3.6. No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, Bylaws or other organizational documents and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to take any action that would give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.

The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

3.7. SEC Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being hereinafter referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”).

Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved and fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates thereof and the consolidated results of their operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s most recently filed SEC Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business subsequent to March 31, 2013 (“Last Audit Date”), and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial statements, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company. The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.

3.8. Absence of Certain Changes.

None of the Company’s tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.

(a) There are, to the Company’s knowledge, with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or any predecessor of the Company, no past or present violations of Environmental Laws (as defined below), releases of any material into the environment, actions, activities, circumstances, conditions, events, incidents, or contractual obligations which may give rise to any common law environmental liability or any liability under the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 or similar federal, state, local or foreign laws and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received any notice with respect to any of the foregoing, nor is any action pending or, to the Company’s knowledge, threatened in connection with any of the foregoing. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water, groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation, laws relating to emissions, discharges, releases or threatened releases of chemicals, pollutants contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment, or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

(b) Other than those that are or were stored, used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are contained on or about any real property currently owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials were released on or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the period the property was owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the Company’s or any of its Subsidiaries’ business.

The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

3.21. Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Upon written request, the Company will provide to the Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating to directors’ and officers’ liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage, and commercial general liability coverage.

3.22. Internal Accounting Controls. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of internal accounting controls 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.

3.23. Foreign Corrupt Practices.

3.24. Solvency. As disclosed on the Company’s SEC filings, the Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) has more assets than liabilities and is solvent (i.e., its assets have a fair market value greater than the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute and matured). Currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not, after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature.

3.25. 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.

3.26. 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, such breach will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.1(d) of the Note.

3.27. No Section 3(a)(9) Transaction or Section 3(a)(10) Transaction. The Company has not entered into any transaction or arrangement structured in accordance with, based upon, or related or pursuant to, in whole or in part, either Section 3(a)(9) of the 1933 Act or Section 3(a)(10) of the 1933 Act during the three month period immediately preceding the date of this Agreement.

3.28. No Shell Company. The Company is not, nor has it ever been, the type of “issuer” defined in Rule 144(i)(1) under the 1933 Act (a “Shell Company”). The Company acknowledges and agrees that (i) it is essential to the Buyer that the Buyer be able to sell Common Stock it receives under the Note in reliance on Rule 144, (ii) if the Company were or ever had been a Shell Company, any Common Stock received by the Buyer under the Note could not be sold in reliance on Rule 144 (at least without satisfying additional conditions), and (iii) Buyer is relying on the truth and accuracy of the Company’s representation in the foregoing sentence and the availability of Rule 144 with respect to Buyer’s selling of Common Stock in entering into this Agreement and purchasing the Note.

The Company’s obligation with respect to this Section 4.5 is to pay the Buyer the Transaction Expense Amount in the manner set forth in Section 1.4.

4.6. Financial Information. Upon written request, the Company agrees to send or make available the following reports to the Buyer until the Buyer transfers, assigns, or sells all of the Securities: (i) within ten (10) calendar days after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K, its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K; (ii) within one (1) Trading Day (as defined in the Note) after release, copies of all press releases issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) contemporaneously with the making available or giving to the stockholders of the Company, copies of any notices or other information the Company makes available or gives to such stockholders.

The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the Principal Market 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.

4.8. Corporate Existence. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns the 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 or quotation on the Principal Market.

4.9. 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.

4.10. 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, such breach will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.1(c) of the Note.

4.11. Failure to Comply with the 1934 Act. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns the Note, the Company shall comply with the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act so as to enable the Buyer to sell Common Stock in reliance on Rule 144 (as defined below); and the Company shall continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.

