(b) No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. The Holder understands that nothing in the Exchange Documents or any other materials presented to such Person in connection with the exchange for the Note and/or the issuance of the Exchange Shares, the Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Person has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its exchange of the Note for the Exchange Shares and the issuance of the Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares. Such Person acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation or warranty from the Company or any other Person in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral.

Holder has the authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the Exchange Shares. Holder is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof.

WHEREAS, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company desires to exchange with the Holder, and the Holder desires to exchange with the Company, the Notes for Series A Preferred Stock and such other consideration as provided herein.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement, and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged, the Company and Holder agree as follows:

1. Terms of the Exchange. The Company and the Holder agree that the Holder will exchange the Notes, and will relinquish any and all rights the Holder may have under the Notes and the Transaction Documents in exchange for 6,177 shares of the Series A Preferred Stock (the “Exchange Shares” and collectively with the Conversion Shares and the Additional Shares (as defined below), the “Securities”).

2. Closing. Upon satisfaction of the conditions set forth herein, on the Closing Date, the closing (the “Closing”) of the transactions contemplated under this Agreement, the Certificate of Designation and the Side Letter (as defined below) (collectively, the “Transactions”) shall occur at the principal offices of the Company, or such other location as the parties shall mutually agree. At Closing, Holder shall deliver a copy of the Notes to the Company and the Company shall deliver to such Holder a certificate or other evidence representing the Exchange Shares, in the name(s) and amount(s) as requested by the Holder. To the extent that the original Notes are not surrendered by the Holder to the Company or its counsel at Closing, the Holder shall deliver the original Notes to the Company promptly after the Closing Date, and in any event within twenty (20) calendar day thereafter.

3. 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.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Holder. The Holder represents and warrants, as of the date hereof and as of the closing, to the Company as  follows:

(a) Authorization; Enforcement. The Holder has the requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the Transactions and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and the Certificate of Designation and the Side Letter (collectively, the “Exchange Documents”). The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Side Letter by the Holder and the consummation by it of the Transactions have been duly authorized by all necessary action on the part of the Holder and no further action is required by the Holder. The Exchange Documents have been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Holder (to the extent the Holder is a signatory thereto) and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Holder enforceable against the Holder in accordance with their terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b) No Legal, Tax or Investment Advice. The Holder understands that nothing in the Exchange Documents or any other materials presented to such Person in connection with the exchange for the Notes and/or the issuance of the Exchange Shares, the Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares constitutes legal, tax or investment advice. Such Person has consulted such legal, tax and investment advisors as it, in its sole discretion, has deemed necessary or appropriate in connection with its exchange of the Notes for the Exchange Shares and the issuance of the Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares. Such Person acknowledges that it has not relied on any representation or warranty from the Company or any other Person in making its investment or decision to invest in the Company, except as expressly set forth in this Agreement and not on any statements or representations of the Company or any of its agents, written or oral. The Holder understands that it (and not the Company) shall be responsible for its own tax liability that may arise as a result of this investment or the Transactions. “Person” means an individual, a limited liability company, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a trust, an unincorporated organization, any other entity and any governmental entity or any department or agency thereof.

(c) Regarding Holder. Holder is an “accredited investor”, as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), is experienced in investments and business matters, has made investments of a speculative nature and has purchased securities of companies in private placements in the past and, with its representatives, has such knowledge and experience in financial, tax and other business matters as to enable the Holder to utilize the information made available by the Company to evaluate the merits and risks of and to make an informed investment decision with respect to the proposed purchase, which represents a speculative investment. Holder has the authority and is duly and legally qualified to purchase and own the Exchange Shares. Holder is able to bear the risk of such investment for an indefinite period and to afford a complete loss thereof.

(d) Legend. The Holder understands that Exchange Shares have been issued (or will be issued in the case of the other Securities) pursuant to an exemption from registration or qualification under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, and except as set forth below, the Securities shall bear any legend as required by the “blue sky” laws of any state and a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED OR OTHERWISE 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 (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE HOLDER (IF REQUESTED BY THE COMPANY), WHICH COUNSEL AND OPINION ARE SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD OR ELIGIBLE TO BE SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE 144A UNDER SAID ACT.

