f. Approvals. No authorization, approval or consent of any court, governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, or stock exchange or market or the stockholders of the Company is required to be obtained by the Company for the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement, except such authorizations, approvals and consents that have been obtained.

None of the Company’s SEC Documents contained, at the time they were filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company with the SEC under the 1934 Act on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Document prior to the expiration of any such extension.

The Company is not aware of any valid basis for any such claim that (either individually or in the aggregate with all other such events and circumstances) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding or unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees, writs, injunctions or stipulations to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, that involve the transaction contemplated herein or that, alone or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its properties, business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or results of operations, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed. There are no proposals currently under consideration or currently anticipated to be under consideration by the Board of Directors or the executive officers of the Company which proposal would (i) change the Certificate of Incorporation or by-laws of the Company, each as currently in effect, with or without stockholder approval, which change would reduce or otherwise adversely affect the rights and powers of the stockholders of the Common Stock or (ii) materially or substantially change the business, assets or capital of the Company, including its interests in Subsidiaries.

n. No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offer or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby.

o. Dilution. Each of the Company and its executive officers and directors is aware that the number of shares issuable on conversion of the Notes, or upon exercise of the Warrants or pursuant to the other terms of the Transaction Documents, may have a dilutive effect on the ownership interests of the other stockholders (and Persons having the right to become stockholders) of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligations to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes and Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants are binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company, and the Company will honor such obligations, including honoring every Notice of Conversion (as contemplated by the Notes), unless the Company is subject to an injunction (which injunction was not sought by the Company) prohibiting the Company from doing so.

p. Fees to Brokers, Placement Agents and Others. Except for commissions which the Company will owe Xxxxxxxx & Xxxxxxxx LLC upon completion of each Closing hereunder, the Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any Person for brokerage commission, placement agent or finder’s fees or similar payments by Buyer relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for such fees arising as a result of any agreement or arrangement entered into by the Buyer without the knowledge of the Company (a “Buyer’s Fee”), Buyer shall have no obligation with respect to such fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this subsection that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Buyer, its employees, officers, directors, agents, and partners, and their respective Affiliates, from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including the costs of preparation and attorney’s fees) and expenses suffered in respect of any such claimed or existing fees (other than a Buyer’s Fee).

No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company.

r. Confirmation. The Company agrees that, if, to the knowledge of the Company, any events occur or circumstances exist prior to the payment of the Initial Net Purchase Price or any Additional Net Purchase Price to the Company which would make any of the Company’s representations or warranties set forth herein materially untrue or materially inaccurate as of such date, the Company shall immediately notify the Buyer in writing prior to such date of such fact, specifying which representation, warranty or covenant is affected and the reasons therefor.

s. Title. The Company and its Subsidiaries, if applicable, own and have good and marketable title in fee simple absolute to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all their respective real properties and good title to their other respective assets and properties, subject to no liens except as have been disclosed to the Buyer.

The Company owns or possesses or can obtain on commercially reasonable terms sufficient legal rights to all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses (software or otherwise), information, processes and similar proprietary rights (“Intellectual Property”) necessary to the business of the Company as presently conducted, the lack of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

There are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, judgments, orders or decrees to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound which involve indemnification by the Company with respect to infringements of Intellectual Property, other than in the ordinary course of its business.

(ii) No Breach by Employees. The Company is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under any contract or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would materially interfere with the use of his or her efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as presently conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business as presently conducted, will, to the Company’s knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any such employee is now obligated. The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to use any inventions of any of its employees made prior to their employment by the Company of which it is aware.

So long as any amounts remain owing under any of the Notes, neither the Buyer nor any of its Affiliates shall engage in any short sales of, or sell put options or similar instruments with respect to, the Common Stock. Notwithstanding the above, if the Buyer elects to receive shares of Common Stock in payment of the Company’s obligations under the Notes, the Buyer may sell shares of Common Stock against delivery of the Conversion Shares, pursuant to Section 7.

