LITIGATION

1. Lennox Industries, Inc. vs. Industrial Services of America, Inc. (Circuit Court of Arkansas County CV-2007-004)

On January 4, 2007, Lennox Industries, Inc., a commercial heating and air-conditioning manufacturer, filed suit against ISA in the Arkansas County, Arkansas Circuit Court in the case styled Lennox Industries, Inc. v. Industrial Services of America, Inc., Case No. CV-2007-004. Because of settlement negotiations, Lennox did not serve ISA until May 23,2007. Lennox alleges that ISA breached a 2001 contract with Lennox where ISA agreed to act as agent for Lennox, by ISA's failure to properly evaluate, categorize, classify and value the production scrap and waste of Lennox, thereby brokering such products at prices below market value. Lennox also alleges negligence and breach of fiduciary duty related to the same alleged failure.

Lennox is taking the position that ISA had a duty to obtain a price that was consistent with the materials being sold on their behalf and that it failed to show a proper duty of care in its dealings with Lennox. On July 9, 2008, Lennox amended its Complaint to add a cause of action based on fraud and misrepresentation (civil fraud). The Lennox complaint does not state any specific monetary damages. ISA has filed an answer denying all claims.

The litigation is in its discovery phase with a trial date currently set for August 2009. ISA currently believe that the claims have no merit.

2. Xxxxxxx Xxxxx vs. Industrial Services of America, Inc. (Index #08C1012646,

Policy #000-00-00 and Claim #861-008778).

Xxxxxxx Xxxxx is a former employee of ISA. On or about December 1,2008 filed an action in Jefferson County Court. She is claiming she was subjected to discrimination on the basis of sex and age, subjected to a hostile work environment, and harassed.

The Complaint was answered by Xxxxxx Xxxx on behalf of ISA on December 19, 2008. ISA believes Xx. Xxxx'x case is without merit.

ISA maintains an Employment Practices Liability ("EPL") insurance policy with AIG. Upon receipt of the lawsuit, ISA notified AIG. AIG has agreed to cover the case under a customary reservation of rights (aka an "ROR'). AIG has requested that ISA use one of its "panel counsel" for actions that occur in Kentucky. ISA has chosen Xxxxx Xxxxx from the firm of Xxxxx Xxxxx.

A deposition of Xxxxxxx Xxxxx took place on January 28th, 2009. Subsequent to that date, Xx. Xxxx'x counsel submitted discovery requests (interrogatories and document production requests) to ISA. ISA is working on those discovery requests and are engaged in mediation discussions with Xx. Xxxxx and her counsel.
