Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On August 8, 2006, the compensation committee of the registrant’s board of directors approved the fiscal year 2007 bonus plan. This plan provides that cash bonuses will be paid semi-annually to executive officers and other employees based on the achievement of certain performance metrics – including revenue and operating income – and individual performance objectives. The target bonuses for executive officers range from 40% to 100% of base salary. Payments to executive officers under the plan may be more or less than a target bonus as a function of the registrant’s results or individual performance.
