2.            Demand
Registration.

 

(a)     If
at any time after the date of this Agreement, the Company receives a request from Holders of the majority-in-interest of the Registrable
Securities, that the Company file a registration statement with respect to the Registrable Securities, then the Company
shall as soon as practicable, and in any event within 60 days after the date such request is given by such Holders (the “Filing
Date”), the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the resale of all or
such portion of the Registrable Securities as permitted by SEC Guidance (provided that the Company shall use diligent efforts to
advocate with the Commission for the registration of all of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the SEC Guidance, including
without limitation, the Manual of Publicly Available Telephone Interpretations D.29) that are not then registered on an effective
Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. 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 herewith) and shall contain (unless otherwise directed
by at least a 75% majority in interest of the Holders) substantially the “Plan of Distribution” attached hereto
as Annex A. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement to
be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the
applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under
the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, or may be sold without
any restriction pursuant to Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to
a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders
(the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement
as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on a Trading Day. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders via facsimile or by e-mail
delivery of a “.pdf” format data file of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that
the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of a
Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the Trading Day after the Effective Date, file a
final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, and subject
to the payment of liquidated damages in Section 2(b), if any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of
Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement (and notwithstanding that the Company
used diligent efforts to advocate with the Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities),
unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered
on such Registration Statement will be reduced by Registrable Securities represented by Shares (applied, in the case that some
Shares may be registered, to the Holders on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares held by such Holders).

 

    	3

    	 

    
 

(b)     If:
(i) the Initial Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date (if the Company files the Initial Registration
Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 3(a)
herein, the Company shall be deemed to have not satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) the Company fails to file with the Commission
a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act, within
five (5) Trading Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that
such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or not be subject to further review, or (iii) prior to the Effectiveness
Date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments
made by the Commission in respect of such Registration Statement within 60 calendar days after the receipt of comments by or notice
from the Commission that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, or (iv)
as to, in the aggregate among all Holders on a pro-rata basis based on their purchase of the Securities pursuant to the Purchase
Agreement, a Registration Statement registering for resale all of the Initial Shares is not declared effective by the Commission
by the Effectiveness Date of the Initial Registration Statement, or (v) all of the Registrable Securities are not registered for
resale pursuant to one or more effective Registration Statements on or before the Effectiveness Date, or (vi) after the Effectiveness
Date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all
Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus
therein to resell such Registrable Securities, and the Registrable Securities may not be sold pursuant to exemption under Rule
144 of the Securities Act, for more than 30 consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of 60 calendar days during any
12-month period (which need not be consecutive calendar days) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”,
and for purposes of clause (i), (iv) or (v) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (ii) the date on which
such five (5) Trading Day period is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such 60 calendar day period is exceeded,
or for purposes of clause (vi) the date on which such 30 or 60 calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to
as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law
(including specific performance of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement), on each such Event Date and
on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the
applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty,
equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement for any unregistered Registrable
Securities then held by such Holder. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to a Holder under
this Agreement shall be 3.0% of the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Holder pursuant to the Purchase Agreement. If the
Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section in full within seven calendar days after the date
payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 10% per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be
paid by applicable law) to the Holder, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts,
plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a
daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.

3.            Registration
Procedures. In connection with the Company’s registration obligations hereunder, the Company shall, as expeditiously
as possible (unless another time period is so specified therein):

 

(a)     Not
less than two (2) Trading Days prior to the filing of each Registration Statement and not less than one Trading Day prior to the
filing of any related Prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto (including any document that would be incorporated or deemed
to be incorporated therein by reference), the Company shall (i) furnish to each Holder, copies of all such documents proposed to
be filed, which documents (other than those incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference) will be subject to the review
of such Holder, and (ii) cause its officers and directors, counsel and independent certified public accountants to respond to such
inquiries as shall be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of respective counsel to each Holder, to conduct a reasonable investigation
within the meaning of the Securities Act. The Company shall not file a Registration Statement or any such Prospectus or any amendments
or supplements thereto to which the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities shall reasonably object in good faith,
provided that the Company is notified of such objection in writing no later than two (2) Trading Days after the Holders have been
so furnished copies of a Registration Statement or one (1) Trading Day after the Holders have been so furnished copies of any related
Prospectus or amendments or supplements thereto. Each Holder agrees to furnish to the Company on the date hereof a completed questionnaire
in the form attached to this Agreement as Annex B (a “Selling Stockholder Questionnaire”). For purposes of clarity,
the opportunity of review by the Holders and their representative set forth herein shall be on a one time basis only with respect
to a particular filing, and shall not be construed to commence additional review periods or opportunities which may otherwise interfere
with the Company’s ability to file any documents hereunder in a timely manner in order to avoid incurring liquidated damages
hereunder.

 

(b)     (i)
Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments, including post-effective amendments, to a Registration Statement and the
Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep a Registration Statement continuously effective as to the applicable
Registrable Securities for the Effectiveness Period and prepare and file with the Commission 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 (subject to the terms of this Agreement), and, as so supplemented
or amended, to be filed pursuant to Rule 424; (iii) respond as promptly as reasonably possible to any comments received from the
Commission with respect to a Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and provide as promptly as reasonably possible to
the Holders true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to a Registration Statement (provided
that the Company may excise any information contained therein which would constitute material non-public information as to any
Holder which has not executed a confidentiality agreement with the Company); and (iv) 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
a Registration Statement during the applicable period in accordance (subject to the terms of this Agreement) with the intended
methods of disposition by the Holders thereof set forth in such Registration Statement as so amended or in such Prospectus as so
supplemented.

