Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers Resignation of Current Chief Financial Officer On November 7, 2006, Don Mueller, our Chief Financial Officer and principal financial and accounting officer, asserted that we had constructively terminated his employment with us. We disagree with Mr. Mueller’s assertion, and therefore consider him to have voluntarily resigned his employment with us effective November 7, 2006. Appointment of New Interim Chief Financial Officer Also effective November 7, 2006, Veronica Tarrant, age 44, was appointed as our Interim Chief Financial Officer and will serve as our principal financial and accounting officer while we search for a permanent replacement for Mr. Mueller. In connection with her appointment, we agreed to pay Ms. Tarrant an annual salary of $200,000. Immediately prior to her appointment as Interim Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Tarrant served as our Vice President of Finance and Corporate Controller. Prior to joining the company, Ms. Tarrant was employed by Power-One, Inc. a manufacturer of power conversion products, first as Controller for one of its divisions (2000-2002), and later as Vice President Finance (2002-2005) and then Vice President of Finance and Chief Accounting Officer (2005-2006). Prior to Power-One, Inc. Ms. Tarrant served as the Controller for Schlumberger ATE, a manufacturer of automated test equipment for the semiconductor industry. There are no understandings or arrangements between Ms. Tarrant and any other person pursuant to which Ms. Tarrant was selected as Interim Chief Financial Officer. Ms. Tarrant does not have any family relationship with any director, executive officer or person nominated or chosen by our Board of Directors to become a director or executive officer.
