2.           Registration.    

 

(a)          Initial
Mandatory Registration.      The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Initial
Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Initial Registrable
Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available
for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of
Section 2(e). The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares
of Common Stock equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined as of the date the Initial Registration Statement
is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). The Initial Registration Statement shall contain
(except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the “Plan of Distribution” and “Selling Shareholders”
sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B.     The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have
the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Initial
Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Initial Effective Date, the Company shall
file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant
to such Initial Registration Statement.

 

(b)          Additional
Mandatory Registrations.      The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional
Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Additional
Registrable Securities not previously registered on an Additional Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff of
the SEC does not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the
Company shall file Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement
the maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered
with the SEC. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available
for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of
Section 2(e). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of
shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration
Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). Each Additional Registration
Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the “Plan of Distribution” and
“Selling Shareholders” sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall
use its reasonable best efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable,
but in no event later than the Additional Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the
Additional Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to
be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Additional Registration Statement.

 

(c)          Allocation
of Registrable Securities.      The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and
any increase or decrease in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors
based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time the Registration Statement covering such initial
number of Registrable Securities or increase or decrease thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor
sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee shall be allocated a pro rata portion
of the then remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor. Any shares
of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable
Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of
Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement. In no event shall the Company
include any securities other than Registrable Securities on any Registration Statement without the prior written consent of the
Required Holders.

 

(d)          Legal
Counsel.      Subject to Section 5 hereof, the Lead Investor shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review
and oversee any registration pursuant to this Section 2 (“Legal Counsel”), which shall be Greenberg Traurig
LLP or such other counsel as thereafter designated by the Lead Investor. The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate
with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.

 

(e)          Ineligibility
for Form S-3.      In the event that Form S-3 is not available for the registration of the resale of Registrable Securities
hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the resale of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or another appropriate form reasonably
acceptable to the Required Holders and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is
available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time
as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

 

(f)           Sufficient
Number of Shares Registered.      In the event the number of shares available under a Registration Statement filed pursuant
to Section 2(a) or Section 2(b) is insufficient to cover the Required Registration Amount of Registrable Securities required to
be covered by such Registration Statement or an Investor’s allocated portion of the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section
2(c), the Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available
therefor, if applicable), or both, so as to cover at least the Required Registration Amount as of the Trading Day immediately preceding
the date of the filing of such amendment or new Registration Statement, in each case, as soon as practicable, but in any event
not later than fifteen (15) days after the necessity therefor arises. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause
such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof. For purposes
of the foregoing provision, the number of shares available under a Registration Statement shall be deemed “insufficient to
cover all of the

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

Registrable Securities” if at any time
the number of shares of Common Stock available for resale under the Registration Statement is less than the Required Registration
Amount. The calculation set forth in the foregoing sentence shall be made without regard to any limitations on the conversion,
amortization and/or redemption of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants and such calculation shall assume (i) that the Notes are
then convertible in full into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Conversion Rate (as defined in the Notes) (ii) the
initial outstanding principal amount of the Notes remains outstanding through the scheduled Maturity Date (as defined in the Notes)
and no redemptions of the Notes occur prior to the scheduled Maturity Date and (iii) the Warrants are then exercisable in full
into shares of Common Stock at the then prevailing Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrants).

 

(g)          Effect
of Failure to File and Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement.      If (i) the Initial Registration
Statement when declared effective fails to register the Initial Required Registration Amount of Initial Registrable Securities
(a “Registration Failure”), (ii) a Registration
Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered thereby and required to be filed by the Company pursuant
to this Agreement is (A) not filed with the SEC on or before the applicable Filing Deadline (a “Filing Failure”)
or (B) not declared effective by the SEC on or before the applicable Effectiveness Deadline, (an “Effectiveness Failure”),
(iii) on any day after the applicable Effective Date, sales of all of the Registrable Securities required to be included on such
Registration Statement cannot be made (other than during an Allowable Grace Period (as defined in Section 3(r))) pursuant to such
Registration Statement or otherwise (including, without limitation, because of the suspension of trading or any other limitation
imposed by an Eligible Market, a failure to keep such Registration Statement effective, a failure to disclose such information
as is necessary for sales to be made pursuant to such Registration Statement, a failure to register a sufficient number of shares
of Common Stock or a failure to maintain the listing of the Common Stock) (a “Maintenance Failure”)
or (iv) if a Registration Statement is not effective for any reason or the prospectus contained therein is not available for use
for any reason, the Company fails to file with the SEC any required reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act such that
it is not in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or Rule 144(i)(2), if applicable) (a “Current Public Information Failure”)
as a result of which any of the Investors are unable to sell Registrable Securities without restriction under Rule 144 (including,
without limitation, volume restrictions) then, as partial relief for the damages to any holder by reason of any such delay in or
reduction of its ability to sell the underlying shares of Common Stock (which remedy shall not be exclusive of any other remedies
available at law or in equity, including, without limitation, specific performance or the additional obligation of the Company
to register any Cutback Shares), the Company shall pay to each holder of Registrable Securities relating to such Registration Statement
an amount in cash equal to (x) one percent (1.0%) of the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreement) of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, whether or not included in such Registration Statement, on each of the following
dates: (i) the day of a Registration Failure, (ii) the day of a Filing Failure; (iii) the day of an Effectiveness Failure; (iv)
the initial day of a Maintenance Failure; (v) the initial day of a Current Public Information Failure and (y) two percent (2.0%)
of the aggregate Purchase Price (as such term is defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) of such Investor’s Registrable Securities,
whether or not included in such Registration Statement, on each of the following dates: (i) on the thirtieth day after the date
of a Registration Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such
Registration Failure is cured; (ii) on the 

 

    	7

    	 

    

 

thirtieth
day after the date of a Filing Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days)
until such Filing Failure is cured; (iii) on the thirtieth day after the date of an Effectiveness Failure and every thirtieth day
thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Effectiveness Failure is cured; (iv) on the thirtieth
day after the initial date of a Maintenance Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than
thirty days) until such Maintenance Failure is cured; and (v) on the thirtieth day after the initial date of a Public Information
Failure and every thirtieth day thereafter (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) until such Public Information
Failure is cured. The payments to which a holder shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 2(g) are referred to herein as “Registration
Delay Payments.” Registration Delay Payments shall be paid on the earlier of (I) the dates
set forth above and (II) the third Business Day after the event or failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured.
In the event the Company fails to make Registration Delay Payments in a timely manner, such Registration Delay Payments shall bear
interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained herein, (i) Registration Delay Payments shall cease to accrue when all of the Registrable Securities
may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restrictions or limitations, (ii) in no event shall the aggregate amount of all Registration
Delay Payments (without regard to any accrued interest thereon in accordance with the preceding sentence) paid to an Investor exceed
an amount equal to 10% of such Investor’s original principal amount stated in such Investor’s Note on the Closing Date,
(iii) no single event or failure shall give rise to more than one type of Registration Delay Payment or (iv) if an Investor would
be required to be named as an “underwriter” in the Registration Statement by the SEC and such Investor elects, pursuant
to Section 3(s) below not to include any Registrable Securities of such Investor in the Registration Statement, no Registration
Delay Payments shall accrue with respect to such Registrable Securities of such Investor.

