Lock-Up Agreements

In connection with the Mergers, on the Closing Date, the Issuer, Selling Source, the NYPG Holder, and certain other holders and pledgees of the Common Stock of the Issuer entered into Lock-up Agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”), pursuant to which each of such parties agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase, or otherwise transfer or dispose any of their shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, for 12 months after the Closing Date.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Mergers, on the Closing Date, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Signing Holders, which requires, among other things, from time to time, upon the demand of the Signing Holders holding at least 30% of the shares issued in the Mergers, Ascend, subject to the terms and conditions under the Registration Rights Agreement, to use its best efforts to register for public sale the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer acquired by the Signing Holders as consideration in the Mergers.

Subject to certain limitations, the Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Signing Holders with certain piggyback registration rights for underwritten public offerings that Ascend may effect for its own account or for the benefit of other selling stockholders.

Escrow Agreement

In connection with the Mergers, on the Closing Date, to provide for the indemnification obligations of Ascend, Selling Source and the NYPG Holder, Ascend, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company and representatives of each of Selling Source, the NYPG Holder and Ascend entered into an escrow agreement, pursuant to which an aggregate amount of shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the Ascend Common Stock (the “Escrow Shares”) received by Selling Source and the NYPG Holder at closing was deposited in escrow.

In connection with the Mergers, on the Closing Date, Selling Source and the NYPG Holder entered into the Voting Rights Agreement, which requires, among other things, that if Selling Source exercises its right to nominate individuals to serve on Ascend’s board of directors, the NYPG Holder

The Voting Rights Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties thereunder shall terminate upon Selling Source ceasing to be the beneficial or record owner of more than 30% of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer received in connection with the Mergers or if the NYPG Holder ceases to be employed as the Chief Executive Officer of Ascend.

(c) No Conflicts. Neither the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will conflict with or constitute a violation of or a default under (with or without notice, lapse of time or both) any contract, agreement, voting agreement, shareholders’ agreement, trust agreement, voting trust, proxy, power of attorney, pooling arrangement, note, mortgage, indenture, instrument, arrangement or other obligation or restriction of any kind to which the Stockholder is a party or which the Stockholder or the Shares are subject to or bound.

(d) No Other Agreements. The Stockholder is not a party to any other contract, agreement, trust, proxy or arrangement which limits, restricts or directs the voting of the Shares, other than this Agreement.

Section 2. Voting Restrictions.

(a) In the event Selling Source elects to nominate individuals to serve as members of the Company’s Board of Directors (such individuals, the “Selling Source Nominees”), the Stockholder shall vote for the Selling Source Nominees to serve as directors. In the case of a vacancy in the office of a director elected pursuant to this Section 2(a), Selling Source shall have the right, but not the obligation, to nominate a successor to such Selling Source Nominee and the Stockholder shall vote all Shares to elect such new Selling Source Nominee pursuant to this Section 2(a). Any director who shall have been elected pursuant to this Section 2(a) may be removed during the aforesaid term of office, whether with or without cause, only upon the written direction by Selling Source to the Stockholder to remove such director, following which the Stockholder agrees to vote all Shares in favor of such removal. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Stockholder shall not be required by this Agreement to vote the Shares in any manner that would or may result in removing Robert S.K. Regular from the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b) None of the parties hereto and no officer, director, stockholder, partner, employee or agent of any party makes any representation or warranty as to the fitness or competence of the nominee of any party hereunder to serve on the Board by virtue of such party’s execution of this Agreement or by the act of such party in voting for such nominee pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) The voting of the Shares may be effected in person, by proxy, by written consent or in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

Section 3. Reserved.

Section 4. Transferees Subject to Voting Agreement; No Voting Trusts.

The Stockholder hereby agrees that any permitted transferee of the Shares must become a party to this Agreement and any purported transfer of the Shares to a person or entity that does not become a party hereto shall be null and void ab initio. The Stockholder hereby agrees not to deposit any of the Shares in a voting trust, grant any proxies with respect to the Shares or subject any of the Shares to any arrangement with respect to the voting of the Shares other than pursuant to this Agreement or any other agreements entered into with Selling Source.

Section 5. Specific Performance.

The Stockholder acknowledges that it would be impossible to determine the amount of damages that would result from any breach of any obligation under this Agreement and that the remedy at law for any breach, or threatened breach, would likely be inadequate and, accordingly, agree that Selling Source shall, in addition to any other rights or remedies which it may have at law or in equity, be entitled to seek such equitable and injunctive relief as may be available from any court of competent jurisdiction to restrain the Stockholder from violating any obligation under this Agreement. In connection with any action or proceeding for such equitable or injunctive relief, the Stockholder hereby waives any claim or defense that a remedy at law alone is adequate and agree, to the maximum extent permitted by law, to have the obligations of the Stockholder under this Agreement specifically enforced against him, without the necessity of posting bond or other security, and consent to the entry of equitable or injunctive relief against the Stockholder enjoining or restraining any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

Section 6. Further Assurances.

(a) The Stockholder agrees to use his best efforts to ensure that the rights given to the parties hereunder are effective and that the parties enjoy the benefits thereof. The Stockholder will not, by any voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be performed hereunder by the Stockholder, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all of the provisions of this Agreement and in the taking of all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the rights of the parties hereunder against impairment.

(b) Each of the parties hereto shall cooperate with the other parties and execute and deliver to the other parties, such instruments and documents and take such other actions as may be reasonably requested from time to time in order to carry out, give effect to and confirm their rights and intended purpose of this Agreement.

Section 7. Term and Termination.

The term of this Agreement shall commence on the date first set forth above and will continue until Selling Source beneficially owns (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) less than thirty percent (30%) of the shares of the Company’s common stock that were issued to Selling Source in the

-3-

Mergers as a result of sales by Selling Source of such shares. This Agreement will also terminate automatically if (i)London Bay Capital, LLC or its affiliates cease to control Selling Source Robert S.K Regular is no longer employed as Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
