ITEM 11.
EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION





Compensation Discussion and Analysis





I.
Overview of Previous Year Performance and Compensation:





The 2011 year was both a development and growth year for the Company. Most significantly, our key developments were enhancements to the engineering of the processor including modularization and the designing of a fuel separation and blending system, the design of the pre-melt and the signing of multiple contracts.  The Company also faced significant barriers to roll-out through various non-recurring expenses to the Company.  The drain of resources, both through development and non-recurring administrative expenses, significantly impacted the roll-out of the processors and subsequent generation of revenues.
 
 In light of all activity, the Compensation Committee felt that the CEO significantly increased the strength and value of the company.
 
 Pursuant to the original contract dated May 19th, 2010 and effective as of July 16th, 2010, base salary was to consist of $216,500 per annum and performance compensation was to have been authorized in stock option grants of:
 
 1.           The first tranche of 100,000 options at an exercisable at the closing bid price of the Company’s common stock on May 20, 2010.
 
 2.The second tranche of 75,000 options vesting upon the completion of 5 fully operational Plastic 2 Oil (“P2O”) processors.


3




3.           The third tranche of 75,000 options when the Company’s market capitalization exceeds $500,000,000 as determined by the Company’s independent accounting firm
 
 The Compensation Committee and the full Board of Directors subsequently determined that stock options were not in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders, and so a resolution was passed prohibiting the issuance of stock options for the Company until such time as a formal plan was adoted. Subsequently, the CEO received no stock compensation under the May, 2010 contract.
 
 In lieu of stock options per original contract, the Compensation Committee approved a one-time compensation bonus to the CEO in January 2011 in the amount of $20,000, upon the basis of bringing P2O to operational status, and having worked without salary until that milestone was achieved.  Additionally, the Compensation Committee granted a performance bonus of 50,000 shares each to both the CEO and COO in June 2011, based on significant achievements in bringing the Company from a development stage to a growth stage.
 
 Aside from base salary and one-time bonus, no other compensation was received by the CEO in 2011.


II.
Elements of Compensation for the Past Fiscal Year:





As per best practice procedures for compensation, said compensation is comprised of base salary and performance compensation determined upon evaluation of comparable companies and CEO’s salaries in other micro-cap companies as evaluated in a compensation report by the National Association of Corporate Directors, or the NACD, and Pearl Meyer & Partners (an independent compensation consultancy). However, 2011 Salary and Compensation was primarily determined by milestones effected in original contract and independent research of comparable microcap companies, as the Company was not subscribed to NACD in early 2011.
 
 Compensation evaluations for 2011 were done for both the CEO and the COO as the executive officers of the company.
 
 In light of the Compensation Committee to restrict the issuance of options, no stock options were granted as  performance compensation was received by the CEO or COO in 2011.  Both the CEO and COO however, did receive 50,000 shares as a performance bonus, based upon the recommendation of the Compensation Committee and justified by the substantial progress made in 2011 in the development of the Company.


III.
Performance Targets for Past Year





Per original contract, Performance Goals for the five year contract period were:


1.
The completion of 5 fully operational Plastic 2 Oil (“P2O”) processors.





2.
The Company’s market capitalization exceeding $500,000,000 as determined by the Company’s independent accounting firm.





The Compensation Committee’s analysis of growth and development, and best practice determination of annual and long-term performance goals, calls for modification of said goals into annual and long term.
 
 The Compensation Committee also noted the achievement of other significant milestones achieved in 2011, which were not noted per original contract, including:


1.
P2O Operational Status


2.
NYSDEC approval and permits


3.
Rock-Tenn contract


4.
Oxy Vinyl contract


5.
Indigo Energy contract


6.
XTR Energy Contract


7.
Enhancement and modularization of the Processor


8.
Initial sales of fuel from P2O


9.
Development of a pre-melt system


The achievement of these goals has helped transition the Company from the development stage to the production stage with significant potential for growth, revenue and shareholder equity, contingent upon the successful completion of business plan for roll-out of processors.


