Harbinger Capital Partners LLC (“Harbinger Capital”), an affiliate of the Company and the Principal Stockholders, provides advisory and consulting services to the Company. On January 9, 2012, the Company entered into employment agreements with certain former personnel of Harbinger Capital, retrospectively effective to October 1, 2011. The Company expects to reimburse Harbinger Capital for its out-of-pocket expenses and the cost of certain services performed by legal and accounting personnel of Harbinger Capital as well as employment and other costs associated with the above employees to the extent their services related to the Company from October 1, 2011 to the date of transfer. The Company has recognized approximately $700 of expenses as an estimate of the amount it expects to reimburse Harbinger Capital under these arrangements with respect to the three month period ended January 1, 2012, which is subject to review and approval by a special committee of the Company’s board of directors, consisting solely of directors who were determined by the Company’s board of directors to be independent under the NYSE rules, and is therefore subject to change. The Company believes that the amount of expenses recognized is reasonable; however, it does not necessarily represent the costs that would have been incurred by the Company on a stand-alone basis. There were no similar expenses recognized in the three-month period ended January 2, 2011.
