WHEREAS:

A. The Company and the Creditor are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon the exemption from securities registration afforded by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “ Securities Act ”) and Rule 144(d)(3)(ii) of the Securities Act, as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) under the Securities Act.

B. As of the date hereof, the Creditor holds $15,876,860 in principal amount and interest of promissory notes of the Company or its direct or indirect subsidiaries (the “ Existing Debt ”, and the amount owing pursuant thereto, the “ Debt Amount ”), which Existing Debt the Creditor purchased from Capital Sources of New York, a New York corporation ($2,343,500 principal amount plus interest), and Georgia Notes 18, LLC, a Florida limited liability company and $13,533,360 principal amount plus interest) (the “ Original Creditors ”), pursuant to a Note Purchase Agreement, dated as of September 12, 2014, between the Creditor and the Original Creditors.

C. The Company and the Creditor desire to enter into this Agreement, pursuant to which, among other things, the Creditor shall exchange, as set forth herein, in whole or in part, the Existing Debt for shares of the Company’s common stock, $0.001 par value per share (the “ Common Stock ”), as provided hereunder in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 3(a)(9) of the Securities Act.

NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Company and the Creditor hereby agree as follows:

1. EXCHANGES OF EXISTING DEBT.  At any time during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the date no Existing Debt remains outstanding (the “ Exchange Period ”), the Company and the Creditor agree, subject to Section 1(e) below, to exchange (each, an “ Exchange ”) all (reduced only as set forth in Section 1(e) below) of the Existing Debt into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (as defined below) (collectively, the “ Exchange Shares ”), on the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 1.  Certain capitalized terms used herein are defined in Section 1(h).

(a)  Exchange Right and Obligation . Subject to the provisions of Section 1(e), (i) at any time or times from the date hereof up to December 12, 2014 (the “ Outside Date ”), the Creditor shall be entitled to exchange any portion of the outstanding and unpaid Existing Debt into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock and (ii) on the Outside Date, the Creditor shall be obligated to exchange all (reduced only as set forth in Section 1(e) below) of the then still outstanding and unpaid Existing Debt into validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, in each case in accordance with Section 1(d), at the Exchange Rate (as defined below), subject to adjustment as described in Section 1(c) below to reflect the intention of the parties that the total number of Exchange Shares issued be based upon an average trading price of the Common Stock for a specified period of time subsequent to an Exchange.  The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any Exchange.  If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up to the nearest whole share. The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp, issuance and similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Common Stock upon Exchange of Existing Debt.

(b)  Exchange Rate . The number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon exchange of any Existing Debt pursuant to Section 1(a) shall be determined by dividing (x) the Debt Exchange Amount (as defined below) with respect to such Existing Debt by (y) the Exchange Price (the “ Exchange Rate ”), subject to adjustment as described in Section 1(c) below.

(i) “ Exchange Amount ” means, with respect to such Existing Debt to be exchanged hereunder, the aggregate of the Debt Amount of the Existing Debt to be exchanged hereunder, the Interest Amount with respect thereto and any other amounts owed by the Company to the Creditor thereunder.

(ii) “ Debt Exchange Amount ” means 125% of the Exchange Amount.

(iii) ” Exchange Price ” means, for any date of determination, the Closing Bid Price on the Exchange Date.  The Exchange Price for the Initial Exchange shall be $5.70. All such determinations will be appropriately adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, stock combination or other similar transaction during any such measuring period.

(iv) ” Interest Amount ” means, with respect to any portion of Existing Debt as of any Exchange Date, the greater of (I) any accrued and unpaid interest with respect to the such Existing Debt outstanding as of such Exchange Date under the terms of such Existing Debt; and (II) the difference of (x) the sum of (A) any accrued and unpaid interest outstanding with respect to the such Existing Debt as of the date the Creditor acquired such Existing Debt and (B) such aggregate amount of interest that would have accrued under such Existing Debt during the period commencing on the date the Creditor acquired the such Existing Debt through such Exchange Date (as defined below), less (y) any interest paid to the Creditor in cash with respect to such Existing Debt prior to such Exchange Date.

(c)  Adjustment to Number of Exchange Shares .

