Agreement which collectively aggregate to the entire principal amount of the Notes; and

 

WHEREAS,
the Company desires to issue and sell to the Investors and the Investors desire to purchase from the Company, upon the terms and

NOW,
THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for other good and valuable consideration,

Section
1.              Agreement to Sell and Purchase the Securities; Purchase Price.

 

1.1           Subject

Investor’s respective portion of the Purchase Price in respect of the Securities being purchased at such Closing set forth

3.1           Conditions
Precedent to Obligations of the Investors and the Company on the Closing Date. The Company’s obligation to issue the
applicable Securities at the applicable Closing and the obligation of each of the Investors to purchase and pay for the applicable
Securities to be sold to it at the applicable Closing are subject to the fulfillment prior to or at the applicable Closing of
the following conditions, any or all of which may be waived in writing at the option of both the Company and each of the Investors:

 

(a)          Legal
Investment. On the applicable Closing Date, the purchase of the applicable Securities by the Investors shall not be enjoined
(temporarily or permanently) under, prohibited by or contrary to any injunction, order or decree applicable to the Investors.

 

3.2           Conditions
Precedent to Obligations of the Investors on the Closing Date. The obligation of each Investor to purchase and pay for the
Securities to be sold to it at the applicable Closing is subject to the fulfillment prior to or at the applicable Closing of the
following conditions, any or all of which may be waived in writing at the option of the Investors:

 

(a)          Representations
and Warranties. The Specified Representations (other than those that relate to a particular date or period earlier than the
applicable Closing Date) disregarding all qualifications and exceptions contained therein relating to materiality or Material
Adverse Effect shall be true and correct in all material respects at the time of the applicable Closing, except that any representation
or warranty that relates to a particular date or period earlier than the applicable Closing Date shall have been true in all material
respects as of such date or period. For the avoidance of doubt, even though it is not a condition to the applicable Closing, the
failure of any representations and warranties to be true and correct shall nevertheless be subject to indemnification in accordance
with Section 9.1.

The Company or the other applicable parties shall have delivered to the Investors the deliverables contemplated in Section
2.2.

The Merger shall have been consummated or will be consummated in accordance with the Merger Agreement; provided that no amendment,
modification or waiver of any term thereof or consent to any term thereto or of or with respect to any condition to the Company’s
obligation to consummate the Merger thereunder (other than any such amendment, modification, waiver or consent that is not materially
adverse to the interests of the Investor) shall be made or granted, as the case may be, without the prior written consent of each
Investor (it being understood that (i) any price decrease of the Merger of less than 10% shall not, in and of itself, be deemed
to be materially adverse to the interests of the Investors to the extent such reduction is applied to reduce the Purchase Price
and the Debt Financing on a pro rata basis and (ii) any increase in purchase price shall not be materially adverse to the interests
of the Investors to the extent such increase is funded by an increase in the Debt Financing).

 

(e)          Financing.
The Company shall have received, or substantially simultaneously with the Initial Closing shall receive, the proceeds of the Debt
Financing (of which up to $150,000,000 may be comprised of debt or equity securities as contemplated by Debt Financing Documents
but which shall not include any equity senior to the Preferred Shares, or any parity equity that is not perpetual or any parity
equity that is common equity-linked).

 

    	4

    	 

    

 

(f)          Material
Adverse Effect. Since the date of the Commitment Letter, there shall have been no event, change, effect or circumstance which,
individually or in the aggregate has had, or would reasonably be expected to result in, a Company Material Adverse Effect.

 

(h)          COD.
The Company shall have filed the COD with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware and the COD shall have been declared
effective.

 

(i)          HSR

to a particular date or period earlier than the applicable Closing Date) disregarding all qualifications and exceptions contained
therein relating to materiality shall be true and correct in all material respects at the time of the applicable Closing, except
that any representation or warranty that relates to a particular date or period earlier than the applicable Closing Date shall
have been true in all material respects as of such date or period. For the avoidance of doubt, even though it is not a condition
to the applicable Closing, the failure of any representations and warranties to be true and correct shall nevertheless be subject
to indemnification in accordance with Section 9.1.

