5 Shares Tendered at Price Determined by Shareholder (See Instructions):

By checking one of the following boxes below INSTEAD OF THE BOX UNDER “Shares Tendered At Price Determined in the Tender Offer,” the undersigned hereby tenders shares at the price checked. This action could result in none of the shares being purchased if the purchase price determined in the Tender Offer is less than the price checked below. IF YOU DESIRE TO TENDER SHARES AT MORE THAN ONE PRICE YOU MUST COMPLETE A SEPARATE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL FOR EACH PRICE AT WHICH SHARES ARE TENDERED.

PRICE (IN DOLLARS) PER SHARE AT WHICH SHARES ARE BEING TENDERED

Shares Tendered at Price Determined in the Tender Offer (See Instructions):

r By checking this box INSTEAD OF ONE OF THE BOXES UNDER “Shares Tendered at Price Determined by Shareholder,” the undersigned hereby tenders shares at the purchase price, as the same shall be determined in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer. For purposes of determining the purchase price, those shares that are tendered by the undersigned agreeing to accept the purchase price determined in the Tender Offer will be deemed to be tendered at the minimum price. The undersigned wants to maximize the chance of having the Company purchase all of the shares the undersigned is tendering (subject to the possibility of proration). Accordingly, by checking this box instead of one of the price boxes above, the undersigned hereby tenders shares at, and is willing to accept, the purchase price determined in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer. THIS ELECTION MAY LOWER THE PURCHASE PRICE AND COULD RESULT IN THE TENDERED SHARES BEING PURCHASED AT THE MINIMUM PRICE OF $4.00 PER SHARE.

CHECK ONLY ONE BOX ABOVE. IF MORE THAN ONE BOX IS CHECKED ABOVE, OR IF NO BOX IS CHECKED, THERE IS NO VALID TENDER OF SHARES.

6 ODD LOTS

As described in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase, under certain conditions, holders holding fewer than 100 shares may have their shares accepted for payment before any proration of the purchase of other tendered shares. This preference is not available to partial tenders or to beneficial or record holders of an aggregate of 100 or more shares. Accordingly, this section is to be completed only if shares are being tendered by or on behalf of a person owning, beneficially or of record, fewer than 100 shares in the aggregate. The undersigned either (check one box):

r is the beneficial or record owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 shares, all of which are being tendered; or

r is a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee that (a) is tendering for the beneficial owner(s), shares with respect to which it is the record holder, and (b) believes, based upon representations made to it by the beneficial owner(s), that each such person is the beneficial owner of an aggregate of fewer than 100 shares and is tendering all of the shares.

In addition, the undersigned is tendering either (check one box):

r at the purchase price, as the same will be determined by the Company in accordance with the terms of the Tender Offer (persons checking this box need not indicate the price per share above); or

r at the price per share indicated above in the section captioned “Price (In Dollars) per Share at Which Shares Are Being Tendered.”

CONDITIONAL TENDER

A tendering shareholder may condition such shareholder’s tender of shares upon the Company purchasing a specified minimum number of the shares tendered, as described in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase. Unless at least the minimum number of shares you indicate below is purchased by the Company pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer, none of the shares tendered by you will be purchased. Unless this box has been checked and a minimum specified, your tender will be deemed unconditional.

r The minimum number of shares that must be purchased from me, if any are purchased from me, is:________________ shares. If, because of proration, the minimum number of shares designated will not be purchased, the Company may accept conditional tenders by random lot, if necessary. However, to be eligible for purchase by random lot, the tendering shareholder must have tendered all of such shareholder’s shares and checked the box on the next line:

r The tendered shares represent all shares held by the undersigned.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPLETING THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL

1.	Sign, date and include your daytime telephone number in this Letter of Transmittal in Box 1 and, after completing all other applicable sections, return this form in the enclosed envelope. If your shares are represented by physical stock certificates, include them in the enclosed envelope as well.

PLEASE SIGN IN BOX 2 TO CERTIFY YOUR TAXPAYER ID OR SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBER if you are a U.S. Taxpayer. If the Taxpayer ID or Social Security Number is incorrect or blank, write the corrected number in Box 2 and sign to certify. Please note that 28% of your proceeds may be withheld as required by the IRS if the Taxpayer ID or Social Security Number is not certified on our records. If you are a non-U.S. Taxpayer, please complete and return form W-8BEN or other Form W-8.

