GENERAL


On February 24, 2011, the Company’s Board of Directors and a majority of Company’s holders of ‘Common Stock’ (as hereinafter defined)  delivered a written consent  in favor of the following agenda:

1. To authorize the acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the Company through the issuance of shares of common stock representing 65% of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the closing of the Acquisition, for 100% of Venture Industries, Inc.  (“VII”), a company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada, the Acquisition pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”).

6. To authorize the Company’s 2011 Equity Incentive Plan.
 

The Amendment will be effective on or about May 12, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) which will be no earlier than (20) days after this Information Statement is first mailed to our stockholders.   No further vote of our stockholders is required.  This approval could be obtained either by the written consent of the holders of a majority of our issued and outstanding voting securities, or it could be considered by our stockholders at a special stockholders' meeting convened for the specific purpose of approving the Corporate Actions.   In order to eliminate the costs and management time involved in holding a special meeting, our Board of Directors voted to utilize the written consent of the holders of a majority in interest of Company’s Common Stock.  The record date established by us for purposes of determining the number of outstanding shares of Company’s Stock entitled to vote was April 11, 2011 (“Record Date”).

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS ABOUT THE CHARTER AMENDMENT AND REINCORPORATION TO THE STATE OF DELAWARE


Q.  
Why did I receive this Information Statement?
 
A.  
Applicable laws require us to provide you information regarding the amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation  (“Charter Amendment(s)” and other corporate actions even though your vote is neither required nor requested for the Corporate Actions  to become effective.

Q.      What will I receive if the Charter Amendment is completed?
 
A.   Nothing.  The Charter Amendment will only modify the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

Q.  When do you expect the Charter Amendment to become effective
 
A. The Charter Amendment will become effective on May 12, 2011, the Effective Date, or later upon approval from Financial Industry Regulatory Authority ("FINRA") which shall be no earlier  than 20 days after this Information Statement is being sent to you.  A copy of the form of Charter Amendment is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit A.  The Charter Amendment to be filed with the New York Secretary of State will be effective no earlier  than 20 days after this Information Statement has been sent to you.

Q.  When will the reincorporation from New York to Delaware take place?
 
A.      Immediately after the effective date for the corporate actions in the Charter Amendment.

Q.      What is the purpose for reincorporation to the State of Delaware?
 
A.   Delaware is a nationally recognized leader in adopting and implementing comprehensive and flexible corporate laws.  
Additionally, the reincorporation may also make it easier to attract future candidates willing to serve on our Board because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law, including provisions relating to director indemnification.  

Q.      What will be the effect of my ownership of Company stock once the reincorporation to Delaware will take place?
 
 
A.   The affairs of the Company will cease to be governed by New York  corporation laws.  The Company (to be named VII Media Corporation) will become subject to Delaware corporation laws, as more fully described below;
   
 
 
·
the resulting Delaware corporation, or VII Media Corporation(“VII Media”) will (i) be deemed to be the same entity as the Company for all purposes under the laws of Delaware and New York, (ii) continue to have all of the rights, privileges and powers of the Company, (iii) continue to possess all of the properties of the Company, and (iv) continue to have all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of the Company.
 
 
·
each outstanding share of Company common stock will continue to be an outstanding share of VII Media common stock,;
 
 
·
each director and officer of Company will continue to hold their respective offices with VGTL DE.
 
 
 Q.
   Why am I not being asked to vote?

 
A.   The holders of a majority of the issued and outstanding shares of Company common stock have already approved the Charter Amendment pursuant to a written consent in lieu of a meeting.  Such approval, together with the approval of the Company's Board of Directors, is sufficient under New York law, and no further approval by our stockholders is required.

Q.                  What do I need to do now?

 
A.     Nothing.  This Information Statement is purely for your information and does not require or request you to do anything.

Q.                  Whom can I call with questions?

A.     If you have any questions about any of the actions to be taken by the Company, please contact us at 646-673-8665.

AGENDA #1

APPROVAL OF THE ACQUISTION AND AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION

On February 24, 2011, our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved the Acquisition of Venture Industries, Inc. and the amendment to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

1.  
The acquisition (the “Acquisition”) by the Company, through the issuance of shares of Company common stock representing 65% of the Company’s common stock issued and outstanding immediately following the closing of the Acquisition, for 100% of Venture Industries, Inc.  (“VII”), a company organized under the laws of the State of Nevada.  The Acquisition is being made pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange between VGTel, Inc. and Venture Industries, Inc. (“Exchange Agreement”).

2.  
The authorization of Company’s name change to “VII Media Corporation” The primary purpose of the name change is to better represent the Company’s business. The name change to VII Media Corporation relates to the Company’s newly acquired wholly owned subsidiary which is named “Venture Industries, Inc.”   Consequently, our Board of Directors believes that this  name change is in our best interest,  as it best reflects the Company’s operations going forward.  

3.  
The authorization to increase to the authorized common shares par value $.0001 of Company’s Common Stock..

4.  
Effect of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.  The Company’s current Certificate of Incorporation authorizes the Company to issue 200,000,000 shares of Common Stock.  As a result of the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, the Company will be authorized to issue, up to 500,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share.  The terms of the additional shares of Common Stock will be identical to those of the currently outstanding shares of Common Stock. However, because holders of Common stock have no preemptive rights to purchase or subscribe for any authorized but unissued shares of stock of the Company, if and when the Board of Directors authorizes the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock or preferred stock, such increased authorization will dilute and reduce the current stockholders' respective percentage ownership interest.   The relative rights and limitations of the shares of Common Stock will remain unchanged under the Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation.  The Company believes that the increase in authorized Common Stock would provide the Company greater flexibility with respect to the Company’s capital structure for such purposes as additional equity financing, stock based acquisitions, present and future employee benefit programs and other corporate purposes.

Effective Date of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation

The Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as attached hereto as Appendix A will be effective May 12, 2011 or at such later date as approved by FINRA, and upon the filing of the same with the Secretary of State of New York.
 

5.  
On February 24, 2011, the approval by the Board of Directors to effect a 8-for-1 forward stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of Company's Common Stock (the “Forward Stock Split”), was ratified and approved by the written consent of the Board of Directors and a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.   

Purposes of the Forward Split

The Forward Stock Split was effectuated based on market conditions and upon a determination by our Board of Directors, and as approved by the stockholders, that the Forward Stock Split was in our best interests of Company and its stockholders.  In our judgment the Forward Stock Split will result in an increase in our trading float of shares of the Common Stock available for sale resulting in facilitation of investor liquidity and trading volume potential. The intent of the Forward Stock Split is to increase the marketability of Company’s Common Stock.

Effects of Forward Stock Split

After the Effective Date of the Forward Stock Split, stockholders holding one share of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive eight (8) shares of Common Stock.  Based on the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date, after the Effective Date of the Forward Stock Split, there will be approximately 217,828,576  shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding. The shares issued pursuant to the Forward Stock Split will be fully paid and non-assessable.  All shares issued as a result of the Forward Stock Split will have the same par value, voting rights and other rights as the Common Stock prior to the Forward Stock Split. Stockholders do not have preemptive rights to acquire additional shares of Common Stock.   The Forward Stock Split will not affect any stockholder’s proportional equity interest in Company in relation to other stockholder or rights, preferences, privileges or priorities.

Fractional Shares

No fractional shares of Company’s Common Stock will be issued as a result of the Forward Stock Split.  In the event the proposed Forward Stock Split leaves a shareholder with a fraction of a share, the number of shares due to the stockholder shall be rounded up to the next whole share.

Effective Date of Forward Stock Split

The Forward Stock Split shall be effective on May 12, 2011 after the filing of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation as attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 with the Secretary of State of New York (at least 21 days after the mailing of this Information Statement), the Effective Date.  Thereafter, the Company will obtain a new CUSIP number for the Common Stock.  The effective day for trading purposes of the Common Stock may be later than the Effective Date as determined by the FINRA.

No Exchange of Stock Certificates

The Forward Stock Split will take place on the Effective Date without any action on the part of the holders of the Common Stock and without regard to current certificates representing shares of Common Stock being physically surrendered for certificates representing the post-forward split shares of Common Stock.  It will not be necessary for stockholders to exchange their existing stock certificates. Certificates for the additional shares of Common Stock to be issued to the stockholders in accordance with the Forward Stock Split shall be mailed to stockholders without any action on the part of the stockholders as soon as practical following the filing and effectiveness of Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation, increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.



 


SUMMARY OF CORPORATE ACTIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS BY
 THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS


In accordance with Article 5, Section 502, Article 6, Section 615, Article 8 Section 807, Article 9 Section 903, of the Business Corporation Law of the State of New York, the following actions were taken based upon the approval of the Company's Board of Directors and the written consent of a majority of the holders of the Company’s common stock.   A copy of the Joint Written Consent of the Board of Directors and the majority of the shareholders is incorporated herein as Exhibit 10.2.


CERTIFICATE OF AMENDMENT TO THE COMPANY’S CERTIFICATE OF INCORPORATION
 
On February 24, 2011, our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders approved, and recommended that the shareholders of the Company approve the amendments to the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (“Charter Amendment(s)”).  The Charter Amendment is reflected in the form of Amendment to the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A, and incorporated herein by reference.

