RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Parties have previously entered into other agreements and understandings (the “Previous Agreements”), to wit:
| · | A Seven (7%) Percent Secured Convertible Promissory Note, dated November 10, 2004 (the “Infinity Note”); |
| · | An Escrow Agreement, dated November 10, 2004 (the “Escrow Agreement”); |
| · | A Security Agreement, dated November 10, 2004 (the “Security Agreement”); |

WHEREAS, the Parties wish to enter into this Agreement to settle and to discharge the obligations under the Previous Agreements.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and mutual covenants and representations set forth below, the Parties agree, intending to be legally bound, as follows:
| 1. | Payments to Wein. In substitution and replacement for the obligations of Infinity in the Infinity Note and Note Amendments, Infinity hereby agrees to pay the sum of $125,000 to Wien. Of this amount, $50,000 is being paid contemporaneously with the signing hereof, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, and Infinity will pay to Wien $50,000 on February 15, 2008 and $25,000 on March 15, 2008 (these two deferred payments referred to as the “Subsequent Payments”); provided, however, that if any Subsequent Payment is not timely made, the Subsequent Payments shall accrue interest on the unpaid principal balance thereof at the rate of 7% per annum and “Subsequent Payments” shall include any such interest. |
1
| 2. | Issuance of Stock to Wein. |
(a) | Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Infinity agrees to issue to Wein 100,000 shares of its common stock (the “Common Stock”) contemporaneously with the signing hereof. |
(b) | Not by way of limitation, the issuance of the Common Stock is made in reliance on the representations and warranties of Wien set forth at paragraphs 6 (b) (iv), (v), (vi) and (vii), hereafter, and also subject to the compliance with the provisions at paragraph 7 hereof. |
(c) | Additionally, immediately after SOS (as defined below) completes its first acquisition, merger or similar transaction, Infinity shall assign and transfer a number of shares to Wien so that Wien will hold 12.5% of the number of shares of common stock of SOS held by Infinity (including its officers, directors and employees), immediately after SOS completes such acquisition, merger or similar transaction. |
| 3. | Cancellation of Notes and Other Agreements. Wien hereby forgives the payment by Infinity of the Infinity Note, as amended by the Note Amendments, which is hereby deemed to be fully paid and the obligations thereof satisfied, without reservation or condition. All covenants and agreements within the Infinity Note, the Note Amendments and the Debt Restructuring Agreement, whatsoever, are hereby terminated and are without force or effect. |
| 4. | Security and Release of Security. |
| (a) | As security for the payment of the Subsequent Payments, Infinity agrees to pledge 2,500,000 shares (the “Pledged Shares”) of the common stock of Satellite Organizing Solutions, Inc. (“SOS”), which common stock currently is the subject of the Security Agreement and Escrow Agreement. In order to evidence the pledge of the Pledged Shares, Infinity agrees to execute, simultaneously herewith, the New Pledge Agreement (the “New Pledge Agreement”) attached hereto as Exhibit “A”. |
| (b) | The Obligations (as defined in the Security Agreement), having been deemed satisfied by paragraph 3 hereof, the Security Agreement and the Security Interest (as defined in the Security Agreement) in the 2,500,000 shares of common stock of SOS (which constitutes the Collateral in the Security Agreement and also will constitute the Pledged Shares under the New Pledge Agreement) are hereby terminated and shall have no further force or effect. Wein shall deliver to Infinity all Uniform Commercial Code termination statements and similar documents, all fully-executed and in a condition ready for appropriate filing, and take such further actions, which Infinity shall then or thereafter reasonably request to evidence such termination of said Security Agreement and the Security Interest existing upon the Collateral. |

4
| (b) | Wien represents and warrants to Infinity that: |
| (i) | It has all necessary power and authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this Agreement, the New Pledge Agreement and the Amendment to the Escrow Agreement and to carry out their provisions. All action on Wien’s part required for the lawful execution and delivery of such agreements have been or will be effectively taken prior hereto. Upon its execution and delivery, this Agreement, the New Pledge Agreement and the Amendment to the Escrow Agreement will be valid and binding obligations of Wien, enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (x) as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (y) as limited by general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies. |
| (ii) | It has the requisite power and authority to release, as provided herein, the security interest on the SOS shares of stock which was previously established by the Security Agreement. |
| (iii) | It and the Escrow Agent have not assigned or transferred, or purported to assign or transfer, to any third person or entity any claim, right or cause of action relative to the Previous Agreements or otherwise released or contemplated to be released hereunder and also agrees to indemnify and hold Infinity harmless against any liability, loss, damage, cost or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of any breach of this provision. |
| (iv) | It is acquiring the Common Stock solely for its own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Common Stock or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention. |
