He received a BS in Accounting from New York University in 1965. Mr. Landis was initially appointed to the Board of Directors pursuant to a directorship agreement in connection with our 1998 acquisition of a portfolio of properties in New Jersey. We agreed that the Board of Directors would nominate Mr. Landis for re-election as a director at each annual meeting of stockholders in a year in which his term expired, provided that, among other things, Mr. Landis (together with parties related to him) continues to beneficially own at least one percent of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of common stock of Boston Properties and units of partnership interest in Boston Properties Limited Partnership. Additionally, Mr. Landis must comply with the policies of our Board of Directors and attend a certain number of the meetings of our Board of Directors. In connection with the October 2004 modifications to the agreements entered into with Mr. Landis in 1998, Mr. Landis has agreed to resign from the Board of Directors effective as of immediately prior to the 2005 annual meeting and has agreed that the Company has no future obligation to nominate Mr. Landis as a director. Mr. Landis' brother, Mitchell S. Landis, serves as Senior Vice President and Manager of our Princeton office.
