If the selling member does not exercise its drag along rights in connection with a sale to a third-party, each of the non-selling members of the Stockholders’ Group, after receipt of a sale notice from the selling member, will have a right to have all of its Shares sold on the same terms and conditions offered to the selling member to the third-party.

SECTION 0. ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

( ) Election of Directors.

( ) At any time at which Stockholders will have the right to or will vote for or consent to the election of directors of the Company, the Stockholders hereby agree to vote all Shares then owned or hereafter acquired by them in favor of the election to and maintaining a board of directors (the “Board of Directors”) consisting of at least four (4) individuals (each a “Director”) designated in the following manner:

( ) two (2) Directors shall be designated by the Phoenix Stockholders (the “Phoenix Directors”), which Phoenix Directors are currently Philip S. Sassower and Andrea Goren, such designation to be made by the provision of notice by the Phoenix Stockholders to the Steiner Stockholders of the Director nominees designated by the Phoenix Stockholders as the Phoenix Directors;

( ) two (2) Directors shall be designated by the Steiner Stockholders (the “Steiner Directors”), which Steiner Directors are currently Jeffrey Steiner and Eric Steiner, such designation to be made by the provision of notice by the Steiner Stockholders to the Phoenix Stockholders of the Director nominees designated by the Steiner Stockholders as the Steiner Directors.

( ) The foregoing Directors shall be elected at any annual or special meeting of stockholders (or by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders) and shall serve until their successors are elected and qualified or until their earlier resignation or removal. No Stockholder shall vote to remove any Director designated pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section during his or her term of office, with or without cause, unless the Stockholder that designated such Director affirmatively so votes or provides written consent to such other Stockholder to vote to remove such Director. If the Phoenix Stockholder or the Steiner Stockholder, as the case may be, gives notice to the other that it desires to remove a Director designated by it pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, such other Stockholder agrees to vote all of its Common Stock then owned or hereafter acquired in favor of removing such Director if a vote of holders of Common Stock is required to remove such Director.

( ) Any time at which Stockholders will have the right to or will vote for or consent to the election of a Director to fill a vacancy in the office of a Director designated pursuant to subsection (a) of this Section, each Stockholder agrees to vote all of its Shares then owned or hereafter acquired by it in accordance with the direction of the Stockholder that had designated pursuant to subsection (a)(i) the Director in whose office the vacancy exists.

( ) The Phoenix Directors and the Steiner Directors shall be entitled to such compensation as Directors, including reimbursement for expenses incurred in attending the meetings of the Board of Directors, as is determined by the Board of Directors from time to time.

( ) The Phoenix Stockholder and the Steiner Stockholder shall request that the Board of Directors grant observer rights to two individuals to be designated from time to time by the Phoenix Stockholder and two individuals to be designated from time to time by the Steiner Stockholder. To the extent that the Board of Directors grants such observer rights, each of the Phoenix Stockholder and Steiner Stockholder agrees that it shall not oppose or seek the removal of any observer designated by the other or seek the reduction of the other’s observer rights. To the extent that the Board of Directors grants such observer rights to one of the Phoenix Stockholder or the Steiner Stockholder but not the other, the Stockholder receiving such grant shall nominate as an observer one designee of the other Stockholder until such time as the other Stockholder has been granted equal observer rights.

( ) Other Matters Subject to Stockholder Vote. The Stockholders further agree that with respect to any other proposal on which stockholders have the right to or will vote on or consent to, including the election of each Director (other than the Phoenix Directors and the Steiner Directors, which is subject to subsection (a) of this Section 3), the Stockholders (through their respective Representatives) will meet and confer (which may be in person, by phone, or in writing) for a reasonable amount of time prior to the date of the stockholder vote or consent on such proposal, in an effort to agree on how their respective Shares would be voted (whether for, against or withheld), or if such Shares would consent with respect to such proposal. Each Stockholder shall be notified by its respective Representative as to whether an agreement was reached and, if an agreement was reached, how the Shares were agreed to be voted or if consent would be given. The Phoenix Representative and the Steiner Representative shall, pursuant to the proxy granted under Section 3(c), vote the Shares of the Phoenix Stockholder and the Steiner Stockholder, respectively, or consent with respect to such Shares in accordance with such agreement. With respect to each proposal as to which no agreement was reached, each of the Phoenix Representative and the Steiner Representative agrees not to vote or consent with respect to, respectively, any of the Phoenix Stockholder’s or the Steiner Stockholder’s Shares (and each Stockholder agrees that it shall not vote or consent with respect to any of its Shares).

