WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the 2012 Corporate Development Agreement, CRG agreed to serve as development agent to the Company, and to assist (a) in the offer and sale of the Company’s common stock or any class of preferred stock; (b) to assist the Company to obtain credit or indebtedness financing; and/or (c) to assist the Company to identify suitable mergers and acquisition companies and assets;
WHEREAS, the Company and CRG have previously entered into a Corporate Consulting Agreement dated as of March 22, 2012 (the “Corporate Consulting Agreement” and together with the 2011 Corporate Development Agreement and the 2012 Corporate Development, collectively, the “Agreements”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Corporate Consulting Agreement, CRG agreed to provide advisory and consulting services to the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Company and CRG have determined that it is in their mutual best interest to terminate each of the Agreements as of the date hereof.
NOW, THEREFOR, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained in this Termination Agreement and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged as adequate in all respects, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Representations. CRG represents and warrants to the Company that prior to the date hereof, CRG has not transferred, or attempted to transfer, any of its rights or duties under the Agreements. CRG hereby acknowledges that CRG has had an adequate opportunity to review this Termination Agreement. CRG has had the opportunity to, and to the extent desired to do so, has consulted with counsel of CRG’s own selection concerning the substance of this Termination Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby, including without limitation, the legal, tax and investment consequences thereof.
2. Termination of the Agreements. The Company and CRG hereby jointly, definitively and irrevocably terminate the Agreements, effective as of the date hereof. CRG acknowledges that except as set forth in this Termination Agreement, all right to payment related to or pursuant to the Agreements shall be terminated hereby.
3. Termination Payment. Within ten (10) calendar days of the date of this Termination Agreement, the Company shall pay to CRG the sum of Thirty-Five Thousand Sixty-Five Dollars ($35,065) (the “Cash Payment”) and shall issue to CRG One Hundred and Twenty Thousand (120,000) shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Securities”). The Cash Payment shall be sent via wire transfer pursuant to those instructions set forth on Exhibit A hereto. The parties hereto agree that the Cash Payment and the Securities shall represent the only amounts to be paid to CRG in consideration for the termination of the Agreements, and CRG shall receive no further compensation for services rendered pursuant to the Agreements other than the Cash Payment and the Securities. The Company hereby represents and warrants that the Securities, when issued, shall be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. CRG acknowledges that neither the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved the issuance of the Securities, nor passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Securities; CRG further understands and agrees that the Securities have not been registered (i) with the SEC under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”); or (ii) with any state securities commission. In connection with the issuance of the Securities, CRG hereby represents and warrants that those acknowledgements and representations set forth on Annex A to this Termination Agreement are true and complete. Annex A is incorporated herein by reference thereto. CRG agrees to comply with any and all covenants and agreements set forth in Annex A.
4. Release. CRG represents and warrants to the Company and any direct or indirect subsidiary thereof and its officers, directors, employees, representatives, shareholders, agents, attorneys, accountants, consultants and affiliates and any successor to any of the aforementioned (collectively, the “Released Parties”) that CRG has no claims against the Company or any of the Released Parties in connection with the termination of the Agreements. CRG hereby fully and forever releases and discharges the Released Parties from any claim, and/or cause of action, that CRG and all other persons having rights under the Agreements, has with respect to any matter arising from or related to the Agreements or the termination thereof, without regard to whether such claim or cause of action is presently known or knowable. CRG understands that in some jurisdictions a general release does not extend to claims which a creditor does not know or suspect to exist in his favor at the time of executing the release, which if known by such creditor must have materially affected such creditor’s settlement with the debtor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CRG hereby expressly waives and relinquishes all rights and benefits under any such provision of the law of any applicable jurisdiction to such effect or similar effect with respect to CRG’s release of any claims CRG may have against any of the Released Parties. CRG agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and each of the Released Parties and their respective successors and assigns from and against any and all losses (including, without limitation, all reasonable fees, costs, expenses and disbursements of counsel) incurred in connection with defending any action of CRG brought to contest this Termination Agreement, or to revive the Agreements, or to dispute the validity and irrevocability of the termination of the Agreements hereby.
5. Further Action. The parties hereto shall execute and deliver all further instruments and documents, provide all information and take or forbear from all such action as may be necessary or appropriate to accomplish the purposes of this Termination Agreement.
6. Presumption. This Termination Agreement or any section thereof shall not be construed against any party due to the fact that said Termination Agreement or any section thereof was drafted by said party.

(d) | CRG acknowledges its understanding that the issuance of the Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under Rule 903 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act.

(e) | CRG expressly affirms and certifies the validity of the following acknowledgments, representations and warranties for the benefit of the Company with the intent that the same may be relied upon in determining the suitability of CRG as a qualified Non-U.S. Person purchaser and Subscriber of Securities: |
