Capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meaning as set forth in the Exchange Agreement (as defined below).

WHEREAS, the Holder and the Company entered into that certain Exchange Agreement, dated April 7, 2015 (the “Exchange Agreement”), pursuant to which, among other things, (x) the Holder exchanged certain Warrants to Purchase Common Stock, issued by the Company on October 8, 2014 (the “October Warrants”) for (i) shares of Common Stock and (ii) the right to receive the Make-Whole Amount, if any.

WHEREAS, the reliance upon the representations made by the Holder and the Company in this Agreement, and the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Rule 506(b) of Regulation D (“Regulation D”) as promulgated by the Commission under the 1933 Act, the Company desires to sell, and the Holder desires to buy, 100,000 shares of Common Stock (the “Purchased Shares”) in exchange for the termination of any obligation of the Company to pay the Make-Whole Amount to the Holder (the “Payment Termination”).

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Company and the Holder hereby agree as follows:

Section 1. Issuance of Purchased Shares. Subject to and upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined below) the Company hereby agrees to sell and the Holder hereby agrees to purchase the Purchased Shares (the “Share Purchase”) and effect the Payment Termination. For the avoidance of doubt, the parties acknowledge and agree that, the purchase price of the Purchased Shares shall solely consist of the Payment Termination.

1.1 Closing. On the Closing Date, the Company will issue and deliver (or cause to be issued and delivered) a certificate evidencing the issuance of the Purchase Shares to the Holder (the “Certificate”), or in the name of a custodian or nominee of the Holder, or as otherwise requested by the Holder in writing. The closing of the Share Purchase and the Payment Termination shall occur on such date as the parties may mutually agree in writing (the “Closing Date”), subject to the provisions of Section 5 and Section 6 herein.

1.2 Legends. The Holder understands that, after the Closing Date, the Purchase Shares will have been issued pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth below, the Purchase Shares shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.

1.3 Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing the Purchase Shares shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 1.2 above or any other legend (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of the Purchase Shares is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of the Purchase Shares pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (“Rule 144”) (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), (iii) if the Purchase Shares are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred without limitation under Rule 144 (provided that the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Purchase Shares are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall not include an opinion of the Holder’s counsel), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that the Holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to the Holder, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of the Purchase Shares may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the Commission). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than three (3) Trading Days (or such earlier date as required pursuant to the Exchange Act or other applicable law, rule or regulation for the settlement of a trade initiated on the date the Holder delivers such legended certificate representing the Purchase Shares to the Company) following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing the Purchase Shares (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from the Holder as may be required above in this Section 1.3, as directed by the Holder, either: (A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and the Purchase Shares are eligible to be resold pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the Holder, a certificate representing the Purchase Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee (the date by which such credit is so required to be made to the balance account of the Holder’s or the Holder’s designee with DTC or such certificate is required to be delivered to the Holder pursuant to the foregoing is referred to herein as the “Required Delivery Date”, and the date such shares of Common Stock are actually delivered without restrictive legend to the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC, as applicable, the “Share Delivery Date”). The Company shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Securities or the removal of any legends with respect to any Securities in accordance herewith.

1.4 Failure to Timely Deliver; Buy-In. If the Company fails, for any reason or for no reason, to issue and deliver (or cause to be delivered) to the Holder (or its designee) by the Required Delivery Date, if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, a certificate for the number of Purchase Shares to which the Holder is entitled and register such Purchase Shares on the Company’s share register or, if the Transfer Agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, to credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC for such number of Purchase Shares submitted for legend removal by the Holder pursuant to Section 1.3 above (a “Delivery Failure”), and if on or after such Trading Day the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of shares of Common Stock submitted for legend removal by the Holder pursuant to Section 1.3 above that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall, within three (3) Trading Days after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased) (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so deliver such certificate or credit the Holder’s balance account shall terminate and such shares shall be cancelled, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to so deliver to the Holder a certificate or certificates or credit the balance account of the Holder or the Holder’s designee with DTC representing such number of shares of Common Stock that would have been so delivered if the Company timely complied with its obligations hereunder and pay cash to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of Purchase Shares that the Company was required to deliver to the Holder by the Required Delivery Date multiplied by (B) the lowest Closing Sale Price (as defined in the Warrants) of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date of the delivery by the Holder to the Company of the applicable Purchase Shares and ending on the date of such delivery and payment under this clause (ii). Nothing shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue any other remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity, including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief with respect to the Company’s failure to timely deliver certificates representing shares of Common Stock (or to electronically deliver such shares of Common Stock) as required pursuant to the terms hereof.
