other organizational or charter documents. The Company is duly qualified to do business and is in good standing as a foreign corporation
or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification
necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in the

    	4

    	 

    

 

4.2.          Authorization;
Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transactions contemplated
by each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of
the Company and no further consent or action is required by the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders. Each of the
Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been (or upon delivery will be) duly executed by the Company and is, or when delivered
in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute, the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company
in accordance with its terms, except (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by
laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification
and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

 

4.3.          No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party by the Company and the
consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not, and will not, (i) conflict with or
violate any provision of the Company’s certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter
documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event that with notice or lapse of time or both would become
a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation (with or without notice,
lapse of time or both) of, or result in the creation of any lien, security interest, charge or encumbrance upon any of the properties
or assets of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary under the terms or conditions of, any agreement, credit facility, debt or
other instrument (evidencing a Company debt or otherwise) or other understanding to which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary
is a party or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound, or affected, except to the extent that such conflict, default,
termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation right would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court
or governmental authority to which the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is subject (including, assuming the accuracy of the
representations and warranties of the Investors set forth in Section 5 hereof, federal and state securities laws and regulations
and the rules and regulations of any self-regulatory organization to which the Company or its securities are subject, including
all applicable Trading Markets), or by which any property or asset of the Company or any Significant Subsidiary is bound or affected,

validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens and will not be subject to preemptive or similar

agent’s fees, financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commission (other than for persons engaged by any Investor or its
investment advisor) relating to or arising out of the issuance of the Preferred Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The Company
shall pay, and hold each Investor harmless against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's
fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any such claim for fees arising out of the issuance of the Preferred
Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The Company may elect to appoint RCS Capital, as a structuring agent (the “Agent”)

agent in connection with the sale of the Preferred Shares.

 

4.9.          Private

contemplated hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Preferred Shares pursuant to the Transaction Documents to be integrated
with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of any applicable law, regulation or stockholder approval provisions, including,
without limitation, under the rules and regulations of any Trading Market. Assuming the accuracy of the representations and warranties
of the Investors set forth in Section 5, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of
the Preferred Shares by the Company to the Investors as contemplated hereby. The sale and issuance of the Preferred Shares hereunder

or oral) from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not
in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe
that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

 

4.11.         Registration
Rights. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any Person any rights (including
“piggy-back” registration rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the SEC or any other governmental
authority that have not expired or been satisfied or waived. No Person has registration or “piggy-back” rights that
would preempt or “cut-back” the registration rights granted to the Investors under this Agreement.

inquiry or investigation, before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization or body pending
or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened against or affecting the Company that could, individually or in the aggregate,
to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.13.         Application
of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, to render inapplicable
any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other
similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Charter Documents or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or
could become applicable to any of the Investors as a result of the Investors and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising
their rights under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, as a result of the Company’s issuance of the
Preferred Shares and the Investors’ ownership of the Preferred Shares

 

4.14.         Compliance.
Except as would not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect, (i)

lapse of time or both, would result in a default by the Company under), nor has the Company received written notice of a claim

to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound (whether or not such default or violation has been waived),
(ii) the Company is not in violation of any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body, or (iii)  the Company
is not and has not been in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority.

4.15.         Domestically
Controlled REIT. To the Company’s knowledge and belief, the Company is, and the Company expects that it will be immediately
after the Closing and after any conversion of the Preferred Stock, a “domestically controlled qualified investment entity”
(within the meaning of Section 897(h)(4) of the Code, and, for the avoidance of doubt, taking into account the ownership of the
Common Stock of the Company), provided that in applying Section 897(h)(4)(B) of the Code for purposes of this representation,
it shall be assumed that all persons who own stock in the Company as a result of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
and by the Articles Supplementary (including any conversion of the Preferred Shares) are foreign persons.

 

4.16.         Internal
Accounting Controls. The Company maintains a system of internal accounting controls sufficient to provide reasonable assurance
that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general

Rights.

(a)          On
or prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement or, if a Registration Statement
is then effective, a supplement to the Prospectus, in either case covering the resale of all Registrable Securities for an offering
to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 (or any successor provision); provided, that the Company may, in its
sole discretion, extend the Filing Date for up to ten (10) days. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the
Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall
be on another appropriate form in accordance with the Securities Act and the Exchange Act). This Prospectus or supplement thereto,
as applicable, shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Investors or requested by the SEC) the “Plan of Distribution”
in substantially the form (subject to any changes that may be made in accordance with Section 8.2(a)) attached hereto as
Exhibit F.

 

(b)          Company
shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until
the earlier of the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or can be sold publicly
without any volume limitations under Rule 144 (the “Effectiveness Period”).

 

(c)          Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, after 120 consecutive Trading Days of continuous effectiveness of the initial Registration
Statement filed and declared effective (or Prospectus filed, as appropriate) pursuant to this Agreement, the Company may, by written
notice to the Investors, suspend sales under a Registration Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require that the
Investors immediately cease the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant thereto and/or defer the filing of any subsequent Registration
Statement if the Company is engaged in a material merger, acquisition or sale and the Company’s Board of Directors determines
in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result of such activity, (A) it would be materially detrimental to the
Company (other than as relating solely to the price of the Common Stock) to maintain a Registration Statement at such time
or (B) it is in the best interests of the Company to suspend sales under such registration at such time. Upon receipt of such
notice, each Investor shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration until such
Investor is advised in writing by the Company that the current Prospectus or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be used. In
no event, however, shall this right be exercised to suspend sales beyond the period during which (in the good faith determination
of the Company’s Board of Directors) the failure to require such suspension would be materially detrimental to the Company.
The Company’s rights under this Section 8.1(c) may be exercised for a period of no more than 20 Trading Days at a time and
not more than three times in any twelve-month period. Immediately after the end of any suspension period under this Section 8.1(c),

thereto, furnish to the Investors copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents (other than any document that
is incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference therein) will be subject to the review of such Investors. The Company
shall reflect in each such document when so filed with the SEC such comments regarding the description of the transactions contemplated
by this Agreement or the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, the Investors and the plan of distribution as the Investors may reasonably
and promptly propose no later than two Trading Days after the Investors have been so furnished with copies of such documents as
aforesaid.

 

(b)          
(i) Subject to Section 8.1(c), prepare and file with the SEC such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to each
Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement continuously
effective, as to the applicable Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the SEC such additional
Registration Statements in order to register for resale under the Securities Act all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) cause
the related Prospectus to be amended or supplemented by any required Prospectus supplement, and as so supplemented or amended to
be filed pursuant to Rule 424 (or any successor provision); and (iii) comply in all material respects with the provisions
of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by the Registration
Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investors thereof set forth
in the Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so supplemented.

 

(c)          Notify
the Investors as promptly as reasonably possible, and (if requested by the Investors confirm such notice in writing no later than
two Trading Days thereafter, of any of the following events: (i) the SEC issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness
of any Registration Statement or initiates any Proceedings for that purpose; (ii) the Company receives notice of any suspension
of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation
or threat of any Proceeding for such purpose; or (iii) the financial statements included in any Registration Statement become
ineligible for inclusion therein or any Registration Statement or Prospectus or other document contains any untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state any 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.

 

    	21

    	 

    

 

(d)          Use
its reasonable best efforts to avoid the issuance of or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order suspending the
effectiveness of any Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification)
of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, as soon as possible.

 

(e)          Promptly
deliver to each Investor, without charge, as many copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus)
and each amendment or supplement thereto as such Persons may reasonably request. The Company hereby consents to the use of such
Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto by each of the selling Investors in connection with the offering and sale of
the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus and any amendment or supplement thereto to the extent permitted by federal
and state securities laws and regulations.

 

(f)          (i) In
the manner required by each Trading Market, prepare and file with such Trading Market an additional shares listing application
(or applications) covering all of the Registrable Securities; (ii) take all steps necessary to cause such Common Stock to
be approved for listing on each Trading Market as soon as possible thereafter; (iii) provide to each Investor evidence of
such listing; and (iv) except as a result of events provided for in Section 8.1(c), during the Effectiveness Period, maintain
the listing of such Common Stock on each such Trading Market or another Eligible Market.

 

(g)          Prior
to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use reasonable best efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the selling
Investors in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable
Securities for offer and sale under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as any Investor
requests in writing, to keep each such registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom) effective for so long as required,
but not to exceed the duration of the Effectiveness Period, and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary or
advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided,
however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file any general consent to service of process or to qualify as a foreign
corporation or as a dealer in securities in any jurisdiction in which it is not so qualified or to subject itself to taxation in
respect of doing business in any jurisdiction in which it is not otherwise so subject.

