PART III
 
Item 13.  Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence

The Board of Directors of the Company reviews all relationships and transactions in which the Company and its directors and executive officers or their immediate family members are participants to determine whether such persons have a direct or indirect material interest. The Board of Directors is primarily responsible for the development and implementation of processes and controls to obtain information from the directors and executive officers with respect to related person transactions and for then determining, based on the facts and circumstances, whether the Company or a related person has a direct or indirect material interest in the transaction. As required under SEC rules, transactions that are determined to be directly or indirectly material to the Company or a related person are disclosed in the Company’s proxy statement. In addition, the Audit Committee reviews and approves or ratifies any related person transaction that is required to be disclosed. In the course of its review and approval or ratification of a related party transaction to be disclosed, the Audit Committee considers: (i) the nature of the related person’s interest in the transaction; (ii) the material terms of the transaction, including, without limitation, the amount and type of transaction; (iii) the importance of the transaction to the related person; (iv) the importance of the transaction to the Company; (v) whether the transaction would impair the judgment of a director or executive officer to act in the best interest of the Company; and (vi) any other matters the committee deems appropriate.

Any member of the Board of Directors who is a related person with respect to a transaction under review may not participate in the deliberations or vote respecting approval or ratification of the transaction, provided, however, that such director may be counted in determining the presence of a quorum at a meeting of the committee that considers the transaction.

In June 2004, when Newcastle Partners, L.P. (“Newcastle”) acquired the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, Mark Schwarz, Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of Newcastle Capital Management, L.P. (“NCM”), Steven J. Pully, former President of NCM, and John Murray, Chief Financial Officer of NCM, assumed positions as Chairman of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, respectively, of the Company. Through August 2007, Mr. Pully received an annual salary of $150,000 as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.  Mr. Pully resigned as Chief Executive Officer of the Company effective October 15, 2007.  Mr. Schwarz is currently the acting Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
 
Newcastle owns 19,380,768 shares of Common Stock of the Company, representing approximately 36% of the outstanding shares.  NCM, as the general partner of Newcastle, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock owned by Newcastle.  Newcastle Capital Group, L.L.C. (“NCG”), as the general partner of NCM, may be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock owned by Newcastle.  Mark Schwarz, as the managing member of NCG, may also be deemed to beneficially own the shares of Common Stock owned by Newcastle.  Accordingly, Newcastle, NCM, NCG and Mr. Schwarz may be deemed to control the Company.

The Company’s corporate headquarters are currently located at 200 Crescent Court, Suite 1400, Dallas, Texas 75201, which are also the offices of NCM.  Pursuant to an oral agreement, the Company previously occupied a portion of NCM’s space on a month-to-month basis at no charge, and received accounting and administrative services from employees of NCM at no charge.  Pursuant to a services agreement entered into between the parties on October 1, 2006, the Company occupies a portion of NCM’s space on a month-to-month basis at $2,500 per month.
