2.0 Transfer of Stock to Trustee.
Each Shareholder shall deposit the number of shares of capital stock set forth opposite its name above and the certificates for the stock, together with sufficient instruments duly executed for the transfer to the Trustee, and shall receive in exchange voting trust certificates. Upon deposit, all shares represented by the stock certificates deposited shall be transferred on the books of the Corporation to the names of the Trustee, who is authorized and empowered ( including by way of attorney in fact for each of NuState and of Rentar) to cause the transfers to be made, and also to cause any further transfers to be made that may become necessary due to a change in the identity of the Trustee as provided below.

3.0 Trustee's Control Over Stock.
During the period this Agreement remains in force, the Trustee shall possess legal title to the shares deposited, and shall be entitled to exercise all rights, including the right to vote in person or by proxy, in respect of any and all deposited shares. However, each holder of a trust certificate issued by the Trustee shall be entitled to receive payments equal to any and all dividends collected by the Trustee with respect to shares of stock deposited by the respective trust certificate holder.

4.0 Voting Trust Certificate.
On deposit by any Shareholder of a certificate or certificates for shares of stock under this Agreement, accompanied by instruments of transfer, the Trustee shall deliver or cause to be delivered to that Shareholder, a voting trust certificate or certificates for the same number of shares of stock as that represented by the certificate or certificates deposited.

On any such transfer, the Trustee will deliver or cause to be delivered to the transferee a voting trust certificate or certificates for the same number of shares of stock called for by the voting trust certificate transferred. Until the transfer, the Trustee shall treat the registered holder of a voting trust certificate as owner for all purposes. Every assignee or transferee of a voting trust certificate issued shall, by the acceptance of the certificate, become a party to this Agreement with like effect as though an original subscriber. The transfer of the Voting Trust Certificates shall be subject to that certain June 4, 2008 Shareholder Agreement of the Corporation and the Shareholders.

The Trustee’s right to vote shall include the right to vote for the election of directors and in favor of or in opposition to any resolution or proposed action of any character that may require the consent of Shareholders.

10.0 Termination of Voting Trust.
Unless the Trustee exercises its right, which is expressly granted to it, to terminate this Agreement, the Trustee shall distribute the stock of the Corporation held by it to the holders of the voting trust certificates in proportion to their respective holdings on surrender of their certificates to the Trustee, as may be instructed by the Shareholders, and this Agreement shall then terminate.

11.0 Sale or Purchase of Stock or Certificate by Trustee.
Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deprive the Trustee of the privilege to be enjoyed by all other depositors of selling or otherwise disposing of voting trust certificates as they see fit, or of purchasing additional certificates, or of purchasing additional stock and selling it.

In voting the shares of stock held by the Trustee or doing any other act with respect to the control or management of the Corporation as holders of the stock deposited under this Agreement, the Trustee shall exercise its best judgment in the interest of the Corporation, to the end that its affairs be properly managed.
