The Company shall take such action as the Company reasonably determines is necessary in order to obtain an exemption from, or to qualify the Shares for, sale to the Purchaser at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities laws of the states of the United States, and shall provide evidence of such actions promptly upon the written request of the Purchaser.

7.7    Board Matters.

(a)    Purchaser Designees. Subject to compliance with the Company’s governing documents and all applicable laws, rules, regulations and policies (including the rules of the Trading Market and, by way of clarification and not limitation Nasdaq Listing Rule 5640 and Nasdaq’s interpretive guidance with respect thereto), in each case as then in effect, from and after the Closing, Purchaser shall be entitled to designate two individuals for election or appointment to the Board; provided, however, that if and as the Purchaser’s voting power reduces subsequent to the Closing, whether as a result of sales or other dispositions of the Company’s securities by the Purchaser, additional issuances of securities by the Company or otherwise, the Purchaser’s designation rights as set forth in this ‎Section 7.7(a) shall decrease to the right to designate one individual if and when the Purchaser’s voting power is less than 16.7% but 10% or more, and shall terminate if the Purchaser’s voting power is less than 10%, of the overall votes then entitled to be cast in an election of directors by the stockholders of the Company; provided further, however that in no event shall the Purchaser be entitled to designate for election or appointment to the Board a number of directors, rounded up to the next whole number, in excess of the product of (i) the total number of directors then on the Board, and (ii) the voting power then held by the Purchaser, expressed as a percentage of the overall votes then entitled to be cast in an election of directors by the stockholders of the Company; provided further, however, that any individual designated by the Purchaser shall (a) be capable of being elected or appointed to the Board without violation of, and not have failed to comply with, any applicable law, rule or regulation and the requirements of any federal, state, local or other court, self-regulatory body or other Governmental Entity, including the Commission, the Trading Market and any regulatory authority with jurisdiction over the Company or its activities, (b) not have engaged in acts or omissions constituting a breach of the such individual’s fiduciary duties to the Company and its stockholders, (c) not have engaged in acts or omissions that involve an intentional violation of law and that are felonies or violations of law involving moral turpitude, and (d) not have engaged in any transaction involving the Company during the term of such individual’s membership on the Board from which such individual derived an improper personal

benefit that was not disclosed to the Board prior to the authorization of such transaction if such disclosure is required pursuant to applicable laws, rules or regulations, the Company’s governing documents or the Company’s corporate governance policies, in each case as determined by the Board reasonably and in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel (any noncompliance with the foregoing clauses (a), (b), (c) or (d), a “Disqualification”). The individuals designated by the Purchaser pursuant to and in accordance with this ‎Section ‎7.7(a) shall be referred to herein as the “Purchaser Designees.” Upon the Purchaser’s selection and written notification to the Company of the Purchaser Designees, the Company and the Board shall be entitled to conduct such due diligence regarding such Purchaser Designees as the Board reasonably determines is necessary to confirm the absence of a Disqualification, and thereafter the Board, subject to the exercise of the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Delaware law, shall promptly appoint the Purchaser Designees as directors on the Board.

(b)    The Board shall, subject to the exercise of the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Delaware law and compliance, in the Board’s discretion, with all Exchange Act rules and rules of the Trading Market applicable to board committee membership (provided that the Purchaser Designees shall not be required to be independent directors under the Trading Market rules solely for purposes of membership on the Board), concurrently with or promptly after the Purchaser Designees’ appointment to the Board in accordance with Section 7.7(a), appoint one of the Purchaser Designees, as notified by Purchaser to the Company, as a member of the audit committee of the Board (the “Audit Committee”) and any special committee of the Board formed from time to time, to the extent such special committee is formed for the purpose of making decisions that, as determined in good faith by the Board in its reasonable discretion, are strategically significant to the Company (a “Special Committee,” and together with the Audit Committee, the “Board Committees”). If the applicable Purchaser Designee appointed to a Board Committee does not comply with, or ceases to satisfy, the Exchange Act rules or the rules of the Trading Market applicable to membership of the Board Committees, or to the extent (i) such Purchase Designee is subject to a conflict of interest with regard to a particular subject matter or transaction, as reasonably determined in good faith by the Board, or (ii) access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel, the Board shall be entitled to exclude such Purchaser Designee from the applicable Board Committee or any meeting or portion thereof and, with respect to exclusion from a Board Committee, the Purchaser shall be given an opportunity to replace such Purchaser Designee with a new Purchaser Designee that, as determined in good faith by the Board in its reasonable discretion, does satisfy such requirements, or, as an alternative, the Purchaser shall be entitled to nominate a representative (the "Committee Observer"), who shall be an individual, not an entity, as an observer of the respective Board Committee from which the Purchaser Designee was excluded (the “Affected Board Committee”). The Affected Board Committee shall invite the Committee Observer to attend all meetings of the Affected Board Committee in a nonvoting observer capacity and, in this respect, will give the Committee Observer copies of all notices, minutes, consents and other materials that it provides to its committee members; provided, however, that the Committee Observer will agree to hold in confidence and trust all information so provided; and, provided further, that the Company reserves the right to withhold any information and to exclude such Committee Observer from any meeting or portion thereof to the extent (i) such Committee Observer is subject to a conflict of interest with regard to a particular subject matter or transaction, as reasonably determined by the

