Mr. Semyon Dukach resigned as the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer on June 13, 2012, and on that same date the registrant’s board of directors appointed Richard T. Harrison to the position of Chief Executive Officer and Mr. Harrison accepted the appointment.


There are no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Harrison and any other persons pursuant to which he was appointed the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer. There is no family relationship between Mr. Harrison and any director, executive officer, or person nominated or chosen by the registrant to become a director or executive officer of the registrant.


The registrant has not entered into any transactions with Mr. Harrison that would require disclosure pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K under the Exchange Act.


Mr. Harrison, age 54, has served as our President and Chief Operating Officer since July 2010. Previously, Mr. Harrison was a Principal at Xactlyit, LLC, a consulting firm and was Vice President of Marketing at Computer Associates and held various executive level positions at Adlex, Verbind, Netcom, Motorola and Wang Labs.

In exchange for serving as the registrant’s Chief Executive Officer, pursuant to written agreement, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit 10.1, Mr. Harrison shall receive as compensation, among other things, a base salary of $100,000 per year, along with quarterly performance based bonuses. Mr. Harrison’s employment agreement has an effective date of June 1, 2012.


On June 13, 2012 the registrant’s board of directors re-appointed Mr. Semyon Dukach to the position of Chair of the Board of Directors, which is an executive position with the registrant, effective June 13, 2012.  Mr. Dukach accepted the appointment on that same date. Mr. Dukach shall serve as Chair of the Board of Directors until the next annual stockholder’s meeting or until his successor is duly appointed.


Mr. Dukach receives no compensation for serving as the registrant’s Chair of the Board of Directors and his existing oral employment agreement and annual salary of $100,000 per year is terminated, except that Mr. Dukach is entitled to reimbursement of reasonable business expenses in accordance with the registrant’s corporate policy and any health benefits the registrant offers its other employees.
