AGREEMENT

1.

Exchange.

1.1Exchange; Acknowledgement. Effective as of the date hereof, each sixty (60) Series 1 Preferred Shares shall hereby be automatically and irrevocably exchanged for one (1) Series 2 Preferred Share, rounded up to the nearest whole share (the “Exchange”) such that each Holder shall be issued the number of Series 2 Preferred Shares set forth opposite the name of such Holder on Schedule A (the “New Shares”) pursuant to this Agreement.

1.2Stock Certificates. At or promptly following the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) each Holder shall surrender and deliver, or cause to be surrendered and delivered, to the Company for cancellation the stock certificates representing such Holder’s Series 1 Preferred Shares (such stock certificates, the “Original Certificates”) or a customary affidavit of loss with respect to such Original Certificates and (b) the Company shall deliver to each Holder a certificate representing the number of New Shares set forth opposite the name of such Holder on Schedule A. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the failure of a Holder to deliver the Original Certificates or the affidavit of loss shall not preclude such Holder from enforcing the terms hereof. The Articles of the Series 2 Preferred Shares are attached on Schedule B.

1.3Stated Capital. The parties acknowledge and agree that an amount shall be added to the stated capital account maintained in respect of the Class 2 Preferred Shares in the capital of the

4.6Delays or Omissions. No delay or omission to exercise any right, power or remedy accruing to any party under this Agreement, upon any breach or default of any other party under this Agreement, shall impair any such right, power or remedy of such non-breaching or non-defaulting party nor shall it be construed to be a waiver of any such breach or default, or an acquiescence therein, or of or in any similar breach or default thereafter occurring; nor shall any waiver of any single breach or default be deemed a waiver of any other breach or default theretofore or thereafter occurring. Any waiver, permit, consent or approval of any kind or character on the part of any party of any breach or default under this Agreement, or any waiver on the part of any party of any provisions or conditions of this Agreement, must be in writing and shall be effective only to the extent specifically set forth in such writing.
