RIDER ----- In lieu of an outright sale, on October 15, 2007, Howard Dubinett entered into a pre-paid variable price forward sales contract ("Forward Contract") with UBS Securities LLC ("UBS"). Pursuant to the Forward Contract, Mr. Dubinett pledged 89,047 shares of his BRLI Common Stock to secure his obligation to deliver a maximum 89,047 shares of BRLI Common Stock to UBS on October 19, 2009 (the "Settlement Date"). As prepayment for the pledge of these shares, UBS agreed to pay Mr. Dubinett $2,572,474 or approximately $28.89 per share representing 87.9% of the proceeds from the sale of 89,047 shares on October 16, 2007. The number of shares that Mr. Dubinett is required to deliver on the Settlement Date varies based upon the price of the Common Stock on the Settlement Date. Mr. Dubinett will benefit from any excess in the price of the Common Stock on the Settlement Date between $32.87 per share up to a maximum $39.44 per share by being able to deliver fewer shares. Until the Settlement Date, Mr. Dubinett retains the voting rights to the 89,047 pledged shares and is deemed the beneficial owner of such shares.
