The First Silverman Amendment amended the Employment and Non-Compete Agreement dated November 11, 2010 between the Company and Mr. Silverman and provided for, among other things, the issuance of restricted stock of the Company to Mr. Silverman in the aggregate amount of approximately $3.4 million (the “Restricted Stock”) in lieu of contractually-committed cash salary and bonus for 2012 through 2015. The Restricted Stock was to be issued based upon the average daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days preceding the date of the First Silverman Amendment. The Restricted Stock was subject to registration rights and price protection provisions, and was to be granted upon the earlier of (i) a reverse stock split or (ii) the receipt of stockholder approval to increase the number of authorized shares of common stock of the Company to at least 7 million shares. The Restricted Stock was price protected through the date on which the registration statement registering such shares became effective, such that if the value of the Restricted Stock at such time was less than the average daily volume-weighted average price of the Company’s common stock for the five trading days preceding the date of the First Silverman Amendment, additional shares would be issued to subsidize any shortfall. On January 27, 2012, the Company issued the Restricted Stock to Mr. Silverman, totaling 0.7 million shares. On December 6, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved an Amended and Restated Employment, Consulting and Non-Compete Agreement (the “Amended and Restated Agreement”) between the Company and Mr. Silverman in connection with Mr. Silverman’s negotiated departure from the Board of Directors of the Company as of December 6, 2011 and his continued service as consultant to the Company until March 1, 2012. The Amended and Restated Agreement amends and restates the Employment and Non-Compete Agreement dated November 11, 2010 between the Company and Mr. Silverman and the First Silverman Amendment, and provides for, among other things, clarification of the terms of Mr. Silverman’s separation from the Company and continued vesting of Mr. Silverman’s unvested stock grants. The Company also granted Mr. Silverman a security interest in substantially all of the Company’s assets (the “Security Agreement”) until such time as the stock obligations under the Amended and Restated Agreement were fulfilled. Under the Amended and Restated Agreement, the Company agreed to satisfy certain contractual obligations totaling approximately $462,000, which was recorded in accrued liabilities at December 31, 2011 (the “Contractual Obligations”), through the issuance of 98,724 shares of common stock from the 2011 Plan to Mr. Silverman (the “Contractual Obligations Stock”) on January 2, 2012. On January 2, 2012, the Company issued the Contractual Obligations Stock to Mr. Silverman. The Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1 for resale of the Restricted Stock (the “Registration Statement”) with the SEC on January 31, 2012, as amended on February 2, 2012 and as further amended on February 13, 2012, March 28, 2012 and April 6, 2012. On March 23, 2012, the Board of Directors approved a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Agreement (the “First Amendment to Amended and Restated Employment Agreement”) between the Company and Mr. Silverman in connection with the elimination of any and all price protection provisions under the Amended and Restated Agreement and any other further registration rights obligations. Under the First Amendment to Amended and Restated Agreement, the Company agreed to issue 0.54 million shares of restricted stock of the Company to Mr. Silverman on March 23, 2012 (the “Price Protection Shares”). The Price Protection Shares were issued in order to (i) eliminate any and all price protection provisions under the Amended and Restated Agreement, including, but not limited to, any price protection provisions relating to a reverse stock split, and (ii) any further registration rights obligations.  The Price Protection Shares were included on a pre-effective amendment to the Registration Statement filed with the SEC on March 28, 2012, which Registration Statement went effective on April 10, 2012. Upon effectiveness of the Registration Statement, the Security Agreement terminated. On December 6, 2011, the Compensation Committee approved a First Amendment to Employment and Non-Compete Agreement (the “First Caragol Amendment”) between the Company and Mr. Caragol in connection with Mr. Caragol’s assumption of the position of Chairman of the Board of the Company effective December 6, 2011. The First Caragol Amendment amends the Employment and Non-Compete Agreement dated November 11, 2010, between the Company and Mr. Caragol and provides for, among other things, the elimination of any future guaranteed raises and bonuses, other than a 2011 bonus of $375,000 to be paid beginning January 1, 2012 in twelve (12) equal monthly payments. This bonus was not paid during 2012 and on January 8, 2013, $300,000 of such bonus was converted into 738,916 shares of our restricted common stock, which vest on January 1, 2016.  The remaining $75,000 remains deferred.  The First Caragol Amendment obligates the Company to grant to Mr. Caragol an aggregate of 0.5 million shares of restricted stock over a four-year period as follows: (i) 100,000 shares upon execution of the First Caragol Amendment, which shall vest on January 1, 2014, (ii) 100,000 shares on January 1, 2012, which shall vest on January 1, 2015, (iii) 100,000  shares on January 1, 2013, which shall vest on January 1, 2015, (iv) 100,000 shares on January 1, 2014, which shall vest on January 1, 2016, and (v) 100,000  shares on January 1, 2015, which shall vest on January 1, 2016. Stock compensation expense related to the restricted share grants totaled approximately $180,000 and $172,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. On February 21, 2013, the Board approved a Tax Equalization Plan to compensate board members for permanent out-of-pocket tax payments incurred by accepting equity compensation in lieu of cash consideration between 2010-2012. The total plan compensation is $510,000 in aggregate and will only be paid out such time as the Company has sufficient working capital. The Company expensed the compensation in the six months ended June 30, 2013. falsefalsefalsenonnum:textBlockItemTypenaThe entire disclosure for related party transactions.
