Explanatory Note
     This Amendment Number 3 to Form 8-K is being filed to disclose an amendment to the lease agreement on the building housing our principal executive offices and manufacturing facility.


Item 1.01 Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement
     On August 2, 2011 we executed a fourth amendment to the lease agreement between us and Carlson Real Estate Company covering the building housing our principal executive offices and manufacturing facility. The building consists of 21,362 square feet of offices, laboratories, and production areas. Our lease would have expired December 31, 2015 without the fourth amendment. The fourth amendment extends the lease for an additional term of five years, expiring December 31, 2020, and eliminates our right to cancel the lease on December 31, 2012. The amendment provides for monthly base rent of $13,422.46 in 2016, increasing approximately 2.5% each subsequent year during the extended term. The amendment also limits increases in controllable operating expenses to a maximum of 4% per year.

     The fourth amendment to the lease is filed as Exhibit 10.8.
