Item 8.01 Other Events.

On October 15, 2010, Douglas P. Baker, our Chief Executive Officer, adopted a pre-arranged stock selling plan, intended to qualify for the safe harbor under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Under the plan, subject to certain limitations: (a) up to 100,000 shares of our common stock acquirable upon the conversion of a note payable by Mr. Baker may be sold at specified market prices greater than or equal to $1.00 per share, (b) an additional 50,000 shares may be sold at specified market prices greater than or equal to $1.50 per share, (c) an additional 50,000 shares may be sold at specified market prices greater than or equal to $2.00 per share, (d) an additional 100,000 shares may be sold at specified market prices greater than or equal to $3.00 per share, and  (e) an additional 100,000 shares may be sold at specified market prices greater than or equal to $4.00 per share. Completion of this plan would result in the sale of a total of 400,000 shares at prices ranging from $1.00 to in excess of $4.00, and upon completion of the plan, Mr. Baker would still retain in excess of 100,000 shares and approximately 1.1 million options, so such sales would represent only approximately 25% of his ownership position.

Sales pursuant to this plan may begin on or after November 15, 2010. The plan will terminate on December 31, 2012, unless terminated sooner in accordance with the plan’s terms. No plan has been adopted for Mr. Baker’s remaining shares. Mr. Baker has informed us that any sales pursuant to this plan will comply with Rule 144.  Any actual sales under this plan will be publicly disclosed under Rule 16a-3.

Except as may be required by law, we do not undertake to report plans by other officers or directors of the Company, nor to report modifications, terminations, transactions or other activities under the plans adopted by the officer named above or the plan of any other officer or director.
