(a)  Series C Director Gregory P.

He is also a member of the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.  As disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, ICM is a substantial equity owner of and lender to the Company and, in addition, the Company is party to certain contractual relationships with ICM.