 

(b)          Deliverables.
The Investors shall have delivered to the Company the deliverables contemplated in Section 2.3.

 

Section
4.              Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company
hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof (except for the representations and warranties that speak as of a specific
date, which shall be made as of such date) to the Investors as follows:

 

4.1           Organization
and Qualification. Each Company Party is an entity duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of
the jurisdiction of its incorporation, with the requisite power and legal authority to own and use its properties and assets and
to carry on its business as currently conducted. Each Company Party is not in violation of any of the provisions of its certificate
or articles of incorporation, bylaws or other organizational or charter documents (the “Charter Documents”).
Each Company Party 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 aggregate, have or reasonably be
expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

 

    	5

    	 

    

 

4.2           Authorization;
Enforcement. Each Company Party 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. The execution and delivery of each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party by each Company Party and
the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate
action on the part of such Company Party and no further consent or action is required by such Company Party, its Board of Directors,
members, managers or its stockholders (as applicable). Each of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party has been (or upon
delivery will be) duly executed by each Company Party and is, or when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute,
the valid and binding obligation of such Company Party enforceable against such Company Party 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 each Company Party is a party and
the consummation by such Company Party of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not, and will not, (i) conflict
with or violate any provision of the 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 such Company Party under the terms or conditions of, any agreement,
credit facility, debt or other instrument (evidencing such Company Party’s debt or otherwise) or other understanding to
which such Company Party is a party or by which any property or asset of such Company Party 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 such Company Party 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 such Company Party or its securities
are subject, including all applicable Trading Markets), or by which any property or asset of such Company Party is bound or affected,
except to the extent that such violation would not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

4.4           Securities.
The Convertible Securities, the Purchased Common Shares and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible
Securities are duly authorized and, when issued and paid for in accordance with the applicable Transaction Documents, will be
duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, free and clear of all Liens and will not be subject to preemptive or similar
rights of stockholders (other than those imposed by the Investor). No vote of any class or series of capital stock of or any equity
interests in the Company is necessary to approve the issuance of the Convertible Securities, the Purchased Common Shares or the
shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Securities.

 

    	6

    	 

    

 

4.5           Capitalization.
The authorized, issued and outstanding capital stock of the Company as of February 14, 2014 is as set forth in the Company’s
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 and filed with the SEC on February 28, 2014. As of the date hereof,
(i) 26,514,709 shares of Class A Common Stock, $0.001 par value, are issued and outstanding and (ii) 1 share of Class B
Common Stock, $0.001 par value (the “Class B Common Stock”), are issued and outstanding. As of the date
hereof, and as of the applicable Closing Date, all outstanding shares of capital stock are duly authorized, validly issued, fully
paid and nonassessable and have been issued in compliance in all material respects with all applicable securities laws. Except
as disclosed in the SEC Reports filed prior to the date hereof, the Company did not have outstanding at December 31, 2013
any other Options, script rights to subscribe to, calls or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities,
rights or obligations convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or entered into any agreement giving any Person any
right to subscribe for or acquire, any of the Securities, or securities or rights convertible or exchangeable into the Securities.
Except as disclosed in SEC Reports, and except for customary adjustments as a result of stock dividends, stock splits, combinations
of shares, reorganizations, recapitalizations, reclassifications or other similar events, there are no anti-dilution or price
adjustment provisions contained in any security issued by the Company (or in any agreement providing rights to security holders)
and the issuance and sale of the Securities will not obligate the Company to issue the Securities or other securities to any Person
(other than the Investors) and will not result in a right of any holder of securities to adjust the exercise, conversion, exchange
or reset price under such securities. To the knowledge of the Company, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports filed prior to the
date hereof and any Schedules 13D or 13G filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 13d-1 of the Exchange Act, no Person or group of
related Persons beneficially owns (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act), or has the right to acquire,
by agreement with or by obligation binding upon the Company, beneficial ownership in excess of 5% of the outstanding Common Stock.

