WHEREAS, Each of the Parties have hereby determined that it is in their respective best interest to amend the Operating Agreement pursuant to the authority granted by Section 12.1 of the Operating Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and mutual agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree that the following provisions of the Operating Agreement are amended as follows:
| 1. | Paragraph (a) of Section 10.4 of the Operating Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced in its entirety as follows: |

(i) The Class A Interests will convert into such number of shares of Common Stock equal to: (x) the respective Class A conversion value set forth in clause 10.4(a)(ii) below (the “Conversion Value”); divided by (y) a conversion price per share calculated by reference to the dollar value which is equal to twenty five percent (25%) less than the prior Trading Value of twenty (20) trading days’ volume weighted average price of the Common Stock (the “Initial Conversion Price), provided, however, the Initial Conversion Price shall as of the date of this Amendment be not less than two dollars ($2.00) per share nor more than three dollars ($3.00) per share of Parent Common Stock, provided, further, however, that the Initial Conversion Price shall increase by fifty cents ($0.50) per share of Parent Common Stock every thirty (30) days after listing of the Parent Common Stock on an Exchange up to a maximum Initial Conversion Price of five dollars and fifty cents ($5.50) per share, and the Initial Conversion Price shall be subject to decrease of the 25% conversion discount to Trading Value in five equal increments of 5% commencing 30 days after listing on the Exchange, until the conversion discount to Trading Value is reduced to 0% 150 days after listing on the Exchange.
| (ii) | Class A Conversion Values: |
