      AGREEMENT

       

      SECTION  1

       

      PUT
RIGHT

       

      1.1 Put
Right.  Upon receipt by WaferGen US of a written request from a
Holder of Holder’s desire to exercise the Holder’s Put Right (a “Holder’s Put Notice”), then
all, but not less than all, of such Holder’s Series B Shares shall be exchanged
as described in Section 1.2 below (the “Exchange”).  For the
avoidance of doubt, each Holder shall have the right to exercise such Put Right
individually.  After delivery of such Holder’s Put Notice, the Holder
shall deliver all of such Holder’s share certificates and duly executed share
transfer forms with respect to such Series B Shares to the Secretary of WaferGen
US (or to his/her order) as promptly as practicable (but in no event more than
30 days after the date thereof) and take any other actions reasonably
required to effectuate the transfer of all such Holder’s Series B Shares to
WaferGen US. WaferGen US may nominate its nominee(s) to accept the transfer of
the Series B Shares. WaferGen US shall be required to comply with the
requirements of this paragraph until the fifth anniversary of the date of this
Agreement, but may in its sole discretion comply with provisions of this
paragraph after such date.

       

      
        
          
             

          

           

        

        
          1

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

       

      1.2 The Exchange; No Fractional
Shares.

       

      (a)           Upon
the occurrence of an Exchange, each of the Holder’s Series B Shares subject to
such Holder’s Put Notice shall be converted into the right to receive that
number of Exchange Securities equal to the U.S. dollar equivalent of the
original purchase or subscription price per share paid for each such Holder’s
Series B Share (with such conversion to U.S. dollars being calculated as of the
date of purchase and equaling USD $2.25 on the date of
purchase)  pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, divided by the Exchange
Price (in each case as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalization, combinations
and similar transactions).

       

      (b)           Notwithstanding
Section 1.2(a) above, if the Holder’s Put Notice is delivered to WaferGen US on
or after August 1, 2010, the Holder’s Series B Shares shall convert into the
right to receive the following number of Exchange Securities:

       

      (i)           If
during the ten-day trading period immediately prior to the date on which the
Company receives the Holder’s Put Notice the average closing price of WaferGen
US’s shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or stock exchange on which
such shares are listed at such time (to the extent such shares are then listed)
is less than USD $2.647 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
recapitalization, combinations and similar transactions), then each of the
Holder’s Series B Shares subject to such Holder’s Put Notice shall be converted
into the right to receive that number of Exchange Securities equal to the U.S.
dollar equivalent of the original purchase or subscription price per share paid
for each such Holder’s Series B Share (with such conversion to U.S. dollars
being calculated as of the date of purchase and equaling USD $2.25 on the date
of purchase) pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, divided by the Adjusted
Exchange Price (in each case as adjusted for stock splits, recapitalization,
combinations and similar transactions).

       

      (ii)           If
during the ten-day trading period immediately prior to the date on which the
Company receives the Holder’s Put Notice the average closing price of WaferGen
US’s shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or stock exchange on which
such shares are listed at such time (to the extent such shares are then listed)
is equal to or exceeds USD $2.647 per share (as adjusted for stock splits,
recapitalization, combinations and similar transactions), then each of the
Holder’s Series B Shares subject to such Holder’s Put Notice shall be converted
into the right to receive that number of Exchange Securities as set forth in
Section 1.2(a).

       

      (c)           All
Exchange Securities shall be aggregated and issued to such Holder, except that
no fractional shares of Exchange Securities shall be issued upon the occurrence
of an Exchange.  If, after the aforementioned aggregation, the
conversion would result in the issuance of any fractional share, WaferGen US
shall, in lieu of issuing any fractional share, pay cash equal to the product of
such fraction multiplied by the per share fair market value of the Exchange
Securities (as determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of WaferGen
US).

      (d)           Subject
to the delivery by the Holder of its share certificates and other documents to
WaferGen US as required hereby, upon the occurrence of the Exchange, WaferGen US
shall as soon as practicable (but in no event more than 30 days after the date
of the Exchange) issue to such Holder share certificates representing the
Exchange Securities.

       

      1.3 Rights After
Exchange.  From and after the applicable Exchange, all rights
of the Holder with respect to the exchanged Holder’s Series B Shares shall cease
with respect to such shares (except the right to receive the Exchange
Securities, and any cash payment for fractional shares, without interest upon
surrender of their certificate or certificates), and such shares shall be owned
legally and beneficially by WaferGen US for all purposes and will be transferred
to WaferGen US on the books and records of the Company.