 

4.6           SEC
Reports; Financial Statements.

 

(a)          Except
as set forth in SEC Reports filed prior to the date hereof or on Schedule 4.6 hereto, the Company has filed all reports
required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the twelve (12)
months preceding the date hereof on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any
such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension and has filed all reports required to be filed by it under the

(b)          As
of their respective dates (or, if amended or superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, then on the date of such filing),
the SEC Reports filed by the Company complied in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange
Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder, and none of the SEC Reports, when filed (or, if amended or
superseded by a filing prior to the date hereof, then on the date of such filing) by the Company, contained any untrue statement
of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements
therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All material agreements to which the Company
is a party or to which the property or assets of the Company are subject are included as part of or identified in the SEC Reports,
to the extent such agreements are required to be included or identified pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC.

 

(c)          The
financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements
and the rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto as in effect at the time of filing (or, if amended or superseded
by a filing prior to the applicable Closing Date, then on the date of such filing). Such financial statements have been prepared
in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved
(“GAAP”), except as may be otherwise specified in such financial statements, the notes thereto and except
that unaudited financial statements may not contain all footnotes required by GAAP or may be condensed or summary statements,
and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries
as of and for the dates thereof and the results of operations and cash flows for the periods then ended, subject, in the case
of unaudited statements, to normal, year-end audit adjustments.

 

4.7           Material
Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments; Solvency. Since the date of the latest audited financial statements
included within the SEC Reports, except as disclosed in the SEC Reports (other than forward-looking statements, risk factors and
others statements cautionary in nature) filed prior to the date hereof or in Schedule 4.7 hereto, (i) there has
been no event, occurrence or development that, individually or in the aggregate, has had or that would result in a Material Adverse
Effect, (ii) neither the Company Parties nor any of their Subsidiaries have incurred any material liabilities other than
(A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice and (B) liabilities
not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or required to be disclosed in filings
made with the SEC, (iii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has altered its method of accounting or changed its auditors,
(iv) neither the Company nor and any Subsidiary has declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property
to its stockholders, in their capacities as such, or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares

or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company stock-based plans. The Company has not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant
to any bankruptcy law nor does the Company have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary
bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. The Company is not
as of the date hereof, and after giving effect to the transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the applicable Closing, will
not be Insolvent (as defined below). For purposes of this Section 4.7, “Insolvent” means (i)
the present fair saleable value of the Company’s assets is less than the amount required to pay the Company’s total
Indebtedness, (ii) the Company is unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated, contingent or otherwise, as such debts
and liabilities become absolute and matured, (iii) the Company intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts that would

business in which it is engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.

4.8           No
General Solicitation; Placement Agent's Fees. Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its

financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commission (other than for persons engaged by any Investors or their respective investment
advisors) relating to or arising out of the issuance of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement. The Company shall pay, and
hold the Investors 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 Securities pursuant
to this Agreement. The Company has not engaged any placement agent or other agent in connection with the sale of the Securities.

 

4.9           Private

under Regulation D under the Securities Act in connection with the offer and sale by the Company of the Securities as contemplated
hereby or (ii) cause the offering of the Securities 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 Securities by

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

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 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
Securities and the Investors’ ownership of the Securities.

 

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

non-U.S. income and franchise tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject, (ii)

and state securities laws, and such Investor does not have a present arrangement to effect any distribution of the Securities
to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Investor
does not agree to hold any of the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities
at any time in accordance with or pursuant to a registration statement or an exemption under the Securities Act.

