PROPOSAL I
 
ADOPTION OF
2010 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
The Company’s 2010 Equity Compensation Plan ("the 2010 Plan") was adopted pursuant to the written consent of the Board of Directors and holders of a majority of the Company’s common stock including Series M preferred stock on a converted basis obtained as of June 29, 2010, effective on June 30, 2010.
 
Description of the 2010 Equity Incentive Plan
 
The following is a brief description of certain important features of the 2010 Plan, the full text of which is attached as Exhibit A. This summary is qualified in its entirety by reference to Exhibit A.
 
General. The 2010 Plan provides for any option, stock appreciation right, restricted stock, restricted stock unit, performance award, dividend equivalent, or other stock-based award to employees, directors and consultants of the Company and its affiliates.
 
Administration. The 2010 Plan shall be administered and interpreted by the Board of Directors or by a Committee appointed by the Board of Directors. If the Board of Directors administers the 2010 Plan, references to the “Committee” shall be deemed to refer to the Board of Directors. To the extent permitted by applicable law, the Committee may at any time delegate to one or more officers or directors of the Company some or all of its authority over the administration of the 2010 plan. Such delegation may be revoked at any time.
 
The Committee has the authority to administer and interpret the 2010 Plan, to determine the employees to whom awards will be made under the 2010 Plan and, subject to the terms of the 2010 Plan, the type and size of each award, the terms and conditions for vesting, cancellation and forfeiture of awards and the other features applicable to each award or type of award. The Committee may accelerate or defer the vesting or payment of awards, cancel or modify outstanding awards, waive any conditions or restrictions imposed with respect to awards of the stock issued pursuant to awards and make any and all other determinations that it deems appropriate with respect to the administration of the 2010 Plan, subject to the minimum vesting requirements of the 2010 Plan, the provisions of Sections 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code and an y applicable laws or exchange rules.
 
Eligibility. All employees, directors and consultants are eligible to receive awards under the 2010 Plan.  The definition of “employee” means any person including officers and directors of the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company. Neither service as a Director nor payment of a director’s fee by the Company will be sufficient to constitute “employment” by the Company. Participation is discretionary — awards are subject to approval by the Committee. Pursuant to the 2010 Plan, the Company is permitted to grant nonstatutory stock options, restricted stock, stock appreciation rights, performance shares, restricted stock units and other stock based awards to the employees, directors and consultants. However, incentive stock options may be granted only to employees.
 
Shares Subject to the Plan. The number of Shares available for granting awards under the 2010 Plan shall be (A) 6,000,000, plus (B) additional Shares as follows:  As of January 1 of each year, commencing with the year 2011 and ending with the year 2013, the aggregate number of Shares available for granting Awards under the Plan shall automatically increase by a number of Shares equal to the lesser of (x) 5% of the total number of Shares then outstanding or (y) 4,000,000 subject to certain adjustment.   

Shares of Company common stock issued in connection with awards under the 2010 Plan may be shares that are authorized but unissued, or previously issued shares that have been reacquired, or both.
 
Types of Awards. The following types of awards may be made under the 2010 Plan. All of the awards described below are subject to the conditions, limitations, restrictions, vesting and forfeiture provisions determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion, subject to such limitations as are provided in the plan. The number of shares subject to any award is also determined by the Committee, in its discretion.

Fair Market Value. Fair Market Value means shall mean, with respect to any property (including, without limitation, any shares or other securities), the fair market value of such property determined by such methods or procedures as shall be established from time to time by the Board or the Committee.
 
 
 

 
 
Option. Option shall mean an incentive stock option or a non-qualified stock option.

Stock Appreciation Rights. A Stock Appreciation Right granted under the Plan shall confer on the holder thereof a right to receive, upon exercise thereof, the excess of (1) the Fair Market Value of one Share on the date of exercise or, if the Board or the Committee shall so determine in the case of any such right other than one related to any Incentive Stock Option, at any time during a specified period before or after the date of exercise over (2) the grant price of the right as specified by the Board or the Committee.  Subject to the terms of the Plan, the grant price, term, methods of exercise, methods of settlement, and any other terms and conditions of any Stock Appreciation Right shall be as determined by the Board or the Committee.  The B oard and the Committee may impose such conditions or restrictions on the exercise of any Stock Appreciation Right as it may deem appropriate.

Restricted Stock. A restricted stock award is an award of outstanding shares of Company common stock that does not vest until after a specified period of time, or satisfaction of other vesting conditions as determined by the Committee, and which may be forfeited if conditions to vesting are not met. Participants generally receive dividend payments on the shares subject to their award during the vesting period (unless the awards are subject to performance-vesting criteria) and are also generally entitled to indicate a voting preference with respect to the shares underlying their awards. All shares underlying outstanding restricted stock awards are voted proportionately to the restricted shares for which voting instructions are received.
 
Restricted Stock Units.  Restricted Stock Units shall consist of a Restricted Stock, Performance Share or Performance Unit Award that the Administrator in its sole discretion permits to be paid out in installments or on a deferred basis, in accordance with rules and procedures established by the Administrator.
 
