Dr.&nbsp;Smith exercisable until May&nbsp;25, 2014. During the first two years of the Option Contract, the exercise price was $6.00 per share and the release of Dr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s guaranty of the Issuer&#146;s $1,500,000 line of credit with Texas
Capital Bank, N.A. During the third and fourth years after the execution of the Option Contract, the exercise price would have been $10.00 per share and the release of Dr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s guaranty. On June&nbsp;10, 2011, Dr.&nbsp;Smith and NTR

Issuer&#146;s $1,500,000 line of credit with Texas Capital Bank, N.A, NTR exercised its right to purchase the remaining 600,000 Common Shares under the Option Contract. Following the release of Dr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s guaranty of the Issuer&#146;s
line of credit, the NTR Irrevocable Proxy will terminate and pursuant to the terms of the Agreement to Execute Smith Irrevocable Proxy, Dr.&nbsp;Smith will be required to deliver to NTR the Smith Irrevocable Proxy within 30 days of the release of
the guaranty. Under the Agreement to Execute Smith Irrevocable Proxy, Dr.&nbsp;Smith is required to execute and deliver the Smith Irrevocable Proxy in favor of NTR upon (a)&nbsp;NTR&#146;s full exercise of the Option Contract or
(b)&nbsp;Dr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s death or the appointment of a legal guardian for Dr.&nbsp;Smith due to incapacity by reason of physical or mental condition. The term of this proxy will be effective until May&nbsp;25, 2014. The Smith Irrevocable Proxy
will allow NTR to vote Dr.&nbsp;Smith&#146;s Common Shares with respect to any matter regarding the Issuer on which Dr.&nbsp;Smith is entitled to vote. Following the receipt by NTR of the Smith Irrevocable Proxy NTR will have voting control of the
Issuer, including the ability to elect all members of the board of directors. As a result of the exercise of the Option Contract, third-party proxies granting Dr.&nbsp;Smith voting power over 556,976 Common Shares terminated. </FONT></P>
