Section 5 - Corporate Governance and Management

Item 5.02  Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors;
Appointment of Principal Officers.

      On January 20, 2005, Richard J. Dadamo resigned voluntarily from his
at-will employment as the Vice President of Corporate Development with the
Registrant, which terminated his employment. Nonetheless, Mr. Dadamo shall be
continuing to serve the Registrant as its Chairman of the Board and as one of
the Registrant's non-employee directors.

      Mr. Dadamo and the Registrant took this action in order to reduce the
Registrant's spending.

      As an employee, Mr. Dadamo had performed services in connection with
strategic initiatives under the direction of the Registrant's Chief Executive
Officer. Mr. Dadamo had no formal employment agreement. No replacement is being
considered.
