The description of Mr. Rais Chief Executive Officer Employment Agreement on page 14 should read as follows:
Mr. Rai signed a two-year Chief Executive Officer Employment Agreement with the Company on May 11, 2004. The term of the agreement automatically renews for successive one year terms beginning on May 11, 2006, unless either the Company or Mr. Rai gives the other written notice at least forty-five days before the renewal date of its desire not to renew the agreement. Mr. Rais employment agreement entitles him to receive twenty-four months severance if his employment is terminated by the Company without cause or by Mr. Rai for good reason, including a change in control of the Company.