( ) Proxy.

( ) Each Stockholder that is a Phoenix Stockholder, by this Agreement, hereby constitutes and appoints Philip S. Sassower and Andrea Goren, as their representative (the “Phoenix Representative”) with full power of substitution, during and for the Proxy Term, as the Phoenix Stockholder’s true and lawful attorney and grants each Phoenix Representative an irrevocable proxy coupled with power, for and in the Phoenix Stockholder’s name, place and stead, to vote each Share owned by such Stockholder as such Stockholder’s proxy, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company or any adjournment thereof or in connection with any written consent of the Company’s stockholders. Such Stockholder intends the foregoing proxy to be, and it shall be, irrevocable and coupled with an interest during the Proxy Term and hereby revokes any proxies previously granted by the Stockholder with respect to the Shares.

( ) Each Stockholder that is a Steiner Stockholder, by this Agreement, hereby constitutes and appoints Benjamin Steiner and Eric Steiner, as its representative (the “Steiner Representative” and, together with the Phoenix Reprsentative, the “Representatives” or each individually a “Representative”) with full power of substitution, during and for the Proxy Term, as the Stockholder’s true and lawful attorney and hereby grants each Steiner Representative an irrevocable proxy coupled with power, for and in the Steiner Stockholder’s name, place and stead, to vote each Share owned by such Stockholder as such Stockholder’s proxy, at every meeting of the stockholders of the Company or any adjournment thereof or in connection with any written consent of the Company’s stockholders. Such Stockholder intends the foregoing proxy to be, and it shall be, irrevocable and coupled with an interest during the Proxy Term and hereby revokes any proxies previously granted by the Stockholder with respect to the Shares.

( ) All of the Stockholders agree to vote their Shares in accordance with this Section 3. If any Stockholder or its Representative fails or refuses to vote the Shares as required by this Section 3, then the Steiner Representative (in the case of a Phoenix Stockholder or Phoenix Representative failure or refusal) or the Phoenix Representative (in the case of a Steiner Stockholder or Steiner Representative failure or refusal) shall have an irrevocable proxy of indefinite duration pursuant to the provisions of Section 212 of the Delaware General Corporation Law, coupled with an interest, to so vote those Shares in accordance with this Section 3, and each Phoenix Stockholder and Steiner Stockholder hereby grants to the others’ Representative such irrevocable proxy.

( ) The Stockholders agree not to enter into any agreement or understanding with any person or entity or take any action during the Proxy Term which will permit any person or entity to vote or give instructions to vote the Common Stock in any manner inconsistent with the terms of this Section 3. The Stockholders further agree to take such further action and execute and deliver, and cause others to execute and deliver such other instruments as may be necessary to effectuate the intent of this Agreement, including without limitation, proxies and other documents permitting, as applicable, the Phoenix Representative or the Steiner Representative, to vote the Common Stock or to direct the record owners thereof to vote the Common Stock in accordance with this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Stockholder will use commercially reasonable efforts to, and will instruct the record owner of the Common Stock to, deliver to, as applicable, the Phoenix Representative or the Steiner Representative, a duly executed Irrevocable Proxy in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A not later than 5 business days after the date hereof.

SECTION 4. TRANSFER RESTRICTIONS; RIGHTS OF FIRST OFFER

( ) Limitations. Each Stockholder hereby agrees that such Stockholder shall not at any time during the Lock-Up Period Transfer any Shares except by Transfer to a Permitted Transferee in accordance with Section 4(c).

