As disclosed in Note 15 – "Related Party Transactions – Christopher Leichtweis", pursuant to a Indemnification Agreement, SEC, Leichtweis and his spouse ("Leichtweis Parties"), jointly and severally, agreed to indemnify the individual surety with respect to contingent liabilities that may be incurred by the individual surety under certain of SEC's bonded projects. In addition, SEC has agreed to indemnify Leichtweis Parties against judgments, penalties, fines, and expense associated with those SEC performance bonds that Leichtweis has agreed to indemnify in the event SEC cannot perform. The Indemnification Agreement provided by SEC to Leichtweis Parties also provides for compensating Leichtweis Parties at a rate of 0.75% of the value of bonds (60% having been paid previously and the balance at substantial completion of the contract). On February 14, 2013, the Company entered into a Settlement and Release Agreement and Amendment to Employment Agreement (the "Leichtweis Settlement), in settlement of certain claims made by the Company against Leichtweis in connection with certain Disputed Claims asserted by the Company against TNC subsequent to the acquisition of SEC on October 31, 2011. The Leichtweis Settlement terminated the obligations of the Company and its subsidiaries to pay a fee to the Leichtweis Parties under the Indemnification Agreement.

Leichtweis Employment Agreement provides for an annual base salary of $324,480, plus bonus under certain conditions, and is effective for four years. The Leichtweis Settlement, as discussed above, amended the Leichtweis Employment Agreement by reducing the base salary of Leichtweis by $30,000 per year commencing the earlier occurrence of (i) the date the Company files its 2012 Form 10‑K with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or (ii) April 1, 2013, and continuing for a period of three years from such date (or, if the Leichtweis Employment Agreement is earlier terminated, through the date of such earlier termination).

On March 7, 2013, PFNWR, a subsidiary of ours, received a Notice of Intent to File Administrative Complaint from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA"), alleging PFNWR had improperly stored certain mixed waste. If a settlement is not reached between the Company and EPA in connection with these alleged violations within 120 days of initiating negotiations, the EPA has advised it will initiate an action for civil penalties for these alleged violations. The EPA could seek penalties up to $37,500 per day per violation.

Reverse Stock Split

At the 2013 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the "Meeting") held on September 12, 2013, the Company's stockholders approved a reverse stock split at a ratio within the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-7 and authorized the Board of Directors, without further action of the stock holders, to amend the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, to effect a reverse stock split of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company's Common Stock and outstanding stock options and warrants at a ratio within the range of 1-for-2 to 1-for-7 at any time prior to November 8, 2013, with the exact ratio and effective date of the reverse stock split to be determined by the Board of Directors. Subsequent to the Meeting, our Board of Directors approved the ratio of the reverse stock split to be a 1-for-5 reverse stock split, with such reverse stock split to be effective October 15, 2013, upon filing of the certificate of amendment to our Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended.

The Company filed a certificate of amendment to the Company's Restated Certificate of Incorporation, as amended, with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware to effect a reverse stock split ratio of 1-for 5 of the Company's Common Stock ("Common Stock"). The reverse stock split became effective as of 12:01 a.m. on October 15, 2013. As a result of the reverse stock split, each five shares of the outstanding Common Stock and shares held in treasury was combined into one share of Common Stock without any change to the par value per share of $.001. In addition, the number of shares covered by each outstanding stock option and warrant as of October 15, 2013, and the exercise price thereof were adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split. The reverse stock split did not affect the number of authorized shares of Common Stock which remains at 75,000,000. No fractional shares of Common Stock will be issued as a result of the reverse stock split. Instead, stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to receive a fractional share of Common Stock as a consequence of the reverse stock split will be entitled to receive cash in lieu of all such fractional shares.

The primary reason for implementing this reverse stock split was to increase the market price per share of our Common Stock in order to regain compliance with the NASDAQ's continued listing criteria related to Minimum Bid Price Rule. On October 29, 2013, we received a letter from the NASDAQ Stock Market indicating that we had regained compliance with the minimum bid price requirement under NASDAQ Listing Rule 5550(a)(2) for continued listing on the NASDAQ Capital Market. The Company's Common Stock continues to be listed on the NASDAQ Capital Market.

As a result of this reverse stock split, all references in the financial statements and notes thereto to the number of shares outstanding, per share amounts, and stock option and warrant data of the Company's Common Stock have been restated to reflect the effect of the stock split for all periods presented.
