4-Nov-2009

Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Financial Statements and Exhib


Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On November 2, 2009 we announced the appointment of Thomas P. Sullivan and Jeffrey T. Pero to our board of directors, effective December 1, 2009. Mr. Sullivan will serve on the real estate and audit committees; Mr. Pero will serve on the audit and nominating and governance committees. The appointment of two new directors, which increases the board size to 12 members, is part of an ongoing succession plan, implemented as current members near retirement age.

Latham & Watkins LLP, where Mr. Pero served as a partner for more than 23 years until his retirement in October 2009, provides legal services to the Company. Mr. Pero's retirement payments from Latham & Watkins LLP are adjusted to exclude any proportionate benefit received from the fees paid by the Company to Latham & Watkins LLP.

As directors, both Mr. Sullivan and Mr. Pero are eligible to participate in the company's Fifth Amended and Restated Non-Employee Director Stock Option and Restricted Stock Plan, under which they are entitled to automatic annual grants of restricted stock in May of each year. The number of restricted shares awarded to each can be calculated by dividing $91,000 by the per share fair market value of the company's common stock on such date. Mr. Sullivan's and Mr. Pero's initial grants are expected to be approved at a meeting of the compensation committee of the board of directors to be held in December 2009 and will include a prorated award for the December 2009 through May 2010 and the annual award for the June 2009 to May 2010 service periods.

A copy of the press release is filed as Exhibit 99.3 to this Form 8-K.
