The term of the Agreement covers Ms. Cooper's employment from September 30, 2009 to September 30, 2010 and thereafter will renew annually unless written notice provides otherwise.

If Ms. Cooper resigns for "good reason" or is terminated by the Company other than for "cause" (each as defined in the Agreement), or if the Company provides notice that it does not wish to extend Ms. Cooper's employment beyond the initial term and any subsequent annual renewal date, she will be entitled generally to receive a lump sum cash payment equal to one times her base salary and will be eligible to receive a portion of her target annual bonus and performance share awards (subject to actual performance achieved and pro-rated based on the portion of the performance period completed through the termination date), subject to executing the Company's then standard form of release. Additionally, 20,000 shares of restricted stock granted to Ms. Cooper on July 28, 2009 shall automatically vest.
Ms. Cooper is eligible to participate in all retirement, welfare and benefit plans and perquisites generally made available to other senior employees of the Company. Additionally, Ms. Cooper is a participant in the Company's Change in Control Severance Policy, and is entitled to a lump-sum severance payment equal to 2.99 times her annual base salary and annual performance cash incentive target and certain other benefits, in the event of a termination without "cause" or for "good reason" (as those terms are defined in such policy) following a change in control of the Company.
In addition, as of September 30, 2009, the Company also entered into an amended and restated employment agreement with Amy Fliegelman Olli, the Company's Executive Vice President and General Counsel, which amended and restated her original employment agreement which was effective as of August 22, 2006 and subsequently amended and restated on December 18, 2008.

Retention Bonus Letter Agreements
On October 1, 2009, the Company entered into retention bonus letter agreements (the "Retention Letter Agreements") with two of its named executive officers. Under the first of these Retention Letter Agreements, Michael J. Christenson, the Company's President and Chief Operating Officer, is entitled to receive $400,000 in cash as of May 1, 2010 and will receive an additional $400,000 in cash as of October 1, 2010, provided he remains employed by the Company through such date. Under the second of these Retention Letter Agreements, Nancy E. Cooper, the Company's Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, is entitled to receive $300,000 in cash as of May 1, 2010 and will receive an additional $300,000 in cash as of October 1, 2010, provided she remains employed by the Company through such date.
In the event either of the named executive officers resigns for "good reason" or is terminated by the Company other than for "cause" (as defined in their respective employment agreements) before October 1, 2010, and subject to executing the Company's then standard release, such named executive officer will receive any unpaid portion of their retention bonus amount.
These retention bonus payments are separate from other cash compensation that may be paid to such named executive officers under the Company's compensation plans. These Retention Letter Agreements are intended to help ensure that the Company continues to retain the services of these named executive officers. In addition to the Retention Letter Agreements described above, on October 1, 2009, the Company entered into additional retention and/or severance agreements with several other executive officers, none of whom are named executive officers, in order to help ensure their continued service to the Company.
