Lock-Up Agreements

In connection with the Mergers, on the Closing Date, the Issuer, Selling Source, the NYPG Holder, and certain other holders and pledgees of the Common Stock of the Issuer entered into Lock-up Agreements (the “Lock-up Agreements”), pursuant to which each of such parties agreed, subject to certain exceptions, not to 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 any of their shares of Common Stock of the Issuer, without the prior written consent of the Issuer, for 12 months after the Closing Date.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the Mergers, on the Closing Date, the Issuer entered into a Registration Rights Agreement (the “Registration Rights Agreement”) with the Signing Holders, which requires, among other things, from time to time, upon the demand of the Signing Holders holding at least 30% of the shares issued in the Mergers, Ascend, subject to the terms and conditions under the Registration Rights Agreement, to use its best efforts to register for public sale the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer acquired by the Signing Holders as consideration in the Mergers.

Subject to certain limitations, the Registration Rights Agreement also provides the Signing Holders with certain piggyback registration rights for underwritten public offerings that Ascend may effect for its own account or for the benefit of other selling stockholders.

Escrow Agreement

In connection with the Mergers, on the Closing Date, to provide for the indemnification obligations of Ascend, Selling Source and the NYPG Holder, Ascend, Continental Stock Transfer and Trust Company and representatives of each of Selling Source, the NYPG Holder and Ascend entered into an escrow agreement, pursuant to which an aggregate amount of shares equal to ten percent (10%) of the Ascend Common Stock (the “Escrow Shares”) received by Selling Source and the NYPG Holder at closing was deposited in escrow. The Escrow Shares will be released on the 5th business day after Ascend is required to file its Annual Report on Form 10-K with the SEC for the year ending December 31, 2013, less any amount of shares due in satisfaction of, or reserved with respect to, indemnification claims by the parties.

Voting Rights Agreement

In connection with the Mergers, on the Closing Date, Selling Source and the NYPG Holder entered into the Voting Rights Agreement, which requires, among other things, that if Selling Source exercises its right to nominate individuals to serve on Ascend’s board of directors, the NYPG Holder

The Voting Rights Agreement and all rights and obligations of the parties thereunder shall terminate upon Selling Source ceasing to be the beneficial or record owner of more than 30% of the shares of Common Stock of the Issuer received in connection with the Mergers or if the NYPG Holder ceases to be employed as the Chief Executive Officer of Ascend.