Authorization of Name Change
 
On February 24, 2011, the Board of Directors adopted a resolution declaring it advisable to amend Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to affect the name change.   Our Board of Directors further directed that the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation be submitted for consideration by our majority shareholders.  By written consent dated as of February 24, 2011, the Board of Directors and the Majority Shareholders approved and adopted resolutions to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the name change.

Authorization of Increase in Number of Common Stock
 
On February 24, 2011, our Board of Directors adopted a resolution declaring it advisable to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to effect the authorized hare Increase.  Our Board of Directors further directed that the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation be submitted for consideration by our majority shareholders.  By written consent dated as of February 24, 2011, the Board of Directors and the Majority Shareholders approved and adopted resolutions to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to reflect the Authorized Share Increase.

Authorization of Forward Stock Split
 
On February 24, 2011, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution declaring it advisable to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to affect a Forward Split.  Our Board of Directors further directed that the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation be submitted for consideration by our majority shareholders.  By written consent dated as of February 24, 2011, of all the Board of Directors and the Majority Shareholders approved and adopted resolutions to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation to approve the Forward Split.


Effective Time of the Charter Amendment
 
We intend to file, as soon as practicable on or after the twentieth (20th) day after this Information Statement is sent to our shareholders, an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation effectuating the creation of the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of New York. The Charter Amendment to Company Certificate of Incorporation will become effective at the close of business on the date the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation is accepted for filing by the Secretary of State of New York.  It is presently contemplated that such filing will be made approximately twenty (20) days from the date that this Information Statement is sent to Company’s shareholders. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation is attached to this Information Statement as Appendix A.  The text of the Certificate of Amendment of the Certificate of Incorporation is subject to modification to include such changes as may be required by the New York Secretary of State to effectuate the Charter Amendment.

 
The full text of the Charter Amendment is reflected in the form of Charter Amendment which is attached as Exhibit 10.1 to this information statement.  New York corporation law permits holders of a majority of the voting power to take shareholder action by written consent if the issuer’s certificate of incorporation authorizes such action. Company’s Certificate of Incorporation authorizes shareholder action by written consent.  Accordingly, the Company will not hold a meeting of its shareholders to consider or vote upon the amendments of the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation

Pursuant to the rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), an information statement must be sent to the holders of voting stock who do not sign the written consent at least 20 days prior to the effective date of the action.  This notice, which is being sent to all holders of record on April 21.  2011, is intended to serve as the information statement required by the Exchange Act.
 
Possible Anti-Takeover Effect

In addition to financing purposes, the Company could also issue shares of Common Stock or preferred stock that may, depending on the terms of such series, make more difficult or discourage an attempt to obtain control of the Company by means of a merger, tender offer, proxy contest or other means.  When, in the judgment of the Board of Directors, this action will be in the best interest of the stockholders and the Company, such shares could be used to create voting or other impediments or to discourage persons seeking to gain control of the Company.   Such shares also could be privately placed with purchasers favorable to the Board of Directors in opposing such action.  In addition, the Board of Directors could authorize holders of a series of Common Stock or preferred stock to vote either separately as a class or with the holders of the Company's Common Stock, on any merger, sale or exchange of assets by the Company or any other extraordinary corporate transaction.  The existence of the additional authorized shares could have the effect of discouraging unsolicited takeover attempts.  The issuance of new shares also could be used to dilute the stock ownership of a person or entity seeking to obtain control of the Company should the Board of Directors consider the action of such entity or person not to be in the best interest of the shareholders of the Company.  The issuance of new shares also could be used to entrench current management or deter an attempt to replace the Board of Directors by diluting the number or rights of shares held by individuals seeking to control the Company by obtaining a certain number of seats on the Board of Directors.

 AGENDA # 2
 
APPROVAL OF THE REINCORPORATION OF THE CORPORATION FROM THE STATE OF NEW YORK TO THE STATE OF DELAWARE

On February 24, 2011  our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved the reincorporation from the State of New York to the State of Delaware.

Authorization for Reincorporation

On February 24, 2011, our Board of Directors unanimously adopted a resolution declaring it advisable to reincorporate the Company from the State of New York to the State of Delaware.  The reincorporation will be effected by VGTel a New York Corporation’s  merger with and into a wholly owned Delaware subsidiary of the Company organized in the name of VII Media Corporation a Delaware Corporation that will be created for the sole purpose of the reincorporation.  The reincorporation will take place immediately after the Effective Date for the foregoing corporate actions and will be the final step to concluding the acquisition and reincorporation into the State of Delaware.  By written consent dated as of February 24, 2011, the Majority Shareholders approved the reincorporation.

Effective Date of Reincorporation

The Certificate of Incorporation as attached hereto as Exhibit 10.4 will be effective May 12, 2011.

Effects of the Reincorporation

The affairs of Company will cease to be governed by the New York Business Corporation Laws.  The Company will become subject to Delaware corporation laws, as more fully described below;
   
  
·
the resulting Delaware corporation, or VGTL DE will (i) be deemed to be the same entity as Company for all purposes under the laws of Delaware, (ii) continue to have all of the rights, privileges and powers of Company,  (iii) continue to possess all of the properties of Company , and (iv) continue to have all of the debts, liabilities and obligations of Company.
 
each director and officer of Company will continue to hold their respective offices with VTGL DE.
 
Reasons for the Reincorporation
 
Delaware is a nationally recognized leader in adopting and implementing comprehensive and flexible corporate laws.  The Delaware General Corporate Law (“DGCL”) is frequently revised and updated to accommodate changing legal and business needs and is more comprehensive, widely used and interpreted than other state corporate laws, including the Business Corporate Law of the State of New York.
 
In addition, Delaware courts, including the Court of Chancery and the Delaware Supreme Court, are highly regarded for their considerable expertise in dealing with corporate legal issues and for producing a substantial body of case law construing the DGCL, with multiple cases concerning areas that New York  courts have not considered.  Because the judicial system is based largely on legal precedents, the abundance of Delaware case law should serve to enhance the relative clarity and predictability of many areas of corporate law, which should offer added advantages to the Company by allowing our Board and management to make corporate decisions and take corporate actions with greater assurance as to the validity and consequences of those decisions and actions.
 
The Reincorporation may also make it easier to attract future candidates willing to serve on our Board because many such candidates are already familiar with Delaware corporate law, including provisions relating to director indemnification, from their past business experience. 
 
 Comparison of VII Media Corporation Stockholders’ Rights Before and After the Reincorporation
 
Because of differences between the NYBCL and the DGCL, the Reincorporation will effect certain changes in the rights of VII Media Corporation’s stockholders.  Summarized below are the most significant provisions of the NY BCL and DGCL, along with the differences between the rights of the stockholders of VII Media Corporation immediately before and immediately after the Reincorporation that will be the result of the differences between the NY BCL and the DGCL and the differences between VII Media Corporation existing New York Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, on the one hand, and the Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and the Delaware By laws, on the other hand.  The summary below is not an exhaustive list of all differences or a complete description of the differences described, and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the NYBCL, the DGCL, VII Media Corporation’s previous New York Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws, the VII Media Corporation’s new Delaware Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws.  Copies of VII Media Corporation’s previous and new Certificate of Incorporation and By-laws have been filed or incorporated by reference as exhibits.
 
Indemnification of Officers, Directors and Employees.
 
Under Section 145 of the DGCL, a corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or a person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by the person if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  In the case of an action brought by or in the right of a corporation, the corporation may indemnify a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation (or a person who is or was serving at the request of the corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise) against expenses (including attorneys’ fees) actually and reasonably incurred by him if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of any claim, issue or matter as to which such person shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation unless and only to the extent a court finds that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnification for such expenses as the court shall deem proper.  The indemnification provisions of the DGCL require indemnification of a director or officer who has been successful on the merits in defense of any action, suit or proceeding that he was a party to by virtue of the fact that he is or was a director or officer of the corporation.
 
Under Section 722 of the NYBCL, a corporation may indemnify its directors and officers made, or threatened to be made, a party to any action or proceeding related to service as a director or officer, except for shareholder derivative suits, if the director or officer acted in good faith and for a purpose that he or she reasonably believed to be in, or, in the case of service to another corporation or enterprise, not opposed to, the best interests of the corporation and, in addition in criminal proceedings, had no reasonable cause to believe his or her conduct was unlawful.  In the case of shareholder derivative suits, the corporation may indemnify a director or officer if he or she acted in good faith for a purpose that he or she reasonably believed to be in or, in the case of service to another corporation or enterprise, not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, except that no indemnification may be made in respect of (i) a threatened action, or a pending action that is settled or otherwise disposed of or (ii) any claim, issue or matter as to which such individual has been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless, and only to the extent, that the court in which the action was brought or, if no action was brought, any court of competent jurisdiction, determines, upon application, that, in view of all the circumstances of the case, the individual is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity for the portion of the settlement amount and expenses as the court deems proper.
 