 

3.            Related
Obligations.    

 

At such time as the Company
is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 2(a), 2(b), 2(e) or 2(f), the Company will use its
reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition
thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations:

 

(a)          The
Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities and use
its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as
soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the Effectiveness Deadline). The Company shall keep each Registration
Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investors may sell all
of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 and
without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) (or any successor thereto) promulgated under the 1933 Act or (ii)
the date on which the Investors shall have sold all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement (the “Registration
Period”). The Company shall ensure that each Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto
and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact
required to be stated therein, or

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

necessary to make the statements therein (in
the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. The term “reasonable
best efforts” shall mean, among other things, that the Company shall submit to the SEC, within two (2) Business Days after
the later of the date that (i) the Company learns that no review of a particular Registration Statement will be made by the staff
of the SEC or that the staff has no further comments on a particular Registration Statement, as the case may be, and (ii) the approval
of Legal Counsel pursuant to Section 3(c) (which approval is immediately sought), a request for acceleration of effectiveness of
such Registration Statement to a time and date not later than two (2) Business Days after the submission of such request. The Company
shall respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of a Registration Statement as soon as practicable, but in no event
later than fifteen (15) days after the receipt of comments by or notice from the SEC that an amendment is required in order for
a Registration Statement to be declared effective.

 

(b)          The
Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration
Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule
424 promulgated under the 1933 Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration
Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable
Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have
been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration
Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this
Agreement (including pursuant to this Section 3(b)) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K
or any analogous report under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), the Company
shall have incorporated such report by reference into such Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments
or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the 1934 Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company
to amend or supplement such Registration Statement.

 

(c)          The
Company shall (A) permit Legal Counsel to review and comment upon (i) a Registration Statement at least five (5) Business Days
prior to its filing with the SEC and (ii) all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements (except for Annual Reports
on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Current Reports on Form 8-K, and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable
number of days prior to their filing with the SEC, and (B) not file any Registration Statement or amendment or supplement thereto
in a form to which Legal Counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall not submit a request for acceleration of the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement or any amendment or supplement thereto without the prior approval of Legal Counsel, which consent shall
not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall furnish to Legal Counsel, without charge, (i) copies of any correspondence from
the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, (ii) promptly after
the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial
statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor, and all exhibits and (iii)
upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all
amendments and supplements

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate
with Legal Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to this Section 3.

 

(d)          The
Company shall furnish to each Investor whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge,
(i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s)
thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by an Investor,
all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the
prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as
such Investor may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus,
as such Investor may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities
owned by such Investor; provided, that any such item which is available on the SEC’s EDGAR System (or successor thereto)
need not be furnished in physical form.

 

(e)          The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to (i) register and qualify, unless an exemption from registration and qualification
applies, the resale by Investors of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under such other securities
or “blue sky” laws of all applicable jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions
such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary
to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain
such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably
necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided, however, that the Company
shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where
it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 3(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction,
or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify Legal Counsel and
each Investor who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension
of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky”
laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threatening of any proceeding
for such purpose.

 

(f)          The
Company shall notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing of the happening of any event, as promptly as practicable after
becoming aware of such event, as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes
an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make
the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading (provided that in no event
shall such notice contain any material, nonpublic information), and, subject to Section 3(r), promptly prepare a supplement or
amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement
or amendment to Legal Counsel and each Investor (or such other number of copies as Legal Counsel or such Investor may reasonably
request). The Company shall also promptly notify Legal Counsel and each Investor in writing (i) when a

 

    	10

    	 

    

 

prospectus or any prospectus supplement or
post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective
(notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to Legal Counsel and each Investor by facsimile or email on the same day
of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement
or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment
to a Registration Statement would be appropriate. By 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the date following the date any post-effective
amendment has become effective, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus
to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Registration Statement.

 

(g)          The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of
a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction
and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment
and to notify Legal Counsel and each Investor who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the
resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(h)          If
any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an
Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, at the reasonable request
of such Investor, the Company shall furnish to such Investor, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and
thereafter from time to time on such dates as an Investor may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s
independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants
to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of
counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given
in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Investors.

 

(i)          If
any Investor is required under applicable securities laws to be described in the Registration Statement as an underwriter or an
Investor believes that it could reasonably be deemed to be an underwriter of Registrable Securities, the Company shall make available
for inspection by (i) such Investor, (ii) Legal Counsel and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by the Investors
(collectively, the “Inspectors”), all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents
and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”), as shall be reasonably deemed necessary by each
Inspector, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably
request; provided, however, that each Inspector shall agree to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except
to an Investor) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of
which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct
a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the 1933 Act, (b) the release of such Records
is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or
(c) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the

 

    	11

    	 

    

 

public other than by disclosure
in violation of this Agreement. Each Investor agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in
or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow
the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the
Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and any Investor) shall
be deemed to limit the Investors’ ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable
laws and regulations.

 

(j)          The
Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning an Investor provided to the Company unless
(i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws, (ii) the disclosure of such information
is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information
is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction,
or (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Agreement
or any other agreement. The Company agrees that it shall, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning an Investor
is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to
such Investor and allow such Investor, at the Investor’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or
to obtain a protective order for, such information.

 

(k)          The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts either to (i) cause all of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement
to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed,
if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange or (ii) secure the inclusion
for quotation of all of the Registrable Securities on The Principal Market or (iii) if, despite the Company’s reasonable best efforts,
the Company is unsuccessful in satisfying the preceding clauses (i) and (ii), to secure the inclusion for quotation on another
Eligible Market for such Registrable Securities and, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, to use its reasonable best
efforts to arrange for at least two market makers to register with the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”)
as such with respect to such Registrable Securities. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying
its obligation under this Section 3(k).

 

(l)          The
Company shall cooperate with the Investors who hold Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, facilitate
the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities
to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the
case may be, as the Investors may reasonably request and registered in such names as the Investors may request.

 

(m)          If
requested by an Investor, the Company shall as soon as practicable (i) incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment such information as an Investor reasonably requests to be included therein relating to the sale and distribution of Registrable
Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold,
the purchase price being paid therefor

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

and any other terms of the offering of the
Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective
amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and
(iii) supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by an Investor holding any Registrable
Securities.

 

(n)          The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be registered
with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable
Securities.

 

(o)          The
Company shall make generally available to its security holders as soon as practical, but not later than ninety (90) days after
the close of the period covered thereby, an earnings statement (in form complying with, and in the manner provided by, the provisions
of Rule 158 under the 1933 Act) covering a twelve-month period beginning not later than the first day of the Company’s fiscal quarter
next following the applicable Effective Date of a Registration Statement.

 

(p)          The
Company shall otherwise use its reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection
with any registration hereunder.

 

(q)          Within
two (2) Business Days after a Registration Statement which covers Registrable Securities is ordered effective by the SEC, the Company
shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel for the Company to deliver, to the transfer agent for such Registrable Securities
(with copies to the Investors whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement) confirmation that such
Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.    

