In addition to routine management transition costs, the Company implemented a
reduction-in-force during the third quarter of 2009 in which 35 positions were
eliminated, mostly in corporate support areas. Severance and related costs associated
with the reduction-in-force were approximately $900,000, and this action is expected
to reduce future general and administrative costs by approximately $2.6 million
annually.
