Pursuant to F.S.A. ss 607.1602, we demand to inspect and copy the records specified below on April 24, 2012 or on any mutually agreeable date no later than April 27, 2012. Pursuant to F.S.A. ss 607.1603, please comply with this demand by delivering the requested records to us by mail, email or fax. The purposes of this demand are (1) to determine the value of our shares, (2) to determine whether there has been any corporate waste, and (3) to assess the stewardship and performance of the officers and directors in order to permit us to exercise our voting rights as a shareholder in an informed manner. 1.	Invoices and records relating to the total amount of expenses incurred to date in connection with any internal investigations commenced since September 27, 2011. 2.	Minutes of any board or committee meetings in which possible or actual wrongdoing by anyone employed by or connected with Imperial was discussed. 3.	Documents relating to the anticipated total cost of the internal investigations or their anticipated completion date. 4.	Documents relating to the cost of defending the shareholder class action complaints. 5.	Documents relating to Imperial's current cash balance. We remind you that F.S.A. ss 607.1604(3) provides that if a "court orders inspection or copying of the records demanded, it shall also order the corporation to pay the shareholder's costs, including reasonable attorney's fees, reasonably incurred to obtain the order and enforce its rights under this section unless the corporation, or the officer, director, or agent, as the case may be, proves that it or she or he refused inspection in good faith because it or she or he had a reasonable basis for doubt about the right of the shareholder to inspect or copy the records demanded." Moreover, refusal to comply with our demand, if done in bad faith, would constitute a breach of fiduciary duty. Hopefully, it will not be necessary for us to seek a court order.
