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

 

On December 3, 2010, Richard E. Forkey, our then Chief Executive Officer, Joseph N. Forkey, our then Chief Scientific Officer and current Chief Executive Officer, and Joel N. Pitlor, our Director, agreed to make certain adjustments to their salaries and benefits (the “Compensation Agreements”).  As part of those Compensation Agreements, each individual agreed to convert his deferred salary into shares of our common stock.

 

On October 14, 2011, we amended the Compensation Agreements to extend the deadline by which we were required to issue the shares of common stock.
