 Compensation Committee does not take material nonpublic information into account when determining the timing and terms of such awards. This grant timing is used to provide for a routine and regular grant practice regarding all employees, and to make sure that the existence (or lack thereof) of material non-public information is not a factor in decisions about the timing or size of option grants. Similarly, the Company has not timed the disclosure of material nonpublic information for the purpose of affecting the value of executive compensation.

The Company has no plan that provides for the payment of a named executive officer following or in connection with the resignation, retirement or other termination of a named executive officer, or a change in control of the smaller reporting company or a change in the named executive officer’s responsibilities following a change in control.
