1.2 Initial Closing.

(a) The initial purchase and sale of up to 70,528,086 shares of Series E Preferred Stock (as specified on Schedule A attached hereto) shall take place in up to three (3) tranches either remotely via the exchange of documents and signatures, or at the offices of Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx PC, 1251 Avenue of the Xxxxxxxx, Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000, as set forth on Schedule A (collectively, the “Initial Closing”).

(i) First Tranche. The closing of the first tranche of the Initial Closing shall take place on December 18, 2012.

(ii) Second Tranche. The closing of the second tranche of the Initial Closing shall take place on or before March 14, 2013. The Board of Directors of the Company shall give written notice thereof to all Investors specifying therein the date of the closing of such second tranche (the “Second Tranche Notice”), which second tranche closing shall be held no less than fifteen (15) days after the Second Tranche Notice has been deemed to have been given pursuant hereto (but in no event later than March 14, 2013). The total amount sold in the second tranche of the Initial Closing shall be equal the amounts set forth on Schedule A except, if decided by a unanimous vote of the Board of Directors that a lesser amount should be called in the second tranche of the Initial Closing in which case the difference between the said amounts and the total amounts on Schedule A will be applied to the closing of the third tranche of the Initial Closing.

(iii) Third Tranche. The closing of the third tranche of the Initial Closing shall take place, on or before January 17, 2014, subject to the prior unanimous written approval of the Major Holders (as defined in this Section 1.2(a)(iii)) on or before December 31, 2013. If the Major Holders unanimously elect and agree to hold a closing of the third tranche of the Initial Closing, the Major Holders shall give written notice thereof to the Company and all other Investors specifying therein the date of the closing of such third tranche (the “Third Tranche Notice”), which third tranche closing shall be held no less than fifteen (15) days after the Third Tranche Notice has been deemed to have been given pursuant hereto (but in any event on or before January 17, 2014). In such event, each Investor listed on Schedule A hereto under the heading “Third Tranche of Initial Closing (on or before January 17, 2014)” shall purchase (and is hereby committing to purchase) the number of Shares set forth opposite its name under such heading. For purposes of this Section 1.2(a)(iii) and Section 9.16 hereof only, the term “Major Holders” shall mean and include each holder of at least five percent (5%) of the then outstanding shares of the Preferred Stock of the Company regardless of series (it being understood that (A) for purposes of determining if a holder is a Major Holder (1) such threshold shall be calculated based solely on outstanding shares of Preferred Stock on an as-converted to Common Stock basis, and (2) shares of Common Stock actually issued upon conversion of any series of Preferred Stock shall not be taken into account and (B) any vote of the Major Holders pursuant to this Section 1.2 shall be by individual holder and not based on the voting power of the Preferred Stock held by such holder).

(b) At the closing of each tranche of the Initial Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Investor a certificate representing the shares of Series E Preferred Stock that such Investor is purchasing at the closing of the applicable tranche of the Initial Closing as set forth on Schedule A against payment of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer to a non-interest bearing client trust bank account maintained by Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx PC (“Xxxxxxxxxx”), by check or by cancellation of indebtedness (including accrued interest) or by any combination thereof. Upon receipt of the full amount of the purchase price from all Investors (other than those who pay by check and/or by cancellation of indebtedness) at the closing of each tranche of the Initial Closing as set forth on Schedule A, and satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in Section 4, as confirmed by the certificate delivered by the Company to the Investors as set forth in Section 4(A)4.3, Section 4(B)4.3 or Section 4(C)4.3, as applicable, Xxxxxxxxxx, acting as the escrow agent, shall release the aggregate purchase price received from the Investors to the Company no later than two (2) business days after the receipt of all of the funds for such applicable tranche and all checks delivered in payment therefor shall be deemed released to the Company contemporaneously therewith. In the event that payment by an Investor is made at the closing of the first tranche of the Initial Closing, in whole or in part, by cancellation of indebtedness, then such Investor shall surrender to the Company for cancellation at the closing of the first tranche of the Initial Closing any evidence of such indebtedness or shall execute an instrument of cancellation in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. In the event that the full amount of the purchase price (including payment consideration paid by check or by cancellation of indebtedness) is not received within five (5) business days of the proposed closing of the applicable tranche, as set forth on Schedule A, then (1) Xxxxxxxxxx, as the escrow agent, shall promptly return all funds so delivered by Investors to its escrow account to such Investors in the amounts provided by each such Investor in connection with the closing of such applicable tranche, without interest, and (2) the Company will return to each Investor who paid by check its or his check and to all Investor who hold notes that otherwise would have been converted into Shares at the first tranche of the Initial Closing their convertible promissory notes (which notes shall not be deemed to have been cancelled and shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with their terms).

