ORMAND, JON SCHOTZ, CHARLES A. NORRIS, STEPHEN N. CASATI, BILL GOLDSTEIN, OLYMPUS CAPITAL INVESTMENT, LLC, JERRY DOREN, OWEN COLEMAN, BILL ARMSTRONG, TREVOR WILSON, BRIAN MCINERNEY, RICHARD KASSAR, DAVID LEVINE, JIM LAND, DAVID A. PREISER, GARY EVANS AND JONATHAN JACOBS (each a “Stockholder” and collectively, the “Stockholders”),  SOFTFORUM CO., LTD. AND SANG-CHUL KIM (each an “Investor” and collectively, the “Investors”) and GRAUBARD MILLER, as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).
 
Tremisis, the Stockholders and the Investors are parties to an Agreement dated as of March 13, 2009 (the “Put/Call Agreement”) pursuant to which the Stockholders will have the option to sell to the Investors and the Investors will have the option to purchase from the Stockholders 2,650,000 warrants to purchase shares of common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), of Tremisis (the “Warrants”) upon the earlier of (i) Tremisis’ consummation of a Business Combination (defined in the Put/Call Agreement), (ii) Tremisis’ liquidation of its trust account and (iii) December 31, 2009, all upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Put/Call Agreement.  Capitalized terms used herein that are not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Put/Call Agreement.
 
Pursuant to the Put/Call Agreement, (i) the purchase price to be paid by the Investors to the Stockholders in exchange for the Warrants and (ii) the Warrants to be purchased by the Investors, together with duly executed warrant powers, are to be held in escrow subject to the terms of this Agreement.
 
The parties agree as follows:
 
1.           (a)           Concurrently with the execution hereof, (i) the Stockholders are delivering to the Escrow Agent certificates representing the Warrants issued in the name of each Stockholder, together with duly executed warrant powers to enable the transfer of such Stockholders’ Warrants to the extent required pursuant to the terms hereof and (ii) the Investors are delivering to Escrow Agent the Purchase Price (together, the “Escrow Fund”), all of which shall be held in escrow pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
 
(b)           The Escrow Agent hereby agrees to act as escrow agent and to hold, safeguard and disburse the Escrow Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions hereof.  It shall treat the Escrow Fund as a trust fund in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and not as the property of Tremisis. The Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder shall terminate upon its distribution of the Warrants, warrant powers and Purchase Price in the Escrow Fund in accordance with this Agreement.
 

 
(c)           During the Escrow Period, all interest earned on the Purchase Price held in the Escrow Fund shall be delivered to the Escrow Agent to hold as part of the Escrow Fund in accordance with the terms hereof.
 
(d)           During the Escrow Period, no sale, transfer or other disposition may be made of any or all of the Warrants except (i) to a Stockholder’s members or shareholders upon its liquidation, (ii) by bona fide gift to a member of a Stockholder’s immediate family or to a trust, the beneficiary of which is a Stockholder or a member of a Stockholder’s immediate family, (iii) by virtue of the laws of descent and distribution upon death of any Stockholder or (iv) pursuant to a qualified domestic relations order.  In connection with and as a condition to each permitted transfer, the transferee shall deliver to the Escrow Agent an assignment form executed by the transferring Stockholder, or where applicable, an order of a court of competent jurisdiction or death certificate, evidencing the transfer of Warrants to the transferee, together with a warrant power and an agreement to be bound by this Agreement executed by the transferee.  Upon receipt of such documents, the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Tremisis’ warrant agent the original warrant certificate out of which the assigned Warrants are to be transferred, together with the executed assignment forms executed by the transferring Stockholder, or a copy of the applicable court order or death certificate, and shall request that Tremisis’ warrant agent issue new certificates representing (A) the number of Warrants, if any, that continue to be owned by the transferring Stockholder, and (B) the number of Warrants owned by the transferee as the result of such transfer.  Tremisis, the transferring Stockholder and the transferee shall cooperate in all respects with the Escrow Agent in documenting each such transfer and in effectuating the result intended to be accomplished thereby.  After any Warrant is transferred pursuant to this paragraph, such Warrant so transferred will continue to be held by the Escrow Agent in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.  During the Escrow Period, no Owner (defined below) shall pledge or grant a security interest in such Owner’s Warrants included in the Escrow Fund or grant a security interest in such Owner’s rights thereto under this Agreement.  The Stockholders and all transferees are herein referred to collectively as the “Owners.
 
