On November 5, 2010, we entered into amended employment agreements, effective as of October 12, 2010, with Messrs. Bradley, Freund, Ott and Tremblay. The purpose of the amendments was to correct a scrivener’s error in these employment agreements and to harmonize terms among similarly situated executives, clarifying that the stated cap on bonus compensation, subject to other agreement terms, is twice the bonus target. Copies of the amended employment agreements are attached hereto as Exhibits 99.1-99.4 and are incorporated by reference into this item.