Any individual who has been successful on the merits or otherwise in the defense of a civil or criminal action or proceeding will be entitled to indemnification.  Except as provided in the preceding sentence, unless ordered by a court pursuant to Section 724 of the NYBCL, any indemnification under the NYBCL as described in the immediately preceding paragraph may be made only if, pursuant to Section 723 of the NYBCL, indemnification is authorized in the specific case and after a finding that the director or officer met the requisite standard of conduct by the disinterested directors if a quorum is available, or, if the quorum so directs or is unavailable, by (i) the board of directors upon the written opinion of independent legal counsel or (ii) the shareholders
 
Anti-Takeover Provisions.
 
Under the DGCL, a corporation is prohibited from engaging in any business combination with an interested stockholder for a period of three years from the date on which the stockholder first becomes an interested stockholder unless:

each outstanding share of Company common stock will continue to be an outstanding share of VGTL DE common stock, and each outstanding option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of Company common stock will continue to be an outstanding option, warrant or other right to acquire shares of VGTL DE common stock;
 
 
·
 
 
prior to the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the board of directors approves the business combination or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder;
 
upon the completion of the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans; or
     
 
the business combination is approved by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder at a meeting.
 
with respect to the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation;
     
 
with respect to a merger or consolidation by a corporation the shares of which either are listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or are held of record by more than 2,000 holders, if the terms of the merger or consolidation allow the stockholders to receive only shares of the surviving corporation or shares of any other corporation that either are listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or are held of record by more than 2,000 holders, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares; or
 
to stockholders of the corporation surviving a merger if no vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation is required to approve the merger and if some other conditions are met.
 
prior to the stockholder becoming an interested stockholder, the board of directors approves the business combination or the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder;
 
 
upon the completion of the transaction in which the stockholder became an interested stockholder, the interested stockholder owns at least 85% of the voting stock of the corporation other than shares held by directors who are also officers and certain employee stock plans; or
     
 
the business combination is approved by the board of directors and by the affirmative vote of two-thirds of the outstanding voting stock not owned by the interested stockholder at a meeting.
 
The DGCL defines the term “business combination” to include transactions such as mergers, consolidations,  transfers of 15% or more of the assets of the corporation or, with certain exceptions, transactions that result in stock of the corporation being issued or transferred to the interested stockholder.  The DGCL defines the term “interested stockholder” generally as any person who (together with affiliates and associates) owns (or in certain cases, within the past three years owned) 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of the corporation.  A corporation can expressly elect not to be governed by the DGCL’s business combination provisions in its certificate of incorporation or bylaws, but VII Media Corporation has not done so in its new Delaware Certificate of Incorporation.
 
Section 912 of the NYBCL generally provides that a New York corporation may not engage in a business combination with an interested shareholder for a period of five years following the interested shareholder’s becoming such.  Such a business combination would be permitted where it is approved by the board of directors before the interested shareholder’s becoming such.  Covered business combinations include certain mergers and consolidations, dispositions of assets or stock, plans for liquidation or dissolution, reclassifications of securities, recapitalizations and similar transactions.  An interested shareholder is generally a shareholder owning at least 20% of a corporation’s outstanding voting stock.  In addition, New York corporations may not engage at any time with any interested shareholder in a business combination other than:  (i) a business combination approved by the board of directors before the interested shareholder acquired a 20% or more interest in the corporation, or where the interested shareholder’s acquisition of its 20% interest was  approved  in advance by the board of directors; (ii) a business combination approved by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting stock not beneficially owned by the interested shareholder at a meeting called for that purpose no earlier than five years after the interested shareholder acquired its 20% interest; or (iii) a business combination in which the interested shareholder pays a formula price designed to ensure that all other shareholders receive at least the highest price per share that is paid by the interested shareholder and that meets certain other requirements.
 
A corporation may opt out of the interested shareholder provisions of Section 912 by expressly electing not to be governed by such provisions in its by-laws, provided, that any such provision must be approved by the affirmative vote of a majority of  the outstanding voting stock of such corporation and is subject to further conditions.  VII Media Corporation’s previous New York by-laws do not contain any provisions electing not to be governed by Section 912.
 
Stockholder Approval of a Merger.
 
Under the DGCL, a merger must be approved by the board of directors and by a majority (unless the certificate of incorporation requires a higher percentage) of the outstanding stock of the corporation entitled to vote.  However, no vote of stockholders of a constituent corporation surviving a merger is required (unless the corporation provides otherwise in its certificate of incorporation) if:  (i) the merger agreement does not amend such constituent corporation’s certificate of incorporation; (ii) each share of stock of such constituent corporation outstanding immediately before the merger is to be an identical outstanding or treasury share of the surviving corporation after the merger; and (iii) the number of shares to be issued by the surviving corporation in the merger does not exceed 20% of the shares of such constituent corporation outstanding immediately before the merger.
 
Under Section 903 of the NYBCL, the consummation by VII Media Corporation, as previously incorporated in New York, of a merger or consolidation requires the approval of the board of directors and  a majority of the votes of all outstanding shares entitled to vote thereon.
 
Stockholder Action Without A Meeting.
 
Under the DGCL, unless otherwise provided in a corporation’s certificate of incorporation, any action that may be taken at a meeting of stockholders may be taken without a meeting, without prior notice and without a vote if the holders of outstanding stock, having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize such action, consent in writing.
 
Under New York law, whenever shareholders are required or permitted to take any action by vote, such action may, in lieu of a meeting, be taken by unanimous written consent of holders of all outstanding shares entitled to vote on such action.  If the certificate of incorporation so permits, any such action may be taken by written consent of the holders of outstanding shares having not less than the minimum number of votes that would be necessary to authorize or take such action at a meeting at which all shares entitled to vote thereon were present and voted.  
 
Dissenters’ Rights.
 
 Under the DGCL, a stockholder of a corporation participating in certain major corporate transactions may, under varying circumstances, be entitled to appraisal rights pursuant to which the stockholder may receive cash in the amount of the fair market value of his or her shares in lieu of the consideration he or she would otherwise receive in the transaction.  Unless a corporation’s certificate of incorporation provides otherwise, these appraisal rights are not available:
 
 
with respect to the sale, lease or exchange of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation;
     
 
with respect to a merger or consolidation by a corporation the shares of which either are listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or are held of record by more than 2,000 holders, if the terms of the merger or consolidation allow the stockholders to receive only shares of the surviving corporation or shares of any other corporation that either are listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. or are held of record by more than 2,000 holders, plus cash in lieu of fractional shares; or
 
 
to stockholders of the corporation surviving a merger if no vote of the stockholders of the surviving corporation is required to approve the merger and if some other conditions are met.
 
Under New York law, shareholders may, under certain circumstances, exercise a right of dissent from certain limited corporate actions and obtain payment for the fair value of their shares.  For example, subject to certain exceptions, dissenters’ rights are available under New York law to any shareholder of a constituent corporation in the event of a merger if such shareholder is entitled to vote upon the merger or if the corporation is a subsidiary that is merged with its parent.  One of the exceptions under New York law to the general rule described in the preceding sentence, that a shareholder has dissenters’ rights with respect to a merger if such shareholder is entitled to vote upon the merger, is that, under New York law, a shareholder does not have dissenters’ rights with respect to a merger if, on the record date, the stock held by such shareholder is listed on a national securities exchange or designated as a national market system security on an interdealer quotation system by the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.  
 
Shareholders who desire to exercise their dissenters’ rights must satisfy all of the conditions and requirements set forth in the NYBCL in order to maintain these rights and obtain any payment due in respect of the exercise of these rights.
 
Dividends.
 
Under the DGCL a corporation can pay dividends out of statutory surplus, or in case there is no such surplus, from net profits if, as and when declared by the board of directors.  
 
Under New York law, a corporation may declare and pay dividends or make other distributions, except when the corporation is currently insolvent or would thereby be made insolvent, or when the declaration, payment or distribution would be contrary to any restrictions contained in the certificate of incorporation.  
 
Changes as a Result of Reincorporation
 
The  Reincorporation will effect a change in the legal domicile of Company and other changes of a legal nature.  The Reincorporation is not expected to affect any of Company’s material contracts with any third parties, and Company’s rights and obligations under such material contractual arrangements will continue as rights and obligations of VGTL DE.  The Reincorporation itself will not result in any change in headquarters, business, jobs, management, location of any of Company’s offices or facilities, number of employees, assets, liabilities or net worth (other than as a result of the costs incident to the Reincorporation) of Company.  Further, each director and officer of Company will continue to hold their respective offices with VGTL DE and the subsidiaries of Company immediately prior to the Reincorporation will be the subsidiaries of VGTL DE immediately after the Reincorporation.
 
The Plan of Merger
 
The Reincorporation will be effected pursuant to the Agreement of Plan of Merger (“Plan of Merger”) authorized by the Board of Directors for with written consent has been delivered by the majority of shareholders  of Company.  The Plan of Merger provides that Company will convert into a Delaware corporation and will be subject to all of the provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (“DGCL”).  By virtue of the merger, all of the rights, privileges and powers of Company , all property owned by Company, all debts due to Company and all other causes of action belonging to Company  immediately prior to the merger will remain vested in VGTL DE following the merger.  In addition, by virtue of the merger, all debts, liabilities and duties of Company immediately prior to the merger will remain attached to VGTL DE following the merger.  VGTL DE will remain as the same entity following the merger.
 