Board, or (ii) access to such information or attendance at such meeting could adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel. Any Committee Observer will be required to enter into a customary confidentiality agreement with the Company before attending any meeting of any Board Committee. Purchaser may at any time, upon written notice to the Company, remove the Committee Observer from his or her position as an observer of the Affected Board Committee and, if Purchaser remains entitled to designate the Purchaser Designees (or any of them) pursuant to Section 7.7(a), replace him or her by another individual who shall upon such replacement be the "Committee Observer" hereunder. Purchaser shall provide the Company with the name, address and any other relevant information relating to the replacement Committee Observer reasonably requested by the Company.

(c)    Substitute Designee. If any of the Purchaser Designees ceases to be a member of the Board or any Board Committee for any reason, and if the Purchaser remains entitled to designate the Purchaser Designees (or one of them) pursuant to Section 7.7(a), the Purchaser shall be entitled to designate another individual who has not been subject to a Disqualification (a “Substitute Designee”) to serve as a director, and/or member of the applicable Board Committee(s), as the case may be, in place of such Purchaser Designee, and, following written notification of such Substitute Designee by the Purchaser and subject to the Board’s reasonable due diligence rights and fiduciary duties as set forth in Section 7.7(a) and compliance with applicable Exchange Act and Trading Market Rules as forth in Section ‎7.7(b), the Board shall promptly appoint the Substitute Designee as a director on the Board and/or a member of the applicable Board Committee(s), as the case may be. Upon becoming a member of the Board and/or a member of the applicable Board Committee(s), as the case may be, the Substitute Designee shall succeed to all of the rights, privileges and required qualifications and obligations under this Agreement of a Purchaser Designee being replaced, and shall be considered a “Purchaser Designee” hereunder for all purposes from and after the date of the Substitute Designee’s appointment or election.

(d)    Resignations. Upon termination of the Purchaser’s designation rights pursuant to Section 7.7(a), the Purchaser shall promptly cause each of the Purchaser Designees to offer to resign from the Board and the Board Committees, subject to the right of the Board to accept or reject such resignation offers. In addition, subject to Purchaser’s rights to nominate a Substitute Designee pursuant to Section 7.7(c), Purchaser shall cause a Purchaser Designee to resign from the Board and the Board committees on which such Purchaser Designee serves if such Purchaser Designee, as determined reasonably by the Board in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel, becomes subject to a Disqualification, or if the Board otherwise determines such resignation is necessary to comply with the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Delaware law.

(e)    Removal. For so long as the Purchaser remains entitled to the election or appointment of the Purchaser Designees (or one of them) pursuant to Section 7.7(a), without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Board shall not take any action to remove or cause the replacement of a Purchaser Designee, unless the Board determines reasonably and in good faith after consultation with outside legal counsel that such Purchaser Designee has become subject to a Disqualification or if the Board otherwise determines such removal or replacement is necessary to comply with the Board’s fiduciary duties under applicable Delaware law.

(f)    Compensation, Rights and Obligations. The Purchaser Designees shall be (i) compensated for their service as directors and shall be reimbursed for their expenses on the same basis as all other non-employee directors of the Company, and (ii) entitled to the same rights of indemnification and directors’ and officers’ liability insurance coverage as the other non-employee directors of the Company as such rights may exist from time to time, including execution and delivery of an indemnification agreement with the Company in substantially the same form as other non-employee directors of the Company, and (iii) subject to, and bound to comply with, the same Company policies, guidelines and programs and legal and other obligations as the other non-employee directors of the Company.

