(the “Company”) appointed Steve Signoff as the Company’s Chief Executive Officer.  Since October 2010, Mr. Signoff has been the Chief Executive Officer of Mobile USA, a New York-based mobile roaming company.  Between December 2007 and October 2010, Mr. Signoff was the Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for One Communications, a Boston-based leading competitive local exchange carrier that was acquired by EarthLink, Inc. in 2010.  Between June 2007 and February 2009, Mr. Signoff was the Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of IDPSi, a New York-based provider of two way caller identification protection service.  Between 1989 and September 2006, Mr. Signoff worked for Sprint Corporation, including as VP Strategic Marketing, Business Development, Alliances & Strategy (2002-2006), President – Spring Enterprise Mobility, Inc. (September 2005-May 2006), VP/General Manager of Sprint Europe (2001-2002), President (acting) of Sprint International (2000-2001), VP International Marketing & Channel Management (1999-2000), VP/General Manager of Puerto Rico and Hawaii (1999) and VP Strategic Business Development and Strategy (1998-1999).  Mr. Signoff holds a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Business from Avila University.

Effective August 1, 2011, the Company entered into an employment agreement (the “Agreement”) with Mr. Signoff to serve as Chief Executive Officer.  The Agreement can be terminated at any time by either party upon 60 days prior written notice.  The base salary under the Agreement is initially $330,000, which shall be paid in cash, shares of the Company’s common stock (“Common Stock”) and notes payable.  Mr. Signoff will receive an initial salary of at least $50,000 per annum in cash (“Cash Salary”), notes payable (the “Notes”) in an amount equal to the difference between $180,000 per annum (the “Target”) and the Cash Salary, and shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between the annual salary and the Target.  The notes will accrue interest at a rate of 4% per annum and payment of outstanding Notes will be done quarterly as funds become available, as determined by the Executive Committee of the Board of Directors (the “Executive Committee”).  The Company will pay $2,000 a month for one year for the rental of a condominium in Tulsa, Oklahoma, which amount will be counted as part of the Cash Salary.  The Company shall increase the amount of the Cash Salary as cash is available, as determined by the Executive Committee, until $330,000 per annum is paid.  After the calendar quarter when Mr. Signoff is paid at a rate of $330,000 per annum in cash, the annual salary will increase to $350,000 per annum, payable in cash.