(i)          Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1(e) below, the total number of shares of Common Stock to be issued to Creditor in connection with this Exchange shall be adjusted on the 91st day following any Exchange Date (as defined below) or earlier if Creditor notifies the Company in writing that such date shall be earlier (the ninety (90) trading day period or shorter period following an Exchange Date, the “ True-Up Period ,” and the 91st day or day following the shorter period following the Exchange Date, the “ True-Up Date ”), as follows: (i) if the number of “VWAP Shares” (as defined below) exceeds the number of Exchange Shares initially issued pursuant to the applicable Exchange, then the Company will issue and deliver to Creditor in the same manner as described in Section 1(d) below additional shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between (x) the total number of VWAP Shares and (y) the number of Exchange Shares initially issued, and (ii) if the number of VWAP Shares is less than the number of Exchange Shares initially issued pursuant to an Exchange, then Creditor will return to the Company for cancellation that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between (x) the number of Exchange Shares issued pursuant to the Exchange and (y) the total number of VWAP Shares.

(ii)         The number of VWAP Shares shall be equal to the Exchange Amount divided by 80% of the VWAP of the Common Stock over the True-Up Period.

(iii)         Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 1(e) below, at any time during the True-Up Period, Creditor may, based on its reasonable discretion (including because of a decline in the trading price of the Common Stock), deliver a written notice to the Company by facsimile or email requesting that a specified number of additional shares of Common Stock be delivered and the reason for such additional delivery of shares. Creditor may in its sole discretion deliver one or more such notices during the True-Up Period. Within one trading day following delivery of each such notice, the Company shall deliver to Creditor, in compliance with the procedure set forth in paragraph 1(d) below (including, without limitation, issuance of the legal opinion to the transfer agent at the Company's sole cost and expense), the number of additional shares of Common Stock requested in the notice. Any additional shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to this Section 1(c) will be considered Exchange Shares for purposes of any calculation of the total number of shares to be issued by, or returned to, the Company pursuant to Section 1(c)(i) above.

(d) Mechanics of Exchange .

(i)  Exchange . To exchange any Exchange Debt into shares of Common Stock on any date during the Exchange Period (a “ Exchange Date ”), the Creditor shall deliver (whether via facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, a copy of an executed notice of exchange in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I (the “ Exchange Notice ”) to the Company.  On the Outside Date, the Creditor shall deliver (whether via facsimile or otherwise), for receipt on or prior to 11:59 p.m., New York time, on such date, the Exchange Notice to the Company for all (reduced only as set forth in Section 1(e) below) of the then still outstanding and unpaid Existing Debt. On or before the first (1st) Trading Day following the date of receipt of an Exchange Notice, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or otherwise an acknowledgment of confirmation, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit II, of receipt of such Exchange Notice to the Creditor and the Company’s transfer agent (the “ Transfer Agent ”). On or before the second (2nd) Trading Day following the date of receipt of an Exchange Notice, the Company shall, (1) provided that the Transfer Agent is participating in The Depository Trust Company’s (the “ DTC ”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Creditor shall be entitled to the Creditor’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (2) if the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, issue and send (via reputable overnight courier) to the address as specified in the Exchange Notice, a certificate, registered in the name of the Creditor, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Creditor shall be entitled. The Person or Persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon an Exchange of the Existing Debt shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock on the Exchange Date.  