2.           (a)           Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent after the Option Trigger of either (i) notice of exercise of a Call Option from the Investors or (ii) notice of exercise of a Put Option from the Stockholders without any notice from the Investors stating that the Stockholders have breached the representations and warranties contained in Section 4.6 of the Put/Call Agreement (a “Breach Notice”), then within two business days of such receipt, the Escrow Agent shall deliver (x) the Purchase Price, plus the interest earned thereon, to the Stockholders and (y) the Warrants and warrant powers to the Investors.
 
(b)           Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent of a Breach Notice, countersigned by the Stockholders, the Escrow Agent shall deliver (i) the Purchase Price, plus interest earned thereon, to the Investors and (ii) the Warrants and warrant powers to the Stockholders.
 
(c)           Upon receipt by the Escrow Agent after the Option Trigger of either (i) notice of exercise of a Put Option from the Stockholders and a subsequent Breach Notice or (ii) a Breach Notice not countersigned by the Stockholders, then a dispute shall be deemed to exist, which dispute shall be governed by paragraph (d) below.
 
2

 
(d)           If there is a dispute between the Stockholders and Investors in connection with paragraph (c) of this Section 2, the dispute shall be submitted (and either party may submit such dispute) for arbitration before a single arbitrator in New York, New York, in accordance with the commercial arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect.  The Stockholders and Investors shall attempt to agree upon an arbitrator; if they shall be unable to agree upon an arbitrator within 10 days after the dispute is submitted for arbitration, then either the Stockholders or Investors, upon written notice to the other, may apply for appointment of such single arbitrator by the American Arbitration Association in accordance with its rules.  Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of counsel used by it and 50% of the fees and expenses of the arbitrator and of other expenses of the arbitration.  The arbitrator shall render his decision within 90 days after his appointment and may award costs to either the Stockholders or Investors if, in his sole opinion reasonably exercised, the claims made by any other party had no reasonable basis and were arbitrary and capricious. Such decision and award shall be in writing and shall be final and conclusive on the parties, and counterpart copies thereof shall be delivered to each of the parties. Judgment may be obtained on the decision of the arbitrator so rendered in any court having jurisdiction and may be enforced in any such court. If the arbitrator shall fail to render his decision or award within such 90-day period, either the Stockholders or Investors may apply to any New York state court sitting in New York County, New York, or any federal court sitting in such county then having jurisdiction, by action, proceeding or otherwise, as may be proper to determine the matter in dispute consistently with the provisions of this Agreement.  Each of the Stockholders and Investors consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York state courts sitting in New York County or any federal court having jurisdiction and sitting in such county for this purpose. The prevailing party (or either party, in the case of a decision or award rendered in part for each party) shall send a copy of the arbitration decision or of any judgment of the court to the Escrow Agent.
 
3.           The Escrow Agent, Tremisis, the Stockholders and the Investors shall cooperate in all respects with one another in implementing the procedures necessary to effect the release of the Warrants and Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement.
 
4.           (a)           The Escrow Agent undertakes to perform only such duties as are expressly set forth herein.  It is understood that the Escrow Agent is not a trustee or fiduciary and is acting hereunder merely in a ministerial capacity.
 
