Lewis P. Jones III is Managing Principal Co-Founder at 5 Stone Green Capital, an asset management firm that focuses on energy efficient and sustainably designed green real estate developments, since 2010. Mr. Jones was an executive from 1988 to 2009 at JPMorgan Chase (and predecessor banks), including serving as the Co-Portfolio Manager of the JPMorgan Urban Renaissance Property Fund and a senior member of the Acquisitions Team at JP Morgan Asset Management. Mr. Jones also previously served as President of the Chase Community Development Corporation. The Board of the Company has appointed Mr. Jones to serve until the 2014 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Mr. Jones has been appointed by the Company’s Board to the Asset Liability and Interest Rate Risk Committee and the Finance and Audit Committee.

Kenneth Knuckles is President and Chief Executive Officer of the Upper Manhattan Empowerment Zone Development Corporation (“UMEZ”), since 2003. Mr. Knuckles is also Vice Chair of the New York City Planning Commission. Prior to joining UMEZ, Mr. Knuckles was Vice President of Support Services and Chief Procurement Officer at Columbia University. The Board of the Company has appointed Mr. Knuckles to serve until the 2015 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
