The agreement with Mr. Navickas provides that if (i) he is terminated other than for cause or upon his death or (ii) he resigns after a new chief executive officer begins employment with us or after a change of control occurs he is requested to remain as chief executive officer for a period of not more than three months, he will receive severance compensation equal to the remaining severance payments due under his employment agreement with us dated July 1, 2003 equal to a total of $187,500 plus $75,000 for each month (any fraction of a month worked will be pro rated) he serves as our chief executive officer. The maximum severance compensation Mr. Navickas will be entitled to receive will be $900,000. This agreement is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this current report. We also intend to enter into an indemnity agreement with Mr. Navickas in the form similar to the agreements we have with our other executive officers.
