Item 1.01 - Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement.  

As disclosed on a Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 6, 2005, in connection with the Company’s acquisition of Picometrix, Inc. on May 2, 2005, we entered into four-year secured promissory notes (the “Notes”) payable to Robin Risser and Steven Williamson, the stockholders of Picometrix. The Notes are payable in four annual installments and bear interest at the annual rate of prime plus 1.0%. On May 1, 2008, the Company and Messrs. Risser and Williamson entered into amendments to the Notes to extend the due date for the third installment under each of the Notes (in the aggregate amount of $900,000) to December 1, 2008 (the “Amendments”).

Prior to entering into the Amendments, the transaction was reviewed and approved by the Company’s Audit Committee pursuant to the Company’s policies relating to the review and approval of related party transactions since Mr. Risser currently serves as the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Mr. Williamson currently serves as the Company’s Chief Technology Officer.

This summary of the Amendments does not purport to be complete and is subject to, and is qualified in its entirety by, reference to all of the provisions of the Notes, copies of which were filed with the Company’s Current Report on Form 8-K filed on May 6, 2005, and the provisions of the Amendments, copies of which are attached to this Current Report on Form 8-K as Exhibits 10.1 and 10.2 and incorporated by reference herein.