 
Our Board will cause the Reincorporation to be effected as soon as practicable thereafter.  However, the Reincorporation may be delayed by our Board or the Plan of Merger may be terminated and abandoned by action of our Board at any time prior to the effective time of the Reincorporation, whether before or after the approval by Company’s shareholders, if our Board determines for any reason that such delay or termination would be in the best interests of Company and its shareholders.   Reincorporation would become effective after May 12, 2011 of the foregoing corporate actions and  upon the filing (and acceptance thereof by the New York Secretary of State and the Delaware Secretary of State, as applicable) of the New York Articles of Merger and the Delaware Certificate of Merger.
 
Company‘s shareholders will not be required to exchange their Company stock certificates for new VGTL De stock certificates.  Following the effective time of the Reincorporation, any Company stock certificates submitted to VGTL DE for transfer, whether pursuant to a sale or otherwise, will automatically be exchanged for VGTL DE stock certificates.  Company shareholders should not destroy any stock certificate(s) and should not submit any certificate(s) to Company unless and until requested to do so.
 
 
 

 AGENDA # 3
 
APPROVAL OF THE COMPANY’S 2011 EQUITY INCENTIVE PLAN
 
On February 24, 2011, our Board of Directors, believing it to be in the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, approved the 2011 Equity Incentive Plan (“Plan”).
 
The Plan reserves 10,000,000 shares of common stock for issuance in accordance with the Plan’s terms.  

The purpose of the Plan is to enable us to offer our employees, officers, directors and consultants whose past, present and/or potential contributions to us and our subsidiaries have been, are or will be important to our success, an opportunity to acquire a proprietary interest in the Company. The various types of long-term incentive awards that may be provided under the Plan are intended to enable us to respond to changes in practices, tax laws, accounting regulations and the size and diversity of our business.
 
A summary of the principal features of the Plan is provided below, but is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the Plan, which is attached to this Information Statement as Exhibit 10.6.  The capitalized terms, if not defined in this Information statement,  are defined as in the Plan.
 
Administration
 
The Plan is administered by the Plan committee (“Committee”) which shall consist of either  (i) the Board of Directors of the Company or (ii) or a Committee of the Board of Directors designated to administer the Plan which is comprised solely of 2 or more outside directors all of whom are “outside directors” within the meaning of the regulations issued under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”).
 
Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Committee determines, among other things, the persons to whom from time to time awards may be granted, the specific type of awards to be granted, the number of shares subject to each award, share prices, any restrictions or limitations on the awards, and any vesting, exchange, deferral, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions related to the awards.
 
Stock Subject to the Plan
 
If any shares are subject to an award that is forfeited, settled in cash or expires, any unissued shares covered by such award will be available for issuance under the Plan.  If a holder pays the exercise price of a stock option by surrendering any previously owned shares or arranges to have the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to cover the withholding tax liability associated with the stock option exercise, then, in the Committee’s discretion, the number of shares available under the Plan may be increased by the lesser of (i) the number of shares surrendered and shares used to pay taxes and (ii) the number of shares purchased under the stock option.
 
Under the Plan, on a change in the number of shares of common stock as a result of a dividend on shares of common stock payable in shares of common stock, common stock forward split or reverse split, combination or exchange of shares of common stock or other extraordinary or unusual event that results in a change in the shares of common stock as a whole, the Committee shall determine, in its sole discretion, whether the terms of the outstanding award require adjustment.

Eligibility
 
Awards may be granted under the Plan to officers, directors employees and consultants who are deemed to have rendered, or to be able to render significant services to us or our subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed, or to have the potential to contribute, to our success.
 
Types of Awards
 
Options.  The Plan provides both for “incentive” stock options as defined in Section 422 of the Code, and for options not qualifying as incentive options, both of which may be granted with any other award under the Plan. The Committee determines the exercise price per share of common stock purchasable under an incentive or non-qualified stock option, which may not be less than 100% of the fair market value on the day of the grant or, if greater, the par value of a share of common stock. However, the exercise price of an incentive stock option granted to a person possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock may not be less than 110% of the fair market value on the date of grant. The aggregate fair market value of all shares of common stock with respect to which incentive stock options are exercisable by a participant for the first time during any calendar year (under all of our Plans), measured at the date of the grant, may not exceed $100,000 or such other amount as may be subsequently specified under the Code or the regulations thereunder.
 
An incentive stock option may only be granted within a ten-year period beginning January 1, 2011 and may only be exercised within ten years from the date of the grant, or within five years in the case of an incentive stock option granted to a person who, at the time of the grant, owns common stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of our stock. Subject to any limitations or conditions the Committee may impose, stock options may be exercised, in whole or in part, at any time during the term of the stock option by giving written notice of exercise to us specifying the number of shares of common stock to be purchased. The notice must be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price, either in cash or, if provided in the agreement, in our securities or in combination of the two or such other means which the committee determines are consistent with the Plan’s purpose and applicable law.
 
Generally, stock options granted under the Plan may not be transferred other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and all stock options are exercisable during the holder’s lifetime, or in the event of legal incapacity or incompetency, the holder’s guardian or legal representative. However, a holder, with the approval of the Committee, may transfer a non-qualified stock option by gift, for no consideration, to a family member of the holder, by domestic relations order to a family member of the holder or by transfer to an entity in which more than 50% of the voting interests are owned by family members of the holder or the holder, in exchange for an interest in that entity.
 
Generally, if the holder is an employee, no stock options granted under the Plan may be exercised by the holder unless he or she is employed by us or our subsidiaries at the time of the exercise and has been so employed continuously from the time the stock options were granted. However, in the event the holder’s employment is terminated due to disability, the holder may still exercise his or her vested stock options for a period of one year or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may determine, from the date of termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the stock option, whichever period is shorter.  Similarly, should a holder die while employed by us or one of our subsidiaries, his or her legal representative or legatee under his or her will may exercise the decedent holder’s vested stock options for a period of one year from the date of his or her death, or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may determine or until the expiration of the stated term of the stock option, whichever period is shorter. If the holder’s employment is terminated due to normal retirement, the holder may still exercise his or her vested stock options for a period of one year from the date of termination or until the expiration of the stated term of the stock option, whichever period is shorter. If the holder’s employment is terminated for any reason other than death, disability or normal retirement, the stock option will automatically terminate, except that if the holder’s employment is terminated without cause, then the portion of any stock option that is vested on the date of termination may be exercised for the lesser of three months after termination of employment, or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may determine but not beyond the balance of the stock option’s term.
 
The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, offer to repurchase a stock option previously granted, based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the holder at the time that such offer is made.

Stock Appreciation Rights. Under the Plan, stock appreciation rights may be granted to participants who have been, or are being, granted stock options under the Plan as a means of allowing the participants to exercise their stock options without the need to pay the exercise price in cash. In conjunction with non-qualified stock options, stock appreciation rights may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of the non-qualified stock options. In conjunction with incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights may be granted only at the time of the grant of the incentive stock options. A stock appreciation right entitles the holder to receive a number of shares of common stock having a fair market value equal to the excess fair market value of one share of common stock over the exercise price of the related stock option, multiplied by the number of shares subject to the stock appreciation rights. The granting of a stock appreciation right will not affect the number of shares of common stock available for awards under the Plan. The number of shares available for awards under the Plan will, however, be reduced by the number of shares of common stock acquirable upon exercise of the stock option to which the stock appreciation right relates.
 
Restricted Stock.  Under the Plan, shares of restricted stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other awards granted under the Plan. The Committee determines the persons to whom grants of restricted stock are made, the number of shares to be awarded, the price if any to be paid for the restricted stock by the person receiving the stock from us, the time or times within which awards of restricted stock may be subject to forfeiture, the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof, and all other terms and conditions of the restricted stock awards.
  
Restricted stock awarded under the Plan may not be sold, exchanged, assigned, transferred, pledged, encumbered or otherwise disposed of, other than to us, during the applicable restriction period. In order to enforce these restrictions, the Plan requires that all shares of restricted stock awarded to the holder remain in our physical custody until the restrictions have terminated and all vesting requirements with respect to the restricted stock have been fulfilled. We will retain custody of all dividends and distributions made or declared with respect to the restricted stock during the restriction period. A breach of any restriction regarding the restricted stock will cause a forfeiture of the restricted stock and any retained distributions. Except for the foregoing restrictions, the holder will, even during the restriction period, have all of the rights of a shareholder, including the right to vote the shares.
 
Other Stock-Based Awards.  Under the Plan, other stock-based awards may be granted, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on, or related to, shares of common stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan. These other stock-based awards may be in the form of purchase rights, shares of common stock awarded that are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures or other rights convertible into shares of common stock and awards valued by reference to the value of securities of, or the performance of, one of our subsidiaries. These other stock-based awards may include performance shares or options, whose award is tied to specific performance criteria. These other stock-based awards may be awarded either alone, in addition to, or in tandem with any other awards under the Plan or any of our other plans.
 
Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability
 
If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires the ownership of stock of the company that, together with the stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or combined voting power of the stock of our company, and our board of directors does not authorize or otherwise approve such acquisition, then the vesting periods of any and all stock options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan shall be accelerated and all such stock options and awards will immediately and entirely vest, and the respective holders thereof will have the immediate right to purchase and/or receive any and all common stock subject to such stock options and awards on the terms set forth in the Plan and the respective agreements respecting such stock options and awards. An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which we acquire our stock in exchange for property is not treated as an acquisition of stock for the foregoing purposes.
 
The Committee may, in the event of an acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, together with acquisitions during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons, of assets from us that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of our company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions, or if any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires the ownership of stock of our company that, together with the stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or combined voting power of the stock of our company, which has been approved by our board of directors, (i) accelerate the vesting of any and all stock options and other awards granted and outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) require a holder of any award granted under the Plan to relinquish such award to us upon the tender by us to the holder of cash in an amount equal to the repurchase value of such award. For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value our assets, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.

Notwithstanding any provisions of the Plan or any award granted thereunder to the contrary, no acceleration shall occur with respect to any award to the extent such acceleration would cause the Plan or an award granted thereunder to fail to comply with Section 409A of the Code.
  
Other Limitations
 
The Committee may not modify or amend any outstanding option or stock appreciation right to reduce the exercise price of such option or stock appreciation right, as applicable, below the exercise price as of the date of grant of such option or stock appreciation right. In addition, no option or stock appreciation right may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of an option or stock appreciation right or other award having a higher exercise price.
 
 Withholding Taxes
 
Upon the exercise of any award granted under the Plan, the holder may be required to remit to Company an amount sufficient to satisfy all federal, state and local withholding tax requirements prior to delivery of any certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock.
 
Amendments
 
Subject to the approval of the Board, where required, the Committee may at any time, and from time to time, amend the Plan, provided that no amendment will be made that would impair the rights of a holder under any agreement entered into pursuant to the Plan without the holder’s consent (except to the extent necessary to comply with Section 409A of the Code). In addition, the Committee may not increase the shares available under the Plan, increase the individual limits on awards, allow for an exercise price below fair market value, permit the repricing of options or stock appreciation rights, or adopt any other amendment that would require shareholder approval.
 
Federal Income Tax Consequences
 
The material U.S. federal income tax consequences of awards under the Plan, based on the current provisions of the Code and the regulations thereunder, with respect to employees who are subject to U.S. income tax are as follows:
 
The grant of an option to an employee will have no tax consequences to the employee or to the Company or its subsidiaries or affiliates. In general, upon the exercise of an incentive stock option (“ISO”), the employee will not recognize income, and the employer will not be entitled to a tax deduction.  However, the excess of the acquired shares’ fair market value on the exercise date over the exercise price is included in the employee’s income for purposes of the alternative minimum tax.  When an employee disposes of ISO shares, the difference between the exercise price and the amount realized by the employee will, in general, constitute capital gain or loss, as the case may be.  However, if the employee fails to hold the ISO shares for more than one year after exercising the ISO and for more than two years after the grant of the ISO:  (i) the portion of any gain realized by the employee upon the disposition of the shares that does not exceed the excess of the fair market value of the shares on the exercise date over the exercise price generally will be treated as ordinary income, (ii) the balance of any gain or any loss will be treated as a capital gain or loss, and (iii) the employer generally will be entitled to a tax deduction equal to the amount of ordinary income recognized by the employee.  If an employee exercises an ISO more than three months after his termination of employment with the Company and any subsidiary in which the Company owns at least 50% of the voting power (or one year after his termination of employment if the reason for the termination is disability), the option will be treated for tax purposes as a non-qualified stock option, as described below.
 
In general, upon the exercise of a non-qualified stock option, the employee will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of the acquired shares’ fair market value on the exercise date over the exercise price, and the employer generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount.
 
With respect to other awards that are settled either in cash or in shares that are transferable or are not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the employee will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of (a) the cash or the fair market value of any shares received (determined as of the date of settlement) over (b) the amount, if any, paid for the shares by the employee, and the employer generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount.
 
In the case of an award to an employee that is settled in shares that are nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, the employee generally will recognize ordinary income equal to the excess of (a) the fair market value of the shares received (determined as of the date on which the shares become transferable or not subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture, whichever occurs first) over (b) the amount, if any, paid for the shares by the employee, and the employer generally will be entitled to a tax deduction in the same amount.
 
An employee whose shares are both nontransferable and subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture may elect under Section 83(b) of the Code to recognize income when the shares are received, rather than upon the expiration of the transfer.  A participant may make a Section 83(b) election, within 30 days of the transfer of the restricted stock.  If a participant makes an election and thereafter forfeits the shares, no ordinary loss deduction will be allowed. The forfeiture will be treated as a sale or exchange upon which there is realized loss equal to the excess, if any, of the consideration paid for the shares over the amount realized on such forfeiture.  The loss will be a capital loss if the shares are capital assets.  If a participant makes an election under Section 83(b), the holding period will commence on the day after the date of transfer and the tax basis will equal the fair market value of shares, as determined without regard to the restrictions, on the date of transfer.
   
 
No Further Action is Required
 
No other votes are necessary or required.  The Company anticipates that the stockholder consent described in this Information Statement will become effective, for securities law purposes, approximately twenty (20) days after mailing of this Information Statement.

CHANGE IN CONTROL

On February 24, 2011 we executed an Agreement and Plan of Share Exchange (“Exchange Agreement”) with Venture Industries, Inc.

The closing of the transaction took place on March 30, 2011.

 (a)  Pursuant to the Exchange Agreement, on the close of business on February 24, 2011 the sole Director Joseph Indovina, resigned  from his positions as Chief Executive Officer, President, Treasurer, Chief Financial Officer and sole Director of Company.   There was no disagreement between Mr. Indovina and our  Company’s policies or procedures.

On March 30. 2011 our Board took action to appoint Kirk McDonald as Chairman of the Board and Lori Dente as Chief Financial Officer and Director to hold office until the next annual meeting of the stockholders and until their respective successors shall have been duly elected and qualified or as otherwise provided in our Bylaws, such appointment to become effective on the tenth day following the filing of this Schedule 14F-1 with the SEC and its mailing to our stockholders.

Lawrence G. Harris is President and a Director and a co-founder of the Company. Prior to co-founding the Company, Mr. Harris was the Chief Executive Officer and co-founder of Ansible Mobile from 2007 to 2010, where he focused Ansible on delivering integrated creative, production and media services, mobile strategy and experience planning, and measurable results for brands and their digital agencies.  Prior to co-founding Ansible, Mr. Harris served as Executive Vice President and Director of Integrated Marketing for Draft from 2004 to 2007, where he formed and led the global team for CA and he led the Facebook Collaborative team.  Before joining Draft, Larry co-founded and led the award-winning, fully-integrated, digital arm of Foote, Cone and Belding.

Mr. Harris is a member of the Board of Directors of two non-for-profit organizations, New Yorkers for Children and The MacDowell Colony (in New Hampshire).

Her previous positions included General Manager of This Old House Ventures, General Manager of the Fortune Money Group and Assistant Controller, Revenue Finance.  Ms. Dente is qualified to serve as a director based on her extensive financial experience.

 
Involvement in Certain Legal Proceedings
 
 
None of the directors has, during the past ten years:
 
(a)  
Had any bankruptcy petition filed by or against any business of which such person was a general partner or executive officer either at the time of the bankruptcy or within two years prior to that time;
 
(b)

Family Relationships
 
There are no family relationships among any of our officers or directors with the exception of Director Lori Dente who is the sister of Frank C. Magliato, President of Saddle River Associates, Inc., an affiliate who owns 14.2% of the outstanding shares of the Company.

Director Independence
 
There are no members of the Board of Directors who qualify as an “independent” director under the applicable definition of the Nasdaq Global Market (“Nasdaq”) listing standards although the Company’s securities are not currently traded on an exchange or on Nasdaq which would require that the Board of Directors include a majority of directors that are “independent.
 
Other Directorships
 
None of our directors hold any other directorships in any company with a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act or subject to the requirements of section 15(d) of such Exchange Act or any company registered as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
 
Board Meetings and Committees; Annual Meeting Attendance
 
We did not hold any regular or special meetings of our Board of Directors during the period from December 7, 2010 (commencement of operations) to January 31, 2011, as all business was conducted telephonically and documented as written actions signed by all directors. We do not currently maintain separate audit, nominating or compensation committees. When necessary, the entire Board of Directors performs the tasks that would be required of those committees.

Nominations to the Board of Directors
Our directors take a critical role in guiding our strategic direction and overseeing  the management of the Company.  Board of Director candidates are considered based upon various criteria, such as their broad-based business and professional skills and experiences, a global business and social perspective, concern for the long-term interests of the stockholders, diversity, and personal integrity and judgment.  Accordingly, we seek to attract and retain highly qualified directors.

