Eric P. Credle, David G. Grigg, Anna G. Hollers and Jerry L. Ocheltree that each of their respective employment agreements with
the Registrant would not automatically renew for an additional one year period on their next anniversary date. Each of these employees
is a named executive officer of the Registrant. The employment agreements for each employee will remain in effect until they expire
(or are replaced with another agreement) under their current terms. The employment agreements now expire on the following dates:
Mr. Credle &ndash; August 17, 2014, Mr. Grigg &ndash; August 17, 2013, Ms. Hollers &ndash; August 17, 2014 and Mr. Ocheltree &ndash;
January 25, 2015.</P>

<P STYLE="font: 10pt Times New Roman, Times, Serif; margin: 5pt 0; text-indent: 0.25in">This action was taken by the Compensation
Committee of the Registrant (the &ldquo;Committee) based on consultations with a third-party compensation consultant that resulted
in the Committee concluding that all of the Registrant&rsquo;s employment agreements should be fully reviewed to ensure conformance
with current industry norms. The Committee intends that in the near future a new employment agreement will be entered into with
each of the employees named above.</P>