5.5           Experience
of Each Investor. Such Investor, either alone or together with its representatives has such knowledge, sophistication and
experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment
in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. Such Investor understands that it must bear the
economic risk of this investment in the Securities indefinitely, and is able to bear such risk and is able to afford a complete
loss of such investment.

 

5.6           Access
to Information. Such Investor acknowledges that it has reviewed the Disclosure Materials, and all other materials such Investor
deemed necessary for the purpose of making an investment decision with respect to the Securities, including information regarding
the Merger Transactions, and has been afforded: (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of,
and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the Company’s business, management and financial
affairs and terms and conditions of the offering of the Securities and the merits and risks of investing in the Securities; (ii) access
to information (including material non-public information) about the Company and its Subsidiaries and their respective financial
condition, results of operations, business, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment;
and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable
effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Such Investor has
evaluated the risks of investing in the Securities, understands there are substantial risks of loss incidental to the investment
and has determined that it is a suitable investment for such Investor.

 

5.7           No
Governmental Review. Such Investor understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental
agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment
in the Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

 

    	12

    	 

    

 

5.8           No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by such Investor of this Agreement and the consummation by such Investor
of the transactions contemplated hereby will not (i) result in a violation of the organizational documents of such Investor
or (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which 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 of, any agreement, indenture or instrument
to which such Investor is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree
(including federal and state securities laws) applicable to such Investor, except in the case of clauses (ii) and (iii) above,
for such that are not material to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and do not otherwise affect the ability of such
Investor to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

5.9           Prohibited
Transactions; Confidentiality. Such Investor has not, directly or indirectly, and no Person acting on behalf of or pursuant
to any understanding with such Investor has, engaged in any purchases or sales in the securities, including derivatives, of the
Company (including, without limitation, any Short Sales (a “Transaction”) involving any of the Company’s
securities) since the time that such Investor was first contacted by the Company, the Agent or any other Person regarding an investment
in the Company. Such Investor covenants that neither it nor any Person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any understanding with
such Investor will engage, directly or indirectly, in any Transactions in the securities of the Company (including Short Sales)

foreign regulated brokers.

 

5.10         Restricted
Securities. Such Investor understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the
U.S. federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company 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
only in certain limited circumstances

 

5.11         Legends.
It is understood that, except as provided in Section 6.1, certificates evidencing the Preferred Shares may bear any legend

5.12         No
Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. Such Investor understands that nothing in this Agreement or any other materials presented
by or on behalf of the Company to such Investor in connection with the purchase of the Securities constitutes legal, tax or investment
advice. Such Investor has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary
or appropriate in connection with its purchase of the Securities.

 

5.13         Certain
Information. Such Investor acknowledges that the Company may have material, non-public information not known to such Investor
regarding the Securities and the Company, including, without limitation information received by the Company on a privileged basis
from the attorneys and financial advisers representing the Company and its Board of Directors. Such Investor understands, based
on its experience, the disadvantage to which such Investor is subject due to the disparity of information between the Company
and such Investor and, notwithstanding this, such Investor has deemed it appropriate to enter into this Agreement and engage in
the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section
6.               Restrictions on Transfer; Other
Agreements of the Parties.

 

6.1           Preferred
Shares Restrictive Legends. Any certificate or other document issued in respect of any Preferred Shares or Purchased Common
Shares shall be endorsed with the legend set forth below, as appropriate:

 

(i)          “THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE UNITED STATES SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES
ACT”), OR REGISTERED OR QUALIFIED UNDER THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, ‘TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED,
PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED (1) ABSENT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION THEREOF UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT (2) ABSENT AN OPINION OF COUNSEL,
WHICH OPINION IS REASONABLY SATISFACTORY IN FORM AND SUBSTANCE TO THE COMPANY AND ITS COUNSEL, TO THE EFFECT THAT SUCH REGISTRATION
IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR THAT SUCH TRANSACTION COMPLIES WITH THE RULES
PROMULGATED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OR, (3) EXCEPT
IN A TRANSACTION IN COMPLIANCE WITH RULE 144 UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.” and

 

(ii)         any
legend required by any applicable state securities law.