(ii)  Company’s Failure to Timely Exchange . If the Company shall fail, for any reason or for no reason, to issue to the Creditor within three (3) Trading Days after the Company’s receipt of an Exchange Notice (whether via facsimile or otherwise) (the “ Share Delivery Deadline ”), a certificate for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Creditor is entitled and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or to credit the Creditor’s balance account with DTC for such number of shares of Common Stock to which the Creditor is entitled upon the Creditor’s exchange of any Existing Debt (as the case may be) (a “ Exchange Failure ”), then, as the sole and exclusive remedy available to the Creditor, (1) the Company shall pay in cash to the Creditor on each day after such Share Delivery Deadline that the issuance of such shares of Common Stock is not timely effected an amount equal to 2% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock not issued to the Creditor on a timely basis and to which the Creditor is entitled multiplied by (B) the Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such shares of Common Stock to the Creditor without violating Section 1(d)(i) and (2) the Creditor, upon written notice to the Company, may void its Exchange Notice with respect to, and retain or have returned (as the case may be) any portion of the Existing Debt that has not been exchanged pursuant to such Exchange Notice, provided that the voiding of an Exchange Notice shall not affect the Company’s obligations to make any payments which have accrued prior to the date of such notice pursuant to this Section 1(d)(ii) or otherwise. In addition to the foregoing, if on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline, the Company shall fail to issue and deliver a certificate to the Creditor and register such shares of Common Stock on the Company’s share register or credit the Creditor’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Creditor is entitled upon the Creditor’s Exchange hereunder (as the case may be), and if on or after such Share Delivery Deadline the Creditor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Creditor or its designee of all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, or a sale of a number of shares of Common Stock equal to all or any portion of the number of shares of Common Stock, issuable upon such Exchange that the Creditor or its designee so anticipated receiving from the Company, then, in addition to all other remedies available to the Creditor or its designee, the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after receipt of the Creditor’s or its designee’s written request, pay cash to the Creditor or its designee, as applicable, in an amount equal to the Creditor’s or its designee’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (including, without limitation, by any other Person in respect, or on behalf, of the Creditor) (the “ Buy-In Price ”), at which point the Company’s obligation to so issue and deliver such certificate or credit the Creditor’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Creditor is entitled upon the Creditor’s exchange hereunder (as the case may be) (and to issue such shares of Common Stock) shall terminate.

(iii)  Book-Entry .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth in this Section 1, following Exchange of any portion of the Existing Debt in accordance with the terms hereof, the Creditor shall not be required to physically surrender any certificate evidencing the Existing Debt to the Company unless (A) the full Exchange Amount represented by the Existing Debt is being exchanged (in which event the Existing Debt shall be delivered to the Company following exchange thereof as contemplated by Section 1(d)(i)) or (B) the Creditor has provided the Company with prior written notice (which notice may be included in an Exchange Notice) requesting reissuance of a certificate with respect to the Existing Debt upon physical surrender of a certificate with respect to the Existing Debt. The Creditor shall provide the Company with written partial releases relating to all Exchanges of the Existing Debt. The Creditor and the Company shall maintain records showing the amount of the Existing Debt exchanged and/or paid and/or adjusted (as the case may be) and the dates of such exchanges and/or payments and/or adjustments (as the case may be) or shall use such other method, reasonably satisfactory to the Creditor and the Company, so as not to require physical surrender of any certificate with respect to the Existing Debt upon any Exchange until the Existing Debt being Exchanged has been fully satisfied.

(iv)  Pro Rata Exchange; Disputes . In the event of a dispute as to the number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Creditor in connection with an Exchange of the Existing Debt of an adjustment to the number of Exchange Shares to be delivered following the True-Up Period, the Company shall issue to the Creditor the number of shares of Common Stock not in dispute and resolve such dispute in accordance with Section 1(e).

(e)  Limitations on Exchanges .  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in the Existing Debt, the Existing Debt shall not be exchangeable by the Creditor hereof, and the Company shall not effect any exchange of the Existing Debt or otherwise issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto, to the extent (but only to the extent) that after giving effect to such exchange or other share issuance hereunder the Creditor (together with its Affiliates) would beneficially own in excess of 9.99% (the “ Maximum Percentage ”) of the Common Stock.  To the extent the above limitation applies, the determination of whether the Existing Debt shall be exchangeable (vis-à-vis other convertible, exercisable or exchangeable securities owned by the Creditor or any of its Affiliates) and of which such securities shall be convertible, exercisable or exchangeable (as among all such securities owned by the Creditor and its Affiliates) shall, subject to such Maximum Percentage limitation, be determined on the basis of the first submission to the Company for conversion, exercise or exchange (as the case may be). No prior inability to exchange the Existing Debt, or to issue shares of Common Stock, pursuant to this paragraph shall have any effect on the applicability of the provisions of this paragraph with respect to any subsequent determination of exchangeability. For purposes of this paragraph, beneficial ownership and all determinations and calculations (including, without limitation, with respect to calculations of percentage ownership) shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “ Exchange Act ”).  The provisions of this paragraph shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms of this paragraph to correct this paragraph (or any portion hereof) which may be defective or inconsistent with the intended Maximum Percentage beneficial ownership limitation herein contained or to make changes or supplements necessary or desirable to properly give effect to such Maximum Percentage limitation. For any reason at any time until the Existing Debt has been exchanged, upon the written or oral request of the Creditor, the Company shall within one (1) Business Day confirm orally and in writing to the Creditor the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding, including by virtue of any prior conversion, exchange or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities into Common Stock, including, without limitation, pursuant to the Existing Debt or securities issued pursuant to this Exchange Agreement. In addition, under no circumstances whatsoever may the aggregate number shares of Common Stock issued to Creditor in connection with the exchange of the Existing Debt at any time exceed 19.99% of the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding or of the voting power unless the Company has obtained either (i) its stockholders’' approval of the issuance of more than such number of shares of Common Stock pursuant to NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 5635(d) or (ii) a waiver from The NASDAQ Stock Market of the Company’s compliance with Rule 5635(d).

