On September 14, 2006, the Company entered into a five year management agreement (“Agreement”) with Trinad Management, the manager of Trinad Capital Master Fund, which is one of our principal stockholders. In addition, Robert Ellin, our director, is the managing director of and portfolio manager for Trinad Management. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Trinad Management provided certain management services, including, without limitation, relating to the sourcing, structuring and negotiation of a potential business combination transaction involving the Company in exchange for a fee of $90 per quarter, plus reimbursements of all related expenses reasonably incurred. The Agreement expired on September 14, 2011, but was extended to December 31, 2011. During the periods ended June 30, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the Company incurred management fees under the agreement of $0 and $90, respectively.

On December 28, 2011, we entered into an executive chairman agreement with Robert Ellin that provides for a one-year term and an annual fee of $450,000, half of which was deferred until certain debt and/or equity financings were consummated. Such financings were consummated, and Mr. Ellin has received his full fee since April 1, 2012 and received a lump sum payment for the portion of his fee that was deferred from December 28, 2011 to March 31, 2012 on April 6, 2012.

Mr. Ellin shall also be reimbursed for the annual fee of a personal assistant of up to $80,000 during the term of this executive chairman agreement.