 

The
Company shall maintain a copy of this Agreement and any amendments thereto on file in its principal offices, and will make such
copy available during normal business hours for inspection to any party thereto or will provide such copy to each Investor or
any transferee upon its or their request.

 

Whenever
the legend requirements imposed by this Section 6.1 shall terminate, as provided in Section 6.3, the respective
holders of Preferred Shares or Purchased Common Shares for which such legend requirements have terminated shall be entitled to
receive from the Company, at the Company’s expense, certificates representing the Preferred Shares without such legend.

 

6.2           Notes
Restrictive Legends. The Notes, when issued, will bear a legend as set forth in the Indenture.

 

    	14

    	 

    

 

6.3           Notice
of Transfer, Opinions of Counsel. Each holder of the Preferred Shares bearing the restrictive legend set forth in Section
6.1 above (a “Restricted Security”), agrees with respect to any transfer of such Restricted Security
to give to the Company (a) written notice describing the transferee and the circumstances, if any, necessary to establish the
availability of an exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act or any state law and (b) upon reasonable
request by the Company to such transferring holder, an opinion of counsel (at the expense of such holder), which is knowledgeable
in securities law matters (including in-house counsel), in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect
that the proposed transfer of such Restricted Security may be effected without registration of such Restricted Security under
the Securities Act or any state law. If for any reason the Company (after having been furnished with the opinion required to be
furnished pursuant to this Section 6.3), shall fail to notify such holder within ten (10) business days after such holder
shall have delivered such notice of opinion to the Company that, in its or its counsel’s opinion, the transfer may not be
legally effective (the “Illegal Transfer Notice”), such holders shall thereupon be entitled to transfer
the Restricted Security as proposed. If the holder of the Restricted Security delivers to the Company an opinion of counsel (including
in-house counsel or outside counsel to an Investor or its investment adviser) which is in form and substance reasonably satisfactory
to the Company that subsequent transfers of such Restricted Security will not require registration under the Securities Act or
any state law, and the Company does not provide the holders with an Illegal Transfer Notice as set forth above, the Company will
within a reasonable period after such contemplated transfer, at the expense of such holder, deliver new certificates for such
Restricted Security which do not bear the Securities Act legend set forth in Section 6.1(i) above. The restrictions imposed
by this Section 6 upon the transferability of any particular Restricted Security shall cease and terminate when such Restricted
Security has been sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or transferred pursuant to Rule
144 promulgated under the Securities Act. The holder of any Restricted Security as to which such restrictions shall have terminated
shall be entitled to receive from the Company at the expense of such holder, a new security of the same type but not bearing the
restrictive Securities Act legend set forth in Section 6.1 and not containing any other reference to the restrictions imposed
by this Section 6. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, no opinion of counsel will be required to be rendered pursuant
to this Section 6.3 with respect to the transfer of any securities on which the restrictive legend has been removed
in accordance with this Section 6.3. As used in this Section 6.3, the term “transfer” encompasses any
sale, transfer or other disposition of any securities referred to herein.

 

6.4           Shares
Issuable Upon Conversion. At any time that the Convertible Securities are outstanding, the Company shall cause to be maintained
all authorizations required for the issuance of a number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may be liable to issue upon
the conversion of the Convertible Securities from time to time remaining outstanding, in accordance with the terms and conditions
of the Securities. All shares of Common Stock delivered upon conversion of the Convertible Securities shall be newly issued shares
or shares held in treasury by the Company, shall have been duly authorized and validly issued and shall be fully paid and non-assessable
and free of any lien and shall not be subject to any pre-emptive rights or similar rights and shall rank pari passu in all respects
with other existing Common Stock.

acknowledges and agrees that in no event will the Company be obligated to issue to the Investors an aggregate number of shares

Statement.