| (v) | Without lessening or obviating the representations and warranties of Infinity, Wien hereby: (x) acknowledges that it has received all the information it has requested from Infinity and its Affiliates and considers necessary or appropriate for deciding whether to enter this Agreement, the New Pledge Agreement and the Amendment to the Escrow Agreement and to acquire the Common Stock; (y) represents that it has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers from Infinity and its Affiliates regarding the terms and conditions of the offering of the Common Stock and to obtain any additional information necessary to verify the accuracy of the information given to Wien; and (z) further represents that it has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risk of this investment. |
5
| (vi) | Wien acknowledges that investment in the Common Stock involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Common Stock for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of its investment. |
| (vii) | Wien resides in the state or province identified in the address of Wien set forth on the signature page hereto. |
| (c) | The Parties agree that all representations and warranties made by them within this Agreement shall survive the execution and performance of this Agreement. |
| 7. | Other provisions concerning the Common Stock. |
| (a) | Without in any way limiting the representations and warranties of Wien regarding the Common Stock, as set forth above, Wien further agrees not to make any disposition (directly or indirectly) of all or any portion of the Common Stock unless and until: |
| (i) | There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the 1933 Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or |
| (ii) | (A) the transferee has agreed in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement, (B) Wien shall have notified Infinity of the proposed disposition, (C) Wien shall have furnished Infinity with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and (D) Wien shall have furnished Infinity with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to Infinity, that such disposition will not require registration under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, provided that no such opinion shall be required for dispositions in compliance with Rule 144, except in extraordinary circumstances. |
| (iii) | Notwithstanding the provisions of paragraphs (i) and (ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by Wien by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were Wiens hereunder. |
6
| (b) | Wien understands and agrees that all certificates evidencing the Common Stock to be issued to Wien may bear the following legend: |
| | THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED. |
| (c) | Wien understands that the Common Stock has not been registered under the 1933 Act on the basis that no distribution or public offering of the stock of Infinity is to be effected. Wien realizes that the basis for the exemption may not be present if, notwithstanding its representations, Wien has a present intention of acquiring the Common Stock for a fixed or determinable period in the future, selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the Common Stock. Wien has no such present intention. |
| (d) | Wien recognizes that the shares of Common Stock must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the 1933 Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Wien recognizes that Infinity has no obligation to register the Common Stock, or to comply with any exemption from such registration. |
| (e) | Wien is aware that Common Stock may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 adopted under the 1933 Act (“Rule 144”) unless certain conditions are met, including, among other things, the existence of a public market for the Common Stock, the availability of certain current public information about Infinity, the resale following the required holding period under Rule 144 and the number of shares being sold during any three month period not exceeding specified limitations. Wien is aware that the conditions for resale set forth in Rule 144 have not been satisfied and that Infinity presently has no plans to satisfy these conditions in the foreseeable future. |
| (f) | Wien represents and warrants that it is an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. |
| (g) | Wien hereby agrees it shall not (directly or indirectly) sell, transfer, make any short sale of, grant any option for the purchase of, or enter into any hedging or similar transaction with the same economic effect as a sale, any common stock (or other securities) of the Company held by Wien (other than those included in a registration) for a period specified by the representative of the underwriters of common stock (or other securities) of the Company not to exceed one hundred eighty (180) days following the effective date of a registration statement of the Company filed under the 1933 Act. |
7
| 8. | Miscellaneous provisions. |
| (a) | Entire Agreement; Drafting. |
| (i) | This Agreement, together with the New Pledge Agreement and the Amendment to the Escrow Agreement, constitutes the entire and only agreements between the Parties with regard to the subject hereof and supersedes all proposals, negotiations, and representations made or had prior to their execution except to the extent that the same are specifically incorporated herein. Each Party has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this Agreement and the New Agreements, and of all other matters pertaining thereto, as it deems necessary. |

| (c) | Binding Clause. This Agreement, and all covenants, releases and agreements of the Parties contained herein shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns.