In carrying out its responsibilities, the Board of Directors will consider candidates suggested by stockholders.  If a stockholder wishes to formally place a candidate's name in nomination, however, such stockholder must do so in accordance with the provisions of the Company's Bylaws.
 
Board Leadership Structure and Role on Risk Oversight
 
Currently Lawrence G. Harris is our Chief Executive Officer and has been appointed as Director by Joseph Indovina who has resigned from his positions as Chief Executive Officer and Director on February 24, 2011.  The resignations of Joseph Indovina as Director and the naming of Lawrence G. Harris as a Director will take effect on the tenth day following the mailing by the Company of this  Information Statement that complies with the requirements of Rule 14f-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  


 
14

 

At present, we have determined this leadership structure is appropriate for the Company due to our small size and limited operations and resources.  As a result, no policy exists requiring the combination or separation of leadership roles and our governing documents do not mandate a particular structure. This has allowed our Board of Directors the flexibility to establish the most appropriate structure for the Company at any given time.

Subsequent to the forthcoming effective date of the change in directors, it is anticipated that Lawrence G. Harris will serve as our Chief Executive Officer and Director, Lori Dente will serve as our Chief Financial Officer and Director.  The proposed directors will continue to evaluate the Company’s leadership structure and modify such structure as appropriate based on the size, resources, and operations of the Company.

 
Executive Compensation
 
Our named Chief Executive Officer (“NCEO”) is Lawrence G. Harris, who is also a  President and Director.
 
Through March 30, 2011, our NCEO did not receive any significant form of compensation from the Company.  We expect to have an employment agreement in place for the NCEO, as well as other compensation plans, such as share based plans and a 401(k), available to the NEO as well as our other employees in the near future.

Director compensation
We did not pay any compensation to our Board of Directors through March 30, 2011.

Legal Proceedings:

Our management knows of no material existing or pending legal proceedings or claims against us, nor are we involved as a plaintiff in any material proceeding or pending litigation. To our knowledge, none of our directors, officers or affiliates, and no owner of record or beneficial owner of more than five percent (5%) of our securities, or any associate of any such director, officer or security holder is a party adverse to us or has a material interest adverse to us in reference to pending litigation.


SECTION 16(a) BENEFICIAL OWNERSHIP REPORTING COMPLIANCE
 
Compliance with Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires our officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of our common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than ten percent stockholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish us with copies of all Section 16 (a) forms they file. Based solely on a review of the copies of such forms furnished to us during, and with respect to, the year ending December 31, 2010, other than described below, we believe that during such fiscal year all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to our officers, directors and greater than ten percent beneficial owners were in compliance with Section 16(a).
 
Based solely upon a review of Forms 3, 4, and 5 delivered to us as filed with the SEC during our most recent fiscal year, none of our executive officers and directors, and persons who own more than 10% of our common stock failed to timely file the reports required pursuant to Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act, other than, Ron Kallus, Niva Kallus, Israel Hason our former officers and directors, who failed to file any Form 3 or 4 with the SEC for our predecessor.

            2.2.                            Powers of Committee.   The Committee shall have full authority to award, pursuant to the terms of the Plan: (i) Stock Options, (ii) Stock Appreciation Rights, (iii) Restricted Stock, and/or (iv) Other Stock-Based Awards. For purposes of illustration and not of limitation, the Committee shall have the authority (subject to the express provisions of this Plan):
                                  (a)          to select the officers, employees, directors and consultants of the Company or any Subsidiary to whom Stock Options, Stock Appreciation Rights, Restricted Stock and/or Other Stock-Based Awards may from time to time be awarded hereunder.
                                  (b)          to determine the terms and conditions, not inconsistent with the terms of the Plan, of any Award granted hereunder (including, but not limited to, number of shares, share exercise price or types of consideration paid upon exercise of such options, such as other securities of the Company or other property, any restrictions or limitations, and any vesting, exchange, surrender, cancellation, acceleration, termination, exercise or forfeiture provisions, as the Committee shall determine);
                                  (c)          to determine any specified performance goals or such other factors or criteria which need to be attained for the vesting of an Award granted hereunder;
                                  (d)          to determine the terms and conditions under which Awards granted hereunder are to operate on a tandem basis and/or in conjunction with or apart from other equity awarded under this Plan and cash and non-cash Awards made by the Company or any Subsidiary outside of this Plan; and
                                  (e)            to make payments and distributions with respect to Awards (i.e., to “settle” Awards) through cash payments in an amount equal to the Repurchase Value.
The Committee may not modify or amend any outstanding Option or Stock Appreciation Right to reduce the exercise price of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right, as applicable, below the exercise price as of the date of grant of such Option or Stock Appreciation Right.  In addition, no Option or Stock Appreciation Right may be granted in exchange for, or in connection with, the cancellation or surrender of an Option or Stock Appreciation Right or other Award having a higher exercise price.
           2.3.      Interpretation of Plan.
                                  (a)          Committee Authority.   Subject to Section 11, the Committee shall have the authority to adopt, alter and repeal such administrative rules, guidelines and practices governing the Plan as it shall from time to time deem advisable to interpret the terms and provisions of the Plan and any award issued under the Plan (and to determine the form and substance of all agreements relating thereto), and to otherwise supervise the administration of the Plan.   Subject to Section 10, all decisions made by the Committee pursuant to the provisions of the Plan shall be made in the Committee’s sole discretion and shall be final and binding upon all persons, including the Company, its Subsidiaries and Holders.
                                  (b)           Incentive Stock Options.   Anything in the Plan to the contrary notwithstanding, no term or provision of the Plan relating to Incentive Stock Options (including but not limited to Stock Appreciation rights granted in conjunction with an Incentive Stock Option) or any Agreement providing for Incentive Stock Options shall be interpreted, amended or altered, nor shall any discretion or authority granted under the Plan be so exercised, so as to disqualify the Plan under Section 422 of the Code or, without the consent of the Holders affected, to disqualify any Incentive Stock Option under such Section 422.
 
Section 3.                                Stock Subject to Plan.
            3.1.      Number of Shares.   Subject to the last sentence of Section 7.1, the total number of shares of Common Stock reserved and available for issuance under the Plan shall be 10,000,000 shares and is subject to adjustment as provided in Section 3.2.  Shares of Common Stock under the Plan (“Shares”) may consist, in whole or in part, of authorized and unissued shares or treasury shares. If any shares of Common Stock that have been granted pursuant to a Stock Option cease to be subject to a Stock Option, or if any shares of Common Stock that are subject to any Stock Appreciation Right, Restricted Stock award or Other Stock-Based Award granted hereunder are forfeited, or any such award otherwise terminates without a payment being made to the Holder in the form of Common Stock, such shares shall again be available for distribution in connection with future grants and Awards under the Plan.  If a Holder pays the exercise price of a Stock Option by surrendering any previously owned shares and/or arranges to have the appropriate number of shares otherwise issuable upon exercise withheld to cover the withholding tax liability associated with the Stock Option exercise, then, in the Committee’s discretion, the number of shares available under the Plan may be increased by the lesser of (i) the number of such surrendered shares and shares used to pay taxes; and (ii) the number of shares purchased under such Stock Option.
            3.2.      Adjustment Upon Changes in Capitalization, Etc.   In the event of any common stock dividend payable on shares of Common Stock, Common Stock forward split or reverse split, combination or exchange of shares of Common Stock, or other extraordinary or unusual event which results in a change in the underlying shares of Common Stock of the Company as a whole, such change shall apply to any and all grants made to any beneficiary which grant date precedes the date which gives rise to such event,  except as to stock dividends which shall only apply to grants of options already exercised, in order to prevent dilution or enlargement of the benefits available under the Plan (including number of shares subject to the award and the exercise price) or the aggregate number of shares reserved for issuance under the Plan. Any such adjustments will be made by the Committee, whose determination will be final, binding and conclusive.
 
Section 4.                                 Eligibility.

            Awards may be made or granted to employees, officers, directors and consultants who are deemed to have rendered or to be able to render significant services to the Company or its Subsidiaries and who are deemed to have contributed or to have the potential to contribute to the success of the Company and which recipients are qualified to receive options under the regulations governing Form S-8 registration statements under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (“Securities Act”).  No Incentive Stock Option shall be granted to any person who is not an employee of the Company or an employee of a Subsidiary at the time of grant or so qualified as set forth in the immediately preceding sentence. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an award may also be made or granted to a person in connection with his hiring or retention, or at any time on or after the date he reaches an agreement (oral or written) with the Company with respect to such hiring or retention, even though it may be prior to the date the person first performs services for the Company or its Subsidiaries; provided, however, that no portion of any such award shall vest prior to the date the person first performs such services and the date of grant shall be deemed to be the date hiring or retention commences.

Section 5.           Stock Options.

