On May 14, 2010, the MMI Group (as defined in the Nomination Agreement) entered into a Nomination Agreement with the Issuer (the “Nomination Agreement”).

Additionally, the MMI Group will have the right to nominate for election to the Board one of its principals at the Issuer’s 2011 Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “2011 Annual Meeting”) for a term expiring in 2014 and the Issuer has agreed to support such nomination.
