Item 1.01.    Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
 
On December 16, 2009, the Company entered into a Replacement Director Compensation Agreement and Mutual Release (the “Agreement”) with Rex Licklider, a director of the Company (the “Director”).  Under the terms of the Agreement, the Company agreed to pay the Director of an aggregate of 3,911 shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Replacement Shares”) from the Company’s 2006 Equity Incentive Plan as replacement for shares of common stock which Director was previously entitled to receive as compensation for his prior services as a director of the Company, but for which he never received the requisite share certificate and which were subsequently escheated to the California State Controller.  Each of the Company and the Director releases any claims against the other party in connection with Director’s right to the original shares of common stock and the escheatment of such shares.
 
The foregoing description of the Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the agreement, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1, and incorporated by reference.