 

(r)          Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary herein, at any time after the Effective Date, the Company may delay the disclosure of material, non-public
information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board of Directors
of the Company and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required
(a “Grace Period”); provided, that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Investors in writing of the existence
of material, non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the
content of such material, non-public information to the Investors) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii)
notify the Investors in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further, that no Grace Period shall exceed
ten (10) consecutive Trading Days and during any three hundred sixty five (365) day period such Grace Periods shall not exceed
an aggregate of thirty (30) Trading Days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) Trading Days after the
last day of any prior Grace Period (each, an “Allowable Grace Period”). For purposes of determining the length
of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause
(i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Investors receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date
referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 3(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace
Period. Upon

 

    	13

    	 

    

 

expiration of the Grace Period, the Company
shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 3(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material,
non-public information is no longer applicable. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer
agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities
Purchase Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract
for sale, prior to the Investor’s receipt of the notice of a Grace Period and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

(s)          Neither
the Company nor any Subsidiary or affiliate thereof shall identify any Investor as an “underwriter” in any public disclosure
or filing with the SEC, the Principal Market or any Eligible Market without the prior written consent of such Investor (it being
understood, that if the Company is required to name such Investor as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement
by the SEC (after a good faith discussion with the SEC to lift such requirement, including, without limitation, any reduction in
the number of Registrable Securities of such Investor to be registered on such Registration Statement (to the extent necessary
to lift such requirement)), such Investor shall have the option of electing to exclude all such Registrable Securities from such
Registration Statement or to be named as an “underwriter” in such Registration Statement”); provided,
however, that the foregoing shall not prohibit the Company from including the disclosure found in the “Plan of Distribution”
section attached hereto as Exhibit B in the Registration Statement.

 

(t)          Neither
the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on
or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities, that would have the effect of impairing
the rights granted to the Buyers in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof.

 

4.            Obligations
of the Investors.

 

(a)          At
least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated Filing Date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each
Investor in writing of the information the Company requires from each such Investor if such Investor elects to have any of such
Investor’s Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations
of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular
Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by
it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect and
maintain the effectiveness of the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with
such registration as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(b)          Each
Investor, by such Investor’s acceptance of the Registrable Securities, agrees to cooperate with the Company as reasonably requested
by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has
notified the Company in writing of such Investor’s election to exclude all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities from such
Registration Statement.

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

(c)          Each
Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section
3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f), such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to
any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Investor’s receipt of copies of the supplemented
or amended prospectus as contemplated by Section 3(g) or the first sentence of 3(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or
amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended
shares of Common Stock to a transferee of an Investor in accordance with the terms of the Securities Purchase Agreement in connection
with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which an Investor has entered into a contract for sale prior to the Investor’s
receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3(g) or the first sentence
of 3(f) and for which the Investor has not yet settled.

 

(d)          Each
Investor covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the 1933 Act as applicable to it
or an exemption therefrom in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

5.            Expenses
of Registration.

 

All reasonable expenses,
other than underwriting discounts and commissions, incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant
to Sections 2 and 3, including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting
fees, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall also reimburse the
Investors for the fees and disbursements of Legal Counsel in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to
Sections 2 and 3 of this Agreement which amount shall be limited to $10,000 for each such registration, filing or qualification.

 

6.            Indemnification.    

 

In the event any Registrable
Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Agreement:

 

(a)          To
the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company will, and hereby does, indemnify, hold harmless and defend each Investor, the
directors, officers, partners, members, employees, agents, representatives of, and each Person, if any, who controls any Investor
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Person”), against any losses, claims,
damages, liabilities, judgments, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses,
joint or several (collectively, “Claims”), incurred in investigating, preparing or defending any action, claim,
suit, inquiry, proceeding, investigation or appeal taken from the foregoing by or before any court or governmental, administrative
or other regulatory agency, body or the SEC, whether pending or threatened, whether or not an indemnified party is or may be a
party thereto (“Indemnified Damages”), to which any of them may become subject insofar as such Claims (or actions
or proceedings, whether commenced or threatened, in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement of a material fact in a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment thereto or in any filing
made in connection with the

 

    	15

    	 

    

 

qualification of the offering under the securities
or other “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in which Registrable Securities are offered (“Blue Sky Filing”),
or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements
therein not misleading, (ii) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus
if used prior to the effective date of such Registration Statement, or contained in the final prospectus (as amended or supplemented,
if the Company files any amendment thereof or supplement thereto with the SEC) or the omission or alleged omission to state therein
any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which the statements therein
were made, not misleading, (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any other law,
including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of
the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement or (iv) any violation of this Agreement (the matters in the foregoing
clauses (i) through (iv) being, collectively, “Violations”). Subject to Section 6(c), the Company shall reimburse
the Indemnified Persons, promptly as such expenses are incurred and are due and payable, for any legal fees or other reasonable
expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
contained herein, the indemnification agreement contained in this Section 6(a): (i) shall not apply to a Claim by an Indemnified
Person arising out of or based upon a Violation which occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with information furnished in writing
to the Company by such Indemnified Person for such Indemnified Person expressly for use in connection with the preparation of the
Registration Statement or any such amendment thereof or supplement thereto, if such prospectus was timely made available by the
Company pursuant to Section 3(d); and (ii) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected
without the prior written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such indemnity shall
remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Indemnified Person and shall survive
the transfer of any of the Registrable Securities by any of the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

 

(b)          In
connection with any Registration Statement in which an Investor is participating, each such Investor agrees to severally and not
jointly indemnify, hold harmless and defend, to the same extent and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 6(a), the Company,
each of its directors, each of its officers who signs the Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company
within the meaning of the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act (each, an “Indemnified Party”), against any Claim or Indemnified
Damages to which any of them may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act or otherwise, insofar as such Claim or Indemnified
Damages arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent, and only to the extent, that such Violation occurs
in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Investor expressly for use in connection
with such Registration Statement; and, subject to Section 6(c), such Investor shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for any legal
or other expenses reasonably incurred by an Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim; provided,
however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) and the agreement with respect to contribution contained in
Section 7 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any Claim if such settlement is effected without the prior written consent
of such Investor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, further, however, that the Investor shall
be liable under this Section 6(b) for only that amount of a Claim or Indemnified Damages as

 

    	16

    	 

    

 

does not exceed the net proceeds to such Investor
as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Such indemnity shall remain in full
force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Indemnified Party and shall survive the transfer
of the Registrable Securities by the Investors pursuant to Section 9.

 

(c)          Promptly
after receipt by an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6 of notice of the commencement of any action or
proceeding (including any governmental action or proceeding) involving a Claim, such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall,
if a Claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 6, deliver to the indemnifying party
a written notice of the commencement thereof, and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent
the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume control of the defense
thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the indemnifying party and the Indemnified Person or the Indemnified Party, as the
case may be; provided, however, that an Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel
with the fees and expenses of not more than one counsel for all such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party to be paid by the
indemnifying party, if, in the reasonable opinion of counsel retained by the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party, as applicable,
the representation by such counsel of the Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and the indemnifying party would be inappropriate
due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party and any other party represented
by such counsel in such proceeding. In the case of an Indemnified Person, legal counsel referred to in the immediately preceding
sentence shall be selected by the Investors holding at least a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities included in the
Registration Statement to which the Claim relates. The Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person shall reasonably cooperate with
the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or Claim by the indemnifying party and
shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person which
relates to such action or Claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person fully apprised at
all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. No indemnifying party shall be liable
for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent, provided, however, that the indemnifying
party shall not unreasonably withhold, delay or condition its consent. No indemnifying party shall, without the prior written consent
of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement or other compromise
which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party or Indemnified
Person of a release from all liability in respect to such Claim or litigation and such settlement shall not include any admission
as to fault on the part of the Indemnified Party. Following indemnification as provided for hereunder, the indemnifying party shall
be subrogated to all rights of the Indemnified Party or Indemnified Person with respect to all third parties, firms or corporations
relating to the matter for which indemnification has been made. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party
within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action shall not relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the
Indemnified Person or Indemnified Party under this Section 6, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is prejudiced in
its ability to defend such action.

 

    	17

    	 

    

 

(d)          The
indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation
or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Damages are incurred.

 

(e)          The
indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar right of the Indemnified Party
or Indemnified Person against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject
to pursuant to the law.