(b)           The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith and in the exercise of its own best judgment, and may rely conclusively and shall be protected in acting upon any order, notice, demand, certificate, opinion or advice of counsel (including counsel chosen by the Escrow Agent), statement, instrument, report or other paper or document (not only as to its due execution and the validity and effectiveness of its provisions, but also as to the truth and acceptability of any information therein contained) which is believed by the Escrow Agent to be genuine and to be signed or presented by the proper person or persons.  The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by any notice or demand, or any waiver, modification, termination or rescission of this Agreement unless evidenced by a writing delivered to the Escrow Agent signed by the proper party or parties and, if the duties or rights of the Escrow Agent are affected, unless it shall have given its prior written consent thereto.
 
3

 
(c)           The Escrow Agent’s sole responsibility upon receipt of any notice pursuant to the terms of this Agreement is to release the Warrants and Purchase Price that is the subject of such notice and the Escrow Agent shall have no duty to determine the validity, authenticity or enforceability of any specification or certification made in such notice.
 
(d)           The Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any action taken by it in good faith and believed by it to be authorized or within the rights or powers conferred upon it by this Agreement, and may consult with counsel of its own choice and shall have full and complete authorization and indemnification under Section 4(g), below, for any action taken or suffered by it hereunder in good faith and in accordance with the opinion of such counsel.
 
(e)           The Escrow Agent may resign at any time and be discharged from its duties as escrow agent hereunder by its giving the other parties hereto written notice and such resignation shall become effective as hereinafter provided.  Such resignation shall become effective at such time that the Escrow Agent shall turn over the Escrow Fund to a successor escrow agent appointed jointly by the Stockholders and the Investors.  If no new escrow agent is so appointed within the 60-day period following the giving of such notice of resignation, the Escrow Agent may deposit the Escrow Fund with any court it reasonably deems appropriate.
 
(f)           In the event of a dispute between the parties as to the proper disposition of the Escrow Fund, the Escrow Agent shall be entitled (but not required) to deliver the Escrow Fund to any court in the State of New York or the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York and, upon giving notice to Tremisis, the Stockholders and the Investors of such action, shall thereupon be relieved of all further responsibility and liability.
 
(g)           The Escrow Agent shall be indemnified and held harmless jointly and severally by Tremisis, the Stockholders and the Investors from and against any expenses, including counsel fees and disbursements, or loss suffered by the Escrow Agent in connection with any action, suit or other proceeding involving any claim which in any way, directly or indirectly, arises out of or relates to this Agreement, the services of the Escrow Agent hereunder, or the Escrow Fund held by it hereunder, other than expenses or losses arising from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the Escrow Agent.  Promptly after the receipt by the Escrow Agent of notice of any demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding, the Escrow Agent shall notify the other parties hereto in writing.  In the event of the receipt of such notice, the Escrow Agent, in its sole discretion, may commence an action in the nature of interpleader in an appropriate court to determine ownership or disposition of the Escrow Fund in question or it may deposit the Escrow Fund with the clerk of any appropriate court and be relieved of any liability with respect thereto or it may retain the Escrow Fund pending receipt of a final, non-appealable order of a court having jurisdiction over all of the parties hereto directing to whom and under what circumstances the Warrants and Purchase Price in the Escrow Fund are to be disbursed and delivered.
 
4

 
(h)           The Escrow Agent shall be entitled to reimbursement from Tremisis for all reasonable documented expenses paid or incurred by it in the administration of its duties hereunder including, but not limited to, any taxes or other governmental charges.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Escrow Agent shall not be entitled to any fees for its own services rendered under the Escrow Agreement.
 
(i)           From time to time on and after the date hereof, Tremisis, the Stockholders and the Investors shall deliver or cause to be delivered to the Escrow Agent such further documents and instruments and shall do or cause to be done such further acts as the Escrow Agent shall reasonably request to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes of this Agreement, to evidence compliance herewith or to assure itself that it is protected in acting hereunder.
 
(j)           Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Escrow Agent shall not be relieved from liability hereunder for its own gross negligence or its own willful misconduct.
 
