1.3 Performance Threshold. The distribution of the Escrow Shares shall be based upon the following performance threshold (the “Performance Threshold”) for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2011 (“Fiscal Year 2011”):

(a) The Fiscal Year 2011 Performance Threshold shall be audited Net Income equal to or greater than $10.0 million (the “2011 PT”).

Net Income will also be increased to adjust for any cash or non-cash charges resulting from the payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares in connection with the Financing Transaction.

1.4 Determination of 2011 PT.

(a) The 2011 PT shall be determined as of the date of the Company’s audited financial statements for 2011 are filed with the Commission pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to Section 13(a) or Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act, and therefore prepares and furnishes the documents required by Section 6 of the Registration Rights Agreement, the 2011 PT shall be determined in accordance with such prepared documents at such time.

(b) The Company will provide the Purchaser Representative with the Company’s audited financial statements for 2011, prepared in accordance with US GAAP, no later than the date for filing the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2011, including any extension for filing the Annual Report which may be requested under Rule 12b-25 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Annual Report”), with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) so as to allow the Purchaser Representative the opportunity to evaluate whether the 2011 PT was attained. The Purchaser Representative shall, promptly upon receipt of such financial statements (and in any event no later than two (2) business days thereafter), provide each of the Purchasers with copies of such financial statements and proposed Disbursement Instructions (as defined below) (collectively, the “Proposed Disbursement Materials”).

1.5 Distribution of the Escrow Shares. The parties other than the Escrow Agent hereby agree that the Escrow Shares shall be distributed for the 2011PT based on the following formula:

(a) In the event the Company achieves at least 95% of the Performance Threshold, all of the Escrow Shares shall be returned to the Principal Stockholder.

(b) If the Company achieves less than 95% of the applicable Performance Threshold, the Purchasers shall receive in the aggregate, on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares owned by each such Purchaser as of the earlier date of (i) distribution of the Escrow Shares or (ii) the occurrence of automatic conversion of Preferred Shares pursuant to designations of Preferred Shares, divided by the total number of Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares issued to all of the Purchasers on the Closing Date of the Financing Transaction), 10% of the Escrow Shares for each full percentage point by which the Performance Threshold was not achieved, not to exceed the total number of Escrow Shares initially deposited.

No later than five (5) business days after delivery of the Fiscal Year 2011 Annual Report to the Purchaser Representative, the Company and the Purchaser Representative shall provide joint written instructions in accordance with the calculations above to the Escrow Agent (the “Disbursement Instructions”) instructing the Escrow Agent to issue and deliver the applicable Escrow Shares. Promptly after receiving the Disbursement Instructions, the Escrow Agent will issue and deliver the Escrow Shares in accordance with the Disbursement Instructions. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, (i) if Escrow Shares are distributed pursuant to Section 1.5(b) above, only those Purchasers, and their assignees or transferees, who own Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares of the Company at the time that the Escrow Shares are distributed hereunder shall be entitled to receive the applicable Escrow Shares calculated based on their ownership interest on the distribution date, and (ii) the Purchaser Representative shall have no authority to provide or to cause to be provided the Disbursement Instructions to the Escrow Agent if Purchasers holding at least a majority of the Preferred Shares on the distribution date (based on the aggregate number of Preferred Shares held by all of the Purchasers on the distribution date), by notice given to the Purchaser Representative no later than one (1) business dayafter their receipt of the Proposed Disbursement Materials pursuant to Section 1.4(b) hereof, dispute the calculation of the 2011PT and/or the Escrow Shares to be distributed to the Purchasers or returned to the Principal Stockholder, as the case may be. Any Escrow Shares not delivered to any Purchaser because such Purchaser no longer holds Preferred Shares or Conversion Shares shall be returned to the Principal Stockholder.

If the Company does not achieve the 2011PT, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly cause the applicable Escrow Shares to be delivered to the Purchasers, including causing its transfer agent to promptly, but in no event longer than five (5) business days after delivery of the Disbursement Instructions, transfer the certificates into the names of the Purchasers. The Company shall also instruct its securities counsel to provide any written instruction required by the Escrow Agent or the transfer agent in a timely manner so that the issuances and delivery contemplated above can be achieved within seven (7) business days following delivery of the Fiscal Year 2011Annual Report to the Purchaser Representative.
