Item 5.02(e) Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers

On August 1, 2011, the Company entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Mr. Kornberg which, in part, amends Mr. Kornberg’s agreement with the Company dated September 16, 2008. The employment agreement was amended to provide principally for (i) a term ending July 31, 2014, (ii) base salary at his current annual salary of $715,000, (iii) a change from a so-called “single trigger” to a “double trigger” change in control provision that would allow Mr. Kornberg, under certain circumstances (as specified in the agreement) to terminate his employment and receive a lump sum payment from the Company following a Change in Control (as defined in the agreement) of the Company, (iv) eliminating the so-called tax “gross-up” provision with respect to any such lump sum payment in the event of a Change in Control, and (v) replacing Mr. Kornberg’s post-termination rights to participate in medical plans or be paid to facilitate participation by a fixed right to payment of $22,500 for a pre-Change in Control termination by the Company not for cause or by Mr. Kornberg as a result of breach of the agreement and $37,500 for a post-Change in Control termination by Mr. Kornberg for Good Reason or by the Company without cause.

The foregoing summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Third Amended and Restated Employment Agreement filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated by reference in this Item 5.02(e).
