Item 1.01 Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.

On March 3, 2005, the Registrant and Michael Feigeles, Executive Vice President, entered into an agreement effective March 1, 2005, amending his executive employment agreement to extend the term of the employment agreement by one month from February 28, 2005 to March 31, 2005. On March 1, 2005, the Registrant paid Mr. Feigeles $145,833.34, which was the amount of bonus that he was entitled to under the original employment agreement for the part of fiscal year 2005 covered by the agreement (the “Original Bonus”). At the end of the extended term, Mr. Feigeles plans to leave his employment with the Registrant and pursue personal interests. The Registrant and Mr. Feigeles will enter into a separation and release agreement under which the Registrant will pay Mr. Feigeles (1) $10,000 and (2) a pro rata bonus under the Registrant’s Management Incentive Plan for the six-month period of his employment in fiscal year 2005 reduced by (a) the amount of the Original Bonus, (b) the non-compete payments, explained below and (c) $10,000. The pro rata bonus amount, if any, is based on the Registrant’s earnings per share, will be calculated after the end of fiscal year 2005 and will be paid at the end of October 2005. The separation and release agreement will include a six month restricted period during which Mr. Feigeles will be precluded from competing with the Registrant and engaging in related activities as specified in his original employment agreement during which period Mr. Feigeles will be paid an amount equal to his base salary.
