Exhibit 99.2

This FIRST AMENDMENT (this “Amendment”) dated October 18, 2010 is entered into by and among Newcastle Partners, L.P. (“Newcastle”), Xxxxxx Xxxx (“Xxxx”), Lorex Investments AG (“Lorex”), Xxxx Xxxxxxxx (“Xxxxxxxx”) and the Xxxxxxxx Family Investments, L.P. (“Xxxxxxxx X.X.”) (each of Xxxx, Lorex, Xxxxxxxx and the Xxxxxxxx X.X., a “Selling Party” and, collectively, the “Selling Parties”).

WHEREAS, the parties hereto (the “Parties”) entered into a Mutual Support Agreement (the “Agreement”) on August 26, 2008;

WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution hereof, the Parties, together with Xxxxxxxxxx International, Inc. (the “Company”), are entering in a Settlement Agreement, pursuant to which the Parties desire to amend the Agreement to provide for a procedure for the nomination, election and removal of independent members of the Board of Directors; and

WHEREAS, capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings attributed to them in the Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the agreements set forth below, the parties hereto agree as follows:

I. Board Size

Section I-D of the Agreement is hereby amended to read in its entirety as follows:

Effective as of New Century’s annual stockholder meeting in 2010 (the “2010 Annual Meeting”) and so long as the Agreement remains in effect, the parties hereto agree that they will vote to, and that they will use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their representatives to the New Century Board of Directors to, vote to maintain the size of its Board of Directors at seven (7) persons, unless the NP Representatives, the Xxxx Representative and the Xxxxxxxx Representative agree that the Board of Directors can be expanded in excess of seven (7).

II. Independent Nominees

The following Sections I-E, I-F, I-G, I-H, I-I, I-J and I-K shall be added to the Agreement:

In addition to provisions of Section I-A, Newcastle and each of the Selling Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their representatives on the Board of Directors of New Century to vote to nominate and recommend the election of the following persons to be members of the Board of Directors at each meeting of New Century’s Board of Directors, and at any adjournment or adjournments thereof, or pursuant to any consent in lieu of a meeting, relating to the nomination of directors with respect to any annual meeting of stockholders:

One NP Independent Representative. The “NP Independent Representative” means with respect to each annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the 2010 Annual Meeting, except in the case of the re-nomination of a Continuing NPIR Nominee (as defined below), one individual selected by Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx mutually from the Newcastle QUI List (as defined below) in accordance with Sections I-G and I-J below; provided that if Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx do not agree on such individual, Newcastle shall choose between the selections of each of Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx from the Newcastle QUI List or (c) in the event Newcastle desires that a Continuing NPIR Nominee be re-nominated for an additional term, the Continuing NPIR Nominee. A “Continuing NPIR Nominee” shall mean a Qualifying Unaffiliated Individual (as defined in Section I-H) then serving on New Century’s Board of Directors whose initial nomination or appointment as a director was previously approved by Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx pursuant to Sections I-G and I-J below.

One Seller Independent Representative. The “Seller Independent Representative” means with respect to each subsequent annual meeting of stockholders beginning with the 2010 Annual Meeting, except in the case of the re-nomination of a Continuing SIR Nominee (as defined below), one individual selected by Newcastle from the Seller QUI List (as defined below) in accordance with Sections I-G and I-J below or (c) in the event Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx mutually desire that a Continuing SIR Nominee be re-nominated for an additional term, the Continuing SIR Nominee. A “Continuing SIR Nominee” shall mean a Qualifying Unaffiliated Individual then serving on New Century’s Board of Directors whose initial nomination or appointment as a director was previously approved by Newcastle pursuant to Sections I-G and I-J below. The Seller Independent Representative and Newcastle Independent Representative shall be referred to herein collectively as the “Independent Representatives”.

In the event of a vacancy on New Century’s Board of Directors caused by the death, incapacity, resignation or removal of an individual designated pursuant to Section I-E and which the Board of Directors will fill, Newcastle and each of the Selling Parties agree to use their commercially reasonable efforts to cause their representatives on the Board of Directors of New Century to vote to appoint a director that meets the same criteria set forth in Section 1-E as the individual whose death, incapacity, resignation or removal caused such vacancy (i.e., if the departed director was a Seller Independent Representative, then the newly appointed individual shall be a replacement Seller Independent Representative and vice versa with respect to the NP Independent Representative). The applicable Pre-Approving Party for the Independent Representative whose seat is vacant shall, within fifteen (15) business days of the event causing the vacancy, provide a QUI List as described in Section I-G below (or amend or supplement the most recent QUI List provided by that party so that such QUI List meets the requirements of Section I-G) from which the applicable Selecting Party will select a Seller Independent Representative or NP Independent Representative, as the case may be, in the manner provided in Section I-J below.

