Mr. Feldman's allegations were previously disclosed in the Company's Form 8-K filed with the Commission on December 1, 2009. The members of the committee are Mr. Tippett, who will act as Chairman, and Mr. Terry. The committee has responsibility for the investigation and the Company's legal defense of the complaint before the Department of Labor. The committee has engaged Lisa Grafstein, of the Law Office of Lisa Grafstein, P.L.L.C., as independent legal counsel.
