“5. Consideration. In consideration of the amendment set forth in Sections 2, 3 and 4 above, the Company hereby agrees that from the Effective Date until September 30, 2011 it will not effect any of the Reverse Stock Splits without the approval of (i) the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the combined principal amount of the B Notes outstanding as of the Effective Date, (ii) the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the combined principal amount of the C Notes outstanding as of the Effective Date, (iii) the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the combined principal amount of the D Notes outstanding as of the Effective Date, (iv) the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the combined principal amount of the E Notes outstanding as of the Effective Date, (v) the holders of at least two-thirds of the principal amount of the outstanding September 2009 Notes as of the Effective Date, and (vi) the holders of at least two-thirds of the principal amount of the outstanding April 2009 Notes as of the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the date the reverse stock split approved by the Holders on December 14, 2010 is effected, the Company may effect any other Reserve Stock Split that the Board of Directors deems to be in the best interest of the Company and its stockholders to avoid imminent Event of Default under Section 2.1(g) of any outstanding Notes at such time prior to such date.”
7. Specific Performance; Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue.
(a) The Company and the Holders acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof without the requirement of posting a bond or providing any other security, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
(b) The parties agree that venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in New York County, New York, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise forum non conveniens or any other argument that New York is not the proper venue. The parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the state of New York. The Company and each Holder consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 7(b) shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company and the Holders hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.
8. Entire Agreement; Amendment. The amendments and covenants set forth in Sections 2 through 6 of this Agreement shall become effective on the Effective Date. Except as modified by this Agreement, the Notes shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. This Agreement contains the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and, except as specifically set forth herein, neither the Company nor any Holder make any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters, and they supersede all prior understandings and agreements with respect to said subject matter, all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by (i) the Company, (ii) the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the combined principal amount of the B Notes outstanding as of the Effective Date, (iii) the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the combined principal amount of the C Notes outstanding as of the Effective Date, (iv) the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the combined principal amount of the D Notes outstanding as of the Effective Date, (v) the holders of at least 66 2/3% of the combined principal amount of the E Notes outstanding as of the Effective Date, (vi) the holders of at least two-thirds of the principal amount of the outstanding July 2009 Notes as of the Effective Date, (vii) the holders of at least two-thirds of the principal amount of the outstanding September 2009 Notes as of the Effective Date, and (viii) the holders of at least two-thirds of the principal amount of the outstanding April 2009 Notes as of the Effective Date.

18. Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Holders or the Company, the Company and each Holder shall execute and deliver such instruments, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement.
