Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) On March 3, 2010, Infinera Corporation (the “Company”) received notification that Reed Hundt will not stand for re-election as a member of the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of the Company at the upcoming annual meeting of stockholders. Mr. Hundt indicated that his stepping down from the Company’s Board will permit him to devote additional time to fulfilling other business interests and responsibilities. Mr. Hundt is a member of the Board’s nominating and governance committee and is the chairman of the Board’s compensation committee. The Company does not believe that Mr. Hundt’s decision was caused by any disagreement with the Company on any matter relating to the Company’s operations, policies or practices.

The Company is appreciative of Mr. Hundt’s three years of service on the Board and intends to enter into a consulting agreement with Mr. Hundt which will become effective upon his completion of service as a member of the Board.
