(d) On August 19, 2009, the Registrant's Board of Directors appointed Kevin Kilpatrick to the Registrant's Board of Directors as a Class I Director. It is expected that Mr. Kilpatrick will be a nominee for election by shareholders at the Registrant's 2010 annual meeting for a full three-year term. In conjunction with his appointment to the Registrant's Board of Directors, Mr. Kilpatrick will also serve on the Registrant's compensation committee. There are no transactions among the Registrant or any of its subsidiaries and Mr. Kilpatrick or any member of his immediate family that are required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K. As a director, Mr. Kilpatrick will be entitled to participate in the Registrant's non-employee director compensation arrangements, which consist of a fee of $2,500 for each Board meeting personally attended, $1,000 for each committee meeting personally attended and $750 for each telephonic meeting in which he participates. Further, he will be entitled to participate in the Registrant's Amended and Restated 2005 Non-Employee Director Restricted Stock Plan. Under such plan, upon initial election or appointment to the Board, and thereafter annually upon the date of the annual shareholders' meeting, each non-employee director is awarded shares of restricted stock which will vest over a period of three years, one-third on each anniversary of the date of grant, provided that the non-employee director continues to serve on each vesting date. The Board will award 2,576 restricted shares under such plan. All shares of restricted stock granted under such plan will vest in full if the director should die while serving as such. The restricted stock plan was described in the Registrant's definitive proxy statement filed with the SEC on April 24, 2009. A copy of the press release announcing Mr. Kilpatrick's appointment is furnished, but not filed, with the Commission as Exhibit 99.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K.
