Item 8.01 Other Events.
As previously reported, on September 16, 2010, a former employee, John Arditi, filed a lawsuit in
the Law Division of the Superior Court of New Jersey (Bergen County), against us and two of our
officers. Pursuant to an existing arbitration agreement, Mr. Arditi had previously agreed to
resolve claims relating to his employment through arbitration. On November 22, 2010, we confirmed
that Mr. Arditi had filed a Notice of Voluntary Dismissal with the court on November 18, 2010,
dismissing his lawsuit without prejudice. We did not make any payment or provide consideration of
any kind to Mr. Arditi in connection with this dismissal. As of the date of this report, Mr.
Arditi has not initiated arbitration.