(e) Removal of Legends. Certificates evidencing the Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares shall not be required to contain the legend set forth in Section 4(d) above or any other legend (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares, as applicable, is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of such Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares, as applicable, pursuant to Rule 144 (as defined herein) (assuming the transferor is not an affiliate of the Company), (iii) if such Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares, as applicable, are eligible to be sold, assigned or transferred under Rule 144 and the subscriber is not an affiliate of the Company (provided that the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares, as applicable, are eligible for sale, assignment or transfer under Rule 144 which shall be accompanied by an opinion of the Holder’s counsel as required above), (iv) in connection with a sale, assignment or other transfer (other than under Rule 144), provided that the Holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel to the Holder, which counsel and opinion are satisfactory to the Company, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such sale, assignment or transfer of such Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares, as applicable, may be made without registration under the applicable requirements of the Securities Act or (v) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including, without limitation, controlling judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the SEC). If a legend is not required pursuant to the foregoing, the Company shall no later than three (3) business days following the delivery by the Holder to the Company or the transfer agent (with notice to the Company) of a legended certificate representing the Exchange Shares and/or such Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares, as applicable (endorsed or with stock powers attached, signatures guaranteed, and otherwise in form necessary to affect the reissuance and/or transfer, if applicable), together with any other deliveries from the Holder as may be reasonably required by the Company and/or its transfer agent, as directed by the Holder, either: (A) provided that the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program and such securities are Conversion Shares, credit the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Holder shall be entitled to the Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian system or (B) if the Company’s transfer agent is not participating in the DTC Fast Automated Securities Transfer Program, issue and deliver (via reputable overnight courier) to the Holder, a certificate representing such Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares, as applicable, that is free from all restrictive and other legends, registered in the name of the Holder or its designee. The Company shall be responsible for any transfer agent fees or DTC fees with respect to any issuance of Exchange Shares and the removal of any legends with respect to any Exchange Shares and/or such Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares, as applicable, in accordance herewith, including, but not limited to, fees for the opinions of counsel rendered to the transfer agent in connection with the removal of any legends.

(f) Securities. The Holder understands that: (i) none of the Securities have been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, (B) the Holder shall have delivered to the Company (if requested by the Company) an opinion of counsel to the Holder, which counsel and opinion are satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such Securities, as applicable, to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, or (C) the Holder provides the Company with reasonable assurance that such Securities, as applicable, can be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to Rule 144 or Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (collectively, “Rule 144”); and (ii) any sale of the Securities, as applicable, made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144, and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of the Securities, as applicable, under circumstances in which the seller (or the Person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder.

5.  Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Holder:

The Exchange Documents have been (or upon delivery will have been) duly executed by the Company and, when delivered in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except: (i) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, (ii) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief or other equitable remedies and (iii) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

The Company is duly qualified as a foreign entity to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As used in this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on (i) the results of operations, assets, business, or financial condition of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, (ii) the transactions contemplated hereby or in any of the other Exchange Documents or (iii) the authority or ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under any of the Exchange Documents.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5(h)(ii), there are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary with any provision that adjusts the exercise, conversion, exchange or reset price of such security or instrument upon an issuance of securities by the Company or any Subsidiary, and there are no outstanding securities or instruments of the Company or any Subsidiary that contain any redemption or similar provisions, and there are no contracts, commitments, understandings or arrangements by which the Company or any Subsidiary is or may become bound to redeem a security of the Company or such Subsidiary.

(iii) Material Changes; Undisclosed Events, Liabilities or Developments. Since the date of the latest financial statements included within the SEC Reports, except as specifically disclosed in a subsequent SEC Report filed prior to the date hereof: (i) there has been no event, occurrence or development that has had or that would reasonably be expected to result in a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has incurred any liabilities (contingent or otherwise) other than (A) trade payables and accrued expenses incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice, and (B) liabilities not required to be reflected in the Company’s financial statements pursuant to GAAP or disclosed in filings made with the Commission, (iii) the Company has not altered its method of accounting, (iv) the Company has not declared or made any dividend or distribution of cash or other property to its stockholders or purchased, redeemed or made any agreements to purchase or redeem any shares of its capital stock, and (v) the Company has not issued any equity securities to any officer, director or Affiliate, except pursuant to existing Company equity incentive plans.

