NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and promises contained in this Agreement and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:
1. Certain Definitions. All capitalized terms that are used but not defined herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Merger Agreement. For all purposes of and under this Agreement, the following terms shall have the following respective meanings:
(a) | “Encumbrance” shall mean any lien, hypothecation, adverse claim, charge, security interest, pledge or option, proxy, right of first refusal, preemptive right, voting trust or any other similar right. |

2
applicable Law; (vi) the Company Board of Directors shall have made a Change in Recommendation; or (vii) if the Offer (including any extensions thereof permitted under the terms of the Merger Agreement and not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement) shall have expired without acceptance for payment of the Subject Shares pursuant to the Offer occurring on or before 5:30 p.m. (Philadelphia, Pennsylvania time) on the first business day following such expiration of the Offer (which, for the avoidance of doubt, shall include any extensions thereof permitted under the terms of the Merger Agreement and not in contravention of the terms of this Agreement). |
(c) | “Permitted Encumbrance” shall mean (i) any Encumbrance arising (A) hereunder (in connection therewith any restrictions on transfer or any other Encumbrance that has been waived by appropriate consent), (B) under the Company’s Organizational Documents or any Contracts with the Company listed in the Company SEC Documents or the Company Disclosure Schedules or (C) under securities laws; (ii) any right, agreement, understanding or arrangement which represents a financial interest in cash received upon sale of the Subject Shares and not an Encumbrance upon the Subject Shares prior to such sale; and (iii) any withdrawal rights under contract, deed or Applicable Law applicable to any trust that is also a stockholder of the Company as of the date hereof. |
(d) | “Subject Shares” shall mean, other than nontransferable restricted shares of Company Common Stock, (i) all Shares, Series A Preferred Shares, Series A-1 Preferred Shares or Series A-2 Preferred Shares beneficially owned by the Stockholder as of the date hereof; and (ii) all additional Shares, Series A Preferred Shares, Series A-1 Preferred Shares or Series A-2 Preferred Shares of which the Stockholder acquires beneficial ownership during the period from the date of this Agreement through the Expiration Date (including by way of stock dividend or distribution, split-up, recapitalization, combination, exchange of shares or issued upon the exercise of any options, the settlement of any restricted stock or other conversion of any convertible securities). |
(e) | “Transfer” A Person shall be deemed to have effected a “Transfer” of a Subject Share if such person, directly or indirectly, (i) sells, pledges, creates an Encumbrance with respect to (other than Permitted Encumbrances), assigns, exchanges, grants an option with respect to, transfers, gifts, disposes of or enters into any derivative arrangement with respect to such Subject Share or any interest therein; or (ii) enters into an agreement or commitment providing for the sale, pledge, creation of an Encumbrance (other than Permitted Encumbrances), assignment, exchange, transfer, gift, disposition of or any derivative arrangement with respect to, or grant of an option with respect to, such Subject Share or any interest therein. |
2. Transfer of Subject Shares.

Any action taken in violation of the foregoing sentence shall be null and void ab initio and such Stockholder agrees that any such prohibited action may and should be enjoined. |
(c) | Exceptions. Nothing in this Section 2 shall prohibit a Transfer of Subject Shares by Stockholder: (i) if Stockholder is an individual, pursuant to applicable laws of descent and distribution; (ii) if Stockholder is a partnership, limited partnership, corporation, limited liability company or trust, to one or more partners, shareholders or members of Stockholder or to an affiliated entity under common control with Stockholder or to any trustee or beneficiary of the trust; or (iii) if Stockholder is a trust, to distribute shares to its beneficiaries pursuant to the withdrawal rights of beneficiaries; provided, however, that a Transfer referred to in Section 2(c)(i) or (ii) hereof shall be permitted only if the transferee agrees in writing, reasonably satisfactory in form and substance to Parent, to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. |
(d) | Involuntary Transfer. If any involuntary Transfer of any of the Subject Shares shall occur (including, but not limited to, a sale by the Stockholder’s trustee in any bankruptcy, or a sale to a purchaser at any creditor’s or court sale), the transferee (which term, as used herein, shall include any and all transferees and subsequent transferees of the initial transferee) shall take and hold such Subject Shares subject to all of the restrictions, liabilities and rights under this Agreement, which shall continue in full force and effect until valid termination of this Agreement. |

