The performance stock units generally vest at the end of the three-year performance period from January 1, 2007 to December 31, 2009 (the “Performance Period”) in amounts from 0% to 200% of the target units depending on the Company’s performance relative to two performance metrics during the Performance Period. The performance metrics, which are equally weighted, are: (i) the cumulative diluted earnings per share of the Company during the Performance Period, and (ii) the relative total shareholder return of the Company’s common stock compared to the SPADE Defense Index during the Performance Period. Upon vesting, one share of common stock of the Company will be issued for each vested performance stock unit. In the event that a change in control (as defined in the Performance Stock Unit Agreements) of the Company occurs, the target performance stock units will be deemed to have become fully vested immediately prior to the consummation of the change in control, provided, however, that the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors may, in its discretion, increase (but not decrease) the number of performance stock units that are deemed to vest in the event of a change in control up to a maximum of 200% of the target performance stock units.
| Item 5.03. | Amendments to Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws; Change in Fiscal Year. |
| (a) | On January 31, 2007, the Bylaws of the Company were amended to increase the number of directors from seven to eight. |
