WHEREAS, each of the undersigned currently owns such shares of common stock of the Company (the “Shares”) as set forth on the signature page hereto; and

WHEREAS, the undersigned desire to form a group (the “Group”) for purposes of voting their shares at any annual or special meeting of the Company;

NOW THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED, this 4 day of August 2013, by the undersigned and each other person and entity executing this Joint Filing and Voting Agreement (this “Agreement”):

Each of the undersigned hereby covenants and agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, at any and all meetings of stockholders of the Company, or at any adjournment, postponement, rescheduling or continuation thereof, or in any other circumstances upon which a vote, consent (including unanimous written consents), agreement or other approval is sought, he/it shall vote (or cause to be voted) all of the voting securities of the Company owned or controlled by him/it (whether now owned or hereafter acquired) and shall otherwise consent or agree in such manner as may be directed by Alain Peracca in his sole and absolute discretion. Each of the undersigned, as a holder of voting securities of the Company, shall be present in person or by proxy at all meetings of stockholders of the Company, including, without limitation, the Special Meeting, so that all voting securities held by him/it are counted for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum at such meeting

Each of the parties hereto represents that he/it has full power to enter into this Agreement and has not, prior to the date of this Agreement, executed or delivered any proxy or entered into any other Joint Filing and Voting Agreement or similar arrangement with respect to the securities of the Company, other than one that has expired or terminated prior to the date hereof.

So long as this Agreement is in effect, each of the undersigned shall provide written notice to Alain Peracca of (i) any of their purchases or sales of securities of the Company, or (ii) any securities of the Company over which they acquire or dispose of beneficial ownership. Notice shall be given no later than 24 hours after each such transaction.

The relationship of the parties hereto shall be limited to carrying on the business of the Group in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Such relationship shall be construed and deemed to be for the sole and limited purpose of carrying on such business as described herein. Nothing herein shall be construed to authorize any party to act as an agent for any other party, or to create a joint venture or partnership, or to constitute an indemnification. Nothing herein shall restrict any party’s right to purchase or sell securities of the Company, as he/it deems appropriate, in his/its sole discretion, provided that all such purchases and sales are made in compliance with all applicable securities laws.

This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which, taken together, shall constitute but one and the same instrument, which may be sufficiently evidenced by one counterpart.
