Also on March 10, 2011, the Board of Directors adopted, subject to stockholder approval, the 2011 Employee, Director and Consultant Incentive Plan (the “2011 Incentive Plan”) and the 2011 Board Compensation Plan.

The 2011 Incentive Plan covers a maximum of six million (6,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (the “Common Stock”).  The 2011 Incentive Plan provides for the grant of cash awards, incentive and non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and other equity-based incentives to employees, directors and consultants.

The purpose of the 2011 Incentive Plan is to further and promote the interests of the Company and its shareholders by enabling the Company to attract, retain and motivate employees (including officers), directors and consultants, or those who will become employees, directors and consultants, and to align the interests of those individuals and the Company’s shareholders.  To do this, the 2011 Incentive Plan offers performance-based incentive awards and equity-based opportunities providing such employees, directors and consultants with a proprietary interest in maximizing the growth, profitability and overall success of the Company.

The Board of Directors will administer the 2011 Incentive Plan except to the extent the Board of Directors delegates its authority to a Committee.  Subject to the provisions of the 2011 Incentive Plan, the Board of Directors (or a Committee so delegated) is authorized to:  (i) interpret the provisions of the 2011 Incentive Plan and all stock rights and cash awards and make all rules and determinations which it deems necessary or advisable for the administration of the 2011 Incentive Plan; (ii) determine which employees, directors and consultants shall be granted stock rights and cash awards; (iii) determine the number of shares for which a stock right or stock rights shall be granted, provided, however, that in no event shall stock rights with respect to more than 1,000,000 shares be granted to any participant in any fiscal year; (iv) determine the amount of any cash award, provided, however the maximum payment which may become payable to a participant with respect to a cash award in any calendar year is $2,000,000; (v) specify the terms and conditions upon which stock rights and cash awards may be granted; and (vi) adopt any sub-plans applicable to residents of any specified jurisdiction as it deems necessary or appropriate in order to comply with or take advantage of any tax or other laws applicable to the Company or to 2011 Incentive Plan participants or to otherwise facilitate the administration of the 2011 Incentive Plan, which sub-plans may include additional restrictions or conditions applicable to cash awards, stock rights or shares issuable pursuant to a stock right, provided, however, that all such interpretations, rules, determinations, terms and conditions shall be made and prescribed in the context of not causing any adverse tax consequences under Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended and preserving the tax status under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended of those options which are designated as an incentive stock option.

The foregoing summary description of the 2011 Incentive Plan is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the 2011 Incentive Plan, which is attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1.

The 2011 Board Compensation Plan awards to each director the following:  (i) 250,000 shares of common stock (or options in the amount of 150% of the amount of shares) and warrants to purchase 125,000 shares of common stock.  The options and warrants will have an exercise price equal to $0.50 and will have a three (3) year term; (ii) $1,000 for each non-officer director that physically attends a meeting as well as traveling expenses; and (iii) $500 for each non-officer director on a telephonic meeting.