EXHIBIT A
NEW PLEDGE AGREEMENT
PLEDGE AGREEMENT
This PLEDGE AGREEMENT is made as of the 17th day of January, 2008, by Infinity Capital Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Pledgor”), for the benefit of BARRY WIEN and FRANK WIEN (jointly and severally, “Pledgee” and, together with Pledgor, the “Parties”).
BACKGROUND
The Parties have executed a Settlement Agreement of even date herewith (the “Settlement Agreement”).
As more fully set forth herein, Pledgor has pledged to Pledgee 2,500,000 shares of the common stock (the “Shares”) of Satellite Organizing Solutions, Inc., a Nevada corporation.
This Agreement is made for the benefit of Pledgee to secure the payment of the Subsequent Payments (as defined in the Settlement Agreement) (the “Liability”).
AGREEMENT
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of Pledgee settling certain prior transactions in the Settlement Agreement, Pledgor hereby covenants and agrees with Pledgee as follows:
1. Pledge of Shares
(a)To secure payment of the Liability, Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, transfers and delivers to Pledgee a first lien on, and perfected security interest in, the following (all of which shall be referred to herein as the “Collateral”): (i) the Shares and all certificates representing the Shares; (ii) all proceeds of the sale of the Shares, or any part of the Shares; and (iii) all items identified as part of the Collateral in paragraph 3 hereof.
(b) Pledgor hereby delivers to Pledgee the certificates representing the Shares accompanied by stock powers duly executed in blank by Pledgor, in form suitable for transfer; provided, however, that unless and until part or all of the Collateral is transferred to Pledgee in accordance with paragraph 4 hereof, all of the Collateral shall be, and remain, the property of Pledgor (subject to the security interests granted herein).
2. Voting While No Default
Unless and until a Default (as hereinafter defined) shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall be entitled to vote any and all Shares and to give consents, waivers or ratifications in respect thereof.
1
3. Dividends and Other Distributions
Unless and until a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, all distributions with respect to the Shares (including, without limitation, all cash dividends payable in respect of the Shares) shall be paid to Pledgor; provided that all cash dividends payable in respect of the Shares which represent a liquidating, or other, distribution in return of capital shall be paid to Pledgee and shall be retained by Pledgee as part of the Collateral. Pledgee shall also be entitled to retain as part of the Collateral:
(a) All other or additional stock or other securities or property (other than cash) paid or distributed by way of dividend in respect of the Shares;
(b) All other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) paid or distributed in respect of the Shares by way of stock-split, spin-off, split-up, reclassification, combination of shares or similar rearrangement; and
(c) All other or additional stock or other securities or property (including cash) which may be paid in respect of the Shares by reason of any consolidation, merger, exchange of stock, conveyance of assets, liquidation or similar corporate reorganization.
