The terms of the Debentures, including but not limited to the obligations to deliver the Conversion Shares, shall otherwise remain in effect as if the acceptance of this offer were a formal Notice of Conversion (including but not limited to any liquidated damages and compensation in the event of late delivery of the Conversion Shares).

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the obligations of the Holders under this letter agreement are several and not joint with the obligations of any other holder or any other holders of Debentures and Warrants to Purchase Common Stock of the Company (each, an “Other Holder”) under any other agreement related to the conversion of debentures or exercise of such warrants (“Other Agreement”), and the Holder shall not be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any Other Holder or under any such Other Agreement. Additionally, the Company represents and warrantes to the Holder that no other consideration has been paid to any other party to waive or consent to the Financing or the transactions contemplated hereunder.

The Company hereby represents and warrants as of the date hereof and covenants and agrees that none of the terms offered to any Other Holder with respect to any Other Agreement (or any amendment, modification or waiver thereof), is or will be more favorable to such Other Holder than those of the Holder and this letter agreement.
