Item 5.02.
Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On November 8, 2005, we announced two changes to our board of directors. Ms. Deborah Bricker resigned from our board of directors effective November 8, 2005 for health reasons.
 
On that same date, the board of directors elected Mr. John Moody as a new director to fill the vacancy created by Ms. Bricker’s departure as a Class II director. Mr. Moody’s term will end at the annual meeting of shareholders in 2006, at which time we expect him to stand for reelection. Mr. Moody has been appointed to both the Compensation Committee and the Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee of the board of directors. We currently expect that the Compensation Committee will elect him as its chairman to replace Ms. Bricker.
 
Mr. Moody will receive a grant under our 2004 Omnibus Stock Plan of 15,000 shares of our common stock on December 1, 2005. In addition, he will receive an annual grant of 5,700 shares of restricted stock beginning with our annual meeting of shareholders in 2006. As an independent director, Mr. Moody will receive $40,000 per year and $1,000 for each meeting of the board of directors or any committee of the board that he attends. If he is elected as chairman of the Compensation Committee, he will receive a fee of $7,500 for serving as committee chair. In addition, he will be reimbursed for out-of-pocket expenses for attending board and committee meetings.
 
A copy of the press release announcing these changes is filed as an exhibit to this Form 8-K and is incorporated herein by reference in its entirety.
