On December 19, 2008, Palm entered into amended and restated Severance Agreements and Management Retention Agreements with each of its executive officers (the “Agreements”), other than Jonathan J. Rubinstein. The amendments were intended to comply with the regulations under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and to revise various definitions under the Agreements, including the definitions of Cause, Disability and Voluntary Departure for Good Reason. The amendments did not materially affect the economic terms of the Agreements.
