The Committee approved the following changes to Mr. Kerrest’s compensation package in the event that he is terminated within one year of a Change of Control (as such term is defined in his employment agreement): (i) an extension of the post termination time period for health coverage from 12 months to 18 months; (ii) an acceleration of the vesting schedule of all equity incentive awards then held by him; and (iii) an extension of the post termination exercise period for equity incentive awards to 18 months.

The Committee approved the following changes to Mr. Boyer’s compensation package in the event that he is terminated within one year of a change of control: (i) an increase in his severance amount to 11 months of base salary plus target bonus for that year; (ii) an extension of the post termination time period for health coverage to 9 months; (iii) an acceleration of the vesting schedule of all equity incentive awards then held by him; and (iv) an extension of the post termination exercise period for equity incentive awards to 9 months.

The Company intends to enter into amendments to the employment agreements of Messrs. Evans, Kerrest and Boyer consistent with the amended terms approved by the Committee.

In addition, on August 25, 2010, the Committee approved an award of 103,092 restricted stock units to be settled in shares of the Company’s common stock (the “RSUs”) to Mr. Kerrest. The RSUs were granted under the Company’s 2004 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Plan”) and are subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan. The RSUs will be subject to time based vesting. Twenty-five percent of RSUs will vested on August 25, 2011 and 1/36th of the remaining RSUs will vest each month thereafter, subject to Mr. Kerrest’s continued status as a Service Provider (as defined in the Plan) on each such date.
