Item 1.01.
Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement

On December 22, 2011, with the unanimous consent of the Board of Directors, the Company sold its land, building and building improvements, located in Wilmington, Massachusetts (the “Property”), to a private investor (the “Buyer”) for a purchase price of $2,000,000 pursuant to a Real Estate Purchase and Sale Contract as set forth in Exhibit 10.35 to this Form 8-K.  In connection with the sale of the Property, the Company also entered into a 15-year lease agreement with 229 Andover Street, LLC (the “Lessor”) with rent payments as set forth in Exhibit B to the Lease Agreement, included as Exhibit 10.36 to this Form 8-K.  The Lease Agreement was also secured with certain of the Company’s fixed assets.

In connection with the closing of this transaction, the Company received net proceeds of approximately $1,004,000 after repayment of principal and prepayment penalties of $899,000, as further discussed in Item 1.02 below, and transaction costs of approximately $97,000.  Of the $1,004,000 of net proceeds received, the Company placed $280,000 in escrow in satisfaction of the first year’s rent.

Copies of the Real Estate Purchase and Sale Contract and the Lease are filed as Exhibits 10.35 and 10.36, respectively, to this Form 8-K.

Item 1.02.
Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On July 7, 2011, the Company entered into a Commercial Real Estate Promissory Note in the principal amount of $800,000 (the “Note”) with Axiom Partners, LP as the lender (the “Lender”).  The Note had a two-year term, bearing interest at the rate of 15% per annum.  The Note provided for the monthly interest payments on the last calendar day of each month commencing on August 31, 2011.  A balloon payment of the principal balance of $800,000, plus any accrued and unpaid interest, was due upon the maturity of the Note on July 8, 2013.  The Note was secured by the Company’s land and building pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Note and a mortgage in favor of the Lender (the “Mortgage”).

On December 22, 2011, in connection with the transaction described in Item 1.01 above, the Company repaid the principal balance of $800,000, plus prepayment penalties in the approximate amount of $99,000, in full satisfaction of the Mortgage and any and all of its obligations to the Lender.
