Item 1.01  Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

 

On July 22, 2005 we entered into a Standby Equity Distribution Agreement (“SEDA”) with Cornell Capital Partners, L.P. (“Cornell”). Under the SEDA, we can require Cornell to purchase up to $4,000,000 of our common stock over a two-year period following the effective date of a registration covering the shares of our common stock to be sold to Cornell.  The SEDA transaction is described in further detail in our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 22, 2005.

 

In connection with the SEDA, we entered into an Escrow Agreement with an affiliate of Cornell.  A copy of this Escrow Agreement was filed as an exhibit to our Current Report on Form 8-K filed on July 22, 2005.  We have terminated this Escrow Agreement and substituted in its place a new Escrow Agreement dated as of September 22, 2005 with Baxter, Baker, Sidle, Conn & Jones, P. A., a law firm which represents us in connection with corporate matters, including the SEDA transaction.

 

A copy of the new Escrow Agreement is attached to this report as an exhibit.