 

7.             Contribution.    

 

To the extent any indemnification
by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect
to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable under Section 6 to the fullest extent permitted by law; provided, however,
that: (i) no Person involved in the sale of Registrable Securities which Person is guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within
the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) in connection with such sale shall be entitled to contribution from any Person involved
in such sale of Registrable Securities who was not guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation; and (ii) contribution by any seller
of Registrable Securities shall be limited in amount to the amount of net proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such
Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 7, no Investor shall
be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by
such Investor from the applicable sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Claim exceeds the amount of any damages that
such Investor has otherwise been required to pay, or would otherwise be required to pay under Section 6(b), by reason of such untrue
or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

8.            Reports
Under the 1934 Act.    

 

With a view to making available
to the Investors the benefits of Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act or any other similar rule or regulation of the SEC that
may at any time permit the Investors to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration (“Rule 144”),
the Company agrees to:

 

(a)          make
and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

 

(b)          file
with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act so
long as the Company remains subject to such requirements and the filing of such reports and other documents is required for the
applicable provisions of Rule 144; and

 

(c)          furnish
to each Investor so long as such Investor owns Registrable Securities, promptly upon request, (i) a written statement by the Company,
if true, that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (ii) a copy of the most
recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other
information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Investors to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

 

    	18

    	 

    

 

9.             Assignment
of Registration Rights.    

 

The rights under this Agreement
shall be automatically assignable by the Investors to any transferee of all or any portion of such Investor’s Registrable Securities
if: (i) the Investor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such agreement is furnished
to the Company within a reasonable time after such assignment; (ii) the Company is, within a reasonable time after such transfer
or assignment, furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee or assignee, and (b) the securities
with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; (iii) immediately following such transfer or
assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the 1933 Act or applicable
state securities laws; (iv) at or before the time the Company receives the written notice contemplated by clause (ii) of this sentence
the transferee or assignee agrees in writing with the Company to be bound by all of the provisions contained herein; and (v) such
transfer shall have been made in accordance with the applicable requirements of the Securities Purchase Agreement.

 

10.          Amendment
of Registration Rights.    

 

Provisions of this Agreement
may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively
or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and the Required Holders; provided that any such amendment or waiver
that complies with the foregoing but that disproportionately, materially and adversely affects the rights and obligations of any
Investor relative to the comparable rights and obligations of the other Investors shall require the prior written consent of such
adversely affected Investor. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor
and the Company. No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than all of the holders of the Registrable
Securities. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision
of this Agreement unless the same consideration (other than the reimbursement of legal fees) also is offered to all of the parties
to this Agreement.

 

11.          Miscellaneous.    

 

(a)          A
Person is deemed to be a holder of Registrable Securities whenever such Person owns or is deemed to own of record such Registrable
Securities. If the Company receives conflicting instructions, notices or elections from two or more Persons with respect to the
same Registrable Securities, the Company shall act upon the basis of instructions, notice or election received from such record
owner of such Registrable Securities.

 

(b)          Any
notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be
in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent
by facsimile or electronic mail (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on
file by the sending party); or (iii) one Business Day after deposit with a nationally recognized overnight delivery service, in
each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same. The addresses, facsimile numbers and email addresses for such communications
shall be:

(c)          Failure
of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or
remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

 

(d)          All
questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the
State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the
State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting
in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with
any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action
or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding
is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably
waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy
thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute
good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right

(e)          If
any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent
jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the
broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect
the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without
material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or
unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations
of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will
endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s),
the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).

(f)          This
Agreement, the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and the instruments referenced herein
and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof. There

the other Transaction Documents and the instruments referenced herein and therein supersede all prior agreements and understandings

one and the same agreement. This Agreement, once executed by a party, may be delivered to the other party hereto by facsimile transmission
of a copy of this Agreement bearing the signature of the party so delivering this Agreement.

 

(j)          Each
party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver
all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as any other party may reasonably request in order to carry
out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(k)         All
consents and other determinations required to be made by the Investors pursuant to this Agreement shall be made, unless otherwise
specified in this Agreement, by the Required Holders, determined as if all of the outstanding Notes then held by the Investors
have been converted for Registrable Securities without regard to any limitations on redemption, amortization and/or conversion
of the Notes and the outstanding Warrants then held by Investors have been exercised for Registrable Securities without regard
to any limitations on exercise of the Warrants.

the Investors as, and the Company acknowledges that the

 

    	22

    	 

    

 

Investors do not so constitute, a partnership,
an association, a joint venture or any other kind of group or entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way
acting in concert or as a group or entity with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction
Documents or any matters, and the Company acknowledges that the Investors are not acting in concert or as a group, and the Company
shall not assert any such claim, with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or any of
the other the Transaction Documents. Each Investor shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including,
without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of any other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary
for any other Investor to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The use of a single agreement with
respect to the obligations of the Company contained herein was solely in the control of the Company, not the action or decision
of any Investor, and was done solely for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by
any Investor. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction
Document is between the Company and an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between
and among Investors.

OF REGISTRATION STATEMENT

 

American Stock Transfer & Trust Company, LLC.

6201 15th Avenue

New York, NY 11219

Attention: [________]

 

Re:       The Wet
Seal, Inc.

 

Ladies and Gentlemen:

 

[We
are][I am] counsel to The Wet Seal, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and have represented the Company
in connection with that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March [●],
2014 (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”), entered into by and among the Company and the buyers named
therein (collectively, the “Holders”) pursuant to which the Company issued to the Holders senior convertible
notes (the “Notes”) pursuant to which shares of the Company’s Class A common stock, par value $0.10 per share
(the “Common Stock”) are issuable thereunder and warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”).
Pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with the Holders
(the “Registration Rights Agreement”) pursuant to which the Company agreed, among other things, to register
the resale of the Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Notes and upon exercise of the Warrants under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933
Act”). In connection with the Company’s obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on ____________ ___, 2014,
the Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (File No. 333-_____________) (the “Registration Statement”)
with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) relating to the Registrable Securities which names each
of the Holders as a selling shareholder thereunder.

 

In connection with the foregoing,
[we][I] advise you that a member of the SEC’s staff has advised [us][me] by telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring
the Registration Statement effective under the 1933 Act at [ENTER TIME OF EFFECTIVENESS] on [ENTER DATE OF
EFFECTIVENESS] and [we][I] have no knowledge, after telephonic inquiry of a member of the SEC’s staff, that any stop order
suspending its effectiveness has been issued or that any proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or threatened by, the
SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

 

This
letter shall serve as our standing instruction to you that the shares of Common Stock are freely transferable by the Holders pursuant
to the Registration Statement. You need not require further letters from us to effect any future legend-free issuance or reissuance
of shares of Common Stock to the Holders as contemplated by the Company’s Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions dated March [●],
2014. 

	 	 
	 	Very truly yours,
	 	 
	 	[ISSUER’S COUNSEL]

SELLING SHAREHOLDERS

 

The shares of common stock
being offered by the selling shareholders are those issuable to the selling shareholders pursuant to the terms of the convertible
notes and upon exercise of the warrants. For additional information regarding the issuance of those convertible notes and warrants,
see “Private Placement of Convertible Notes and Warrants” above. We are registering the shares of common stock in order
to permit the selling shareholders to offer the shares for resale from time to time. Except for the ownership of the convertible
notes and the warrants issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, the selling shareholders have not had any material
relationship with us within the past three years.