On an annual basis (beginning with the 2010 Annual Meeting), each party (Newcastle, on the one hand, and Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx jointly, on the other hand, each “Pre-Approving Party”) shall use diligent efforts to provide the other party (the “Selecting Party”) with a list containing no less than four individuals (i) at least two of whom qualify as Enhanced QUIs (as defined below) and are identified as such and (ii) all of whom qualify as Qualifying Unaffiliated Individuals (as defined below), together with phone and email contact details for each listed individual, and a representation that to the best knowledge of the Selecting Party after reasonable investigation, each of the individuals named on the list is a Qualified Unaffiliated Individual or an Enhanced QUI, as the case may be (such list, a “QUI List”; the QUI List provided by Newcastle, the “Newcastle QUI List”, and the QUI List provided by the Sellers, the “Seller QUI List ; and the annual delivery of a QUI List by either party, the “Annual QUI Notice”); provided that, if Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx are unable to agree on four qualifying individuals for purposes of the Seller QUI List, then each shall pre-approve one Enhanced QUI and one Qualified Unaffiliated Individual for such list (which four individuals in total shall comprise the Seller QUI List). Beginning with the 2012 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, the Annual QUI Notice shall be delivered by the Pre-Approving Party to the Selecting Party no later than the date that is seventy-five (75) calendar days prior to the mailing date for the proxy statement for the prior year’s annual meeting; provided that, the failure of a Pre-Approving Party to provide to the applicable Selecting Party a complete QUI List on a timely basis in accordance with the foregoing (or pursuant to the last sentence hereof) shall not result in a party losing its right to deliver a pre-approved list of candidates for its applicable Independent Representative under this Section I-G unless, on the advice of outside counsel to New Century (such advice, a “Delay Determination”), such delay (if continued) would, in light of Proxy Statement Requirements (as defined below), materially limit the Selecting Party’s ability to appropriately consider (including to interview) each candidate on the applicable QUI List delivered to it and make an informed selection under Section I-J hereof. In the event that a Delay Determination is made, the applicable Selecting Party shall choose a candidate from the prior year’s QUI List delivered by the Pre-Approving Party (which selection may be a Continuing NPIR Nominee or Continuing SIR Nominee). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything to the contrary: (1) with respect to the 2010 Annual Meeting of Stockholders, each Pre-Approving Party shall provide the relevant QUI List to the Selecting Party no later than one week following the execution date of the First Amendment to this Agreement; (2) with respect to the 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2011 Meeting”), each Pre-Approving Party shall provide the relevant QUI List to the Selecting Party no later than February 15, 2011, (3) with respect to the 2011 Meeting and each subsequent annual meeting, if Newcastle desires that the Continuing NPIR Nominee be re-nominated, then, in lieu of delivering a Newcastle QUI List to Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx, Newcastle shall be deliver to Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx notice of such re-nomination within the time frame set forth above with respect to the Annual QUI Notice and (4) with respect to the 2011 Meeting and each subsequent annual meeting, if Each and Xxxxxxxx mutually desire to re-nominate the Continuing SIR Nominee, then, in lieu of delivering a Seller QUI List to Newcastle, Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx shall be deliver to Newcastle notice of such re-nomination within the time frame set forth above with respect to the Annual QUI Notice.

For purposes of this Agreement: (A) a “Qualifying Unaffiliated Individual” means an individual that (i) meets Nasdaq’s independent director standards, (ii) is not an Affiliate of any Seller Party, Newcastle or New Century or a holder of 5% or more of any class of equity interests in any Seller Party or Newcastle or any of their Affiliates (other than New Century) and (iii) has or maintains no Economic Relationship (as defined below) with any Seller Party, Newcastle, New Century or any Affiliate of the foregoing, where (B) an individual is considered to have an “Economic Relationship” with another Person if such individual (or any Affiliate thereof) receives (or has received in the prior five years) a material direct financial benefit from such other Person (e.g., material salary or fees (including but not limited to director or consultant fees), material contractual payments under a commercial contract, equity or debt investment proceeds, etc.); (C) “Proxy Statement Requirements” shall mean the requirement of the Board of Directors to finalize a slate of director candidates in order to satisfy on a timely basis applicable annual meeting or proxy statement filing requirements under Section 211 of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “DGCL”) or federal securities laws; and (D) “material” shall mean $5,000 or more; provided, however, that any payment of $1,000 or more to any individual on any QUI List and any Seller Party, Newcastle, New Century or any Affiliate of the foregoing shall be disclosed on such QUI List. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, an individual shall not be disqualified from being a Qualifying Unaffiliated Individual solely by virtue of concurrently serving or having served on the same board of directors of any company (other than a company in which any Seller Party, Newcastle or New Century or Affiliate thereof holds a 5% or greater equity interest) with any Seller Party, Xxxx Xxxxxxx or any other Newcastle Representative.

