Currie, the Company’s President and Chief Executive Officer, amending the Agreement Regarding Use of Aircraft Interest, dated as of November 17, 2009, by and between the Company and Mr. Currie, which the Company previously filed as Exhibit 10.48 to its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009 (the “Aircraft Use Agreement”). The Agreement provides, among other things, that (i) Mr. Currie will no longer be entitled to the 25 hours of Company-funded personal use of the Company’s aircraft that were provided to him previously in accordance with the Company’s policies in addition to his contractually contemplated business commute, as specified in the Aircraft Use Agreement and (ii) to the extent that Mr. Currie wishes to use the Company’s aircraft in addition to such business commute, Mr. Currie agrees to pay for such use in advance of any such trip, in accordance with Section 2 of the Aircraft Use Agreement, at the fully loaded variable rate (which rate represents the Company’s “aggregate incremental cost” of such use within the meaning of Regulation S-K and the rules and other guidance of the Securities and Exchange Commission). The description of the Agreement set forth herein is qualified in its entirety by the Agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K and incorporated herein by reference.
