· Kingsley, Goldman, Richards, Haarlem, Delisle and Byron resign any position that they hold as a director and officer of any issuer and be prohibited from becoming or acting as a director or officer of any issuer;

· the Respondents be prohibited from engaging in investor relations activities; and

· the Respondents be prohibited from disseminating to the public, or authorizing the dissemination to the public of, any advertisements and sales materials that are materially misleading or otherwise likely to deceive the public, including, but not limited to, those materials that relate to referenced offers for sale of the securities of Tri-West.
