E. Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the April Securities Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.                  Exchange of Securities. On the Effective Date (as defined below), pursuant to Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act, the Holder hereby agrees to convey, assign and transfer the Note and the Warrant to the Company in exchange for which the Company agrees to issue the Exchanged Note, the Exchanged Warrant and the Exchanged Shares to the Holder as follows:

(e)                Concurrently herewith, the Holder shall execute and deliver the attached Amendment to November Securities Purchase Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C, to remove the restriction on Variable Rate Transactions (as defined therein) and the restriction from undertaking a reverse or forward stock split or reclassification of the Common Stock.

(f)                The Company and the Holder shall execute and/or deliver such other documents and agreements as are customary and reasonably necessary to effectuate the Exchange.

(g)               The Holder agrees not to transfer the Exchanged Shares (other than to an affiliate) at any time prior to the Lockup End Date (as defined in the Exchanged Notes).

The Company and each Subsidiary are duly qualified to conduct its respective businesses and are in good standing as a foreign corporation or other entity in each jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing, as the case may be, would not, individually or in the aggregate, have or reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect.

(b)               Authorization and Binding Obligation. The Company has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Exchanged Note, the Exchanged Warrant and each of the other agreements and certificates entered into by the parties hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (collectively, the “Exchange Documents”) and to issue the Exchanged Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof.

To the extent that the foregoing undertaking by the Company may be unenforceable for any reason, the Company shall make the maximum contribution to the payment and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible under applicable under law.

23.              Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement supersedes all other prior oral or written agreements between the Holder, the Company, their affiliates and Persons acting on their behalf with respect to the matters discussed herein, and this Agreement and the instruments referenced herein contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the matters covered herein and therein and, except as specifically set forth herein or therein, neither the Company nor the Holder makes any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters.

All covenants of the Company set forth in the November Securities Purchase Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference herein, mutatis mutandis, with “Exchanged Warrant” replacing “Warrant” and “Exchanged Warrant Shares and Exchanged Shares” replacing “Warrant Shares” for all purposes thereunder.

25.              Most Favored Nation. The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees from and after the date hereof that none of the terms offered to any Person with respect to any consent, release, amendment, settlement or waiver relating to the terms, conditions and transactions contemplated hereby (each a “Settlement Document”), is or will be more favorable to such Person than those of the Holder and this Agreement. If, and whenever on or after the date hereof, the Company enters into a Settlement Document, then (i) the Company shall provide notice thereof to the Holder immediately following the occurrence thereof and (ii) the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be, without any further action by the Holder or the Company, automatically amended and modified in an economically and legally equivalent manner such that the Holder shall receive the benefit of the more favorable terms and/or conditions (as the case may be) set forth in such Settlement Document, provided that upon written notice to the Company at any time the Holder may elect not to accept the benefit of any such amended or modified term or condition, in which event the term or condition contained in this Agreement shall apply to the Holder as it was in effect immediately prior to such amendment or modification as if such amendment or modification never occurred with respect to the Holder. The provisions of this Section 25 shall apply similarly and equally to each Settlement Document.

26.              No Commissions. Neither the Company nor the Holder has paid or given, or will pay or give, to any person, any commission, fee or other remuneration, directly or indirectly, in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

27.              Termination. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Effective Date has not occurred and the Company does not deliver the Exchange Note, the Exchanged Warrant and the Exchanged Shares to the Holder in accordance with Section 1 hereof, then, at the election of the Holder delivered in writing to the Company at any time after the fifth (5th) business day immediately following the date of this Agreement, this Agreement shall be terminated and be null and void ab initio and the Note and the Warrant shall not be terminated hereunder and shall remain outstanding as if this Agreement never existed.