4.12. Transfer Agent Reserve. From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder and the Note are paid and performed in full:

(a) the Company shall at all times require its transfer agent (its “Transfer Agent”) to establish a reserve of shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock in an amount not less than the Reserved Amount (as defined in the Note) (the “Transfer Agent Reserve”);

(b) the Company shall require its Transfer Agent to hold the Transfer Agent Reserve for the exclusive benefit of the Buyer and shall authorize the Transfer Agent to issue the shares of Common Stock held in the Transfer Agent Reserve to the Buyer only (subject to subsection 4.12(c) immediately below);

(c) the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to agree that when the Transfer Agent issues shares of Common Stock to the Buyer pursuant to the Transaction Documents, the Transfer Agent will not issue such shares from the Transfer Agent Reserve, unless such is pre-approved in writing by the Buyer;

(d) the Company shall cause the Transfer Agent to agree that it will not reduce the Transfer Agent Reserve under any circumstances, unless such reduction is pre-approved in writing by the Buyer;

(e) no less frequently than quarterly, the Company shall recalculate the Transfer Agent Reserve as of such time (each a “Transfer Agent Reserve Calculation”), and if additional shares of Common Stock are required to be added to the Transfer Agent Reserve pursuant to subsection 4.12(a) above, the Company shall immediately give instructions to the Transfer Agent to cause the Transfer Agent to set aside and increase the Transfer Agent Reserve by the necessary number of shares in increments of 1,000,000 shares of Common Stock; and

(f) within three (3) Trading Days of a written request from the Buyer, the Company shall certify in writing to the Buyer (1) the correctness of the Company’s Transfer Agent Reserve Calculation and (2) that either (A) the Company has instructed the Transfer Agent to increase the Transfer Agent Reserve in accordance with the terms hereof, or (B) there was no need to increase the Transfer Agent Reserve, in either case consistent with the Transfer Agent Reserve Calculation. If the Company has not instructed the Transfer Agent to so increase the Transfer Agent Reserve, then Holder is hereby authorized to send such written request to the Transfer Agent.

For the avoidance of any doubt, the requirements of this Section 4.12 are material to this Agreement and any violation or breach thereof by the Company shall constitute a default under this Agreement.

4.13. For so long as any portion of the Note remains outstanding, the Common Stock shall be and remain eligible to be deposited in certificate form at the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), cleared and converted into electronic shares by the DTC and held in the name of the clearing firm servicing the Buyer’s brokerage firm for the benefit of the Buyer (“DTC Eligible”). At any time a portion of the Note remains outstanding and the Common Stock is not DTC Eligible, such event shall be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.1(d) of the Note.

4.14. Transfer or Re-sale. The Buyer understands that (i) the sale or re-sale of the Securities has not been and is not being registered under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless (1) the Securities are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (2) the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions to the effect that the Securities to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company, (3) the Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate” (an “Affiliate”) (as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”)) of the Buyer who agrees to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section 4.14 and who is an Accredited Investor, (4) the Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (5) the Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) (“Regulation S”), and the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, an opinion of counsel that shall be in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in corporate transactions, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company; (ii) any sale of such Securities 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 re-sale of such Securities 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 0000 Xxx) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the 1933 Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case). Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

4.15. Legends. The Buyer understands that the Conversion Shares have not been registered under the 1933 Act, and until the Conversion Shares are registered or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, certificates representing the Conversion Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities):

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD OR OFFERED FOR SALE IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL IN FORM, SUBSTANCE AND SCOPE CUSTOMARY FOR OPINIONS OF COUNSEL IN COMPARABLE TRANSACTIONS OR OTHER EVIDENCE ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED, OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.

The legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (i) such Security is registered for sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, or (ii) such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Delivery Date (as defined in the Note), such will be considered an Event of Default under the Note (including without limitation under Section 3.1(b) of the Note).

5. Transfer Agent Instructions.

5.1. Instructions. The Company shall issue and agree to irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, in form and substance satisfactory to the Buyer, to issue Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer to the Company upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the applicable terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). In the event that the Company proposes to replace its transfer agent, the Company shall provide, prior to the effective date of such replacement, irrevocable transfer agent instructions in a form that is substantially similar to the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (including but not limited to the requirement to irrevocably reserve shares of Common Stock in the Reserved Amount) signed by the Company and successor transfer agent to the Company. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 5, will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Conversion Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement, the Note and/or the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer, or delay, impair, and/or hinder its transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) any Conversion Shares to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note, this Agreement and/or the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions; and (iii) it will not fail to remove (or direct its transfer agent not to remove or impair, delay, and/or hinder its transfer agent from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer as and when required by the Note, this Agreement and/or the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions, as applicable. 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.

