WHEREAS, all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of Newco is owned by the Investors;

WHEREAS, the TAS Stockholders acquired from Monroe Capital Advisors LLC indebtedness of the Company in the approximate amount of $18.4 million (the “Monroe Debt”) and amended the terms of the Monroe Debt to decrease the interest rate and fees payable thereunder and to waive certain existing events of default under the Monroe Debt for the benefit of the Company and advanced to the Company additional working capital in the amount of $6.0 million thereunder (the “Term Loan C”) which in turn allowed the Company to amend the terms of its indebtedness to CIT Group/Business Credit, Inc. (the “CIT Debt”) to resolve certain existing events of default and to increase the amount of funding available under that facility (the “Debt Restructure”);

WHEREAS, pursuant to a Participation Agreement between LJH and the Owl Creek Investors dated April 10, 2006, they agreed that LJH would own 80.52% of the Term Loan C, and would receive that percentage of any shares of the Common Stock, $.001 par value per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) into which the Term Loan C might be converted, and the Owl Creek Investors would own 19.48% of the Term Loan C and would receive that percentage of any Company Common Stock into which the Term Loan C might be converted (respectively, their “Pro Rata Shares”);

WHEREAS, the Company has entered into the Merger Agreement with Newco, which provides that Newco will merge with and into the Company in a transaction whereby holders of the Company Common Stock other than the Investors (the “Public Stockholders”) will be entitled to receive a cash amount of $4.00 per share of Company Common Stock (the “Merger”), on the terms and conditions stated in the Merger Agreement;

WHEREAS, in connection with the proposed Merger, Newco and the Investors have required that the Company enter into this Agreement providing for the Company to issue to the Investors, according to their Pro Rata Shares, up to 2,400,000 shares of Company Common Stock at a price of $2.50 per share (the “Company Stock Issuance”) in exchange for and in satisfaction of up to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan C, subject to the terms and conditions stated in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, THE INVESTORS, NEWCO AND THE COMPANY AGREE AS FOLLOWS:

1.1 Defined Terms. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement and not otherwise defined have the meanings given them in the Merger Agreement.

1.2 Consideration. In consideration of Newco’s entry into the Merger Agreement and the actions of the Investors in respect thereof, and for so long as the Merger Agreement remains in effect and has not been terminated, the Company agrees to issue to the Investors, according to their Pro Rata Shares, up to 2,400,000 shares of the Company Common Stock at a price of $2.50 per share ($6,000,000 in the aggregate) in exchange for and in full satisfaction of up to the outstanding principal balance of the Term Loan C (the “Conversion”) in compliance with the following requirements:

(a) Purchase and Sale of Common Stock. The Company hereby agrees to issue to the Investors up to 2,400,000 shares of Common Stock (subject to adjustment as provided below) (the “Base Shares”) at a price of $2.50 per share (the “Base Price”) upon the written notice and demand therefor delivered to the Company by LJH (a “Purchase Notice”) and tender of the note evidencing the Term Loan C, subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 1.2. The closing of the purchase and sale of shares of Company Common Stock (the “Closing”) shall take place on the fifth Business Day following satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in this Section 1.2, or such other date as is mutually agreed to by the Company and the Investors. The Closing shall be held at the offices of offices of Xxxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLP, 000 X. Xxxxx, Xxxxx 0000, Xxxxxx, Xxxxx 00000, unless another place is agreed to in writing by the parties hereto At the Closing, the Company shall deliver to the Investors certificates representing the shares of Company Common Stock that the Investors are purchasing hereunder and LJH will deliver to the Company its acknowledgement of the payment of a portion of the $6,000,000 principal amount of the Term Loan C equal to the aggregate Base Price of the number of Base Shares stated in the Purchase Notice, after which the accrued unpaid interest on the Term Loan C and any remaining balance of the Term Loan C will remain outstanding and owed to LJH in accordance with the terms of the agreements governing the payment of such amounts with respect to the Term Loan C. The right of the Investors to purchase shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to this Section 1.2 is subject to the conditions that: (i) all required filings with the SEC by the Company, the Investors, Newco and its Affiliates shall have been made, and all related deliveries of documents to the stockholders of the Company and the passage of notice periods required under 13(e) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder shall have occurred; (ii) Newco and the Investors shall affirm in writing at the time of the purchase that immediately following such purchase Newco and the Investors will effectuate a merger of Newco into the Company pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL in accordance with Section 5.04 of the Merger Agreement; (iii) Newco and the Investors shall affirm in writing that all shares of Company Common Stock owned by the Investors and their affiliates have been transferred to Newco; and (iv) no Adverse Recommendation Notice or Change in Company Recommendation, in each case in respect of a Superior Proposal and in accordance with Section 5.06 of the Merger Agreement, shall be in effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Merger Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 7.01 thereof, the Investors and the Company agree that the Investors shall not be entitled to purchase any shares of Company Common Stock pursuant to

