The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls that are not sufficient, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

v. Foreign Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.
w. Solvency. The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is not solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair market value that are not in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, which includes the cancellation of the related party debt, have the ability to pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company received a qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and, after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, expects its auditors will issue a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal year.
x. No Investment Company. The Company is not, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement will not be, an “investment company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (an “Investment Company”). The Company is not controlled by an Investment Company.
y. Breach of Representations and Warranties by the Company. If the Company breaches any of the representations or warranties set forth in this Section 3, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an Event of Default under Article III of the Note.
4. Covenants.
a. Best Efforts. The parties shall use their best efforts to satisfy timely each of the conditions described in Section 6 and 7 of this Agreement.
b. Blue Sky Laws. The Company shall, on or before the Closing Date, take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to qualify the Securities for sale to the Buyer at the applicable closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken to the Buyer on or prior to the Closing Date.
12
|
c. Use of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds as specifically described in Section 1(b) of this Agreement.
d. Right of First Refusal. Unless it shall have first delivered to the Buyer, at least seventy two (72) hours prior to the closing of such Future Offering (as defined herein), written notice describing the proposed Future Offering, including the terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered into in connection therewith, and providing the Buyer an option during the seventy two (72) hour period following delivery of such notice to purchase the securities being offered in the Future Offering on the same terms as contemplated by such Future Offering (the limitations referred to in this sentence and the preceding sentence are collectively referred to as the “Right of First Refusal”) (and subject to the exceptions described below), the Company will not conduct any equity financing (including debt with an equity component) (“Future Offerings”) during the period beginning on the Closing Date and ending twelve (12) months following the Closing Date. In the event the terms and conditions of a proposed Future Offering are amended in any respect after delivery of the notice to the Buyer concerning the proposed Future Offering, the Company shall deliver a new notice to the Buyer describing the amended terms and conditions of the proposed Future Offering and the Buyer thereafter shall have an option during the seventy two (72) hour period following delivery of such new notice to purchase its pro rata share of the securities being offered on the same terms as contemplated by such proposed Future Offering, as amended. The foregoing sentence shall apply to successive amendments to the terms and conditions of any proposed Future Offering. The Right of First Refusal shall not apply to any transaction involving (i) issuances of securities in a firm commitment underwritten public offering (excluding a continuous offering pursuant to Rule 415 under the 0000 Xxx) or (ii) issuances of securities as consideration for a merger, consolidation or purchase of assets, or in connection with any strategic partnership or joint venture (the primary purpose of which is not to raise equity capital), or in connection with the disposition or acquisition of a business, product or license by the Company. The Right of First Refusal also shall not apply to the issuance of securities upon exercise or conversion of the Company’s options, warrants or other convertible securities outstanding as of the date hereof or to the grant of additional options or warrants, or the issuance of additional securities, under any Company stock option or restricted stock plan approved by the shareholders of the Company.
e. Expenses. At the Closing, the Company shall reimburse Buyer for expenses incurred by them in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other agreements to be executed in connection herewith (“Documents”), including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, fees for stock quotation services, fees relating to any amendments or modifications of the Documents or any consents or waivers of provisions in the Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of counsel, escrow fees, and costs of restructuring the transactions contemplated by the Documents. When possible, the Company must pay these fees directly, otherwise the Company must make immediate payment for reimbursement to the Buyer for all fees and expenses immediately upon written notice by the Buyer or the submission of an invoice by the Buyer. The Company’s obligation with respect to this transaction is to reimburse Buyer’s expenses of $3,500.
13
|
f. Listing. The Company will obtain and, so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the OTC Pink or any equivalent replacement exchange, the Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (“Nasdaq SmallCap”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), or the NYSE MKT LLC (“AMEX”) and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and such exchanges, as applicable. The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the OTC Pink and any other exchanges or quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.
g. Corporate Existence. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any Note, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company’s obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the OTC Pink (or equivalent replacement quotation system), Nasdaq, Nasdaq SmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.
h. No Integration. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.
i. Breach of Covenants. If the Company breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an Event of Default under Article III of the Note.
j. Trading Activities. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position in the common stock of the Company and the Buyer agree that it shall not, and that it will cause its affiliates not to, engage in any short sales of or hedging transactions with respect to the common stock of the Company.
k. Within five (5) business days after the execution and delivery of this Agreement by the parties, the Company shall file an Information Statement on Schedule 14C with the SEC with respect to the shareholders’ consent approving the increase in the authorized Common Stock as set forth in Section 7(i), which amendment shall only be filed upon the occurrence of an event of default under the Note. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Information Statement to be cleared by the SEC.
14
|
5. Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Securities in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Default Preferred Stock in accordance with the terms thereof and the exercise of the Warrants (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Borrower shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, a fully executed Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions in a form as initially delivered pursuant to this Agreement (including but not limited to the provision to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock) signed by the successor transfer agent to the Company. Prior to registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(f) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 2(f) hereof (in the case of the Securities, prior to registration of the Securities under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold), will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Securities to be issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Default Preferred Stock and the Warrants when required thereby; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Securities issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Default Preferred Stock and the Warrants when required thereby. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, with an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Securities, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer, by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 5 may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
6. Conditions to the Company’s Obligation to Sell. The obligation of the Company hereunder to issue and sell the Note to the Buyer at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date of each of the following conditions thereto, provided that these conditions are for the Company’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Company at any time in its sole discretion:

d. No litigation, statute, rule, regulation, executive order, decree, ruling or injunction shall have been enacted, entered, promulgated or endorsed by or in any court or governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or any self-regulatory organization having authority over the matters contemplated hereby which prohibits the consummation of any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

j. Certificates representing the Escrow Shares shall have been delivered to the Escrow Agent along with stock powers executed in blank with medallion signature guarantee.
k. The Company shall have cancelled the Related Party debt set forth on Schedule 7(j).

The Buyer shall have received a certificate or certificates, executed by the chief executive officer of the Company, dated as of the Closing Date, to the foregoing effect and as to such other matters as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer including, but not limited to certificates with respect to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, By-laws and Board of Directors’ resolutions relating to the transactions contemplated hereby.

b. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Note, the Buyer may deliver notice thereof to the Escrow Agent upon which the total number of Escrow Shares shall be forfeited by Berthold to the Buyer and the Escrow Agent shall deliver to the Company’s transfer agent the Escrow Shares along with the Stock Powers endorsed for transfer to the Buyer.

PIGGYBACK REGISTRATION RIGHTS
Capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of March 12, 2015, by and between InoLife Technologies Inc. and Xxxxx Family Group Fund LP and Xxxx Bethold (as to Sections 7, 8 and 9 only).
(a) If the Company at any time after the Closing Date, proposes to file on behalf of any of its security holders a registration statement (or post-effective amendment to a prior registration statement) under the 1933 Act on any form (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form for securities to be offered in a transaction of the type referred to in Rule 145 under the 1933 Act or to employees of the Company pursuant to any employee benefit plan, respectively) for the registration of securities for resale by certain selling stockholders, it will give written notice to the Buyer at least 20 days before the initial filing with the Securities and Exchange Commission of such registration statement (or post-effective amendment). The notice will offer to include in such filing (or, if applicable, pursuant to Rule 429(b) under the 1933 Act, a new registration statement with a combined prospectus that serves as a post-effective amendment to a prior registration statement) the aggregate number of Compensation Shares (“Registrable Securities”) as the Buyer may request.
If the Buyer shall advise the Company in writing, within 10 days after the date of receipt of such notice, setting forth the amount of such Registrable Securities for which registration is requested. The Company shall include in such filing the number of shares of Registrable Securities for which registration is so requested and shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect registration under the Securities Act of such shares.
(b) The Company shall notify the Buyer at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon the happening of any event as a result of which, the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. At the request of the Buyer, the Company shall also prepare, file and furnish to the Buyer a reasonable number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing. The Subscriber agrees not to offer or sell any Registrable Securities after receipt of such notification until the receipt of such supplement or amendment.
(c) The Company may request the Buyer to furnish the Company such information with respect to the Buyer and the Buyer’s proposed distribution of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing or as shall be required by law or by the SEC in connection therewith, and the Buyer agrees to furnish the Company with such information.

(d) Each of the Company and the Buyer shall indemnify the other party hereto and their respective officers, directors, employees and agents against any and all Loss arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) by the indemnifying party of a material fact contained in any prospectus or other document (including any related registration statement, notification or the like) incident to any registration of the type described in this Section 5, or any omission (or alleged omission) by the indemnifying party to state in any such document a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and shall reimburse such indemnified party for any legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that no party will be eligible for indemnification hereunder to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or expense arises out of or is based on any untrue statement or omission based upon written information furnished by such party for use in connection with such registration; and provided, further, that a Buyer shall not be liable for any Loss that in the aggregate exceeds the amount such Buyer would receive if Buyer were to sell the Securities on the date the amount of the Loss was determined (based on the closing price of a share of Common Stock on its principal market on such date).
(e) The Company shall pay all expenses it incurs in complying with this Section 5, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, expenses of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration and expenses of complying with the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction, except that the Company will not be liable for any fees and expenses incurred by the Buyer, including, but not limited to, fees and expenses of counsel for the selling security holders or brokerage fees or underwriting discounts or commissions, if any.
