The Reporting Persons acquired the shares of Common Stock for investment purposes and in the ordinary course of business. The Reporting Persons may dispose of additional securities of the Company at any time and from time to time in the open market, through dispositions in kind to parties holding an ownership interest in TCM, TCO, TM, TOA, TPP, TA and/or TCP 2, or otherwise.

Accordingly, the Reporting Persons reserve the right to change their plans or intentions and to take any and all actions that they may deem to be in their best interests.

	On March 1, 2007, the Company, Tontine Capital Partners, L.P. a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (“TCP”) and Tontine Capital Overseas Master Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership and an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (“TMF”) entered into a Registration Rights Agreement, which was subsequently amended by (i) an Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement dated October 19, 2007 by and among the Company, TCP, TMF, Tontine Partners, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership and an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (“TP”), Tontine Overseas Fund, Ltd., a Cayman Islands exempted company and an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (“TOF”) and Tontine 25 Overseas Master Fund, L.P., a Cayman Islands limited partnership and an affiliate of the Reporting Persons (“T25”), (ii) an Amendment No. 2 to Registration Rights Agreement dated July 18, 2008 by and among the Company, TCP, TMF, TP, TOF and T25, (iii) an Amendment No. 3 to Registration Rights Agreement dated September 12, 2008 by and among the Company, TCP, TMF, TP, TOF and T25, and (iv) an Amendment No. 4 to Registration Rights Agreement dated October 31, 2008 by and among the Company, TCP, TMF, TP, TOF and T25 (as amended, the “Registration Rights Agreement”). On January 9, 2009, TCP, TMF, TP, TOF and T25 entered into a letter agreement (the “RRA Letter Agreement”), which (i) waived the requirement under the Registration Rights Agreement that the Company must file a shelf registration statement by December 31, 2008 to register the resale of the shares of Common Stock owned by the Reporting Persons and (ii) extended the date by which the Company is required to file the shelf registration statement to March 31, 2009. TMF, TOF and T25 subsequently assigned to TCP 2 the registration rights provided under the Registration Rights Agreement with respect to the 2,103,590 shares of Common Stock transferred to TCP 2 effective February 1, 2010. The demand and “piggyback” registration rights granted to the Reporting Persons (and their qualifying transferees) under the Registration Rights Agreement are unaffected by the RRA Letter Agreement. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, on May 27, 2009, the Company filed a registration statement on Form S-1

registering, among other things, the resale of all of the shares of Common Stock held by the Reporting Persons (the “Resale Registration Statement”). The Resale Registration Statement was declared effective on August 17, 2009. On March 26, 2010, the Company filed a post-effective amendment to the Resale Registration Statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective on April 1, 2010. Pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company has agreed to maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement until the Reporting Persons no longer hold any securities eligible for registration thereunder.

Under the terms of a Securities Purchase Agreement between TCP, TP, TOF, T25 and the Company dated April 22, 2008, the parties affirmed certain rights initially granted to the Reporting Persons under a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company, TCP, TMF, TP, TOF and T25, dated August 22, 2007 (the “August 2007 SPA”) and a Securities Purchase Agreement between the Company, TCP and TMF dated March 1, 2007 (the “March 2007 SPA”), such that so long as the Reporting Persons hold at least 10% of the outstanding Common Stock, they will have the right to appoint up to two nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors and the right to appoint a representative to observe meetings of the respective Board and committee meetings of the Company and its subsidiaries, and for so long as the Reporting Persons hold at least 20% of the outstanding Common Stock, they will have the right to appoint up to three nominees to the Company’s Board of Directors and a representative to observe Board and committee meetings (the “Contractual Board Rights”). The Reporting Persons are not currently exercising their Contractual Board Rights, as there are no nominees of the Reporting Persons serving on the Company’s Board of Directors and the Reporting Persons have no representatives serving as observers with respect to Board of Directors or committee meetings.

TCP and TMF have entered into an agreement with J. Cameron Drecoll, Patrick Rosmonowski, Dennis Palmer and Noel Davis (collectively, the “Former BF Shareholders”), the former shareholders of Brad Foote Gear Works, Inc., a corporation that was acquired by the Company on October 19, 2007, whereby (i) TCP and TMF agreed that, so long as the Former BF Shareholders collectively own at least 15% of the Common Stock of the Company, TCP and TMF and their affiliates would vote their shares of the Common Stock of the Company in favor of the election of J. Cameron Drecoll as a director of the Company, and (ii) the Former BF Shareholders agreed that, so long as the Reporting Persons have the right to appoint at least one director to the Board of Directors of the Company (in connection with their rights under the August 2007 SPA or the March 2007 SPA), the Former BF Shareholders would vote their shares of Common Stock of the Company in favor of the election of those individuals appointed by the Reporting Persons.

At the time the parties entered into the March 2007 SPA, TCP, TMF and each of Christopher Allie, Raymond L. Brickner, III, Terence P. Fox and Daniel P. Wergin (each a “Seller” and collectively, the “Sellers”) entered into a separate Securities Purchase Agreement dated March 1, 2007 (the “Founders SPA”). Pursuant to the terms of the March 2007 SPA and the Founders SPA, TCP, TMF and the Sellers entered into an Irrevocable Proxy (the “Irrevocable Proxies”) granting TCP and TMF a right to vote each of their shares of Common Stock (i) to ensure that any future acquisitions by the Reporting Persons of up to 35% of the fully-diluted outstanding Common Stock will not be subject to anti-takeover provisions included in any of the Company’s organizational documents or the laws and regulations of any governmental authority; and (ii) for the election of directors for the purpose of enforcing the right of the Reporting Persons to appoint its designees to the Company’s Board of Directors. Pursuant to the Irrevocable Proxies, each Seller also agreed in his capacity as a director of the Company to vote for the Board designees of the Reporting Persons and to enforce the rights of the TMF and TCP in connection with any future acquisitions by them of Common Stock.

On March 1, 2007, TCP, Integritas, Inc., the Sellers, Samuel W. Fairchild and certain trusts affiliated with the Sellers (the “Stockholders”), entered into a letter agreement (the “Right of First Offer/Refusal”), whereby the Stockholders granted TCP and its affiliates a right of first offer and a right of first refusal for the shares of Common Stock owned or acquired by the Stockholders or certain of their affiliates following the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the March 2007 SPA and the Founders SPA. Under the Right of First Offer/Refusal, any Stockholder who desires to transfer Common Stock to an unaffiliated third party must provide TCP a right of first offer. If TCP or its affiliate makes an offer, the Stockholder may either accept the offer, attempt to sell the Common Stock to another party (at no less than 105% of TCP’s offer price within 30 days of TCP’s or its affiliate’s offer), or determine not to transfer the Common Stock. If TCP or its affiliate does not make an offer, such stockholder may solicit offers to sell all or a portion of its offered shares to any party for a two month period. In addition, and subject to certain conditions, if a Stockholder who desires to transfer Common Stock receives an unsolicited offer from a third party who is not an affiliate of such Stockholder, TCP or its affiliate shall have a right of first refusal to purchase such Common Stock upon the same terms presented by the third party. Under the Right of First Offer/Refusal, the Company agreed to instruct its transfer agent to impose restrictions on the shares subject to the Right of First Offer/Refusal.

Except as described in the Schedule 13D, the Reporting Persons do not have any contracts, arrangements, understandings or relationships (legal or otherwise) with any person with respect to any securities of the Company, including but not limited to the transfer or voting of any of the securities, finder’s fees, joint ventures, loan or option arrangements, puts or calls,

	guarantees of profits, division of profits or losses, or the giving or withholding of proxies.