( ) Procedures on Sale of Shares. Except as permitted under Section 4(c), each Stockholder agrees that such Stockholder, and any Transferring Group of which such Stockholder is a member (A) shall not Transfer any Shares on or before the end of the Lock-Up Period, and (B) thereafter during the term of this Agreement, shall not Transfer any Shares except in accordance with the following procedures:

( ) Right of First Offer. The Phoenix Stockholder or the Steiner Stockholder, as applicable (the “Selling Stockholder”) may offer all but not less than all of its Shares (the “Offered Shares”) in the Company to the other Stockholders (the “Non-Selling Stockholders”), at a price, and on the terms and conditions, specified in the notice (the “Offer Notice”) to the Non-Selling Stockholders at any time (but not more than once in any 12-month period) following the Lock-Up Period. Each Non-Selling Stockholder may (directly or acting through its Representative), within 45 days of receipt of the Offer Notice, notify (such notice, the “Exercise Notice”) the Selling Stockholder’s Representative whether it wishes to purchase all (but not less than all) of the Selling Stockholder’s Offered Shares. In the event that more than one Non-Selling Stockholder shall send an Exercise Notice (each an “Exercising Non-Selling Stockholder”), each Exercising Non-Selling Stockholder shall purchase its Pro Rata Share of such Offered Shares, where “Pro Rata Share” shall mean that number of Shares determined by multiplying the total number of Offered Shares by a fraction (A) the numerator of which is the aggregate number of Shares then held by such Exercising Non-Selling Stockholder on an As-Converted, Fully-Diluted Basis and (B) the denominator of which is the total number of Shares then held by all Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders on an As-Converted, Fully-Diluted Basis. By sending an Exercise Notice to the Selling Stockholder, the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholder commits itself to acquire the Offered Shares on the terms and conditions set forth on the Offer Notice and such Exercising Non-Selling Stockholder’s Shares shall be used as collateral to secure such Exercising Non-Selling Stockholder’s obligation to acquire the Offered Shares within the Purchase Period (as defined below).

( ) Closing. The closing of any sale of Offered Shares under the terms of Section 4(b)(i) shall take place within 120 days after the expiration of the 45-day period set forth in Section 4(b)(i) (the “Purchase Period”) at the office of the Phoenix Stockholder’s counsel on a mutually satisfactory business day or at such other location or on such other date as shall be mutually satisfactory to the Selling Stockholder and all Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders, in their sole discretion). The Purchase Period may be extended by up to a total of 60 days by the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders upon notice to the Selling Stockholder if the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders, despite diligent efforts, are unable to complete the acquisition of all of the Offered Shares within the original 120-day period; provided that the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders set forth in such notice the grounds for such delay and provide evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Selling Stockholder that the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders are pursuing the closing diligently and in good faith. Delivery of certificates or other instruments evidencing such Offered Shares duly endorsed for transfer, and free and clear of all liens, claims and encumbrances (“Liens”), to the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders shall be made on the closing date against payment of the purchase price therefor in immediately available funds or by certified or bank check. If the sale of the Offered Shares is not consummated within the Purchase Period, including any extension permitted hereunder by reason of a failure of any Exercising Non-Selling Stockholder, the Selling Stockholder shall be entitled to specific performance or damages, as applicable, from the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders on a joint and several basis.

( ) If the Non-Selling Stockholders do not deliver an Exercise Notice or do not agree to purchase all of the Selling Stockholders’ Shares, or if the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders do not consummate the purchase of the Offered Shares within the Purchase Period (including any extension thereof pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)) other than by reason of a failure of the Selling Stockholder to consummate such sale, the Selling Stockholder may offer and sell all (but not less than all) of its Shares in the Company and, pursuant to Section 5, all of the Shares in the Company held by the Non-Selling Stockholders (including the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders), to one or more third parties (each a “Proposed Transferee”) within the 180 day period (the “Third Party Purchase Period”) after (A) the expiration of the 45-day period set forth in Section 4(b)(i) if no Non-Selling Stockholder sends an effective Exercise Notice within such 45-day period or (B) if an effective Exercise Notice is sent during such 45-day period, the expiration of the Purchase Period (including any extension thereof pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii)) unless the sale of the Offered Shares to the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders is consummated within such Purchase Period, at a price not less than and on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Selling Stockholder than those specified in the Offer Notice; provided that, if a Proposed Transferee is a Competitor, the Selling Stockholder shall exercise the same care in connection with such offer and sale to such Proposed Transferee as an ordinarily prudent person in the operation of his own business, as if such Selling Stockholder were the Company and provided further that the Selling Stockholder has provided a Sale Notice to each Non-Selling Stockholder containing the same information as specified in Section 5 (except stating whether or not the Selling Stockholder has elected to exercise its rights under Section 5) not less than 60 days prior to the expiration of the Third Party Purchase Period. In the event that the Offered Shares are not sold by the Selling Stockholder during the Third Party Purchase Period, the right of the Selling Stockholder to sell the Offered Shares under this Section 4 shall expire and the obligations of Sections 4(b)(i)-(iii) shall be reinstated; provided that, in accordance with Section 4(b)(i), no Selling Stockholder shall be entitled to initiate an offer pursuant to Section 4(b)(i) more than once in any 12-month period.

