Item 5.02. Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(b) Resignation of President - Europe. On December 14, 2011, Stein Jacobsen announced his decision to resign from his position as President - Europe, effective as of March 31, 2012. Mr. Jacobsen will remain an employee until March 31, 2012, and will receive his regular salary through his final employment date. He will be eligible for a bonus based pro rata on his service period during fiscal year 2012, subject to company performance against metrics previously established for his position under our annual bonus program.

Under a pre-existing employment agreement between Mr. Jacobsen and his former employer, which was adopted by us after we acquired his former employer, Mr. Jacobsen is entitled to 12 months’ salary (2,350,000 Norwegian kroner) in the event of his resignation, and will be subject to certain non-competition obligations for one year after his resignation.

Mr. Jacobsen has also agreed to provide us with certain consulting services from April 1, 2012 through December 31, 2012, in connection with the transition of commercial operations, sales, and customer relationships. The sole compensation he will receive in connection with that consulting arrangement is the continued vesting of certain outstanding stock options granted to him October 1, 2008 and November 11, 2008. The remainder of his unvested and outstanding equity awards will be cancelled as of his final employment date.
