the Company&amp;#146;s shareholders approved its 2003 Stock Option and Incentive Plan (the &amp;#147;2003 Plan&amp;#148;). Pursuant to the
2003 Plan, the Company&amp;#146;s Board of Directors (or its committees and/or executive officers delegated by the Board of Directors)
may grant incentive and nonqualified stock options, restricted stock, and other stock-based awards to the Company&amp;#146;s employees,
officers, directors, consultants and advisors.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;As of June 30, 2013, there were 31,125 restricted shares of Common Stock
issued and options to purchase an aggregate of 82,125 shares of Common Stock outstanding under the 2003 Plan and none are available
for future grants due to the plan&amp;#146;s expiration.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-align: justify; text-indent: 9pt"&gt;&amp;#160;In May 2008,
the Company&amp;#146;s shareholders approved the 2008 Equity Compensation Plan (the &amp;#147;2008 Plan&amp;#148;). The 2008 Plan provides
for grants of incentive stock options to employees and nonqualified stock options and restricted stock to employees, consultants
and non-employee directors of the Company.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;In May 2013, the Company&amp;#146;s shareholders approved an amendment to the
2008 Plan to fix the maximum number of shares available under the 2008 Plan at 10,000,000 shares following shareholder approval
of a 1-for-10 reverse stock split effective June 7, 2013.&amp;#160;&amp;#160;As of June 30, 2013, there were 295,528 restricted shares
of Common Stock issued and options to purchase an aggregate of 531,278 shares of Common Stock outstanding under the 2008 Plan and
9,455,722 shares available for future grants.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style="font: 10pt/normal Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 0; text-indent: 0.5in"&gt;&amp;#160;&lt;/p&gt;
