Article 1

EXCHANGE OF STOCK AND DEBT SECURITIES

1.1 Exchange.

(a) The Investor hereby agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to exchange the aggregate principal amount of the Note together with all unpaid interest, totaling $26,169,367.33, as of the effective date of this Agreement, for shares of the Preferred Stock (the “Exchange Shares”) (such exchange the “Debt Exchange”).

(b) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the consummation of the Debt Exchange shall take place at the principal offices of the Company (the “Closing”), or at such other time, date or place as the parties hereto may mutually agree upon. At the Closing, the Investor shall deliver the Note for cancellation and the Issuer shall deliver to the Investor certificates representing the Exchange Shares.

(c) The Exchange Shares will be issued in full satisfaction and payment of the Note, and from and after the consummation of the Debt Exchange the Note shall represent solely the right to receive the Exchange Shares. In the event that as a result of the Debt Exchange, fractional shares of Preferred Stock would be required to be issued, such fractional shares shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share. The Issuer shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due with respect to the Debt Exchange.

1.2 Legend. Any certificate or certificates representing the Preferred Shares (or any part thereof) will bear the following legend, together with any and all other legends as may be required pursuant to applicable law (and the Issuer may issue appropriate corresponding stop transfer instructions to any transfer agent for any of such securities):

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under any applicable state law and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of unless registered under such act and applicable state laws or unless an exemption from the registration requirements under such act or applicable state law requirements is available.”

Such legend and the stop transfer instructions shall be removed and the Issuer shall issue a certificate representing such securities without such legend to the holder thereof if (i) such securities are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or (ii) if such securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of 1933, or (iii) if such securities are eligible for transfer under Rule 144(k) under the Securities Act of 1933, and, in the case of (ii) or (iii), when the Investor has furnished to the Issuer evidence to such effect that Issuer finds reasonably satisfactory which may include, without limitation, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to issuer (as to form and substance and counsel).
