RECITALS

      WHEREAS, ShellCo has requested that the Holders: (A) waive the Events of Default, (as defined in the Notes) if any, that occurred and are continuing (i) as a result of ShellCo's (a) failure to comply with the financial covenants set forth in Section 14(1) of the Notes (“Noteholder Financial Covenant Default”); (b) termination of the employment of the consulting firm of RAS Management Advisors, Inc and Alvarez and Marsal, Inc.; (c) failure to file an S-1 and pay any fees and or penalties resulting there from (provided nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver of the requirement to pay said fees and or penalties) or to accrue and not pay any penalty or fee; (ii)under Section 4(a)(xviii) of the Notes as a result of the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Notes) under any Other Note (as defined in the Notes) which was triggered by the occurrence of the Noteholder Financial Covenant Default (collectively, the “Existing Events of Default”); and (B) amend the Notes in certain respects to clarify the intent of the parties thereto;

     WHEREAS, the consent of each of the holders of the Notes (each individually, a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) is required to waive the Existing Events of Default;

     WHEREAS, the signatures of the Holders representing at least a majority of the aggregate principal amount of the Notes now outstanding (the “Required Holders”) is required to amend the Notes as contemplated hereby; and


     WHEREAS, each of the Holders has agreed to waive the Existing Events of Default and to amend the Notes as provided herein, in each case, subject to the terms and conditions hereof.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the other mutual covenants contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

     SECTION 1. Waiver of Existing Events of Default. The Holders hereby waive each Existing Event of Default as of the date such Existing Event of Default occurred. This waiver is and shall be effective solely for the specific instance and purpose described herein and is not and shall not be applicable to any other Events of Default whether now existing or hereafter occurring. The Holders acknowledge and agree that all rights and remedies of Collateral Agent and Holders that arose as a result of the occurrence of the Existing Events of Default shall have no force or effect until such rights and remedies arise anew upon the occurrence of an Event of Default that does not constitute an Existing Event of Default.

     SECTION 2. Further Provisions; Amendments to Noteholder Documents. The term sheet annexed hereto as Exhibit A (the “Term Sheet”) sets forth additional terms of this Agreement, which terms are binding and effective as of the date hereof.

     Until each such member is elected to the ShellCo’s board of directors, Silver Oak Capital LLC shall have the right to nominate an observer to the ShellCo’s board of directors in lieu of that member, provided that each such observer is acceptable to the ShellCo. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Radcliffe SPC, Ltd., for and on behalf of the Class A Segregated Portfolio, shall not be entitled to participate under this Section in the nomination of an observer to ShellCo’s board of directors or in the nomination of a member to ShellCo’s board of directors.
