Item 5.02 Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of
Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements
of Certain Officers.

	On May 13, 2009, we entered into an amended and restated
severance arrangement with Joseph Sciacca, our Chief Financial
Officer. This agreement provides severance benefits to Mr. Sciacca
under certain circumstances and remains in effect so long as we
continue to employ Mr. Sciacca. The agreement confirms that Mr.
Sciacca's employment is at will and provides for termination without
additional compensation in the event of death, disability,
resignation, retirement or termination for cause, referred to as the
excluded circumstances in this document. "Cause" is defined as "gross
negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, willful disregard of the Board
of Directors' direction or breach of a published company policy."

	Under the terms of the agreement, except in connection with a
change of control disposition, in the event that Mr. Sciacca's
employment is terminated other than in connection with an excluded
circumstance, Mr. Sciacca would be entitled to receive his then
current salary for a period of twelve months.

	Under the terms of the agreement, a "change of control
disposition" is generally deemed to occur if (i) 25% or more of the
voting power of our stock is acquired by another entity or (ii) there
is a sale of substantially all of our assets to another entity. In the
event that Mr. Sciacca's employment is terminated within one year of a
change of control disposition, other than in connection with an
excluded circumstance, Mr. Sciacca would be entitled to receive his
then current salary for a period of one year. In the event that Mr.
Sciacca's employment is terminated for any reason within ninety days
following a change of control disposition, Mr. Sciacca would be
entitled to receive an amount equal to one year's then current salary.
