I, (b) Wynnefield Small Cap Value, L.P., (c) Richard Geib, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), (d) Jennifer Geib, the CEO’s spouse, and (e) Charles Trapp, aFrank ~~director of the Company (each a “Holder”~~Kneller, and ~~collectively,~~Scott ~~the~~Nussbaum ~~“Holders”), in the principal amounts of $1,337,095.06, $863,541.60, $1,516,169.00, $1,516,169.00 and $55,295.68, respectively~~ (~~each a “Note”~~together, ~~and collectively,~~ the “~~Notes~~Independent Directors”)~~.

If the Company exercises~~disagreement ~~its~~with ~~right to prepay any of~~ the ~~Notes, the~~ Company ~~shall make payment to such Holder of an amount in cash equal to the sum of (i) the then outstanding principal amount of the Note to be prepaid and (ii) the accrued and unpaid interest~~ on ~~such~~any ~~outstanding~~matter ~~principal amount~~relating to be prepaid. Upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Notes, then, subject to the subordination provision contained in the Notes, the Company must repay to the Holders a 125% premium of the outstanding principal amount of the Notes and accrued and unpaid interest thereon, in addition to the payment of all other amounts, costs, expenses and liquidated damages due in respect of the Notes. The Company’s Chairman of the Board, Dwight Mamanteo, is a portfolio manager of Wynnefield Capital. The Notes supersede and replace 10% senior, unsecured promissory notes (the “Original Notes”) previously issued to the Holders. As an inducement to NFS to enter into the Lease, the Holders have agreed to amend and restate the Original Notes, by, among other things, changing the principal amount under the Original Notes to reflect the outstanding principal amount and accrued but unpaid interest as of the date of the Notes, and by subordinating their rights to the rights of NFS. Each Holder has returned its ~~Original Note to the Company for cancellation. In partial consideration of the above agreements by each Holder of the Original Notes~~operations, ~~the Company issued to each such Holder a Series A Common Stock Purchase Warrant (each a “Series A Warrant”~~policies, ~~and~~or ~~collectively, the “Series A Warrants”), as further described below~~practices.

I is to purchase up to 646,981 shares of Common Stock; the Series A Warrant issued to Wynnefield Small Cap Value, L.P. is to purchase up to 417,843 shares of Common Stock; the Series A Warrant issued to Mr. Geib is to purchase up to 733,630 shares of Common Stock; the Series A Warrant issued to Ms. Geib is to purchase up to 733,630 shares of Common Stock; and the Series A Warrant issued to Mr. Trapp is to purchase up to 26,756 shares of Common Stock. The Series A Warrants are exercisable commencing on the date of issuance at an exercise price of $1.55 per share. The Series A Warrants will expire on the fifth (5th) anniversary of their date of issuance. The exercise price is subject to adjustment upon stock splits, reverse stock splits, and similar capital changes. A Holder does not have a right to exercise its respective Series A Warrant to the extent that such exercise would result in such Holder being the beneficial owner in excess of 4.99% (or, upon election of such Holder, to 9.99% or greater), which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased or decreased up to 9.99% or greater upon notice to the Company, provided that any increase in such limitation will not be effective until 61 days following notice to the Company. The Series A Warrants were issued by the Company to the Holders as partial consideration for their agreement to extend the maturity date of Notes and modify such other terms as discussed above and further provided in the Notes.
