C. | Stockholder Waiver. |
On October 28, 2013, the Issuer, S.R.

D. | Lockup Agreement |
The executive officers and directors of the Issuer, S.R.

One has agreed that for a period of 180 days following the date of the prospectus related to the IPO, it will not, without the prior written consent of the Representatives, (1) offer for sale, sell, pledge, or otherwise dispose of (or enter into any transaction or device that is designed to, or could be expected to, result in the disposition by any person at any time in the future of) any shares of Common Stock (including, without limitation, shares of Common Stock that may be deemed to be beneficially owned by S.R.