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary |
4
herein, the Stockholder may withdraw such Subject Shares from the Offer at any time following the termination of this Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, (x) the Stockholder shall not be required, for purposes of this Agreement, to exercise any unexercised Company equity award held by the Stockholder and (y) the Stockholder shall not have any obligation under this Section 3 to tender (or caused to be tendered) any Subject Shares into the Offer to the extent such tender could cause the Stockholder to incur liability under Section 16(b) of the Exchange Act. |
(b) | Return of Shares. If the Offer is terminated or withdrawn by Merger Sub or the Merger Agreement is terminated prior to the purchase of Subject Shares in the Offer, Parent and Merger Sub shall promptly return, and shall cause any depository or paying agent, acting on behalf of Parent and Merger Sub, to promptly return all tendered Subject Shares to the Stockholder. |
(c) | Consent to Transaction. The Stockholder hereby consents to the Company’s entry into the Merger Agreement for purposes of Section 11 of the Series A Certificate of Designation and Section 6.4 of the Amended and Restated Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of October 18, 2016, by and among the Company, the Stockholder and Sundara Investment Partners, LLC (as amended, the “SPA”).

Solely for the benefit of the Stockholder (and not Parent or Merger Sub), the Company shall not agree to or give any modification, consent, waiver or amendment to or under any provision of the Merger Agreement that would be adverse to the Stockholder (including if such modification, consent, waiver or amendment that would reduce the amount, change the form or otherwise adversely affect the consideration payable to the Stockholder pursuant to the Offer or the Merger Agreement) without the prior written consent of the Series A Preferred Majority Holders (as defined in the Series A Certificate of Designation). |
4. Directors and Officers. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (or shall require the Stockholder to attempt to) limit or restrict the Stockholder in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company or any designee of, or Person affiliated with, the Stockholder who is a director or officer of the Company from acting in such capacity or voting in such person’s sole discretion on any matter (it being understood that this Agreement shall apply to the Stockholder solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company and that any director or officer of the Company who signs this Agreement on behalf of the Stockholder is signing only as an individual and not in any other capacity). No action (or inaction) taken by the Stockholder or any designee of, or Person affiliated with, the Stockholder who is a director or officer of the Company in their capacity as a director or officer of the Company shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.
5. Trustees. Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, nothing in this Agreement shall (or shall require the Stockholder to attempt to) limit or restrict any trustee
5
of the Stockholder in his or her capacity as a director or officer of the Company from acting in such capacity or voting in such person’s sole discretion on any matter (it being understood that this Agreement shall apply to the Stockholder solely in the Stockholder’s capacity as a stockholder of the Company and that any trustee who signs this Agreement on behalf of the Stockholder is signing only in his or her capacity as a trustee and not as an individual or in any other capacity). No action (or inaction) taken by any trustee in their capacity as a director or officer of the Company shall be deemed to constitute a breach of this Agreement.
6. No Ownership Interest. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to vest in Parent or Merger Sub any direct or indirect ownership or incidence of ownership of or with respect to any Subject Shares. All rights, ownership and economic benefits of and relating to the Subject Shares shall remain vested in and belong to the Stockholder, and neither Parent nor Merger Sub shall have the authority by virtue of this Agreement or the transactions to be consummated pursuant hereto to manage, direct, superintend, restrict, regulate, govern, or administer any of the policies or operations of the Company or exercise any power or authority to direct the Stockholder in the voting of any of the Subject Shares to the extent such Subject Shares are entitled to be voted, except as otherwise provided herein.

The consents to jurisdiction set forth in this paragraph shall not constitute general consents to service of process in the State of Delaware and shall have no effect for any purpose except as provided in this paragraph and shall not be deemed to confer rights on any Person other than the parties hereto.

(h) | Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction. If a final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the parties hereto agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to limit such term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases or to replace such term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable as so modified. In the event such court does not exercise the power granted to it in the prior sentence, the parties hereto agree to replace such invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a valid and enforceable term or provision that will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid or unenforceable term or provision. |
(i) | Construction. |
a. | For purposes of this Agreement, whenever the context requires: (A) the singular number shall include the plural, and vice versa; (B) the masculine gender shall include the feminine and neuter genders; (C) the feminine gender shall include the masculine and neuter genders; and (D) the neuter gender shall include the masculine and feminine genders. |
b. | The parties hereto agree that any rule of construction to the effect that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the construction or interpretation of this Agreement. |
c. | As used in this Agreement, the words “include” and “including,” and variations thereof, shall not be deemed to be terms of limitation, but rather shall be deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation.” |
(j) | Descriptive Headings. The descriptive headings herein are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to be part of or to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. |
(k) | Counterparts; Signatures. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each of the parties hereto and delivered to the other parties, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart. This Agreement may be executed and delivered by facsimile transmission, by electronic mail in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by any other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, or by combination of such means, each of which shall be deemed an original. |