(e) DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of any Exchange Price, the Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price or fair market value (as the case may be) or any adjustment to the Exchange Shares, the Company or the Creditor (as the case may be) shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations (as the case may be) via facsimile or e-mail (i) within two (2) Business Days after receipt of the applicable notice giving rise to such dispute to the Company or the Creditor (as the case may be) or (ii) if no notice gave rise to such dispute, at any time after the Company or the Creditor learned of the circumstances giving rise to such dispute. If the Creditor and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation within two (2) Business Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation (as the case may be) being submitted to the Company or the Creditor (as the case may be), then the Company shall, within two (2) Business Days, submit via facsimile or e-mail the disputed determination of any Exchange Price, the Closing Bid Price, the Closing Sale Price or fair market value (as the case may be) or any adjustment to the Exchange Shares to an independent, reputable investment bank selected by the Company and reasonably approved by the Creditor. The Company and the Creditor shall cause the investment bank to perform the determinations or calculations (as the case may be) and notify the Company and the Creditor of the results no later than ten (10) Business Days from the time it receives such disputed determinations or calculations (as the case may be). Such investment bank’s determination or calculation (as the case may be) shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error. The party whose determinations are furthest from such investment bank’s determination shall pay the expenses of such investment bank.

(f) INITIAL EXCHANGE.  As of the date hereof (the “ Initial Exchange Date ”), the Creditor shall be deemed to have delivered an Exchange Notice to effect an Exchange with respect to such aggregate initial Debt Exchange Amount and such initial Exchange Price as set forth on the signature page of the Creditor.  If the Company fails to deliver the Common Stock with respect to such initial Exchange on or prior to the Share Delivery Deadline with respect thereto, the Creditor shall have the option, by delivery of written notice to the Company, to terminate this Agreement, with no liability to the Company or the Creditor.

(xii) Creditor acknowledges that it has carefully reviewed the this Agreement and the Company’s filings with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission, which are available on the Internet at www.sec.gov, all of which documents and filings Creditor acknowledges have been made available to it. Creditor has been given the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from, the Company concerning this Agreement, the issuance to it of the Shares, and the Company’s business, operations, financial condition and prospects, and Creditor has been given the opportunity to obtain such additional information, to the extent the Company possesses such information or can acquire it without unreasonable effort or expense, necessary to verify the accuracy of same as Creditor reasonably desires in order to evaluate its investment in the Company pursuant its acquisition of the Shares.

THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

(xvi) The legend set forth above will be removed, and the Company will issue and deliver the Shares without such legend to Creditor in the manner set forth in Section 1(d) of this Agreement.

(d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or Indemnified Liabilities are incurred. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any person or entity to the extent that the aggregate of all Indemnified Liabilities subject to the indemnification by the Company exceeds the Debt Amount.

(d) The indemnification required by this Section 6 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy of the Company Indemnitees and the Creditor Indemnitees.

(a)  Reservation . The Company shall initially reserve 7,968,899 shares of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting Exchanges of the Existing Debt.  So long as any of the Existing Debt remains outstanding and is held by the Creditor, the Company shall take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting Exchanges of such Existing Debt, a number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, as of any date of determination, of at least 150% of the number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the exchange of all of the Existing Debt then outstanding and held by the Creditor (without regard to any limitations on exchanges) (the “ Required Reserve Amount ”).  