 

(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.

 

    	22

    	 

    

 

(b)          The
Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities
Act as promptly as possible, but in any event on or prior to the Effectiveness Date, and 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 the Company may, by written notice to each Investor, suspend sales under a Registration
Statement after the Effective Date thereof and/or require that each Investor 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 Board of Directors determines in good faith, by appropriate resolutions, that, as a result of such

sales under such Registration Statement at such time. Upon receipt of such notice, each Investor shall immediately discontinue

the current Prospectus or amended Prospectus, as applicable, may be used. In no event, however, shall this right be exercised

be exercised for a period of no more than 20 Trading Days at a time and not more than three (3) times in any twelve-month
(12) period. Immediately after the end of any suspension period under this Section 8.1(c), the Company shall take all necessary

Transaction Document as each Investor may reasonably and promptly propose no later than two (2) Trading Days after each Investor
has been so furnished with copies of such documents as aforesaid.

(b)          (i) Subject

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

Statement during the applicable period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Investors thereof set forth

each Investor as promptly as reasonably possible, and (if requested by any Investors confirm such notice in writing no later than

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.

 

(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.

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

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).

 

    	28

    	 

    

 

(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 9.1 are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified Parties.

 

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 8.1(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 agrees that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates or book-entry records representing the Securities
as set forth in this Section 9.2 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance that such 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.

 

    	29

    	 

    

 

9.3           Anti-Dilution
Restructuring. Subject to the approval of The Board of Directors (including the independent directors, as applicable) or pursuant
to a vote of the Company’s stockholders, following the Closing Date, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to amend
the rights of the Class B Common Stock (or any substitute class of common stock thereto) with respect to the anti-dilution provisions
appurtenant thereto, so that beginning twenty four (24) months after the Initial Closing Date, the Company shall have the right
to redeem Parent’s (or its members’) beneficial ownership of any outstanding Class B Common Stock (or a substitute
class of common stock thereto) as follows:

 

(i)          if
at the time such election by the Company to so redeem the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock is equal to
or less than $30 per share (as appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends or other similar transactions) then
in exchange for $50 million payable in cash; or

 

(ii)         if
at the time such election by the Company to so redeem, the closing price of the Company’s Class A Common Stock is greater
than $30 per share (as appropriately adjusted for any stock splits, stock dividends or other similar transactions) then in
exchange for $50 million plus a prorated incremental amount (determined as follows: for every $1 over $30 per share, the $50 million
payment is increased by $1.67 million), each payable in cash.

 

Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary set forth herein, nothing in this Section 9.3 shall constitute a condition to any Closing; provided,
however, the breach of this Section 9.3 shall nevertheless be subject to indemnification as set forth in Section 9.1.

 

9.4           Fees
and Expenses. 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 Securities. The Company shall pay to (or on behalf of) the Investors their fees and expenses in accordance
with Section 7 of the Commitment Letter (the “Reimbursable Expenses”).

 

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 Initial Closing, and without further consideration, the Company will execute and deliver to each Investor such further
documents as may be reasonably requested in order to give practical effect to the intention of the parties under the Transaction
Documents.

9.12         Survival.
The representations and warranties contained herein shall survive the applicable Closing for a period of one year following the
applicable Closing Date.

 

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

signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or email-attached signature page were an original thereof.

 

9.14         Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the
remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt
to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate

of Stock Certificates. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any of the Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed,
the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and
substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company
of such loss, theft or destruction and the execution by the holder thereof of a customary lost certificate or note 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 certificate or note.

 

    	33

    	 

    

 

9.16         Remedies.
In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each Investor
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 and the other Signing Parties
shall remain liable for such payments.

 

9.18         Adjustments
in Share Numbers and Prices. In the event of any stock split, subdivision, dividend or distribution payable in Securities
(or other securities or rights convertible into, or entitling the holder thereof to receive directly or indirectly Securities),
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.

