delivery of materials and reducing the environmental impact from printing, mailing and disposing of paper copies. Stockholders of record will receive a notice with instructions on how to access those documents over the internet and request a paper
copy of our proxy materials, including this proxy statement, our 2017 Annual Report and voting instructions. Stockholders whose shares are held in a brokerage account will receive this information from their broker. </P>

proxy card by mail or following the voting instructions provided by your broker. If you attend the Annual Meeting and decide to vote in person, you may revoke your proxy. </P>

agreement, the Company agreed to increase the Board by one director and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class, are entitled to elect one director (the &#147;Preferred Director&#148;). As required by the agreement,
the Board appointed Casey Crenshaw as the Preferred Director as of May&nbsp;2, 2012 and he was elected as the Preferred Director by the holder of the Series A Preferred Stock as of the dates of the 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016 Annual Meetings. The

which are consistent with the director independence standards established by the NASDAQ Stock Market. In determining independence, the Board reviews and seeks to determine whether directors have any material relationship with the Company, direct or
indirect, which would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director. The Board reviews business, professional, charitable and familial relationships of the independent directors in determining
independence. The Board determined that Peter Menikoff, Edward L. Kuntz, J. Hoke Peacock II, Casey Crenshaw and Neal M.&nbsp;Dikeman are independent. In determining the independence of Mr.&nbsp;Peacock, the Board considered that M&amp;I utilized
Mr.&nbsp;Peacock&#146;s law firm for matters which generated $67,986 in fees and expenses to such firm in 2017. Such arrangement does not reflect on Mr.&nbsp;Peacock&#146;s independence under NASDAQ Stock Market director independence standards. In
determining the independence of Mr.&nbsp;Dikeman, the Board considered the additional compensation in the form of restricted stock units for board services requiring substantial additional time and attention. </P>

the Company and the Investor entered into an agreement restricting payment of cash dividends on and redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock to facilitate the sale of the Company&#146;s senior secured Term Note in March 2017 (the &#147;Standstill
Agreement&#148;). In consideration for the Investor&#146;s agreement to the foregoing restrictions on cash dividends on and redemption of the Series A Preferred Stock the Company and the Investor agreed, pursuant to an agreement dated August&nbsp;1,
2017 (the &#147;Repricing Agreement&#148;), to an adjustment to the initial conversion price of the Common Stock upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock and the initial exercise price of the Series A and B Purchase Warrants to reflect the

Series&nbsp;A Preferred Stock is convertible into 2,212,389 shares of common stock at an initial conversion price of $2.26 per share. If the Investor were to convert the shares of Series A Preferred Stock into our common stock, it would receive an
amount of shares which is 25.3% of our outstanding common stock as of March&nbsp;15, 2018. The Series A Purchase Warrants are exercisable for 125,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $2.72 per share and the Series B Purchase
Warrants are exercisable for 200,000 shares of common stock at an initial exercise price of $3.17 per share. If the Investor were to purchase the 325,000 shares pursuant to the Warrants it would receive an amount of shares which is 3.7% of our
outstanding shares as of March&nbsp;15, 2018 and the Company would receive the purchase price of $974,000; however the Warrants have a cashless exercise provision. Until Proposal 5 is approved, the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants cannot be

cannot currently determine the total number of shares of our common stock or voting power that will be issued to the Investor pursuant to a conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock into common stock, exercise of the Warrants and payment of
dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock by issuance of our common stock. Due to these uncertainties, the Series A Preferred Stock and the Warrants have the potential to provide for the issuance of securities equal to 20% or more of the

forth in the Repricing Agreement would result in the issuance of more than 20% of our common stock to the Investor and would result in a change of control under the NASDAQ interpretations of Rule 5635(b). </P>

after the date of grant or within one year after the transfer of the shares to the optionee, then upon the sale of the shares any amount realized in excess of the option price will be taxed to the optionee as long-term capital gain and any loss