this Section 1.2(a) and the purchase right provided hereunder shall be null and void and of no further effect.

(b) Representations of Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Investors that the shares of Company Common Stock purchased under this Section 1.2, when issued, will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, and will (i) be free of restrictions on transfer other than restrictions on transfer under applicable state and federal securities laws and (ii) not be issued in violation of any preemptive or similar rights of any stockholder of the Company.

(c) Representations of Investors. Each of the Investors, severally and not jointly, represents and warrants to the Company that (i) such Investor is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act; (ii) Company Common Stock purchased by such Investor pursuant to this Section 1.2 will be acquired by the Investor for the purpose of contributing such Company Common Stock to the capital of Newco, and as such is being purchased for investment for the account of Newco and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof or the grant of any participation therein, and (iii) except as set forth herein, neither such Investor nor Newco is obligated under any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to such person or to any unaffiliated third person, with respect to any of such Company Common Stock, and neither of them has any present intention of entering into any such contract, agreement or understanding.

(d) Adjustment of Share Purchase. Provided that Newco and the Investors collectively own at least 19,108,211 shares of the outstanding Company Common Stock, to the extent that the issuance of shares of Company Common Stock contemplated by this Section 1.2 would not result in the Investors and Newco owning in the aggregate at least ninety and one-tenth percent (90.1%) of the issued and outstanding Company Common Stock on the date of the Closing of such purchase, the number of shares of Company Common Stock which the Investors may purchase under this Section 1.2 will be increased to a number sufficient to result in such percentage of ownership, at a purchase price of $2.50 per share.

(e) Anti-Dilution. In the event of a reorganization, recapitalization, stock dividend or stock split, or combination or other change in the Company Common Stock, in order to prevent the dilution or enlargement of the rights provided in Section 1.2, the Base Price and the number of Base Shares shall be proportionately adjusted. When any adjustment is required to be made pursuant to this paragraph (e), the Company shall promptly mail to Newco and the Investors a certificate setting forth the Base Price and the number of Base Shares after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.

1.3 Support of Merger. (a) LJH represents and warrants that it is the beneficial owner of 15,385,812 shares of Company Common Stock (the “LJH Shares”). The Owl Creek Investors represent and warrant that they are the beneficial owners of an aggregate of 3,722,399 shares of the Company Common Stock (the “Owl Creek Shares”). LJH and the Owl Creek Investors are the sole stockholders of Newco. Prior to the Effective Time of the Merger, the LJH Shares and the Owl Creek Shares, together with any shares of Company Common Stock purchased pursuant to this Agreement (collectively, the “Newco Shares”) will be contributed to Newco and Newco will be the record holder of the Newco Shares at the Effective Time of the Merger.

(b) The Investors will, and will cause Newco to, upon the execution of the Merger Agreement, deliver to the Company a copy of a written consent and proxy (the “Proxy”), executed by each of the Investors and by Newco in the form attached hereto as Exhibits A-1 and A-2 and covering all shares of Company Common Stock owned or acquired by any of them, irrevocably adopting the Merger Agreement and the Merger, including, without limitation, voting in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement by the Investors in their capacity as stockholders of Newco, voting in favor of the adoption of the Merger Agreement by Newco as a stockholder of the Company pursuant to Subsection 1.3(d), and by the Investors in their capacities as stockholders of the Company pursuant to Subsection 1.3(d) and, if applicable, voting in favor of a merger pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL by the Investors in their capacities as stockholders of Newco. The Proxy will appoint Xxxxxx Xxxxxx and Xxx Xxxxxx, and each of them individually, as their proxy and attorney in fact in accordance with the DGCL, will be irrevocable and coupled with an interest, provided that such Proxy will terminate upon the earlier to occur of the consummation of the Merger or any termination of the Merger Agreement.