( ) To the extent the Selling Stockholder does not exercise its “drag along” rights under Section 5, then, upon the request of the Non-Selling Stockholders’ Representative, the Selling Stockholder shall require any purchaser or other transferee of its Shares pursuant to this Section 4(b) who is not a Stockholder to agree in writing in advance of the Transfer to become a party to and be bound by and comply with all applicable provisions of this Agreement as (A) a Stockholder and (B) a Phoenix Stockholder (if a purchaser from or transferee of any Phoenix Stockholder) or a Steiner Stockholder (if a purchaser from or transferee of any Steiner Stockholder).

( ) Permitted Transferees. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, any Stockholder may Transfer at any time and from time to time, all or part of such Stockholder’s Shares to: (i) his or her ancestors, descendants, siblings or spouse, any executor or administrator of his/her estate, or to a custodian, trustee (including a trustee of a voting trust), executor or other fiduciary primarily for the account of such Stockholder or his/her ancestors, descendants, siblings or spouse, (ii) any executor or other fiduciary primarily for the account of a non-profit organization or directly to a non-profit organization, (iii) to the extent that such Stockholder is a corporation, limited liability company or other entity, to the members or shareholders of, or other investors or Persons holding capital in, such Stockholder, (iv) to any Person in connection with any consolidation or reorganization of such Stockholder directly or indirectly with or into one or more other investment vehicles, (v) to the Company, if effected pursuant to any redemption right, including without limitation with respect to a redemption at the request of such Stockholder pursuant to any agreement regarding the repurchase of Shares by the Company or its assignees from an employee or consultant upon the termination of his or her employment or consulting relationship with the Company, (vi) to any Person in connection with any Approved Sale, or (vii) to any Affiliate of such Stockholder (each of the Persons referenced in the foregoing subsections (i) and (vii) being a “Permitted Transferee”); provided that if a Permitted Transferee is a Competitor, the Stockholder making the Transfer must exercise the same care in connection therewith as an ordinarily prudent person in the operation of his own business, as if such Stockholder were the Company. Any Transfer otherwise permitted by this Agreement shall be further subject to and conditioned upon full compliance by the transferring Stockholder and the Permitted Transferee with each of the following conditions: (i) each Permitted Transferee (who may be located within or without the United States) or his, her or its legal representative shall have executed documents in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the non-transferring Stockholders (which may include a joinder to this Agreement), assuming the obligations of the transferring Stockholder under this Agreement with respect to the transferred Shares; (ii) the transferring Stockholder and the Permitted Transferee shall execute such other documents as the non-transferring Stockholders may reasonably request (or as may be required by law) in order to demonstrate compliance of any such Transfer with the provisions of this Agreement and applicable law; (iii) at the request of the non-transferring Stockholders, the non-transferring Stockholders receive an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the non-transferring Stockholders (who may be counsel for any Stockholder), in form and substance satisfactory to the non-transferring Stockholders, that such Transfer does not violate any securities or other applicable laws; (iv) the Permitted Transferee shall pay all filing and recording fees, if any, and all reasonable expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable counsel fees and expenses incurred by the non-transferring Stockholders in connection with the Transfer; (v) the Permitted Transferee shall acquire the transferred Shares for its own account for investment and not with a view to the resale or distribution thereof and, by its acceptance of the Shares and the assumption of the obligations of the transferring Stockholder hereunder, the Permitted Transferee shall be deemed to so represent and warrant, and the Permitted Transferee will only Transfer the acquired transferred Shares to a Person who so similarly represents and warrants; and (vi) the transferring Stockholder shall obtain from the Permitted Transferee such other representations and warranties as the non-transferring Stockholders may require.

( ) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no Transfer of any Shares or portion thereof by a Stockholder shall be made (i) to a Person who, in accordance with applicable law, lacks the legal capacity to own, or otherwise is prohibited from owning, any such Shares in the Company by reason of minority, incompetence or otherwise; (ii) to a Person otherwise prohibited by applicable law from entering into such transaction or holding such Shares; or (iii) which violates any other provision of this Agreement, and any such Transfer shall be void ab initio.

SECTION 5. DRAG-ALONG RIGHTS

( ) Approved Sale. If at any time after the Lock-Up Period, (i) the Selling Stockholder proposes to sell to a third party who is not an Affiliate of the Company or any Stockholder all of the Shares held by the Stockholders (an “Approved Sale”), and (ii) the Selling Stockholder has complied with the provisions of Section 4 and the Non-Selling Stockholders have not elected to purchase 100% of such Selling Stockholder’s Offered Shares pursuant to Section 4(b), the Selling Stockholder may, in its sole discretion, notify (the “Sale Notice”) the Non-Selling Stockholders, in writing, of the price and the other terms and conditions (including the identity of the proposed purchaser) of such Approved Sale, which such price and other terms and conditions shall be no less favorable to the Stockholders than the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer Notice, and stating that such Selling Holder elects to exercise its rights under this Section 5. Each Non-Selling Stockholder will take all necessary and desirable actions in connection with the consummation of such Approved Sale, and, within 20 business days of the receipt of such Sale Notice (or such longer period of time as the Selling Stockholder shall designate in such Sale Notice), the Non-Selling Stockholders shall cause all of their Shares to be sold to the purchaser identified in the Sale Notice on the same terms and conditions and for the same per share consideration as the Shares being sold by the Selling Stockholder (with appropriate adjustments for differences in conversion rates, liquidation preferences and other rights as may be applicable)

( ) Cooperation and Consent. In furtherance of, and not in limitation of the foregoing, in connection with any such Approved Sale, and provided that the terms and conditions of the Approved Sale applicable to the Non-Selling Stockholders are the same as for the Selling Stockholder (with appropriate adjustments for differences in conversion rates, liquidation preferences and other rights as may be applicable), each Non-Selling Stockholder will (i) consent to and raise no objections against such Approved Sale or the process pursuant to which it was arranged, (ii) waive any dissenters’ rights and other similar rights, (iii) execute and deliver all instruments and documents as reasonably directed by the Selling Stockholder and (iv) otherwise take all necessary action, including, without limitation, entering into any agreement reflecting the terms of such Approved Sale, surrendering stock certificates, giving any customary and reasonable representations and warranties given by the Selling Stockholder and executing and delivering any certificates or other documents, reasonably requested by the Selling Stockholder and its counsel, to cause the Stockholders to consummate such Approved Sale; provided, however, that no Stockholder shall be obligated in connection with such Approved Sale to indemnify the prospective transferee in an amount in excess of the net proceeds paid to such Stockholder in connection with such Approved Sale (other than as a result of a breach of the representation with respect to its ownership of, and authority to transfer, such Shares free and clear of all Liens, as to which no such limitation will apply). All Stockholders will bear their pro rata share (based on their respective stock ownership in the Company and determined as of the closing of any Approved Sale) of the costs and expenses incurred in connection with any Approved Sale. Costs incurred by any Stockholder on its own behalf will not be shared by other Stockholders.

( ) Rescission. Any such notice of Approved Sale may be rescinded by the Selling Stockholder by delivering written notice thereof to all of the Non-Selling Stockholders.

