General Chiarelli’s term as director commenced immediately upon appointment, and his current term as director will expire at the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders or upon his prior death, resignation, retirement or removal from office. General Chiarelli has been nominated for reelection to a one-year term on the Board, which nomination along with all other nominations will be voted upon by the Company’s shareholders at the 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders. General Chiarelli was not appointed to any committees of the Board, but is expected to be appointed to one or more committees of the Board following the Company’s 2012 Annual Meeting of Shareholders, although which specific committee(s) has not been determined at the time of the disclosure in this Current Report on Form 8-K.

As a non-employee director, General Chiarelli will be compensated for his services as a director in accordance with the Summary of Annual Compensation of Outside Directors, effective January 1, 2012, filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on December 7, 2011, and incorporated in this Item 5.02(d) by reference.