 

(h)          Cooperate
with the Investors to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates or book-entry records, as required by the
Investors, representing Registrable Securities to be delivered to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates
or records, as applicable, shall be free, to the extent permitted by this Agreement and under law, of all restrictive legends,
and to enable such certificates to be in such denominations and registered in such names as any such Investors may reasonably request.

 

(i)          Upon
the occurrence of any event described in Section 8.2(c)(iii), as promptly as reasonably possible, prepare a supplement or amendment,
including a post-effective amendment, to the Registration Statement or a supplement to the related Prospectus or any document incorporated
or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference, and file any other required document so that, as thereafter delivered, neither
the Registration Statement nor such Prospectus will contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit 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.

 

    	22

    	 

    

 

(j)          Cooperate
with any reasonable due diligence investigation undertaken by the Investors in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities,
including, without limitation, by making available documents and information; provided, that, the Company will not deliver or make
available to any Investor material, nonpublic information unless such Investor requests in advance in writing to receive material,
nonpublic information and agrees in writing to keep such information confidential.

 

(k)          Comply
with all rules and regulations of the SEC applicable to the registration of the Common Stock.

 

(l)          
It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration or Prospectus supplement filing
pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of any particular Investor that such Investor furnish to
the Company the information specified in Exhibits D-1, D-2 and D-3 hereto and such other information regarding
itself, the Registrable Securities and other Common Stock held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable
Securities held by it (if different from the Plan of Distribution set forth on Exhibit F hereto) as shall be reasonably
required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities or file a Prospectus supplement with respect to the Registrable
Securities and shall complete and execute such documents in connection with the foregoing as the Company may reasonably request.

 

(m)          
The Company shall comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including,
without limitation, Rule 172 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act, file any final Prospectus, including any supplement
or amendment thereof, with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424 (or any successor provision) under the Securities Act, reasonably promptly
inform the Investors in writing if, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, the Company does not satisfy the conditions specified
in Rule 172 (or any successor provision) and, as a result thereof, the Investors are required to make available a Prospectus in
connection with any disposition of Registrable Securities and take such other actions as may be reasonably necessary to facilitate
the registration of the Registrable Securities hereunder.

 

    	23

    	 

    

 

8.3.          Registration
Expenses. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses (other than Selling Expenses) incurred in connection with the performance
of or compliance with Section 8 of this Agreement by the Company, including without limitation (a) all registration and filing
fees and expenses, including without limitation those related to filings with the SEC, any Trading Market and in connection with
applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws, (b) printing expenses (including without limitation expenses of printing certificates
for Registrable Securities), (c) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (d) fees and disbursements of counsel for
the Company, (e) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, and (f) all listing fees to be paid by the Company to the Trading Market. All Selling Expenses
incurred in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities shall be borne by the Investor or other holder selling such Registrable
Securities. Each Investor or other holder of Registrable Securities shall pay the expenses of its own counsel and other advisers.

 

9.          Indemnification;
Miscellaneous.

 

9.1.          Indemnification
by the Company.

 

(a)          Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Investor,
each Investor’s officers, directors, agents and employees and each Person who controls any such Investor (within the meaning
of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, from and against any and all Losses, as incurred, arising out of or based on (i) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation
or warranty made by the Company in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby
or thereby or (ii) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus
or any form of Company prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any Company preliminary prospectus, or arising
out of or relating to any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the
statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances
under which they were made) not misleading, except to the extent that (A) such untrue statements, alleged untrue statements,
omissions or alleged omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Investor furnished in writing to the Company by
such Investor or its agent for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Investor or such Investor's
proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved by such Investor or its agent
in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto (it being understood that the information provided by the Investor to the Company in Exhibits D-1, D-2
and D-3 and the Plan of Distribution set forth on Exhibit F, as the same may be modified by such Investor and other
information provided by the Investor to the Company in or pursuant to the Transaction Documents constitutes information reviewed
and expressly approved by such Investor in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement and Prospectus, as applicable),
or (B) with respect to any Prospectus, if the untrue statement or omission of material fact contained in such Prospectus was corrected
on a timely basis in the Prospectus, as then amended or supplemented, if such corrected Prospectus was timely made available by
the Company to the Investor, and the Investor or its agent seeking indemnity hereunder was advised in writing not to use the incorrect
Prospectus prior to the use giving rise to Losses.

 

    	24

    	 

    

 

 

(b)          Indemnification
by Investors. Each Investor shall, severally and not jointly, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify
and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, agents and employees and each Person who controls the Company (within the
meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law,
from and against all Losses (i) arising out of or based on any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made
by such Investor in the Transaction Documents or any other certificate, instrument or document contemplated hereby or thereby or
(ii) arising out of (A) any violation or purported violation of securities laws by such Investor in connection with any resale
of Common Stock and (B) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or any
form of prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto, or arising out of or relating to any omission of a material fact
required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any Prospectus or form of prospectus
or supplement thereto, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, but only to the extent that
such untrue statements or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Investor furnished to the Company by such
Investor or its agent in writing expressly for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Investor or
such Investor’s proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing
by such Investor or its agent expressly for use in the Registration Statement, such Prospectus or such form of prospectus or in
any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the information provided by the Investor to the Company in Exhibits
D-1, D-2 and D-3 and the Plan of Distribution set forth on Exhibit F, as the same may be modified by
such Investor and other information provided by the Investor to the Company in or pursuant to the Transaction Documents constitutes
information reviewed and expressly approved by such Investor in writing expressly for use in the Registration Statement and Prospectus,
as applicable). In no event shall the liability of any selling Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of
the net proceeds received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

 

(c)          Conduct
of Indemnification Proceedings. If any Proceeding shall be brought or asserted against any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder
(an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the
“Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall assume the defense thereof, including the employment
of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with
defense thereof; provided, that, the failure of any Indemnified Party to give such notice shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party
of its obligations or liabilities pursuant to this Agreement, except (and only) to the extent that it shall be finally determined
by a court of competent jurisdiction (which determination is not subject to appeal or further review) that such failure shall have
proximately and materially adversely prejudiced the Indemnifying Party.

 

    	25

    	 

    

 

 

An Indemnified Party shall have the right
to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties unless: (i) the Indemnifying Party has agreed in writing
to pay such fees and expenses; or (ii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed promptly to assume the defense of such Proceeding
and to employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party in any such Proceeding; or (iii) the named parties
to any such Proceeding (including any impleaded parties) include both such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party, and such
Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that a conflict of interest is likely to exist if the same counsel were to
represent such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party (in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Indemnifying
Party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party shall
not have the right to assume the defense thereof and the reasonable fees and expenses of separate counsel shall be at the expense
of the Indemnifying Party). It shall be understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any one
such Proceeding (including separate Proceedings that have been or will be consolidated before a single judge) be liable for the
fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all Indemnified Parties, which firm shall be appointed
by a majority of the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of any such Proceeding
effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment
with respect to, any pending or threatened Proceeding in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder
(whether or not such Indemnified Party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim) unless such settlement, compromise
or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such action or claim
and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of the Indemnified
Party.

 

All reasonable fees
and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating
or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section 9.1(c)) shall be paid to the Indemnified
Party, as incurred, within 20 Trading Days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately
determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that, the Indemnifying Party may require
such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that
such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

 

(d)          Contribution.
If a claim for indemnification under Section 9.1(a) or  (b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy
or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid
or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault
of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses
as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall
be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or relates to information supplied
by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and
opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any
Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 9.1(c), any reasonable attorneys’ or other
reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified
for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in this Section 9.1 was available to such party in accordance with
its terms.

 

The parties hereto agree that it would not
be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method
of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph.
Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 9.1(d), 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 sale of the Registrable Securities
subject to the Proceeding exceed the amount of any damages that such Investor has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such
untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent
misrepresentation. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in this Section 9.1are in addition to any liability that
the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

    	26

    	 

    

 

9.2.          Dispositions.
Each Investor agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in
connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and, to the extent any such sales are made
under the Registration Statement, shall sell its Registrable Securities in accordance with the Plan of Distribution set forth in
the Prospectus. Each Investor further agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of any event of
the kind described in Section 8.2(c), such Investor will discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the Registration
Statement until such Investor is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the Prospectus, or amended Prospectus, as applicable,
may be resumed. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. Each
Investor, severally and not jointly with the other Investors, agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates
or book-entry records representing Preferred Shares as set forth in this Section 9.2 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance
that the Investor will comply with the provisions of this subsection. Both the Company and the Transfer Agent, and their respective
directors, officers, employees and agents, may rely on this subsection.

