Item 5.02.                                            Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers;
 Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

 

                On January 16, 2008, the compensation committee of our board of directors took action to terminate the cash incentive program for our executive officers that was approved on June 8, 2007 and was based on our monthly initial margin.  As part of this action, the compensation committee also approved the termination of the Amendment to Employment Agreement entered into with each of our executive officers (other than JoAnn B. Boldt, our Senior Vice President of Human Resources) on July 9, 2007, as previously filed with the SEC on July 13, 2007, which implemented the terminated incentive program and made certain other changes to our executive’s employment arrangements.  The termination of the incentive program and the termination of the Amendment to Employment Agreement will both be effective on February 3, 2008, the first day of our 2008 fiscal year.  Upon termination of the Amendment to Employment Agreement, each of our executive officers (including Ms. Boldt who did not enter into the amendment because it was incorporated into the terms of her employment agreement upon her promotion to Senior Vice President) will be party to an employment agreement in the form applicable to his or her executive level, as filed with the SEC on March 7, 2006.  Our compensation committee has not yet adopted a cash incentive program for our executive officers for fiscal 2008.