(g)    Confidentiality. The Purchaser shall, and shall cause its Affiliates to, maintain the confidentiality of all material nonpublic information of the Company disclosed to any of them by or on behalf of the Purchaser Designees in their capacity as members of the Board; provided that such confidentiality obligation shall not apply to information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public through no fault of the Purchaser or its representatives; (ii) the Purchaser can demonstrate was within the possession of the Purchaser or its Affiliates before it being furnished to the Purchaser or its Affiliates by or on behalf of any of the Purchaser Designees (excluding all information provided by the Company to the Purchaser prior to the date hereof or in connection with the negotiation of definitive agreements contemplated by the Credit Support Letter of Intent or, if such definitive agreements are executed and delivered, in connection with the performance thereunder); (iii) becomes available to the Purchaser or its Affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than a Purchaser Designee without such source having breached a duty of confidentiality towards the Company. The Purchaser Designees shall comply with the insider trading policies of the Company applicable to directors, including trading pre-clearance requirements and trading blackout periods as may be in effect from time to time. In addition, the Purchaser hereby acknowledges that it is aware that United States securities laws prohibit any person who has received from an issuer material nonpublic information concerning the issuer from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell the securities of such issuer, make investment recommendations based on such material nonpublic information or otherwise affect the trading price of such issuer’s securities.

7.8    Standstill. Without the prior approval of at least a majority of the Board (excluding the Purchaser Designees), from the date hereof until the later of (a) the second anniversary of the date of this Agreement, and (b) the date on which the Purchaser ceases to hold more than 5% of the Company’s then outstanding Common Stock, the Purchaser shall not, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to, directly or indirectly: (i) make, or in any way become a “participant” in, any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are defined in Regulation 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act) to vote, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to the voting of, any equity securities of the Company, including relating to the election of directors of the Company (except that neither the Purchaser nor its Affiliates shall be deemed to be a participant in such a solicitation merely by reason of the membership of the Purchaser Designees on the Board pursuant to the terms of this Agreement or the voting of the Shares by Purchaser in any manner that Purchaser determines); (ii) grant any proxies with respect to any equity securities of the Company to any Person (other than Purchaser’s Affiliates) to vote such securities for or on behalf of the Purchaser

(except as recommended by the Board); (iii) seek additional representation on the Board (in addition to that provided for in Section 7.7 of this Agreement) or seek the removal of any member of the Board that is not a Purchaser Designee or a change in the composition or size of the Board (except as provided in Section 7.7); (iv) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit a proposal for or offer of, or otherwise effect or seek to effect, any transaction which would result in the Purchaser beneficially owning more than 30% of the Company’s equity securities or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or debt (whether by merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, recapitalization, restructuring, sale, liquidation, dissolution, equity issuance or other extraordinary transaction); (v) other than with respect to the Voting Agreement, form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act and the rules promulgated thereunder) or enter into any arrangements or agreements (whether written or oral), in each case in connection with any of the foregoing; or (vi) request the Company to, directly or indirectly, amend or waive any provision of this Section 7.8 other than through non-public communications with the Company, including the Board, that would not be reasonably determined to trigger public disclosure obligations for any party; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this Section 7.8 shall terminate and be of no further force and effect at such time as the Company enters into or publicly announces that it plans to enter into a definitive agreement with respect to a transaction involving all or a controlling portion of the Company’s equity securities or all or substantially all of the Company’s assets or debt (whether by merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, recapitalization, restructuring, sale, liquidation, dissolution, equity issuance or other extraordinary transaction), in each case with a Person other than the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates.

7.9    Amendment of Proxy Statement; Stockholder Meeting.

(a)    As soon as reasonably practicable, and in any event within five Trading Days, following the date of this Agreement, the Company, at the direction of the Board, shall prepare and file with the Commission an amendment or supplement to the Company’s definitive proxy statement on Schedule 14A promulgated under the Exchange Act filed with the Commission on April 18, 2018 for its 2018 annual meeting of stockholders (the “Proxy Amendment,” and the proxy statement as so amended, the “Amended Proxy Statement”). The Proxy Amendment shall provide that (i) the Company’s 2018 annual stockholder meeting (as it may be adjourned or postponed, the “Stockholder Meeting”) that was announced in the Proxy Statement to be held on May 30, 2018 be postponed, at the direction of the Board and in accordance with Applicable Law, the Certificate of Incorporation, and Bylaws, to June 8, 2018, and (ii) the Company solicits from each holder of shares of Common Stock entitled to vote at the Stockholder Meeting (the “Stockholders”) such Stockholder’s affirmative vote on one or more proposals that, if approved by the Stockholders in accordance with the Company’s governing documents and, if applicable, Nasdaq rules would result in Approval having been obtained as of the date of such Stockholder approval (collectively, the “Proxy Proposal”). The Board shall recommend that the Stockholders vote in favor of the Approval and approve the Proxy Proposal (the “Stockholder Vote Recommendation”) and shall cause the Stockholder Vote Recommendation to be included in the Amended Proxy Statement. Unless this Agreement has been terminated pursuant to Section ‎8.1 or pursuant to the Board’s exercise of its fiduciary duties, as a result of an Intervening Event arising after the date hereof and before the Stockholder Meeting commences, the Board determines in good faith, after consulting with outside

