NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the representations, warranties, and covenants contained herein, and of other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Purchase of Shares from Seller. Subject to and upon the terms of this Agreement, on the date hereof (the “Closing Date”, with the purchase and sale of the Shares and the transactions contemplated hereby referred to as the “Closing”), Seller will sell, transfer, and assign all of its right, title and interest in the Shares to Buyer, in consideration for the payment by Buyer of the Purchase Price (as defined in Section 2).

There is no litigation pending or threatened against Seller that would impair the execution, delivery, and performance by Seller of this Agreement and the consummation by Seller of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Following the consummation of the Offer (as defined below), Seller agrees (i) to the extent that the Stockholders Agreement has not terminated by its own terms, to take such steps as may be necessary in order promptly to cause its termination with no further liability or obligation of the Company, and (ii) not to exercise any additional demand rights under the Registration Rights Agreement.

(b) Tender Offer. Seller hereby covenants and agrees with Buyer that Seller shall properly tender and not withdraw all of the remaining Shares of Common Stock (after giving effect to the Closing) that it directly and/or beneficially owns in the Offer (as described below).

(c) Further Assurances. Each party agrees to execute and deliver any instruments and to perform any acts that may be necessary or reasonably requested in order to give full effect to this Agreement. The parties agree and acknowledge that in no event will Buyer be required to participate in the Offer as a bidder or offeror.

7. Put Right.

(a) Upon the occurrence of the Put Trigger (defined below), and for a period of thirty (30) days thereafter, Buyer shall have the right (the “Put Right”), but not the obligation, to cause Seller to repurchase all, but not less than all, of the Shares at the Purchase Price. For purposes of this Section 7, the “Put Trigger” shall occur if (i) the Company fails for any reason to commence a tender offer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Offer”), for at least 27 million of its outstanding shares of Common Stock at a price of $1.20 per share (the “Tender Price”) within ten (10) business days after the Closing Date, or (ii) having commenced the Offer, the Company for any reason withdraws or terminates the Offer without having purchased the shares of Common Stock tendered pursuant thereto at the Tender Price on the terms outlined in the Offer (other than shares not purchased pursuant to the proration procedures outlined in the Offer), or (iii) the Company for any reason has not completed the Offer (and purchased the shares tendered pursuant thereto, other than due to the proration procedures in the Offer, at the Tender Price) on the terms outlined therein by November 15, 2014 such that Buyer owns a majority of the Common Stock of the Company then outstanding.

(b) If Buyer desires to sell the Shares pursuant to Section 7(a), Buyer shall deliver to Seller a written notice (the “Put Exercise Notice”) exercising the Put Right. By delivering the Put Exercise Notice, Buyer represents and warrants to Seller that, at the time of such notice and at the time the Put Right is settled, (i) Buyer has and will have good and marketable title to the Shares, free and clear of any and all Liens other than Liens caused or incurred by Seller, and (ii) Buyer has the full right, power and authority to convey and sell the Shares pursuant to the Put Right hereunder, and upon consummation of the exercise of the Put Right, Seller will acquire from Buyer good and marketable title to the Shares, free and clear of all Liens other than Liens caused or incurred by Seller.

(c) The closing of any sale of Shares pursuant to this Section 7 shall take place no later than 5 business days following receipt by Seller of the Put Exercise Notice. For the avoidance of doubt, a Put Exercise Notice delivered within the thirty (30) day period described in Section 7(a) shall be valid even if the closing of the sale of Shares thereunder occurs after the expiration of such period. Seller shall give Buyer at least three (3) business days’ written notice of the date of closing (the “Put Right Closing Date”).

(d) Seller will pay the Purchase Price for the Shares by wire transfer of immediately available funds on the Put Right Closing Date.

(e) Seller and Buyer shall each take all actions as may be reasonably necessary to consummate the sale contemplated by this Section 7 including, without limitation, entering into agreements and delivering certificates and instruments as may be deemed necessary or appropriate.

(f) At the closing of any sale and purchase pursuant to this Section 7, Buyer shall deliver to Seller a certificate or certificates representing the Shares to be sold (if any), accompanied by stock powers, against receipt of the Purchase Price.

(g) Seller shall not distribute, transfer, pledge, encumber or otherwise subject to any Lien any portion of the Purchase Price until such time as the Put Right may no longer be exercised pursuant to Section 7(a) above.

(h) Seller will not avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the provisions to be observed or performed by it under Section 6 or Section 7, but will at all times in good faith carry out of all the provisions of Section 6 and Section 7 and will take all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to permit and facilitate any valid exercise by Buyer of the Put Right.

8. Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflict of law principles that would result in the application of any law other than the laws of the State of Delaware. The parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of the state and federal courts situated within the State of Delaware.

9. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and all agreements and instruments to be delivered by the parties pursuant hereto represent the entire understanding and agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior oral and written and all contemporaneous oral negotiations, commitments and understandings between such parties. The representations and warranties contained in Sections 4 and 5 constitute all of the representations and warranties of such parties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for this Agreement, Buyer hereby represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that it has not relied upon any information, representations, or warranties of Seller with respect to the Shares or the Transaction. Buyer waives any right it may have against Seller with respect to any omission of any kind on the part of Seller of any potentially material information.

10. Amendments and Waivers. Any term of this Agreement may be amended and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of both parties hereto. No waivers of or exceptions to any term, condition or provision of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such term, condition or provision.

11. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated at any time prior to the Closing by the mutual written consent of both Buyer and Seller. This Agreement will terminate automatically, and shall become void and have no further effect, in the event that the Closing has not occurred by December 31, 2014.

12. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which shall constitute the same instrument.

13. Section Headings. The section headings are for the convenience of the parties and in no way alter, modify, amend, limit or restrict the contractual obligations of the parties.

14. Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Agreement.
