INTRODUCTION

On April 25, 2012, the Registrant’s stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Plan, which, among other things, increased the number of authorized shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock that may become issuable under the Amended and Restated Plan by 2,627,000 shares, from 1,610,000 to 4,237,000 shares.

PART I

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE SECTION 10(a) PROSPECTUS

The information called for in Part I of the Form S-8 is not being filed with or included in this Form S-8 (by incorporation by reference or otherwise) in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”).

PART II

INFORMATION REQUIRED IN THE REGISTRATION STATEMENT

Registration of Additional Securities

The Amended and Restated Plan authorizes the issuance of an aggregate of 4,237,000 shares of Common Stock. The Registrant has previously registered 1,610,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Amended and Restated Plan pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (No. 333-150633) filed with the Commission on May 5, 2008 (the “Prior Registration Statement”). Under this Registration Statement, the Registrant is registering an additional 2,627,000 shares of Common Stock issuable under the Amended and Restated Plan. The contents of the Prior Registration Statement are incorporated by reference herein to the extent not modified or superseded thereby or by any subsequently filed document that is incorporated by reference herein or therein.

Experts

The consolidated financial statements and schedule appearing in the Registrant’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2012 and the effectiveness of the Registrant’s internal control over financial reporting as of January 1, 2012, have been audited by Ernst & Young LLP, independent registered public accounting firm, as set forth in their reports thereon, included therein, and incorporated herein by reference. The consolidated financial statements and schedule audited by Ernst & Young LLP have been incorporated herein by reference in reliance on their reports given on their authority as experts in accounting and auditing.

Item 5. Interests of Named Experts and Counsel

The opinion of counsel as to the legality of the securities that may be issued under the Amended and Restated Plan is given by Melanie S. Cibik, Vice President, Associate General Counsel and Assistant Secretary for the Registrant. As of March 29, 2012, Ms. Cibik owned 29,338 shares of the Registrant’s Common Stock and held stock options and performance share plan rights granted under various incentive plans of the Registrant.

Item 6. Indemnification of Directors and Officers

Effective April 22, 2009, the Registrant entered into individual Indemnification Agreements with directors and certain officers and executives of the Registrant. A total of 25 persons have such agreements. Simply, the Indemnification Agreements provide the directors and executives who are parties to the agreements with a stand-alone contractual right to indemnification and expense advancement to the greatest extent allowable under Delaware law. Some further details include:

 

II-1

---

•

In a third-party proceeding, an indemnitee is entitled to indemnification if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant and, if in a criminal action or proceeding, if the indemnitee had no reason to believe that his or her conduct was unlawful. In a third party proceeding, the indemnification obligation covers reasonable expenses, judgment fines, and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the indemnitee.

 

•

In proceedings by or in the name of the Registrant (e.g., derivative suits), an indemnitee is entitled to indemnification if the indemnitee acted in good faith and in a manner he or she reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Registrant. In derivative suits, the indemnification obligation covers reasonable expenses, but in proceedings where the Registrant is alleging harm caused by the indemnitee, the indemnitee would generally not be entitled to be indemnified for judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement (otherwise the Registrant would effectively not recover any damages), unless perhaps a Delaware or other court determines otherwise despite the finding of liability.

 

•

The Registrant has an obligation to advance, on an unsecured and interest-free basis, reasonable expenses incurred by the indemnitee within 30 days of the indemnitee’s request. The indemnitee does not need to meet any standard of conduct to be entitled to advancement of expenses and there is no determination requirement to be made by the Board of the Registrant in connection with the advancements of expenses. An indemnitee must repay any amounts advanced if it ultimately determined that the indemnitee is not entitled to indemnification.

The Registrant’s indemnification obligations do not cover the following situations: (1) where indemnification payments have been made under director’s and officer’s insurance or other indemnification provisions; (2) where the claim is based on disgorgement of short-swing profits under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act; (3) where the claim is based on reimbursement by the indemnitee to the Registrant of a bonus or other incentive-based or equity-based compensation if required under the Exchange Act (e.g., in connection with a restatement as a result of the company’s noncompliance with the financial reporting requirements required by Section 304 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended); or (4) where the proceeding is initiated by the indemnitee (other than proceedings that are consented to by the Board of the Registrant or that the indemnitee initiates against the Registrant to enforce the Indemnification Agreement).

Under the Indemnification Agreements, in the event of a change in control or the Registrant reduces or does not renew the Registrant’s director’s and officer’s insurance coverage, the Registrant is required to purchase (or cause the acquirer or successor to the Registrant to purchase or maintain) a six-year tail policy, subject to a 200% premium cap. The agreements continue until the later of (i) 10 years after the indemnitee ceases to serve as a director or officer, and (ii) one year following the final termination of any proceeding subject to the agreement.
