Section 1 - Registrant's Business and Operations

Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

As disclosed in Item 5.02 of this Form 8-K,  effective  January 12, 2005, Pamela
G. Boone, 41, accepted the position of Vice President & Treasurer in lieu of her
position of Vice  President & Chief  Financial  Officer.  Ms.  Boone will be the
acting Chief Financial Officer until the new Chief Financial Officer is named.

The Company  entered  into a  severance  agreement  on May 11, 2004  ("Severance
Agreement") that provides for, among other things,  severance in the amount of 6
month base pay plus benefits for  termination  without  "Cause",  death,  "Total
Disability",  or "Retirement",  or by the employee without "Good Reason" (Cause,
Total  Disability,  Retirement,  and Good  Reason as  defined  in the  Severance
Agreement which is attached hereto and  incorporated by Reference) other than in
a change-in-control situation. For termination in a change-in-control situation,
the  Severance  Agreement  provides  for a payment of 2.5 times base salary plus
bonus and benefits  upon a termination  within thirty (30) months  following the
change-in-control  for other than Cause,  death, Total Disability or Retirement,
or by the executive without Good Reason. The Company has agreed to the principal
terms of an addendum  ("Addendum")  to the Severance  Agreement  with Ms. Boone,
which will be finalized in the near future,  providing  for, among other things,
an increase in her severance  benefit to eighteen  months base pay plus benefits
should she separate from service  during the  Transition  Period  without Cause,
death, Total Disability,  or Retirement, or by the Executive without Good Reason
other than in a  change-in-control  situation.  The Transition Period is the 180
day period  following the earlier of March 15, 2005, or the appointment of a new
Chief Financial  Officer.  All other  provisions of the Severance  Agreement are
unaffected. Following the expiration of the Transition Period, the Addendum will
become null and void,  and the  Severance  Agreement  will continue to remain in
effect.

The text of the  Severance  Agreement  is  attached  hereto as Exhibit  10.1 and
incorporated by reference.