1.3 Second Closing.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the second purchase and sale of Series E Preferred Stock (as specified on Schedule A attached hereto) shall take place on or before June 30, 2013 (the “Second Closing”, together with the Initial Closing, each a “Closing”), upon such date determined by the Board of Directors of the Company, who shall determine the Second Closing Date no later than June 15, 2013. The Company shall provide the Investors with written notice of the date of the scheduled Second Closing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the scheduled Second Closing. The date of the Second Closing is herein referred to as the “Second Closing Date.” The parties hereto agree that the Investors participating in the Initial Closing may, but are not required to, participate in the Second Closing up to the full amount of their pro rata share of the funds to be invested therein. At the Second Closing, RMI (as defined below) shall match any and all investment proceeds by an aggregate amount of up to $6,000,000 subject to satisfaction of RMI’s condition as set forth in Sections 4(B)4.7, 4(C)4.6 and 6.6 of this Agreement (“RMI’s condition”). In the event that the aggregate amount of non-RMI investment proceeds received by the Company exceeds $6,000,000 RMI agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain additional financing to match such extension.

(b) At the Second Closing, the Company shall deliver to each purchaser participating therein a certificate representing the shares of Series E Preferred Stock that such Investor is purchasing at the Second Closing (the “Second Closing Shares”) against payment of the purchase price therefor by wire transfer or check to a non-interest bearing client trust bank account maintained by Xxxxxxxxxx, by check or by a combination of the foregoing. Upon receipt of the full amount of the purchase price at the Second Closing from all Investors (other than those who pay by check) and satisfaction of the closing conditions set forth in Section 6, as confirmed by the certificate delivered by the Company to the Investors as set forth in Section 6.4, Xxxxxxxxxx, acting as the escrow agent, shall release an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price received from the Investors to the Company no later than two (2) business days after the receipt of the funds in connection with the Second Closing and all checks delivered in payment therefor shall be deemed to be released to the Company contemporaneously therewith. In the event that the full amount of the purchase price is not received within five (5) business days of the scheduled Second Closing, then Xxxxxxxxxx, as the escrow agent, shall return all funds to the Investors in the amounts provided by each Investor in connection with the Second Closing, without interest and the Company will return to each Investor who paid by check its or his check.

1.4 RMI Investment.

Subject to the terms and conditions to this Agreement, RMI Investments, S.a.r.l. (“RMI”) shall match the investment amount of non-RMI Investors at any Closing and pursuant to Section 1.5 by an amount equal to 100% of the funds invested by all non-RMI Investors as set forth in Schedule A of this Agreement received in cash by the Company (up to $31,200,000 in the aggregate under this Agreement) and subject to satisfaction of the RMI’s condition. For clarity, RMI shall not be obliged to match an amount of investment provided by any non-RMI Investor at any Closing, in the event that the Company did not receive an amount equal to the full amount of the purchase price specified in Schedule A of this Agreement at or, as permitted under Section 1.5 below, prior to the applicable closing of each tranche of the Initial Closing and the full amount of the purchase price specified in Section 1.3 of this Agreement at the Second Closing. As set forth in Sections 1.2(a), and 1.3(a) hereof, the Company shall promptly notify RMI in writing about the amount of investments received by the Company from any such non-RMI Investor.

1.5. Right to Purchase Shares.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any Investor may, in its sole discretion, purchase any part or all of the Shares that otherwise would be purchasable at the third tranche of the Initial Closing Shares and, subject to the Board of Directors prior written consent, purchase any Second Closing Shares at any time prior to the closing of the third tranche of the Initial Closing or prior to the Second Closing Date (as applicable) upon thirty (30) calendar days’ prior written notice to the Company and RMI. As set forth in Section 1.4 hereof, RMI shall match the investment amount of all non-RMI Investors pursuant to this Section 1.5 and Section 1.4. It is understood and agreed that, unless such additional purchase occurs simultaneously with the closing of any of the tranches of the Initial Closing or the Second Closing, the date of any such purchase shall not be deemed a “Closing” for any purpose hereunder and, without limiting the foregoing, none of the conditions to closing set forth in Section 4 hereof shall apply to any such

purchase and sale except that upon receipt of funds representing the purchase price for the such Shares, the Company shall deliver to the Investor a certificate representing such Shares. If the Shares otherwise purchasable at the third tranche of the Initial Closing are purchased prior to the closing of the second tranche of the Initial Closing, RMI shall not be obligated to match the investment thereof unless and until (but simultaneously with) the closing of the second tranche of the Initial Closing. In the event that RMI matches investments of any non-RMI Investor, the amount of the respective investment of RMI set forth in Schedule A shall be decreased on the amount of funds transferred by RMI to the Company pursuant to the Section 1.4 and 1.5 of this Agreement.

1.6 Further Assurances. At and after each Closing, the Company and each Investor agree to take and do such further actions and things reasonably required consummate the purchase, sale, surrender and/or exchange of securities contemplated hereby.
