Item 1.01. Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.
          On July 29, 2007, our wholly-owned subsidiary, TopSpin Medical (Israel) Ltd. (the “Subsidiary”), entered into a distribution agreement (the “Agreement”) with Johnson & Johnson Medical Israel, a Division of J – C Healthcare L.T.D. (the “Distributor”), wherein the Distributor was appointed as the exclusive distributor in Israel of an intravascular MRI catheter system developed by the Subsidiary used for imaging and characterizing the tissue composition of coronary plaque during a conventional cardiac catheterization procedure (the “Product”). The Distributor will purchase the Product from the Subsidiary and will market and sell the Product to customers located in Israel. The appointment of the Distributor as the exclusive distributor of the Product in Israel is subject to the Distributor meeting certain periodic sales targets.
          Under the terms of the Agreement, the Distributor has agreed to take certain marketing actions in connection with the Product and has agreed to mutually work with the Subsidiary in promoting clinical trials in Israel including to take part in funding clinical trials to collect long term information in the framework of Post Marketing Surveillance concerning the use of the Product in patients in Israel.
          Unless the Agreement is earlier terminated by one of the parties pursuant to the conditions set forth in the Agreement, the Agreement will automatically expire and terminate on July 29, 2010. The parties may mutually agree in writing to extend the term of the Agreement any time before July 29, 2010.
          The Distributor is a company that is controlled by Johnson & Johnson Inc., who owns Johnson & Johnson Development Corporation, who in turn beneficially owns five percent or more of the outstanding shares of our common stock.