(iv) Confession of Judgment. The Buyer agrees it will not file a Confession of Judgment unless and until an Event of Default or a Liquidity Default (as defined in the Notes) under a Note has occurred; provided, however, that upon such an Event of Default, the Buyer shall be entitled to immediately file such Confession in an ex parte fashion.

b. Covenants, Acknowledgements and Agreements of the Company. As a condition to the Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Securities contemplated by this Agreement, and as a material inducement for the Buyer to enter into this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and all of the Notes are paid and performed in full, or within the timeframes otherwise specifically set forth below, the Company shall comply with the following covenants:

(i) Filings. From the date hereof until all the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares either have been sold by the Buyer, or may permanently be sold by the Buyer without any restrictions pursuant to Rule 144, (the “Registration Period”), the Company shall timely make all filings required to be made by it under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, Rule 144 or any United States state securities laws and regulations thereof applicable to the Company or by the rules and regulations of the Principal Trading Market, and such reports shall conform to the requirement of the applicable laws, regulations and government agencies, and, unless such filing is publicly available on the SEC’s XXXXX system (via the SEC’s web site at no additional charge), the Company shall provide, upon written request, a copy thereof to the Buyer promptly after such filing. The Company shall furnish to the Buyer, upon written request, so long as the Buyer owns any Purchased Securities or Common Stock, promptly upon request, (1) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the 1933 Act and the 1934 Act, (2) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (3) such other information as may be reasonably requested to permit the Buyer to sell such securities pursuant to Rule 144 without registration.

(ii) Reporting Status. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any of the Purchased Securities and for at least twenty (20) Trading Days thereafter, the Company shall file all reports required to be filed with the SEC pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, shall take all reasonable action under its control to ensure that adequate current public information with respect to the Company, as required in accordance with Rule 144(c)(2) of the 1933 Act, is publicly available, and shall not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the 1934 Act even if the 1934 Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

(iii) Listing. The Company’s Common Stock shall be listed or quoted for trading on any of (a) the American Stock Exchange, (b) New York Stock Exchange, (c) the Nasdaq Global Market, (d) the Nasdaq Capital Market, or (e) the Nasdaq OTC Bulletin Board. The Company shall promptly secure the listing of all of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange and automated quotation system, if any, upon which the Common Stock is then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain such listing of all securities from time to time issuable under the terms of the Transaction Documents. The Company will comply in all material respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the by-laws or rules of the Principal Trading Market and/or the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (“FINRA”) or any successor thereto, as the case may be, applicable to it at least through the date which is sixty (60) days after the later of the date on which (1) all of the Notes have been converted, (2) all of the Notes have been paid in full, or (3) all of the Warrants have been fully exercised.

(iv) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds received hereunder (a) to prepay in the amount of $102,500 that certain Convertible Promissory Note dated March 5, 2010 executed by the Company in favor of the Buyer (the “Prepayment Amount”), and (b) the remainder for working capital and general corporate purposes. The Company agrees that the Prepayment Amount shall be withheld by the Buyer at the Initial Closing and that the Initial Net Purchase Price payable at the Initial Closing shall be reduced accordingly.

(v) Publicity, Filings, Releases, Etc. Each of the parties agrees that it will not disseminate any information relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, including issuing any press releases, holding any press conferences or other forums, or filing any reports (collectively, “Publicity”), without giving the other party reasonable advance notice and an opportunity to comment on the contents thereof. Neither party will include in any such Publicity any statement or statements or other material to which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally required to be included. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company will provide to the Buyer’s Counsel drafts of the applicable text of the first filing of a current report on Form 8-K or a Quarterly or Annual Report on Form 10-Q or 10-K (or equivalent SB forms), as the case may be, intended to be made with the SEC which refers to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby as soon as practicable (but at least two (2) Trading Days before such filing will be made) and will not include in such filing (or any other filing filed before then) any statement or statements or other material to which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally required to be included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereby consents to the inclusion of the text of the Transaction Documents in filings made with the SEC (but any descriptive text accompanying or part of such filing shall be subject to the other provisions of this subsection). Notwithstanding, but subject to, the foregoing provisions of this provision, the Company will, within four business days after the Initial Closing Date, promptly issue a press release and file a current report on Form 8-K or, if appropriate, a quarterly or annual report on the appropriate form, describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and approved by Buyer and attaching the material Transaction Documents as exhibits to such filing.

(vi) FINRA Rule 5110. In the event the Corporate Financing Rule 5110 (“FINRA Rule 5110”) of FINRA is or becomes applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or to the sale by a Holder of any of the Securities, then the Company shall, to the extent required by such rule, timely make any filings and cooperate with any broker or selling stockholder in respect of any consents, authorizations or approvals that may be necessary for FINRA to timely and expeditiously permit the Holder to sell the Securities.

