From 1999 to 2006, Mr. Lee worked for ExxonMobil, where he distinguished himself as Lead Drilling Engineer on the firm’s multi-billion dollar European Development Drilling Project in Norway for four years, during which time he drilled multiple extended reach wells.  Mr. Lee also has drilling experience in the Rockies, West Texas and the Gulf of Mexico. Mr. Lee graduated from the MIT with dual BS degrees in Mechanical Engineering and Political Science and received his MBA from The Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania.

As more fully described in our Current Report on Form 8-K, filed July 7, 2012, we have entered into certain transactions with ASYM and its affiliates (the “ASYM Transactions”), including a debt financing arrangement and a management services agreement (the “Management Services Agreement”).

As an employee of ASYM, Mr. Lee may have an indirect interest in the ASYM Transactions.

Mr. Lee has not previously held any positions with the Company and except as set forth above, there have been no related party transactions between Mr. Lee and the Company.  Mr. Lee has no family relationships with any director or executive officer of the Company, or persons nominated or chosen by the Company to become directors or executive officers.
