  American
  Defense Systems, Inc. (the "Company") previously entered into a Securities
  Purchase Agreement (the "Purchase Agreement"), dated March 7, 2008, with
  certain investors (the "Series A Holders"), pursuant to which the
  investors acquired shares of the Company's Series A Convertible Preferred
  Stock ("Preferred Shares") and related warrants ("Warrants").  The Purchase Agreement
  ha
  s
  been filed as
  an Exhibit to Amendment
  No. 1 to the Company's registration statement on Form 10, filed with
  the SEC on March 21, 2008
  .
  On May 23, 2008, in furtherance of the
  Company's pending application to list its common stock on the American Stock
  Exchange ("AMEX"), the Company and the Series A Holders entered into a Consent
  and Agreement of Series A Convertible Preferred Stockholders (the "Consent
  and Agreement").  The Consent and
  Agreement provides, among other things, (i) that for the purpose only of
  determining the number of votes each Preferred Share shall be entitled to vote

  in no event shall any Preferred Share be converted into shares of common stock
  pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, any Dividend Share (as that term

  Certificate of Designations, or any Warrant Share be issued upon exercise of
  the Warrants, if such conversion, issuance or exercise would cause the Company
  to have issued more than 7,858,358 shares of Common Stock, without approval of
  the holders of the Common Stock or the agreement, waiver or consent of the AMEX
  with respect to such stockholder approval.
  Pursuant to the Consent and Agreement, the
  Company will provide each stockholder entitled to vote at a special or annual
  meeting of stockholders of the Company (the "Stockholder Meeting"), which shall
  be promptly called and held not later than December 31, 2008, a proxy
  statement, soliciting each such stockholder's affirmative vote for approval of
  resolutions providing for the Company's issuance of all of the Securities (as
  that term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) as described in the Transaction
  Documents (as that term is defined in the Purchase Agreement) in accordance
  with applicable law and the rules and regulations of AMEX (such
  affirmative approval being referred to herein as the "Stockholder Approval").  Additionally, for the Fiscal year ended December 31,
  2008, the Company has agreed (A) to achieve (i) Revenues (as that
  term is defined in the Consent and Agreement) equal to or exceeding $50,000,000
  and (ii) Consolidated EBITDA (as that term is defined in the Consent and
  Agreement) equal to or exceeding $13,500,000, and (B) to publicly disclose
  and disseminate its operating results for such period, no later than February 15,
  2009.
  On May 23, 2008, as required by the
  Consent and Agreement, certain stockholders of the Company (the "Stockholders")
  entered into a voting agreement with the Company (the "Voting Agreement").  Pursuant to the Voting Agreements, the
  Stockholders have agreed, among other things, to vote in favor of the
  Stockholder Approval.  The Voting
  Agreement shall be terminate immediately following the Stockholder Approval.