3.	Your certificated share(s) and/or book entry shares you hold are shown in Box 3.

4.	Please indicate the total number of certificated share(s) and/or book entry shares of the Company stock you are tendering in Box 4.

Indication of Price at which Shares are being Tendered. If you want to tender your shares at a specified price within the $4.00 to $5.00 range, you must check one of the boxes under “Shares Tendered At Price Determined By Shareholder”. If you want to tender shares and are willing to accept the purchase price selected by the Company in accordance with the Terms of the Tender Offer, you must check the box under “Shares Tendered at Price Determined in the Tender Offer” instead of one of the price boxes under “Shares Tendered at Price Determined by Shareholder”. This action will maximize the chance of having the Company purchase your shares (subject to the possibility of proration). Note that this action could result in you receiving a price per share as low as $4.00. You must check only one box in the pricing section. If more than one box is checked or no box is checked, your shares will not be properly tendered. If you want to tender portions of your shares at more than one price, you must complete a separate Letter of Transmittal for each price at which you tender shares.

6.	Please see the Offer to Purchase for additional information regarding Box 6.

7.	If you want your check for cash to be issued in another name, fill in Box 7 with the information for the new account name. If you complete Box 7 your signature(s) must be guaranteed.

8.	Complete Box 8 only if the proceeds of this transaction and any unaccepted shares of the Company stock are to be transferred to a person other than the registered holder or to a different address.

If the certificate(s) which a registered holder (or transferee) wants to surrender has been lost or destroyed, contact the Exchange Agent for instructions at (877) 248-6417 or (718) 921-8317 prior to submitting your certificates for exchange. Any XYX stockholder who has lost certificates should make arrangements (which may include the posting of a bond or other satisfactory indemnification and an affidavit of loss) to replace lost certificates. Such arrangements should be made with Exchange Agent.

10.

Shareholders who cannot deliver their certificates and all other required documents to the Depositary or complete the procedures for book-entry transfer prior to the Expiration Time (as defined in Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase) may tender their shares by properly completing and duly executing the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery pursuant to the guaranteed delivery procedures set forth in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase.

11.

The Company will determine in its sole discretion the number of shares to accept, and the validity, eligibility and acceptance for payment of any tender. Any such determination will be final and binding on the parties. There is no obligation to give notice of any defects or irregularities to shareholders.

12.

If any of the shares tendered hereby are owned of record by two or more joint owners, all such persons must sign this Letter of Transmittal. If any shares tendered hereby are registered in different names on several certificates, it will be necessary to complete, sign and submit as many separate Letters of Transmittal as there are different registrations of certificates. If this Letter of Transmittal or any certificate or stock power is signed by a trustee, executor, administrator, guardian, attorney-in-fact, officer of a corporation or other person acting in a fiduciary or representative capacity, he or she should so indicate when signing, and proper evidence satisfactory to the Company of his or her authority to so act must be submitted with this Letter of Transmittal. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by the registered owner(s) of the shares tendered hereby, no endorsements of certificates or separate stock powers are required unless payment of the purchase price is to be made, or certificates for shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be issued, to a person other than the registered owner(s). Signatures on any such certificates or stock powers must be guaranteed by an eligible institution. If this Letter of Transmittal is signed by a person other than the registered owner(s) of the shares tendered hereby, or if payment is to be made or certificate(s) for shares not tendered or not purchased are to be issued to a person other than the registered owner(s), the certificate(s) representing such shares must be properly endorsed for transfer or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name(s) of the registered owner(s) appear(s) on the certificates(s). The signature(s) on any such certificate(s) or stock power(s) must be guaranteed by an eligible institution.

13.	If the space provided in Boxes 3 and 4 above is inadequate, the certificate numbers and/or the number of shares should be listed on a separated signed schedule attached hereto.

14.

Partial Tenders (Not Applicable to Shareholders Who Tender by Book-Entry Transfer). If fewer than all the shares represented by any certificate submitted to the Depositary are to be tendered, fill in the number of shares that are to be tendered in Box 4. In that case, if any tendered shares are purchased, new certificate(s) for the remainder of the shares that were evidenced by the old certificate(s) will be sent to the registered holder(s), unless otherwise provided in the appropriate box on this Letter of Transmittal, as soon as practicable after the acceptance for payment of, and payment for, the shares tendered herewith. All shares represented by certificates delivered to the Depositary will be deemed to have been tendered unless otherwise indicated.