(c) Each of the Investors shall, and shall cause Newco to, at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (whether annual or special, and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), however called, pursuant to Section 5.01 of the Merger Agreement (A) when a meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause each share of Company Common Stock it owns to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum, (B) vote (or cause to be voted) in person or by proxy all shares of Company Common Stock it owns in favor of the adoption of the Agreement and the approval of the Merger and for any other matters necessary for consummation of the Transactions and (C) vote (or cause to be voted) all shares of Company Common Stock it owns against (X) any proposal for any recapitalization, reorganization, liquidation, merger, sale of assets or other business combinations between the Company and any other Person (other than the Merger) and (Y) any other action that could reasonably be expected to impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the Merger or any of the Transactions.

(d) Each of the Investors shall, at any meeting of the stockholders of Newco (whether annual or special and whether or not an adjourned or postponed meeting), or in connection with any action of the stockholders of Newco by written consent, (A) when a meeting is held, appear at such meeting or otherwise cause each share of Newco’s voting capital stock it owns to be counted as present thereat for the purpose of establishing a quorum, (B) exercise all voting and related rights of such Investor with respect to each share of Newco’s voting capital stock it owns in favor of the adoption of the Agreement and the approval of the Merger (whether consummated under Section 251 or Section 253 of the DGCL) and for any other matters necessary for consummation of the Transactions, and (C) exercise all voting and related rights of such Investor with respect to each share of Newco’s voting capital stock it owns against any action that could reasonably be expected to materially impede, interfere with, delay, postpone or adversely affect the consummation of Merger or any of the Transactions.

1.4 Subsequent Transactions. (a) Each of the Investors and Newco agrees with the Company that during the period commencing on the date of this Agreement and ending on the date that is six months following the termination of the Merger Agreement (the “Effective Period”), it will not agree with any person to cause the Company, or take any other action to cause the Company, to merge with any person pursuant to Section 253 of the DGCL, without the prior consent of the Special Committee, unless the terms of any such action or transaction include the payment or delivery to the Public Shareholders of at least the Agreed Consideration.

“Agreed Consideration” means cash in an amount of at least $4.00 per share of Company Common Stock. The Company agrees that the sale of the Company Common Stock owned by the Investors to a person who agrees to pay the Public Shareholders the same per share cash consideration as received by the Investors in any subsequent tender offer or merger, including any merger under Section 253 of the DGCL, will satisfy the requirements of this Section 1.4, even if such per share consideration is less than $4.00 per share.

(b) If any of the Investors, Newco or the Company enters into a Subsequent Transaction, agrees to enter into a Subsequent Transaction, or the Investors or Newco agree to cause the Company to enter into a Subsequent Transaction, during the Effective Period, each of the Investors, Newco and the Company agrees that it will not enter into any binding agreement providing for such Subsequent Transaction that does not include as one of its terms the payment or delivery to the Public Shareholders of Agreed Consideration. For purposes of this Section 1.4, a “Subsequent Transaction” means any of the following:

(i) any merger, consolidation, share exchange, sale of shares of Company Common Stock to a person not affiliated with the seller, business combination, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or other similar transaction (whether or not the Company is the entity surviving any such transaction) involving the Company or any of its Subsidiaries which results in any person beneficially owning 50% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries or 50% or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries (directly or indirectly, including by the ownership of equity or voting securities);

(ii) any sale, lease, exchange, transfer or other disposition (directly or indirectly, including by the transfer of equity or voting securities) of 50% or more of the assets of the Company and its Subsidiaries;

(iii) any sale, exchange, transfer or other disposition of equity or voting securities in which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries participates and which results in any person beneficially owning 50% or more of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries; or

(iv) any transaction or series of transactions, including a tender offer or exchange offer, that, if consummated, would result in any person beneficially owning more than 50% of any class of equity or voting securities of the Company or of any of its Subsidiaries.

1.5 Waiver of Requirement, Amendment. The restrictions set forth in Section 1.4 may be waived, and this Agreement may only be amended, by the Company if such action is approved by (a) vote of a majority of the Public Shareholders present in person or by proxy at a duly called meeting of the Company’s stockholders or (b) the affirmative vote of a majority of the members of the Special Committee.
