  Board also adopted a director resignation policy to be incorporated in the
  Company&#146;s governance guidelines. The policy states that the Board will only
  nominate for election or re-election as a director those candidates who agree
  to tender, promptly following the annual meeting at which they are elected, a
  resignation that will be effective upon (i)&nbsp;the failure of the director to
  receive the required vote at any annual meeting at which they are nominated for
  re-election and (ii)&nbsp;acceptance by the Board of such resignation.&#160; The Governance and Nominating Committee,
  excluding the director whose resignation is under consideration, shall promptly
  consider any such resignation and make a recommendation to the Board as to
  whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation or whether other action
  should be taken.&#160; The Board, excluding
  the director whose resignation is under consideration, will act on the
  Governance and Nominating Committee&#146;s recommendation within ninety days from
  the date of the certification of the election results.&#160; The Board will publicly disclose its decision
  regarding the tendered resignation. This summary does not purport to be

  Director Resignation Policy
  On April 23, 2008, the
  Board also adopted a director resignation policy to be incorporated in the
  Company's governance guidelines. The policy states that the Board will only
  nominate for election or re-election as a director those candidates who agree
  to tender, promptly following the annual meeting at which they are elected, a
  resignation that will be effective upon (i) the failure of the director to
  receive the required vote at any annual meeting at which they are nominated for
  re-election and (ii) acceptance by the Board of such resignation.  The Governance and Nominating Committee,
  excluding the director whose resignation is under consideration, shall promptly
  consider any such resignation and make a recommendation to the Board as to
  whether to accept or reject the tendered resignation or whether other action
  should be taken.  The Board, excluding
  the director whose resignation is under consideration, will act on the
  Governance and Nominating Committee's recommendation within ninety days from
  the date of the certification of the election results.  The Board will publicly disclose its decision
  regarding the tendered resignation. This summary does not purport to be
  complete and is subject to and qualified in its entirety by reference to the
  text of the policy, included as Exhibit 99.1 to this filing. Exhibit 99.1
  is incorporated by reference into this Item 8.01.
  Lead Director
  As
  previously announced,
  Gary G. Michael, who joined the Board in 1997, did
  not stand for re-election in 2008.  Mr. Michael
  served as Chair of the Committee of Outside Directors and Lead Independent
  Director. The Board has appointed Rakesh Gangwal, who joined the Board in 1998,
  to fill Mr. Michael's position as Chair of the Committee of Outside
  Directors and Lead Independent Director.