For purposes of this Agreement: (A) an “Enhanced QUI” means an individual that (i) meets the Qualifying Unaffiliated Individual standard set forth above and (ii) is not a Close Long Time Personal Friend (as defined below) of a Pre-Approving Party; (B) a “Close Long Time Personal Friend” of a Pre-Approving Party means an individual who has had Meaningful Social Contact (as defined below) on at least a monthly basis for at least ten months out of every year starting 1990 or earlier up to the present with Xxxxxxxx or Xxxx (if Xxxxxxxx and Xxxx are the Pre-Approving Parties) or with Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxxx or Xxxx Xxxxx (if Newcastle is the Pre-Approving Party) (for purposes of this Section I-I only, Xxxxxxxx or Xxxx, on the one hand, or Xxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxx Xxxxx or Xxxx Xxxxxx, on the other hand, are referred to as the “Relevant Principals”); and (C) “Meaningful Social Contact” means in-person, pre-arranged (between the Relevant Principals and the Close Long Time Personal Friend) social contact that is one-on-one or involves a group of no more than ten (10) people and which (1) focuses principally on non-professional and non-business related topics and (2) occurs in a non-professional setting (e.g., residential setting, restaurant, etc.); provided that, without limitation, (a) any spontaneous contact (e.g., “running into” each other) in any location (whether or not occurring with frequency) and (b) contact occurring in larger group social setting or event not organized by a Relevant Principal or the Close Long Time Personal Friend or spouse of either or Close Long Time Personal Friend of both (e.g., a party at a third party’s home or club, a class, football game, concert, etc.) are expressly excluded as “Meaningful Social Contact”.

Following delivery of a QUI List by a Pre-Approving Party (including a notification of any selection (1) pursuant to the Annual QUI Notice or (2) for purposes of filling a vacancy under Section I-F), a Selecting Party shall have 45 calendar days to select one individual from the relevant QUI List delivered to such Selecting Party for the applicable Independent Representative. If a Selecting Party desires to conduct in-person interviews of one or more candidates listed on the relevant QUI List, the Selecting Party shall be permitted to conduct such in-person interviews at the Company’s reasonable expense (consistent with the Company’s travel policy); provided that (1) the Selecting Party shall endeavor to promptly schedule such interviews following receipt of the relevant QUI List, (2) a Selecting Party shall use diligent efforts to conduct all such in-person interviews on no more than two days (in other words, back-to-back interviews), and (3) such in person interviews shall be conducted in Dallas, Texas and/or New York City, unless the Company consents otherwise (consent not to be unreasonably withheld). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, if the Selecting Party fails to inform the Company of its selection of the applicable Independent Representative within such forty-five (45) day period (other than in the case of a Delay Determination or a Failed Substitution (as defined below)), the Pre-Approving Party shall have the right to select the relevant nominee from the QUI List provided by such Pre-Approving Party; provided that, if (a) the reason for such delay is a disagreement between Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx as to the identity of NP Independent Representative and (b) each of Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx have notified the Company of a selection from the Newcastle QUI List within the forty-five (45) day period, then Newcastle shall select the NP Independent Representative from between the two candidates selected by Xxxx and Xxxxxxxx.

A Selecting Party may challenge the fact that at least two individuals on an applicable QUI List failed to meet the Enhanced QUI standard on the basis that an individual is a Close Long Time Personal Friend of a Pre-Approving Party; provided that any such challenge must be on a good faith, reasonable basis based on actual facts that have come to light or were discovered by the objecting party which indicate that the challenged individual meets the definition of a Close Long Time Personal Friend. If a challenging party presents facts in writing that establish that a challenged nominee who was presented as an Enhanced QUI is a Close Long Time Personal Friend within the definition set forth in Section I-I, then the party proposing that an individual shall promptly propose another nominee who satisfies the definition of an Enhanced QUI (such substitution, a “Substitute Nominee"). If a challenging party does not present such facts, the party proposing the applicable nominee shall be under no obligation to withdraw or substitute the applicable nominee. Nothing in this Section I-K (including the fact that any challenge to individual on a QUI List is contemplated, pending or made) shall excuse a Selecting Party's failure to review and interview any other nominees on a QUI List proposed by a Pre-Approving Party or any Substitute Nominee, except for a Pre-Approving Party's failure to timely propose a Substitute Nominee (such event, a “Failed Substitution”).