            5.1.      Grant and Exercise.   Stock Options granted under the Plan may be of two types: (i) Incentive Stock Options and (ii) Non-qualified Stock Options. Any Stock Option granted under the Plan shall contain such terms, not inconsistent with this Plan, or with respect to Incentive Stock Options, not inconsistent with the Plan and the Code, as the Committee may from time to time approve.  The Committee shall have the authority to grant Incentive Stock Options or Non-qualified Stock Options, or both types of Stock Options which may be granted alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan.  To the extent that any Stock Option intended to qualify as an Incentive Stock Option does not so qualify, it shall constitute a separate Non-qualified Stock Option.
            5.2.      Terms and Conditions.  Stock Options granted under the Plan shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
                       (a)                           Option Term.   The term of each Stock Option shall be fixed by the Committee; provided, however, that an Incentive Stock Option may be granted only within the ten-year period commencing from the Effective Date and may only be exercised within ten years of the date of grant (or five years in the case of an Incentive Stock Option granted to an optionee who, at the time of grant, owns Common Stock possessing more than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of voting stock of the Company (“10% Shareholder”)).
                       (b)           Exercise Price.  The exercise price per share of Common Stock purchasable under a Stock Option shall be determined by the Committee at the time of grant and may not be less than 100% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant (or, if greater, the par value of a share of Common Stock); provided, however, that the exercise price of an Incentive Stock Option granted to a 10% Shareholder will not be less than 110% of the Fair Market Value on the date of grant.
                       (c)           Exercisability.   Stock Options shall be exercisable at such time or times and subject to such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee. The Committee intends generally to provide that Stock Options be exercisable only in installments, i.e., that they vest over time, typically over a five-year period.  The Committee may waive such installment exercise provisions at any time at or after the time of grant in whole or in part, based upon such factors as the Committee determines.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the case of an Incentive Stock Option, the aggregate Fair Market Value (on the date of grant of the Option) with respect to which Incentive Stock Options become exercisable for the first time by a Holder during any calendar year (under all such plans of the Company and its Parent and Subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.
               (d)           Method of Exercise.   Subject to whatever installment, exercise and waiting period provisions are applicable in a particular case, Stock Options may be exercised in whole or in part at any time during the term of the Option by giving written notice of exercise to the Company specifying the number of shares of Common Stock to be purchased. Such notice shall be accompanied by payment in full of the purchase price.
              (e)           Payment.  Payment for Shares purchased pursuant to the Plan may be made in cash (by check) or, where expressly approved for the Participant by the Board and where permitted by law:
                                            (i)           by cancellation of indebtedness of the Company to the Participant;
                                            (ii)           by transfer of Shares that either (1) have been owned by Participant for more than six (6) months and have been paid for within the meaning of SEC Rule 144; or (2) were obtained by Participant in the public market;
                                            (iii)           by waiver of compensation due or accrued to Participant for services rendered;
(iv)  
by tender of property;
                                            (v)           with a promissory note in favor of the Company, which such note shall (1) provide for full recourse to the maker, (2) be collateralized by the pledge of the Shares that the Optionee purchases upon exercise of the Option, (3) bear interest at the prime rate of the Company’s principal lender, and (4) contain such other terms as the Board in its sole discretion shall reasonably require; and,
                                            (vi)           with respect only to purchases upon exercise of an Option, and provided that a public market for the Company’s stock exists:
                       (f)           Transferability.   Except as may be set forth in the next sentence of this Section or in the Agreement, no Stock Option shall be transferable by the Holder other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution, and all Stock Options shall be exercisable, during the Holder’s lifetime, only by the Holder (or, to the extent of legal incapacity or incompetency, the Holder’s guardian or legal representative). Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder, with the approval of the Committee, may transfer a Non-Qualified Stock Option (i) (A) by gift, for no consideration, or (B) pursuant to a domestic relations order, in either case, to or for the benefit of the Holder’s “Immediate Family” (as defined below), or (ii) to an entity in which the Holder and/or members of Holder’s Immediate Family own more than fifty percent of the voting interest, in exchange for an interest in that entity, subject to such limits as the Committee may establish and the execution of such documents as the Committee may require, and the transferee shall remain subject to all the terms and conditions applicable to the Non-Qualified Stock Option prior to such transfer. The term “Immediate Family” shall mean any child, stepchild, grandchild, parent, stepparent, grandparent, spouse, former spouse, sibling, niece, nephew, mother-in-law, father-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, brother-in-law or sister-in-law, including adoptive relationships, any person sharing the Holder’s household (other than a tenant or employee), a trust in which these persons have more than fifty percent beneficial interest, and a foundation in which these persons (or the Holder) control the management of the assets.  The Committee may, in its sole discretion, permit transfer of an Incentive Stock Option in a manner consistent with applicable tax and securities law upon the Holder’s request.
                       (g)           Termination by Reason of Death.   If a Holder’s employment by, or association with, the Company or a Subsidiary terminates by reason of death, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of death may thereafter be exercised by the legal representative of the estate or by the legatee of the Holder under the will of the Holder, for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such death or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.
                       (h)           Termination by Reason of Disability.  If a Holder’s employment by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates by reason of Disability, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.
                       (i)           Termination by Reason of Normal Retirement.   Subject to the provisions of Section 13.3, if such Holder’s employment by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates due to Normal Retirement, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of one year (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.
                       (j)           Other Termination.   Subject to the provisions of Section 13.3, if such Holder’s employment by, or association with, the Company or any Subsidiary terminates for any reason other than death, Disability or Normal Retirement, any Stock Option held by such Holder, unless otherwise determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, shall thereupon automatically terminate, except that, if the Holder’s employment is terminated by the Company or a Subsidiary without cause, the portion of such Stock Option that has vested on the date of termination may thereafter be exercised by the Holder for a period of three months (or such other greater or lesser period as the Committee may specify in the Agreement) from the date of such termination or until the expiration of the stated term of such Stock Option, whichever period is shorter.
                       (k)           Buyout and Settlement Provisions.   The Committee may at any time, in its sole discretion, offer to repurchase a Stock Option previously granted, based upon such terms and conditions as the Committee shall establish and communicate to the Holder at the time that such offer is made.
 
Section 6.                                     Stock Appreciation Rights.
            6.1.           Grant and Exercise.   Subject to the terms and conditions of the Plan, the Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights in tandem with an Option or alone and unrelated to an Option.  The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to participants who have been or are being granted Stock Options under the Plan as a means of allowing such participants to exercise their Stock Options without the need to pay the exercise price in cash.  In the case of a Non-qualified Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted either at or after the time of the grant of such Non-qualified Stock Option. In the case of an Incentive Stock Option, a Stock Appreciation Right may be granted only at the time of the grant of such Incentive Stock Option. 
6.2.           Terms and Conditions. Stock Appreciation Rights shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
                       (a)          Exercisability.   Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement, subject to the limitations, if any, imposed by the Code with respect to related Incentive Stock Options.
                       (b)           Termination.    A Stock Appreciation Right shall terminate and shall no longer be exercisable upon the termination or after the exercise of the related Stock Option.
                       (c)           Method of Exercise.    Stock Appreciation Rights shall be exercisable upon such terms and conditions as shall be determined by the Committee and set forth in the Agreement and by surrendering the applicable portion of the related Stock Option. Upon such exercise and surrender, the Holder shall be entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the SAR Value divided by the Fair Market Value on the date the Stock Appreciation Right is exercised.
                       (d)            Shares Affected Upon Plan.   The granting of a Stock Appreciation Right shall not affect the number of shares of Common Stock available for Awards under the Plan.  The number of shares available for Awards under the Plan will, however, be reduced by the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon exercise of the Stock Option to which such Stock Appreciation Right relates.
 
Section 7.                                    Restricted Stock.
            7.1.           Grant.   Shares of Restricted Stock may be awarded either alone or in addition to other Awards granted under the Plan. The Committee shall determine the eligible persons to whom, and the time or times at which, grants of Restricted Stock will be awarded, the number of shares to be awarded, the price (if any) to be paid by the Holder, the time or times within which such Awards may be subject to forfeiture (“Restriction Period”), the vesting schedule and rights to acceleration thereof and all other terms and conditions of the Awards.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary elsewhere in this Plan, for purposes of determining the number of Shares available for Awards pursuant to Section 3.1, each share of Common Stock subject to a Restricted Stock award shall be deemed to be one Share.
            7.2.           Terms and Conditions.   Each Restricted Stock award shall be subject to the following terms and conditions:
                       (a)           Certificates.   Restricted Stock, when issued, will be represented by a stock certificate or certificates registered in the name of the Holder to whom such Restricted Stock shall have been awarded. During the Restriction Period, certificates representing the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting ‘Retained Distributions’ (as defined below) shall bear a legend to the effect that ownership of the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions) and the enjoyment of all rights appurtenant thereto are subject to the restrictions, terms and conditions provided in the Plan and the Agreement.  Such certificates shall be deposited by the Holder with the Company, together with stock powers or other instruments of assignment, each endorsed in blank, which will permit transfer to the Company of all or any portion of the Restricted Stock and any securities constituting Retained Distributions that shall be forfeited or that shall not become vested in accordance with the Plan and the Agreement.
                       (b)           Rights of Holder.   Restricted Stock shall constitute issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock for all corporate purposes. The Holder will have the right to vote such Restricted Stock and to exercise all other rights, powers and privileges of a holder of Common Stock with respect to such Restricted Stock, with the exceptions that: (i) the Holder will not be entitled to delivery of the stock certificate or certificates representing such Restricted Stock until the Restriction Period shall have expired and unless all other vesting requirements with respect thereto shall have been fulfilled; (ii) the Company will retain custody of the stock certificate or certificates representing the Restricted Stock during the Restriction Period; (iii) the Company will retain custody of all dividends and distributions (“Retained Distributions”) made, paid or declared with respect to the Restricted Stock (and such Retained Distributions will be subject to the same restrictions, terms and conditions as are applicable to the Restricted Stock) until such time, if ever, as the Restricted Stock with respect to which such Retained Distributions shall have been made, paid or declared shall have become vested and with respect to which the Restriction Period shall have expired; and, (iv) a breach of any of the restrictions, terms or conditions contained in this Plan or the Agreement or otherwise established by the Committee with respect to any Restricted Stock or Retained Distributions will cause a forfeiture of such Restricted Stock and any Retained Distributions with respect thereto.
                       (c)           Vesting; Forfeiture.  Upon the expiration of the Restriction Period with respect to each award of Restricted Stock and the satisfaction of any other applicable restrictions, terms and conditions: (i) all or part of such Restricted Stock shall become vested in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, and, (ii) any Retained Distributions with respect to such Restricted Stock shall become vested to the extent that the Restricted Stock related thereto shall have become vested.  Any such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that do not vest shall be forfeited to the Company and the Holder shall not thereafter have any rights with respect to such Restricted Stock and Retained Distributions that shall have been so forfeited.