5.2. DTC Eligible. The Company specifically covenants that, as of the Closing Date, the Common Stock shall be DTC Eligible. If at any time that the Company receives a Conversion Notice and the Common Stock is not then DTC Eligible, then the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to immediately issue one or more certificates for non-DTC Eligible Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Holder consistent with the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents.

5.3. Transfer Fees. 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 DWAC registration to or in the name of the Buyer or the Buyer’s designee or to a transferee as contemplated by an effective registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the Buyer’s responsibility to obtain all needed formal requirements (e.g., medallion guarantee) in connection with any electronic issuance of shares of Common Stock.

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:

6.2. The Buyer shall have delivered the Purchase Price in accordance with Section 1.2 above.

6.3. The representations and warranties of the Buyer shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though made at that time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date), and the Buyer shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Buyer at or prior to the Closing Date.

6.4. 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.

7. Conditions to the Buyer’s Obligation to Purchase. The obligation of the Buyer hereunder to purchase the Note at the Closing is subject to the satisfaction, at or before the Closing Date, of each of the following conditions, provided that these conditions are for the Buyer’s sole benefit and may be waived by the Buyer at any time in its sole discretion:

7.1. The Company shall have executed this Agreement and delivered the same to the Buyer.

7.2. The Company shall have delivered to the Buyer the duly executed Note (in such denominations as the Buyer shall request) in accordance with Section 1.2 above.

7.6. The representations and warranties of the Company shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the date when made and as of the Closing Date as though made at such time (except for representations and warranties that speak as of a specific date) and the Company shall have performed, satisfied and complied in all material respects with the covenants, agreements and conditions required by this Agreement to be performed, satisfied or complied with by the Company at or prior to the Closing Date. The Buyer shall have received a secretary’s certificate (or officer’s certificate), dated as of the Closing Date, to the foregoing effect and as to such other matters as required hereby or as may be reasonably requested by the Buyer, together with resolutions adopted by the board of directors and a share issuance resolution in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Buyer relating to and authorizing the Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereby.

7.7. No event shall have occurred which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company including but not limited to a change in the 1934 Act reporting status of the Company or the failure of the Company to be timely in its 1934 Act reporting obligations.

7.8. The Conversion Shares shall have been authorized for quotation on the Principal Market and trading in the Common Stock on the Principal Market shall not have been suspended by the SEC or the Principal Market.

8. Governing Law; Miscellaneous.

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

8.4. Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law.

8.7. Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights, interests or obligations of the Company 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. This Agreement or any of the severable rights and obligations inuring to the benefit of or to be performed by Buyer hereunder may be assigned by Buyer to a third party, including its financing sources, in whole or in part, without the need to obtain the Company’s consent thereto.

8.8. 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.

8.9. Survival. The representations and warranties of the Company and the agreements and covenants set forth in this Agreement shall survive the Closing hereunder notwithstanding any due diligence investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Buyer. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and all its officers, directors, employees, attorneys, and agents for loss or damage arising as a result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set forth in this Agreement or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they are incurred.

8.10. Publicity. The Company and the Buyer shall have the right to review a reasonable period of time before issuance of any press releases, SEC, Principal Market or FINRA filings, or any other public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, however, that the Company shall be entitled, without the prior approval of the Buyer, to make any press release or SEC, Principal Market or FINRA filings with respect to such transactions as is required by applicable law and regulations (although the Buyer shall be consulted by the Company in connection with any such press release prior to its release and shall be provided with a copy thereof and be given an opportunity to comment thereon).

8.11. 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.

8.12. 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.

