ITEM 1.01 ENTRY INTO MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT.

On March 31, 2005, Langer, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Company") entered
into a settlement agreement and limited release (the "Settlement Agreement")
with its wholly owned subsidiary Silipos, Inc., a Delaware corporation
("Silipos"), SSL Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation ("SSL"), and LRC North
America, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Parent"). The Company previously
acquired Silipos from SSL on September 30, 2004 pursuant to the terms of the
Stock Purchase Agreement dated September 22, 2004 (the "Stock Purchase
Agreement") by and among the Company, Silipos, SSL and the Parent. Under the
terms of the Settlement Agreement, the parties exchanged mutual releases and
agreed to a $232,000 reduction in the purchase price previously paid by the
Company to SSL because Silipos did not satisfy certain minimum working capital
requirements as of the closing date of the acquisition pursuant to the Stock
Purchase Agreement.

The reduction to the purchase price is being satisfied by decreasing the
principal amount of a $7.5 million secured promissory note due March 31, 2006
(the "$7.5 Million Note"), which the Company issued to SSL in connection with
the acquisition of Silipos. The $7.5 Million Note has accordingly been amended
to reflect a principal reduction of $232,000. In addition, the $7.5 Million Note
was amended to reflect the Company's previously disclosed election, in
accordance with the terms of the note, to increase the principal amount,
effective as of April 1, 2005, by $1,000,000 rather than make an additional
payment of $500,000 by March 31, 2005. The $1,000,000 increase to the $7.5
Million Note is expected to be recorded as an additional interest expense. As
amended, the outstanding principal of the $7.5 Million Note is $8,268,000.

Under the terms of the Settlement Agreement, the parties also agreed to amend a
$3.0 million promissory note due December 31, 2009 ("$3.0 Million Note"), which
was also issued to SSL by the Company in connection with the acquisition of
Silipos. The $3.0 Million Note was amended to provide that the note will be
reduced by $500,000 if the $7.5 Million Note is repaid in full on or before May
31, 2005, and will be further reduced by an additional $500,000 if both the $3.0
Million Note and the $7.5 Million Note have been repaid in full on or before
March 31, 2006.
