On September 30, 2008, Henry Schein, Inc. (the “Company”) and Stanley M. Bergman (Chairman of the Board of Directors and Chief Executive Officer of the Company) entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Employment Agreement dated January 1, 2003, as subsequently amended on December 16, 2005 and June 30, 2008 (the “Employment Agreement”). The Amendment extends the notice period during which time the Company may inform Mr. Bergman of its intent to extend his employment under the terms of the Employment Agreement for an additional three-year period (the “Extension Notice”). Prior to the execution of the Amendment, the Extension Notice was to be given by the Company no later than September 30, 2008 and Mr. Bergman was to advise the Company if he did not wish to extend his employment period no later than November 14, 2008. In order to allow the Company and Mr. Bergman additional time to amend the Employment Agreement to comply with the requirements of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and the guidance issued thereunder, and to make any additional changes as the parties may mutually agree, the Company and Mr. Bergman agreed to amend the Employment Agreement to provide that the Extension Notice may be provided by the Company to Mr. Bergman no later than October 31, 2008, and Mr. Bergman’s notice of non-extension, if any, must be provided to the Company no later than December 15, 2008.