       

      1.4 Rights After
Conversion.  If at any time any or all of Holder’s Series B
Shares are converted into Ordinary Shares of the Company for any reason, such
Holder’s Put Right pursuant to this Agreement with respect to all of such
Holder’s Series B Shares shall terminate and expire in its entirety upon such
conversion, and such Holder shall have not have any Put Right with respect to
any Ordinary Shares held by such Holder.

      2.10 Titles and
Subtitles.  The titles of the sections and subsections of this
Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in
construing this Agreement.

       

      2.11 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be
an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
instrument.

       

      2.12 Definitions.  For
purposes of this Agreement, the terms below shall have the definitions ascribed
to them below:

       

      2.12.1 The
“Adjusted Exchange
Price” shall be equal to the product of (x) the average closing price of
WaferGen US’s shares of Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or stock exchange
on which such shares are listed at such time (to the extent such shares are then
listed) for the ten-day trading period immediately prior to the date on which
the Company receives the Holder’s Put Notice and (y) 0.85.

       

      2.12.2 “Common Stock” means the common
stock, par value $0.001 per share, of WaferGen US.

       

      2.12.3 The
“Exchange Price” shall
be equal to USD $2.25 per share.

       

      2.12.4 “Exchange Securities” shall
mean shares of Common Stock of WaferGen US.

       

      2.13 Certain
Restrictions.  Each Holder understands that any shares of
Common Stock of WaferGen US to be received in an Exchange may be characterized
as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they
would be acquired from WaferGen US in a transaction not involving a public
offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations, such securities
may be resold without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the “Act”), only in certain limited circumstances.  In this regard,
the Holder represents that it is familiar with Rule 144 under the Act, as
presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and
by the Act.  WaferGen US hereby agrees to use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause any shares of Common Stock of WaferGen US received
in an Exchange to be registered for resale under the Act as soon as practicable
following such Exchange.  Absent such registration, the Holder
understands that any shares of Common Stock of WaferGen US received in an
Exchange will not have been registered under the Act, and thus the Holder will
not be able to resell or otherwise transfer any such shares of Common Stock
unless they are registered under the Act or an exemption from such registration
or qualification is available.

       

      2.14 Transfer
Taxes.  All excise, transfer, stamp, documentary, filing,
recordation and other similar taxes which may be imposed or assessed as the
result of any Exchange, together with any interest, additions or penalties with
respect thereto and any interest in respect of such additions or penalties,
shall be borne equally by WaferGen US and the Holder consummating such
Exchange.

in order to induce the Investor to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the
Founder has agreed to grant to the Investor an option to put (the “Put Right”) to the Founder the
Series B Shares purchased by the Investor pursuant to the Purchase Agreement
upon the occurrence of a Triggering Event, as such term is defined
below.

       

      NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, representations, warranties,
covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties mutually agree
as follows:

       

      AGREEMENT

       

      SECTION  1

       

      PUT
OPTION

       

      1.1           Grant of Put
Option.  Upon receipt by the Investor of written notice by the
Founder of a Triggering Event, the Investor shall have the option (the “Put Option”) to require the
Founder to purchase from the Investor, subject to the conditions set forth in
this Agreement, all of the Series B Shares initially purchased by the Investor
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement or the number of Series B Shares then held by
the Investor, whichever is less (the “Put Shares”), at a per share
purchase price equal to $5.625 (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends
and similar recapitalizations or reorganizations) (the “Put Option
Price”).  In order to exercise such Put Option, the Investor
must deliver written notice to the Founder of the Investor’s election to
exercise the Put Option in accordance with Section 1.3 of this Agreement within
15 days of the date on which the Investor receives written notice of the
Triggering Event from the Founder.

