There are no family relationships between Mr. Dudley and any other director or executive officer of the Company.  The Company had no transactions, and has no transaction proposed, in which Mr. Dudley, or any member of his immediate family, has a direct or indirect material interest.

Mr. Dudley replaces Mr. Thomas Burton in this role who has now accepted a new role as Executive Vice President, Federal Sector.  In this newly created role, Mr. Burton will manage the Company’s ongoing Department of Defense relationship, including the roll out of our new surplus contract, and will also pursue selected new business opportunities in the Federal sector. In connection with his appointment as Executive Vice President, Federal Sector, the Company and Mr. Burton intend to amend his current Executive Employment Agreement.