 

(c)     If
during the Effectiveness Period, the number of Registrable Securities at any time exceeds 100% of the number of shares of Common
Stock then registered in a Registration Statement, then the Company shall file as soon as reasonably practicable, an additional
Registration Statement covering the resale by the Holders of not less than the number of such Registrable Securities.

 

    	5

    	 

    
 

(d)     Notify
the Holders of Registrable Securities to be sold (which notice shall, pursuant to clauses (iii) through (vi) hereof, be accompanied
by an instruction to suspend the use of the Prospectus until the requisite changes have been made) as promptly as reasonably possible
(and, in the case of (i)(A) below, not less than one (1) Trading Day prior to such filing) and (if requested by any such Person)
confirm such notice in writing no later than one (1) Trading Day following the day (i)(A) when a Prospectus or any Prospectus supplement
or post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement is proposed to be filed; (B) when the Commission notifies the Company whether
there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration
Statement; and (C) with respect to a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment, when the same has become effective;
(ii) of any request by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to a Registration
Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) of the issuance by the Commission or any other federal or state governmental
authority of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities
or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the
suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction,
or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; (v) of the occurrence of any event or passage of time that
makes the financial statements included in a Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in a
Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any
material respect or that requires any revisions to a Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case
of a Registration Statement or the Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact
or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading; and (vi) of the occurrence or existence of any pending corporate development with respect
to the Company that the Company believes may be material and that, in the determination of the Company, makes it not in the best
interest of the Company to allow continued availability of a Registration Statement or Prospectus, provided that any and all of
such information shall remain confidential to each Holder until such information otherwise becomes public, unless disclosure by
a Holder is required by law; provided, further, that notwithstanding each Holder’s agreement to keep such information confidential,
each such Holder makes no acknowledgement that any such information is material, non-public information.

 

(e)     Use
its best efforts to avoid the issuance of, or, if issued, obtain the withdrawal of (i) any order stopping or suspending the effectiveness
of a Registration Statement, or (ii) any suspension of the qualification (or exemption from qualification) of any of the Registrable
Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, at the earliest practicable moment.

 

(f)     Furnish
to each Holder, without charge, at least one (1) conformed copy of each such Registration Statement and each amendment thereto,
including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference to the
extent requested by such Person, and all exhibits to the extent requested by such Person (including those previously furnished
or incorporated by reference) promptly after the filing of such documents with the Commission; provided, that any such item which
is available on the EDGAR system need not be furnished in physical form.

 

    	6

    	 

    
 

(g)     Subject
to the terms of this Agreement, the Company hereby consents to the use of such Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto
by each of the selling Holders in connection with the offering and sale of the Registrable Securities covered by such Prospectus
and any amendment or supplement thereto, except after the giving of any notice pursuant to Section 3(d).

 

(h)     Prior
to any resale of Registrable Securities by a Holder, use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate
with the selling Holders in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from the Registration or qualification)
of such Registrable Securities for the resale by the Holder under the securities or Blue Sky laws of such jurisdictions within
the United States as any Holder reasonably requests in writing, to keep each registration or qualification (or exemption therefrom)
effective during the Effectiveness Period and to do any and all other acts or things reasonably necessary to enable the disposition
in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by each Registration Statement; provided, that the Company shall not
be required to qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it is not then so qualified, subject the Company to any
material tax in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject or file a general consent to service of process in any such
jurisdiction.

 

(i)     Cooperate
with such Holders to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates representing Registrable Securities to be delivered
to a transferee pursuant to a Registration Statement, which certificates shall be free, to the extent permitted by the Purchase
Agreement, of all restrictive legends, and to enable such Registrable Securities to be in such denominations and registered in
such names as any such Holder may request.

 

(j)     Upon
the occurrence of any event contemplated by Section 3(d), as promptly as reasonably possible under the circumstances
taking into account the Company’s good faith assessment of any adverse consequences to the Company and its stockholders of
the premature disclosure of such event, prepare a supplement or amendment, including a post-effective amendment, to a 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 a 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 light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. If the Company notifies the Holders
in accordance with clauses (iii) through (vi) of Section 3(d) above to suspend the use of any Prospectus until the
requisite changes to such Prospectus have been made, then the Holders shall suspend use of such Prospectus. The Company will use
its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as is practicable. The Company shall be entitled
to exercise its right under this Section 3(j) to suspend the availability of a Registration Statement and Prospectus,
subject to the payment of partial liquidated damages otherwise required pursuant to Section 2(b), for a period not
to exceed 60 calendar days (which need not be consecutive days) in any 12 month period.

 

(k)     Comply
with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission.

 

    	7

    	 

    
 

(l)     The
Company may require each selling Holder to furnish to the Company a certified statement as to the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned by such Holder and, if required by the Commission, the natural persons thereof that have or share voting and
dispositive control over the shares. During any periods that the Company is unable to meet its obligations hereunder with respect
to the registration of the Registrable Securities solely because any Holder fails to furnish such information within three (3)
Trading Days of the Company’s request, any liquidated damages that are accruing at such time as to such Holder only shall
be tolled and any Event that may otherwise occur solely because of such delay shall be suspended as to such Holder only, until
such information is delivered to the Company. In the event a Holder fails to provide such information to the Company, the Company
may rely on the beneficial ownership information in such Holder’s Selling Stockholder Questionnaire.

