On March 25, 2010, the Registrants Board of Directors, upon the recommendation of the Nominating and Board
Governance Committee, elected Elizabeth M. Lee to the Board of Directors to serve as a member of the Class of the
Registrants Board of Directors whose terms expire at the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Upon the recommendation
of the Nominating and Board Governance Committee, the Registrants Board of Directors also named Ms. Lee to serve on
the Registrants Corporate Social Responsibility Committee. Although not required to, Ms. Lee will stand for election
as a nominee at the Registrants 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
Ms. Lee is a nationally recognized educator. She has been the Head of School of Columbus School for Girls in
Columbus, Ohio since June 2009. From 1990 until 2004, Ms. Lee was the Headmistress of The Hockaday School in Dallas,
Texas. Between 2004 and 2009, Ms. Lee served as Interim Head of School of Porter-Gaud School in Charleston, South
Carolina, and Trinity Episcopal School in Austin, Texas. Ms. Lee is past president of the National Association of
Principals of Schools for Girls and the Country Day School Headmasters Association, as well as a former board member of
the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS) and the Educational Records Bureau, among many other
organizations. As a leader in the field of secondary education, Ms. Lee brings valuable insights into the perspectives
of teenage boys and, especially, girls that the Board believes will be extremely beneficial.
The Registrant has determined that Ms. Lee and her immediate family members have not had (and do not propose to
have) a direct or indirect interest in any transaction in which the Registrant or any of the Registrants subsidiaries
was (or is proposed to be) a participant, that would be required to be disclosed under Item 404(a) of SEC
Regulation S-K. The Registrants Board of Directors has also determined that Ms. Lee qualifies as an independent
director for purposes of the applicable sections of the Listed Company Manual of the New York Stock Exchange and the
applicable rules and regulations of the SEC. Ms. Lee, in her capacity as a non-associate director of the Registrant,
will receive the same compensation for 2010 as other non-associate directors of the Registrant.