Section 8.                                 Reserved
 
 
 
Section 9.                                 Other Stock-Based Awards.
           Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded, subject to limitations under applicable law, that are denominated or payable in, valued in whole or in part by reference to, or otherwise based on or related to, shares of Common Stock, as deemed by the Committee to be consistent with the purposes of the Plan, including, without limitation, purchase rights, shares of Common Stock awarded which are not subject to any restrictions or conditions, convertible or exchangeable debentures, or other rights convertible into shares of Common Stock and Awards valued by reference to the value of securities of or the performance of specified Subsidiaries.  These other stock-based Awards may include performance shares or options, whose award is tied to specific performance criteria. Other Stock-Based Awards may be awarded either alone or in addition to or in tandem with any other Awards under this Plan or any other plan of the Company.  Each other Stock-Based Award shall be subject to such terms and conditions as may be determined by the Committee.
 

Section 10.          Accelerated Vesting and Exercisability.
            10.1.           Non-Approved Transactions. If any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires the ownership of stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or combined voting power of the stock of the Company, and the Board does not authorize or otherwise approve such acquisition, then the vesting periods of any and all Stock Options and other Awards granted and outstanding under the Plan shall be accelerated and all such Stock Options and Awards will immediately and entirely vest, and the respective Holders thereof will have the immediate right to purchase and/or receive any and all Common Stock subject to such Stock Options and Awards on the terms set forth in this Plan and the respective Agreements respecting such Stock Options and Awards.  An increase in the percentage of stock owned by any one person, or persons acting as a group, as a result of a transaction in which the Company acquires its stock in exchange for property is not treated as an acquisition of stock for purposes of this Section 10.
            10.2.           Approved Transactions.  The Committee may, in the event of an acquisition by any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, together with acquisitions during the 12-month period ending on the date of the most recent acquisition by such person or persons, of assets from the Company that have a total gross fair market value equal to or more than 50% of the total gross fair market value of all of the assets of the Company immediately before such acquisition or acquisitions, or if any one person, or more than one person acting as a group, acquires the ownership of stock of the Company that, together with the stock held by such person or group, constitutes more than 50% of the total fair market value or combined voting power of the stock of the Company, which has been approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (i) accelerate the vesting of any and all Stock Options and other Awards granted and outstanding under the Plan, or (ii) require a Holder of any award granted under this Plan to relinquish such award to the Company upon the tender by the Company to Holder of cash in an amount equal to the Repurchase Value of such award.  For this purpose, gross fair market value means the value of the assets of the Company, or the value of the assets being disposed of, determined without regard to any liabilities associated with such assets.
            10.3.                      Code Section 409A.  Notwithstanding any provisions of this Plan or any award granted hereunder to the contrary, no acceleration shall occur with respect to any award to the extent such acceleration would cause the Plan or an award granted hereunder to fail to comply with Code Section 409A.
 
Section 11.                                Amendment and Termination.
            The Board may at any time, and from time to time, amend alter, suspend or discontinue any of the provisions of the Plan, but no amendment, alteration, suspension or discontinuance shall be made that would impair the rights of a Holder under any Agreement theretofore entered into hereunder, without the Holder’s consent, except as set forth in this Plan.
 
Section 12.          Term of Plan.
 12.1.              Effective Date.   The Plan shall be effective as of, and the Effective Date shall be,­­­­­­ January 1, 2011, subject to the approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders within one year after the Effective Date.  Any Awards granted under the Plan prior to such approval shall be effective when made (unless otherwise specified by the Committee at the time of grant), but shall be conditioned upon, and subject to, such approval of the Plan by the Company’s shareholders and no Awards shall vest or otherwise become free of restrictions prior to such approval. 

12.2.           Termination Date.   Unless terminated by the Board, this Plan shall continue to remain effective until such time as no further Awards may be granted and all Awards granted under the Plan are no longer outstanding. Notwithstanding the foregoing, grants of Incentive Stock Options may be made only during the ten-year period beginning on the Effective Date.
 
Section 13.                                  General Provisions.
            13.1.                      Written Agreements.   Each Award granted under the Plan shall be confirmed by, and shall be subject to the terms of, the Agreement executed by the Company and the Holder, or such other document as may be determined by the Committee.  The Committee may terminate any award made under the Plan if the Agreement relating thereto is not executed and returned to the Company within 10 days after the Agreement has been delivered to the Holder for his or her execution.
            13.2.                      Unfunded Status of Plan.  The Plan is intended to constitute an “unfunded” plan for incentive and deferred compensation.  With respect to any payments not yet made to a Holder by the Company, nothing contained herein shall give any such Holder any rights that are greater than those of a general creditor of the Company.
            13.3.       Employees.
                       (a)      Engaging in Competition With the Company; Solicitation of Customers and Employees; Disclosure of Confidential Information.  If a Holder’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for any reason whatsoever, and within 12 months after the date thereof such Holder either (i) accepts employment with any competitor of, or otherwise engages in competition with, the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, (ii) solicits any customers or employees of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries to do business with or render services to the Holder or any business with which the Holder becomes affiliated or to which the Holder renders services or (iii) uses or discloses to anyone outside the Company any confidential information or material of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in violation of the Company’s policies or any agreement between the Holder and the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, the Committee, in its sole discretion, may require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any award that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on the date that is six months prior to the date such Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated.  In such event, Holder agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Shares were sold during such six month period) and the price the Holder paid the Company for such Shares.
                       (b)           Termination for Cause.   If a Holder’s employment with the Company or a Subsidiary is terminated for cause, the Committee may, in its sole discretion, require such Holder to return to the Company the economic value of any award that was realized or obtained by such Holder at any time during the period beginning on that date that is six months prior to the date such Holder’s employment with the Company is terminated.  In such event, Holder agrees to remit to the Company, in cash, an amount equal to the difference between the Fair Market Value of the Shares on the date of termination (or the sales price of such Shares if the Shares were sold during such six month period) and the price the Holder paid the Company for such Shares.
                       (c)                            No Right of Employment.  Nothing contained in the Plan or in any award hereunder shall be deemed to confer upon any Holder who is an employee of the Company or any Subsidiary any right to continued employment with the Company or any Subsidiary, nor shall it interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Subsidiary to terminate the employment of any Holder who is an employee at any time.
            13.4.      Investment Representations; Company Policy.  The Committee may require each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan to represent to and agree with the Company in writing that the Holder is acquiring the shares for investment without a view to distribution thereof.  Each person acquiring shares of Common Stock pursuant to a Stock Option or other award under the Plan shall be required to abide by all policies of the Company in effect at the time of such acquisition and thereafter with respect to the ownership and trading of the Company’s securities.
           13.5.           Additional Incentive Arrangements.  Nothing contained in the Plan shall prevent the Board from adopting such other or additional incentive arrangements as it may deem desirable, including, but not limited to, the granting of Stock Options and the awarding of Common Stock and cash otherwise than under the Plan; and such arrangements may be either generally applicable or applicable only in specific cases.
            13.6.           Withholding Taxes.   Not later than the date as of which an amount must first be included in the gross income of the Holder for Federal income tax purposes with respect to any Stock Option or other award under the Plan, the Holder shall pay to the Company, or make arrangements satisfactory to the Committee regarding the payment of, any Federal, state and local taxes of any kind required by law to be withheld or paid with respect to such amount.  If permitted by the Committee, tax withholding or payment obligations may be settled with Common Stock, including Common Stock that is part of the award that gives rise to the withholding requirement.  The obligations of the Company under the Plan shall be conditioned upon such payment or arrangements and the Company or the Holder’s employer (if not the Company) shall, to the extent permitted by law, have the right to deduct any such taxes from any payment of any kind otherwise due to the Holder from the Company or any Subsidiary.
