Section 1. Grant. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company hereby grants the Performance Shares to Grantee on March 31, 2014 on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein.

(a) Condition Precedent. Subject to Section 3(c), the Performance Shares shall be issued and become transferable (provided, that such transfer is otherwise in accordance with federal and

purposes of this Section 3(c), (i) beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”); and (ii) in determining the number of outstanding Shares, Grantee may rely on the number of outstanding Shares and other voting securities of the Company as reflected in (a) the Company’s most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q or Annual Report on Form 10-K, as the case may be, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), (b) a more recent public announcement by the Company, or (c) any other notice by the Company or the Company’s transfer agent setting forth the number of Shares or other voting securities of the Company outstanding.

(B) If: (1) the Shares to be issued to Grantee on March 31, 2014, together with the Shares issued and to be issued under the Equity Agreements, would exceed the Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount or the Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount; (2) stockholder approval of such issuance is deemed necessary in order to comply with the Nasdaq requirements or requirements of any other exchange and to receive approval of Nasdaq of the listing of the Shares on Nasdaq or such other exchange; and (3) the Company shall not have obtained Stockholder Approval prior to March 31, 2014, then (I) the Company shall issue to Grantee such number of Shares as may be issued, together with issuances to Grantee and Messrs. Knaster and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ pursuant to the Equity Agreements, below the Maximum Aggregate Ownership Amount or Maximum Aggregate Voting Amount, as the case may be, and, with respect to the remainder of the aggregate number of Shares to be issued, such Shares shall not be issued until and unless Stockholder Approval has been obtained; and (II) the Company shall provide each stockholder entitled to vote at a special meeting of stockholders of the Company (the “Stockholder Meeting”), which shall be promptly called and held no later than July 17, 2014 (the “Stockholder Meeting Deadline”), a proxy statement meeting the requirements of Section 14 of the Exchange Act (the “Proxy Statement”) soliciting each such stockholder’s affirmative vote at the Stockholder Meeting for approval of resolutions approving the Company’s issuance of any Shares issued and issuable pursuant to the Equity Agreements and all other transactions contemplated by the Equity Agreements (the “Stockholder Approval”) in accordance with applicable law, the rules and regulations of Nasdaq, the Company’s certificate of incorporation and bylaws and the Delaware General Corporation Law, as amended from time to time, and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such resolutions and to cause the Board to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such resolutions.

(C) If, despite the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts, Stockholder Approval is not obtained on or prior to the Stockholder Meeting Deadline, the Company shall not thereafter have any obligation to continue to try to obtain such approval, and instead the Company shall pay to Grantee within five (5) business days following the Stockholder Meeting Deadline the balance of the unissued Shares issuable to Grantee pursuant to this Agreement in cash in lieu of Shares, such cash amount to be equal to the product of the Average Share Price and the number of Shares remaining to be issued.

Section 4. Change in Control. Upon the occurrence of a Change in Control, the Company shall take any one of the following actions:

(a) The Company shall provide for the continuation or assumption of the Performance Shares and this Agreement by the acquiring or successor entity (or parent thereof), including the Company if it is the surviving entity, or for the substitution of the Performance Shares and this Agreement with terms comparable to the Performance Shares and this Agreement (in each case with appropriate adjustments as to the number and type of Shares (or other securities) underlying this Agreement). The determination of such appropriate adjustments and comparability shall be made by the Company and Grantee.

(b) The Company shall provide for the cancellation of all or any portion of the Performance Shares for value (payable in the form of cash, stock, securities, other property or any combination thereof) based upon the price per Share received or to be received by other stockholders of the Company in the Change in Control transaction.

In no event shall any action result in Grantee receiving cash or securities or assets that are less in value than Grantee would have received had Grantee owned such Shares which may be issuable hereunder to Grantee immediately prior to the Change in Control transaction.

For the purposes of this Agreement “Change in Control” means the occurrence of any one or more of the following events:

(i) a direct or indirect change in ownership or control of the Company effected through one transaction or a series of related transactions within a 12-month period, whereby any “person” (as defined in Section 3(a)(9) of the Exchange Act) or any two or more persons deemed to be one “person” (as used in Sections 13(d)(3) and 14(d)(2) of the Exchange Act) (in each case a “Person”) other than the Company or an employee benefit plan maintained by the Company, directly or indirectly acquire or maintain “beneficial ownership” (within the meaning of Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) of securities of the Company constituting more than 50% of the total combined voting power of the Company’s equity securities outstanding immediately after such acquisition;

(ii) at any time during a period of 12 consecutive months, individuals who at the beginning of such period constituted the board of directors of the Company (the “Board”) cease for any reason to constitute a majority of members of the Board; provided, however, that any new member of the Board whose election or nomination for election was approved by a vote of at least a majority of the directors then still in office who either were directors at the beginning of such period or whose election or nomination for election was so approved, shall be considered as though such individual were a member of the Board at the beginning of the period, but excluding, for this purpose, any such individual whose initial assumption of office occurs as a result of an

actual or threatened election contest with respect to the election or removal of directors or other actual or threatened solicitation of proxies or consents by or on behalf of a Person other than the Board;

(iii) the consummation of a merger or consolidation of the Company or any of its subsidiaries with any other corporation or entity, other than a merger or consolidation which would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity or, if applicable, the ultimate parent thereof) at least 50% of the combined voting power and total fair market value of the securities of the Company or such surviving entity or parent outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation; or

(iv) the consummation of any sale, lease, exchange or other transfer to any Person (other than an Affiliate of the Company), in one transaction or a series of related transactions within a 12-month period, of all or substantially all of assets of the Company and its subsidiaries.