compensation of the executive officers to provide assurance that we are able to hire and retain individuals in a competitive environment and rewards satisfactory individual performance and a satisfactory level of contribution to our overall business
goals. At least annually, the Compensation Committee evaluates the base salaries for our executives, together with other components of compensation, and considers adjustments based on an assessment of each executive&#146;s performance, competitive
compensation trends and their review and consideration of compensation surveys and other information provided by our human resources department or from independent sources. We expect our CEO, as manager of our other senior executives, to keep the
Compensation Committee advised as to how our senior executives are performing. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Executive Performance Cash Bonus Program.</I>&nbsp;The
performance bonus element of the cash compensation of our executive officers is based upon achievement of Company and individual performance goals recommended by our CEO and approved by our Compensation Committee. The 2017 performance bonus
compensation program for our senior executives provides for cash bonus targets ranging from approximately 15% to 50% of base salary. Our CEO is primarily responsible for recommending to the Board of Directors the Company financial objectives and
individual performance goals of our senior executives. A minimum targeted Company financial performance must be achieved for the cash bonus to be earned. The bonus is calculated including both individual and company performance metrics. Each of the
individual and performance metrics includes financial and operating metrics. Some of each officer&#146;s individual performance goals and objectives may require a subjective evaluation and judgment with respect to achievement of these goals. Company
performance targets make up approximately 75% of total bonus with individual goals encompassing the remainder. The Company financial performance element of each executive&#146;s bonus is designated in a business area where the executive contributes
and may include such performance metrics as earnings of the entire Company or one or more business segments. The Compensation Committee may also recognize exceptional performance in excess of targeted goals by granting bonus awards in excess of
targeted amounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Our CEO reviews each senior executive&#146;s performance against Company and individual performance goals set for that

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Equity Incentives.</I>&nbsp;Our equity incentive program is the primary vehicle for offering long-term incentives to our employees,
including our executive officers. Executives are eligible to receive grants of stock options, restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, stock appreciation rights and other stock-based equity awards at the discretion of the Compensation
Committee. Our 2007 Employee Stock Incentive Plan authorizes the issuance of up to 1,700,000 shares of our common stock. In 2016 and 2017 certain executives were awarded performance-based restricted stock units. Some of these awards were subject to
achievement of performance targets in the year of grant and continued employment to become fully vested, and some of such awards required only continued employment to become fully vested. The Compensation Committee will also recognize exceptional
performance in excess of targeted goals by granting equity awards in excess of targeted amounts. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">We believe equity awards provide our
executive officers with an incentive to focus on our long-term performance, create an ownership culture among our management team and our employees, and align the interests of our executive officers with those of our stockholders. In addition, the
vesting feature of our equity awards is designed to further our objective of executive retention by providing an incentive to our executive officers to remain employed with us during the vesting period. We believe the long-term performance of our
business is improved through the grant of stock-based awards so that the interests of our executive officers are aligned with the creation of value for our stockholders. In determining the size of equity grants to our executive officers, our
Compensation Committee will consider our overall performance, the applicable executive officer&#146;s performance, the achievement of certain strategic initiatives, the amount of equity previously awarded to the executive officer, and the vesting of
such awards, as well as their own business judgment and experiences. The Compensation Committee may also make the receipt of equity incentives subject to the achievement of specific objective Company financial goals and/or continued employment. </P>
<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman">Grants of equity awards, including those to our named executive officers, are required to be approved by our Compensation Committee. We may
grant equity awards to executive officers upon their initial hire and in connection with a promotion. In addition, grants of equity awards may be made from time to time in the discretion of our Compensation Committee and our Board of Directors
consistent with our incentive compensation program objectives. </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Other Compensation.</I>&nbsp;Each of our executive officers is eligible

<P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Tax Considerations.</I>&nbsp;Section&nbsp;162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code generally disallows a tax deduction for compensation in
excess of $1.0&nbsp;million paid to our chief executive officer and our four other most highly paid executive officers. Qualifying performance-based compensation is not subject to the deduction limitation if specified requirements are met. We
generally intend to structure the performance-based portion of our executive compensation, when feasible, to comply with exemptions in Section&nbsp;162(m) so that the compensation remains tax deductible to us. Our compensation committee and our
board of directors may, in their judgment, authorize compensation payments that do not comply with the exemptions in Section&nbsp;162(m) when it believes such payments are appropriate to attract and retain executive talent. To date we have made no
compensation payments which did not comply with exemptions in Section&nbsp;162(m). </P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12pt; margin-bottom:0pt; text-indent:4%; font-size:10pt; font-family:Times New Roman"><I>Risk Considerations.</I>&nbsp;The Compensation
Committee considers whether the Company&#146;s compensation policies and practices for both executives and other employees encourage unnecessary or excessive risk taking. </P>

to such number of shares of Common Stock or other securities or property to which a holder of shares of Common Stock of the Company would have been entitled to upon such consolidation, merger or conveyance; and in any such case appropriate
adjustment, as determined by the Committee shall be made as set forth above with respect to any future changes in the capitalization of the Company or its successor entity. In the event of the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all

Unless the shares of Common Stock issuable pursuant to an award under the Plan have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, prior to the exercise of any Option or SAR or issuance pursuant to an award, a participant must
represent in writing to the Company that such shares of Common Stock are being acquired for investment purposes only and not with a view towards the further resale or distribution thereof, and must supply to the Company such other documentation as
may be required by the Company, unless in the opinion of counsel to the Company such representation, agreement or documentation is not necessary to comply with said Act. </P>
