Article 1

EXCHANGE OF STOCK AND DEBT SECURITIES

1.1               Exchange.

 

(a)                The Creditor hereby agrees, subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, to exchange the aggregate principal amount of the Debt, together with all interest thereon accrued up to but not including the effective date of such exchange, for 22,131 shares of the Issuer’s Series D Preferred Stock, (the “Debt Exchange”).

At the Closing, the Creditor shall deliver the Debt for cancellation and the Issuer shall deliver to the Creditor the aforementioned consideration for the Debt Exchange.

 

  
 

(c)                The consideration for the Debt Exchange will be issued in full satisfaction and payment of the Debt, and from and after the consummation of the Debt Exchange the Debt shall represent solely the right to receive the consideration for the Debt Exchange. In the event that as a result of the Debt Exchange, fractional shares of Series D Preferred Stock would be required to be issued, such fractional shares shall be rounded up or down to the nearest whole share. The Issuer shall pay any documentary, stamp or similar issue or transfer tax due with respect to the Debt Exchange.

1.2               Legend. Any certificate or certificates representing the Series D Preferred Stock (or any part thereof) will bear the following legend, together with any and all other legends as may be required pursuant to applicable law (and the Issuer may issue appropriate corresponding stop transfer instructions to any transfer agent for any of such securities):

“The securities represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or under any applicable state law and may not be transferred, sold or otherwise disposed of unless registered under such act and applicable state laws or unless an exemption from the registration requirements under such act or applicable state law requirements is available.”

 

Such legend and the stop transfer instructions shall be removed and the Issuer shall issue a certificate representing such securities without such legend to the holder thereof if (i) such securities are registered under the Securities Act of 1933, or (ii) if such securities are sold pursuant to an exemption of the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933. In either case, the Creditor shall furnish to the Issuer evidence to such effect that Issuer finds reasonably satisfactory which may include, without limitation, an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Issuer (as to form and substance and counsel).

1.3               Registration. The Company will file a resale registration statement for all of the Common Shares underlying the Series D Preferred Stock within 45 days from the signing of this Agreement, on a best-efforts basis.

3.3               Investment Intent. Creditor is acquiring the shares being delivered to Creditor under this Agreement for its own account and with no present intention of distributing or selling any of them in violation of the Securities Act of 1933 or any applicable state securities law. Creditor is aware that an investment in the Issuer is speculative and involves certain risks, including the possible loss of the entire investment. Creditor has made an independent examination and investigation of an investment in the shares and the Issuer and has depended on the advice of its legal and financial advisors and agrees that the Issuer will not be responsible in any way whatsoever for the Creditor's decision to invest in the shares and the Issuer. Creditor (i) has adequate net worth and means of providing for its current financial needs and possible personal contingencies, (ii) has no need for liquidity in this investment, and (iii) is able to bear the economic risks of an investment in the shares for an indefinite period of time.

Creditor acknowledges and agrees that a restrictive legend consistent with the foregoing has been or will be placed on the certificates for the shares and related stop transfer instructions will be noted in the transfer records of the Issuer and/or its transfer agent for the shares, and that such Creditor will not be permitted to sell, transfer or assign any of the shares acquired hereunder until such shares are registered or an exemption from the registration and prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act of 1933 is available.
