Change in Directors or Principal Officers, Financial Statements and E


Item 5.02 - Departure of Directors or Certain Officers; Election of Directors; Appointment of Certain Officers; Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

On October 1, 2009, the Board of Directors filled a current vacancy on the Company's Board by the appointment of Estelle Lau as a director. Ms. Lau is deemed by the Board to be an independent director.

Ms. Lau has been a consultant for the past 10 years in the venture capital community focusing on cross-border investments in Asia, mainly in Chinese-speaking countries. She has served as General Counsel to pan-Asian venture funds, including CVM Capital and Crimson Capital. She has held the position of Vice President at 51Job, the leading provider of HR services in China listed on Nasdaq, serving as internal counsel and managing investor relations in the U.S. Ms. Lau also worked as an independent consultant at Kmart Corporation as Acting VP of Global Sourcing and Compliance. Most recently, she served as General Counsel and managed investor relations for Shine Media Acquisition Corporation. Ms. Lau was an Associate Professor of Law at SUNY Buffalo School of Law and has a B.A. in Sociology and Philosophy from Wellesley College, an M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology from the University of Chicago and a J.D. from Harvard Law School.

In connection with the appointment, the Company entered into its standard Board of Directors - Retainer Agreement (the "Retainer Agreement") with Ms. Lau. Pursuant to the terms of the Retainer Agreements, Ms. Lau has agreed to serve as a director until the earlier of the termination of the Retainer Agreement or the two year anniversary of the effective date thereof. In compensation for service on the Company's Board of Directors, Ms. Lau is entitled to receive an annual cash retainer of $30,000. In addition, Ms. Lau received options to purchase up to 60,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $1.22 per share. The term of the options is ten years and the options vest in eight equal installments on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 during the term. The retainer is paid on a quarterly basis during the term of the Retainer Agreement. The Retainer Agreement automatically renews for successive terms upon the director's re-election to the Board of Directors for the period of such term, unless the Board of Directors determines not to renew a Retainer Agreement in its sole discretion.

The Retainer Agreement automatically terminates upon the earlier to occur of (a) the death of the director, (b) the director's resignation or removal from, or failure to win election or re-election to, the Company's Board of Directors, or
(c) upon the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, in its sole discretion. In the event of termination, the director is entitled to receive (i) payment of the portion of the retainer for service on the Company's Board of Directors which has accrued to such director through the date of termination, and (ii) the number of options that are vested as of the date of termination. The unaccrued portion of the retainer and any unvested options as of the date of termination will be forfeited by the director upon termination of the Retainer Agreement. Finally, Ms. Lau has agreed not to compete with the Company during the term of the Retainer Agreement and for a period of six months thereafter.
