ROCKRIDGE CAPITAL HOLDINGS LLC, a Virginia limited liability company (the “Investor”).
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS,
the Company desires to enter into this Agreement with the Investor to sell and
issue (i) a promissory Note of the Company in the principal amount of up to
$1,000,000.00 which Note shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Note”), and (ii)
1,500,000 restricted shares (the “Shares”) of Common
Stock, par value $.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”) of the
Company; and
WHEREAS,
the Investor desires to enter into this Agreement to acquire the Note and the
Shares on the terms and conditions set forth herein;
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration for the mutual covenants and agreements set forth
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree as
follows:
1. Authorization
and Sale; Security Interest.
a. Authorization. The
Company has authorized the issuance and sale of the Note and the
Shares.
b. Sale. Subject
to the terms and conditions hereof, the Investor agrees to make advances up to
the aggregate maximum principal amount of $1,000,000 to the Company from time to
time during the period from the date of this Agreement up to, but not including
the Maturity Date. At Closing, Investor shall advance an initial
amount of $750,000.00 which loan shall be evidenced by and repaid with interest
in accordance with the Note. After the date of Closing, Investor
agrees to make additional advances to the Company under the Note up to an
aggregate maximum principal amount of $250,000 from time to time during the
period from the date of the Agreement up to, but not including, the Maturity
Date (as defined the Note) provided that the aggregate maximum principal amount
of the Note shall at no time exceed $1,000,000. As an origination fee
for the Note, the Investor shall have the option to require the Company to issue
the Shares upon not less than sixty-one (61) days prior written notice to the
Company. Upon receipt of such written notice, the Company shall issue
the Shares to the Investor on the date requested in such notice. The
Company hereby authorizes Investor to record on the Note or in its internal
computerized records the amount of each payment of principal received by
Investor on account of the loans evidenced by such Note, which recordation
shall, in the absence of manifest error, be conclusive as to the outstanding
principal balance of such Note and shall be considered correct and binding on
Investor provided, that, the failure to
make such recordation with respect to any payment shall not limit or otherwise
affect the obligations of the Company under this Agreement or such
Note.
c. Security
Interest. In connection with the Note, the Company has granted
Investor a first priority perfected security interest in the Collateral (as
defined in the Security Agreement and with exceptions as to priority to certain
of the Collateral as specified in the Security
Agreement). Regardless of the foregoing, the Note will be
subordinated to the Company’s loan obligation to Thermo Credit, LLC, including
the collateral described in Section 2.1 of that certain Security Agreement by
and between the Company and Thermo Credit, LLC dated December 28, 2007 (and
amended August 29, 2008), as well as any similar successor loan secured by the
general equivalent of those same assets.
d. Guaranty of Value of
Shares. In the event the Company borrows in excess of $750,000
hereunder, the Company hereby guaranties to Investor that: (i) on the date or
dates, as applicable, in which Investor sells all or a portion of the Shares
which have become saleable by the Investor and (ii) on the Maturity Date, the
Shares shall have a minimum per share value of $.20 (the “Minimum Per Share
Value”). On the Maturity Date, provided that the Company has borrowed in
excess of $750,000 from Investor, the Company shall pay the Investor the sum of
(i) the cash difference between the Minimum Per Share Value and the average sale
price for each previously sold Shares (whether such number is
positive or negative) multiplied by the number of sold Shares and (ii)
for the Shares which were not previously sold by Investor, the cash difference
between the Minimum Per Share Value and the market value of the Shares at the
Maturity Date (whether such number is positive or negative) multiplied by the
number of unsold shares, up to a maximum amount of $75,000 in the aggregate for
items (i) and (ii). Stock prices shall be subject to adjustment
for stock splits, stock dividends, and other similar transactions.

Parties. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports and in each

or to which the Company or its property is or may be subject.
3.11 Governmental
Consents. No consent, approval, order or authorization of, or
registration, qualification, designation, declaration or filing with, any
federal, state or local governmental authority on the part of the Company is

Assets; Leases. Except as set forth on Schedule 3.12 or in
the SEC Reports and in each case in excess of $10,000 (the “Permitted Liens”),
the Company has good and marketable title to its property that is material to
the business of the Company and assets free and clear of all mortgages, liens,
loans and encumbrances, except such encumbrances and liens which arise in the
ordinary course of business and do not materially impair the Company’s ownership
or use of such property or assets. With respect to the property and

the Company’s knowledge, the Company holds a valid leasehold interest free of
any liens, claims or encumbrances.
3.13 Leases. Set
forth in the SEC Reports is a correct and complete list of all leases under
which the Company is a lessee, other than personal property leases requiring
rental payments of less than $10,000 per year, all of which
rental payments do not in the aggregate exceed $100,000 per year. The

constitute such a default.

Trademarks. The Company and its subsidiaries have, or have
rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trade applications,
service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and
other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary and material for
use in connection with their respective businesses described in the SEC Reports
and for which the failure to do so have or could have a material adverse effect
(collectively, the “Intellectual Property
Rights”). Neither the Company nor a subsidiary has received a
written notice from any person that Intellectual Property Rights used by the
Company or a subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any
person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual
Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by any
other person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company
has taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy and
confidentiality of its Intellectual Properties, except where failure to do so
could not, individually, in the aggregate reasonably be expected to have a
material adverse effect on the Company.
3.15 Compliance with Other
Instruments and Laws. The Company is not in violation or
default in respect of any provisions of any mortgage, indenture, contract,
agreement, instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree to which the Company is
subject or by which it is bound except for such violations or defaults which
individually or in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect on the
Company. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement
and the other Transaction Documents and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated hereby or thereby will not (i) violate or be subject to any

constitute, with or without the passage of time and giving of notice, either (A)

decree or contract or (B) an event which results in the creation of any material
lien, charge or encumbrance upon any assets of the Company except in the case of
clauses (ii) and (iii), such as could not have a material adverse effect on the
Company. To the Company’s knowledge, the Company is not in violation
of any federal or state judgment, order, written decree, statute, rule,
regulation or restriction applicable to the Company except for such violations
which individually or in the aggregate would not have a material adverse effect
on the Company.

Company. The Company has no knowledge or belief that (i) there
is pending or threatened any claim or litigation against or affecting the
Company contesting its right to sell or use any product or service presently
sold or used or planned to be sold or used by the Company, (ii) there exists, or
there is pending or planned, any statute, rule, law, regulation, standard or
code which would result in a material adverse effect on the Company or (iii)
there is any other fact which in the future may result in a material adverse

developments that affect the Company and other participants in its industry in
the same general fashion.

Company will use the funds advanced under the Note for general working capital,
to fund the purchase of certain equipment and software, and for general
corporate purposes. None of the transactions contemplated in this

that Investor seeks to comply with all applicable laws concerning money
laundering and related activities. In furtherance of those efforts,

the cash or property that the Company will pay or will contribute to the Company
has been or shall be derived from, or related to, any activity that is deemed

may undertake appropriate actions to ensure compliance with applicable law or
regulation. The Company further understands that the Investor may release

all liabilities, losses, claims, actions, costs, expenses and damages, together
with all reasonable costs and expenses related thereto (including, without
limitation, reasonable legal and accounting fees and expenses incurred in

prejudiced by such failure. The Notice of Claim will set forth the
amount (or a reasonable estimate) of the Losses suffered, or which may be