 

4.            Registration
Expenses. All fees and expenses incident to the performance of or compliance with this Agreement by the Company shall be borne
by the Company whether or not any Registrable Securities are sold pursuant to a Registration Statement. The fees and expenses referred
to in the foregoing sentence shall include, without limitation, (i) all registration and filing fees (including, without limitation,
fees and expenses of the Company’s counsel and auditors) (A) with respect to filings made with the Commission, (B) with respect
to filings required to be made with the OTCBB or any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is then quoted or listed for trading,
and (C) in compliance with applicable state securities or Blue Sky laws reasonably agreed to by the Company in writing (including,
without limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company in connection with Blue Sky qualifications or exemptions
of the Registrable Securities), (ii) printing expenses (including, without limitation, expenses of printing certificates for Registrable
Securities), (iii) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, but in no event greater than $10,000. (iv) fees and disbursements
of one counsel selected by the Holders, (v) Act liability
insurance, if the Company so desires such insurance, and (vi) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in
connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In addition, the Company shall be responsible
for all of its internal expenses incurred in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
(including, without limitation, all salaries and expenses of its officers and employees performing legal or accounting duties),
the expense of any annual audit and the fees and expenses incurred in connection with the quotation or listing of the Registrable
Securities on any securities exchange as required hereunder. In no event shall the Company be responsible for any broker or similar
commissions of any Holder.

5.            Indemnification.

 

(a)     Indemnification
by the Company. The Company shall, notwithstanding any termination of this Agreement, indemnify and hold harmless each Holder,
the officers, directors, members, partners, agents, brokers (including brokers who offer and sell Registrable Securities as principal
as a result of a pledge or any failure to perform under a margin call of shares of Common Stock), investment advisors and employees
(and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title
or any other title) of each of them, each Person who controls any such Holder (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities
Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act) and the officers, directors, members, stockholders, partners, agents and employees
(and any other Persons with a functionally equivalent role of a Person holding such titles, notwithstanding a lack of such title
or any other title) of each such controlling Person, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, from and against any and
all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, costs (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees) and expenses
(collectively, “Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or relating to (1) any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement, any Prospectus or any form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement
thereto or in any 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 supplement thereto,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (2) any violation or alleged violation by the Company
of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder, in connection with the
performance of its obligations under this Agreement, except to the extent, but only to the extent, that (i) such untrue statements
or omissions are based solely upon information regarding such Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Holder expressly
for use therein, or to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s proposed method of distribution
of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly for use in a Registration
Statement, such Prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A
hereto for this purpose) or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi),
the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus
is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d). The Company
shall notify the Holders promptly of the institution, threat or assertion of any Proceeding arising from or in connection with
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement of which the Company is aware.

 

(b)     Indemnification
by Holders. Each Holder shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers,
agents and employees, each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and Section 20
of the Exchange Act), and the directors, officers, agents or employees of such controlling Persons, to the fullest extent permitted
by applicable law, from and against all Losses, as incurred, to the extent arising out of or based solely upon: (x) such Holder’s
failure to comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act or (y) any untrue or alleged untrue statement
of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any Prospectus, or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any
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 not misleading (i) to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information so furnished in writing by such Holder to the Company specifically for inclusion
in such Registration Statement or such Prospectus or (ii) to the extent that such information relates to such Holder or such Holder’s
proposed method of distribution of Registrable Securities and was reviewed and expressly approved in writing by such Holder expressly
for use in a Registration Statement (it being understood that the Holder has approved Annex A hereto for this purpose), such Prospectus
or in any amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) in the case of an occurrence of an event of the type specified in Section 3(d)(iii)-(vi),
the use by such Holder of an outdated or defective Prospectus after the Company has notified such Holder in writing that the Prospectus
is outdated or defective and prior to the receipt by such Holder of the Advice contemplated in Section 6(d). In no
event shall the liability of any selling Holder hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds received
by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such indemnification obligation.

(c)     Notice
of Claims. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party (as defined below in Section 5(d)) of a notice of a claim
or the beginning of any action in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section
5, such Indemnified Party shall notify the Indemnifying Party (as defined below in Section 5(d)) in writing of such
claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any
liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party under this Section 5 (except to the extent that such omission materially
and adversely affects the Indemnifying Party’s ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than under
this Section 5(c).

 

(d)     Defense
of Claims. Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party,
the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered
to the Indemnified Party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice from such Indemnified Party, shall be entitled to assume
the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to
such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof (unless it has failed to assume the defense thereof and appoint
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in each case within a reasonable time after notice of commencement of
the action), such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred
by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) there exists or shall exist a
conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, for the same
counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and such Indemnifying Party or any affiliate or associate thereof, (ii) the employment
of separate counsel for such Indemnified Party shall have been authorized in writing by one of the Indemnifying Party in connection
with the defense of such action or (iii) the Indemnifying Party does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense
in the reasonably opinion of such Indemnified Party, then in each case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own
counsel (who shall not be the same as the opining counsel) at the expense of such Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that no
Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate
local counsel) for all Indemnified Parties, which, counsel, in the case of the Indemnified Parties described in Section 5(a),
shall be designated by Holders of the majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, and, in the case of
the Indemnified Parties described in Section 5(b), shall be designated by the Company. In no event shall any Indemnifying
Party be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the Indemnifying Party shall have approved the
terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which
any Indemnified Party is or could reasonably have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified
Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are
the subject matter of such proceeding.

