Item 8.01 Other Events.

As previously reported, on April 25, 2011, our Chairman of the Board and Interim Chief Financial Officer, Nadine C. Smith, entered into a “Rule 10b5-1 Plan” to purchase shares of our common stock (the “April Plan”). The April Plan called for Ms. Smith to purchase up to 20,000 shares of our common stock per week at the prevailing market price (subject to a limit of $2.00 per share) over a period of up to twelve weeks, until a maximum of $200,000 worth of shares had been purchased. The purchases under the April Plan were intended be carried out within the safe-harbor requirements of Rule 10b-18 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, relating to purchases of an issuer’s securities by the issuer or certain affiliates of the issuer. The timing, volume, price and other limitations under Rule 10b-18 limited the number of shares purchased by Ms. Smith in any given week. Under the April Plan, Ms. Smith purchased a total of 34,700 shares of our common stock for an aggregate purchase price of $21,803.

ON July 28, 2011, Ms. Smith entered into a new “Rule 10b5-1 Plan” to purchase shares of our common stock (the “August Plan”). The August Plan calls for Ms. Smith to purchase additional shares of our common stock daily, commencing on August 1, 2011, at the prevailing market price (subject to a limit of $2.00 per share) over a period of up to twelve weeks, until a maximum of $ 175,000 worth of shares has been purchased. The purchases under the August Plan are intended be carried out within the safe-harbor requirements of Rule 10b-18. The timing, volume, price and other limitations under Rule 10b-18 may limit the number of shares purchased by Ms. Smith in any given week.
