Although
not considered a principal operating officer of the Registrant, Leonardo Segatt,
the Brazilian General Manager of Agromarau Industria e Comercio Ltda., a
Brazilian Limited Liability Quota Company and the South American subsidiary
of
the Registrant, has resigned his position to pursue other family business
interests. However, Mr. Segatt will continue to assist the Registrant and
Agromarau in an active consulting capacity for at least the next two years,
has
agreed to broad non-competition restrictions on his activities and has made
a
substantial equity investment in the Registrant’s holding company. In all
material respects the separation was handled generally in accordance with the
prior agreement between Mr. Segatt and the Registrant filed as Exhibit 10.7
to
the Registrant’s Form 10-K for calendar year 2004 filed with the Commission on
April 15, 2005. Under the terms of this Agreement, the Registrant has succeeded
to Mr. Segatt’s former 15% interest in Agromarau and now owns, together with
another of its subsidiaries, 100% of that company. Mr. Segatt’s duties have been
assumed by Ingo Erhard.