 

    	10

    	 

    
 

(e)     Expenses.
Subject to the terms of this Agreement, all reasonable fees and expenses of any Person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified
Party”) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to
the Person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”); provided, that the Indemnified Party shall
promptly reimburse the Indemnifying Party for that portion of such fees and expenses applicable to such actions for which such
Indemnified Party is judicially determined to be not entitled to indemnification hereunder.

 

(f)     Contribution.
If the indemnification under Section 5(a) or 5(b) is unavailable to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to
hold an Indemnified Party harmless for any Losses, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable
by such Indemnified Party, 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 this Agreement, 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 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 5(f) 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 5(f), no Holder shall be required
to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount in excess of the amount by which the net proceeds actually received by such Holder
from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding exceeds the amount of any damages that such Holder has otherwise
been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission.

 

The indemnity and contribution
agreements contained in this Section are in addition to any liability that the Indemnifying Parties may have to the Indemnified
Parties.

 

6.            Miscellaneous.

 

(a)     Remedies.
In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder
or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement,
including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement. The Company and each
Holder agree that monetary damages would not provide adequate compensation for any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it
of any of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance
in respect of such breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

 

    	11

    	 

    
 

(b)     Compliance.
Each Holder covenants and 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 a Registration Statement.

 

(c)     Discontinued
Disposition. By its acquisition of Registrable Securities, each Holder agrees that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company
of the occurrence of any event of the kind described in Section 3(d)(iii) through (vi), such Holder will forthwith
discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under a Registration Statement until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”)
by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus (as it may have been supplemented or amended) may be resumed. The Company
will use its best efforts to ensure that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed as promptly as it practicable.

 

(d)     Piggy-Back
Registrations. If at any time during the Effectiveness Period there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all
of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement
relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities,
other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity
securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection
with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder a written notice
of such determination and, if within 15 calendar days after the date of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing,
the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to
be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this
Section 6(d) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act or that are the
subject of a then effective Registration Statement.

 

(e)     Amendments
and Waivers. The provisions of this Agreement, including the provisions of this sentence, may not be amended, modified or supplemented,
and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, unless the same shall be in writing and signed
by the Company and the Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities (including, for this purpose any Registrable
Securities issuable upon exercise or conversion of any Security). If a Registration Statement does not register all of the Registrable
Securities pursuant to a waiver or amendment done in compliance with the previous sentence, then the number of Registrable Securities
to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate
which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a waiver
or consent to depart from the provisions hereof with respect to a matter that relates exclusively to the rights of some Holders
and that does not directly or indirectly affect the rights of other Holders may be given by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities
to which such waiver or consent relates; provided, however, that the provisions of this sentence may not be amended, modified,
or supplemented except in accordance with the provisions of the first sentence of this Section 6(e).

 

    	12

    	 

    
 

(f)     Notices.
Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be delivered as
set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

(g)     Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each
of the parties and shall inure to the benefit of each Holder; provided, however, the rights under this Agreement shall not be assignable
if the Registrable Securities are transferred pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, Rule 144
under the Securities Act. The Company may not assign (except by merger) its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written
consent of all of the Holders of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities. Except as set forth herein, each Holder may assign
their respective rights hereunder in the manner and to the Persons as permitted under the Purchase Agreement.

 

(h)     No
Inconsistent Agreements. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has entered, as of the date hereof, nor shall the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, on or after the date of this Agreement, enter into any agreement with respect to its securities,
that would have the effect of impairing the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions
hereof. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(h), neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries has previously entered into
any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person that have not been satisfied
in full.

 

(i)     Execution
and Counterparts. 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 by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data file, 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 “.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.

 

(j)     Governing
Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be determined
in accordance with the provisions of the Purchase Agreement.

 

(k)     Delays
or Omissions; Cumulative Remedies. It is agreed that no delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to
Holder, upon breach, default or noncompliance of the Company under this Agreement shall impair any such right, power or remedy,
nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach, default or noncompliance, or any acquiescence therein, or of any similar
breach, default or noncompliance thereafter occurring. The remedies provided herein are cumulative and not exclusive of any other
remedies provided by law.

 

(l)     Severability.
If any term, provision, covenant or restriction of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal,
void or unenforceable, the remainder of the terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions set forth herein shall remain in full
force and effect and shall in no way be affected, impaired or invalidated, and the parties hereto shall use their commercially
reasonable efforts to find and employ an alternative means to achieve the same or substantially the same result as that contemplated
by such term, provision, covenant or restriction. It is hereby stipulated and declared to be the intention of the parties that
they would have executed the remaining terms, provisions, covenants and restrictions without including any of such that may be
hereafter declared invalid, illegal, void or unenforceable.

 

    	13

    	 

    
 

(m)     Headings.
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of the Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit
or affect any of the provisions hereof.

 

(n)     Independent
Nature of Holders’ Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Holder hereunder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations
of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein or in any other agreement or document delivered at any closing, and no
action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association,
a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert with respect
to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Each Holder shall be entitled to protect and enforce its
rights, including without limitation the rights arising out of this Agreement, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder
to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.

 

(o)     Construction.
The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction
Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting
party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto.

 

(p)     Saturdays,
Sundays, Holidays, etc. If the last or appointed day for the taking of any action or the expiration of any right required or
granted herein shall not be a Business Day, then such action may be taken or such right may be exercised on the next succeeding
Business Day.

