Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

The registrant and Challenger Discovery, LLC have executed a Third Amendment to Lease effective as of December 1, 2007. The Third Amendment amends the registrant’s Lease for its headquarters and manufacturing facility located at 2603 Challenger Tech Court, Orlando, Florida 32826. In accordance with the Third Amendment, the following material terms of the Lease were amended:

(a) The rentable area of the leased premises was reduced from 41,063 square feet to 21,557 square feet with a corresponding reduction in rent.

(b) The lease term was extended from November 30, 2008, to December 31, 2014, and minimum rental rates for the extension term were established based on annual increases of three percent. Additionally, there are two 3-year extension options exercisable by the registrant. The minimum rental rates for such additional extension options will be determined at the time an option is exercised and will be based on a “fair market rental rate” as determined in accordance with the Third Amendment.

(c) A fee in the aggregate amount of $150,000 is payable to the landlord in three installments of $50,000 each. The first installment was paid upon the execution of the Third Amendment. The second and third installments are payable on January 4, 2008, and February 1, 2008, respectively.