(v) Solvency; Seniority. Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the Transactions: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s tangible assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, consolidated and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). Except as set forth on Schedule 5(h)(v), the Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances, which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.

(f) Holder’s Rights. A breach by the Company of any of Sections 7(a)-(e) (inclusive) of this Agreement or Section 3 of the Certificate of Designation (each, a “Protective Provision”) shall trigger the following: at any time that any of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Harvest Small Cap Partners, L.P. and/or Harvest Small Cap Partners Master, Ltd. are outstanding upon (i) an uncured breach of any Protective Provision, or (ii) any uncured default of payment of any Interest or other dividend to Holder required by the Certificate of Designation, and such uncured breach is ongoing, the Company shall issue to Holder 16,473 shares of its Common Stock (the “Default Shares”) for each five (5) Trading Days (or pro rata thereof) that such breach or default is ongoing commencing on the date that such breach or default occurred; provided, that such number of shares shall be pro rata decreased for any conversion of Holder’s Exchange Shares into Common Stock; provided, further, that for any period during which two or more breaches or defaults are simultaneously occurring, Holder shall be entitled to receive the applicable amount of Default Shares for only one such breach or default so as to avoid the double issuance of Default Shares for the same default or breach period. The Company shall have the right to cure any such breach or default within three (3) business days without triggering the issuance of the Default Shares. “Trading Day” means a day on which the Principal Market is open for trading.

(g) Listing.  The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to promptly secure the listing of all of the Conversion Shares and the Additional Shares on the Nasdaq Capital Market. 

(h) Information Rights. Until the time that no shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued to Holder in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby remain outstanding, (i) the Company shall maintain the registration of the Common Stock under Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act even if the Company is not then subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act and to otherwise cause all public information requirements of Rule 144(c), and, if applicable, all information requirements of Rule 144(i) to be satisfied, and (ii) neither the Company nor any of its subsidiaries shall take any action which could be reasonably expected to result in the delisting or suspension of the Common Stock from the Principal Market. “Principal Market” means the Nasdaq Capital Market or such other Trading Market where the Common Stock is then listed or quoted. “Trading Market” means any of the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted for trading on the date in question: the NYSE American, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York Stock Exchange or the Principal Market (or any successors to any of the foregoing).

(i) Holder Cooperation Related to Notes Shares and Informational Requirements. The Holder will reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection with the issuance of the Conversion Shares and the Additional Shares through the book-entry facilities of The Depository Trust Company, if and when such shares are eligible to be issued through the book-entry facilities of The Depository Trust Company. The Holder shall provide the Company and its transfer agent and legal counsel a customary Rule 144 representation letter and such documents as the Company and its transfer agent and/or legal counsel shall reasonably request and cause its broker or custodian to provide a customary broker or custodian Rule 144 representation letter. Holder agrees that it will not effect any resale of the Conversion Shares and the Additional Shares unless (i) such resale is pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, (ii) the Company is then in compliance with the informational requirements of Rule 144(c), if applicable, and the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) or (iii) such Holder provides to the Company an opinion of its counsel, which opinion and counsel are reasonably acceptable to the Company, that such sale is otherwise permissible in accordance with Section 4(a)(1) of the Securities Act. Upon request by any Holder, the Company will promptly confirm (as promptly as practicable after the Holder’s request if such request is made between the Open of Business and the Close of Business on a Business Day) whether or not such informational and other requirements are satisfied, and the Holder will be entitled to rely on such confirmation. In addition, the Holder shall cause its broker to provide an undertaking from such broker that prior to executing any sale of the Conversion Shares and/or the Additional Shares on behalf of the Holder, such broker will confirm the Company has filed with the Commission the Annual Report on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q required to be filed under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act within the preceding 12 months (a “Broker Undertaking”). The Broker Undertaking shall further provide that no sales of any Conversion Shares or Additional Shares shall be made by such broker if the Holder has received a Company Non-Compliance Notice (as defined below). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall promptly notify the Holder in the event the Company is not in compliance with the informational requirements of Rule 144(c) (until such time as those requirements cease to apply under Rule 144(b)(1)) or the requirements of Rule 144(i)(2) (a “Company Non-Compliance Notice”).
