ITEM 13. CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS, AND DIRECTOR INDEPENDENCE
Certain Relationships and Related Transactions
Director Independence
As of December 31, 2008 our board consisted of Mr. Paul Feller, who was not an independent director as defined by NASDAQ rules. Starting April 30, 2009 our board of directors is comprised of a majority of independent directors as defined by NASDAQ Rules.
Independent Directors. As of April 2009 the independent directors of the Board were Randy Cross and Glen Golenberg. As of October 2009, Michael Dunleavy, Sr. was added as an independent director. Each of these directors qualifies as an independent director in accordance with the published listing requirements of the NASDAQ Stock Market. In addition, our chairman of the board of directors has made a subjective determination as to each independent director that no relationships exist which, in the opinion of our chairman of the board of directors, would interfere with the exercise of independent judgment in carrying out the responsibilities of a director.
