Item 2.05. Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities

On July 15, 2008, the Company took action to eliminate approximately 90 employee positions or approximately 6% of the Company’s global workforce in an ongoing effort to align the Company’s business model with its three-year growth plan and to achieve a more appropriate administrative cost structure and lower operating breakeven point. The reduction in workforce occurred after the Company identified opportunities to consolidate and centralize certain groups, rationalize where and how we do business, and to relocate some functions based on efficiencies and geographic differences in the cost of doing business. The Company currently estimates that the expenses associated with these reductions will be approximately $2.2 million in termination benefits, all in the form of cash termination benefit payments.

The restructuring described above follows a separate action taken by the Company on June 17, 2008 to reduce its headcount by approximately 15 employees by closing its data center and labs in Mountain View, California. These data processing activities will be absorbed in the Company’s facility in Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin. As necessary, the Company plans to hire additional personnel in Chippewa Falls to accommodate these activities.

The cumulative impact of these actions is a reduction of approximately 7% of the Company’s global workforce and approximately $2.5 million in cash termination benefit payments.