8.13. Remedies. 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 transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing or curing any breach of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

8.14. Buyer’s Rights and Remedies Cumulative. All rights, remedies, and powers conferred in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents on the Buyer are cumulative and not exclusive of any other rights or remedies, and shall be in addition to every other right, power, and remedy that the Buyer may have, whether specifically granted in this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, or existing at law, in equity, or by statute; and any and all such rights and remedies may be exercised from time to time and as often and in such order as the Buyer may deem expedient.

8.15. Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, if at any time the Buyer shall or would be issued shares of Common Stock under any of the Transaction Documents, but such issuance would cause the Buyer (together with its Affiliates) to beneficially own a number of shares exceeding the Maximum Percentage (as defined in the Note), then the Company must not issue to the Buyer the excess Ownership Limitation Shares (as defined in the Note). For purposes of this Section, beneficial ownership of Common Stock will be determined under the 1934 Act. The Company will reserve the Ownership Limitation Shares for the exclusive benefit of the Buyer. From time to time, the Buyer may notify the Company in writing of the number of Ownership Limitation Shares that may be issued to the Buyer without causing the Buyer to exceed the Maximum Percentage. Upon receipt of such notice, the Company shall be unconditionally obligated to immediately issue such designated shares to the Buyer, with a corresponding reduction in the number of the Ownership Limitation Shares. By written notice to the Company, the Buyer may increase, decrease or waive the Maximum Percentage as to itself but any such waiver will not be effective until the 61^st day after delivery thereof. The foregoing 61-day notice requirement is enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable and shall apply to all Affiliates and assigns of the Buyer. Additionally, if at any time after the Closing the Market Capitalization of the Common Stock (as defined in the Note) falls below $3,000,000, then from that point on, for so long as the Buyer or the Buyer’s Affiliate owns Common Stock or rights to acquire Common Stock, the Company shall post (or cause to be posted), no less frequently than every thirty (30) calendar days, the then-current number of issued and outstanding shares of its capital stock to the Company’s web page located at XXXxxxxxxx.xxx (or such other web page approved by the Buyer). Additionally, within three (3) Trading Days of a written request from Buyer, the Company (or the Company’s Transfer Agent) will provide the Buyer the then-current number of authorized, but unissued and unreserved shares of its capital stock. The Company understands that its failure to so post its shares outstanding or to provide the number of unissued and unreserved shares could result in economic loss to the Buyer. As compensation to the Buyer for such loss, in addition to any other available remedies in the Transaction Documents or at law or in equity, the Company shall pay the Buyer a late fee of $500.00 per calendar day for each calendar day that the Company fails to comply with the foregoing obligation to post its shares outstanding or to provide the number of unreserved and unissued shares as required herein. As elected by the Buyer, the amount of any late fees incurred under this Section shall either be automatically added to the principal balance of the Note (without the need to provide any notice to the Company) or otherwise paid by the Company in immediately available funds upon demand.

8.16. Attorneys’ Fees and Cost of Collection. 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 parties agree that the party who is awarded the most money shall be deemed the prevailing party for all purposes and shall therefore be entitled to an additional award of the full amount of the attorneys’ fees and expenses paid by such prevailing party in connection with the litigation and/or dispute without reduction or apportionment based upon the individual claims or defenses giving rise to the fees and expenses. Nothing herein shall restrict or impair a court’s power to award fees and expenses for frivolous or bad faith pleading.

8.17. Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY AND ALL RIGHTS SUCH PARTY MAY HAVE TO DEMAND THAT ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE RELATIONSHIPS OF THE PARTIES HERETO BE TRIED BY JURY. THIS WAIVER EXTENDS TO ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO DEMAND A TRIAL BY JURY ARISING UNDER COMMON LAW OR ANY APPLICABLE STATUTE, LAW, RULE OR REGULATION. FURTHER, EACH PARTY HERETO ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SUCH PARTY IS KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVING SUCH PARTY’S RIGHT TO DEMAND TRIAL BY JURY.

8.18. Time of the Essence. Time is expressly made of the essence of each and every provision of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.