 

The table below lists the
selling shareholders and other information regarding the beneficial ownership of the shares of common stock by each of the selling
shareholders. The second column lists the number of shares of common stock beneficially owned by each selling shareholder, based
on its ownership of the convertible notes and warrants, as of ________, 2014, assuming conversion of all convertible notes and
exercise of all warrants held by the selling shareholders on that date, without regard to any limitations on conversion, amortization,
redemption or exercise.

 

The third column lists
the shares of common stock being offered by this prospectus by the selling shareholders.

 

In accordance with the
terms of a registration rights agreement with the selling shareholders, this prospectus generally covers the resale of at least
the sum of (i) 135% of the maximum number of shares of common stock issued and issuable pursuant to the convertible notes as of
the Trading Day immediately preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC, and (ii) 100% of the
maximum number of shares of common stock issued and issuable upon exercise of the related warrants as of the Trading Day immediately
preceding the date the registration statement is initially filed with the SEC. Because the conversion price of the convertible
notes and the exercise price of the warrants may be adjusted, the number of shares that will actually be issued may be more or
less than the number of shares being offered by this prospectus. The fourth column assumes the sale of all of the shares offered
by the selling shareholders pursuant to this prospectus.

 

Under the terms of the
convertible notes and the warrants, a selling shareholder may not convert the convertible notes or exercise the warrants to the
extent such conversion or exercise would cause such selling shareholder, together with its affiliates, to beneficially own a number
of shares of common stock which would exceed 4.99% of our then outstanding shares of common stock following such conversion or
exercise, excluding for purposes of such determination shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of the convertible notes
which have not been converted and upon exercise of the warrants which have not been exercised. The number of shares in the second
column does not reflect this limitation. The selling shareholders may sell all, some or none of their shares in this offering.
See “Plan of Distribution.”

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

We are registering the
shares of common stock issuable pursuant to the terms of the convertible notes and upon exercise of the warrants to permit the
resale of these shares of common stock by the holders of the convertible notes and warrants from time to time after the date of
this prospectus. We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale by the selling shareholders of the shares of common stock.
We will bear all fees and expenses incident to our obligation to register the shares of common stock.

 

The selling shareholders
may sell all or a portion of the shares of common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby from time to time directly
or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. If the shares of common stock are sold through underwriters or broker-dealers,
the selling shareholders will be responsible for underwriting discounts or commissions or agent’s commissions. The shares of common
stock may be sold in one or more transactions at fixed prices, at prevailing market prices at the time of the sale, at varying
prices determined at the time of sale, or at negotiated prices. These sales may be effected in transactions, which may involve
crosses or block transactions,

 

		·	on any national securities exchange or quotation service on which the securities may be listed
or quoted at the time of sale;

 

		·	in the over-the-counter market;

 

		·	in transactions otherwise than on these exchanges or systems or in the over-the-counter market;

 

		·	through the writing of options, whether such options are listed on an options exchange or otherwise;

 

		·	ordinary brokerage transactions and transactions in which the broker-dealer solicits purchasers;

 

		·	block trades in which the broker-dealer will attempt to sell the shares as agent but may position
and resell a portion of the block as principal to facilitate the transaction;

 

		·	purchases by a broker-dealer as principal and resale by the broker-dealer for its account;

 

		·	an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the applicable exchange;

 

		·	privately negotiated transactions;

 

		·	short sales;

 

		·	sales pursuant to Rule 144;

 

		·	broker-dealers may agree with the selling securityholders to sell a specified number of such shares
at a stipulated price per share;

 

    	B-3

    	 

    

 

		·	a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

		·	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

If the selling shareholders
effect such transactions by selling shares of common stock to or through underwriters, broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents may receive commissions in the form of discounts, concessions or commissions from the selling shareholders
or commissions from purchasers of the shares of common stock for whom they may act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal
(which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may be in excess of those
customary in the types of transactions involved). In connection with sales of the shares of common stock or otherwise, the selling
shareholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers, which may in turn engage in short sales of the shares of
common stock in the course of hedging in positions they assume. The selling shareholders may also sell shares of common stock short
and deliver shares of common stock covered by this prospectus to close out short positions and to return borrowed shares in connection
with such short sales. The selling shareholders may also loan or pledge shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may
sell such shares.

 

The selling shareholders
may pledge or grant a security interest in some or all of the convertible notes, warrants or shares of common stock owned by them
and, if they default in the performance of their secured obligations, the pledgees or secured parties may offer and sell the shares
of common stock from time to time pursuant to this prospectus or any amendment to this prospectus under Rule 424(b)(3) or other
applicable provision of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, amending, if necessary, the list of selling shareholders to include
the pledgee, transferee or other successors in interest as selling shareholders under this prospectus. The selling shareholders
also may transfer and donate the shares of common stock in other circumstances in which case the transferees, donees, pledgees
or other successors in interest will be the selling beneficial owners for purposes of this prospectus.

 

The selling shareholders
and any broker-dealer participating in the distribution of the shares of common stock may be deemed to be “underwriters”
within the meaning of the Securities Act, and any commission paid, or any discounts or concessions allowed to, any such broker-dealer
may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act. At the time a particular offering of the shares
of common stock is made, a prospectus supplement, if required, will be distributed which will set forth the aggregate amount of
shares of common stock being offered and the terms of the offering, including the name or names of any broker-dealers or agents,
any discounts, commissions and other terms constituting compensation from the selling shareholders and any discounts, commissions
or concessions allowed or reallowed or paid to broker-dealers.

 

Under the securities laws
of some states, the shares of common stock may be sold in such states only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers. In
addition, in some states the shares of common stock may not be sold unless such shares have been registered or qualified for sale
in such state or an exemption from registration or qualification is available and is complied with.

 

    	B-4

    	 

    

 

There can be no assurance
that any selling shareholder will sell any or all of the shares of common stock registered pursuant to the registration statement,
of which this prospectus forms a part.

 

The selling shareholders
and any other person participating in such distribution will be subject to applicable provisions of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations thereunder, including, without limitation, Regulation M of the Exchange Act,
which may limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of the shares of common stock by the selling shareholders and any other
participating person. Regulation M may also restrict the ability of any person engaged in the distribution of the shares of common
stock to engage in market-making activities with respect to the shares of common stock. All of the foregoing may affect the marketability
of the shares of common stock and the ability of any person or entity to engage in market-making activities with respect to the
shares of common stock.

 

We will pay all expenses
of the registration of the shares of common stock pursuant to the registration rights agreement, estimated to be $[     ]
in total, including, without limitation, Securities and Exchange Commission filing fees and expenses of compliance with state securities
or “blue sky” laws; provided, however, that a selling shareholder will pay all underwriting discounts and selling commissions,
if any. We will indemnify the selling shareholders against liabilities, including some liabilities under the Securities Act, in
accordance with the registration rights agreements, or the selling shareholders will be entitled to contribution. We may be indemnified
by the selling shareholders against civil liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities Act, that may arise from any
written information furnished to us by the selling shareholder specifically for use in this prospectus, in accordance with the
related registration rights agreement, or we may be entitled to contribution.

 

Once sold under the registration
statement, of which this prospectus forms a part, the shares of common stock will be freely tradable in the hands of persons other
than our affiliates.

