Item 4.
Purpose of Transaction.
 
Item 4 is hereby amended to add the following:
 
On July 28, 2014, Starboard Value LP and certain of its affiliates (collectively, “Starboard”) entered into a settlement agreement with the Issuer (the “Settlement Agreement”).  The following description of the Settlement Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Settlement Agreement, which is attached as Exhibit 99.1 hereto and is incorporated herein by reference.
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Issuer agreed, among other things: (i) to nominate and solicit proxies for the election of Jeffrey C. Smith, Louis DiNardo, Philip Black, and Dale L. Fuller (collectively, the “Starboard Nominees”) to the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”) at the 2014 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the “2014 Annual Meeting”) (and, if the Standstill Period (as defined below) is extended pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the “2015 Annual Meeting)); (ii) to appoint Mr. Fuller as an observer to the Board until the 2014 Annual Meeting; (iii) not to increase the size of the Board to more than nine (9) directors during the Standstill Period, subject to certain restrictions; and (iv) to use its reasonable best efforts to hold the 2014 Annual Meeting no later than September 13, 2014.  If any Starboard Nominee is unable to serve as a director, resigns or is removed as a director prior to the 2015 Annual Meeting (or, if the Standstill Period is extended, prior to the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders of the Issuer (the “2016 Annual Meeting”)) and at such time Starboard beneficially owns in the aggregate, excluding Shares underlying the Notes, at least the lesser of (i) three percent (3.0%) of the Issuer’s then outstanding Shares and (ii) 7,518,889 Shares, then Starboard can recommend substitute person(s) who meet certain independence and experience criteria for approval by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board and appointment by the Board within five (5) business days after such committee’s approval.
 
The Issuer further agreed that if it does not achieve certain objectives under its fiscal year 2015 business plan (the “Business Objectives”) previously agreed between the Issuer and Starboard, then Starboard will be entitled to nominate two additional directors to the Board as of the first business day following the date that the Issuer fails to achieve any of the Business Objectives.  If Starboard exercises this right, the Issuer will increase the size of the Board by two directors, and Starboard will propose two candidates, each of whom shall be appointed to the Board within ten (10) business days of being proposed, so long as such candidates meet certain independence criteria.  The initial two candidates must be proposed no later than the conclusion of the 2015 Annual Meeting.  Starboard’s right to fill two additional Board seats will expire if prior to proposing such candidates, Starboard and/or any of its affiliates sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of Shares, excluding Shares underlying the Notes, representing more than 0.99% of the outstanding Shares.  If the Issuer achieves all of the Business Objectives, then (x) the Standstill Period will be extended until the earlier of (i) the date that is fifteen (15) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2016 Annual Meeting and (ii) the date that is 100 days prior to the anniversary of the 2015 Annual Meeting, and (y) subject to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the Issuer will be obligated, if requested by Starboard prior to the nomination deadline for such Annual Meeting, to re-nominate each of the Starboard Nominees (or any lesser number requested by Starboard) for election to the Board at the 2015 Annual Meeting.

CUSIP NO. 747906204
 
Pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, Starboard agreed, among other things: (i) not to nominate any person for election at the 2014 Annual Meeting; (ii) not to submit any proposal for consideration at, or bring any other business before, the 2014 Annual Meeting; (iii) not to initiate, encourage or participate in any “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to the 2014 Annual Meeting; and (iv) to appear in person or by proxy at the 2014 Annual Meeting (and, if the Standstill Period is extended, at the 2015 Annual Meeting), and vote all Shares beneficially owned by it in favor of the election of each of the Issuer’s nominees to the Board and in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to each other proposal submitted to a stockholders vote at such Annual Meeting, unless Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. recommends otherwise with respect to such proposals (other than the election of directors); provided, however, that Starboard is only required to vote ratably with respect to all nominees at the 2015 Annual Meeting if the Issuer also votes ratably with respect to such nominees.  Starboard also agreed to obtain an irrevocable resignation letter from Mr. Smith pursuant to which he will resign from the Board and all applicable committees thereof if at any time during the Standstill Period Starboard’s aggregate beneficial ownership of the Shares, excluding Shares underlying the Notes, decreases to less than the lesser of (x) three percent (3.0%) of the Issuer’s then outstanding Shares and (y) 7,518,889 Shares.  At such time, (a) the right of Starboard to participate in the recommendation of a replacement director to fill the vacancy caused by any such resignation of Mr. Smith will be automatically terminated and (b) if such time occurs prior to the 2015 Annual Meeting, the Issuer will not be required to nominate or solicit proxies for the election of any Starboard Nominees for election to the Board at the 2015 Annual Meeting.
 