(l) | No Recourse. Parent and Merger Sub agree that the Stockholder (in his capacity as a stockholder of the Company) will not be liable for claims, losses, damages, liabilities or other obligations resulting from the Company’s breach of the Merger Agreement. |
(m) | Expenses. Without duplication of the Company’s obligations under Section 12.1 of the SPA, Parent shall pay the out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred by the Stockholder (including the reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel for the Stockholder) related to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement (including related to any filings under the HSR Act) and/or this Agreement and/or the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any amendments or waivers hereto, in an amount not to exceed $100,000. For the avoidance of doubt, Parent’s payment of expenses of the Stockholder under this Section 12(m) shall constitute full satisfaction of the Company’s obligations to the Stockholder under Section 12.1 of the SPA with respect to expense reimbursement in connection with the Merger Agreement, this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, each party shall bear its own expenses in connection with this Agreement. |
(n) | Indemnification. |
(i) Parent (the “Indemnifying Party”) covenants and agrees, on the terms and subject to the limitations set forth in this Agreement, to indemnify and hold harmless Stockholder and Stockholder’s representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all Losses incurred in connection with, arising out of or resulting from any claims, demands, actions, proceedings or investigations (collectively, “Actions”) relating solely to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement (including any Actions brought by any of the stockholders, directors, officers or employees of any of Parent or Company relating thereto). For purposes of this Section 12(n), “Losses” means any direct loss, liability, cost, damage or expense (including, without duplication, reasonable fees and expenses of counsel, accountants, consultants and other experts) related to an Action for which an Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Indemnifying Party will not be obligated to provide indemnity hereunder to any Indemnified Party with respect to any Losses which (x) result from such Indemnified Party’s willful misconduct or gross negligence, (y) result primarily from any breach of any representation and warranty of such Indemnified Party contained in this Agreement or any breach of any covenant or agreement made or to be performed by such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or (z) constitute consequential, indirect, incidental, special, exemplary, punitive or enhanced damages or lost profits.
(iii) The Indemnifying Party will indemnify the Indemnified Parties pursuant to this Section 12(n) regardless of whether such Losses are incurred prior to or after
14
the Closing (provided, however, that such indemnification shall only be available in the instance of Losses relating to, incurred in connection with, arising out of or resulting from any Actions relating to the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement or this Agreement). The indemnification provided pursuant to this Section 12(n) is in addition to, and not in derogation of, and shall not supersede or modify, any other rights an Indemnified Party may have under applicable law, the certificate of incorporation or bylaws of the Company, or pursuant to any contract, agreement or arrangement; provided, however, that Losses will not be duplicated.
(iv) The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, in its sole discretion, to defend against, negotiate, settle, or otherwise deal with any third party Action that is or may be subject to indemnification hereunder (each an “Indemnifiable Claim”) (provided that the Indemnifying Party delivers a written confirmation to the Indemnified Party that the indemnification provisions of Section 12(n) are applicable to such Indemnifiable Claim and that the Indemnifying Party will indemnify such Indemnified Party in respect of such Indemnifiable Claim to the extent required by this Section 12(n)) and the Indemnified Party may participate, at his, her or its own expense, in the defense of such Indemnifiable Claim. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against, negotiate, settle or otherwise deal with any such Indemnifiable Claim, the Indemnified Party may defend against, negotiate, settle, or otherwise deal with such Indemnifiable Claim, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense. Without the prior written consent of each of the Indemnified Parties who are named in the Action subject to the Indemnifiable Claim (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), the Indemnifying Party will not settle or compromise or consent to the entry of judgment with respect to any Indemnifiable Claim (or part thereof) unless such settlement, compromise or consent (x) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Parties, (y) does not include any admission of wrongdoing on the part of such Indemnified Parties and (z) does not require such Indemnified Parties to pay any amount or suffer any loss and does not enjoin or restrict in any way the future actions or conduct of such Indemnified Parties.
