RECITALS
A. The Company and the Holder are parties to, among other agreements, a Member Interest Purchase and Sale Agreement dated April 12, 2011, a copy of which is attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (the “MIPSA”).
B. Pursuant to the MIPSA, the Holder shall receive the purchase price of Six Million Seven Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($6,775,000), which shall consist of Four Hundred Thousand Dollars ($400,000) in cash and Six Million Three Hundred Seventy-Five Thousand Dollars ($6,375,000) payable to the Holder in shares of the Company’s common stock, which shall be calculated based on a per share price of $0.75 per share (“Per Share Price”), such that the Company shall issue to the Holder eight million five hundred thousand (8,500,000) shares of the Company’s common stock (“Equity Portion”).
C. In order to induce the Holder to enter into the MIPSA, the Company has agreed to grant to Holder the right to additional shares if the 10-day volume weighted average price of the Company’s common stock is below the Per Share Price during the period of twenty four (24) months following the Closing Date, on the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises, representations, warranties, covenants and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties mutually agree as follows:
1. Consideration. In consideration of the Holder entering into this Agreement and the MIPSA, the Company hereby agrees that five million five hundred thousand (5,500,000) shares (the “Protected Shares”) of the Equity Portion shall be subject to the downside price protection specified in Section 2 below for a period of twenty four (24) months following the Closing Date (the “Protection Period”).
2. Adjustment of Per Share Price; Additional Issuance.
(a) If, during the Protection Period, the 10-day volume weighted average price (“VWAP”) of the Company’s common stock (the “10-Day VWAP”) is less than or equal to $0.60 per share (the “First Triggering Per Share Price”), then the Holder may elect to adjust the Per Share Price so that the Per Share Price shall equal the 10-Day VWAP (the “First Adjusted Per Share Price”) on the Triggering Date (as defined below).
(b) If, during the Protection Period, the 10-Day VWAP is less than or equal to $0.35 per share (the “Second Triggering Per Share Price”), then the Holder may elect to adjust the Per Share Price so that the Per Share Price shall equal the 10-Day VWAP (the “Second Adjusted Per Share Price”) on the Triggering Date.
(c) Notice of Triggering Date. The Holder shall provide the Company written notice of its election to adjust the Per Share Price to the First Adjusted Per Share Price or the Second Adjusted Per Share Price, as the case may be, within the earlier of (i) thirty (30) calendar days after the Triggering Date; and (ii) the last day of the fiscal quarter in which the Triggering Date occurs. The “Triggering Date” is the date that the10-Day VWAP is less than or equal to the First Triggering Per Share Price or the the Second Triggering Per Share Price, as the case may be.
(d) Whenever the Per Share Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2(a) above, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of common stock obtained by (i) multiplying the number of Protected Shares held by the Holder on the Triggering Date by the Per Share Price, and (ii) subtracting the number of Protected Shares held by the Holder on the Triggering Date from the quotient so obtained by dividing the product specified in Section 2(d)(i) by the First Adjusted Per Share Price,.
1
(e) Whenever the Per Share Price is adjusted pursuant to Section 2(b) above, the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of shares of common stock obtained by (i) multiplying the number of Protected Shares held by the Holder on the Triggering Date by the Per Share Price, and (ii) subtracting the number of Protected Shares held by the Holder on the Triggering Date and any additional shares issued pursuant to Section 2(d) above from the quotient so obtained by dividing the product specified in Section 2(e)(i) by the Second Adjusted Per Share Price.
(f) Issuance of Additional Shares. The Company shall, within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt of a notice of Triggering Date pursuant to Section 2(c), issue and deliver to the Holder a certificate evidencing the additional shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to this Section 2 (the “Additional Shares”).
(g) Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of its common stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding common stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of common stock, (c) combine its outstanding shares of the common stock into a smaller number of shares of the common stock, or (d) the Company’s outstanding common stock shall have been changed into a different number of shares or a different class solely as a result of a reclassification, exchange, recapitalization or similar transaction, then, in each such event, (x) in the case of Clauses (a),(b) or (c), each of the Per Share Price, First Triggering Per Share Price and the Second Triggering Per Share Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Per Share Price, First Triggering Per Share Price and the Second Triggering Per Share Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the respective Per Share Price, First Triggering Per Share Price and the Second Triggering Per Share Price, then in effect or (y) in the case of Clause (d), then the Per Share Price, First Triggering Per Share Price and Second Triggering Per Share Price shall be appropriately adjusted to reflect such event. The Per Share Price, First Triggering Per Share Price and the Second Triggering Per Share Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 2(g). The number of Protected Shares and the number of Additional Shares that the Holder shall thereafter, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of common stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 2(g)) be issuable by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the respective Per Share Price, First Triggering Per Share Price and the Second Triggering Per Share Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 2(g)) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the respective Per Share Price, First Triggering Per Share Price and the Second Triggering Per Share Price, in effect on the date of such issuance.
(h) Termination of Additional Issuance Provisions. The provisions of Sections 2(a) through 2(g) shall terminate and be of no further force or effect on the earlier of (i) the Company’s issuance of Additional Shares pursuant to the Holder’s election to adjust the Per Share Price to the Second Adjusted Per Share Price, and (ii) the end of the Protection Period.

"THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE "1933 ACT").
