Material Changes and Events
The Company was in breach of a Product Supply Agreement dated January 16, 2007, due to non-payment of invoices. Laserscope had the right to terminate the agreement as of June 22, 2007, which would have made all payments immediately due. The Letter Agreement entered on June 27, 2007, amended the terms to prevent immediate termination, contingent upon the Company's adherence to a weekly payment schedule.

- Termination Risk: If the Company fails to make a scheduled weekly payment, Laserscope retains the right to immediately terminate the Product Supply Agreement.
- Financing Contingency: The agreement allows for an earlier payoff date if the Company closes an equity financing.
- Deadline: All outstanding invoices must be paid in full by July 31, 2007, or upon the closing of equity financing.
- Operational Impact: Termination would result in immediate due dates for all payments, including final payments for raw materials and work in process inventory.
Investor Verification Checklist
- Verify whether the Company has made the required weekly payments of $400,000 since June 27, 2007.
- Confirm if the Company has successfully closed an equity financing to satisfy the debt prior to July 31, 2007.
- Assess the Company's current cash position and ability to meet the July 31, 2007 deadline without further financing.
- Review subsequent filings for any notice of termination of the Product Supply Agreement by Laserscope.
