  The Managing Director’s employment contract has a three year term commencing 1 January 2014 with base remuneration of 
  US$370,000 per year which is reviewed annually by the Remuneration and Nominations Committee. He is eligible to participate 
  in the Incentive Compensation Plan. The Managing Director is entitled to the specified remuneration and benefits through the 
  term of the agreement. The Company may terminate the Managing Director’s employment at any time for good cause (for 
  example, material breach of contract, gross negligence) without notice and the Managing Director may give 90 days’ notice to 
  terminate the employment contract; both of which result in the Managing Director receiving pay through the period of services 
  performed.