Annex A

 

Plan of Distribution

 

Each Selling Stockholder
(the “Selling Stockholders”) of the shares of common stock and any of their pledgees, assignees and successors-in-interest
may, from time to time, sell any or all of their shares of common stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or any other stock exchange,
market or trading facility on which the shares are traded or in private transactions. These sales may be at fixed or negotiated
prices. A Selling Stockholder may use any one or more of the following methods when selling shares:

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

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

 

		·	privately negotiated transactions;

 

		·	settlement of short sales entered into after the effective date of the registration statement of which this prospectus is a
part;

 

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

 

		·	through the writing or settlement of options or other hedging transactions, whether through an options exchange or otherwise;

 

		·	a combination of any such methods of sale; or

 

		·	any other method permitted pursuant to applicable law.

 

The Selling Stockholders
may also sell shares of common stock under Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”),
if available, rather than under this prospectus.

 

Broker-dealers engaged
by the Selling Stockholders may arrange for other brokers-dealers to participate in sales. Broker-dealers may receive commissions
or discounts from the Selling Stockholders (or, if any broker-dealer acts as agent for the purchaser of shares, from the purchaser)
in amounts to be negotiated, but, except as set forth in a supplement to this Prospectus, in the case of an agency transaction
not in excess of a customary brokerage commission in compliance with FINRA Rule 2440; and in the case of a principal transaction
a markup or markdown in compliance with FINRA IM-2440.

 

    	17

    	 

    
 

In connection with
the sale of shares of common stock or interests therein, the Selling Stockholders may enter into hedging transactions with broker-dealers
or other financial institutions, which may in turn engage in short sales of shares of common stock in the course of hedging the
positions they assume. The Selling Stockholders may also sell shares of the common stock short and deliver these securities to
close out their short positions, or loan or pledge the shares of common stock to broker-dealers that in turn may sell these securities.
The Selling Stockholders may also enter into option or other transactions with broker-dealers or other financial institutions or
the creation of one or more derivative securities which require the delivery to such broker-dealer or other financial institution
of shares offered by this prospectus, which shares such broker-dealer or other financial institution may resell pursuant to this
prospectus (as supplemented or amended to reflect such transaction).

 

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 commissions 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. Each Selling Stockholder has informed the Company that it does not have any written or oral agreement
or understanding, directly or indirectly, with any person to distribute the common stock. In no event shall any broker-dealer receive
fees, commissions and markups which, in the aggregate, would exceed eight percent (8%).

 

The Company is required
to pay certain fees and expenses incurred by the Company incident to the registration of the shares. The Company has agreed to
indemnify the Selling Stockholders against certain losses, claims, damages and liabilities, including liabilities under the Securities
Act.

 

Because Selling Stockholders
may be deemed to be “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act, they will be subject to the prospectus
delivery requirements of the Securities Act including Rule 172 thereunder. In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus
which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.
There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the resale shares by the Selling
Stockholders.

 

We agreed to keep this
prospectus effective until the earlier of (i) the date on which the shares may be resold by the Selling Stockholders without registration
and without regard to any volume limitations by reason of Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of similar effect
or (ii) all of the shares have been sold pursuant to this prospectus or Rule 144 under the Securities Act or any other rule of
similar effect. The resale shares will be sold only through registered or licensed brokers or dealers if required under applicable
state securities laws. In addition, in certain states, the resale shares may not be sold unless they have been registered or qualified
for sale in the applicable state or an exemption from the registration or qualification requirement is available and is complied
with.

 

    	18

    	 

    
 

Under applicable rules
and regulations under the Exchange Act, any person engaged in the distribution of the resale shares may not simultaneously engage
in market making activities with respect to the shares of common stock for the applicable restricted period, as defined in Regulation
M, prior to the commencement of the distribution. In addition, the Selling Stockholders will be subject to applicable provisions
of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, including Regulation M, which may limit the timing of purchases and
sales of shares of common stock by the Selling Stockholders or any other person. We will make copies of this prospectus available
to the Selling Stockholders and have informed them of the need to deliver a copy of this prospectus to each purchaser at or prior
to the time of the sale (including by compliance with Rule 172 under the Securities Act).

This VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY
COUPLED WITH INTEREST (this “Agreement”), dated June 7, 2012, is entered into by and among Searchlight Minerals Corp.,

Stock Transfer Inc., a Nevada corporation, as Rights Agent, an “Acquiring Person” is defined as any Person who or which,
together with all Affiliates and Associates of such Person, without prior written approval of the Board of Directors of the Company,
is the Beneficial Owner of 15% or more of the Common Stock of the Company then outstanding;

 

WHEREAS, each Stockholder is the
Beneficial Owner of the number of shares (the “Shares”) of Common Stock of the Company (including a listing of the
direct ownership of Shares and warrants to purchase Shares) set forth opposite the Stockholder’s name on Schedule A
hereto and is either an Affiliate or Associate of every other Stockholder, and the Stockholders have jointly filed a Schedule 13G/A
(Amendment No. 3), dated February 14, 2012 (the “Schedule 13G”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission;

 

WHEREAS, the Company and certain
of the Stockholders are entering into a Securities Purchase Agreement, of even date herewith (the “Purchase Agreement”),
pursuant to which such Stockholders are purchasing an aggregate of 4,500,000 shares (the “Purchased Shares”) of Common
Stock of the Company;

 

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of
the Company has agreed to allow the Stockholders and any of their Affiliates or Associates, whether or not such Affiliates or Associates
are currently in existence (any such Affiliate or Associate, a “Stockholder Affiliate”), to become, collectively and
in the aggregate, the Beneficial Owners of up to 17.5% of the shares of Common Stock of the Company, without being deemed to be

WHEREAS, each Stockholder

AGREEMENT

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration
of the premises and the covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt,
sufficiency and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.          Voting
Agreement.

