The Reporting Persons originally purchased Common Stock based on the Reporting Persons’ belief that the shares of Common Stock, when purchased, were undervalued and represented an attractive investment opportunity.  The Reporting Persons intend to review their investment in the Issuer on a continuing basis and in connection therewith, intend to discuss with the Issuer ways in which such undervaluation can be corrected.  The Reporting Persons may engage the Issuer in discussions regarding the Issuer’s assets, business, capitalization, financial condition or operations. 
 
Subject to applicable law and regulations, and depending upon certain factors, including without limitation, general market and investment conditions, the financial performance of the Issuer, and the availability of shares of Common Stock at prices that would make the purchase of shares of Common Stock desirable, the Reporting Persons intend to increase their position in the Issuer through, among other things, the purchase of shares of Common Stock on the open market or in private transactions or otherwise, on such terms and at such times as the Reporting Persons may deem advisable.
 
Based on the above discussions with the Issuer and depending upon certain other factors, including without limitation, general market and investment conditions, the financial performance of the Issuer, and the availability of shares of Common Stock at prices that would make the purchase or sale of shares of Common Stock desirable, the Reporting Persons may in the future take such actions with respect to their investment in the Issuer as they deem appropriate including, without limitation, nominating or recommending candidates to serve as members of the Board of Directors of the Issuer (the “Board”), having discussions with other stockholders and potential nominees to the Board, making proposals to the Issuer concerning changes to the capitalization, ownership structure, operations, or Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Issuer, or changing their intention with respect to any and all matters referred to in this Item 4.
 
No Reporting Person has any present plan or proposal which would relate to or result in any of the matters set forth in subparagraphs (a) – (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D except as set forth herein or such as would occur upon completion of any of the actions discussed herein.

WHEREAS, the undersigned wish to form a group (the “Group”) for the purpose of coordinating their actions with respect to acquiring or disposing of shares of Common Stock and engaging the Company in discussions involving certain matters.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:

1.  
In accordance with Rule 13d-1(k) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, the Group agrees to the joint filing on behalf of each of them of a statement on Schedule 13D (including amendments thereto) with respect to the Common Stock and that this Agreement be included as an Exhibit to such joint filing.  Each of the undersigned acknowledges that each shall be responsible for the timely filing of any statement (including amendments) on Schedule 13D, and for the completeness and accuracy of the information concerning him or it contained herein, but shall not be responsible for the completeness and accuracy of the information concerning the other persons making such filings, except to the extent that he or it knows or has reason to believe that such information is inaccurate.

2.  
So long as this Agreement is in effect, each member of the Group shall provide written notice to Boies, Schiller & Flexner LLP (“BSF”) of (i) any of its purchases or sales of securities of the Company or (ii) any securities of the Company over which they acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership.  Notice shall be given no later than 24 hours after each such transaction.

3.  
Each of the undersigned agrees to form the Group for the purpose of (i) coordinating their actions with respect to the purchase or sale of shares of Common Stock and (ii) coordinating their actions with respect to any discussions with the Company regarding the Company’s assets, business, capitalization, financial condition or operations.  For the term of this agreement, each member of the Group agrees to treat any confidential and proprietary information provided by any other member of the Group as confidential, subject to applicable laws and regulations.

4.  
To the extent that expenses are incurred by a member of the Group in connection with investments in the Company, each member of the Group will pay a  portion of the expenses incurred by such group, pro rata based on their respective holdings; provided that SRB Management and Kleinheinz will have the right to pre-approve all such expenses.

5.  
Each of the undersigned agrees that any SEC filing, press release or shareholder communication proposed to be made or issued by the Group or any member of the Group in connection with the Group’s activities set forth in Paragraph 3 shall be first approved by SRB Management and Kleinheinz, or their respective representatives, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

6.  
The relationship of the parties hereto shall be limited to carrying on the business of the Group in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  Such relationship shall be construed and deemed to be for the sole and limited purpose of carrying on such business as described herein.  Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize any party to act as an agent for any other party, or to create a joint venture or partnership, or to constitute an indemnification.  Nothing herein shall restrict any party’s right to purchase or sell securities of the Company, as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion, provided that all such sales are made in compliance with all applicable securities laws.  Each party hereto retains sole discretion over acquisitions and dispositions of and voting authority over, the shares of Common Stock that each party holds or beneficially owns.

8.  
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by one counterpart.

9.  
This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with and governed by the laws of the State of New York. If any provision hereof would be invalid under applicable law, then such provision shall be deemed modified to the extent necessary to render it valid while most nearly preserving its original intent. No provision hereof shall be affected as a result of another provision being held invalid.  In the event of any dispute arising out of the provisions of this Agreement, the parties hereto consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the State of New York.

10.  
This Agreement shall be binding upon any affiliated person of any of the undersigned who becomes or may be deemed to have become the beneficial owner of any Common Stock, unless otherwise terminated by such affiliated person.  Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the parties hereto and their permitted successors and assigns, and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other person or entity, any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement. No party hereto may assign any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any person without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto.
