Item 5.02 
Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

(e)           On June 16, 2011, at the Company’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Shareholders (the “Annual Meeting”), the shareholders approved an amendment to the Company’s 2004 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan (the “2004 Plan”) to increase the number of shares of common stock available for issuance thereunder by 2,000,000 shares. The 2004 Plan allows the Company, under the direction of the Compensation Committee, to make grants of stock options and restricted and unrestricted stock awards to employees, consultants and directors.  A description of the terms and conditions of the 2004 Plan is set forth in the Company’s definitive Proxy Statement on Schedule 14A filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 29, 2011 under the heading “Proposal 3: Approval of an Amendment to the 2004 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Plan,” and is incorporated herein by reference. Such description is qualified in its entirety by reference to the actual terms of the 2004 Plan, a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.1 to this Form 8-K/A.
