(d) Appointment of
Director
Prior
to the resignation of Mr. Causey, the Board of Directors appointed Mr. Sameer
Deeb, Mr, Werner Kurn and Mr. Michael Knox to serve as members of the
Registrant’s Board of Directors. Currently, the Registrant does not
have separate committees within the Board of Directors such as an Audit,
Nominating, or Governance committees due to having limited
resources. Therefore, Mr. Deeb, Mr. Kurn and Mr. Knox will
participate with the Registrant’s entire board of directors in performing some
of the functions associated with these separate
committees. Additionally, as a result of having limited resources the
Registrant does not currently have an established compensation package for board
members; however, in the event we are able to compensate board members, Mr.
Deeb, Mr. Kurn and Mr. Knox will be entitled to any established directors’
compensation.
