ITEM 8.01 OTHER EVENTS.

Underwriting Agreement

On September 5, 2006, we entered into an underwriting agreement (the “Underwriting Agreement”) with Citigroup Global Markets Inc. (the “Underwriter”) pursuant to which we sold 8,264,463 shares of our common stock, par value $.001 per share, at $7.865 per share in an underwritten public offering. The sale of the shares closed on September 11, 2006. The sale of the shares was registered pursuant to our $100 million universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-113719). The net proceeds from this sale were approximately $64.7 million after deducting our estimated offering expenses of $310,000. We intend to use the net proceeds from the sale of our common stock for general corporate purposes, which may include: funding research, development, sales and marketing; increasing our working capital; reducing indebtedness; and capital expenditures. Pending the application of the net proceeds, we expect to invest the net proceeds primarily in U.S government securities and money market funds, as well as in investment-grade, interest-bearing securities.

The Underwriting Agreement is filed as Exhibit 1.1 to this Current Report on Form 8-K, and the description of the material terms of the Underwriting Agreement is qualified in its entirety by reference to such exhibit, and the Underwriting Agreement is incorporated herein by reference.

Patent Cross-License

On September 28, 2006, we entered into a patent cross license agreement with International Business Machines Corporation. Pursuant to the agreement, under which we paid certain cash consideration to IBM, each party granted to the other a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to such party’s patents that are entitled to a priority date on or before September 28, 2006, including all patents and patent applications in existence as of that date with limited exceptions. The license granted by IBM to us extends to all products other than general purpose data processing products and data storage devices that are primarily sold separately from other hardware. The license that we granted to IBM extends to all products other than digital media recorders and digital media recorder software. No license was granted, directly or by implication, to permit the combination of any product with any other item.
