As used in this Make Good Agreement, Transfer Agent means Globex Transfer LLC, or such other entity hereafter retained by the Company as its stock transfer agent as specified in a writing from the Company to the Escrow Agent.

The Make Good Pledgor hereby irrevocably agrees that, other than in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, the Make Good Pledgor will not offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, sell any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, grant any option, right or warrant to purchase or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, or announce the offering of any of the Escrow Shares (including any securities convertible into, or exchangeable for, or representing the rights to receive Escrow Shares). In furtherance thereof, the Company will (x) place a stop order on all Escrow Shares which shall expire on the date the Escrow Shares are delivered to the Investors or returned to the Make Good Pledgor, (y) notify the Transfer Agent in writing of the stop order and the restrictions on such Escrow Shares under this Make Good Agreement and direct the Transfer Agent not to process any attempts by any Make Good Pledgor to resell or transfer any Escrow Shares before the date the Escrow Shares that should be delivered to the Investors are delivered to the Investors or returned to the Make Good Pledgor, or otherwise in violation of this Make Good Agreement.

Following delivery by the Make Good Pledgor of the Escrow Shares, the Make Good Pledgor shall not be required to deliver any additional securities or other property to the Escrow Agent or the Investors under any circumstances unless the Make Good Pledgor otherwise agrees in a separate written instrument.

5. Anti-dilution Shares.
a.
If in connection with any financing transaction in which the Company sells Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents, including, without limitation a Qualified Public Offering (an Equity Financing), the gross sales price per share of common stock (or Common Stock Equivalent) sold in the Equity Financing (the Financing Price Per Share) is less than $5.40 (as appropriately adjusted for any stock split, stock combination, recapitalization or similar transaction) (the Trigger Price), then the Investor Agent shall notify the Escrow Agent to release (and the Escrow Agent shall release within ten (10) Business Days) to the Investors on a pro rata basis, for no additional consideration, up to that number of Escrow Shares (such shares being the Anti-dilution Shares) as is equal to
$10,000,000/(Financing Price Per Share/2) 3,703,704
If the Financing Price Per Share equals or exceeds the Trigger Price, then the Investors shall not be entitled to any Anti-dilution Shares, but the Escrow Shares shall remain in Escrow unless and until they are to be released in accordance with the other provisions of this Agreement.
b.
If the Financing Price Per Share is less than the Trigger Price, then on or before the second Business Day following the Equity Financing, the Company shall give to the Investors a notice (the Financing Notice), setting forth the Financing Price Per Share, a statement as to the adjustment to be made pursuant to this Section 5 and the number of Anti-dilution Shares to be delivered to the Investors in accordance with this Section 5. The Company shall deliver to the Investors a certificate evidencing the appropriate number of Anti-dilution Shares deliverable to the Investors as a result of this Section 5 within 5 Business Days following the Equity Financing.
c.
The rights of the Investors under this Section 5 shall automatically terminate upon the occurrence of the Closing of a Qualified Public Offering in which it raises gross proceeds of at least $50 million at a price per share of no less than $5.40 (but following the delivery to the Investors of the appropriate number of Escrow Shares, if any, pursuant to the operation of this Section 5 in connection with such Qualified Public Offering).
6. Notice of Filings. The Company agrees to promptly provide the Investors with written notice of the filing with the Commission of any financial statements or reports referenced herein.
7. Escrow Shares. If any Escrow Shares are deliverable to the Investors in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, (i) Make Good Pledgor covenants and agrees to execute all such instruments of transfer (including stock powers and assignment documents) as are customarily executed to evidence and consummate the transfer of the Escrow Shares from Make Good Pledgor to the Investors, to the extent not done so in accordance with Section 2, and (ii) following its receipt of the documents referenced in Section 6(i), the Company and Escrow Agent covenant and agree to cooperate with the Transfer Agent so that the Transfer Agent may promptly reissue such Escrow Shares in the applicable Investors name and delivers the same as provided herein or otherwise directed in writing by the applicable Investors. Until such time as (if at all) the Escrow Shares are required to be delivered pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and in accordance with this Make Good Agreement, (i) any dividends payable in respect of the Escrow Shares and all voting rights applicable to the Escrow Shares shall be retained by Make Good Pledgor and (ii) should the Escrow Agent receive dividends or voting materials, such items shall not be held by the Escrow Agent, but shall be passed immediately on to the Make Good Pledgor and shall not be invested or held for any time longer than is needed to effectively re-route such items to the Make Good Pledgor. Assuming the Make Good Pledgor provides good and valid title to the Escrow Shares to be transferred and delivered on behalf of the Make Good Pledgor to the Investors hereunder, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims, the Escrow Agent will ensure that upon delivery of the Escrow Shares, good and valid title to the Escrow Shares, free and clear of all liens, encumbrances, equities or claims will pass to the Investors. The Escrow Agent shall not take any action which could impair Investors rights in the Escrow Shares. The Escrow Agent shall not sell, transfer, assign or otherwise dispose of (by operation of law or otherwise) or grant any option with respect to any Escrow Shares prior to the termination of this Agreement.

The duties and responsibilities of the Escrow Agent and Investor Agent, as the case may be, hereunder shall be determined solely by the express provisions of this Make Good Agreement and no other or further duties or responsibilities shall be implied, including, but not limited to, any obligation under or imposed by any laws of the State of New York upon fiduciaries.

Promptly after the receipt by Escrow Agent or the Investor Agent of notice of any such demand or claim or the commencement of any action, suit or proceeding relating to such demand or claim, Escrow Agent or the Investor Agent, as the case may be, will notify the other parties hereto in writing.

At any time, upon ten (10) Business Days' written notice to the Company and the Investors, Escrow Agent may resign and be discharged from its duties as Escrow Agent hereunder. As soon as practicable after its resignation, Escrow Agent will promptly turn over to a successor escrow agent appointed by the Company the Escrow Shares held hereunder upon presentation of a document appointing the new escrow agent and evidencing its acceptance thereof.
