DEFC 14A Additional Information – Internet Postings

The following additional information is provided relating to three postings made by me on the Internet.

On May 7, 2008, May 23, 2008, and on June 5, 2008 I posted comments on the TVI Message Board of Yahoo.com. All messages were posted under the alias of “straightarrow95”.

The following message under the subject “Preliminary Opposition Proxy Solicitation” was posted on the Yahoo Message Board on May 7, 2008.

The following message under the subject “Final Opposition Proxy” was posted on the Yahoo Message Board on May 23, 2008.

Note to all - I have filed today with the SEC a Definitive Opposition Proxy Solicitation in connection with TVI’s meeting scheduled for June 20. This is the document that will be mailed to shareholders. The document may be downloaded and viewed or printed from the SEC website at the following link: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/3http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/352079/000113379608000187/tv80473.htm Good luck to us all.

The following message under the subject “Revised Final Proxy Solicitation” was posted on the Yahoo Message Board on June 5, 2008.

Note to TVI Shareholders - I filed on June 4, 2008 with the SEC a Revised Definitive Opposition Proxy Solicitation in connection with TVI’s meeting scheduled for June 20.

This document is an amended version of the Definitive Statement that I filed on May 23, 2008.

The document may be downloaded and viewed or printed from the SEC website at the following link: http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/3http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/352079/000113379608000198/tv80483.htm Mailing of the Solicitation to shareholders who have their certificate in their possession began on June 5. Mailing to shareholders who have their stock in a brokerage account will likely begin on June 6.

Please note the following voting and proxy information which is contained in the Solicitation:

— You may cancel an earlier proxy simply by executing a later proxy.

— If you wish to support me or any of my proposals you MUST vote the Blue Proxy Card.

— If you have already voted the White Proxy Card which supports the Board and you wish to change, you may do so simply by voting the Blue Proxy Card.

— If your stock is held in a brokerage account you may use the Blue Proxy Card to vote on line at www.ProxyVote.com, by using the Automated Voice Response (AVR) phone system, or by returning the completed Proxy Card.

— To use the AVR phone system, have your Blue Proxy Card ready, dial the toll free number 800-454-8683, and follow the operator instructions.

— You may vote at ProxyVote or via the AVR system until midnight June 19.

— If your stock certificate is in your possession, you may vote the Blue Proxy Card only by completing and returning it in the envelope provided.

Thanks for your support! Allen Bender

Participant information is contained in the revised Definitive Statement I filed on June 4, 2008.
