Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

Employment Agreement, Option Agreement, and Escrow Agreement with Mr. Bradley

In connection with the appointment of Wade R. Bradley as Chief Executive Officer and President and as further described under Item 5.02 below, the contents of which are incorporated hereunder by reference, on October 24, 2006, Mr. Bradley and the Company entered into an employment agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.  Mr. Bradley agreed to begin working for the Company on a date determined by him and in no event later than November 6, 2006 (the "Effective Date").

The material terms of the agreement include the following:

1. Appointment. Beginning on the Effective Date, Mr. Bradley will serve as President and Chief Executive Officer of the Company. The Company's Board of Directors (the "Board") is obligated to nominate him to serve on the Board. Subject to shareholder elections, he will serve on the Board through the term of his employment, with no additional compensation for services as a director.

2. Base Salary. Mr. Bradley’s initial base salary will be $240,000 per year. The Board may increase his base salary from time to time.

3. Annual Bonuses. Beginning with the Company's fiscal year which commences on January 1, 2007, Mr. Bradley is entitled to receive a bonus of up to 30% of his base salary ($72,000), upon the achievement of annual performance benchmarks, to be set by the Board from time to time in advance of each fiscal year.

4. Inducement Stock Option Grant. Mr. Bradley is entitled to receive stock options to purchase 500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, which will represent approximately 2.17% of the Company’s fully diluted capital stock. The options will not constitute incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986.  The options shall vest in installments in accordance with the schedule below:
 
·  
100,000 shares shall vest on February 6, 2007
 
·  
100,000 shares shall vest on November 6, 2007

·  
100,000 shares shall vest on November 6, 2009
 
·  
100,000 shares shall vest on November 6, 2010
 
The exercise price per option shall be equal to the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock on October 24, 2006. The number of shares subject to the options will be equitably adjusted in the event of any stock split, stock dividend, reverse stock split or other similar event. The terms and conditions of the options are included in a separate option grant agreement substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 10.2.

5. Standard Benefits. Mr. Bradley will be eligible to participate in the Company’s standard benefits package, on the same basis as other senior executives of the Company.

7. Company Car. The Company shall reimburse Mr. Bradley for the amount required to lease an automobile of Mr. Bradley’s choice up to a maximum of $500 per month. In addition, the Company will reimburse Mr. Bradley, up to a maximum of $1,000 per year, for the following properly documented expenses related to such automobile: (i) service, (ii) maintenance, (iii) repair and (iv) excess mileage fees required by the automobile lease, if such excess mileage is the result of required business travel by Mr. Bradley on behalf of the Company.

8. Term. The employment agreement expires on the third anniversary of the Effective Date, subject to automatic renewal for a one-year term unless either party has given the other 60 days’ prior written notice.

9. Severance. Mr. Bradley will be entitled to certain severance payments and other rights if his employment is terminated: (i) by the Company without “Cause,” as that term is defined in his agreement, (ii) by Mr. Bradley for “Good Reason,” as that term is defined in his agreement, or (iii) non-renewal other than for “Cause.” In each such instance, Mr. Bradley’s severance benefits will be as follows:
 
·  
Salary. Any unpaid base salary through the date of termination.

·  
Vacation. Any earned but unused vacation time.

·  
Severance Payment. He will be entitled to an amount equal to twelve months of base salary payable over the 12-month period immediately following termination.

·  
To secure the Company’s obligation to make the Severance Payment, within seven days after the Effective Date, the Company shall deposit, at its election, either (1) cash in the amount of Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($240,000) or (2) an irrevocable letter of credit with a face amount of Two Hundred Forty Thousand Dollars ($240,000), with an agreed upon escrow agent who shall hold such funds (or letter of credit) in escrow pursuant to the terms and conditions contained in the escrow agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit 10.3 attached hereto. The escrow agreement provides different scenarios upon which either the Company or Mr. Bradley shall be entitled to interest on the escrowed funds.
 
·  
Options. All unvested options shall immediately vest and, together with the previously vested options, must be exercised during the 60 days immediately following the date of termination (and if not so exercised, all such options shall automatically and irrevocably terminate).

10. Additional Covenants. The employment agreement contains restrictive covenants, including anti-solicitation provisions extending one year after termination of his employment, as well as standard confidentiality obligations.

Potter as Interim Chief Executive Officer, the Board has informally agreed to negotiate with Mr. Potter for a severance package in an amount to be determined.