 

9.3.          
Termination. This Agreement may be terminated by the Company or any Investor, by written notice to the other parties, if the
Closing has not been consummated by the tenth (10th) Trading Day following the date of this Agreement; provided,
however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.3 shall not be available to any party if
the failure of such party to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement has been a principal cause of, or resulted
in, the failure of the Closing to be consummated on or before such date. No termination pursuant to
this Section 9.3 will affect the right of any party to sue for any breach by the other party (or parties).

 

9.4.          Fees
and Expenses. Except as expressly set forth in the Transaction Documents to the contrary, each party shall pay the fees and
expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident
to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all Transfer Agent
fees, stamp taxes and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale and issuance of the Preferred Shares.

 

    	27

    	 

    

 

The Company, whether or not the transactions
contemplated hereunder are consummated or this Agreement is terminated, in accordance with the provisions of Section
9.3  hereunder, will pay to Luxor Capital Group, LP, an Investor, on the Closing Date in immediately available funds to
an account designated in writing by it all reasonable and customary out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it and incident to the negotiation
and performance of its obligations hereunder, including reasonable fees and documented disbursements of its counsel (“Reimbursable
Expenses”), which Reimbursable Expenses, together with all Reimbursable Expenses (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement)
pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement, in the aggregate, will not exceed $200,000.

 

9.5.          Entire
Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the exhibits and schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of
the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with
respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules. At or after
the Closing, and without further consideration, the Company will execute and deliver to the Investors such further documents as
may be reasonably requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction Documents.

 

9.6.          Notices.
All notices, consents, approvals, waivers or other communications (each, a “Notice”) required or permitted hereunder,
except as herein otherwise specifically provided, shall be in writing and shall be: (i) delivered personally or by commercial
messenger; (ii) sent via a recognized overnight courier service, or (iii) sent by facsimile or e-mail transmission, provided confirmation
of receipt is received by sender and such Notice is sent or delivered contemporaneously by an additional method provided in this

9.13.          Execution.
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same
agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being
understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission
or email attachment, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such
signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email-attached signature page were an original thereof.

the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and

of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate affidavit of that fact
and an agreement to indemnify and hold harmless the Company for any losses in connection therewith. The applicants for a new certificate
or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement
Stock Certificates.

9.16.          Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of
the Investors and the Company will be entitled to seek specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree
that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in
the foregoing sentence and hereby agree to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation (other than in connection
with any action for a temporary restraining order) the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

9.17.          Payment
Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to any Investor hereunder or any Investor enforces or
exercises its rights hereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof
are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required
to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company by a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including,
without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any
such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force
and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.

 

9.18.          Adjustments
in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in Preferred Shares
(or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly Preferred Shares),
combination or other similar recapitalization or event occurring after the date hereof, each reference in any Transaction Document
to a number of shares or a price per share shall be amended to appropriately account for such event.

 

9.19.          Independent
Nature of Investors' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and
not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the
obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Documents. The decision of each Investor to purchase Preferred Shares pursuant
to this Agreement has been made by such Investor independently of any other Investor and independently of any information, materials,
statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition
(financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Investor or by any agent or
employee of any other Investor, and no Investor or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Investor
(or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions. Nothing contained herein
or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors
as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in
any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Document.
Each Investor acknowledges that no other Investor has acted as agent for such Investor in connection with making its investment
hereunder and that no other Investor will be acting as agent of such Investor in connection with monitoring its investment hereunder.
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 the 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.

SECTION 3.          
DIVIDENDS.

 

(a)               
The holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled to receive, when, as and if authorized by the Board of Directors
and declared by the Corporation out of funds legally available for that purpose, dividends payable in cash at a per share rate
per annum equal to 5.81% of the Face Amount (the “Annual Dividend Rate”). Such dividends shall be cumulative from the
Issue Date, whether or not in any Dividend Period or Periods there shall be funds of the Corporation legally available for the
payment of such dividends, and shall be payable monthly, when, as and if authorized and declared, in arrears on Dividend Payment
Dates, commencing on the first Dividend Payment Date after the Issue Date. Each such dividend shall be payable in arrears to the
holders of record of the Series C Preferred Shares, as they appear on the stock records of the Corporation at the close of business
on each record date, which shall not be more than 30 days preceding the applicable Dividend Payment Date (the “Dividend Payment
Record Date”), as shall be fixed by the Board of Directors. Accrued and unpaid dividends for any past Dividend Periods may
be authorized and declared and paid at any time, without reference to any regular Dividend Payment Date, to holders of record on
such date, which shall not be more than 45 days preceding the payment date thereof, as may be fixed by the Board of Directors.
The amount of accrued and unpaid dividends on any Series C Preferred Share at any date shall be the amount of any dividends thereon
calculated at the applicable rate to and including such date, whether or not earned or declared, which have not been paid in cash.

 

(b)              
The amount of dividends payable for each full Dividend Period for the Series C Preferred Shares shall be computed by dividing
the Annual Dividend Rate by twelve. The amount of dividends payable for the initial Dividend Period, or any other period shorter
or longer than a full Dividend Period, on the Series C Preferred Shares shall be computed on the basis of twelve 30-day months
and a 360-day year. Holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall not be entitled to any dividends, whether payable in cash, property
or stock, in excess of cumulative dividends, as herein provided, on the Series C Preferred Shares, except for any other amounts
provided herein.

 

(c)               
So long as any Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, no dividends, except as described in the immediately following
sentence, shall be authorized and declared and paid or set apart for payment on any series or class or classes of Parity Shares
for any period unless full cumulative dividends have been or contemporaneously are authorized and declared and paid or authorized
and declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart for such payment on the Series C Preferred Shares for all Dividend
Periods prior to the dividend payment date for such class or classes or series of Parity Shares. When dividends are not paid in
full or a sum sufficient for such payment is not set apart, as aforesaid, all dividends authorized and declared upon Series C Preferred
Shares and all dividends authorized and declared upon any other series or class or classes of Parity Shares shall be authorized
and declared ratably in proportion to the respective amounts of dividends accumulated and unpaid on the Series C Preferred Shares
and such class or classes or series of Parity Shares.

 

(d)              
So long as any Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, no dividends shall be authorized and declared and paid or set
apart for payment or other distribution authorized and declared and made upon Junior Shares (other than dividends or other distributions
(i) paid in respect of the Common Shares issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement or stock issued pursuant to the Contingent
Value Rights Agreement or (ii) paid solely in Junior Shares, or options, warrants or rights to subscribe for or purchase Junior
Shares), nor shall any Junior Shares be redeemed, purchased or otherwise acquired (other than (i) a redemption, purchase or other
acquisition of Common Shares made for purposes of and in compliance with requirements of an employee incentive or benefit plan
of the Corporation or any subsidiary or (ii) a purchase or other acquisition of Common Shares made in connection with the restrictions
on ownership and transfer set forth in Section 4.07 of the Charter), for any consideration (or any moneys to be paid to or made
available for a sinking fund for the redemption of any shares of such stock) by the Corporation, directly or indirectly (except
by conversion into or exchange for Junior Shares), unless in each case the full cumulative dividends on all outstanding Series
C Preferred Shares and any other Parity Shares shall have been paid or set apart for payment for all past Dividend Periods with
respect to the Series C Preferred Shares and all past dividend periods with respect to such Parity Shares.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

SECTION 4.          
LIQUIDATION PREFERENCE.

 

(a)               
In the event of any Liquidation, before any payment or distribution of the assets of the Corporation (whether capital or
surplus) shall be made to or set apart for the holders of Junior Shares, the holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled
(subject to the Continuation Right of such holders described below) to receive an amount equal to the greater of (i) (A) Fifteen
Dollars and Sixty-Seven Cents ($15.67) per Series C Preferred Share plus dividends (whether or not earned or declared) accrued
and unpaid thereon to the date of final distribution to such holder (the “Liquidation Preference”) plus (B) the Redemption
Premium or (ii) an amount per Series C Preferred Share equal to the amount that would have been payable had each Series C Preferred
Share been converted into Common Shares immediately prior to such Liquidation. The foregoing amounts shall be subject to equitable
adjustment whenever there shall occur a stock dividend, stock split, combination, reorganization, recapitalization, reclassification
or other similar event involving a change in the capital structure of the Series C Preferred Shares. Until the holders of the Series
C Preferred Shares have been paid the Liquidation Preference in full, no payment will be made to any holder of Junior Shares upon
Liquidation. If, upon any such Liquidation, the assets of the Corporation, or proceeds thereof, distributable among the holders
of Series C Preferred Shares shall be insufficient to pay in full the preferential amount aforesaid and liquidating payments on
any other shares of any class or series of Parity Shares, then such assets, or the proceeds thereof, shall be distributed among
the holders of such Series C Preferred Shares and such other Parity Shares ratably in accordance with the amounts that would be
payable on such Series C Preferred Shares and such other Parity Shares if all amounts payable thereon were paid in full.

