Effective June 11, 2014, Congressman Anthony L. Coelho was elected to the Company’s Board of Directors to fill a vacancy on the Board as a result of the resignation of Sean Bradley which was also effective June 11, 2014.

Mr. Coelho was a member of the U.S. House of Representatives from 1978 to 1989. After leaving Congress, he joined Wertheim Schroder & Company, an investment banking firm in New York and became President and CEO of Wertheim Schroder Financial Services from 1990 to 1995. From 1995 to 1997, he served as Chairman and CEO of an education and training technology company that he established and subsequently sold. He served as general chairman of the presidential campaign of former Vice President Al Gore from April 1999 until June 2000. Since 1997, Mr. Coelho has worked independently as a business and political consultant. Mr. Coelho also served as Chairman of the President’s Committee on Employment of People with Disabilities from 1994 to 2001. He previously served as Chairman of the Board of the Epilepsy Foundation.

Mr. Coelho has served on a number of corporate boards.

Mr. Coelho earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Political Science from Loyola Marymount University in 1964.

The Company’s Board of Directors believes that Mr. Coelho should serve as a director of the Company because of his political acumen and contacts as well as his executive, financial and business experience as described above.

In connection with his election, Mr. Coelho has been granted five-year options to purchase up to 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.35 per share, with options to purchase 50,000 shares vesting immediately and 50,000 vesting every ninety-day period thereafter.
