 2.2 The Subscriber is acquiring the Shares for its own account and not with a view to any distribution of any of the Securities in violation of the Securities Act. The Subscriber understands that the current market price for the Common Stock of the Company does not have any bearing on the Company’s actual value, and that the same may decline precipitously once a market develops. Subscriber further acknowledges and understands that the terms of the Shares have not been reviewed or assessed by any independent party and were arbitrarily determined by the Company’s board in good faith. 
 2.3 Each Subscriber understands that an investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk and illiquidity, including, risk of loss of their entire investment. Each Subscriber represents that such Subscriber has been given full and complete access to the Company for the purpose of obtaining such information as such Subscriber or its qualified representative has reasonably requested in connection with the decision to purchase the Shares. Each Subscriber represents that such Subscriber has received and reviewed copies of the SEC reports of the Company and term sheet as well as copies of the exhibits hereto. Each Subscriber represents that such Subscriber has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the officers of the Company regarding its business prospects and the Shares, all as such Subscriber or such Subscriber’s qualified representative have found necessary to make an informed investment decision to purchase the Shares. Subscriber understands that if no market develops, that Subscriber will not be able to sell any of the Shares or other securities acquired by it. 
 The Subscriber acknowledges that it has significant prior investment experience, including investment in non-listed and non-registered securities, and that the Subscriber recognizes the highly speculative nature of this investment. In particular, and without limitation, the Subscriber represents that it understands that the Company’s securities have suffered significant illiquidity and that its current Common Stock price is not necessarily indicative of the Company’s value and that other restricted shareholders are eligible to sell securities pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.

 2.4 The subscriber understands and acknowledges that currently, an affiliate of the Company, is a control person that has acquired its shares at substantially lower prices and that, accordingly, Subscriber will suffer immediate and substantial dilution. 
 2.5 The Subscriber acknowledges that the Securities have not been passed upon or reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Subscriber agrees that it will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of the Shares until they are registered under the Securities Act, or unless an exemption from such registration is available and that a legend substantially in the form as provided in Section 4 below will be placed on the certificate(s) representing the shares to such effect;
 2.6 This Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement and obligation of the Subscriber enforceable against the Subscriber in accordance with its terms, subject to limitations on enforcement by general principles of equity and bankruptcy or other laws affecting the enforcement of creditors' rights generally; 
 2.7 Subscriber is not acquiring the Securities as part of a group, as such term is defined in Section 13 of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"), and is not acting in concert with any person acting in such manner. Subscriber makes its own voting and dispositive decisions and has not agreed to grant any proxy or enter into any form of voting trust, agreement or similar arrangement with respect to the Shares; 
 2.8 This Agreement has been duly authorized, validly executed and delivered on behalf of the Subscriber, and the Subscriber has full power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and the other agreements and documents contemplated hereby and to perform his obligations hereunder and thereunder; and
 2.9 Subscriber has not paid any finders fees, commissions or broker fees in connection with his/her/its investment herein and has not been solicited by means of any form of advertisement, public dissemination or solicitation.

This Agreement will be administered and interpreted in a manner consistent with this intent, and any provision that would cause this Agreement to fail to satisfy Section 409A of the Code will have no force and effect until amended to comply therewith (which amendment may be retroactive to the extent permitted by Section 409A of the Code).  The Company and the Participant agree to work together in good faith in an effort to comply with Section 409A of the Code including, if necessary, amending this Agreement based on further guidance issued by the Internal Revenue Service from time to time, provided that the Company shall not be required to assume any increased economic burden.  Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, to the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, the Participant shall not be considered to have terminated employment with Company for purposes of this Agreement and no payments shall be due to him or her under this Agreement which are payable upon his or her termination of employment until he or she would be considered to have incurred a “separation from service” from the Company within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code.  To the extent required in order to avoid accelerated taxation and/or tax penalties under Section 409A of the Code, amounts that would otherwise be payable and benefits that would otherwise be provided pursuant to this Agreement during the six-month period immediately following the Participant's termination of employment shall instead be paid within 30 days following the first business day after the date that is six months following his or her termination of employment (or upon his death, if earlier).  In addition, for purposes of this Agreement, each amount to be paid or benefit to be provided to the Participant pursuant to this Agreement shall be construed as a separate identified payment for purposes of Section 409A of the Code.  The Participant acknowledges and agrees that payments made under this Agreement are subject to the Company's requirement that the Participant reimburse the portion of any payment where such portion of the payment was predicated upon the achievement of financial

results that are subsequently the subject of a restatement caused or partially caused by the Participant's fraud or misconduct.

Exhibit A
Performance Goals
Start of Performance Period - End of Performance Period
The Performance Goals established by the Compensation Committee of the Company are based on the Company's relative three year total shareholder return (“TSR”) over the Performance Period measured against the Company's Peer Group.  The final value of Performance Units (based on $100 per Performance Unit) granted at the Maturity Date can range from 0% to 200% of the target value in accordance with the following chart, and will be paid in cash to each Participant:
	
					
	

	 
	Relative TSR Performance Goal
	 
	TSR Modifier

	 
	 
	 
	 
	 

	Below Threshold
	 
	Below 40th percentile
	 
	—%

	Threshold
	 
	40th percentile
	 
	50%

	Target
	 
	60th percentile
	 
	100%

	Maximum
	 
	80th percentile
	 
	200%

The Committee will interpolate all points between the Threshold and the Maximum Performance Goal.
TSR is calculated on the basis of the following formula:
End Average Stock Price plus Dividends  - Start Average Stock Price
TSR    =                          Start Average Stock Price

with the Start Average Stock Price being the average closing stock price for the first 30 trading days of calendar year 2013 and the End Average Stock Price being the average closing stock price for the 30 trading days immediately preceding the Maturity Date, as reported on the stock exchange on which such shares are listed.
