Mr. Benoit has never entered into a transaction with the Company in which he had, or would have, a material direct or indirect interest.

Shawn Patrick Benoit is a 1997 graduate of the University of Louisiana-Lafayette, where he earned a B.S. in Biology, with Chemistry and French minors.  Mr. Benoit went on to attain the degree of Juris Doctor at Loyola University New Orleans in 2002, and was admitted to practice before the Louisiana Supreme Court and all lower Louisiana courts the same year.  Mr. Benoit began his law career as Assistant District Attorney for Orleans Parish, where he was head prosecutor in several sections of Criminal District Court for the Parish of Orleans.  Thereafter, Mr. Benoit returned to the Lafayette area to civil practice, where he specialized in worker's compensation, longshore, Social Security, personal injury, employment, and consumer advocacy cases.  In addition to his civil practice, Mr. Benoit provided free representation to victims of domestic violence, and was twice awarded Outstanding Attorney by the Lafayette Parish Bar Association for his contributions.  Mr. Benoit joined Technical Industries, Inc. in October 2007 and currently serves as Legal Counsel, where he represents that company's interests relating to administration, personnel, contractual agreements, governmental affairs, as well as in other legal matters as necessary.
