The Company has been named as a defendant in certain lawsuits in the normal course of business. It is the policy of management to disclose the amount or range of reasonably possible losses. In the opinion of management, after consulting with legal counsel, the liabilities, if any, resulting from these matters should not have a material effect on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

The Company has entered into employment agreements with certain members of senior management, the terms of which expire on January 1, 2014 through January 1, 2016. The terms of these agreements are up to three years, include non-compete and non-disclosure provisions, and provide for defined severance payments in the event of termination.