Performance Awards. Performance Awards may be granted to Employees, directors and consultants at any time and from time to time, as will be determined by the Administrator. The Administrator may set performance objectives based upon the achievement of Company-wide, divisional or individual goals, applicable federal or state laws, or any other basis determined by the Administrator in its discretion.
 
Dividend Equivalents. The Board and the Committee are hereby authorized to grant Awards under which the holders thereof shall be entitled to receive payments equivalent to dividends or interest with respect to a number of Shares determined by the Board or the Committee, and the Board and the Committee may provide that such amounts (if any) shall be deemed to have been reinvested in additional Shares or otherwise reinvested.  Subject to the terms of the 2010 Plan, such Awards may have such terms and conditions as the Board or the Committee shall determine.

Other Stock-based Awards. The Board and the Committee are authorized to grant such other Awards that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, Shares (including, without limitation, securities convertible into Shares), as are deemed by the Board or the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, provided, however, that such grants must comply with applicable law.  Subject to the terms of the 2010 Plan, the Board or the Committee shall determine the terms and conditions of such Awards.

Duration. The Board may amend, alter, suspend, discontinue, or terminate the Plan, including, without limitation, any amendment, alteration, suspension, discontinuation, or termination that would impair the rights of any Participant, or any other holder or beneficiary of any Award theretofore granted, without the consent of any share owner, participant of the 2010 Plan, other holder or beneficiary of an Award, or other Person. No Award shall be granted under the Plan more than 10 years after June 30, 2010.  However, unless otherwise expressly provided in an applicable Award Agreement, any Award theretofore granted may extend beyond such date, and the authority of the Board and the Committee to amend, alter, adjust, suspend, discontinue, or terminate any such Award, or to waive any conditions or rights under any such Award, and the authority of the Board to amend the Plan, shall extend beyond such date.

As of October 25, 2010, we have issued 4,240,000 options under the 2010 Plan, among which 100,000 options were forfeited due to the separation of two employees.

In addition, as of the Record Date, there are 4,397,768 warrants issued in connection with the April-May 2010 Private Placement and the September 2010 Private Placement which are exercisable into 4,397,768 shares of common stock.

The Purpose and Effect of the Approval of the Issuance of up to 7,581,615 Shares of Common Stock

In connection with the September 2010 Private Financing, we are under contractual obligation to potentially issue up to 7,581,615 shares of our common stock, including 5,400, 010  shares of our common stock issuable upon the conversion of our Series B preferred stock and 2,181,605 shares of our common stock issuable upon exercise of warrants ( the “Shares”). The warrant shares are comprised of (i) 810,002 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Series C warrants to purchase our common stock, (ii) 810,002  shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of Series D warrants to purchase our common stock and (iii) 561,601 shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of placement agent warrants  to purchase our common stock issued to TriPoint Global Equities, LLC , as placement ag ent in connection with the September 2010 Private Placement. However, pursuant to the conversion restriction and exercise restriction contained in the Series B preferred stock and the warrants issued in the September 2010 Private Financing, holders of Series B preferred stock and/or warrants cannot convert their preferred stock and/or exercise their warrants unless we have obtained Stockholder approval for the issuance of the Shares.

Conversion Restriction. According to the Certificate of Designation of Series B Preferred Stock, at no time may a holder of shares of Series B Preferred Stock convert shares of the Series B Preferred Stock if: (i) the Company has not obtained Stockholder Approval; or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would cause the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such holder and its affiliates at such time, result in such holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the the n issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time.

Exercise Restriction. According to the terms of Series C and Series D warrants, at no time may the holder exercise the warrant, in whole or in part, if: (i) the Company has not obtained Stockholder Approval; or (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued pursuant to such exercise would cause the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates at such time, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its affiliates at such time, result in the Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules thereunder) in excess of 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock outstanding at such time.

Stockholder Approval. As soon as possible following the closing of the September 2010 Private Financing, the Company is required to obtain Stockholder approval for the issuance of the Shares pursuant to the rules or regulations of Nasdaq Marketplace and prepare and file with the Commission a Schedule 14C - Information Statement as required by the applicable securities laws.  The Company is required to cause the Schedule 14C - Information Statement to be mailed to its stockholders as promptly as practicable thereafter.
 
Once we obtain the Stockholder Approval, 7,581,615 shares of common stock will be reserved for potential issuance of common stock upon the conversion of the Series B preferred stock and the exercise of the warrants issued in connection with the September 2010 Private Placement.

(e)
NO RIGHT TO EMPLOYMENT.  The grant of an Award shall not be construed as giving a Participant the right to remain an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate.  Further, the Company or an Affiliate may at any time terminate the service of any employee, director or consultant, free from any liability, or any claim under the Plan, unless otherwise expressly provided in the Plan or in any Award Agreement.

SEVERABILITY.  If any provision of the Plan or any Award is or becomes or is deemed to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, or as to any Person or Award, or would disqualify the Plan or any Award under any law deemed applicable by the Board or the Committee, such provision shall be construed or deemed amended to conform to applicable laws, or if it cannot be so construed or deemed amended without, in the determination of the Board or the Committee, materially altering the intent of the Plan or the Award, such provision shall be stricken as to such jurisdiction, Person, or Award, and the remainder of the Plan and any such Award shall remain in full force and effect.
