Repurchase Right Agreement

EXECUTION VERSION

Repurchase Right Agreement, dated as of May 27, 2011 (this “Agreement”), by and between PhotoMedex, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), and Perseus Partners VII, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (“Perseus,” and together with the Company, the “Parties”).

The Company and Perseus are parties to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 4, 2008 (as amended by Amendment No. 1, dated February 27, 2009, and Amendment No. 2, dated March 18, 2010, and as the same may be further amended, modified and supplemented from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”).  Capitalized terms used in this Agreement but not otherwise defined in this Agreement shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

As of the date of this Agreement Perseus, together with its former director appointees to the Board, holds: (i) secured convertible promissory notes having an aggregate principal amount of $21,447,590, together with interest thereon payable as specified therein, which notes are convertible into shares of the common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the “Company Common Stock”) (such secured convertible promissory notes, together with any additional secured convertible promissory notes issued as interest thereon, together with such additional interest as may be accrued on such existing and additional secured convertible promissory notes, the “Notes”); (ii) a warrant to purchase 301,288 shares of Company Common Stock (the “Warrant”); (iii) an option, held by a former director appointee of Perseus to the Board, to purchase 625 shares of Common Stock (the “Option”); and (iv) certain rights, held by former director appointees of Perseus to the Board, to receive shares of Common Stock in lieu of cash as consideration for service on the Board (“Service Share Rights”).  The Notes, the Warrant, the Option, the Service Share Rights and any shares of Company Common Stock issued upon conversion or exercise thereof are referred to collectively as the “Repurchase Securities”.

The Parties desire to enter into this Agreement pursuant to which the Company will have the right to repurchase all of the Repurchase Securities that are held by Perseus or any of its former director appointees to the Board, Affiliates, successors or assigns (the “Perseus Group”) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

In consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Perseus hereby agree as follows:

1.           Repurchase Right of the Company.  The Company shall have the right (the “Repurchase Right”), exercisable only as provided in Section 2 below, to repurchase all (but not less than all) of the Repurchase Securities, in connection with the completion of a Repurchase Transaction (as hereinafter defined in Section 6 of this Agreement), for an aggregate purchase

price equal to the Repurchase Price (as hereinafter defined in Section 6 of this Agreement) and upon the further terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

2.           Exercise of Repurchase Right.  The Company may exercise the Repurchase Right to repurchase the Repurchase Securities only in connection with, and up to three business days prior to or simultaneously with, the completion of a Repurchase Transaction.  The Repurchase Right shall terminate on the earliest of: (i) except with respect to a Repurchase Transaction described in clause (y) of the definition thereof, (A) the Company’s entering into a definitive agreement providing for a Change of Control or (B) any offer or proposal by a third party to enter into or consummate a transaction which would result in a Change of Control, which proposal is publicly recommended by the Board of Directors of the Company, (ii) the completion of a Repurchase Transaction unless the Repurchase Right has previously been or is simultaneously exercised and completed; or (iii) January 31, 2012 (the date on which the earliest of such events occurs, the “Repurchase Right Termination Date”).  For purposes of clarification, neither the Company’s entering into a definitive agreement providing for a Repurchase Transaction described in clause (y) of the definition thereof nor the public recommendation by the Company’s Board of Directors of a proposal for a Repurchase Transaction described in clause (y) of the definition thereof, shall, in itself, terminate the Company’s Repurchase Right.  To exercise the Repurchase Right the Company shall deliver a written notice of its election (an “Election Notice”) to exercise its Repurchase Right to Perseus, which notice shall (i) specify the existence of and include a reasonable description of the terms of the Repurchase Transaction that permits the Company to exercise its Repurchase Right, (ii) specify the date on which the repurchase contemplated by this Section 2 will be completed (the “Repurchase Right Exercise Date”), which date shall be simultaneously with, or up to three business days prior to, the completion of the applicable Repurchase Transaction, and (iii) be delivered not less than one business day prior to the Repurchase Right Exercise Date.  On the Repurchase Right Exercise Date specified in the Election Notice:

(a)           The Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the Repurchase Price to Perseus by wire transfer of immediately available funds to an account designated in writing to the Company by Perseus;

(b)           Perseus shall deliver to the Company all Repurchase Securities held by it or any other members of the Perseus Group, free and clear of any Liens, other than such Liens as may be imposed by federal or state securities laws, in consideration of the Repurchase Price;

(c)           Each of the Transaction Documents shall automatically terminate and any and all rights, liabilities, obligations and duties of each of the parties thereunder shall be of no further force or effect; provided, that the provisions in the last sentence of Section 5.5 of the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Surviving Provision”) shall survive such termination.  In furtherance of the foregoing, each member of the Perseus Group and the Company shall be deemed to have released all liabilities, obligations and duties of each of the other parties thereunder, other than the Surviving Provision, immediately following the effectuation of the Repurchase Right in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2; and

(d)           Effective on the Repurchase Right Exercise Date and subject to the effectuation of the Repurchase Right in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2, all Liens that encumber any of the properties, securities or other assets of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Transaction Documents, or as a result of any actions taken pursuant to the provisions of any of the Transaction Documents, will be hereby released and terminated.  In furtherance of the foregoing, Perseus shall deliver to the Company UCC-3 termination statements and notices to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office providing for the release and termination of any such Liens, and shall otherwise take all such additional actions as may be reasonably necessary to cause any such Liens to be released and terminated, to the full satisfaction of the Company, on or prior to the Repurchase Right Exercise Date.

3.           Restriction on Perseus and its Affiliates.  Until that date which is the earliest to occur of the Repurchase Right Termination Date or a termination of this Agreement upon the mutual agreement of the Parties, Perseus hereby agrees that it shall not, and it shall cause all other members of the Perseus Group not to: (i) sell, assign, pledge, hypothecate, encumber or otherwise transfer, whether or not for consideration, any of the Repurchase Securities and/or (ii) sell, assign or transfer any of their respective rights, claims, benefits or interests in, to and under the Transaction Documents.

4.           Further Assurances.

(a)           The Parties shall cooperate with each other and each shall use commercially reasonable efforts to take all action and to do all things necessary, proper, or advisable in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) effectuating the Repurchase Right of the Company and those obligations of the Parties set forth in Section 2 hereof, (ii) granting such Party’s consent or approval under the Transaction Documents to the execution by the Company of definitive agreements for a Repurchase Transaction and the consummation of a Repurchase Transaction (which consent or approval shall be expressly subject to the condition that the Repurchase Right is exercised and completed in accordance with the terms of Section 2, no later than the date of completion of such Repurchase Transaction) and (iii) subject to the prior receipt of a written undertaking of the Company to exercise and complete the Repurchase Right in accordance with the terms of Section 2 no later than the date of completion of the applicable Repurchase Transaction, voting all Repurchase Securities (to the extent entitled to vote thereon) in favor of the execution by the Company of definitive agreements for a Repurchase Transaction and the consummation of a Repurchase Transaction.  In addition, Perseus shall cause its controlled Affiliates to take all action and to do all things necessary, proper, or advisable in order to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, those actions described in the preceding sentence.

(b)           The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that any participant in a Repurchase Transaction with the Company shall be permitted by the Parties to file, and

shall not be prohibited by the Parties hereto from filing, liens created pursuant to such Repurchase Transaction with respect to the assets, rights and property of the Company, and any UCC financing statements, notices and other security interest filings necessary to perfect such liens, with any governmental authority, provided that such liens are junior and subordinate in right, priority, operation, effect and all other respects to any and all Liens and security interests in favor of the members of the Perseus Group and all such UCC financing statements, notices and other security interest filings shall reflect such junior and subordinate status.
