Item 5.02.   Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
     On April 27, 2009, the Compensation & Organization Committee (the “Committee”) of the Board of Directors amended the administrative regulations of the Long-Term Incentive Compensation Program (the “Program”) under the 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the “Plan”), approved by the Corporation’s shareholders on April 26, 2005. The most notable amendment provides that all future grants under the Program will require, in connection with a change of control, a termination in order to trigger an accelerated vesting of the award (that is, future grants will require a “double trigger”). Additionally, the Committee approved a new provision removing the Committee’s negative discretion in the event of a change of control and applied it to outstanding performance awards. The Committee also approved new grant form agreements conforming to the revised administrative regulations.
     The administrative regulations and forms of the agreements are filed herewith as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.5.
