Agreements
with Selling Stockholders
Registration
Rights Agreements
In
February 2013, November 2013 and August 2014, in connection with various loans received from Lambda, we entered into registration
rights agreements with Lambda. Pursuant to these agreements, we agreed to file, upon a demand by Lambda, a registration statement
covering the resale by Lambda of certain of the common stock held by Lambda. We also agreed to pay all of the expenses, including
reasonable legal fees, of Lambda in connection with the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part and the resale
of shares by Lambda under the registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part. We are obligated to use our reasonable
best efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective until such time as all the securities registered on such
registration statement on behalf of Lambda have been sold or are eligible for sale without restriction under the applicable securities
laws. The registration statement of which this prospectus forms a part has satisfied all of our registration obligations to Lambda
as of the date of this prospectus. Lambda’s rights under the registration rights agreements were assigned to the Wexford
Assignees pro rata in conjunction with the assignment of the Secondary Securities.
Investor
Rights Agreement
In
connection with our September 2007 financing, we entered into an investor rights agreement with the investors pursuant to which
we agreed to take such corporate actions as may be required, among other things, to entitle Lambda (i) to nominate two individuals
having reasonably appropriate experience and background to our Board of Directors (the “Board”) to serve as directors
until their respective successor(s) are elected and qualified, (ii) to nominate each successor to the Lambda nominees, provided
that any successor will have reasonably appropriate experience and background, and (iii) to direct the removal from the Board
of any director nominated under the foregoing clauses (i) or (ii). Under the investor rights agreement, we are required to convene
meetings of the Board at least once every three months. If we fail to do so, a Lambda director will be empowered to convene such
meeting. Arthur Amron and Paul Mieyal are the current Lambda directors. Lambda’s rights under the investor rights agreement
were assigned to the Wexford Assignees pro rata in conjunction with the assignment of the Secondary Securities.