In addition, Starboard agreed to certain standstill provisions, effective as of the date of the Settlement Agreement through the earlier of (a) fifteen (15) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2015 Annual Meeting and (b) one-hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the 2014 Annual Meeting (which may be extended pursuant to the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the “Standstill Period”).  The standstill provisions generally restrict Starboard’s ability to engage in certain proxy solicitations, make certain stockholder proposals, call meetings of stockholders or solicit consents from stockholders, obtain additional representation on the Board and seek to remove any of the Issuer’s directors.
 
On July 29, 2014, the Issuer and Starboard jointly issued a mutually agreeable press release to announce they have reached a Settlement Agreement.

Nominee Four will (i) receive copies of all notices and written information furnished to the full Board, reasonably in advance of each meeting to the extent practicable, and (ii) be permitted to be present at all meetings of the full Board (whether by telephone or in person). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) the Company shall be entitled to withhold any information and exclude Nominee Four from any meeting, or any portion thereof, as is reasonably determined by the Company to be necessary to protect the Company’s attorney-client privilege, or as otherwise may be appropriate until Nominee Four is elected to the Board, and (B) Nominee Four shall execute a confidentiality agreement in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company with respect to the information and discussions to which he will have access. 
 
 
 

 
 
          (b) Upon the execution of this Agreement, Starboard hereby agrees not to (i) nominate any person for election at the 2014 Annual Meeting, (ii) submit any proposal for consideration at, or bring any other business before, the 2014 Annual Meeting, directly or indirectly, or (iii) initiate, encourage or participate in any “withhold” or similar campaign with respect to the 2014 Annual Meeting, directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates or Associates to do any of the items in this Section 1(b). Starboard shall not publicly or privately encourage or support any other stockholder to take any of the actions described in this Section 1(b).
 
          (c) The Company agrees that it will recommend, support and solicit proxies for the election of the Starboard Nominees at the 2014 Annual Meeting (and, if the Standstill Period is extended pursuant to Section 1(l) below, subject to Section 1(d) and 1(i), at the 2015 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “2015 Annual Meeting”)) in the same manner as for the Company’s other nominees standing for election to the Board at the 2014 Annual Meeting (and the 2015 Annual Meeting, as applicable).
 
          (d) The Company agrees that if any of the Starboard Nominees or any Replacement Director (as defined below) is unable to serve as a director, resigns as a director or is removed as a director prior to the 2015 Annual Meeting (or, if the Standstill Period is extended pursuant to Section 1(l) below, prior to the 2016 annual meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “2016 Annual Meeting”)) and at such time Starboard beneficially owns in the aggregate, excluding shares of Common Stock underlying the Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes, at least the lesser of (i) three percent (3.0%) of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock and (ii) 7,518,889 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications, combinations and similar adjustments), Starboard shall have the ability to recommend a substitute person(s) for approval by the Corporate Governance and Nominating Committee of the Board (the “Governance Committee”), in good faith after exercising its fiduciary duties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld (any such replacement nominee recommended in accordance with the terms of this Section 1(d) shall be referred to as the “Replacement Director”). Any Replacement Director shall (i) other than in the case of a substitute for Nominee One, be independent of Starboard, (ii) qualify as “independent” pursuant to NYSE listing standards, as do Nominee Two, Nominee Three and Nominee Four, and (iii) have relevant financial and business experience. In the event the Governance Committee does not accept a substitute person recommended by Starboard, Starboard will have the right to recommend additional substitute person(s), who meet the requirements of (i) through (iii) in the preceding sentence. Upon the recommendation of a Replacement Director nominee by the Governance Committee, the Board shall vote on the appointment of such Replacement Director to the Board no later than five (5) business days after the Governance Committee recommendation of such Replacement Director; provided, however, that if the Board does not elect such Replacement Director to the Board, the Parties shall continue to follow the procedures of this Section 1(d) until a Replacement Director is elected to the Board.
 