Call RIGHTS

 

Section
3.1Grant of Call Rights.

 

(a)The
Issuer or any or all of the Existing Members (either alone or as a group), as the case may be, may, at any time during the Call
Exercise Period and in accordance with the terms and provisions hereof, exercise its Call Right, and, if the Issuer or the Existing
Members, as the case may be, so elect to exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 3.1, the Investor shall have the
obligation to sell to the Issuer or any of the Existing Members (as applicable) all of the Membership Interest (the “Call
Interest”), for an amount equal to the Value of the Call Settlement Amount which shall be delivered to the Investor in
the form of the Elected Consideration pursuant to a Call Right Closing; provided, however, the Issuer’s right
to purchase any Call Interest shall be subject to the rights of the Existing Members in Section 3.1(c).

 

(b)In
order to exercise its Call Right, Issuer or such Existing Members (as applicable) must timely deliver an irrevocable notice of
their election to exercise such right in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (a “Call Exercise
Notice”) to the Investor and such Existing Members or the Issuer (as applicable) in accordance with the notice provision
set forth in Section 5.7 hereof, which Call Exercise Notice must include a proposed Call Settlement Amount as of the date
of such Call Exercise Notice (the “Proposed Call Settlement Amount”).

 

(c)Notwithstanding
the provisions of Section 3.1(a), the delivery of a Call Exercise Notice by the Issuer shall give rise to a right for any
of the Existing Members to, and any of the Existing Members may, in their sole and absolute discretion, elect to substitute themselves
for the Investor as the Party exercising the Call Right with respect to the Call Interest (an “Existing Member Call Substitution”)
by giving written notice to the Issuer and the Investor of their intention to exercise such right of substitution within five (5)
Business Days (a “Substitution Right Notice”) after their receipt of such Call Exercise Notice; provided,
however, the exercise of an Existing Member Call Substitution does not give rise to a right for the Existing Members (or
any other Party) to amend, modify or otherwise alter the Proposed Call Settlement Amount contained in the subject Call Exercise
Notice.

 

    	8

    	 

    

 

(d)Within
thirty (30) days after delivery of the Call Exercise Notice to the Investor, the Investor will advise the Issuer and the Existing
Members in writing whether it agrees with the Proposed Call Settlement Amount or whether it objects to it. If the Investor has
any objections to the Proposed Call Settlement Amount, the Investor shall deliver to the Issuer and the Existing Members a statement
setting forth a counterproposal with reasonably detailed support for the basis thereof (the “Counterproposal”).
If a Counterproposal is not delivered to the Issuer and the Existing Members within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Call
Exercise Notice to the Investor, the Proposed Call Settlement Amount shall be final, binding and non-appealable by the Parties
hereto, except as provided in Section 3.1(e) below. The Investor and the Issuer or the Existing Members (as applicable)
shall negotiate in good faith to resolve any dispute with respect to the Counterproposal, but if they do not reach a final resolution
within ninety (90) days after the delivery of the Counterproposal, the Investor, on the one hand, and the Issuer or the Existing
Members (as applicable), on the other hand, shall submit the dispute for final resolution to Ernst & Young LLP, or if Ernst
& Young LLP is unable to serve, to an independent certified public accounting firm of national reputation mutually agreed by
the Issuer or the Existing Members (as applicable), on the one hand, and the Investor, on the other hand, (and if the parties cannot
agree to such alternative firm, each of the Investor and the Issuer or the Existing Members (as applicable) shall name an independent
certified public accounting firm of national reputation and those two shall select an independent certified public accounting firm
of national reputation) (the firm so determined, the “Arbitrator”). Each Party agrees to execute, if requested
by the Arbitrator, a reasonable and customary engagement letter with the Arbitrator, including customary indemnities. In resolving
the dispute, the Arbitrator may not assign a fair market value to any Call Interest subject to a dispute greater than the greatest
fair market value claimed by any Party with respect to such Call Interest or less than the lowest fair market value for such Call
Interest claimed by any Party. The Investor and the Issuer or the Existing Members (as applicable) shall use their reasonable best
efforts to cause the Arbitrator to resolve the dispute and make a final determination in writing as soon as practicable and in
any event within thirty (30) days after the submission of any dispute to the Arbitrator. The Issuer or the Existing Members (as
applicable) and the Investor shall promptly comply with all reasonable requests by the Arbitrator for information, books, records
and similar items. The fees and expenses of the Arbitrator shall be borne by the Investor, on the one hand, and the Issuer or the
Existing Members (as applicable), on the other hand, in such amount(s) as shall be determined by the Arbitrator based on the proportion
that the aggregate amount of the dispute is attributable to the Investor, on the one hand, or the Issuer or the Existing Members
(as applicable), on the other hand, as determined by the Arbitrator. The resolution of the dispute by the Arbitrator shall be final,
binding and non-appealable on the Parties hereto, except as provided in Section 3.1(e) below.

