          On February 15, 2011, we reported our financial and operating results for the three months and year ended December 31, 2010. These results are discussed in the press release attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, and hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 2.02 in its entirety.

          On February 14, 2011, we entered into an amendment to our employment agreement with James E. Meyer, our President, Operations and Sales. The amendment:

 

 

 

 

Ÿ

changes the dates that Mr. Meyer may elect to retire from April 2011 to May 2012;

 

Ÿ

delays a previously scheduled increase in Mr. Meyer’s base salary from May 1, 2012 to June 1, 2012; and

 

Ÿ

eliminates our obligation to offer Mr. Meyer a one-year consulting agreement upon expiration of his employment agreement or upon his retirement.

          Separately, Mr. Meyer has waived the increase in his base salary that was scheduled to take effect on May 1, 2011 under his employment agreement.

          The foregoing description is qualified in its entirety by the First Amendment to the Employment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1, which is hereby incorporated by reference in this Item 5.02 in its entirety.
