Each of the restricted stock units issued to the executive officers described above vest and become issuable in four equal annual installments beginning on August 10, 2006.

All of the stock options described above expire on September 1, 2013; however in the event of the employee’s termination of service except for death or disability, all vested and unexercised options expire upon the earlier to occur of 90 days from the date of termination or September 1, 2013. In addition, if any such employee is terminated other than for cause within two years after a change of control of the Company, all unvested options and restricted stock units become immediately vested.

Item 1.02

Termination of a Material Definitive Agreement

On September 5, 2006, the Company executed a Letter of Agreement with Orrin T. Colby, III and Cygnus Resources Inc. (the “Letter of Agreement”) regarding the Stock Acquisition Agreement executed between the same parties on August 1, 2003 (the “Stock Acquisition Agreement”). Under the terms of the Stock Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Colby purchased all of the stock of Cygnus Resources, Inc., which was a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company engaged in the business of a Professional Employer Organization. Mr. Colby had been employed by the Company in a management position with respect to the Cygnus business. The purchase price for the stock was to consist of contingent annual payments over a six year period based on Cygnus earnings calculated in accordance with the terms of the Stock Acquisition Agreement, not to exceed a total of $880,000. Because the Company believes that it is not likely that the financial results of Cygnus will result in any significant payments going forward, it has agreed to a payment by Mr. Colby of a lump sum of $12,000 in full satisfaction of the purchase price for the Cygnus Stock and termination of any contingent payment obligations going forward. Certain provisions of the Stock Acquisition Agreement, including indemnification survive the termination of the payment obligation.

The foregoing does not constitute a complete summary of the terms of the Letter of Agreement, and reference is made to the complete text, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

Item 5.02

Departure of Directors or Principal Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Principal Officers.

On August 31, 2006, Jose Ferreira, Jr., a member of the Company’s Board of Directors, resigned from his position on the Board, effective immediately in order to devote more time to his private business ventures.

BACKGROUND

The Parties listed above executed a Stock Acquisition Agreement dated August 1, 2003 (the “Acquisition Agreement”), pursuant to which NSE agreed to transfer to Mr. Colby all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Cygnus. The Acquisition Agreement provided that the purchase price for the stock would consist of annual payments for the years 2004 through 2009 calculated in accordance with the terms of the Acquisition Agreement. In addition, according to the terms of the Acquisition Agreement, Mr. Colby pledged and assigned to NSE, and granted a first priority security interest in, the Cygnus stock as collateral security for payment of the purchase price when due. In light of changing interests of the Parties, the Parties have agreed to modify the purchase price under the Acquisition Agreement, to terminate the pledge and security interest, and certain other actions.

Payment. Mr. Colby agrees to remit payment of the Purchase Price, as defined above, at the time of execution of this Agreement in cash, by check, or by wire transfer, and he acknowledges that effectiveness of this Agreement is conditioned upon such payment.

Release of Security Interest and Pledge. The Parties acknowledge that, as a result of the amendment to the Acquisition Agreement provided above, the previous pledge and security interest in the Cygnus Stock granted by Mr. Colby to NSE, and any other terms or obligations previously contained in Section 1.03 of the Acquisition Agreement (other than the new Purchase Price) are relinquished and terminated as of the effective date of this Agreement. NSE agrees to deliver the certificate(s) representing the Cygnus shares to Mr. Colby at the time of execution of this Agreement, along with the Assignment Separate from Certificate previously delivered by Mr. Colby to NSE, stamped “VOID”.

Continuing Effectiveness. As herein amended, the Acquisition Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, and delivery of a counterpart signature page hereto by facsimile shall be effective as an original, manually-signed counterpart.