 

(e)If
the Issuer enters into any Material Transaction during the period beginning with the date of any Call Right Closing (an “Initial
Closing”) and ending twelve months thereafter (the “Look-Back Period”), Investor shall have the right
to deliver a Counterproposal (a “Subsequent Counterproposal”) with respect to the Call Settlement Amount that
served as the basis for such Initial Closing (whether the underlying Call Settlement Amount was determined through (i) non-objection
to the Proposed Call Settlement Amount, (ii) good faith negotiation between the Parties, (iii) the decision of an Arbitrator, or
(iv) otherwise pursuant to Section 3.1(d)), and such Subsequent Counterproposal shall serve as the basis the dispute resolution
process described in Section 3.1(d) to commence as if such Subsequent Counterproposal had been timely filed within thirty
(30) days after delivery of the Call Exercise Notice to the Investor; provided, however, that any determination pursuant
to this Section 3.1(e), by an Arbitrator or otherwise, that a higher Call Settlement Amount should have been paid at the
Initial Closing (a “Call Settlement Adjustment”) shall give rise to an obligation for the Party that was the
beneficiary of an underpayment in connection with the Initial Closing to make a payment, in the same proportion as the Call Cash
Amount and the Call Issuer Shares Amount paid in the Initial Closing, to the other Party in the amount of such underpayment, without
giving effect to (i) fees and expenses of the Arbitrator, (ii) interest that would have accrued on the amount of such Call Settlement
Adjustment during the Look-Back Period, or (iii) any other costs or amounts incident to the procedures described in this Section
3.1(e). The determination of any Call Settlement Adjustment shall be final, binding and non-appealable on the Parties hereto.

or Existing Member Call Substitution, and each of the Investor, the Issuer and the Existing Members shall treat the transaction

(ii)The
applicable Call Exercise Notice or Substitution Right Notice must also include the percentages of the Call Interest to be purchased
by each Existing Member (which percentages must aggregate to 100%).

closing of the purchase and sale of any Call Interest, as contemplated by Section 3.1 above (each, a “Call Right
Closing”) shall take place on the date which is 15 days after the date on which the Call Settlement Amount is determined
in respect of such Call Interest (whether such Call Settlement Amount was determined through (i) non-objection to the Proposed
Call Settlement Amount, (ii) good faith negotiation between the Parties, (iii) the decision of an Arbitrator, or (iv) otherwise
pursuant to Section 3.1(d)) (or such other time as may hereinafter be agreed to by the Investor, on the one hand, and the

to make in respect of the transfer of the Call Interest are representations and warranties as to ownership, its power, authority
and ability to convey title to the Call Interest, free and clear of Liens, but subject to the exceptions, described in the preceding
clause of this Section 3.2(b)(iv) and in compliance with any laws and contractual obligations applicable to the Investor (including
the Operating Agreement).
