Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

Richard A. Montoni, President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company, is a participant in the Company’s Income Continuity Plan (“Plan”). The Plan is also incorporated by reference into Mr. Montoni’s Executive Employment, Non-Compete and Confidentiality Agreement (the “Employment Agreement”).
On March 4, 2014 the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors passed a resolution to delete the gross-up provisions from the Plan pertaining to the excise tax arising under Sections 280G and 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code. Under the Plan such an amendment also requires the consent of the affected participants.
On March 4, 2014, Mr. Montoni and the Company entered into a letter agreement under which the parties agreed to amend both the Plan as well as the Employment Agreement to delete the provisions of the Plan providing for excise tax gross-up payments in the event of a change of control of the Company. All of the other participants in the Plan have entered into similar letter agreements with the Company. Accordingly, no director, officer or employee of the Company is entitled to an excise tax gross-up payment in the event there is a change of control of the Company.
