Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On December 1, 2009, the Company amended its employment agreements with Messrs. Hyland, Leggett, Hart and Torok to reflect that severance benefits will include a cash payment that is a multiple of base salary, rather than a multiple of base salary plus a multiple of target bonus. These amendments do not increase the Company’s severance obligations. In addition, Mr. Hart’s target bonus was increased to 70% of his base salary. The amendments are attached to this report as Exhibits 99.1, 99.2, 99.3 and 99.4.
