C. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Stock Purchase Agreement, and concurrently with the Initial Closing, each Note Holder desires to convert all of the outstanding principal under such Note Holder’s Note, directly into shares of the Common Stock (the “Shares”), in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Section 2.7. Information. Each Note Holder and its advisors, if any, have been furnished with all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and information each Note Holder deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its purchase of the Securities, which have been requested by each Note Holder.

Section 2.9. Restricted Securities. The Note Holder understands that the Securities are characterized as “restricted securities” under the Securities Act inasmuch as the Securities are being offered in a transaction not involving a public offering. The Note Holder further acknowledges that the Securities may not be resold without registration under the Securities Act or the existence of an exemption therefrom.
