R E C I T A L S :
WHEREAS, the Company and the undersigned, are parties to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement dated on or about April 30, 2013 (the “Asset Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which (concurrently with the execution of this Agreement) the undersigned has been issued shares of Common Stock from the Company. Capitalized terms used in this Agreement, unless otherwise defined, are defined in the Asset Purchase Agreement; and
WHEREAS, as contemplated and required by the Asset Purchase Agreement, the undersigned desires to enter into this Agreement and restrict the sale, assignment, transfer, conveyance, hypothecation or alienation of the Purchase Price Shares contemplated as being issued under the Asset Purchase Agreement, all on the terms set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants, contained herein, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. The undersigned hereby agree that, during the period beginning on the date hereof and ending 180 days following the Closing of the Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Lock-Up Period”), the undersigned will not sell, assign, pledge or otherwise transfer any of the Purchase Price Shares that the undersigned beneficially owns, including (i) all shares of Common Stock that the undersigned may receive as a stock dividend or other distribution of shares of Common Stock, and (ii) all other securities of the Company that the undersigned may receive in a recapitalization or similar transaction, and the undersigned agrees not to take any of the preceding actions, without the Company’s prior written consent. In addition, the undersigned agrees that, during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned will not engage in (i) any short sale of any Purchase Price Shares or other Common Stock, (ii) any hedging transaction regarding the Purchase Price Shares or other Common Stock, or (ii) any grant of a put or call option regarding the Purchase Price Shares or other Common Stock.
2. The Purchase Price Shares may be transfer or sold under the following circumstances:
| A. | The undersigned may transfer (i) all or any portion of the Purchase Price Shares as a bona fide gift or gifts, provided that the donee or donees thereof agree to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein, and (ii) all or any portion of the Purchase Price Shares to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that the trustee of the trust agrees to be bound by the restrictions set forth herein, and provided further than any such transfer shall not involve a disposition for value. For purposes hereof, “immediate family and friends” shall mean any relationship by blood, marriage, adoption, or close business relationship. |

| B. | Following the end of the Lock-up Period, if the Trading Limit as defined below has been satisfied, an amount of the Purchase Price Shares equal to 5% of the Daily Trading Volume as defined below shall be released daily from the provisions of this Agreement. For example, if the 5% of the Daily Trading Volume was determined to be 1,000 shares, the undersigned would have 1,000 Purchase Price Shares released daily from the provisions of this Agreement. |
The term “Daily Trading Volume” means the average trading volume of the Common Stock as officially reported by the principal securities market in which the shares of Common Stock are listed or admitted for trading (including the Amex, Nasdaq Stock Market or the OTC Bulletin Board). The “Trading Limit” shall be reached if, prior to the referenced date, the Daily Trading Volume reaches or exceeds an average of 50,000 shares a day for 20 consecutive trading days. The Daily Trading Volume and Trading Limit shall be appropriately adjusted should the Company make a dividend or distribution, undergo a split or a reverse split or otherwise reclassify, its shares of Common Stock.
3. The undersigned consents to the entry of stop transfer instructions with the Company’s transfer agent and registrar against the transfer of shares of Common Stock except in compliance with the preceding provisions of this Agreement.