 

(a)     At any
meeting of the stockholders of the Company (including any adjournment(s), postponement(s) or continuation(s) thereof) and in any
other circumstances upon which the vote, consent (including a written consent in lieu of a meeting), agreement or other approval
of the stockholders of the Company is sought, each Stockholder shall vote all Voting Shares, to the extent not already voted by
the person(s) appointed pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement, as instructed by the Board of Directors of the Company; provided,
however, notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, at all times during the term of this Agreement, the Stockholders
shall retain the right to vote, in the aggregate, up to that number of issued and outstanding Voting Shares which are equal to
or less than 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, as of the record date for any matter at which the vote,
consent (including a written consent in lieu of a meeting), agreement or other approval of the stockholders of the Company is sought.
For purposes of determining which Voting Shares in excess of 15% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock, as of such
record date, are subject to instruction for voting by and the grant of a proxy to the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Excess
Shares”), the Excess Shares shall first consist of those Voting Shares held by the Stockholder with the largest number of
issued and outstanding Voting Shares, and if such Voting Shares are less than the number of Excess Shares, shall then consist,
in order, of those Voting Shares held by the Stockholders with the next largest number of issued and outstanding Voting Shares,
until the number of Excess Shares shall be covered by the voting rights granted to the Board of Directors of the Company hereunder.

 

(b)     Notwithstanding
the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict each Stockholder from acting in a capacity as a director or officer
of the Company, to the extent applicable, it being understood that this Agreement shall apply to each Stockholder solely in the
capacity as a stockholder of the Company.

 

(c)     In the
event that any Stockholder shall transfer any Voting Shares or Other Securities to a Person who shall not be a Stockholder or Stockholder
Affiliate, then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Voting Shares or Other Securities; provided, however, for purposes
of clarity, in the event that any Stockholder or Stockholder Affiliate shall acquire or reacquire Beneficial Ownership over such
Voting Shares or Other Securities, then such Voting Shares and Other Securities shall be deemed subject to this Agreement.

(d)     Any Person,
who is not then a party to this Agreement, but who shall be or become a named reporting person in the Schedule 13G (or any amendments
thereto), shall be deemed to be subject to this Agreement and shall be obligated to become a party to this Agreement as a Stockholder.

 

(e)     No Stockholder,
nor any Affiliate of any Stockholder, shall have any liability with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1(a) above and
the Company shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless each Stockholder and their Affiliates (each, an “Indemnified Party”)
for any and all claims, damages, losses, liabilities and expenses arising out of or resulting from the matters set forth in Section
1(a) above. Promptly after receipt by any Indemnified Party of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action in respect of
which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying person pursuant to this Section 1(e), such Indemnified Party shall notify
the Company in writing of such claim or of the commencement of such action, but the omission to so notify the Company will not
relieve it from any liability which it may have to any Indemnified Party under this Section 1(e) (except to the extent that such
omission materially and adversely affects the Company’s ability to defend such action) or from any liability otherwise than
under this Section 1(e).

 

Subject to the provisions hereinafter stated,
in case any such action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party, the Company shall be entitled to participate therein, and,
to the extent that it shall elect by written notice delivered to the Indemnified Party promptly after receiving the aforesaid notice
from such Indemnified Party, shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified
Party. After notice from the Company to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof (unless it has failed
to assume the defense thereof and appoint counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, in each case within a reasonable
time after notice of commencement of the action), the Company shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses
subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if (i) there exists
or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified
Party, for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Company or any affiliate or associate thereof, (ii)
the employment of separate counsel for such Indemnified Party shall have been authorized in writing by the Company in connection
with the defense of such action or (iii) the Company does not diligently defend the action after assumption of the defense in the
reasonably opinion of such Indemnified Party, then in each case the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel
(who shall not be the same as the opining counsel) at the expense of such Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not
be responsible for the fees and expenses of more than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for all Indemnified
Parties, which, counsel shall be designated by holders of the majority-in-interest of the then outstanding Voting Shares. In no
event shall the Company be liable in respect of any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless the Company shall have approved
the terms of such settlement; provided that such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The Company shall not, without the
prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which
any Indemnified Party is or could reasonably have been a party and indemnification could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified
Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are
the subject matter of such proceeding.

(f)     Nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in any Person any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of
or with respect to any Voting Shares, other than the right to vote as set forth in Section 1(a) above. Except as specifically set
forth herein, all rights, ownership and economic benefits relating the Voting Shares shall remain vested in and belong to such
Stockholder.

