(d)
Payment of Dividends to NSAQ Common Stockholders
. Following the Closing, NSAQ, SDI and Stockholder shall
cause NSAQ to issue cash dividends to its holders of NSAQ Common

of shares of NSAQ Common Stock owned by Stockholder as a result of
the Share Exchange, provided that such amount is legally available
therefor for the payment of such dividends. Such
dividend payments shall be made no later than the tenth (10
th ) calendar day following NSAQ’s receipt of
the dividend payment on its SDI Preferred Shares.
(e)
Waiver of Dividends by Stockholder . Stockholder
hereby agrees that it shall waive its rights to any such dividends
payable with respect to the NSAQ Shares pursuant to this Section
1.8; provided, however, that Stockholder shall participate in any
dividend payments on shares of NSAQ Common Stock that are not
acquired pursuant to the Share Exchange.
(f)
Pledge of SSME Shares as Collateral . In order to
secure the payment to NSAQ of the dividends on the SDI Preferred
Shares, Pledgor shall pledge to NSAQ all of his rights, title and
interest in 280,000 common shares of Sungdong Shipbuilding &

hereto. At Closing, Pledgor shall deliver the
certificates representing the SSME Pledged Shares, together with
any other documentation assigning such rights to such shares, to
NSAQ, to be held in escrow by a collateral agent in accordance with
the terms of the Pledge Agreement. In the event that SDI

Preferred Shares and such dividends continue to be unpaid for a
period of sixty (60) days following the applicable payment date,
NSAQ shall be entitled to take full possession of the SSME Pledged
Shares and liquidate the SSME Pledged Shares, or any part thereof,

being or currently planned to be conducted. NSAQ is in
possession of all Approvals necessary to own, lease and operate the
properties it purports to own, operate or lease and to carry on its
business as it is now being conducted by NSAQ, except where the

heretofore made available to SDI. NSAQ is not in
violation of any of the provisions of its Charter
Documents.
(b) NSAQ

corporation and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the
character of the properties owned, leased or operated by it or the
nature of its activities makes such qualification or licensing

the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect on NSAQ.
(a) NSAQ
has no direct or indirect Subsidiaries. NSAQ does not
