Mr. Mikel has over thirty years’ experience in both the financial and operating sides of the oil and gas business.  From 2004 to 2011, he served as the President and Chief Executive Officer of various private equity funded Chroma companies.  He also served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Southern Mineral Corp. (a NASDAQ listed company) from January 1995 until its merger in 2001.  He co-founded Resource Investors Management Company (RIMCO), an oil and gas investment management company, in 1984, and served as its Managing Director from October 1985 to April 1993.  He began his career as a corporate finance attorney in Hartford, Connecticut, and then worked in finance with Aetna Life and Casualty, where he specialized in the natural resource industries. Mr. Mikel received his B.A. and J.D. degrees from Syracuse University and his M.B.A. from the University of Connecticut.

The Company and Mr. Mikel have entered into an employment agreement which has been approved the Company’s Board of Directors.  Pursuant to this agreement, Mr. Mikel will receive an annual salary of $120,000, which will be increased to $200,000 per year once certain goals related to the Company’s oil and gas production volumes and net cash flow, as mutually agreed upon by Mr. Mikel and the Board of Directors within the six month anniversary date of his employment, have been met.  He will also receive an initial grant of options to purchase 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock at an exercise price of $0.65 per share.  Of these options, 200,000 shares will vest immediately and the remaining 1,800,000 shares will vest ratably over a three year period.  In the event of a change of control of the Company, he will receive immediate vesting of all unvested stock options.