(vi) Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall keep and cause each Subsidiary, if any, to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and such Subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.

(vii) Corporate Existence. The Company shall (a) do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, including, without limitation, all licenses or similar qualifications required by it to engage in its business in all jurisdictions in which it is as of the date hereof so engaged, (b) continue to engage in business of the same general type as conducted as of the date hereof, and (c) continue to conduct its business substantially as now conducted or as otherwise permitted hereunder.

(viii) Taxes. The Company shall pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property before the same shall become delinquent or in default, which, if unpaid, might reasonably be expected to give rise to liens or charges upon such properties or any part thereof, unless, in each case, the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Company has maintained adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.

(ix) Compliance. The Company shall comply in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws and regulations, orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, rules, regulations, permits, licenses, authorizations and requirements applicable to it (collectively, “Requirements”) of all governmental bodies, departments, commissions, boards, companies or associations insuring the premises, courts, authorities, officials or officers which are applicable to the Company, its business, operations, or any of its properties, except where the failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or any of its properties; provided, however, that nothing provided herein shall prevent the Company from contesting in good faith the validity or the application of any Requirements.

(x) Litigation. From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and all of the Notes are paid and performed in full, the Company shall notify the Buyer in writing, promptly upon learning thereof, of any litigation or administrative proceeding commenced or threatened against the Company involving a claim in excess of $100,000.

(xi) Performance of Obligations. The Company shall promptly and in a timely fashion perform and honor all demands, notices, requests and obligations that exist or may arise under the Transaction Documents.

(xii) Authorized Shares. The Company shall take all action reasonably necessary to at all times have authorized, and reserved for the purpose of issuance, such number of shares of Common Stock as shall be necessary to effect the full conversion of all of the Notes and exercise of all of the Warrants (the “Share Reserve”). If at any time the Share Reserve is insufficient to effect the full conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants, the Company shall immediately increase the Share Reserve accordingly. If the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of the shareholders within thirty days of such occurrence, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized. The Company’s management shall recommend to the Company’s shareholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. Management shall also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock.

(xiii) Investor Information. Upon written request, the Company shall promptly furnish the Buyer with the names and other identifying information of each party with which the Company has completed a financing transaction including, without limitation, any person or entity to whom the Company has issued or sold any debt, equity, option, warrant or other security of any kind during the five year period immediately preceding the request.

(xiv) Certain Negative Covenants of the Company. From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and all of the Notes are paid and performed in full, the Company shall not:

1. Incur any new indebtedness for borrowed money without the prior written consent of the Buyer; provided, however, the Company may incur obligations under trade payables in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice without the consent of the Buyer; or

2. Grant or permit any security interest (or other lien or other encumbrance) in or on any of its assets except as incurred in the ordinary course of business; or

3. Enter into any transaction, including, without limitation, any purchase, sale, lease or exchange of property or the rendering of any service, with any Affiliate of the Company, or amend or modify any agreement related to any of the foregoing, except on terms that are no less favorable, in any material respect, than those obtainable from any person or entity who is not an Affiliate of the Company; or

4. Enter into any financing transaction without giving the Buyer at least ten (10) days notice of such prospective financing transaction (the “Transaction Notice”) and the pre-emptive right to provide such financing on substantially the same terms upon notice thereof to the Company within five (5) days of receiving the Transaction Notice.

7. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

a. The Company warrants that, with respect to the Securities, other than the stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 6(a)(i) hereof, it will give the Transfer Agent no instructions inconsistent with instructions to issue Common Stock from time to time upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants, as may be applicable from time to time, in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company to the Transfer Agent, bearing the restrictive legend specified in Section 6(a)(ii) of this Agreement prior to registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee and in such denominations to be specified by the Holder in connection therewith. Except as so provided, the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 6(a)(i) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act or upon request from a Holder while an applicable Registration Statement is effective, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 6(a)(i) of this Agreement) permit the transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, as may be applicable, use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to promptly electronically transmit to the Holder via the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program such Conversion Shares. The Company specifically represents that, as of the date hereof and as of the Initial Closing Date and the date of each Subsequent Closing, (i) the Company’s Transfer Agent is (a) participating in the DTC program, (b) is DWAC eligible, and (ii) the Company is not aware of any plans of the Transfer Agent to terminate such DTC participation or DWAC eligibility. While any Holder holds Securities, the Company shall at all times maintain a transfer agent which participates in the DTC program and is DWAC eligible, and the Company will not appoint any transfer agent which does not both participate in the DTC program and maintain DWAC eligibility. Nevertheless, in the event the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DTC/DWAC program or the Conversion Shares are not otherwise transferable via the DTC/DWAC program, then the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. In the event the Company’s transfer agent is not DWAC eligible on any Conversion Date, and consequently the Company issues Conversion Shares pursuant to the Notice of Conversion in certificated rather than electronic form, then in such event if the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Principal Trading Market is lower on the date of delivery of the certificates to the Buyer than on the Conversion Date, such difference in the closing bid prices, multiplied by the number of Conversion Shares, shall be added to the principal balance of the applicable Note.