For the purposes of this Agreement “Affiliate” means (A) any entity that, directly or indirectly, is controlled by the Company and (B) any entity in which the Company, directly or indirectly, has a significant equity interest, in each case as determined by the Board.

Section 5. Certificates. The certificates for the Performance Shares shall bear the following legend, in addition to any other legend deemed necessary or desirable by the Company:

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACTS (THE “STATE ACTS”) NOR IS SUCH REGISTRATION CONTEMPLATED. SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE ACT AND THE STATE ACTS, EXCEPT UPON DELIVERY TO THE COMPANY OF AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED FOR SUCH TRANSFER OR THE SUBMISSION TO THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE COMPANY OF EVIDENCE SATISFACTORY TO THE BOARD TO THE EFFECT THAT ANY SUCH TRANSFER WILL NOT BE IN VIOLATION OF THE ACT OR STATE ACTS OR ANY RULE OR REGULATION PROMULGATED THEREUNDER.

Among the other restrictions set forth in this Agreement, no shares of Performance Shares may be offered for sale, sold, pledged, assigned or transferred unless the Grantee shall have delivered to the Company, at Grantee’s expense, a written opinion to counsel, in a form reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the shares of Performance Shares to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from registration.

Section 6. Representations and Warranties. Grantee acknowledges that, when issued, the Performance Shares shall not have been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and will be issued to Grantee in reliance on an exemption from such registration. In connection with Grantee’s execution of this Agreement, Grantee represents and warrants to the Company and agrees to the following:

(a) Grantee has the legal capacity to enter into and perform under this Agreement, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of Grantee, enforceable against Grantee in accordance with its terms. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by Grantee does not and shall not conflict with, violate or cause a breach of any agreement, contract or instrument to which Grantee is a party or any judgment, order or decree to which Grantee is subject.

(b) The Performance Shares are being acquired by Grantee for Grantee’s own account, as principal, and not with a view to, or intention of, distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act, or any applicable state securities laws, and the Performance Shares shall not be disposed of in contravention of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities laws.

(c) Grantee has had an opportunity to ask questions and receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Performance Shares and has had full access to such other information concerning the Company as they have requested. Grantee has reviewed and understands the financial information regarding the Company.

(d) THE GRANTEE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE RESTRICTED SHARES ARE A SPECULATIVE INVESTMENT AND THAT THERE ARE SUBSTANTIAL RISKS INCIDENT TO AN INVESTMENT IN THE RESTRICTED SHARES. GRANTEE IS ABLE TO AFFORD A COMPLETE LOSS OF SUCH INVESTMENT. GRANTEE HAS SOUGHT SUCH ACCOUNTING, LEGAL AND TAX ADVICE AS HE HAS CONSIDERED NECESSARY TO MAKE AN INFORMED INVESTMENT DECISION WITH RESPECT TO THE ACQUISITION OF THE RESTRICTED SHARES. GRANTEE HAS CAREFULLY CONSIDERED AND UNDERSTAND THE RISKS AND OTHER FACTORS AFFECTING THE COMPANY AND THE SUITABILITY OF THE RESTRICTED SHARES AS AN INVESTMENT, INCLUDING THOSE LISTED IN THE COMPANY’S ANNUAL REPORT ON FORM 10-K FOR THE FISCAL YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2012, FILED BY THE COMPANY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION ON APRIL 1, 2013.

(e) Grantee is able to bear the economic risk of his or its investment in the Performance Shares for an indefinite period of time because (i) the Performance Shares will not be registered under the Securities Act and, therefore, cannot be sold unless subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available, (ii) the shares of Performance Shares are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state securities laws (including SEC Rule 144), and (iii) transfer of the Performance Shares is subject to contractual restrictions on transfer set forth in this Agreement. The Company has not agreed

to, and is not obligated to, register any resale or other transfer of the Performance Shares under the Securities Act or any state securities law, or to take any action to enable Grantee to qualify for an exemption from registration under any of those laws with respect to a resale or other transfer of the Performance Shares. Grantee understands that a limited trading market exists for the Performance Shares, and that one may not develop in the absence of registered public offering of the Performance Shares. Grantee is aware of the provisions of SEC Rule 144.

(f) Grantee has adequate net worth and annual income to provide for current needs and possible future contingencies and does not have an existing or foreseeable future need for liquidity of his investment in the Performance Shares. Grantee has sufficient net worth and annual income to withstand the probable inability to publicly sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of the Performance Shares for an indefinite period of time.

(g) Except as may be expressly set forth in the Purchase Agreement, Grantee understands that neither the Company, its subsidiaries, any of its and their officers or directors, nor any professional advisor of the Company or its subsidiaries, makes any representation or warranty to Grantee with respect to the Company, the Performance Shares or Grantee’s investment in the Performance Shares. Grantee understands that none of the Company, its subsidiaries, any of its and their officers or directors, nor any professional advisor of the Company or its subsidiaries, makes any representation or warranty to Grantee with respect to, or assumes any responsibility for, the tax consequences to Grantee of the acquisition of, investment in and disposition of the Performance Shares.

(h) Grantee is a resident of the state set forth on Grantee’s signature page to this Agreement under the heading “Address.” Grantee is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D. Grantee is not purchasing any of the Performance Shares to be acquired by him as a result of any advertisement, article, notice or other communication regarding such stock published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio or presented at any seminar or, to Grantee’s knowledge, any other general solicitation or general advertisement.