          (e) At the 2014 Annual Meeting (and, if the Standstill Period is extended pursuant to Section 1(l) below, at the 2015 Annual Meeting), Starboard agrees to appear in person or by proxy and vote all shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by it (i) in favor of the election of each of the Company’s nominees for election to the Board (ratably with respect to all nominees) and (ii) in accordance with the Board’s recommendation with respect to each other proposal submitted to a vote of the stockholders of the Company at such Annual Meeting, unless, solely with respect to proposals other than the election of directors, Institutional Shareholder Services Inc. recommends otherwise with respect to any such other proposal; provided, however, that Starboard shall only be required to vote ratably with respect to all nominees at the 2015 Annual Meeting to the extent that the Company also votes ratably with respect to all nominees at the 2015 Annual Meeting.

          (f) Starboard agrees that it will cause its Affiliates and Associates to comply with the terms of this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the terms “Affiliate” and “Associate” shall have the respective meanings set forth in Rule 12b-2 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) and shall include all persons or entities that at any time during the term of this Agreement become Affiliates or Associates of any person or entity referred to in this Agreement.
 
          (h) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to hold the 2014 Annual Meeting no later than September 13, 2014.
 
          (i) Starboard agrees to obtain from Nominee One an irrevocable resignation letter pursuant to which Nominee One shall resign from the Board and all applicable committees thereof if at any time during the Standstill Period Starboard’s aggregate beneficial ownership of Common Stock, excluding shares of Common Stock underlying the Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes, decreases to less than the lesser of (x) three percent (3.0%) of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock and (y) 7,518,889 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment for stock splits, reclassifications and similar adjustments). Also at such time, (1) the right of Starboard pursuant to Section 1(d) to participate in the recommendation of a Replacement Director to fill the vacancy caused by any such resignation of Nominee One shall automatically terminate and (2) if such time occurs prior to the 2015 Annual Meeting, the Company shall not be required to nominate, recommend, support or solicit proxies for the election of any Starboard Nominees for election to the Board at the 2015 Annual Meeting.
 
          (j) Starboard shall cause each Starboard Nominee (and any Replacement Director) to agree in writing, during the term of any service as a director of the Company, (i) to comply with all policies, procedures, processes, codes, rules, standards and guidelines applicable to members of the Board, including, without limitation, the Company’s code of conduct, insider trading policy, its Regulation FD policy, its related party transactions policy and corporate governance guidelines and (ii) to keep confidential and not publicly disclose discussions and matters considered in meetings of the Board and Board committees, unless previously disclosed publicly by the Company. Nominee Four within five (5) business days of the execution of this Agreement, and any Replacement Director, as promptly as reasonably practicable after the proposal of such Replacement Director, shall submit to the Company a fully completed copy of the Company’s standard director & officer questionnaire and other reasonable and customary director onboarding documentation required by the Company in connection with the appointment or election of new Board members.

          (k) If the Company does not achieve certain objectives under its fiscal year 2015 business plan previously agreed between the Company and Starboard, then Starboard will be entitled to nominate two additional directors to the Board. For the avoidance of doubt, Starboard shall be entitled to exercise any such right it may obtain under this paragraph to fill two additional Board seats as of the first business day following the date that the Company fails to achieve any of the agreed business plan objectives, which shall be determined as of the date the Company publicly announces earnings results for the applicable period. If Starboard exercises its rights under this paragraph, the Company shall increase the size of the Board by two directors, and Starboard shall propose two candidates, each of whom shall be appointed to the Board within ten (10) business days of being proposed, so long as such candidate qualifies as “independent” pursuant to NYSE listing standards and does not otherwise have any material conflicts with the Company or its businesses. If any such candidate proposed by Starboard is found to either have a material conflict or not to be “independent”, Starboard shall then have the right to propose an additional candidate who qualifies as “independent” pursuant to NYSE listing standards and does not otherwise have any material conflicts with the Company or its businesses and who shall be appointed to the Board within ten (10) business days of being proposed by Starboard. If Starboard obtains the right under this paragraph to fill two additional Board seats, then Starboard shall propose its initial two candidates no later than the conclusion of the 2015 Annual Meeting. Starboard’s right under this paragraph (k) to fill two additional Board seats shall expire if prior to proposing its initial two candidates, Starboard and/or any of its Affiliates sells, transfers or otherwise disposes of shares of the Company’s Common Stock (excluding shares of Common Stock underlying the Company’s convertible senior subordinated notes) representing more than 0.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock.
 