5.           This Agreement expressly sets forth all the duties of the Escrow Agent with respect to any and all matters pertinent hereto. No implied duties or obligations shall be read into this Agreement against the Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent shall not be bound by the provisions of any agreement among the parties hereto except this Agreement and shall have no duty to inquire into the terms and conditions of any agreement made or entered into in connection with this Agreement, including, without limitation, the Put/Call Agreement.
 
6.           This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties and their respective heirs, successors, assigns and legal representatives, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of New York applicable to contracts made and to be performed therein.  This Agreement cannot be changed or terminated except by a writing signed by Tremisis, the Stockholders, the Investors and the Escrow Agent.
 
7.           This Agreement shall not create any fiduciary duty on Escrow Agent’s part to any of the Tremisis, the Stockholders or the Investors, nor disqualify Escrow Agent from representing Tremisis or any of its affiliates in any dispute with any Stockholder or Investor, including any dispute with respect to this Agreement.
 
8.           Tremisis, each Stockholder and each Investor hereby consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the New York state courts sitting in New York County and federal courts sitting in such county with respect to any claim or controversy arising out of this Agreement.   Service of process in any action or proceeding brought against any party in respect of any such claim or controversy may be made upon it by registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, at the address specified in Section 9.

Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company
17 Battery Place
New York, NY  10004
Attn: Steven Nelson
 
Re:  Proposed Transfer of Certain Shares of Common Stock of
Tremisis Energy Acquisition Corporation II

Dear Mr. Nelson:

Pursuant to that certain Stock Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) dated December 6, 2007 by and among Tremisis Energy Acquisition Corporation II (the “Company”), Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Escrow Agent”), Lawrence S. Coben, Ronald D. Ormand, Jon Schotz, Charles A. Norris, Stephen N. Casati, Bill Goldstein, Dean Vanech, Jerry Doren, Owen Coleman, Bill Armstrong, Trevor Wilson, Brian McInerney, Richard Kassar, David Levine, Jim Land, David A. Preiser, Gary C. Evans and Jonathan Jacobs (collectively, the “Initial Stockholders”), the Escrow Agent is currently holding in escrow the shares of the Company’s common stock owned by each of the Initial Stockholders in the amounts identified in Schedule A (the “Escrow Shares”).

The Initial Stockholders have executed an agreement (the “Put/Call Agreement”) of even date herewith pursuant to which they have agreed to transfer a portion of each Initial Stockholders’ Escrow Shares in the amounts identified in Schedule A (the “Transfer Shares”) in a private transaction to SoftForum Co., Ltd. and Sang-Chul Kim (the “Investors”), for no cash consideration upon the Company’s consummation of a Business Combination (as such term is defined in the Put/Call Agreement).  The Escrow Shares and the Transfer Shares will remain in escrow with you pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement, but after the consummation of a Business Combination, you will hold the Transfer Shares on behalf of the Investors and not us.  As Escrow Agent, you acknowledge and agree not to enter into any control or other agreement relating to, or deliver possession of, the Transfer Shares to any third party, other than the Investors, that could create or perfect a security interest in the Transfer Shares.

Further, in connection with our agreement to transfer the Transfer Shares to the Investors, we are attaching executed stock powers with respect to the Transfer Shares.  Please hold these stock powers in escrow, together with the Transfer Shares, and upon consummation of a Business Combination, kindly effect the transfer of the Transfer Shares to the Investors. The Investors are agreeing to be bound by the terms and conditions of the Escrow Agreement and will deliver the appropriate stock powers to the Escrow Agent.
 

