WHEREAS, the Holder desires to agree to tender the Notes for cancellation, including having (i) the Note Principal owed to Holder by the Company exchanged for shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, and (ii) the Note Interest waived and deemed fully satisfied, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, effective as of September 30, 2017;
WHEREAS, the Company desires to issue the Holder shares of the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock in exchange for the Holder tendering the Notes for cancellation;

The Purchase Price will be paid by the Holder to the Company through a Notice of Debt Satisfaction in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, evidencing the satisfaction of the Note Principal in exchange for the Shares and stating that the Holder is forever waiving the Note Interest. The number of Shares to be issued shall be determined as set forth in Section 2, below.
c) As set forth in the Certificate of Designation for the Company’s Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, each Share of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock is convertible into fifty (50) shares of the Company’s common stock at any time as set forth in the Certificate of Designation.

3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS BY HOLDER: The Holder hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
a) Purchase for Own Account. The Holder hereby represents that it is purchasing the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock for the its own account for investment and not with a view toward the resale or distribution to others; provided, that Holder may syndicate participations in the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock among a limited number of participants who all meet the suitability standards of an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D of the Securities Act and will share among themselves and the Lender an economic interest in the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock on a pari passu, pass through basis with investment intent, such that the availability of the private placement exemption for the issuance of the Note under Rule 506 of Regulation D of the Securities Act is preserved
b) Ability to Bear Economic Risk. Holder acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk, and represents that he is able, without materially impairing his financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of his investment.
c) Access to Information. The Holder acknowledges that the Holder has been furnished with such financial and other information concerning the Company, the directors and officers of the Company, and the business and proposed business of the Company as the Holder considers necessary in connection with the Holder’s investment in the Shares. As a result, the Holder is thoroughly familiar with the proposed business, operations, properties and financial condition of the Company and has discussed with officers of the Company any questions the Holder may have had with respect thereto. The Holder understands:
| Page 3 of 9 |
(i) The risks involved in this investment, including the speculative nature of the investment;
(ii) The financial hazards involved in this investment, including the risk of losing the Holder’s entire investment;
(iii) The lack of liquidity and restrictions on transfers of the Shares; and
(iv) The tax consequences of this investment.
The Holder has consulted with the Holder’s own legal, accounting, tax, investment and other advisers with respect to the tax treatment of an investment by the Holder in the Shares and the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares.
d) Shares Part of Private Placement. The Holder has been advised that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or qualified under the securities law of any state, on the ground, among others, that no distribution or public offering of the Shares is to be effected and the Shares will be issued by the Company in connection with a transaction that does not involve any public offering within the meaning of section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act, and under any applicable state blue sky authority. The Holder understands that the Company is relying in part on the Holder’s representations as set forth herein for purposes of claiming such exemptions and that the basis for such exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding the Holder’s representations, the Holder has in mind merely acquiring the Shares for resale on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of some predetermined event. The Holder has no such intention.
e) Further Limitations on Disposition. Holder further acknowledges that the Shares, and the shares of the Company’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the Shares, are restricted securities under Rule 144 of the Act, and, therefore, if the Company, in its sole discretion, chooses to issue any certificates reflecting the ownership interest in the Shares, those certificates will contain a restrictive legend substantially similar to the following:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
| Page 4 of 9 |
Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Holder further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares, or the shares of the Company’s common stock underlying the conversion of the Shares, unless and until:
(i) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or
(ii) Holder shall have obtained the consent of the Company and notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, Holder shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by such Holder to a partner (or retired partner) of Holder, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were Holders hereunder as long as the consent of the Company is obtained.
f) Accredited Investor Status. The Holder is an accredited investor.
g) Holder Authorization. The Holder, if not an individual, is empowered and duly authorized to enter into this Agreement under any governing document, partnership agreement, trust instrument, pension plan, charter, certificate of incorporation, bylaw provision or the like; this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Holder enforceable against the Holder in accordance with its terms; and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of the Holder is empowered and duly authorized to do so by the governing document or trust instrument, pension plan, charter, certificate of incorporation, bylaw provision, board of directors or stockholder resolution, or the like.
h) No Backup Withholding. The Social Security Number or taxpayer identification shown in this Agreement is correct, and the Holder is not subject to backup withholding because (i) the Holder has not been notified that he or she is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest and dividends or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the Holder that he or she is no longer subject to backup withholding.
i) Certificate of Designation. Holder has been provided with a copy of the Certificate of Designation for the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Certificate of Designation”), which sets forth all of the rights, privileges, and preferences with respect to the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock. Holder has had an opportunity to discuss any questions or concerns regarding the Certificate of Designation and the rights and preferences of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock with the Company’s management team and has received answers to all outstanding questions and had any issues addressed to the satisfaction of Holder.