(i) The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of Shares, whether on conversion of a Note and/or in payment of accrued interest, or exercise of a Warrant, beyond the relevant Delivery Date (as defined in the applicable Note or Warrant, as applicable) could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to any other available remedies at law or equity, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late delivery of the Shares in accordance with the following schedule (where “No. Business Days Late” is defined as the number of Trading Days beyond two (2) Trading Days after the Delivery Date):

		Late Payment for Each $10,000 of
		Principal or Interest Being Converted or
No. Business Days Late		Amount of Warrant Exercise (Cash or Cashless)

	1		$100
	2		$200
	3		$300
	4		$400
	5		$500
	6		$600
	7		$700
	8		$800
	9		$900
	10		$1,000
	>10		$1,000 + $200 for each Business Day Late beyond 10 days

The amount of any payments incurred under this Section 7(b) shall be automatically added to the principal balance of the applicable Note and the Company shall pay any such payments in immediately available funds upon demand. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver the Shares to the Holder within a reasonable time. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to a Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such Shares within two (2) Trading Days after the Delivery Date, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise (under the applicable Warrant) by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company prior to the Holder’s receipt of the relevant Shares, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Conversion or Notice of Exercise, as the case may be; provided, however, that any payments contemplated by this Section 7(b) which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Holder notwithstanding such revocation.

(ii) If, by the tenth Trading Day after the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails for any reason to deliver the Shares, but at any time after the Delivery Date, the Holder purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the shares to be issued upon such conversion or exercise (a “Buy-In”), the Holder shall have the right to require the Company to pay to the Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Documents, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the immediately preceding Section 7(b)(i)), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined hereafter). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the number of Sold Shares multiplied by the excess, if any, of (1) the Holder’s total purchase price per share (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (2) the net proceeds per share (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Holder in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Holder will be $1,000.

c. The Company shall assume any fees or charges of the Transfer Agent or Company Counsel regarding (i) the removal of a legend or stop transfer instructions with respect to the Securities, and (ii) the issuance of certificates or DTC registration to or in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee or to a transferee as contemplated by an effective Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the Holder’s responsibility to obtain all needed formal requirements (specifically: medallion guarantee and prospectus delivery compliance) in connection with any electronic issuance of shares of Common Stock.

d. The Holder of a Note shall be entitled to exercise its conversion privilege with respect to such Note, as the case may be, notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of such Holder’s exercise privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the conversion of such Note. The Company agrees, without cost or expense to such Holder, to take or to consent to any and all action necessary to effectuate relief under 11 U.S.C. §362.

8. CLOSING DATES.

a. The Initial Closing Date shall occur on the date which is the first Trading Day after each of the conditions contemplated by Sections 9 and 10 hereof shall have either been satisfied or been waived by the party in whose favor such conditions run, but in any event shall not be later than March 30, 2010. Closing of the purchase and sale of the First Note and First Warrant, which the parties anticipate shall occur concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, shall occur at the offices of the Buyer and shall take place no later than 3:00 P.M., Eastern Time, or on such day or such other time as is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer.

The Buyer Parties with the right to be indemnified under this Section (the “Indemnified Parties”) shall have the right to defend any such action or proceeding with attorneys of their own selection, and the Company shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses related thereto. If the Indemnified Parties opt not to retain their own counsel, the Company shall defend any such action or proceeding with attorneys of its choosing at its sole cost and expense, provided that such attorneys have been pre-approved by the Indemnified Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided further that the Company may not settle any such action or proceeding without first obtaining the written consent of the Indemnified Parties.

b. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Buyer Parties against the Company or others, and (ii) any liabilities the Company may be subject to.

14. SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Company and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties (including any Holder) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without (except as specified below) the necessity to post a bond, to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity; provided, however that the Company, upon receipt of a Notice of Conversion or a Notice of Exercise, may not fail or refuse to deliver the stock certificates and the related legal opinions, if any, or if there is a claim for a breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Company shall not raise as a legal defense any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has violated any provision hereof or any other Transaction Document or has engaged in any violation of law or any other claim or defense, unless the Company has first posted a bond for one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount and, if relevant, then obtained a court order specifically directing it not to deliver said stock certificates to the Holder. The proceeds of such bond shall be payable to the Holder to the extent that the Holder obtains judgment or its defense is recognized. Such bond shall remain in effect until the completion of the relevant proceeding and, if the Holder appeals therefrom, until all such appeals are exhausted. This provision is deemed incorporated by reference into each of the Transaction Documents as if set forth therein in full.

15. OWNERSHIP LIMITATION. If at any time after the Initial Closing the Buyer shall or would receive shares of the Common Stock in payment of interest or principal under a Note or upon conversion of such Note or exercise of a Warrant so that the Buyer would hold by virtue of such action or receipt of shares of Common Stock a number of shares exceeding 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “9.99% Cap”), the Company shall not be obligated and shall not issue to the Buyer shares of its Common Stock which would exceed the 9.99% Cap, but only until such time as the 9.99% Cap would no longer be exceeded by any such receipt of shares of Common Stock by the Buyer.

16. GOVERNING LAW; MISCELLANEOUS. The Company and the Buyer hereby agree that the provisions of this Section 17 shall apply to all of the Transaction Documents.

a. Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois for contracts to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the County of Xxxx or the state courts of the State of Illinois sitting in the County of Xxxx in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions or any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing in this subsection shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

b. No Waiver. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

d. Pronouns. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may permit or require.

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

g. Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

h. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged with enforcement thereof.

i. Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the other Transaction Documents constitute and contain the entire agreement between the Company and the Buyer and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

j. Currency. All dollar amounts referred to or contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to refer to US Dollars, unless otherwise explicitly stated to the contrary.

k. Expenses. The Company, without regard to whether any Closing is effectuated, will pay Buyer the Transaction Expenses, which the parties acknowledge shall be withheld by the Buyer at the Initial Closing pursuant to Section 2(c) above; provided, however, that in the event a Closing does not occur for whatever reason, the Company shall promptly pay the Transaction Expenses to the Buyer in cash. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company and the Buyer shall be responsible for paying such party’s own fees and expenses (including legal expenses) incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

l. Assignment by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may not be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Buyer; provided, however, that in the case of a merger, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or other corporate reorganization, the Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent.

m. Advice of Counsel. In connection with the preparation of this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents, each of the Company, its shareholders, officers, agents, and representatives acknowledges and agrees that the attorney that prepared this Agreement and all of the other Transaction Documents acted as legal counsel to the Buyer only. Each of the Company, its shareholders, officers, agents, and representatives (i) hereby acknowledges that he/she/it has been, and hereby is, advised to seek legal counsel and to review this Agreement and all of the other Transaction Documents with legal counsel of his/her/its choice, and (ii) either has sought such legal counsel or hereby waives the right to do so.

n. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement is the language chosen mutually by the parties hereto and no doctrine of construction shall be applied for or against any party.

o. Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Prevailing Party (as defined hereafter) shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and collection costs in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. “Prevailing Party” shall mean the party in any litigation or enforcement action that prevails in the highest number of final rulings, counts or judgments adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.

p. Replacement of the Notes. Subject to any restrictions on or conditions to transfer set forth in the Notes, the Holder of a Note, at its option, may in person or by duly authorized attorney surrender the same for exchange at the Company’s chief executive office, and promptly thereafter and at the Company’s expense, except as provided below, receive in exchange therefor one or more new convertible secured promissory note(s), each in the principal requested by such Holder, dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on the Note so surrendered or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid, dated the date of the Note so surrendered and registered in the name of such person or persons as shall have been designated in writing by such holder or its attorney for the same principal amount as the then unpaid principal amount of the Note so surrendered. As applicable, upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of a Note and (a) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; or (b) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender thereof, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new convertible secured promissory note executed in the same manner as the Note being replaced, in the same principal amount as the unpaid principal amount of such Note and dated the date to which interest shall have been paid on such Note or, if no interest shall have yet been so paid, dated the date of such Note.