SECTION 0. RIGHT OF PARTICIPATION IN SALES

(a) Co-Sale Right. . If (i) any Offered Shares are not purchased pursuant to Sections 4(b)(i)-(ii) above and thereafter are to be sold by the Selling Stockholder to a Proposed Transferee (the “Proposed Transfer”) pursuant to Section 4(b)(iii) and (ii) the Selling Stockholder does not exercise its “drag along” rights under Section 5, then the Selling Stockholder shall provide a Sale Notice to each Non-Selling Stockholder containing the same information as specified in Section 5 (except stating that the Selling Stockholder has elected not to exercise its rights under Section 5), at least 45 days prior to the consummation of the Proposed Transfer. Each Non-Selling Stockholder shall have the right, as a condition to such Proposed Transfer, to participate in such Proposed Transfer and Transfer to the Proposed Transferee all, but not less than all, of such Non-Selling Stockholder’s Shares as part of the Proposed Transfer, at the same purchase price and on the same terms and conditions specified in the applicable Sale Notice.

(b) Notice of Intent to Participate. If a Non-Selling Stockholder wishes to so participate in any Transfer under this Section 6, it shall notify the Selling Stockholder (through its Representative) and the other Non-Selling Stockholders (through their Representative) in writing of such intention as soon as practicable, but in any event no later than 15 days, after such Non-Selling Stockholder’s receipt of the Sale Notice pursuant to Section 6(a). Upon giving such notice such Non-Selling Stockholder shall be deemed to have effectively exercised the right to participate in such Proposed Transfer.

(c) Transfer to Proposed Transferee. The Selling Stockholder and each participating Non-Selling Stockholder shall Transfer to the Proposed Transferee the Shares proposed to be Transferred to the Proposed Transferee, at not less than the price and upon other terms and conditions, if any, not more favorable to the Proposed Transferee than those in the Sale Notice provided under Section 6(a); provided, however, that any Transfer of less than all of such Shares to the Proposed Transferee shall be made from the Selling Stockholder and each participating Stockholder pro rata based upon the relative number of the Shares that the Selling Stockholder and each participating Stockholder are otherwise entitled to sell pursuant to Section 6(a).

(d) Lapse of Restrictions. Shares Transferred to any Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 6 shall not be subject to the restrictions imposed by this Agreement unless a Non-Selling Stockholder that does not elect to participate in the Proposed Transfer requests that such Shares remain subject to this Agreement, in which case the Selling Stockholder and the transferring Non-Selling Stockholders shall require that any Shares Transferred to any Proposed Transferee pursuant to this Section 6 shall remain subject to the restrictions imposed by this Agreement.

SECTION 0. STEINER STOCKHOLDER OPTION ON SHARES OWNED BY PHOENIX STOCKHOLDER

(a) The Phoenix Stockholder hereby grants to the Steiner Stockholder an option (the “Option”) to purchase from the Phoenix Stockholder, on the terms hereof, a number of shares of Class A Common Stock equal to up to 20% of the shares of Series A Common Stock owned by the Phoenix Stockholder on the date hereof, as set forth in Schedule I hereto, plus up to 20% of any Shares hereafter acquired by the Phoenix Stockholder (collectively, the “Option Shares”), on a relevant Exercise Date during the period (the “Exercise Period”) from the date hereof until September 5, 2009.

(b) The Option is exercisable only by the Steiner Representative on behalf of the Steiner Stockholder, and may be exercised by the Steiner Representative, in whole or in part, at any time, or from time to time (the date of any such exercise being referred to as an “Exercise Date”), during the Exercise Period. The Option may be repeatedly exercised by the Steiner Representative on behalf of the Steiner Stockholder, and there shall be no limit on the number of times the Option may be exercised; provided, however, that (a) the Option cannot be exercised for more than, in the aggregate, the total number of Option Shares and (b) each exercise of the Option for fewer than the number of Option Shares then remaining available under the Option shall be for at least 10,000 Shares.

(c) In order to exercise the Option, the Steiner Representative shall give written notice to the Company of such exercise, specifying the number of Option Shares to be purchased, the Stockholders to whom the Option Shares are to be delivered and the number of Option Shares to be delivered to each such Stockholder, and the place, time and date of the closing of such purchase (the “Exercise Closing”), which date shall not be less than two business days nor more than ten business days from the date on which such notice is delivered (or such later date as necessary in order to obtain any governmental clearance or the termination of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act.

