are also subject to accelerated vesting upon Retirement. If employment is terminated due to misconduct, Standard Awards and ELTSOP Awards will be cancelled, such that RSUs will not convert to shares of common stock and stock options will not be exercisable. Until shares are issued for vested RSUs or exercised stock options, Standard Awards and ELTSOP Awards do not provide recipients any rights of a stockholder and do not accrue dividend equivalent rights. Standard and ELTSOP Awards of RSUs are not transferable. Standard and ELTSOP Awards of stock options are transferable at death by will or the laws of descent and distribution or by gift to the permitted transferees identified in the stock option agreement. Where applicable, the Corporation uses country- specific RSU and stock option agreements to comply with local laws. Item 9.01 Financial Statements and Exhibits. (d) Exhibits.