          (l) If the Company achieves all of the business plan objectives referred to in (k) above, then (x) the Standstill Period set forth in Section 2 below shall be extended until the earlier of (i) the date that is fifteen (15) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2016 Annual Meeting pursuant to the Company’s bylaws and (ii) the date that is 100 days prior to the anniversary of the 2015 Annual Meeting, and (y) subject to Section 1(d) and Section 1 (i), the Company shall be obligated, if requested by Starboard prior to the nomination deadline for such Annual Meeting, to re-nominate each of the four Starboard Nominees (or any lesser number requested by Starboard) for election to the Board at the 2015 Annual Meeting.
 
          (m) The parties agree that if, at any time, any nominee for the Board that is not a Starboard Nominee (a “Non-Starboard Nominee”) or any director serving on the Board that was not a Starboard Nominee or a Replacement Director (a “Non-Starboard Director”) is unable or unwilling to serve as a director, resigns as a director or is removed as a director, the other Non-Starboard Directors shall be entitled to name a substitute person to replace the Non-Starboard Nominee or Non-Starboard Director, as applicable, provided, that, such substitute person must have no material conflict with the Company or its businesses and, other than in the case of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, be “independent” pursuant to the NYSE Listing Standards.

          (a) Starboard agrees that, from the date of this Agreement until the earlier of (i) the date that is fifteen (15) business days prior to the deadline for the submission of stockholder nominations for the 2015 Annual Meeting pursuant to the Company’s bylaws or (ii) the date that is one hundred (100) days prior to the first anniversary of the 2014 Annual Meeting (as the same may be extended pursuant to Section 1(l), the “Standstill Period”), neither it nor any of its Affiliates or Associates under its control or direction will, and it will cause each of such Affiliates and Associates not to, directly or indirectly, in any manner:
 
               (i) engage in any solicitation of proxies or consents or become a “participant” in a “solicitation” as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act of proxies or consents (including, without limitation, any solicitation of consents that improperly seeks to call a special meeting of stockholders), in each case, with respect to securities of the Company;
 
               (ii) form, join or in any way participate in any “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to the Common Stock (other than a “group” that includes all or some of the persons identified on Exhibit A, but does not include any other entities or persons not identified on Exhibit A as of the date hereof); provided, however, that nothing herein shall limit the ability of an Affiliate of Starboard to join the “group” following the execution of this Agreement, so long as any such Affiliate agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement;
 
               (iii) deposit any Common Stock in any voting trust or subject any Common Stock to any arrangement or agreement with respect to the voting of any Common Stock, other than any such voting trust, arrangement or agreement solely among the members of Starboard and otherwise in accordance with this Agreement;
 
               (iv) seek, or encourage any person, to submit nominations in furtherance of a “contested solicitation” for the election or removal of directors with respect to the Company or seek, encourage or take any other action with respect to the election or removal of any directors;
 
               (v)(A) make any proposal for consideration by stockholders at any annual or special meeting of stockholders of the Company, (B) make any offer or proposal (with or without conditions) with respect to any merger, acquisition, recapitalization, restructuring, disposition or other business combination involving the Company, or encourage, initiate or support any other third party in any such related activity or (C) make any public communication in opposition to any Company acquisition or disposition activity approved by the Board;
 
               (vi) seek, alone or in concert with others, representation on the Board, except as specifically contemplated in Section 1;
 
               (vii) seek to advise, encourage, support or influence any person with respect to the voting or disposition of any securities of the Company at any annual or special meeting of stockholders, except in accordance with Section 1; or
 
               (viii) make any request or submit any proposal to amend the terms of this Agreement other than through non-public communications with the Company that would not be reasonably determined to trigger public disclosure obligations for any Party.
 