      
        
          
             

          

           

        

        
          1

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      1.2           Notice of Triggering
Event.  The Founder shall provide the Investor written notice
of a Triggering Event within seven days of the date on which the Triggering
Event occurs.  A “Triggering Event” shall occur
when any of the following events shall occur: (i) the Founder sells or
transfers, prior to December 31, 2010, in one or more transactions, greater than
2,603,425 shares of Common Stock of WaferGen US (which amount equals
approximately 80% of the shares of Common Stock of WaferGen US owned by the
Founder on the date hereof) to one or more Third Parties, (ii) the Founder
voluntarily resigns from the Board of Directors of WaferGen US and such
resignation is not approved by, or is not pursuant to a restructuring of the
Company or WaferGen US approved by, holders of a majority of the outstanding
Series A Shares at the time of such resignation, or (iii) the Founder is
convicted of a felony involving fraud or dishonesty, provided that the Founder
was actively involved in the management of the Company at the time at which any
such crime was committed.  For purposes of this Section 1.2, (i)
“Third Party” means any
person or entity other than the Founder’s Affiliates (as defined below), or the
relatives (by blood or marriage) of the Founder or the Founder’s Affiliates;
provided, however, that in the event of any transfer or sale of any shares by
the Founder to the Founder’s Affiliates or the relatives of the Founder or the
Founder’s Affiliates (such person or entity, a “Transferee”), such Transferee
shall agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect
to such Put Shares; and “Affiliate” means, with respect
to a person or entity, any other person or entity directly or indirectly
controlling, controlled by, or under common control with such person or
entity.

       

      1.3           Manner of
Exercise.  The Investor shall exercise the Put Option by giving
an irrevocable written notice to the Founder, within 15 days of the date on
which the Investor receives written notice of the Triggering Event from the
Founder, that the Investor elects to exercise such Put Option upon the terms and
subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement.  

      

      1.4           Closing and
Payment.  The closing of the purchase and sale of the Put
Shares shall occur on the date designated in writing by the Founder to the
Investor, which date shall be within 120 days following the date upon which the
Founder received the written notice from the Investor that the Investor was
electing to exercise the Put Option.  The aggregate Put Option Price
shall be payable to the Investor by the Founder by wire transfer of immediately
available funds on the closing date to an account designated in writing by the
Investor or by delivery of a certified or cashiers’ check by the Founder to the
Investor, in each case against the Founder’s receipt of the Investor’s share
certificates of the Put Shares and share transfer forms duly executed by the
Investor for the transfer of the Put Shares to the Founder or any other nominee
of the Founder.

      

      1.5           Rights After
Closing.  From and after the closing of the purchase of the Put
Shares by the Founder, all rights of the Investor with respect to the Put Shares
shall cease, and such shares shall be owned legally and beneficially by the
Founder for all purposes and will be transferred to the Founder on the books and
records of the Company.

       

      1.6           Partial
Purchase.  The Founder shall not be obligated to purchase the
Put Shares if the Founder shall be unable to do so without a breach or violation
of the provisions of applicable law or the certificate of incorporation or
bylaws of WaferGen US as in effect on such date.  If the Founder
is unable to purchase all of the Put Shares at one time due to any such
restriction, the Founder shall purchase such securities as the Founder is able
without a breach or violation of applicable law or the certificate of
incorporation or bylaws of WaferGen US, and the Founder shall use reasonable
efforts to remove any such limitations upon the Founder’s ability to effect such
purchase. 

      
        
          
             

          

           

        

        
          2

          
            

          

        

        
           

        

      

      

      1.7           Termination of Put Option
Agreement.  This Agreement shall terminate immediately prior to
the earlier to occur of the following (the “Put Option Termination
Date”):

      

      (a)           December
31, 2010;

      

      (b)           an
IPO (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of the Company;

      

      (c)           the
sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or WaferGen US, or
the consolidation or merger of the Company or WaferGen US with or into any other
business entity pursuant to which shareholders of the Company or WaferGen US, as
applicable, prior to such consolidation or merger hold less than 50% of the
voting equity of the surviving or resulting entity;

      

      (d)           the
liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the business operations of the Company
or WaferGen US;

      

      (e)           the
execution by the Company or WaferGen US of a general assignment for the benefit
of creditors or the appointment of a receiver or trustee to take possession of
the property and assets of the Company or WaferGen US; and

      

      (f)           the
termination of the Founder’s employment with WaferGen US by the board of
directors of WaferGen US for any reason.

      

      1.8           No Re-Exercise of Put
Right.  In the event the Investor fails to exercise the Put
Option pursuant to the requirements of this Agreement in connection with a
Triggering Event, the Investor shall not thereafter have the ability to
re-exercise such Put Option to the extent a subsequent Triggering Event
occurs.