4. Remedies in Case of Default
In the event that a Default shall have occurred and be continuing, Pledgor shall transfer all or any part of the Collateral into Pledgee’s name or the name of Pledgee’s nominee or nominees; provided that:
(a) All Collateral transferred to Pledgee upon a Default, together with all other moneys received by Pledgee hereunder, shall be applied to the satisfaction of the Subsequent Payments due at the time of such Default, based upon the value of the Collateral as of the date or dates of application. The value of the Collateral as of the date or dates of application shall be the value agreed upon by Pledgor and Pledgee, from time to time, or if they are unable to agree upon a value at anytime, shall be the value determined by an appraiser mutually agreed to by Pledgor and Pledgee.
(b) The value of the total amount of the Collateral which may be transferred to Pledgee pursuant to this paragraph shall not exceed the aggregate amount of the Subsequent Payments determined as of the date of transfer and in the manner set forth in subparagraph (a) hereof.
2
5. Remedies Cumulative
The exercise or beginning of the exercise by Pledgee of any one or more of the rights, powers or remedies provided for in this Pledge Agreement shall not preclude the simultaneous or later exercise by Pledgee of all such other rights, powers or remedies, and no failure or delay on the part of Pledgee to exercise any such right, power or remedy shall operate as a waiver thereof.
6. Further Assurances
Pledgor agrees that Pledgor will join with Pledgee in executing, filing and re-filing such financing statements, continuation statements and other documents in such offices as Pledgee may deem necessary or appropriate to perfect and preserve Pledgee’s security interest in the Collateral and agrees to do such further acts and things and to promptly execute and deliver to Pledgee such additional conveyances, assignments, agreements and instruments as Pledgee may reasonably require or deem advisable to carry into effect the purposes of this Pledge Agreement or to further assure and confirm unto Pledgee its rights, powers and remedies hereunder.
7. Transfer By Pledgor
Until the termination of this Pledge Agreement, Pledgor will not sell or otherwise dispose of, grant any option with respect to, or pledge or otherwise encumber any of the Collateral or any interest therein (except pursuant to this Pledge Agreement or as otherwise expressly permitted by this Pledge Agreement).
8. Termination; Release
(a) The Pledge Agreement shall terminate at such time as all Subsequent Payments have been satisfied in full.
(b) Upon termination of this Pledge Agreement, Pledgee will promptly execute and deliver to Pledgor a proper instrument or instruments acknowledging the satisfaction and termination of this Agreement, and will duly assign, transfer and deliver to Pledgor such of the Collateral as may be in the possession of Pledgee and which has not theretofore been applied pursuant to this Agreement.
9. Definition of Default
A Default shall be deemed to have occurred upon the occurrence of either of the following: (a) the failure of Pledgor to make any payment due with respect to the Liability within ten (10) days after delivery to Pledgor of written notice of failure to make timely payment; or (b) the failure of Pledgor to comply with any of the provisions of this Pledge Agreement and such failure is not cured within ten (10) days after delivery to Pledgor of written notice of such failure.
3
10. Miscellaneous Provisions
(a) This Pledge Agreement shall create a continuing security interest in the Collateral and shall be binding upon the heirs, personal representatives and assigns of Pledgor and shall inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by, Pledgee and Pledgee’s heirs, personal representatives and assigns.
(b) The provisions of this Pledge Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
(c) This Pledge Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.
(d) In the event that any provision of this Pledge Agreement shall prove to be invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed to be severable from the other provisions of this Pledge Agreement, which shall remain binding on all parties hereto.
(e) Any notice, communication, request, reply or advice (hereinafter severally and collectively called “Notice”) required or permitted to be given by any of the Parties to another by this Agreement must be in writing and delivered to the address set forth on the signature page hereof (or to such new address as provided by Notice thereof), and with copies to the counsel at the addresses shown on the signature page (or to such other counsel as the parties may designate by Notice to the other Parties).

(f) This Agreement constitutes the entire and only agreement between the Parties with regard to the subject hereof and supersedes all proposals, negotiations, and representations made or had prior to their execution except to the extent that the same are specifically incorporated herein. Each Party has made such investigation of the facts pertaining to this settlement and this Agreement, and of all other matters pertaining thereto, as it deems necessary.