Proceeding of the Company or any Guarantor, whether or not the payment of such interest is unenforceable or is not allowable due
to the existence of such Insolvency Proceeding, and all fees, interest, premiums, penalties,

    	3

    	 

    

contract causes of actions, costs,
commissions, expense reimbursements, indemnifications and all other amounts due or to become due under any of the Transaction Documents
(such obligations being the “Guaranteed Obligations”),
and agrees to pay any and all expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) reasonably incurred by the Buyer in enforcing
any rights under this Guaranty. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall
extend to all amounts that constitute part of the Guaranteed Obligations and would be owed by the Company to the Buyer under the
Securities Purchase Agreement, each Note issued to the Buyer and each Warrant issued to the Buyer but for the fact that they are
unenforceable or not allowable due to the existence of an Insolvency Proceeding involving any Transaction Party.

Each Guarantor,
and by its acceptance of this Guaranty the Buyer, hereby confirms that it is the intention of all such Persons that this Guaranty
and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the
Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act, the Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act or any similar foreign, federal, provincial
or state law to the extent applicable to this Guaranty and the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor hereunder. To effectuate
the foregoing intention, the Buyer and the Guarantors hereby irrevocably agree that the Guaranteed Obligations of each Guarantor
under this Guaranty at any time shall be limited to the maximum amount as will result in the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor
under this Guaranty not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

Section
3.     Guaranty Absolute; Continuing Guaranty; Assignments.

(a)      The Guarantors, jointly and severally, guaranty that the Guaranteed Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with
the terms of the Transaction Documents, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction
affecting any of such terms or the rights of the Buyer with respect thereto. The obligations of each Guarantor under this Guaranty
are independent of the Guaranteed Obligations, and a separate action or actions may be brought and prosecuted against any Guarantor
to enforce such obligations, irrespective of whether any action is brought against any Transaction Party or whether any Transaction
Party is joined in any such action or actions. The liability of any Guarantor under this Guaranty shall be irrevocable, absolute
and unconditional irrespective of, and each Guarantor hereby irrevocably waives, to the extent permitted by law, any defenses it
may now or hereafter have in any way relating to, any or all of the following:

(i)       any lack of validity or enforceability of any Transaction Document or any agreement or instrument relating thereto;

(ii)      any change in the time, manner or place of payment of, or in any other term of, all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations,
or any other amendment or waiver of or any consent to departure from any Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any
increase in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from the extension of additional credit to any Transaction Party or otherwise;

(iii)     any taking, exchange, release or non-perfection of any collateral;

    	4

    	 

    

(iv)     any
taking, release or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any other guaranty, for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations;

(v)      any change, restructuring or termination of the corporate, limited liability company or partnership structure or existence
of any Transaction Party;

(vi)     any manner of application of collateral, or proceeds thereof, to all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations, or any manner
of sale or other disposition of any collateral for all or any of the Guaranteed Obligations or any other Obligations of any Transaction
Party under the Transaction Documents or any other assets of any Transaction Party or any of its Subsidiaries;

(vii)    any failure of the Buyer to disclose to any Transaction Party any information relating to the business, condition (financial
or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction Party now or hereafter known to the Buyer
(each Guarantor waiving any duty on the part of the Buyer to disclose such information); or

(viii)   any other circumstance (including any statute of limitations) or any existence of or reliance on any representation by the
Buyer that might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, any Transaction Party or any other guarantor or
surety.

This Guaranty shall continue to be effective
or be reinstated, as the case may be, if at any time any payment of any of the Guaranteed Obligations is rescinded or must otherwise
be returned by the Buyer, or any other Person upon the insolvency, bankruptcy or reorganization of any Transaction Party or otherwise,
all as though such payment had not been made.

(b)     This Guaranty is a continuing guaranty and shall (i) remain in full force and effect until Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed
Obligations (other than Inchoate Indemnity Obligations) and shall not terminate for any reason prior to the respective Maturity
Date of each Note issued to the Buyer (other than Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Inchoate Indemnity
Obligations)) and (ii) be binding upon each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns. This Guaranty shall inure to the
benefit of and be enforceable by the Buyer, and its successors, and permitted pledgees, transferees and assigns. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing sentence, the Buyer may pledge, assign or otherwise transfer all or any portion of its rights and
obligations under and subject to the terms of any Transaction Document to any other Person who becomes a holder of any Notes, and
such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all the benefits in respect thereof granted to the Buyer herein, in each case
as provided in the Securities Purchase Agreement or such Transaction Document.

Section
4.     Waivers. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby waives promptness, diligence,
notice of acceptance and any other notice with respect to any of the Guaranteed Obligations and this Guaranty and any requirement
that the Buyer exhaust any right or take any action against any Transaction Party or any other Person or any Collateral. Each Guarantor
acknowledges that it will receive substantial direct and indirect benefits from the financing arrangements contemplated herein
and that the waiver set forth in this Section 4 is knowingly made in contemplation of such benefits. The Guarantors hereby
waive any right to revoke this Guaranty, and acknowledge that this Guaranty is continuing in

    	5

    	 

    

nature and applies to all Guaranteed
Obligations, whether existing now or in the future. To the extent permitted by applicable law, each Guarantor hereby unconditionally
and irrevocably waives (a) any defense arising by reason of any claim or defense based upon an election of remedies by the
Buyer that in any manner impairs, reduces, releases or otherwise adversely affects the subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration,
contribution or indemnification rights of such Guarantor or other rights of such Guarantor to proceed against any of the other
Transaction Parties, any other guarantor or any other Person or any Collateral, and (b) any defense based on any right of
set-off or counterclaim against or in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations of such Guarantor hereunder. Each Guarantor hereby
unconditionally and irrevocably waives any duty on the part of the Buyer to disclose to such Guarantor any matter, fact or thing
relating to the business, condition (financial or otherwise), operations, performance, properties or prospects of any other Transaction
Party or any of its Subsidiaries now or hereafter known by the Buyer.

Section
5.     Subrogation. No Guarantor may exercise any rights that it may now or hereafter acquire against
any Transaction Party or any other guarantor that arise from the existence, payment, performance or enforcement of any Guarantor’s
obligations under this Guaranty, including, without limitation, any right of subrogation, reimbursement, exoneration, contribution
or indemnification and any right to participate in any claim or remedy of the Buyer against any Transaction Party or any other
guarantor or any collateral for any Guaranteed Obligations, whether or not such claim, remedy or right arises in equity or under
contract, statute or common law, including, without limitation, the right to take or receive from any Transaction Party or any
other guarantor, directly or indirectly, in cash or other property or by set-off or in any other manner, payment or security solely
on account of such claim, remedy or right, unless and until there has been Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other
than Inchoate Indemnity Obligations). If any amount shall be paid to a Guarantor in violation of the immediately preceding sentence
at any time prior to Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Inchoate Indemnity Obligations) and all other
amounts payable under this Guaranty, such amount shall be held in trust for the benefit of the Buyer and shall forthwith be paid
to the Buyer to be credited and applied to the Guaranteed Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty, whether
matured or unmatured, in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Document, or to be held as collateral for any Guaranteed
Obligations or other amounts payable under this Guaranty thereafter arising. If (a) any Guarantor shall make payment to the
Buyer of all or any part of the Guaranteed Obligations, and (b) there has been Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations
(other than Inchoate Indemnity Obligations), the Buyer will, at such Guarantor’s request and expense, execute and deliver
to such Guarantor appropriate documents, without recourse and without representation or warranty, necessary to evidence the transfer
by subrogation to such Guarantor of an interest in the Guaranteed Obligations resulting from such payment by such Guarantor.

Section
6.      Representations, Warranties and Covenants.

