ITEM 2.05. COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH EXIT OR DISPOSAL ACTIVITIES

On August 1, 2007, the company announced a strategic restructuring that it committed to and initiated on July 30, 2007. The restructuring plan resulted from a review of the company’s cost and organizational structures. The plan includes a reduction in the company’s workforce of approximately 100 employees worldwide, or approximately 5% of its full-time staff. The reductions will begin immediately and are expected to be completed by the end of the third quarter of 2007.

As a result of these actions, the company expects to record a cash, pre-tax restructuring charge of approximately $4 million in the third quarter of 2007, representing employee termination costs. These actions are expected to result in annualized savings of approximately $20 million.
