Agreement
Now, Therefore, in consideration of the foregoing and of the covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Tender of Common Stock and Holder Release
1.1 Common Stock. Upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Holder hereby irrevocably tenders to International Securities Group Inc. (“ISG”), as agent for Holder, the Sold Shares and the Tendered Shares, with the Sold Shares to be sold and transferred as instructed by Holder and with the Tendered Shares to be surrendered to the Issuer, not less than one nor more than five business days following the Effective Time of the Merger (as such terms are defined in the Merger Agreement), for cancelation. ISG agrees to hold and administer the Sold Shares and the Tendered Shares as hereby instructed by Holder, including future instruction as to the parties to receive transfer of the Sold Shares. In the event the Effective Time has not occurred on or before March 31, 2010, ISG will re-deliver the Sold Shares and the Tendered Shares back to Holder. Holder agrees that the Tendered Shares shall be canceled by the Issuer upon tender to the Issuer by ISG in accordance with this Agreement It is the specific intent of Holder and the Issuer that any such cancelation will include shares of capital stock, if any, issued or issuable in respect of Tendered Shares in connection with the Dividend (such that for
1
purposes of this Agreement the term “Tendered Shares” will, as the context requires, include the original Tendered Shares and any such shares of capital stock issued as a Dividend in respect thereof). The effective time of cancelation of the Tendered Shares is referred to herein as the “Cancelation Time.”
1.2 New Certificate for Unsurrendered Shares. Issuer agrees that, at the Cancelation Time, the Issuer will issue to Holder or to such person(s) as are designated by Holder a new certificate or certificates representing any of Holder’s Shares that do not constitute either Sold Shares or Tendered Shares.

1.3.2 Holder acknowledges that it is familiar with the provisions of law that provide that a general release does not extend to claims which the creditor does not know or expect to exist in his or her favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by him or her must have materially affected his or her settlement with the debtor (the “Limiting Principle”).
1.3.3 Holder acknowledges that it may have sustained damages, losses, costs, or expenses by reason of an act, failure to act, event, or matter that are presently unknown and unsuspected and that such damages, losses, costs, or expenses as may have been sustained may give rise to additional damages, losses, costs, or expenses in the future. Nevertheless, Holder hereby expressly waives any and all rights it may have under the Limiting Principle, or under any other state or federal statute or common law principle of similar effect relating to the Issuer Released Claims.
1.3.4 Issuer acknowledges that the Holder’s Shares, including the Tendered Shares and the Sold Shares, constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms and that the Sold Shares that will be represented by a new certificate, following the Cancelation Time, will constitute valid and binding obligations of the Issuer, enforceable against the Issuer in accordance with their terms.
1.4 Issuer Release.

2
claimed, direct or indirect, fixed or contingent, whether now existing or hereafter arising, that relate to, arise from, are connected with, or in any manner concern any and all obligations of Holder owing to the Issuer that were in existence prior to the date hereof (the “Holder Released Claims”).
1.4.1 Issuer expressly acknowledges and understands that the Holder Released Claims include, without limitation, any and all claims or causes of action against the Holder Released Parties based on theories of alter ego, principal-agent, conspiracy, successor liability, fraudulent conveyance law, or the like.
1.4.2 Issuer acknowledges that it is familiar with the Limiting Principle.
1.4.3 Issuer acknowledges that it may have sustained damages, losses, costs, or expenses by reason of an act, failure to act, event, or matter that are presently unknown and unsuspected and that such damages, losses, costs, or expenses as may have been sustained may give rise to additional damages, losses, costs, or expenses in the future. Nevertheless, the Issuer hereby expressly waives any and all rights it may have under the Limiting Principle, or under any other state or federal statute or common law principle of similar effect relating to the Holder Released Claims.