(a)      Each Guarantor hereby represents and warrants as of the date first written above as follows:

the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and (C) is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction

action, as applicable, (B) do not and will not contravene its charter, articles or by-laws, its limited liability company or operating

(iii)     No authorization or approval or other action by, and no notice to or filing with, any Governmental Authority is required
in connection with the due execution, delivery and performance by the Guarantor of this Guaranty or any of the other Transaction
Documents to which the Guarantor is a party (other than expressly provided for in any of the Transaction Documents).

(iv)     Each of this Guaranty and the other Transaction Documents to which the Guarantor is or will be a party, when delivered,
will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Guarantor, enforceable against the Guarantor in accordance with its terms,
except as may be limited by the Bankruptcy Code or other applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent
conveyance, suretyship or similar laws and equitable principles (regardless of whether enforcement is sought in equity or at law).

(v)      There is no pending or, to the knowledge of the Guarantor, threatened action, suit or proceeding against the Guarantor or
to which any of the properties of the Guarantor is subject, before any court or other Governmental Authority or any arbitrator
that (A) if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect or (B) relates to this
Guaranty or any of the other Transaction Documents to which the Guarantor is a party or any transaction contemplated hereby or
thereby.

(vi)    The
Guarantor (A) has read and understands the terms and conditions of the Securities Purchase Agreement, the Notes, the Warrants

information concerning the affairs, financial condition and business of the Company and the other Transaction Parties, and
has no need of, or right to obtain from the Buyer, any

    	7

    	 

    

credit or other information concerning
the affairs, financial condition or business of the Company or the other Transaction Parties that may come under the control of
the Buyer.

(vii)    There are no conditions precedent to the effectiveness of this Guaranty that have not been satisfied or waived.

(b)     The Guarantor covenants and agrees that until Satisfaction in Full of the Guaranteed Obligations (other than Inchoate Indemnity
Obligations), it will comply with each of the covenants (except to the extent applicable only to a public company) which are set
forth in Section 4 of the Securities Purchase Agreement and Section 13 of the Notes as if the Guarantor were a party thereto.

Section
7.     Right of Set-off. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of any Event of Default, Buyer may,
and is hereby authorized to, at any time and from time to time, without notice to the Guarantors (any such notice being expressly
waived by each Guarantor to the fullest extent permitted by law), and to the fullest extent permitted by law, subject to the subordination
provisions set forth in Section 28 of the Notes, if then applicable, set-off and apply any and all deposits (general or special,
time or demand, provisional or final) at any time held and other indebtedness at any time owing by the Buyer to or for the credit
or the account of any Guarantor against any and all obligations of the Guarantors now or hereafter existing under this Guaranty
or any other Transaction Document, irrespective of whether or not the Buyer shall have made any demand under this Guaranty or any
other Transaction Document and although such obligations may be contingent or unmatured. Buyer agrees to notify the relevant Guarantor
promptly after any such set-off and application made by such Buyer, provided that the failure to give such notice shall not affect
the validity of such set-off and application. The rights of the Buyer under this Section 7 are in addition to other rights
and remedies (including, without limitation, other rights of set-off) which the Buyer may have under this Guaranty or any other
Transaction Document in law or otherwise.

Section
8.    Limitation on Guaranteed Obligations. Notwithstanding any provision herein contained to the contrary, each
Guarantor’s liability hereunder shall be limited to an amount not to exceed as of any date of determination the lesser of:

(a)      the net amount of all Guaranteed Obligations, plus interest thereon at the applicable Interest Rate as specified in each
Note held by the Buyer; and

(b)     the amount which could be claimed by the Buyer from such Guarantor under this Guaranty without rendering such claim voidable
or avoidable under the Bankruptcy Code or under any applicable state Uniform Fraudulent Transfer Act, Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance
Act or similar statute or common law after taking into account, among other things, Guarantor’s right of contribution and
indemnification.

Each Guarantor agrees
that the Guaranteed Obligations may at any time and from time to time exceed the amount of the liability of such Guarantor hereunder
without impairing the guaranty hereunder or affecting the rights and remedies of the Buyer hereunder.

No payment made
by the Company, any Guarantor, any other guarantor or any other Person or received or collected by the Buyer from the Company,
any of the Guarantors, any

    	8

    	 

    

other guarantor or any other Person
by virtue of any action or proceeding or any set-off or appropriation or application at any time or from time to time in reduction
of or in payment of the Guaranteed Obligations shall be deemed to modify, reduce, release or otherwise affect the liability of
any Guarantor hereunder which shall, notwithstanding any such payment (other than any payment made by such Guarantor in respect
of the Guaranteed Obligations or any payment received or collected from such Guarantor in respect of the Guaranteed Obligations),
remain liable for the Guaranteed Obligations up to the maximum liability of such Guarantor hereunder until after all of the Guaranteed
Obligations and all other amounts payable under this Guaranty shall have been Satisfied in Full (other than Inchoate Indemnity
Obligations).

Each Guarantor (a
“Contributing Guarantor”) agrees (subject to Section 5) that, in the event a payment shall be made by any other
Guarantor hereunder in respect of any Guaranteed Obligation, and such other Guarantor (the “Claiming Guarantor”)
shall not have been fully indemnified by the Company, the Contributing Guarantor shall indemnify the Claiming Guarantor in an amount
equal to (i) the amount of such payment or (ii) the greater of the book value or the fair market value of such assets,
as the case may be, in each case multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the net worth of the Contributing Guarantor
on the date hereof and the denominator shall be the aggregate net worth of all the Guarantors on the date hereof. Any Contributing
Guarantor making any payment to a Claiming Guarantor pursuant to this Section 8 shall be subrogated to the rights of such Claiming
Guarantor under Section 5 to the extent of such payment.

Section
9.     Notices, Etc. Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under
the terms of this Guaranty must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered: (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally;
(ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and
kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one (1) Business Day after deposit with an overnight courier service with next day
delivery specified, in each case, properly addressed to the party to receive the same. All notices and other communications provided
for hereunder shall be sent, if to any Guarantor, to the Company’s address and/or facsimile number, or if to the Buyer, to
it at its address and/or facsimile number, each as set forth in Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement

Section 10.   Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this
Guaranty shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict
of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each Guarantor hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder
or in connection herewith or under any of the other Transaction Documents or with any transaction contemplated hereby or thereby,
and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally
subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that
the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such

    	9

    	 

    

party at the address for such notices
to it under Section 9(f) of the Securities Purchase Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient
service of process and notice thereof. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process
in any manner permitted by law. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed or operate to preclude the Buyer from bringing suit or
taking other legal action against any Guarantor in any other jurisdiction to collect on a Guarantor’s obligations or to enforce
a judgment or other court ruling in favor of the Buyer.

Section 11.   WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL, ETC. EACH GUARANTOR AND BUYER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO, AND
AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR UNDER ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR IN
CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS GUARANTY, ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR THEREBY.

Section
12.    Taxes.

(a)      All payments made by any Guarantor hereunder or under any other Transaction Document shall be made in accordance with the
terms of the respective Transaction Document and shall be made without set-off, counterclaim, deduction or other defense. All such
payments shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any present or future taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges
or withholdings, and all liabilities with respect thereto, excluding
taxes imposed on the net income of the Buyer by the jurisdiction in which the Buyer is organized or where it has its principal
lending office (all such non-excluded taxes, levies, imposts, deductions, charges, withholdings and liabilities, collectively or
individually, “Taxes”). If any Guarantor shall
be required to deduct or to withhold any Taxes from or in respect of any amount payable hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document:

(i)       the amount so payable shall be increased to the extent necessary so that after making all required deductions and withholdings
(including Taxes on amounts payable to the Buyer pursuant to this sentence) the Buyer receives an amount equal to the sum it would
have received had no such deduction or withholding been made,

(ii)      such Guarantor shall make such deduction or withholding,

(iii)     such Guarantor shall pay the full amount deducted or withheld to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with
applicable law, and

(iv)     as promptly as possible thereafter, such Guarantor shall send the Buyer an official receipt (or, if an official receipt
is not available, such other documentation as shall be satisfactory to the Buyer, as the case may be) showing payment.  In
addition, each Guarantor agrees to pay any present or future stamp or documentary taxes or any other excise or property taxes,
charges or similar levies that arise from any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement
of, or otherwise with respect to, this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document (collectively, “Other
Taxes”).

