WHEREAS, the Parties desire to set forth their agreements and understandings with respect thereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
| 1. | Conversion to Series B Preferred Share. |
| (a) | Effective as of the date hereof, the Debt Amount as reflected on Schedule 1 to this Agreement (the “Convertible Debt Amount”) shall be convertible into shares of the Company’s Series B Preferred Share (the “Conversion Shares”), at a conversion price as reflected on Schedule 1 to this Agreement (the “Conversion Price”); |
| (b) | Upon execution of this Agreement, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue shares of Series B Preferred Stock to the Debt-Holder, and the Debt-Holder shall acknowledge the repayment of the Debt. |
| 2. | Amounts Repaid in Full. For and in consideration of the issuance of the Conversion Shares to Debt-holder, the Converted Debt Amount, when fully converted, shall be deemed to be repaid in full, and the Company shall have no further obligations in connection with the Converted Debt Amount. |
| 3. | Additional Rights and Preferences. |
| (a) | Dividends Rights. Each share of Series B Preferred Stock will carry an annual dividend in the amount of eight percent (8%) of the Conversion Price which shall be cumulative, payable solely upon redemption, liquidation or conversion. |
| (b) | Redemption Rights. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, at any time during the periods set forth on the table immediately following this paragraph (the “Redemption Periods”), the Company will have the right, at the Company’s option, to redeem all or any portion of the shares of Series B Preferred Stock, exercisable on not more than three (3) Trading Days (as defined herein) prior written notice to the Holders, in full, in accordance with this Section 3(b).

| 6. | Debt-holder’s Representation. The Debt-holder acknowledges that the Company is issuing the Conversion Shares to Debt-holder in reliance upon the following representations made by Debt-holder: |
| (a) | Debt-holder is acquiring the Conversion Shares for investment for its own account and not with the view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof. Debt-holder understands and acknowledges that the Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and other representations of Debt-holder as expressed herein. Debt-holder further represents that it does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participation to any third person with respect to any of the Conversion Shares. |
| 2 |
| (b) | Debt-holder (i) has had, and continues to have, access to detailed information with respect to the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company; (ii) has received or has been provided access to all material information concerning an investment in the Company; and (iii) has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information or documents from, and to ask questions and receive answers of, the officers, directors and representatives of the Company to the extent necessary to evaluate the merits and risks related to an investment in the Company represented by the Conversion Shares. |
| (c) | As a result of Debt-holder’s study of the aforementioned information and Debt-holder’s prior overall experience in financial matters, and Debt-holder’s familiarity with the nature of businesses such as the Company, Debt-holder is properly able to evaluate the capital structure of the Company, the business of the Company, and the risks inherent therein. |

| (g) | Debt-holder realizes that because of the inherently speculative nature of businesses of the kind conducted and contemplated by the Company, the Company’s financial results may be expected to fluctuate from month to month and from period to period and will, generally, involve a high degree of financial and market risk that could result in substantial or, at times, even total losses for investors |