 

In connection with
a Merger Liquidation (as defined below), each holder of Series C Preferred Shares shall have the right (a “Continuation Right”)
to elect, by delivering written notice to the Corporation not less than five Business Days prior to the Merger Liquidation, to
require the Corporation to make provision for the Series C Preferred Shares to be assumed by the surviving entity as described
in Section 7(e); provided, however, notwithstanding the election by any of the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares of the
Continuation Right, the Corporation shall have the right, in connection with any Merger Liquidation, to elect, by delivering written
notice to the holders of Series C Preferred Shares at any time prior to the Merger Liquidation, to redeem any or all of the outstanding
Series C Preferred Shares for an amount per Series C Preferred Share equal to the Liquidation Preference plus the Redemption Premium.
A “Merger Liquidation” shall be a Liquidation which constitutes a consolidation or merger of the Corporation with one
or more entities that are not affiliates of the Corporation and as a result of which the Corporation is not the Surviving Entity.
Upon a merger or consolidation of the Corporation with one or more entities that are affiliates of the Corporation, the Corporation
shall make provision for the Series C Preferred Shares to be assumed by the surviving entity as described in Section 7(e).

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

(b)              
Subject to the rights of the holders of any Parity Shares, upon any Liquidation of the Corporation, after payment shall
have been made in full to the holders of Series C Preferred Shares and any Parity Shares, as provided in this Section 4, any other
series or class or classes of Junior Shares shall, subject to the respective terms thereof, be entitled to receive any and all
assets remaining to be paid or distributed, and the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares and any Parity Shares shall not be
entitled to share therein.

 

SECTION 5.          
REDEMPTION

 

The Series C
Preferred Shares shall be redeemable by the Corporation subject to the provisions of this Section 5.

 

(a)               
Within three Business Days following the Redemption Trigger Date, the Corporation shall notify each holder of Series C Preferred
Shares in writing of its intent to redeem the Series C Preferred Shares (the “Redemption Notice”) or its intent to
convert the Series C Preferred Shares (the “Conversion Notice”) into Common Shares (the third Business Day following
the Redemption Trigger Date, the “Election Date”).

 

The Corporation shall
redeem for cash on the date specified in the Redemption Notice (which date shall be not more than ten (10) days after the date
of the Redemption Notice) (the “Redemption Date”), out of funds legally available therefor, all, but not less than
all, of the outstanding Series C Preferred Shares at a price per Series C Preferred Share equal to the Liquidation Preference plus
a premium (the “Redemption Premium”) equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Liquidation Preference.

 

(b)              
From and after the Redemption Date, (i) except as otherwise provided herein, dividends on the Series C Preferred Shares
so called for redemption shall cease to accrue, (ii) said shares shall no longer be deemed to be outstanding and (iii) all rights
of the holders thereof as holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall cease (except the rights to receive the cash payable upon
such redemption, without interest thereon, and to receive any dividends payable thereon). The Corporation’s obligation to
provide cash in accordance with the preceding sentence shall be deemed fulfilled if, on or before the Redemption Date, the Corporation
shall deposit with a bank or trust company (which may be an affiliate of the Corporation) that has an office in the Borough of
Manhattan, City of New York and that has, or is an affiliate of a bank or trust company that has, a capital and surplus of at least
$50,000,000, any cash necessary for such redemption, in trust, with irrevocable instructions that such cash be applied to the redemption
of the Series C Preferred Shares so called for redemption. No interest shall accrue for the benefit of the holder of Series C Preferred
Shares to be redeemed on any cash so set apart by the Corporation.

 

SECTION 6.         
REACQUIRED SHARES TO BE RETIRED. All Series C Preferred Shares that have been issued and reacquired in any manner by the
Corporation shall be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares of Preferred Stock, without designation as to class
or series.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

SECTION 7.     
     CONVERSION. Series C Preferred Shares shall automatically convert into Common Shares, as follows: 

 

(a)               
If the Corporation fails to send to the holders of Series C Preferred Shares a Redemption Notice or sends a Conversion Notice
as provided in Section 5(a), each Series C Preferred Share will automatically be converted into the number of fully paid and non-assessable
Common Shares obtained by dividing the aggregate Liquidation Preference of such Series C Preferred Shares by the Conversion Price.

 

(i)               
Holders of Series C Preferred Shares at the close of business on any Dividend Payment Record Date shall be entitled to receive
the dividend payable on such shares on the corresponding Dividend Payment Date notwithstanding the conversion thereof (and of any
accrued and unpaid dividends to the date of conversion) following such Dividend Payment Record Date and prior to such Dividend
Payment Date. A holder of Series C Preferred Shares on a Dividend Payment Record Date whose Series C Preferred Shares are converted
into Common Shares on such Dividend Payment Date will receive the dividend payable by the Corporation on such Series C Preferred
Shares on such date, and the converting holder need not pay to the Corporation the amount of such dividend upon conversion.

 

(b)              
Each conversion shall be deemed to have been effected immediately prior to the close of business on the Election Date, and
the person or persons in whose name or names any Common Shares shall be issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have become
the holder or holders of record of the Common Shares represented thereby at such time on such date, and such conversion shall be
at the Conversion Price in effect at such time and on such date unless the stock transfer books of the Corporation shall be closed
on that date, in which event such person or persons shall be deemed to have become such holder or holders of record at the close
of business on the next succeeding day on which such stock transfer books are open, but such conversion shall be at the Conversion
Price in effect on the date on which such notice of conversion shall have been received by the Corporation.

 

(c)               
No fractional shares or scrip representing fractions of Common Shares shall be issued upon conversion of the Series C Preferred
Shares. Instead of any fractional interest in a Common Share that would otherwise be deliverable upon the conversion of a Series
C Preferred Share, the Corporation shall pay to the holder of such Series C Preferred Share an amount in cash based upon the Current
Market Price of Common Shares on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of conversion. If more than one Series C Preferred
Share shall be converted at one time by the same holder, the number of full Common Shares issuable upon conversion thereof shall
be computed on the basis of the aggregate number of Series C Preferred Shares so surrendered.

  

(d)              
The Fixed Conversion Price shall be adjusted from time to time as follows:

 

(i)                
If, after the Issue Date, the Corporation (A) pays a dividend or make a distribution on its shares of capital stock in Common
Shares, (B) subdivides its outstanding Common Shares into a greater number of shares, (C) combines its outstanding Common Shares
into a smaller number of shares or (D) issues any shares of capital stock by reclassification of its Common Shares (the events
set forth in clauses (A), (B), (C) and (D) above being hereinafter referred to as the “Common Share Events”), the Fixed
Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that the holder of any Series C Preferred Share thereafter surrendered for conversion shall
be entitled to receive the number of Common Shares that such holder would have owned or have been entitled to receive after the
happening of any of any Common Share Event, had such Series C Preferred Share been converted immediately prior to the record date
in the case of a dividend or distribution or the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or reclassification.
An adjustment made pursuant to this subparagraph (i) shall become effective immediately upon the opening of business on the day
next following the record date (subject to paragraph (h) below) in the case of a dividend or distribution and shall become effective
immediately upon the opening of business on the day next following the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination
or reclassification.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

(ii)              
If, after the Issue Date, the Corporation issues rights, options or warrants to all holders of Common Shares entitling them
(for a period expiring within 45 days after the record date mentioned below in this subparagraph (ii)) to subscribe for or purchase
Common Shares at a price per share less than the Current Market Price per Common Share on the record date for the determination
of stockholders entitled to receive such rights, options or warrants, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be adjusted to equal
the price determined by multiplying (A) the Fixed Conversion Price by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the sum of
(I) the number of Common Shares outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (II) the number
of Common Shares that the aggregate proceeds to the Corporation from the exercise of such rights, options or warrants for Common
Shares would purchase at such Current Market Price, and the denominator of which shall be the sum of (I) the number of Common Shares
outstanding on the close of business on the date fixed for such determination and (II) the number of additional Common Shares offered
for subscription or purchase pursuant to such rights, options or warrants. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately upon
the opening of business on the day next following such record date (subject to paragraph (h) below). In determining whether any
rights, options or warrants entitle the holders of Common Shares to subscribe for or purchase Common Shares at less than such Current
Market Price, there shall be taken into account any consideration received by the Corporation upon issuance and upon exercise of
such rights, options or warrants, the value of such consideration, if other than cash, to be determined by the Board of Directors,
whose determination shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

