Item 1.02. Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 31, 2006, Allan R. Frank resigned his position as the company’s President. In connection with Mr. Frank’s resignation, the company and Mr. Frank entered into a Resignation Agreement, dated as of March 31, 2006 (the “Resignation Agreement”), that supersedes Mr. Frank’s Employment Agreement, dated as of May 26, 1998, as amended on November 10, 2004 (the “Employment Agreement”).

The Employment Agreement provided for an annual salary of $490,000, plus a bonus to be determined and paid pursuant to a bonus plan to be adopted by the Board of Directors for each fiscal year. The Employment Agreement contained certain confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation provisions. The Employment Agreement also provided that: (a) upon a change of control, regardless of termination, Mr. Frank would have received two years’ annual salary and full vesting of all issued and outstanding equity grants, including restricted stock units and stock options; (b) upon termination for disability, Mr. Frank would have received one year’s annual salary and full vesting of any issued and outstanding equity grants, including restricted stock units and stock options; (c) upon termination due to death, Mr. Frank would have received full vesting of all issued and outstanding equity grants, including restricted stock units and stock options; and (d) upon termination without cause on the part of the Company Mr. Frank would have received one year’s annual salary. The term “annual salary” for all purposes was defined as Mr. Frank’s salary plus bonus for the most recent twelve months.

The Resignation Agreement provides for: (a) a severance payment to Mr. Frank equivalent to one year’s annual salary paid to Mr. Frank over 12 months; (b) the continuation of Mr. Frank’s health and dental insurance for 12 months (or until he becomes eligible to participate in another group health plan if sooner); (c) the acceleration of the vesting of 25,000 unvested stock options with an exercise price of $6.25 and the right to exercise all outstanding stock options until July 31, 2007; and (d) the continued vesting of 208,334 restricted stock units, 50% of which will vest on each of July 14, 2006 and July 14, 2007. Upon a change of control during the twelve month period ending March 31, 2007 (the “Severance Period”), Mr. Frank will receive the equivalent of an additional one year’s salary paid over 12 months and any unvested restricted stock units will vest immediately. The Resignation Agreement contains company-standard confidentiality provisions and a two-year non-solicitation of clients and employees provision. Furthermore, the Resignation Agreement provides that during the Severance Period, Mr. Frank cannot work for certain competitors or their affiliates.