(b)  Insufficient Authorized Shares . If, notwithstanding Section 7(a), and not in limitation thereof, at any time while the Existing Debt remains outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon exchange of the Existing Debt held by the Creditor of at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Required Reserve Amount (an “ Authorized Share Failure ”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for such Existing Debt. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than sixty (60) days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholder for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.  In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.  At any time after the Stockholder Meeting Deadline (as defined below), in the event that the Company is prohibited from issuing shares of Common Stock upon any exchange due to the failure by the Company to have sufficient shares of Common Stock available out of the authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock (such unavailable number of shares of Common Stock, the “ Authorization Failure Shares ”), in lieu of delivering such Authorization Failure Shares to the Creditor, the Company shall pay cash in exchange for the redemption of such portion of the Debt Amount exchangeable into such Authorized Failure Shares at a price equal to the sum of (i) the product of (x) such number of Authorization Failure Shares and (y) the greatest Closing Sale Price of the Common Stock on any Trading Day during the period commencing on the date the Creditor delivers the applicable Exchange Notice with respect to such Authorization Failure Shares to the Company and ending on the date of such issuance and payment under this Section 7(b) and (ii) to the extent the Creditor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Creditor of Authorization Failure Shares, any brokerage commissions and other out-of-pocket expenses, if any, of the Creditor incurred in connection therewith.  Nothing contained in Section 7(a) or this Section 7(b) shall limit any obligations of the Company under any other provision hereunder or in the Existing Debt.

(a)  Holding Period .  For the purposes of Rule 144 of the Securities Act, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the holding period of the Exchange Shares may be tacked on the holding period of the Existing Debt, and the Company agrees not to take a position contrary to this Section 8(a).  The Company shall be responsible for the delivery of any legal opinion required by the transfer agent in connection with the issuance of the Exchange Shares without any restricted legend and the fees and expenses of counsel with respect to any such legal opinion.

(b)  Further Assurances; Additional Documents .  The parties shall take any actions and execute any other documents that may be necessary or desirable to the implementation and consummation of this Agreement upon the reasonable request of the other party.

(c)  No Oral Modification .  This Agreement may only be amended in writing signed by the Company and by the Creditor.  All waivers relating to any provision of this Agreement must be in writing and signed by the waiving party.

(d)  Expenses .  The Company shall reimburse Creditor or its designee(s) up to $25,000 for all legal fees, costs and expenses incurred by it or its Affiliates in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Exchange Documents, including in connection with post-Closing filings with the SEC, which amount was previously advanced by the Company to Creditor. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, each party to this Agreement shall bear its own expenses in connection with transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company shall be responsible for the payment of any financial advisory fees, legal expenses of counsel to the Company (including, without limitation, with respect to any legal opinion issued in connection herewith or any Exchange), DTC fees, or transfer agent fees relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby.  

(e)  Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial .  All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York.  Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in The City of New York, Borough of Manhattan, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or in connection herewith or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives personal service of process and consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address for such notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof.  Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law.   EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE, AND AGREES NOT TO REQUEST, A JURY TRIAL FOR THE ADJUDICATION OF ANY DISPUTE HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(f)  Headings; Gender . The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement. Unless the context clearly indicates otherwise, each pronoun herein shall be deemed to include the masculine, feminine, neuter, singular and plural forms thereof. The terms “including,” “includes,” “include” and words of like import shall be construed broadly as if followed by the words “without limitation.” The terms “herein,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and words of like import refer to this entire Agreement instead of just the provision in which they are found.

(g)  Remedies .  The Creditor and each Affiliate of the Creditor that holds any Securities shall have all rights and remedies set forth in the Exchange Documents and all rights and remedies which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or contract and all of the rights which such holders have under any law. Any Person having any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover damages by reason of any breach of any provision of this Agreement and to exercise all other rights granted by law.  Furthermore, the Company recognizes that in the event that it fails to perform, observe, or discharge any or all of its obligations under any of the Exchange Documents, any remedy at law may prove to be inadequate relief to the Creditor.  The Company therefore agrees that the Creditor shall be entitled to seek specific performance and/or temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief from any court of competent jurisdiction in any such case without the necessity of proving damages and without posting a bond or other security.

