(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.

(“ SSME ”) owned by Pledgor (the “ SSME Pledged Shares ”) to NSAQ pursuant to the Pledge Agreement attached as Exhibit C 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 defaults on its obligation to pay any of the dividends on the 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, and take possession of the proceeds of any such sale, assignment or liquidation in satisfaction of the obligation to pay the dividends on the SDI Preferred Shares as more fully described in the Pledge Agreement.