legal counsel, that the failure to withdraw, modify or qualify the Stockholder Vote Recommendation would constitute a breach of its fiduciary duties, the Board shall not (i) withdraw, modify or qualify the Stockholder Vote Recommendation in any manner or publicly propose to do so or (ii) take any other actions that will, or could reasonably be expected to, impede, interfere with, delay, discourage, or adversely affect the Stockholder Vote Recommendation or the obtainment of the Approval. For the purposes of this Section ‎7.9, “Intervening Event” means any material change, event, development, condition, occurrence, or effect occurring or arising after the date hereof that was not known to, nor reasonably foreseeable by, the Board, as of or prior to the date hereof; provided, however, that in no event shall any change in the price, or change in trading volume, of the Common Stock constitute an Intervening Event.

(b)    Subject to Applicable Law, the Company shall cause the Amended Proxy Statement to be disseminated to the Stockholders as promptly as practicable, and in any event within five Trading Days following the earlier to occur of (i) the 10th calendar day after the filing of the Proxy Amendment with the Commission if the Commission or its staff has not indicated that it will review the Proxy Amendment, and (ii) confirmation from the Commission that it will not comment on, or that it has no additional comments on, the Proxy Amendment.

(c)    The Amended Proxy Statement shall include the notice of meeting in the form required by the Delaware General Corporation Law. The Purchaser shall promptly furnish to the Company all information concerning the Purchaser that may be required by Applicable Law or reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion in the Amended Proxy Statement. The Company shall cause the Amended Proxy Statement to comply in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Exchange Act, including Regulation 14A under the Exchange Act, and the rules of the Commission and the Trading Market. The Company represents that the information in the Amended Proxy Statement (excluding any information supplied in writing to the Company by or on behalf of Purchaser specifically for inclusion therein) is true, complete and accurate in all material respects. Purchaser represents that the information in the Amended Proxy Statement that was supplied in writing by it to the Company specifically for inclusion therein is true, complete and accurate in all material respects. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to respond promptly to any comments of the Commission or its staff with respect to the Proxy Amendment, and each of the Company and Purchaser agrees to promptly correct any information provided by it for use in the Amended Proxy Statement to the extent required by Applicable Law. If and to the extent any such comments of the Commission or correction of information included in the Amended Proxy Statement requires, under Applicable Law, a further amendment or supplement to the Amended Proxy Statement, then the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to take all steps necessary to amend or supplement the Amended Proxy Statement as so required and to cause the Amended Proxy Statement, as so amended or supplemented, to be filed with the Commission and to be disseminated to the Stockholders.

(d)    The Purchaser and its counsel shall be given reasonable opportunity to review and comment on the Proxy Proposal and, to the extent it relates to information about the Purchaser or its Affiliates, the Amended Proxy Statement before they are filed with the Commission. The Company shall advise Purchaser, promptly after it receives notice thereof, of any receipt of (i) a request by the Commission or its staff for an amendment or revisions to the Amended Proxy

Statement, or additional information in connection therewith, or (ii) comments from the Commission or its staff on the Amended Proxy Statement, and shall promptly provide Purchaser with copies of all written correspondence between the Company and its representatives, on the one hand, and the Commission or the staff thereof, on the other hand, with respect to the Proxy Proposal included in the Amended Proxy Statement, and as promptly as practicable provide Purchaser with a reasonably detailed description of any oral comments received from the Commission or its staff in connection therewith. The Company also shall provide Purchaser with copies of any written or oral comments or responses to be submitted by the Company in response to any comments or inquiries from the Commission or its staff related to the Proxy Proposal, and shall provide Purchaser a reasonable opportunity to participate in the formulation of any response to any such comments of the Commission or its staff. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to resolve all comments by the Commission with respect to the Amended Proxy Statement as promptly as practicable.

Any party shall be entitled, without incurring any liability, to terminate this Agreement with immediate effect if the performance of this Agreement is in any way restricted or prohibited by International Economic Sanctions applicable to it.
