Pursuant to an agreement with Alvarez & Marsal, Mr. Hede will continue to be employed by Alvarez & Marsal and will not receive any compensation directly from the Company or participate in any of the Company’s employee benefit plans.  The Company will instead pay Alvarez & Marsal an hourly fee of $875 for the services of Mr. Hede.