 

(iii)            
If the Corporation distributes to all holders of its Common Shares any shares of capital stock of the Corporation (other
than Common Shares), evidence of its indebtedness or assets or cash dividends in excess of $0.11 in any month or rights or warrants
to subscribe for or purchase any of its securities (excluding those rights and warrants referred to in and treated under subparagraph
(ii) above) (any of the foregoing being hereinafter in this subparagraph (iii) called the “Securities”), then in each
case the Fixed Conversion Price shall be adjusted so that it shall equal the price determined by multiplying (A) the Fixed Conversion
Price by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Current Market Price per Common Share on the record date mentioned
below less the then fair market value (as determined by the Board of Directors, whose determination shall be conclusive, absent
manifest error) of the portion of the shares of capital stock or assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed or of such
rights or warrants applicable to one Common Share, and the denominator of which shall be the Current Market Price per Common Share
on the record date mentioned below. Such adjustment shall become effective immediately upon the opening of business on the day
next following (subject to paragraph (h) below) the record date for the determination of stockholders

    	 

    	 

    
 

 entitled to receive such
distribution. For the purposes of this subparagraph (iii), the distribution of a Security, which is distributed not only to the
holders of the Common Shares on the date fixed for the determination of stockholders entitled to such distribution of such Security,
but also is required to be distributed with each Common Share delivered to a Person converting a Series C Preferred Share after
such determination date, shall not require an adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price pursuant to this subparagraph (iii); provided
that on the date, if any, on which a person converting a Series C Preferred Share would no longer be entitled to receive such Security
with a Common Share (other than as a result of the termination of all such Securities), a distribution of such Securities shall
be deemed to have occurred, and the Fixed Conversion Price shall be adjusted as provided in this subparagraph (iii) (and such day
shall be deemed to be “the date fixed for the determination of the stockholders entitled to receive such distribution”
and “the record date” within the meaning of the two preceding sentences).

  

The occurrence of a
distribution or the occurrence of any other event as a result of which holders of Series C Preferred Shares shall not be entitled
to receive rights, including exchange rights (the “Rights”), pursuant to any stockholders protective rights agreement
(the “Agreement”) that may be adopted by the Corporation as if such holders had converted such shares into Common Shares
immediately prior to the occurrence of such distribution or event shall not be deemed a distribution of Securities for the purposes
of any Fixed Conversion Price adjustment pursuant to this subparagraph (iii) or otherwise give rise to any Fixed Conversion Price
adjustment pursuant to this Section 7; provided, however, that in lieu of any adjustment to the Fixed Conversion Price as a result
of any such a distribution or occurrence, the Corporation shall make provision so that Rights, to the extent issuable at the time
of conversion of any Series C Preferred Shares into Common Shares, shall issue and attach to such Common Shares then issued upon
conversion in the amount and manner and to the extent and as provided in the Agreement in respect of issuances at the time of Common
Shares other than upon conversion.

 

(iv)            
If, at any time or from time to time after the Issue Date, the Corporation issues
or sells any Common Shares (other than in connection with any underwritten public offering and issuances to unaffiliated third
parties for an acquisition on an arm’s-length basis) (“Additional Shares”) for a consideration per share that
is less than the Current Market Price on the Business Day immediately preceding the earlier of the issuance or sale, or public
announcement of the issuance or sale, of such Additional Shares, then the Fixed Conversion Price shall be reduced to an
amount determined by multiplying the Fixed Conversion Price by a fraction
of which (x) the numerator is the sum of (i) the product of (A) the number of Common Shares outstanding immediately prior to such
issuance or sale multiplied by (B) the greater of (1) the Fixed Conversion
Price and (2) the Closing Price on the date preceding the earlier of the issuance or sale or public announcement of the issuance
or sale of such Additional Shares (the greater of (1) and (2) above hereinafter referred to as the “Adjustment Price”)
and (ii) the aggregate consideration receivable by the Corporation for the total number of Common Shares so issued or sold, and
(y) the denominator equals the product of (i) the sum of (A) the total number of Common Shares
outstanding immediately prior to such issuance or sale and (B) the number of additional Common
Shares issued or sold, multiplied by (ii) the Adjustment Price. An adjustment made pursuant
to this subparagraph (iv) shall be made on the next Business Day
following the date on which any such issuance or sale is made and shall be effective retroactively to the close of business on
the date of such issuance or sale.

 

    	 

    	 

    

(v)              
No adjustment in the Fixed Conversion Price shall be required unless such adjustment would require a cumulative increase
or decrease of at least 1 % in such price; provided, however, that any adjustments that by reason of this subparagraph (v) are
not required to be made shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment until made; and provided,
further, that any adjustment shall be required and made in accordance with the provisions of this Section 7 (other than this subparagraph
(v)) not later than such time as may be required in order to preserve the tax-free nature of a distribution to the holders of Common
Shares. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 7, the Corporation shall not be required to make any adjustment of
the Fixed Conversion Price for the issuance of any Common Shares pursuant to any plan providing for the reinvestment of dividends
or interest payable on securities of the Corporation and the investment of additional optional amounts in Common Shares under such
plan. All calculations under this Section 7 shall be made to the nearest cent (with $.005 being rounded upward) or to the nearest
one-tenth of a share (with .05 of a share being rounded upward), as the case may be. Anything in this paragraph (d) to the contrary
notwithstanding, the Corporation shall be entitled, to the extent permitted by law, to make such reductions in the Fixed Conversion
Price, in addition to those required by this paragraph (d), as it in its discretion shall determine to be advisable in order that
any stock dividends, subdivision of shares, reclassification or combination of shares, distribution of rights, options or warrants
to purchase stock or securities, or a distribution of other assets (other than cash dividends) hereafter made by the Corporation
to its stockholders shall not be taxable.

 

(e)               
If the Corporation becomes party to any transaction (including without limitation a merger, consolidation, statutory share
exchange, self tender offer for all or substantially all Common Shares outstanding, sale of all or substantially all of the Corporation’s
assets or recapitalization of the Common Shares but excluding any Common Share Events (each of the foregoing being referred to
herein as a “Transaction”), in each case as a result of which Common Shares shall be converted into the right to receive
stock, securities or other property (including cash or any combination thereof), each Series C Preferred Share that is not redeemed
or converted into the right to receive stock, securities or other property in connection with such Transaction shall thereafter
be convertible into the kind and amount of shares of stock, securities and other property (including cash or any combination thereof)
receivable upon the consummation of such Transaction by a holder of that number of Common Shares into which one Series C Preferred
Share was convertible immediately prior to such Transaction, assuming such holder of Common Shares (i) is not a Person with which
the Corporation consolidated or into which the Corporation merged or which merged into the Corporation or to which such sale or
transfer was made, as the case may be (a “Constituent Person”), or an affiliate of a Constituent Person and (ii) failed
to exercise his or her rights of the election, if any, as to the kind or amount of stock, securities and other property (including
cash) receivable upon such Transaction (provided that if the kind or amount of stock, securities and other property (including
cash) receivable upon such Transaction is not the same for each Common Share held immediately prior to such Transaction by other
than a Constituent Person or an affiliate thereof and in respect of which such rights of election shall not have been exercised
(“Non-Electing Share”), then for the purpose of this paragraph (e) the kind and amount of stock, securities and other
property (including cash) receivable upon such Transaction by each Non-Electing Share shall be deemed to be the kind and amount
so receivable per share by a plurality of the Non-Electing Shares). The Corporation shall not be a party to any Transaction unless
the terms of such Transaction are consistent with the provisions of this paragraph (e), and it shall not consent or agree to the
occurrence of any Transaction until the Corporation has entered into an agreement with the successor or purchasing entity, as the
case may be, for the benefit of the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares that will contain provisions enabling the holders
of the Series C Preferred Shares that remain outstanding after such Transaction to convert their Series C Preferred Shares into
the consideration received by holders of Common Shares at the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such Transaction.
The provisions of this paragraph (e) shall similarly apply to successive Transactions.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

