In addition he has held managing positions in convertible securities groups at H&Q, Chase, PaineWebber, and UBS. Mr. Calligar was selected for our Board of Directors due to his experience raising capital in both equity and debt markets.

REVH20 holds a minority membership interest in Williston Basin 1, LLC, of which Sionix Corporation is a 60% member. REVH20 holds common shares and warrants in Sionix Corporation, and certain of its principals are shareholders of Sionix Corporation common stock.
Mr. Calligar will receive a quarterly stipend of $7,500 for his Board service, which is payable in common stock the amount of which is based on the volume weighted average price of our common stock for the period of his service compensated. There is no arrangement between Mr. Calligar and any other person pursuant to which he was selected as a director. There is no family relationship between Mr. Calligar and any of our directors or executive officers. Mr. Calligar is not expected to be named to any committee of the board of directors at this time. Other than the transaction described above, there was no transaction since October 1, 2010 that would be required to be reported pursuant to Item 404(a) of Regulation S-K.
