ITEM 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On March 1, 2006, the Compensation Committee authorized the payment of cash bonuses to each of the Company’s Named Executive Officers (“NEOs”) in respect of the year ended January 28, 2006 (fiscal 2005). As such, Messrs. Stack, Colombo, Newlin and Hines received cash bonus payments of $1,040,000, $300,000, $300,000, and $270,000, respectively.
     Also on March 1, 2006, the Compensation Committee determined that the performance criterion for purposes of Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code under the Company’s 2002 Plan for fiscal year 2006 would be based on the Company’s performance during fiscal year 2006 as measured against the Company achieving defined earnings before income tax levels, and payment amounts will be based on percentage of base salary prorated between targets and maximum levels of actual earnings before taxes performance. The fiscal 2006 incentive bonus targets and maximum amounts are up to 400% of base salary for the Company’s CEO and up to 150% of base salary for the Company’s other NEOs.