(g) No modification or amendment of this Agreement or any of its provisions, or a waiver thereof, shall be binding upon the Party against whom enforcement of such modification or amendment is sought unless made in writing and signed by it in a similar manner as this Agreement. No waiver of any breach of any provision of this Agreement shall be held to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach, and the failure of a Party to enforce at any time any provision hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of any right of such Party to subsequently enforce such provision or any other provision hereof.
4
(h) This Agreement, and all covenants, releases and agreements of the Parties contained here in shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the respective successors and assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the Parties and their authorized assignees or their successors by operation of law, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement.
(i) Each Party to this Agreement shall pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, this Pledge Agreement has been executed as of the date first above written.

AMENDMENT TO THE ESCROW AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT TO ESCROW AGREEMENT
This Amendment (the “Amendment”), dated as of the 17th day of January, 2008, to the Escrow Agreement (the “Escrow Agreement”) dated November 10, 2004, by and among Infinity Capital Group, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Infinity”), Barry Wien and Frank Wien (jointly and severally referred to as “Wien” and, together with Infinity, the “Parties”), and Jeffrey Marcus as escrow agent (the “Escrow Agent”).
The Parties have signed a Settlement Agreement (the “Settlement Agreement”) and a Pledge Agreement, (the “Pledge Agreement”), both of even date herewith. Under the Pledge Agreement, Infinity has pledged Two Million Five Hundred Thousand (2,500,000) shares of Satellite Organizing Solutions, Inc. ("SOS"), a Nevada corporation, common stock (the “Common Stock”).
The Escrow Agent currently holds the Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Escrow Agreement.
The Parties have requested that Escrow Agent act as Escrow Agent as provided herein, intending that the Escrow Agent shall hold the Common Stock in furtherance of the Pledge Agreement.
It is agreed that the language contained in the Escrow Agreement is hereby amended, and superseded in its entirety, to read, instead, as follows:
1. Escrow Property. Infinity shall deliver with the execution hereof to Escrow Agent a certificate for 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock of SOS in the name of Infinity to be held by Escrow Agent in accordance with this Escrow Agreement together with a stock power signed by Infinity. Infinity shall have the sole and absolute right to vote such shares so long as there is no breach or default under, or an Event of Default exists under the Pledge Agreement.
2. Delivery of Stock.
2.1 Upon an Event of Default. Ten (10) days after Escrow Agent receives written notice from Wien of a Default (as defined in the Pledge Agreement), Escrow Agent shall, and the Parties hereby irrevocably instruct Escrow Agent to, release the escrowed certificate for 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock of SOS to Wien. Escrow Agent shall cause SOS’s transfer agent to register such shares in the name of Wien immediately prior to such transfer, and Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder shall immediately terminate with no liability to any of the Parties.
2.2 Termination. Upon satisfaction of all Subsequent Payments (as defined in the Settlement Agreement), this Escrow Agreement shall terminate, and Escrow Agent shall return the Common Stock to Infinity. Escrow Agent’s duties hereunder shall immediately terminate with no liability to any of the Parties.

final order, from which no further appeal may be taken, of a court having proper jurisdiction, or (ii) to deliver the Common Stock into the possession of any court of proper jurisdiction as such is set forth in Section 7.1 of this Agreement, and, upon giving notice to Wien and Infinity of such action, shall thereupon be relieved of all further responsibility.
4.7 Indemnification. Each of Wien and Infinity hereby jointly and severally agree to indemnify the Escrow Agent for, and to hold it harmless against, any loss, claim, action, liability, damage, cost or expense incurred without bad faith on the part of the Escrow Agent arising out of or in connection with the Escrow Agent's entering into and or performing under this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the cost and expense of defending itself against any claim, action or liability.