(d) At such exercise Closing, the Phoenix Stockholder shall deliver all of the Option Shares to be purchased by delivery of a certificate or certificates evidencing such Option Shares in the denominations and to the Stockholders designated by the Phoenix Representative in the notice required under subsection (c) of this Section 7.

(e) The purchase price for any Option Shares purchased pursuant to an exercise of the Option shall be equal to (i) the price paid by the Phoenix Stockholder for such Option Shares, plus (ii) an amount determined by the Phoenix Stockholder, which amount shall be equal to the total costs and expenses, including legal fees, incurred by the Phoenix Stockholder in connection with the acquisition of such Option Shares (including, as applicable, the costs and expenses related to the tender offer by the Phoenix Stockholder for shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company that expired on December 18, 2007, pursuant to which the Phoenix Stockholder purchased 4,701,080 shares of Class A Common Stock of the Company), plus (iii) interest on the amount equal to the sum of (i) and (ii) at the prime rate from and including the date the Phoenix Stockholder acquired such Option Shares, to and excluding the date of the applicable Exercise Closing. The Phoenix Stockholder shall, at each Exercise Closing, deliver the applicable Option Shares against payment of the purchase price therefore in immediately available funds or by certified or bank check.

(f) The Steiner Stockholder’s obligation to purchase, and the Phoenix Stockholder’s obligation to sell, any Option Shares upon the exercise of the Option is subject to the satisfaction or waiver as of the applicable Exercise Closing of the following conditions:

(i) The Phoenix Stockholder and the Steiner Stockholder shall have obtained or made all consents, approvals, orders, licenses, permits and authorizations of, and registrations, declarations and filings with, any governmental authority or any other Person required to be obtained or made by or with respect to it in connection with such purchase or sale, as applicable (including the expiration of any applicable waiting period under the HSR Act).

(ii) No injunction, decree or order of any governmental authority shall be in effect as of the applicable Exercise Closing, and no lawsuit, claim, proceeding or investigation shall be pending or threatened by any governmental authority as of such Exercise Closing, which would restrain or prohibit the Transfer of the applicable Option Shares pursuant to the exercise of the Option.

(iii) The Transfer of the applicable Option Shares shall not violate, or cause the violation of, any applicable law or regulations.

The failure to satisfy (or waive) any of the foregoing conditions as of any Exercise Closing and the resulting cancellation of the purchase and sale of the Option Shares proposed to be sold by the Phoenix Stockholder on such date shall not prohibit the Steiner Representative, on behalf of the Steiner Stockholder, from again exercising the Option.

SECTION 8. LEGEND

To the extent possible, the Stockholder shall cause each certificate or other document representing their Shares to bear a legend in substantially the following form until such time as such Shares are no longer subject to the provisions hereof:

THE TRANSFER OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE IS SUBJECT TO THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF A STOCKHOLDERS’ AGREEMENT DATED AS OF SEPTEMBER 5, 2008, AMONG CERTAIN HOLDERS OF THE OUTSTANDING CAPITAL STOCK OF THE FAIRCHILD CORPORATION, AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR TRANSFERRED EXCEPT IN ACCORDANCE THEREWITH.

SECTION 9. SEVERABILITY. In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, by any court of law, the remaining provisions shall be severable and enforceable to the maximum extent possible in accordance with their terms.

SECTION 10. EXPENSES. The parties shall share equally and shall be equally responsible for the payment of all costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, whether incurred by the Phoenix Stockholder or the Steiner Stockholder (but excluding expenses paid by third parties), in connection with the preparation of this Agreement. All costs and expenses, including legal fees and expenses, of any proposed Transfer of Shares hereunder shall be born by each Stockholder that proposes to Transfer any or all of its Shares in such transaction (including any proposed Transfer pursuant to the exercise of any “drag along,” “tag-along” or other rights by such Stockholder or any other Stockholder, and whether or not such Transfer is actually consummated) pro rata, in the same proportion as the number of Shares proposed to be Transferred by such Stockholder in such transaction bears

to the total number of Shares proposed to be Transferred in such transaction by all Stockholders; provided that (a) the Selling Stockholder shall be liable for all such costs and expenses related to the failure to consummate any proposed sale of Offered Shares pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) that is not consummated for any reason, other than by reason of a failure of the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders, and (b) the Exercising Non-Selling Stockholders shall be jointly and severally liable for all such costs and expenses related to the failure to consummate any sale of Offered Shares pursuant to Section 4(b)(ii) by reason of a failure of any Exercising Non-Selling Stockholder to consummate such sale.

