Item 5.02.    Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers
 
On March 31, 2011, Interline Brands, Inc. (the "Company") and its Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Michael J. Grebe, entered into a Third Amendment to Mr. Grebe's Employment Agreement (the "Amendment"). Pursuant to the Amendment, Mr. Grebe has agreed to remove his contractual right to a base salary increase of at least 5% annually. Mr. Grebe has further agreed to modify his severance rights in the event of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 1.4 of his Employment Agreement) by giving up his modified single-trigger vesting provision and replacing it with a double-trigger vesting provision. The effect of this change is that Mr. Grebe is no longer entitled to severance if he voluntarily terminates his employment without "Good Reason" (as defined in Section 1.6 of the Employment Agreement) during the 30-day period following the first anniversary of a Change in Control. Instead, Mr. Grebe will only be entitled to severance following a Change in Control if his employment is subsequently terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Grebe for Good Reason.

The Amendment was entered into by the Company and Mr. Grebe to make certain changes believed to be in the best interests of the Company's shareholders.