IV.
Compensation Decisions Made in Past Fiscal Year:





As indicated above, the issuance of stock options to management was discontinued and both the CEO and COO received stock as a performance bonus was paid in 2011.  The Compensation Committee also re-assessed the performance milestones which are now subject to annual review going forward.  Additionally, as indicated above, the CEO received a one-time bonus of $20,000 on Jan 6, 2011 based on these same performance metrics. The CEO’s compensation was comprised of base salary.


4




V.
Compensation Framework: Policies, Process, and Risk Considerations:





In 2011, Compensation and COO’s pay was determined to be base salary and performance bonus based upon 2010 contract, and in line with comparable micro-cap companies.


Current Compensation Policy is for combined Salary, benefits, and Performance Compensation based upon annual and long-term milestones, reviewed annually by the Compensation committee to determine consistency with comparable companies per NACD and Pearl Meyer & Partners annual reports, valid and reasonable milestones based upon current conditions, and determination as to whether said goals were reasonably obtained.





Benefits include:


·
Vacation: An annual paid vacation in accordance with the Company's policy applicable to senior executives from time to time in effect, but in no event less than three weeks per calendar year (as prorated for partial years)


·
Business and Entertainment Expenses: Upon presentation of appropriate documentation, the Executive shall be reimbursed for all reasonable and necessary business and entertainment expenses incurred in connection with the performance of his duties hereunder, all in accordance with the Company's expense reimbursement policy applicable to senior executives from time to time in effect.


·
Insurance: The Executive and each individual family member of the Executive shall be entitled to health and insurance plan providing international standard coverage as determined by the Company after consultation with the Executive.





Base pay is determined based upon the matrix provided by NACD and Pearl Meyer, as the Company is in a unique position of being a start-up company without a significant market of comparable companies upon which to make a valuation.


Base pay is evaluated on median pay of micro-cap companies.





The Company did not have “say on pay” input, per Frank-Dodd legislation, in 2011 due to the fact that the Company did not affect CEO compensation until July 2010 on annual basis, and first opportunity for said shareholder vote would be 2012 for the preceding year.  Furthermore, the Company was a smaller reporting company prior to 2012 and not subject to “say on pay”


a.
Vesting periods – none


b.
Timing and pricing of stock option grants and awards – none for 2011


c.
The repricing or exchange of stock options or other stock-related awards – N/A


d.
Stock ownership guidelines – none


e.
Performance targets:


1.
The completion of 5 fully operational Plastic 2 Oil (“P2O”) processors.


2.
The Company’s market capitalization exceeds $500,000,000 as determined by the Company’s independent accounting firm


f.
Any material tax or accounting treatment – none


g.
Policy on hedging of company stock by executives – prohibited


h.
Clawback provisions – none as of this date


i.
Policy on the modification of performance targets – none for 2011.





Compensation Process:





As of 2011, Compensation was based solely upon base salary consideration as per the May, 2010, five year contract. Performance Compensation was terminated due to elimination of options, and was not re-evaluated.


a.
Due to limited resources, and need for finances to be kept for corporate purposes, and legal fees, no corporate consultants were used. The company directors affiliated with NACD in 2011


b.
Independence of compensation consultants – N/A


c.
Benchmarks for remuneration targets – default to base salary 100% due to elimination of options grants.


d.
Peer group used for determination of CEO and COO – none. No Peer group identifiable for usage. Determination based upon general micro-cap evaluation.


e.
Changes to list of Peer Group companies – N/A.





Risk considerations:





Currently there are no risk considerations in regard to executive compensation. As the company is in formative status, transitioning from development to growth, and without comparables to make evaluation on, risk assessment has been impractical. The company has no risk committee at this time, and risk evaluation is comprised of ongoing Board discussions.




