The 2007 Annual Incentive Plan (2007 Annual Plan) authorizes the Executive Compensation Committee (the Committee) to establish specific performance goals associated with annual cash awards that may be earned by officers, executives and other key employees. Cash awards under the 2007 Annual Plan are determined based on the Company’s actual financial and operating results as measured against the performance goals established by the Committee. The 2007 Long-Term Incentive Plan (2007 Long-Term Plan) authorizes the Committee to make grants of the Company’s Common Stock to employees. These grants may be in the form of stock options (nonqualified or incentive), stock appreciation rights (SAR), restricted stock, restricted stock units, performance units, performance shares, dividend equivalents and other stock-based incentives. The 2007 Long-Term Plan expires in 2017. A total of 6,700,000 shares are issuable during the life of the 2007 Long-Term Plan, with annual grants limited to 1% of Common shares outstanding; allowed shares not granted may be granted in future years. The Company also has a Stock Plan for Non-Employee Directors (Directors Plan) that permits the issuance of restricted stock, restricted stock units and stock options or a combination thereof to the Company’s Non-Employee Directors.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The Company generally expects to issue new shares to satisfy future stock option exercises and vesting of restricted stock and restricted stock units.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font size="1"> </font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Amounts recognized in the financial statements with respect to share-based plans are as follows.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 0px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px; FONT-SIZE: 12px">  </p> <table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" width="84%" align="center"> <tr> <td width="76%"></td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"></td> <td></td> <td></td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"></td> <td></td> <td valign="bottom" width="3%"></td> <td></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="bottom" nowrap="nowrap"> <p style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid; WIDTH: 75pt"> <font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"><b><i>(Thousands of dollars)</i></b></font></p> </td> <td valign="bottom"><font size="1">  </font></td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" colspan="2" align="center"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"><b>2009</b></font></td> <td valign="bottom"><font size="1">  </font></td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" align="center"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"><b>2008</b></font></td> <td valign="bottom"><font size="1">  </font></td> <td style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #000000 1px solid" valign="bottom" align="center"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="1"><b>2007</b></font></td> </tr> <tr bgcolor="#CCEEFF"> <td valign="top"> <p style="TEXT-INDENT: -1em; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Compensation charged against income before income tax benefit</font></p> </td> <td valign="bottom"><font size="1">  </font></td> <td valign="bottom"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"><b>$</b></font></td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"><b>28,618</b></font></td> <td valign="bottom"><font size="1">  </font></td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">25,656</font></td> <td valign="bottom"><font size="1">  </font></td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">22,241</font></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top"> <p style="TEXT-INDENT: -1em; MARGIN-LEFT: 1em"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">Related income tax benefit recognized in income</font></p> </td> <td valign="bottom"><font size="1">  </font></td> <td valign="bottom"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"><b> </b></font></td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2"><b>7,860</b></font></td> <td valign="bottom"><font size="1">  </font></td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">8,628</font></td> <td valign="bottom"><font size="1">  </font></td> <td valign="bottom" align="right"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">7,778</font></td> </tr> </table> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">As of December 31, 2009, there was $30,507,000 in compensation costs to be expensed over approximately the next two years related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted by the Company. Cash received from options exercised under all share-based payment arrangements for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007 was $12,746,000, $29,687,000 and $41,624,000, respectively. Total income tax benefits realized from tax deductions related to stock option exercises under share-based payment arrangements were $6,035,000, $23,964,000 and $33,895,000 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">STOCK OPTIONS – The Committee fixes the option price of each option granted at no less than fair market value (FMV) on the date of the grant and fixes the option term at no more than 10 years from such date. Each option granted to date under the 2007 Long-Term Plan has had a term of seven years, has been nonqualified, and has had an option price equal to FMV at date of grant. Under the 2007 Long-Term Plan, one-half of each grant is exercisable after two years and the remainder after three years. Under the Directors Plan, one-third of each grant is exercisable after each of the first three years.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">The fair value of each option award is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes pricing model using the assumptions noted in the following table. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s stock and implied volatility on publicly traded at-the-money options on the Company’s stock. The Company uses historical data to estimate option exercise patterns within the valuation model. The expected term of the options granted is derived from historical behavior and considers certain groups of employees exhibiting different behavior.

Restricted stock units were granted in each of the last three years under the 2007 Long-Term Plan. Each grant will vest if the Company achieves specific performance objectives at the end of the designated performance period. Additional shares may be awarded if performance objectives are exceeded. If performance goals are not met, shares under performance-based grants will not vest, but recognized compensation cost associated with the stock award would not be reversed. The performance conditions generally include a measure of the Company’s total shareholder return over the performance period compared to an industry peer group of companies. During the performance period, shares are subject to transfer restrictions and are subject to forfeiture if a grantee terminates for reasons other than retirement, disability or death. Termination for these three reasons will lead to a pro rata award of amounts earned. No dividends are paid or voting rights exist on awards of restricted stock units.

Each quarter, an eligible employee may elect to withhold up to 10% of his or her salary to purchase shares of the Company’s stock at the end of the quarter at a price equal to 90% of the fair value of the stock as of the first day of the quarter. The ESPP will terminate on the earlier of the date that employees have purchased all 980,000 authorized shares or June 30, 2017. Employee stock purchases under the ESPP were 51,271 shares at an average price of $44.73 per share in 2009, 20,715 shares at $73.94 per share in 2008, and 30,011 shares at $52.68 per share in 2007. At December 31, 2009, 399,208 shares remained available for sale under the ESPP. Compensation costs related to the ESPP are estimated based on the value of the 10% discount and the fair value of the option that provides for the refund of participant withholdings, and such expenses were $623,000 in 2009, $401,000 in 2008 and $253,000 in 2007. The fair value per share issued under the ESPP was approximately $11.47, $13.03 and $8.32 for the years ended December 31, 2009, 2008 and 2007, respectively.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">SAVINGS-RELATED SHARE OPTION PLAN (SOP) – One of the Company’s U.K. subsidiaries provides a plan that allows shares of the Company’s Common stock to be purchased by eligible employees using payroll withholdings. An eligible employee may elect to withhold from £5 to £250 per month to purchase shares of Company stock at a price equal to 90% of the fair value of the stock as of the date of grant. The SOP plan has a term of three years and employee withholdings are fixed over the life of the plan. At the end of the term of the SOP plan an employee receives interest on withholdings and has six months to either use all or part of the withholdings plus credited interest to purchase shares of Company stock or receive a repayment of withholdings plus credited interest. Compensation costs related to the SOP plan are estimated based on the value of the 10% discount and the fair value of the option that allows the employee to receive a repayment of withholdings plus credited interest. The fair value per share of the SOP plans with holding periods ending in May 2007, December 2009 and August 2010 were determined to be $11.64, $19.57 and $19.90, respectively.</font></p> <p style="MARGIN-TOP: 12px; MARGIN-BOTTOM: 0px"><font style="FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman" size="2">CASH AWARDS – The Committee also administers the Company’s incentive compensation plans, which provide for annual or periodic cash awards to officers, directors and key employees.
