The Employment Agreement was dated June 18, 2004, and a copy was filed as Exhibit 10.1 to the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2004. The Employment Agreement provided for Ms. Kayser to serve as Chief Financial Officer of the Company through July 11, 2006 with an annual base salary of $225,000, a guaranteed annual bonus of 25% of her base salary and a potential additional discretionary annual bonus of 25% of her base salary. The Employment Agreement also provided that Ms. Kayser was entitled to options to purchase up to 50,000 shares of Common Stock under the Company’s 2001 Stock Option and Incentive Plan. Under the Employment Agreement, if Ms. Kayser’s employment with the Company had been terminated by the Company for any reason other than cause or Ms. Kayser’s death or disability, the Company would have been required to pay Ms. Kayser at least her base salary in effect at the time of the termination through July 11, 2006.

The Separation Agreement also cancels all of Ms. Kayser’s unvested options to purchase the Company’s common stock and provides for a mutual release of claims between the Company and Ms. Kayser.