5




VI.
Employment and Termination Agreements





CEO’s contract stipulates guaranteed salary of $216,500 per year, with performance bonuses based upon accomplished milestones. Those performance bonuses were negated by the elimination of option grants. Future performance bonuses are to be determined on annual evaluation and approval by Compensation Committee and Board of Directors, and are not part of contract agreement.
 
 Duration of employment is five years commencing May 2010, with extension terms as agreeable by both parties 30 days prior to termination date. Termination issues include death, disability, cause, and without cause.

The Company may also terminate this Agreement for cause at any time in the event of the failure of the Executive to perform duties assigned by the Company in a correct, timely and expeditious manner or in the event of material violation by the Executive of any term or condition of this Agreement.





Consequences of potential termination:





a.
Disability.  Upon termination of the Employment Term because of the Executive's Disability, the Company shall pay or provide to the Executive (1) any unpaid Base Salary and any accrued vacation through the date of termination; (2) any unpaid Annual Bonus accrued with respect to the fiscal year ending on or preceding the date of termination; (3) reimbursement for any unreimbursed expenses properly incurred through the date of termination; and (4) all other payments or benefits to which the Executive may be entitled under the terms of any applicable employee benefit plan, program or arrangement (collectively, “Accrued Benefits”).

c.

d.

Compensation of Directors





Directors are permitted to receive fixed fees and other compensation for their services as directors. The Board of Directors has the authority to fix the compensation of directors. On April 1st, 2011 each independent director was authorized to receive 50,000 shares of restricted common stock as late compensation for board services during 2010. This share grant for the prior year was not received until late June 2011, at which time a Form 4 was filed. For compensation during all of 2011, each independent director was issued a total equivalent of $35,000 worth of restricted shares of common stock for serving on the board. These shares were distributed in two 50% tranches, with the first tranche based on the closing share price on August 1st, (and received in October) and the second tranche based on the closing share price on December 31st, 2011. This second tranche was not authorized until January 17, 2012, and is therefore not included in the share ownership table below.





Independent directors have received no forms of compensation for services other than shares of restricted common stock.

Holders of our common stock are entitled to one vote for each share on all matters submitted to a stockholder vote.  Holders of common stock do not have cumulative voting rights.  Therefore, holders of a majority of the shares of common stock voting for the election of directors cannot necessarily elect all of the directors. Holders of our common stock representing a majority of the voting power of our capital stock issued and outstanding and entitled to vote, represented in person or by proxy, are necessary to constitute a quorum at any meeting of our stockholders. A vote by the holders of a majority of our outstanding shares is required to effectuate certain fundamental corporate changes such as liquidation, merger or an amendment to our Articles of Incorporation.





Holders of common stock are entitled to share in all dividends that the board of directors, in its discretion, declares from legally available funds. In the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up, each outstanding share entitles its holder to participate pro rata in all assets that remain after payment of liabilities and after providing for each class of stock, if any, having preference over the common stock. Holders of our common stock have no pre-emptive rights, no conversion rights and there are no redemption provisions applicable to our common stock.

Preferred Stock





We are authorized to issue 5,000,000 shares of preferred stock, $.001 par value per share.  As of the date hereof, 1,000,000 Series A Super Voting Preferred Shares are issued and outstanding, all of which are held by Mr. John Bordynuik, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and President.  Holders of the Series A Super Voting Preferred Shares have one hundred (100) times the number of votes that holders of common stock are entitled to on all matters submitted to shareholders for their action or consideration.





Subject to the approval of the then current shareholders, the Board of Directors is empowered to designate and issue from time to time one or more classes or series of Preferred Stock and to fix and determine the relative rights, preferences, designations, qualifications, privileges, options, conversion rights, limitations and other special or relative rights of each such class or series so authorized. If approved by the shareholders, such action could adversely affect the voting power and other rights of the holders of the Company’s capital shares or could have the effect of discouraging or making difficult any attempt by a person or group to obtain control of the Company.





Dividend Policy





It is unlikely that we will declare or pay cash dividends in the foreseeable future. We intend to retain earnings, if any, to expand our operations.
