Effective May 15, 2012, Resources (or “Company”) entered into a Change in Control Agreement with Mr. Paul W. Nester that provides certain benefits in the event of a “Change in Control.” For purposes of this agreement, a “Change in Control” occurs when (i) any person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of at least 50% of the combined voting power of the Company’s voting securities; (ii) any person or entity becomes the beneficial owner of at least 50% of the voting securities of the surviving entity following a merger, recapitalization, reorganization, consolidation or sale of assets by the Company; or (iii) the Company is liquidated or sells substantially all of its assets. In the event that his employment with the Company is terminated within 24 months of the date of a Change in Control, unless the termination is (a) because of his death or disability, (b) for Cause (as defined in the agreement) or (c) by him other than for Good Reason (as defined in the agreement), then he will receive a severance payment equal to 1.5 times his average annual compensation over the prior five tax years. This severance payment will be reduced to the extent necessary to avoid certain federal excise taxes. Also, in such event, the Company will continue his life insurance, medical, health and accident and disability plans, programs or arrangements until the earlier of 24 months after the date of the Change in Control, his death, or his full-time employment. The agreement does not require Mr. Nester to seek employment to mitigate any payments or benefits provided thereunder. Mr. Nester became the Vice President, Chairman and CFO of the Company effective May 16, 2012

Effective May 15, 2012, Resources and Mr. Howard T. Lyon mutually agreed to terminate the Change in Control Agreement between the Company and Mr. Lyon that was executed effective May 1, 2010. The terminated agreement was similar to the agreement entered into between the Company and Mr. Nester as described above. Mr. Lyon currently serves as the Director of Accounting and is the Company’s Assistant Secretary and Assistant Treasurer.

(e) Compensatory Arrangements of Certain Officers.

The information required by this Item 5.02 is set forth in Item 1.01 above in respect of Mr. Nester’s Change in Control Agreement, which is incorporated herein by reference.