(f)               
If:

 

(i)               
the Corporation declares a dividend (or any other distribution) on the Common Shares (other than in cash out of assets,
based on a fair valuation of assets, in excess of the sum of the liabilities of the Corporation and the amount of stated capital
attributable to Common Shares, determined on the basis of the most recent annual consolidated cost basis and current value basis
and quarterly consolidated balance sheets of the Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries available at the time of the declaration
of the dividend or distribution); or

 

(ii)              
the Corporation grants to the holders of the Common Shares of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares
of any class or any other rights or warrants (other than Rights to which the second paragraph of subparagraph (d)(iii) of this
Section 7 applies); or

 

(iii)            
there shall occur any reclassification of the Common Shares (other than an event to which subparagraph (d) (i) of this Section
7 applies) or any consolidation or merger to which the Corporation is a party and for which approval of any stockholders of the
Corporation is required, or a statutory share exchange involving the conversion or exchange of Common Shares into securities or
other property, or a self tender offer by the Corporation for all or substantially all of its outstanding Common Shares, or the
sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation as an entirety and for which approval of any stockholders
of the Corporation is required; or

 

(iv)             there
shall occur the voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, then the
Corporation shall cause to be prepared and delivered to the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares at their addresses as
shown on the stock records of the Corporation, as promptly as possible, but at least 15 days prior to the applicable date
hereinafter specified, a notice stating (A) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend,
distribution or rights or warrants, or, if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Shares of
record to be entitled to such dividend, distribution or rights or warrants are to be determined or (B) the date on which such
reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, self tender offer, sale, transfer, liquidation,
dissolution or winding up is expected to become effective, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common
Shares of record shall be entitled to exchange their Common Shares for securities or other property, if any, deliverable upon
such reclassification, consolidation, merger, statutory share exchange, self tender offer, sale, transfer, liquidation,
dissolution or winding up. Failure to give or receive such notice or any defect therein shall not affect the legality or
validity of the proceedings described in this Section 7.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

(g)              
Whenever the Fixed Conversion Price is adjusted as herein provided, the Corporation shall promptly prepare and deliver
to the holders of the Series C Preferred Shares a notice of such adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price setting forth the adjusted
Fixed Conversion Price and the effective date of such adjustment and an officer’s certificate setting forth the Fixed Conversion
Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment. The Corporation shall
mail such notice and such certificate to the holders of each Series C Preferred Share at such holder’s last address as shown
on the stock records of the Corporation. 

 

(h)              
In any case in which paragraph (d) of this Section 7 provides that an adjustment shall become effective on the day next
following the record date for an event, the Corporation may defer until the occurrence of such event (A) issuing to the holder
of any Series C Preferred Share converted after such record date and before the occurrence of such event the additional Common
Shares issuable upon such conversion by reason of the adjustment required by such event over and above the Common Shares issuable
upon such conversion before giving effect to such adjustment and (B) paying to such holder any amount of cash in lieu of any fraction
pursuant to paragraph (c) of this Section 7.

 

(i)                
There shall be no adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price in case of the issuance of any shares of capital stock of the
Corporation in a reorganization, acquisition or other similar transaction except as specifically set forth in this Section 7. If
any action or transaction would require adjustment of the Fixed Conversion Price pursuant to more than one paragraph of this Section
7, only one adjustment shall be made, and such adjustment shall be the amount of adjustment that has the highest absolute value.

 

(j)                
If the Corporation takes any action affecting the Common Shares, other than action described in this Section 7, that in
the opinion of the Board of Directors would materially adversely affect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred
Shares, the Fixed Conversion Price for the Series C Preferred Shares may be adjusted, to the extent permitted by law, in such manner,
if any, and at such time, as the Board of Directors, in its sole discretion, may determine to be equitable in the circumstances.

 

(k)              
The Corporation will at all times reserve and keep available, free from preemptive rights, out of the aggregate of its authorized
but unissued Common Shares, for the purpose of effecting conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, the full number of Common
Shares deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding Series C Preferred Shares not theretofore converted. For purposes of
this paragraph (k), the number of Common Shares that shall be deliverable upon the conversion of all outstanding shares of Series
C Preferred Shares shall be computed as if at the time of computation all such outstanding shares were held by a single holder.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

Any Common Shares issued
upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. Before taking any action
that would cause an adjustment reducing the Conversion Price below the then-par value of the Common Shares deliverable upon conversion
of the Series C Preferred Shares, the Corporation shall take any corporate action that, in the opinion of its counsel, may be necessary
in order that the Corporation may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable Common Shares at such adjusted Conversion
Price.

 

The Corporation shall
endeavor to list the Common Shares required to be delivered upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, prior to such delivery,
upon each national securities exchange, if any, upon which the outstanding Common Shares are listed at the time of such delivery.

 

(l)                
The Corporation shall pay any and all documentary stamp or similar issue or transfer taxes payable in respect of the issue
or delivery of Common Shares or other securities or property on conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares pursuant hereto; provided,
however, that the Corporation shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the
issue or delivery of any Common Shares or other securities or property in a name other than that of the holder of the Series C
Preferred Shares to be converted, and no such issue or delivery shall be made unless and until the person requesting such issue
or delivery has paid to the Corporation the amount of any such tax or established, to the reasonable satisfaction of the Corporation,
that such tax has been paid.

 

(m)              
If the Fixed Conversion Price is adjusted from time to time in accordance with this Section 7 as the result of an event
that alters the number of outstanding Common Shares (or an event in connection with which the Company issues any rights, options
or warrants or other securities that, upon exercise or conversion (or otherwise), and such issuance would then alter the number
of outstanding Common Shares), then the number of Common Shares issuable hereunder shall be adjusted by multiplying (A) the Common
Shares issuable hereunder at such time by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the Fixed Conversion Price (prior to
such adjustment) and the denominator of which shall be the Fixed Conversion Price (following such adjustment).

 

SECTION 8.     
   PERMISSIBLE DISTRIBUTIONS. In determining whether a distribution (other than upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up),
whether by dividend, or upon redemption or other acquisition of shares or otherwise, is permitted under Maryland law, amounts that
would be needed, if the Corporation were to be dissolved at the time of the distribution, to satisfy the preferential rights upon
dissolution of holders of shares of any class or series of capital stock whose preferential rights upon dissolution are superior
or prior to those receiving the distribution shall not be added to the Corporation’s total liabilities.

 

SECTION 9.          
RANKING. Any class or series of shares of capital stock of the Corporation shall be deemed to rank:

 

(a)               
prior or senior to the Series C Preferred Shares, as to the payment of dividends and as to distribution of assets upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, if the holders of such class or series shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends or of amounts distributable
upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, as the case may be, in preference or priority to the holders of Series C Preferred
Shares (“Senior Shares”);

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

(b)              
on a parity with the Series A Preferred Shares, the Series B Preferred Shares and the Series C Preferred Shares, as to the
payment of dividends and as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, whether or not the dividend
rates, dividend payment dates or redemption or liquidation prices per share thereof be different from those of the Series A Preferred
Shares, the Series B Preferred Shares or the Series C Preferred Shares, if the holders of such class or series and the Series A
Preferred Shares, the Series B Preferred Shares and the Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled to the receipt of dividends
and of amounts distributable upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up in proportion to their respective amounts of accrued and
unpaid dividends per share or liquidation preferences, without preference or priority one over the other (“Parity Shares”);
and

 

(c)               
junior to the Series C Preferred Shares, as to the payment of dividends or as to the distribution of assets upon liquidation,
dissolution or winding up, if such stock or series shall be Common Shares or otherwise expressly designated as ranking junior to
the Series C Preferred Shares (“Junior Shares”).

 

SECTION 10. 
       VOTING.

 

(a)               
Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Series C Preferred Shares shall not have any relative, participating, optional
or other special voting rights and powers, and the consent of the holders thereof shall not be required for the taking of any corporate
action.

