ITEM 5.02    Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers

On August 18, 2006, David C. Wajsgras, a member of our Board of Directors and Chair of our Audit and Finance Committee, notified us that he has decided not to stand for re-election to the Board when his term expires at our 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders on September 20, 2006. Mr. Wajsgras will finish out his term.

Mr. Wajsgras has informed us that his decision is not in any way because of a disagreement with the company on any matter relating to our operations, policies or practices.

The Nominating and Governance Committee of our Board of Directors has appointed Gary T. DiCamillo, an independent member of our Board, to replace Mr. Wajsgras on the Audit and Finance Committee, effective at the 2006 Annual Meeting of Shareholders provided Mr. DiCamillo is re-elected to the Board at such annual meeting. Our Nominating and Governance Committee has also appointed James R. Long, an existing member of our Audit and Finance Committee and an independent member of our Board, as Chair of the Audit and Finance Committee, effective at the 2006 annual meeting. In addition, our Board of Directors has determined that Mr. DiCamillo meets all of the requirements of Nasdaq and the SEC to be a member of our Audit and Finance Committee, is an “audit committee financial expert” as such term is defined by the SEC, and is financially sophisticated under Nasdaq standards.
