Item 1.01   Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

entitled to receive  annual base  compensation  of $600,000,  a signing bonus of
$250,000,  an award of 250,000 shares of restricted  stock,  which shall vest in

two years of base salary and his most recent  bonus and all  unvested  incentive
awards shall  automatically  vest as of the termination date. Upon a termination

most recent bonus and,  regardless of whether there is a  termination,  upon the
occurrence  of the  change of  control,  all  unvested  incentive  awards  shall
automatically  vest as of the  termination  date.  Upon a voluntary  termination
without  good  reason,  termination  for  cause,  death  or  disability,  or  in
connection  with a change  of  control  separation,  Mr.  Peterson  would not be
entitled to receive  benefits  from the Company,  except that in the case of Mr.
Peterson's   death  or   disability,   all  unvested   incentive   awards  shall