 
5

 
 
          (b) Except as expressly provided in Section 1 or Section 2(a), each member of Starboard shall be entitled to:
 
               (i) vote their shares on any other proposal duly brought before the 2014 Annual Meeting and 2015 Annual Meeting, or otherwise vote as each member of Starboard determines in its sole discretion; or
 
               (ii) disclose, publicly or otherwise, how it intends to vote or act with respect to any securities of the Company, any stockholder proposal or other matter to be voted on by the stockholders of the Company and the reasons therefore; provided that, as applicable, all such activity is in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement.

     5. Press Release.
 
     Promptly following the execution of this Agreement, the Company and Starboard shall jointly issue a mutually agreeable press release (the “Mutual Press Release”) announcing certain terms of this Agreement, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. Prior to the issuance of the Mutual Press Release, neither the Company nor Starboard shall issue any press release or public announcement regarding this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party. Until the 2014 Annual Meeting, neither the Company nor Starboard or any of the Starboard Nominees shall make any public announcement or statement that is inconsistent with or contrary to the statements made in the Mutual Press Release, except as required by law or the rules of any stock exchange or with the prior written consent of the other Party.
 
     6. Specific Performance.
 
     Each of Starboard, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand, acknowledges and agrees that irreparable injury to the other party hereto would occur in the event any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached and that such injury would not be adequately compensable by the remedies available at law (including the payment of money damages). It is accordingly agreed that Starboard, on the one hand, and the Company, on the other hand (the “Moving Party”), shall each be entitled to specific enforcement of, and injunctive relief to prevent any violation of, the terms hereof, and the other party hereto will not take action, directly or indirectly, in opposition to the Moving Party seeking such relief on the grounds that any other remedy or relief is available at law or in equity. This Section 6 is not the exclusive remedy for any violation of this Agreement.

     The Company shall reimburse Starboard for its reasonable, documented out-of-pocket fees and expenses (including legal expenses) incurred in connection with the matters related to the 2014 Annual Meeting, the filing of a Schedule 13D amendment in connection with this Agreement and the negotiation and execution of this Agreement, provided that such reimbursement shall not exceed seventy five thousand dollars ($75,000) in the aggregate.
 
     8. Severability.
 
     If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the Parties that the Parties would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such which may be hereafter declared invalid, void or unenforceable. In addition, the Parties agree to use their best efforts to agree upon and substitute a valid and enforceable term, provision, covenant or restriction for any of such that is held invalid, void or enforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction.

     This Agreement and the understanding regarding business plan objectives referred to herein constitute the entire understanding of the Parties hereto with respect to its subject matter. There are no restrictions, agreements, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings between the Parties other than as set forth in the preceding sentence.

No failure on the part of any party to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of such right, power or remedy by such party preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy. All remedies hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any other remedies provided by law. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by the Parties hereto and their respective successors, heirs, executors, legal representatives, and permitted assigns.

     13. Mutual Non-Disparagement.
 
     Subject to applicable law, each of the Parties covenants and agrees that, during the Standstill Period, or if earlier, until such time as the other Party or any of its agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, key employees or directors shall have breached this Section, neither it nor any of its respective agents, subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers, key employees or directors, shall in any way publicly disparage, call into disrepute, or otherwise defame or slander the other Parties or such other Parties’ subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers (including any current officer of a Party or a Parties’ subsidiaries who no longer serves in such capacity following the execution of this Agreement), directors (including any current director of a Party or a Parties’ subsidiaries who no longer serves in such capacity following the execution of this Agreement), employees, stockholders, agents, attorneys or representatives, or any of their products or services, in any manner that would damage the business or reputation of such other Parties, their products or services or their subsidiaries, affiliates, successors, assigns, officers (or former officers), directors (or former directors), employees, stockholders, agents, attorneys or representatives.