 

2.          Irrevocable
Proxy Coupled With Interest.

 

(a)     Each Stockholder
hereby irrevocably designates and appoints the Board of Directors of the Company as such Stockholder’s sole and exclusive
attorney-in-fact and proxy, with full power of substitution and re-substitution, for and in such Stockholder’s name, to vote
and exercise all voting and related rights (to the fullest extent such Stockholder is entitled to do so) with respect to the Voting
Shares in accordance with Section 1(a) above at any meeting of the stockholders of the Company (including any adjournment(s), postponement(s)
or continuation(s) thereof) and in any other circumstances upon which the vote, consent (including a written consent in lieu of
a meeting), agreement or other approval of the stockholders of the Company is sought. The irrevocable proxy and power of attorney
granted by each Stockholder pursuant to this Section 2 shall terminate on the earliest to occur of (i)
June 7, 2019, (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company or the consolidation or merger of the
Company with or into any other business entity pursuant to which stockholders of the Company prior to such consolidation or merger
hold less than 50% of the voting equity of the surviving or resulting entity, (iii) the liquidation, dissolution or winding up
of the business operations of the Company and (iv) the filing or consent to filing of any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization
case or proceeding involving the Company or otherwise seeking any relief under any laws relating to relief from debts or protection
of debtors generally (the “Expiration Date”).

 

(b)     The irrevocable
proxy and power of attorney granted by each Stockholder pursuant to this Section 2 is:

 

(i)     intended
to be and shall be irrevocable to the full extent permitted by the Nevada Revised Statutes;

 

(ii)     coupled
with an interest sufficient in law to support an irrevocable power; and

 

(iii)     granted
in consideration of the Company granting the Rights Agreement Waiver, entering into this Agreement and incurring certain related
fees and expenses.

 

(c)     Each Stockholder
represents that any and all prior proxies or powers of attorney given by the Stockholder with respect to the voting of the Voting
Shares that are, or are deemed by the Company in its sole discretion to be, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement are not
irrevocable, and any and all such prior proxies or powers of attorney are hereby revoked. Each Stockholder shall not grant any
subsequent proxies or powers of attorney with respect to the voting of the Voting Shares that are, or are deemed by the Company
in its sole discretion to be, inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement until after the Expiration Date.

3.          Representations
and Warranties of the Stockholders. Each Stockholder represents and warrants to the Company as follows:

 

(a)     As of the
date hereof, such Stockholder is the legal and Beneficial Owner of the number of Shares set forth opposite such Stockholder’s
name on Schedule A hereto (which includes the Purchased Shares and warrants to purchase Shares), which Shares represent
the only shares of capital stock of the Company legally or Beneficially Owned by the Stockholder or that the Stockholder has voting
power over. Except as set forth on Schedule A, such Stockholder is not a party to any contract or agreement and owns no
warrants, options or rights to purchase, subscribe for or otherwise acquire any securities of the Company. No person not a signatory
to this Agreement has a beneficial interest in or a right to acquire or vote any of the Shares. The Shares are, and any Additional
Shares will be, free and clear of any lien, charge, claim, security interest, proxy, power of attorney, encumbrance, voting trust
or agreement, understanding or arrangement of whatever nature that would adversely affect, or be inconsistent or interfere with,
such Stockholder’s ability to vote the Voting Shares in accordance with Section 1(a) above or such Stockholder’s ability
to grant and the Board of Directors’ ability to exercise the irrevocable proxy and power of attorney pursuant to Section
2 above.

 

(b)     Such Stockholder
has all requisite power, capacity and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement. If this Agreement is being executed in
a representative or fiduciary capacity, the person signing this Agreement has full power, capacity and authority to enter into

binding obligation of such Stockholder, enforceable against such Stockholder in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent conveyance, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights and
remedies generally, and to general principles of equity.

 

(c)     The execution,
delivery and performance by such Stockholder of this Agreement:

 

(i)     is within
such Stockholder’s powers, has been duly authorized by all necessary corporate, partnership, limited partnership, limited
liability company or other similar action and requires no further action on the part of such Stockholder in order to be properly
authorized;

 

(ii)     does not
and will not violate, breach, result in a default under, conflict with, require a consent or waiver under or give rise to a right
of termination, cancellation or acceleration with respect to:

 

(A)     any contract
or agreement to which such Stockholder is a party or by which such Stockholder’s assets are bound;

 

(B)     any statute,
rule or regulation applicable to such Stockholder; or

 

(C)     any judgment,
injunction, order or decree binding on such Stockholder;

 

    	5

    	 

    
 

except for such violations, breaches, conflicts
or defaults that would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on such Stockholder’s ability
to vote the Shares in accordance with Section 1(a) above or such Stockholder’s ability to grant and the Board of Directors’
ability to exercise the irrevocable proxy and power of attorney pursuant to Section 2 above; and

 

(iii)     does

adversely affect, or be inconsistent or interfere with such Stockholder’s ability to vote the Shares in accordance with Section
1(a) above or such Stockholder’s ability to grant and the Board of Directors’ ability to exercise the irrevocable proxy
and power of attorney pursuant to Section 2 above.

 

(d)     Such Stockholder

the Company’s business or any of the Company’s projects.

 

(e)     The representations
and warranties contained in this Agreement are accurate in all respects as of the date of this Agreement.

 

4.          Covenants
of the Stockholders.

 

(a)     Except
as provided in this Agreement, each Stockholder shall not, during the term of this Agreement, without the prior written consent
of the Company, directly or indirectly:

 

(i)     grant any
proxies or powers of attorney or enter into any voting trust or agreement, understanding or arrangement of whatever nature with
respect to the voting of the Voting Shares with respect to the matters set forth in Section 1(a) above or that would adversely
affect, or be inconsistent or interfere with such Stockholder’s ability to vote the Voting Shares in accordance with Section
1(a) above or such Stockholder’s ability to grant and the Board of Directors’ ability to exercise the irrevocable proxy
and power of attorney pursuant to Section 2 above;

 

(ii)     pledge,
encumber or create a lien, whether voluntarily or involuntarily or by operation of law, that would adversely affect, or be inconsistent
or interfere with such Stockholder’s ability to vote the Voting Shares in accordance with Section 1(a) above or such Stockholder’s
ability to grant and the Board of Directors’ ability to exercise the irrevocable proxy and power of attorney pursuant to
Section 2 above; or

 

(iii)     take
any other action that would adversely affect, or be inconsistent or interfere with such Stockholder’s ability to vote the
Voting Shares in accordance with Section 1(a) above or such Stockholder’s ability to grant and the Board of Directors’
ability to exercise the irrevocable proxy and power of attorney pursuant to Section 2 above.

