• Convertible Preferred Stock In accordance with the undersigned's obligation under the Subscription Agreement to provide such information as may be required by law for inclusion in the Registration Statement, the undersigned agrees to promptly notify the Company of any inaccuracies or changes in the information provided herein that may occur subsequent to the date hereof at any time while the Registration Statement remains effective. All notices hereunder and pursuant to the Subscription Agreement shall be made in writing at the address set forth below. In addition, the undersigned hereby agrees to give the Company three days' prior notice in advance of sales of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement, and the undersigned hereby further agrees not to sell Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in the event the undersigned knows of any undisclosed material developments or transactions relating to the Company. The undersigned hereby acknowledges that it understands that any sales or other dispositions of any Series A Convertible Preferred Stock pursuant to the Registration Statement, once effective, must be settled with Series A Convertible Preferred Stock bearing the Company's general (not necessarily restricted) common shares CUSIP number. A beneficial owner named in the Registration Statement may obtain Series A Convertible Preferred Stock bearing the Company's general common shares CUSIP number for settlement purposes by presenting the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock to be sold (with a restricted CUSIP), together with a certificate of registered sale, to the Company's transfer agent, North American Transfer Co. The form of certificate of registered sale is available from the Company upon request. The process of obtaining such shares might take a number of business days. SEC rules generally require trades in the secondary market to settle in three business days, unless the parties to any such trade expressly agree otherwise. Accordingly, a beneficial owner who holds Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with a restricted CUSIP at the time of the trade might wish to specify an alternate settlement cycle at the time of any such trade to provide sufficient time to obtain Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with an unrestricted CUSIP in order to prevent a failed settlement. By signing below, the undersigned consents to the disclosure of the information contained herein in its answers above and the inclusion of such information in the Registration Statement and the related prospectus. The undersigned understands that such information will be relied upon by the Company in connection with the preparation or amendment of the Registration Statement and the related prospectus.
