27, 2005, we entered into an agreement (the &#8220;Agreement&#8221;) with the Estate of
Primo L. Montesi, Jr. and Betty Johnson Montesi. Primo L. Montesi was the
co-founder of our Company and served as its President and Principal Financial
Officer until his death on June 24, 2004. Betty Johnson Montesi is his surviving
widow. As of March 23, 2005, the Estate of Mr. Montesi was the beneficial owner
of 2,120,533 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 9.1% of the
total outstanding shares of our common stock. </FONT></DIV>

style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">The
Agreement is a restructured retirement compensation agreement and settlement, in
lieu of a retirement settlement that we had agreed to provide Mr. Montesi (the
&#8220;Retirement Plan&#8221;) but under which no benefits were distributed before his
death. Under the Agreement, we will pay Mrs. Montesi $5,000 in cash each month
for 10 years beginning April 2005. To the extent that our cash and cash
equivalents at the end of any month are below $100,000, we will not be obligated
to make a cash payment the following month but will instead issue to Mrs.
Montesi 3,500 shares of our common stock; however, in no single year will we
issue to Mrs. Montesi more than 15,000 shares of common stock in lieu of cash
payments. If we close one or a series of related equity financings in the
aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000 over any 18-month period (the
&#8220;Financings&#8221;), we will pay Mrs. Montesi out of the proceeds of the Financings a
lump sum of $65,000 to reimburse her legal fees and expenses associated with the
Agreement and to compensate her for monthly payments not made with respect to
the period January 1, 2005 through April 1, 2005. If we undertake the
Financings, Mrs. Montesi may sell a portion of her shares as part of the
Financings (subject to a cap of 10% of the total number of shares sold in the
any Financing and a maximum of $1,000,000 in proceeds from all such sales). In
connection with any Financing, Mrs. Montesi will, if asked, sign a lock-up
agreement restricting her ability to sell additional shares of our common stock
for a period not to exceed 180 days after the Financing. The Agreement also
requires us to issue to Mrs. Montesi options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our
common stock at a price of $1.09 per share, exercisable for a 10-year period.
The expiration date of the stock options currently held by Mrs. Montesi has been
extended to May 27, 2010. </FONT></DIV>

accounted for the Retirement Plan as a deferred compensation arrangement and had
accrued a liability with respect thereto of $3,245,000 at December 31, 2003 for
payments required to be made under the Retirement Plan. As a result of the
Agreement, the previously recorded liability of will be reduced by a total of
$2,707,750 to $537,250 (which amount represents the present value of the
estimated payments required to be made under the Agreement). No liability will
be recorded for the stock options granted to Mrs. Montesi under the Agreement,
as the exercise price of such options is equal to the market value of the
underlying common stock on the date of grant.</FONT></DIV>

Item
1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
On May
27, 2005, we entered into an agreement (the "Agreement") with the Estate of
Primo L. Montesi, Jr. and Betty Johnson Montesi. Primo L. Montesi was the
co-founder of our Company and served as its President and Principal Financial
Officer until his death on June 24, 2004. Betty Johnson Montesi is his surviving
widow. As of March 23, 2005, the Estate of Mr. Montesi was the beneficial owner
of 2,120,533 shares of our common stock, representing approximately 9.1% of the
total outstanding shares of our common stock.
The
Agreement is a restructured retirement compensation agreement and settlement, in
lieu of a retirement settlement that we had agreed to provide Mr. Montesi (the
"Retirement Plan") but under which no benefits were distributed before his
death. Under the Agreement, we will pay Mrs. Montesi $5,000 in cash each month
for 10 years beginning April 2005. To the extent that our cash and cash
equivalents at the end of any month are below $100,000, we will not be obligated
to make a cash payment the following month but will instead issue to Mrs.
Montesi 3,500 shares of our common stock; however, in no single year will we
issue to Mrs. Montesi more than 15,000 shares of common stock in lieu of cash
payments. If we close one or a series of related equity financings in the
aggregate amount of at least $1,000,000 over any 18-month period (the
"Financings"), we will pay Mrs. Montesi out of the proceeds of the Financings a
lump sum of $65,000 to reimburse her legal fees and expenses associated with the
Agreement and to compensate her for monthly payments not made with respect to
the period January 1, 2005 through April 1, 2005. If we undertake the
Financings, Mrs. Montesi may sell a portion of her shares as part of the
Financings (subject to a cap of 10% of the total number of shares sold in the
any Financing and a maximum of $1,000,000 in proceeds from all such sales). In
connection with any Financing, Mrs. Montesi will, if asked, sign a lock-up
agreement restricting her ability to sell additional shares of our common stock
for a period not to exceed 180 days after the Financing. The Agreement also
requires us to issue to Mrs. Montesi options to purchase 1,000,000 shares of our
common stock at a price of $1.09 per share, exercisable for a 10-year period.
The expiration date of the stock options currently held by Mrs. Montesi has been
extended to May 27, 2010.
We had
accounted for the Retirement Plan as a deferred compensation arrangement and had
accrued a liability with respect thereto of $3,245,000 at December 31, 2003 for
payments required to be made under the Retirement Plan. As a result of the
Agreement, the previously recorded liability of will be reduced by a total of
$2,707,750 to $537,250 (which amount represents the present value of the
estimated payments required to be made under the Agreement). No liability will
be recorded for the stock options granted to Mrs. Montesi under the Agreement,
as the exercise price of such options is equal to the market value of the
underlying common stock on the date of grant.
This
summary is qualified in its entirety by the terms of the Agreement, a copy of
which is filed herewith and incorporated by reference herein.
