      at which two or more of our shareholders reside, if we or your broker believe
      that the shareholders are members of the same family. This practice, referred

      information received at your household and helps to reduce our expenses. The
      rule applies to our annual reports, proxy statements and information statements.
      Once you receive notice from your broker or from us that communications to
      your
      address will be &#8220;householded,&#8221; the practice will continue until you are

      Compensation Plan (the &#8220;Plan&#8221;) to be granted on or about May 1 of each calendar

      of

      shall also receive an annual retainer fee of $20,000 and $3,000 for each
      in-person board meeting attended and $1,000 for each telephonic board meeting
      attended. In addition, each member of the audit committee (except the chairman)

      are defined in the Consulting Agreement), Washington Capital Advisors is
      entitled to receive its base compensation as and when it would otherwise be