 

(b)              
So long as any Series C Preferred Shares are outstanding, in addition to any other vote or consent of stockholders required
by the Charter, the affirmative vote of at least a majority of the votes entitled to be cast by the holders of Series C Preferred
Shares; and at the time outstanding, voting as a single class, given in person or by proxy, either in writing without a meeting
or by vote at any meeting called for the purpose, shall be necessary for effecting or validating any amendment, alteration or repeal
of any of the provisions of the Charter, including the terms of the Series C Preferred Shares, that materially and adversely affects
the voting powers, rights or preferences of the Series C Preferred Shares; provided, however, that if there are more than two unaffiliated
holders of Series C Preferred Shares, such majority shall consist of votes from at least two unaffiliated holders provided further,
however, that (A) the amendment of the provisions of the Charter so as to authorize or create or to increase the number of the
authorized shares of, any Senior Shares, Parity Shares or Junior Shares shall not be deemed to materially and adversely affect
the voting powers, rights or preferences of the Series C Preferred Shares and (B) any filing with the SDAT by the Corporation in
connection with a merger, consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Corporation shall not be deemed
to be an amendment, alteration or repeal of any of the provisions of the Charter, including the terms of the Series C Preferred
Shares.

 

For purposes of the
foregoing provisions of this Section 10, each Series C Preferred Share shall have one (1) vote per share.

 

SECTION 11.       
RECORD HOLDERS. The Corporation may deem and treat the record holder of any Series C Preferred Shares as the true and lawful
owner thereof for all purposes, and the Corporation shall not be affected by any notice to the contrary.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

SECTION 12. 
      NO PREEMPTIVE RIGHTS. No holder of Series C Preferred Shares shall be entitled to any preemptive rights to subscribe for
or acquire any unissued Shares (whether now or hereafter authorized) or securities of the Corporation convertible into, or carrying
a right to subscribe to or acquire, Shares. 

 

SECTION 13. 
       RESTRICTIONS ON OWNERSHIP AND TRANSFER; EXCHANGE CAP.

 

(a)               
The Series C Preferred Shares are subject to all the limitations, terms and conditions of the Charter applicable to Shares
generally, including but not limited to the “Aggregate Share Ownership Limit” and the other terms and conditions (including
exceptions and exemptions) of Section 4.07 of the Charter.

 

(b)              
In no event will the aggregate number Common Shares issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement and upon conversion
of the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement exceed 19.9%
of the number Common Shares outstanding on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
(as appropriately adjusted for share splits, share dividends, combinations, recapitalizations and the like).

 

(c)               
Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein or in the Charter, the Corporation shall not be entitled to issue any
Common Shares upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, and no holder of Series C Preferred Shares shall have the right
to receive upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares any Common Shares, if the issuance of such Common Shares would exceed
the limit in Section 13(a) or (b) above (the “Exchange Cap”), and no holder shall be issued in the aggregate, pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement or upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, Common Shares in an amount greater than
the product of the Exchange Cap multiplied by the quotient of (1) (i) the Common Shares issued to such holder pursuant to the Securities
Purchase Agreement plus (ii) the Common Shares underlying the Series C Preferred Shares issued to such holder pursuant to
the Convertible Stock Purchase Agreement on the Issue Date divided by (2) (i) the aggregate number of Common Shares issued to pursuant
to the Securities Purchase Agreement plus (ii) the aggregate number of Common Shares underlying the Series C Preferred Shares
issued pursuant to the Convertible Stock Purchase Agreement on the Issue Date.

 

(d)              
In the event that the Corporation is prohibited from issuing Common Shares pursuant to Section 13(c) (the “Exchange
Cap Shares”), the Corporation shall pay, out of funds legally available therefor, cash in lieu of such Common Shares in an
amount equal to the greater of the product of such number of Exchange Cap Shares and (i) 102% of the Liquidation Preference and
(ii) the Conversion Price valued at the one-day VWAP of the Common Shares on the applicable date.

 

For the avoidance
of doubt, in the event a particular holder of Serices C Preferred Shares is subject to the limit in Section 13(a), the shares otherwise
issuable to such holder shall be available for issuance to the remaining holders of Series C Preferred Shares on a pro rata basis.
The foregoing provisions of this Section 13 shall not be construed to limit the applicability to the Series C Preferred Shares
of any other term or provision of the Charter.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

SECTION 14. 
       TAX MATTERS

 

(a)               
Not less than ten (10) days prior to (i) a redemption of the Series C Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 5(a), (ii) a
conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 7(a), or (iii) a payment of cash or the issuance of additional
shares of stock pursuant to the Contingent Value Rights Agreement, the Company shall give written notice to the holders of Series
C Preferred Shares. If (a) any holder of Series C Preferred Shares (or, in the case of a holder which is a partnership or disregarded
entity for U.S. federal income tax purposes, any direct or indirect partner, member or owner of such holder) (any such person,
a “Tax-Indemnified Person”) is advised by such Tax-Indemnified Person’s tax advisors to pay, or (b) the U.S.
taxing authorities seek to impose on any Tax-Indemnified Person, a tax pursuant to Section 897 of the Code in respect of (i) a
sale or other disposition (including a redemption or conversion) of such Series C Preferred Shares, or (ii) a payment of cash or
the issuance of additional shares pursuant to the Contingent Value Rights Agreement, the Company shall indemnify such Tax-Indemnified
Person, on an after-tax basis, for the amount of such tax, including any interest or penalties thereon.

 

(b)              
It is the intention of the parties that no payments or transactions with respect to the Series C Preferred Shares, any common
stock into which the Series C Preferred Shares have been converted, or any stock which has been issued in respect of the Contingent
Value Rights Agreement, other than cash dividends payable pursuant to Section 3(a), shall be treated for U.S. Federal income tax
purposes as a dividend. Accordingly

 

(i)               
In the event the Company treats (i) a payment in redemption of the Series C Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 5(a), (ii)
a conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 7(a), (iii) any payment or issuance of additional stock pursuant
to the Contingent Value Rights Agreement or (iv) any other payment, issuance of stock, or other transaction with respect to the
Series C Preferred Shares, any common stock into which the Series C Preferred Shares has been converted, or any stock which has
been issued in respect of the Contingent Value Rights Agreement, other than cash dividends payable pursuant to Section 3(a), as
a dividend for U.S. Federal income tax purposes (including, without limitation, as a result of the application of Sections 302
or 305 of the Code), then the Company shall pay to the holders of Series C Preferred Shares an additional amount such that the
net amount paid or issued, after any required withholding with respect to such payment or issuance and such additional amount,
shall be equal to the amount that would have been received by the direct or indirect holder of the Series C Preferred Stock had
withholding not been required.

 

(ii)              
In the event that (A) the United States taxing authorities successfully take the position that (i) a payment in redemption
of the Series C Preferred Shares pursuant to Section 5(a), (ii) a conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares pursuant to Section
7(a), (iii) any payment or issuance of additional stock pursuant to the Contingent Value Rights Agreement or (iv) any other payment,
issuance of stock, or other transaction with respect to the Series C Preferred Shares, any common stock into which the Series C
Preferred Shares have been converted, or any stock which has been issued in respect of the Contingent Value Rights Agreement, other
than cash dividends payable pursuant to Section 3(a), should be treated for U.S. Federal income tax purposes as a dividend (including,
without limitation, as a result of the application of Sections 302 or 305 of the Code), (B) Section 14(c)(i) a does not apply,
then the Company shall indemnify the direct or indirect holders of Series C Preferred Shares, on an after-tax basis, for the withholding
tax actually imposed on such holders in respect of such dividend.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

SECOND: The Series
C Preferred Shares have been classified and designated by the Board of Directors under the authority contained in the Charter.

 

THIRD: These Articles
Supplementary have been approved by the Board of Directors in the manner and by the vote required by law.

 

FOURTH: The undersigned

Exhibit E

 

FORM OF CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS AGREEMENT

 

 

This CONTINGENT VALUE RIGHTS AGREEMENT
(this “Agreement”), dated as of June [__], 2013, is by and among American Realty Capital Properties, Inc., a
Maryland corporation (the “Company”), and the holder set forth on the signature page hereto (together with
their successor and their permitted assigns, the “Holder”).

 

WHEREAS, in connection with the
issuance by the Company of 28,398,213 shares of the Company’s Series C Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Series
C Preferred Stock”) on the date hereof pursuant to that certain Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated
as of June 4, 2013 (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”), by and among the Company and the investors party thereto
(the “Investors”), the Company is obligated to issue 28,398,213 contingent value rights subject to the terms
and conditions contained herein (each such right, a “Contingent Value Right”), including [______] Contingent
Value Rights to the Holder (which initially is an Investor) pursuant to this Agreement. Capitalized terms used but not defined
in this Agreement shall have the respective meanings assigned thereto in the Stock Purchase Agreement.

 

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

 

		1)	Definitions. In addition to the terms defined elsewhere in this Agreement, the following terms
have the meanings indicated:

 

“Articles” means
the Articles Supplementary for the Series C Preferred Stock.