 
This letter shall serve as irrevocable instructions from the Initial Stockholders to you as the Escrow Agent with respect to the transfer of the Transfer Shares upon consummation of the Business Combination and may not be altered by any of us in the future, except upon termination of the Put/Call Agreement in accordance with its terms

Very truly yours,

Attention: Sang-Chul Kim, Chairman

Dear Sirs:

Pursuant to that certain Registration Rights Agreement (the “RRA”), dated as of December 6, 2007, by and among Tremisis Energy Acquisition Corporation II, a Delaware Corporation (the “Company”), and the respective undersigned parties (each, individually, a “Stockholder”, and collectively, the “Stockholders”), the Company has granted the Stockholders certain registration rights (the “Registration Rights”) with respect to (a) the shares (the “Warrant Shares”) of common stock of the Company underlying warrants (the “Warrants”) purchased by the Stockholders under the terms of certain Warrant Subscription Agreements (the “Agreements”), by and between the Company and each respective Stockholder, and (b) the shares of common stock (the “Insider Shares”, and together with the Warrant Shares, the “Registrable Securities”) purchased by the Stockholders from the Company prior to the Company’s initial public offering.

The Stockholders have executed an agreement (the “Put/Call Agreement”) of even date herewith pursuant to which the parties have granted each other put and call options by which the Stockholders may sell the Warrants and transfer, for no consideration, certain of the Insider Shares to the investors set forth in Schedule A attached hereto (the “Investors”), in the amounts identified in Schedule A upon consummation of a Business Combination (defined in the RRA).  In connection with the potential sale of the Warrants and transfer of certain of the Insider Shares upon consummation of a Business Combination, the Stockholders desire to assign their Registration Rights conditionally with respect to the Warrants and Insider Shares that may be sold and transferred to the Investors in accordance with Section 6.2 of the RRA, and the Company has agreed to consent to such assignment. Accordingly, upon consummation of a Business Combination and subsequent sale of Warrants and transfer of Insider Shares, the Stockholders’ Registration Rights with respect to such securities shall be assigned to the Investors.  The Stockholders shall maintain their Registration Rights with respect to any Insider Shares not transferred to the Investors.  Until the Warrants and Insider Shares are transferred in accordance with the Put/Call Agreement, the Registration Rights will not be assigned by the Stockholders to the Investors.  Upon consummation of a Business Combination and sale of the Warrants and transfer of Insider Shares, the Investors shall become parties to the RRA and the parties thereto hereby consent to amend such RRA at that time such that the Investors shall have all the benefits of the Stockholders with respect to the transferred Warrants and the Registrable Securities under the RRA as if they were original parties thereto.

 
 

 

This letter serves as each Stockholder’s irrevocable assignment of the Registration Rights, and the Company’s consent to such assignment.

4.           Neither the undersigned nor any affiliate (“Affiliate”) of the undersigned will be entitled to receive and will not accept any compensation for services rendered to the Company prior to or in connection with the consummation of the Business Combination; provided that the undersigned shall be entitled to reimbursement from the Company for its out-of-pocket expenses incurred in connection with seeking and consummating a Business Combination.

9.           In the event that the Company does not consummate a Business Combination and must liquidate, and its remaining net assets are insufficient to complete such liquidation, the undersigned agrees to advance such funds necessary to complete such liquidation and agrees not to seek repayment for such expenses.

10.           This letter agreement may not be amended or modified without the prior consent of Ronald D. Ormand, as representative of the Sellers. This letter agreement shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to conflicts of law principles that would result in the application of the substantive laws of another jurisdiction.

Ormand, the Company’s President, Chief Financial Officer and Director, resigned from his position as President and was appointed as Co-Chief Executive Officer of the Company and will serve in such capacity, as well as in his existing capacity as Chief Financial Officer and Director, until the Company files its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2008 at which time he will resign from all of his positions except as a member of the Board of Directors and (iii) Mr. Kim was appointed as Chairman of the Board and Co-Chief Executive Officer and each of Seung Jung Ro, Jhong Won Kim and David Jin Yoo was appointed as a member of the Board of Directors.  Mr. Kim is the CEO and chairman of Dawin Technology Inc. and chairman of SoftForum Co., Ltd. and SF Investment Co., Ltd.

We look forward to working together with the existing Tremisis team to deliver a compelling, value-added investment opportunity for all of our stockholders.”
