WHEREAS, the Buyer and the Company mutually desire to terminate the Common Stock Purchase Agreement dated as of July 8, 2005, by and between the Company and the Buyer (the “Purchase Agreement”) and the agreements entered into in connection with the Purchase Agreement.  All capitalized terms used in this Agreement that are not defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement.




NOW THEREFORE, the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:




1.

TERMINATION OF THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT.  




The Purchase Agreement, and the other Transaction Documents between the Buyer and the Company related to the Purchase Agreement (other than this Agreement) are hereby terminated effective as of the date hereof and any and all rights, duties and obligations arising thereunder or in connection with the Purchase Agreement, and the Transaction Documents are now and hereafter fully and finally terminated, provided, however, that (i) the representations and warranties of the Buyer and Company contained in Sections 2 and 3 of the Purchase Agreement, (ii) the indemnification provisions set forth in Section 8 of the Purchase Agreement, and (iii) the agreements and covenants set forth in Section 11 of the Purchase Agreement shall survive such termination and shall continue in full force and effect (the “Surviving Obligations”).







2.

MISCELLANEOUS.




(a)

Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial.  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of Illinois, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Illinois or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of Illinois.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the City of Chicago, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.  EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE 








HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.




(b)

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.




(c)

Headings.  The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.




(d)

Severability.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement in that jurisdiction or the validity or enforceability of any provision of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one Trading Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.
