Item 8.01 Other Events.
On August 30, 2007, the Company accepted the surrender of 642,611 shares of the Companys
common stock by Mark Woodburn and Terry LaCore in payment of the principal and accrued interest on
a non-recourse promissory note to the Company for the principal amount of $2,500,000 (the Note).
The Note was executed and delivered to the Company on October 31, 2006, in connection with a
settlement agreement between the Company and Messrs. Woodburn and LaCore (the Settlement). It
bore interest at the rate of 6% per year and was secured by a pledge of 1,081,066 shares of the
Companys common stock.
As provided in the Note, the value of the surrendered shares for purposes of determining the
credit to be given against the principal and interest accrued on the Note was equal to the average
of the closing prices for the 20 consecutive trading days preceding the date the shares were
tendered for surrender. After the Companys acceptance of the surrendered shares, Messrs. Woodburn
and LaCore continue to own a total of 438,455 of the originally pledged shares (the Remaining
Shares). Pursuant to the Settlement, the Remaining Shares may not be sold, transferred or
conveyed to a third party before October 31, 2007. Prior to October 31, 2007, the Remaining Shares
will remain pledged to the Company to secure obligations of Messrs. Woodburn and LaCore under an
Indemnification Agreement executed and delivered on October 31, 2006, in connection with the
Settlement. While owned by Messrs. Woodburn and LaCore or their affiliates, the Remaining Shares
will remain subject to an irrevocable proxy and voting agreement in favor of the Companys Board of
Directors until October 31, 2009.