(h)  Withdrawal Right . Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in (and without limiting any similar provisions of) the Exchange Documents, whenever the Creditor exercises a right, election, demand or option under an Exchange Document and the Company does not timely perform its related obligations within the periods therein provided, then the Creditor may rescind or withdraw, in its sole discretion from time to time upon written notice to the Company, any relevant notice, demand or election in whole or in part without prejudice to its future actions and rights.

(i)  Payment Set Aside . To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to the Creditor hereunder or the Creditor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other Person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, foreign, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred. Unless otherwise expressly indicated, all dollar amounts referred to in this Agreement and the other Exchange Documents are in United States Dollars (“ US Dollars ”), and all amounts owing under this Agreement and all other Exchange Documents shall be paid in US Dollars. All amounts denominated in other currencies shall be converted in the US Dollar equivalent amount in accordance with the Dollar Exchange Rate on the date of calculation. “ Dollar Exchange Rate ” means, in relation to any amount of currency to be converted into US Dollars pursuant to this Agreement, the US Dollar exchange rate as published in the Wall Street Journal on the relevant date of calculation.

(j)  Counterparts .  This Agreement may be executed in two or more identical counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party; provided that a facsimile signature shall be considered due execution and shall be binding upon the signatory thereto with the same force and effect as if the signature were an original, not a facsimile signature.

(k)  Survival .  The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants in this Agreement shall survive the execution and delivery hereof and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(l)  Headings .  The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

(m)  Severability; Usury .  If any term or provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule of law or public policy, all other terms and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any party.  Upon determination that any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to attempt to agree on a modification of this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible to the fullest extent permitted by law in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated hereby are fulfilled to the greatest extent possible. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or any other Exchange Document (and without implication that the following is required or applicable), it is the intention of the parties that in no event shall amounts and value paid by the Company, or payable to or received by the Creditor, under the Exchange Documents, including without limitation, any amounts that would be characterized as “interest” under applicable law, exceed amounts permitted under any such applicable law. Accordingly, if any obligation to pay, payment made to the Creditor, or collection by the Creditor pursuant the Exchange Documents is finally judicially determined to be contrary to any such applicable law, such obligation to pay, payment or collection shall be deemed to have been made by mutual mistake of the Creditor and the Company and such amount shall be deemed to have been adjusted with retroactive effect to the maximum amount or rate of interest, as the case may be, as would not be so prohibited by the applicable law. Such adjustment shall be effected, to the extent necessary, by reducing or refunding, at the option of the Creditor, the amount of interest or any other amounts which would constitute unlawful amounts required to be paid or actually paid to the Creditor under the Exchange Documents. For greater certainty, to the extent that any interest, charges, fees, expenses or other amounts required to be paid to or received by the Creditor under any of the Exchange Documents or related thereto are held to be within the meaning of “interest” or another applicable term to otherwise be violative of applicable law, such amounts shall be pro-rated over the period of time to which they relate.

(n)  No Third Party Beneficiaries .  This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns, and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person.

(o)  Further Assurances .  Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

(p)  No Strict Construction .  The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.

(q)  Successors and Assigns .  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.

(r)  Notices .  Any notices, consents, waivers or other communications required or permitted to be given under the terms of this Agreement must be in writing and will be deemed to have been delivered:  (i) upon receipt, when delivered personally; (ii) upon receipt, when sent by facsimile (provided confirmation of transmission is mechanically or electronically generated and kept on file by the sending party); or (iii) one business day after deposit with an overnight courier service, in each case properly addressed to the party to receive the same.  The addresses and facsimile numbers for such communications shall be (x) if to the Company, at the address set forth on its signature page attached hereto or (y) if to the Creditor, at the address set forth on its signature page attached hereto, or to such other address and/or facsimile number and/or to the attention of such other Person as the recipient party has specified by written notice given to each other party five (5) days prior to the effectiveness of such change.  Written confirmation of receipt (A) given by the recipient of such notice, consent, waiver or other communication, (B) mechanically or electronically generated by the sender's facsimile machine containing the time, date, recipient facsimile number and an image of the first page of such transmission or (C) provided by an overnight courier service shall be rebuttable evidence of personal service, receipt by facsimile or receipt from an overnight courier service in accordance with clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, respectively.