 

    	10

    	 

    

(b)     Each
Guarantor hereby indemnifies and agrees to hold each Indemnified Party harmless from and against Taxes or Other Taxes (including,
without limitation, any Taxes or Other Taxes imposed by any jurisdiction on amounts payable under this Section 12) paid
by any Indemnified Party as a result of any payment made hereunder or from the execution, delivery, registration or enforcement
of, or otherwise with respect to, this Guaranty or any other Transaction Document, and any liability (including penalties, interest
and expenses for nonpayment, late payment or otherwise) arising therefrom or with respect thereto, whether or not such Taxes or
Other Taxes were correctly or legally asserted.  This indemnification shall be paid within thirty (30) days from the date
on which the Buyer makes written demand therefor, which demand shall identify the nature and amount of such Taxes or Other Taxes.

(c)     If any Guarantor fails to perform any of its obligations under this Section 12, such Guarantor shall indemnify the
Buyer for any taxes, interest or penalties that may become payable as a result of any such failure. The obligations of the Guarantors
under this Section 12 shall survive the termination of this
Guaranty and the payment of the Obligations and all other amounts payable hereunder.

Section
13.    Indemnification.

(a)      Without limitation on any other obligations of any Guarantor or remedies of the Buyer under this Guaranty, except to the
extent resulting from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence or willful misconduct, as determined by a final judgment
of a court of competent jurisdiction, each Guarantor shall, to the fullest extent permitted by law, indemnify, defend and save
and hold harmless the Buyer and each of its affiliates and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and advisors
(each, an “Indemnified Party”) from and against, and shall pay on demand, any and all claims, damages, losses,
liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) that may be incurred by or asserted
or awarded against any Indemnified Party in connection with or as a result of any failure of any Guaranteed Obligations to be the
legal, valid and binding obligations of any Transaction Party enforceable against such Transaction Party in accordance with their
terms.

(b)     Each Guarantor hereby also agrees that none of the Indemnified Parties shall have any liability (whether direct or indirect,
in contract, tort or otherwise) to any of the Guarantors or any of their respective affiliates or any of their respective officers,
directors, employees, agents and advisors, and each Guarantor hereby agrees not to assert any claim against any Indemnified Party
on any theory of liability, for special, indirect, consequential or punitive damages arising out of or otherwise relating to the
facilities, the actual or proposed use of the proceeds of the advances, the Transaction Documents or any of the transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents.

Section
14.    Miscellaneous.

(a)      Each Guarantor will make each payment hereunder in lawful money of the United States of America and in immediately available
funds to the Buyer, at such address specified by such Buyer from time to time by notice to the Guarantors.

    	11

    	 

    

(b)      No amendment or waiver of any provision of this Guaranty and no consent to any departure by any Guarantor therefrom shall
in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by each Guarantor and the Buyer, and then such waiver
or consent shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the specific purpose for which given.

(b)     No failure on the part of the Buyer to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right hereunder or under any other Transaction
Document shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right hereunder or under any Transaction
Document preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right. The rights and remedies of the Buyer
provided herein and in the other Transaction Documents are cumulative and are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any rights
or remedies provided by law. The rights of the Buyer under any Transaction Document against any party thereto are not conditional
or contingent on any attempt by the Buyer to exercise any of their rights under any other Transaction Document against such party
or against any other Person.

(c)     Any provision of this Guaranty that is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be
ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining portions hereof or affecting
the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

(d)     This Guaranty shall (i) be binding on each Guarantor and its respective successors and assigns, and (ii) inure, together
with all rights and remedies of the Buyer hereunder, to the benefit of the Buyer and its respective successors, transferees and
assigns. Without limiting the generality of clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence, the Buyer may assign or otherwise
transfer its respective rights and obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement or any other Transaction Document to any
other Person in accordance with the terms thereof, and such other Person shall thereupon become vested with all of the benefits
in respect thereof granted to the Buyer herein or otherwise. None of the rights or obligations of any Guarantor hereunder may be
assigned or otherwise transferred without the prior written consent of the Buyer.

(e)     This Guaranty reflects the entire understanding of the transaction contemplated hereby and shall not be contradicted or
qualified by any other agreement, oral or written, entered into before the date hereof.

(f)      Section headings herein are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Guaranty
for any other purpose.

Section
15.   Currency Indemnity.

If, for the purpose
of obtaining or enforcing judgment against Guarantor in any court in any jurisdiction, it becomes necessary to convert into any
other currency (such other currency being hereinafter in this Section 15 referred to as the “Judgment Currency”)
an amount due under this Guaranty in any currency (the “Obligation Currency”) other than the Judgment Currency,
the conversion shall be made at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Business Day immediately preceding (a) the date of actual
payment of the amount due, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of courts of the jurisdiction that will give effect to such

    	12

    	 

    

conversion being made on such date,
or (b) the date on which the judgment is given, in the case of any proceeding in the courts of any other jurisdiction (the applicable
date as of which such conversion is made pursuant to this Section 15 being hereinafter in this Section 15 referred
to as the “Judgment Conversion Date”).

If, in the case of any proceeding
in the court of any jurisdiction referred to in the preceding paragraph, there is a change in the rate of exchange prevailing between
the Judgment Conversion Date and the date of actual receipt of the amount due in immediately available funds, the Guarantor shall
pay such additional amount (if any, but in any event not a lesser amount) as may be necessary to ensure that the amount actually
received in the Judgment Currency, when converted at the rate of exchange prevailing on the date of payment, will produce the amount
of the Obligation Currency which could have been purchased with the amount of the Judgment Currency stipulated in the judgment
or judicial order at the rate of exchange prevailing on the Judgment Conversion Date. Any amount due from the Guarantor under this
Section 15 shall be due as a separate debt and shall not be affected by judgment being obtained for any other amounts due
under or in respect of this Guaranty.

 

Section
16.   Subordination. The obligations of
each Guarantor hereunder shall be subordinated to such Guarantor’s obligations under that certain Amended and Restated
Credit Agreement entered into between the Company and Bank of America, N.A., dated as of February 3, 2011, as amended from
time to time (the “Senior Credit Agreement”), to the same extent and at the same times (i.e. solely upon
the occurrence (and during the continuance) of a Proceeding (as defined in the Notes) or a Redemption Event (as defined in
the Notes), as applicable) as the Company’s obligations under the Notes are subordinated to its obligations under the
Senior Credit Agreement as set forth in Section 28 of the Notes, and such subordination provisions shall apply mutatis
mutandis as if set forth herein in full.

Section
17.   Pro Rata Payments. Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other guaranty in favor of any Buyer, all payments
required to be made to the Buyer hereunder and to any other Buyers under any similar guarantee shall be made pro rata to all Buyers
in accordance with their respective Holder Pro Rata Amount (as such term is defined in the Notes).