SECTION 11. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction and venue of any court within the State of New York, in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, and agrees that process may be served upon them in any manner authorized by the laws of the State of New York for such persons.

SECTION 12. BENEFITS OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns/legal representatives and heirs.

( ) Upon the request of any other Stockholder that remains a party hereto, shall cause any Person which acquires any Shares from such Stockholder to become a party hereunder.

SECTION 14. FAILURE TO COMPLY; INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. Any Transfer not made in compliance with the requirements of this Agreement shall be null and void ab initio. It is acknowledged that it will be impossible to measure the damages that would be suffered by the Stockholders if a party hereto fails to comply with the provisions of this Agreement and that in the event of any such failure, the Stockholders will not have an adequate remedy at law. The Stockholders shall, therefore, be entitled, without the necessity of posting a bond, to obtain specific performance of such defaulting party’s obligations hereunder and to obtain immediate injunctive or other equitable relief, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity. Such defaulting party shall not argue, as a defense to any proceeding for such specific performance or injunctive relief, that the Stockholders have an adequate remedy at law.

SECTION 15. NOTICES. All notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be delivered either by hand, by messenger or by recognized overnight courier (with signature required), or sent via facsimile, computer mail or other electronic means from which a record may be created, addressed to the applicable Stockholder at its address set forth in Schedule I hereto, or such other address as such Stockholder may specify by notice to each other Stockholder. All notices and other communications given or made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed effectively given when actually received or when receipt is refused, it being understood by the parties that a confirmation of receipt for the addressee provided by a recognized overnight courier service shall constitute actual receipt by such addressee for purposes of such notice.

SECTION 16. MODIFICATION. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any provision hereof may be modified, changed, discharged or terminated except by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom the enforcement of any modification, change, discharge or termination is sought.

SECTION 17. CAPTIONS. The captions herein are inserted for convenience only and shall not define, limit, extend or describe the scope of this Agreement or affect the construction hereof.

SECTION 18. NOUNS AND PRONOUNS. Whenever the context may require, any pronouns used herein shall include the corresponding masculine, feminine or neuter forms, and the singular form of names and pronouns shall include the plural and vice-versa.

SECTION 19. MERGER PROVISION. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings of the parties in connection therewith.

SECTION 20. COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart by fax shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart.

SECTION 21. NO PRIOR AGREEMENTS. No prior agreements, whether oral or written relating to any of the subject matter herein exists between or among any of the parties hereto.

SECTION 22. ADJUSTMENTS FOR STOCK SPLITS, ETC. Wherever in this Agreement there is a reference to a specific number of shares of Common Stock or other capital stock of the Company of any class or series, then, upon the occurrence of any subdivision, combination or stock dividend of such class or series of stock, the specific number of shares so referenced in this Agreement shall automatically be proportionally adjusted to reflect the effect on the outstanding shares of such class of stock by such subdivision, combination or stock dividend.

SECTION 23. RULES OF USAGE. In this Agreement, unless a clear intention appears otherwise: (a) the singular number includes the plural number and vice versa; (b) reference to any Person includes such Person’s successors and assigns but, if applicable, only if such successors and assigns are not prohibited by this Agreement, and reference to a Person in a particular capacity excludes such Person in any other capacity or individually; (c) reference to any agreement, document or instrument means such agreement, document or instrument as amended or modified and in effect from time to time in accordance with the terms thereof; (d) reference to any law means such law as amended, modified, codified, replaced or reenacted, in whole or in part, and in effect from time to time, including rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; (e) “hereunder,” “hereof,” “hereto,” and words of similar import shall be