 

(b)     Each Stockholder
shall cause any Stockholder Affiliate who currently is or who may in the future become the Beneficial Owner of any shares of Common
Stock of the Company to execute, deliver and agree to become bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement
with respect to all such shares of Common Stock of the Company. Any purported transfer of Voting Shares or Other Securities by
each Stockholder to a Stockholder Affiliate in violation of this covenant shall be void and of no force or effect, and no such
transfer shall be made or recorded on the books of the Company.

 

    	6

    	 

    
 

(c)     Each Stockholder
acknowledges that it is aware that U.S. securities laws would prohibit any person who has material non-public information about
a company from purchasing or selling, directly or indirectly, securities of such company (including entering into hedge transactions
involving such securities), or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably
foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities. Each Stockholder will not use or permit any third party
to use, and will use its best efforts to assure that no Stockholder Affiliate uses or permits any third party to use, any Confidential
Information (as defined below) of the Company in contravention of U.S. securities laws. Each Stockholder will not trade on or otherwise
use any Confidential Information for personal gain, and will use its best efforts to assure that no Stockholder Affiliate trades
on or otherwise uses any Confidential Information for personal gain. This Agreement does not grant any Stockholder or Stockholder
Affiliate any right in or to the Confidential Information under any intellectual property principles or laws. For purposes of this
Agreement, “Confidential Information” means:

 

(i)     any non-public
information disclosed by Company to the Stockholder, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by examination of tangible
objects:

 

(A)     that has
been designated by Company as “confidential,” either in writing or orally, prior to, at or promptly after the time
of disclosure or that the Stockholder or Stockholder Affiliate clearly understands by the nature of the information to be confidential,
proprietary information of Company (collectively, “Disclosed Information”); and

 

(B)     any
information derived by the Stockholder or Stockholder Affiliate, either directly or indirectly, through examination of the Disclosed
Information.

 

Confidential Information does not include
information that is or becomes publicly known without any breach of this Agreement or that is independently developed by the Stockholder
without use of any Confidential Information. The Stockholder or Stockholder Affiliate shall bear the burden of establishing the
applicability of this exception by competent evidence.

 

(d)     Each Stockholder
agrees and acknowledges, that to the extent that it is the holder of warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of
Common Stock which were originally issued in connection with a private placement of securities of the Company pursuant to the terms
and conditions of a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Company, dated November 12, 2009, which Warrants include an anti-dilution
provision (Section 3(b) – Subsequent Equity Sales) which requires an adjustment to the exercise price and the number of shares
of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Warrants in the event of a “Dilutive Issuance” (as such term is
defined in the Warrant), that such Stockholder hereby waives the rights granted to such Stockholder under such Section 3(b) which
may result from the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, that a Dilutive Issuance shall be deemed not to have occurred
and that no adjustments shall result to the exercise price or the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of
such Warrants as a result from the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.

5.          Legend.
To the extent any Voting Shares are in certificated form, such certificates shall be imprinted with the following legend:

 

“THE
SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE ARE SUBJECT TO A VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY, A COPY OF WHICH IS ON FILE AT THE
OFFICE OF THE COMPANY AND IS AVAILABLE UPON REQUEST, AND BY ACCEPTING ANY INTEREST IN SUCH SHARES THE PERSON ACCEPTING SUCH INTEREST
SHALL BE DEEMED TO HAVE AGREED TO AND SHALL BECOME BOUND BY ALL THE PROVISIONS OF SUCH VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY.
ANY ATTEMPTED SALE, TRANSFER, PLEDGE, HYPOTHECATION OR OTHER DISPOSITION OF THE SHARES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOT IN COMPLIANCE
WITH THE TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE VOTING AGREEMENT AND IRREVOCABLE PROXY SHALL BE VOID AND OF NO FORCE AND EFFECT.”

 

6.          Further
Assurances. The Stockholders will each execute and deliver or cause to be executed and delivered all further documents
and instruments and take such reasonable further action as may be reasonably necessary in order to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby.

 

7.          Specific
Performance. The parties hereto agree and each Stockholder expressly acknowledges that the Company may be irreparably damaged
if for any reason any Stockholder fails to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, and that the Company may not have
any adequate remedy at law for money damages in such event. Accordingly, each Stockholder agrees that in the case of the failure
of any Stockholder to perform the Company shall be entitled to specific performance and injunctive and other equitable relief to
enforce the performance of this Agreement by each Stockholder, and further agrees that any such specific performance and injunctive
and/or other equitable relief, in addition to remedies at law or damages, is the appropriate remedy for any such failure to perform,
and further agrees that such Stockholder will not seek, and agrees to waive any requirement for, the securing or posting of a bond
in connection with the Company’s seeking or obtaining such equitable relief. This provision is without prejudice to any other
rights that the Company may have against any Stockholder for any failure to perform its obligations under this Agreement.
