Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships with Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     On November 10, 2006, the Issuer entered into an Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the Filing Parties. The Agreement provides that if the Issuer undertakes, in its sole discretion, within one (1) year from the date of the Agreement, a tender or exchange offer for the Issuer’s Class C Preferred Stock, the Filing Parties will (i) tender or exchange an aggregate total of only 180,450 shares of the Class C Preferred Stock owned by the Filing Parties and (ii) waive their rights to all accrued and unpaid dividends on the Class C Preferred Stock tendered or exchanged. The obligations of the Filing Parties described in the foregoing clauses (i) and (ii) are subject to certain conditions, including: (a) the consideration to be paid for each share tendered or exchanged is to be 7.4 shares of Common Stock, (b) the Board of Directors of the issuer shall have received an opinion that the tender or exchange offer and the consideration therefor is fair to the stockholders of the Issuer, (c) the approval by the holders of the Common Stock and Class C Preferred Stock of certain amendments to the Certificate of Designations of the Class C Preferred Stock as described below and, if required by the rules of the AMEX, the approval by the holders of the Common Stock of the issuance of the shares of Common Stock pursuant to the transaction. As the beneficial and record of 340,900 shares of Class C Preferred Stock, the Filing Parties have the power to vote 68.3% of the total votes held by all holders of Class C Preferred Stock, which is sufficient to approve the Amendments on behalf of the Class C Preferred Stock.

     The Agreement also provides that the Filing Parties agree to vote their shares of the Issuer’s Common Stock and Class C Preferred Stock to amend the Certificate of Designations of the Class C Preferred Stock to (a) allow the Issuer to acquire shares of its Common Stock for a period of five years from the date of completion of the tender or exchange offer, without the approval of the holders of the Class C Preferred Stock, notwithstanding that accrued and unpaid dividends may exist with respect to the Class C Preferred Stock, and (b) provide that the existing right of the holders of Class C Preferred Stock to elect two directors to the Issuer’s Board of Directors when dividends on the Class C Preferred Stock are unpaid may be exercised only if and so long as at least 140,000 shares of Class C Preferred Stock remain issued and outstanding.

     The Certificate of Designations of the Class C Preferred Stock currently prohibits the Issuer from purchasing, redeeming or otherwise acquiring any shares of Common Stock or other securities ranking junior to the Class C Preferred Stock as to dividends and rights upon liquidation and provides that when dividends on the Class C Preferred Stock are in arrears and unpaid in an amount equal to at least six quarterly dividends the Class C Preferred Stock holders have the exclusive right to vote for and elect two additional directors during period the dividends remain in arrears.

     The foregoing is a summary of the material terms of the Agreement. The above discussion is qualified by reference to such copy of the Agreement. A copy of the Agreement is filed herewith as Exhibit 2.
