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

On September 5, 2008, we and Christopher J. Munyan, our President and Chief Executive Officer, entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the employment agreement dated May 12, 2006 between us and Mr. Munyan (the “Employment Agreement”). The Amendment extends Mr. Munyan’s current term of employment by two years, until June 30, 2011. Additionally, the Amendment provides that the term of Mr. Munyan’s employment will renew for a three-year term on June 30 of each year unless either party provides the other with written notice of non-renewal at least ninety (90) days prior to July 1 of each year.

As amended, the Employment Agreement provisions under which Mr. Munyan is entitled to receive severance payments if his employment is terminated by us other than for cause provide that such severance payments will be equal to the greater of (i) eighteen months of Mr. Munyan’s then-current annual base salary (less applicable tax withholdings and payroll deductions) or (ii) Mr. Munyan’s then-current annual base salary (less applicable tax withholdings and payroll deductions) for the period from the effective date of such termination until the then-current expiration date of Mr. Munyan’s employment term under the Employment Agreement. Prior to the Amendment, the minimum amount of severance payments would have been equal to twelve months of Mr. Munyan’s annual base salary (less applicable tax withholdings and payroll deductions). As amended, the Employment Agreement continues to provide that any such severance payments will be reduced by any earnings and other compensation received by Mr. Munyan or accrued for his benefit for his services (whether as an employee or as an independent contractor) during the period commencing on the day following the one year anniversary of the termination of his employment. The Amendment also added a provision under which Mr. Munyan may be entitled to certain health insurance benefits during the period of time that he is entitled to receive severance payments, and it added provisions that are intended to ensure that the Employment Agreement complies with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.
