Chief Executive Officer, serves as the principal interface between management

his career at the Company provide him with significant leadership, industry,

Taylor and 3,657 shares were withheld.

Board significant executive and operational corporate experience. His
service as a director of other public companies has assisted Mr. Clark in
bringing strong and effective leadership to the Board, as well as unique
strategic and business insights into the Company. Mr. Clark's strong
experience has also facilitated his position as Chairman of the Nominating and
Compensation Committees. The Company believes that these attributes
qualify him to serve as a member of the board of directors.