 

“Test Date” means the
121st trading day following the Election Date (as defined in the Articles).

 

“VWAP” means the dollar
volume-weighted average price for the Common Stock on its Trading Market during the period beginning at 9:30:01 a.m., New York
time (or such other time as the Trading Market publicly announces is the official open of trading), and ending at 4:00:00 p.m.,
New York time (or such other time as the Trading Market publicly announces is the official close of trading), as reported by Bloomberg,
L.P. through its “Volume at Price” function or, if the foregoing does not apply, the dollar volume-weighted average
price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security during the period beginning
at 9:30:01 a.m., New York time (or such other time as the Trading Market publicly announces is the official open of trading), and
ending at 4:00:00 p.m., New York City Time (or such other time as the Trading Market publicly announces is the official close
of trading), as reported by Bloomberg, L.P., or, if no dollar volume-weighted average price is reported for such security by Bloomberg,
L.P. for such hours, the average of the highest closing bid price and the lowest closing ask price of any of the market makers
for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.).
If the VWAP cannot be calculated for the Common Stock on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the VWAP of the Common
Stock shall be the fair market value of the Common Stock on such date as determined by the Company’s Board of Directors in
good faith.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

		2)	Contingent Value Rights. In the event the Company converts (regardless of whether any such
shares are actually converted pursuant to Section 13 of the Articles Supplementary) the shares of Series C Preferred Stock into
Common Stock pursuant to the terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement and the Articles, then:

 

(a)   
On the Test Date, the Company shall calculate the VWAP per Common Share for the period covering the 90th through
the 120th trading days after the Election Date (as defined in the Articles) (the “CVR Period VWAP”).

 

(b)  
Within five (5) Business Days following the Test Date, the Company shall pay to the Holder, in immediately available funds
to an account designated in writing by such Holder, the amount, if any, with respect to each share of the Common Stock into which
shares of Series C Preferred Stock were converted (regardless of whether any such shares are actually converted pursuant to Section
13 of the Articles Supplementary) (“Common Shares”) held by such Holder (and/or its assignees) on the Test Date
equal to: (i) the number of Common Shares held by such Investor at the close of business on the Test Date multiplied by
(ii) the amount (the “Settlement Amount”), which shall not be less than zero nor greater than $2.00, equal to
the difference between (A) the Conversion Price (as defined in the Articles) (as may be adjusted from time to time pursuant to
Section 7 of the Articles) and (B) the CVR Period VWAP.

 

(c)   
If the number of shares of Common Stock is adjusted upon the occurrence of any event that would have resulted in the adjustment
of the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in the Articles Supplementary), the number of Contingent Value Rights shall be adjusted
proportionately.

 

		3)	Termination. This Agreement shall terminate and no Holder shall have any rights hereunder (to payment or otherwise)
upon (i) the payment by the Company of the Settlement Amount, if any, due to the Holder pursuant to Section 2 or (2)
the redemption of the Series C Preferred Stock in accordance with Section 5 of the Articles Supplementary.
	 	 	 
		4)	Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted
assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of
the Holder. Any Holder may assign all or a portion of its rights under this Agreement to any Person, provided (i) such transferee
is a “qualified institutional buyer” (as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities
Act”), (ii) such transferor agrees in writing with the transferee or assignee to assign such rights, and a copy of such
agreement is furnished to the Company after such assignment, (iii) the Company is furnished with written notice of the name and
address of such transferee or assignee, (iv) such transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions hereof that apply
to the “Holder”, (v) such transfer shall have been made pursuant to the safe harbor for the resale of restricted securities
provided by Rule 144A under the Securities Act provided, however, that for purposes of this clause (v): (1) this Agreement or any
rights or obligations hereunder shall be deemed not to be the same class of securities as the Common Stock for purposes of Rule
144A(d)(3)(i) and (2) if the Company as the “issue” does not meet the requirements of Rule 144A(d)(4), then this Agreement
or any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned pursuant to any other exemption from registration under the Securities Act
and (vi) such transfer shall have been made pursuant to and in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement and
with all laws applicable thereto.

 

    	 

    	 

    
 

 

		5)	No Rights as Shareholders. This Agreement shall not entitle the Holder (or its successors or permitted assigns)
to any voting rights or other rights as a stockholder of the Company.
	 	 	 
		6)	Incorporation of Certain Sections By Reference. The following sections from the Stock Purchase Agreement shall be deemed
incorporated by reference into this Agreement, with appropriate changes as the context requires: Sections 9.6, 9.7, 9.8, 9.10,
9.11, 9.13, 9.14, 9.16 and 9.19.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

 

The selling stockholders
may, from time to time, sell any or all of the shares of our common stock beneficially owned by them and offered hereby directly
or through one or more underwriters, broker-dealers or agents. The selling stockholders will be responsible for any underwriting
discounts or agent’s commissions. The 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. The selling stockholders
may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

		·	on NASDAQ or any other 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;

 

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

 

		·	through 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;

 

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

 

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

 

		·	in privately negotiated transactions;

 

		·	through the settlement of short sales;

 

		·	a combination of any such methods of sale; and

 

		·	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

    	 

    	 

    

 

The selling stockholders also may sell shares
under Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, rather than under this prospectus
supplement.

 

In addition, the selling stockholders may
enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers which may engage in short sales of shares in the course of hedging the positions
they assume with the selling stockholders. The selling stockholders also may sell shares short and deliver the shares to close
out such short position. The selling stockholders also may enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers that require
the delivery by such broker-dealers of the shares, which shares may be resold thereafter pursuant to this prospectus supplement.

 

Broker-dealers engaged by the selling stockholders
may arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in sales. If the selling stockholders effect such transactions through underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents, such underwriters, broker-dealers or agents may receive compensation in the form of discounts, concessions
or commissions from the selling stockholders or commissions from purchasers of the shares of our common stock for whom they may
act as agent or to whom they may sell as principal, or both (which discounts, concessions or commissions as to particular underwriters,
broker-dealers or agents may be less than or in excess of those customary in the types of transactions involved).

 

The selling stockholders and any broker-dealers
or agents that are involved in selling the shares may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities
Act in connection with such sales. In such event, any compensation received by such broker-dealers or agents and any profit on
the resale of the shares purchased by them may be deemed to be underwriting commissions or discounts under the Securities Act.
While neither we nor any selling stockholder can presently estimate the amount of such compensation, if applicable, in compliance
with the guidelines of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc., or FINRA, the aggregate maximum discount, commission,
agency fees or other items constituting underwriting compensation to be received by any FINRA member or independent broker-dealer
will not exceed 8% of any offering pursuant to this prospectus supplement or pricing supplement, as the case may be. However, it
is anticipated that the maximum commission or discount to be received in any particular offering of securities will be less than
this amount.

 

We have agreed to indemnify the selling
stockholders against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act. The selling stockholders may
agree to indemnify any agent, dealer or broker-dealer that participates in transactions involving sales of shares of common stock
against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.

 

Because selling stockholders may be deemed
to be “underwriters” within the meaning of Section 2(a)(11) of the Securities Act, the selling stockholders will be
subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, which may include delivery through the facilities of NASDAQ
pursuant to Rule 153 under the Securities Act.

 

The selling stockholders will be subject
to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, including Regulation M promulgated thereunder, which may
limit the timing of purchases and sales of common stock by the selling stockholders and their affiliates.

 

    	-2-

    	 

    

 

Upon being notified by a selling stockholder
that any material arrangement has been entered into with a broker-dealer or underwriter for the sale of shares of common stock
through a block trade, special offering, exchange distribution or secondary distribution or a purchase by a broker or dealer, we
will file a supplement to this prospectus supplement, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, disclosing
(i) the name of each such selling stockholder and of the participating broker-dealer(s) or underwriter(s), (ii) the number of shares
of common stock involved, (iii) the price at which such shares were or will be sold, (iv) the commissions paid or to be paid or
discounts or concessions allowed to such broker-dealer(s) or underwriter(s), where applicable, (v) that, as applicable, such broker-dealer(s)
or underwriter(s) did not conduct any investigation to verify the information set out or incorporated by reference in this prospectus
supplement or the accompanying prospectus and (iv) other facts material to the transaction.

 

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

zero nor greater than $1.50, equal to the difference between (A) the Purchase Price and (B) the CVR Period VWAP.

 

(c)   
If the number of shares of Common Stock is adjusted upon the occurrence of any event that would have resulted in the adjustment
of the Fixed Conversion Price (as defined in the Articles Supplementary), the number of Contingent Value Rights shall be adjusted
