The Company and each Subsidiary possess all certificates, authorizations and permits issued by the appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities necessary to conduct their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports, except where the failure to possess such permits would not, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect (“Material Permits”), and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received any notice of proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any Material Permit.
(n) Title to Assets. The Company and each Subsidiary have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and each Subsidiary and good and marketable title in all personal property owned by them that is material to the business of the Company and each Subsidiary, in each case free and clear of all Liens, except for Liens that do not materially affect the value of such property and do not materially interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company and each Subsidiary and Liens for the payment of federal, state or other taxes, the payment of which is neither delinquent nor subject to penalties. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and each Subsidiary are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases of which the Company and each Subsidiary are in compliance.

Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company has not, in the 12 months preceding the Effective Date, received notice from any Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Trading Market. Except as disclosed in the SEC Reports, the Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.
(x) Application of Takeover Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti takeover provision under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of incorporation that is or could become applicable to Investor as a result of Investor and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the Company’s issuance of the Securities and Investor’s ownership of the Securities.
(y) Disclosure. Except with respect to the information that will be, and to the extent that it actually is timely publicly disclosed by the Company pursuant to Section 2.2(b)(i)(E) hereof or otherwise, the Company confirms that, neither the Company nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided Investor or its agents or counsel with any information that constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information concerning the Company, including without limitation this Agreement and the Exhibits and Schedules hereto. The Company understands and confirms that Investor will rely on the foregoing representations and covenants in effecting transactions in securities of the Company. All disclosure provided to Investor regarding the Company, its business and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Disclosure Schedules to this Agreement, furnished by or on behalf of the Company with respect to the representations and warranties made herein are true and correct in all material respects and do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
(z) 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 offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Act in a manner which would require the registration under the Act of the sale of the Securities to Investor as contemplated hereby, or which could violate any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Trading Market.
(aa) Financial Condition. To the knowledge of the Company, except as set forth in the SEC Reports, based on the financial condition of the Company as of the date of the Commitment Closing: (i) the fair saleable market value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) taking into account the expected proceeds from the sale of Securities hereunder, the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) taking into account the expected proceeds from the sale of Securities hereunder, the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid. The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt). The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances, which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the date of the Commitment Closing. The SEC Reports set forth, as of the respective dates thereof, all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in material default with respect to any Indebtedness.

Except as set forth in the SEC Reports or in Section 4.1(bb) of the Disclosure Schedules, the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state and foreign income and all other tax returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply; there are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim; the Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute of limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any foreign, federal, statue or local tax; and none of the Company’s tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.
(cc) No General Solicitation or Advertising.

No Lending Stockholder or any Affiliate of any Lending Stockholder has been, or will be, compensated by the Company, or to the Company’s knowledge any Person, in any manner, directly or indirectly, for entering into a Stock Loan Agreement except as expressly set forth therein. The execution, delivery and performance of the Stock Loan Agreements, the consummation the transactions contemplated by the Stock Loan Agreements, the borrowing and receipt of the Borrowed Shares, and any subsequent sale of any Borrowed Shares as permitted by the Stock Loan Agreements do not and will not conflict with or result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction, decree or other restriction of any court or governmental authority to which the Company, or to the Company’s knowledge any Lending Stockholder or other Person, is subject, including without limitation Section 5 of the Act and other federal and state securities laws and regulations. The Borrowed Shares are freely tradable, and may be resold by Investor without restriction.

(b) Investor agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 5.1, of the following legend, or substantially similar legend, on any certificate evidencing Securities:
NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE HAVE BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), AND, ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE OFFERED OR SOLD EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY. THESE SECURITIES AND THE SECURITIES ISSUABLE UPON EXERCISE OF THESE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT OR OTHER LOAN SECURED BY SUCH SECURITIES.
The Company agrees to cause such legend to be removed immediately upon effectiveness of a Registration Statement, if any, subject to receipt of undertakings in reasonable and customarily acceptable form regarding Investor’s compliance, in connection with any sale of the Securities, with (i) the manner of sale provisions set forth in the Prospectus and (ii) the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act, or when any Common Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144, or when any Common Shares are eligible for sale under Rule 144.

Such a pledge or transfer would not be subject to approval of the Company and no legal opinion of legal counsel of the pledgee, secured party or pledgor shall be required in connection therewith. Further, no notice shall be required of such pledge. At Investor’s reasonable expense, the Company will execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee or secured party of Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge or transfer of the Securities.
5.2 Furnishing of Information. As long as Investor owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the Effective Date pursuant to the Exchange Act. Upon the request of Investor, the Company shall deliver to Investor a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the preceding sentence. As long as Investor owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to such laws, it will prepare and furnish to Investor and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for Investor to sell the Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Securities without registration under the Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
5.3 Integration. The Company shall not sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Act of the sale of the Securities to Investor or that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities for purposes of the rules and regulations of any Trading Market such that it would require stockholder approval prior to the closing of such other transaction unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of Investor, or include the name of Investor in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency or Trading Market, without the prior written consent of Investor, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with any registration statement under which the Common Shares are registered, and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law or Trading Market regulations, in which case the Company shall provide Investor with prior notice of such disclosure permitted under subclause (i) or (ii).

No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other Person that Investor is an “Acquiring Person” under any shareholders rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that Investor could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and Investor. The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

The Company understands and confirms that Investor shall be relying on the foregoing representations in entering into this Agreement and effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
5.7 Reimbursement.

The reimbursement obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have, shall extend upon the same terms and conditions to any Affiliates of Investor who are actually named in such action, proceeding or investigation, and partners, directors, agents, employees and controlling persons (if any), as the case may be, of Investor and any such Affiliate, and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Company, Investor and any such Affiliate and any such Person. The Company also agrees that neither Investor nor any such Affiliates, partners, directors, agents, employees or controlling persons shall have any liability to the Company or any Person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company solely as a result of acquiring the Securities under this Agreement.
5.8 Indemnification of Investor.
(a) Subject to the provisions of this section, the Company will indemnify and hold Investor, its Affiliates and attorneys, and each of their directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees, agents, and any person who controls Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act (collectively, the “Investor Parties” and each an “Investor Party”), harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) that any Investor Party may suffer or incur as a result of or relating to (a) any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the Company in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents, (b) any action instituted against any Investor Party, or any of them or their respective Affiliates, by any stockholder of the Company who is not an Affiliate of an Investor Party, with respect to any of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents (unless such action is based upon a breach of Investor’s representation, warranties or covenants under the Transaction Documents or any agreements or understandings Investor may have with any such stockholder or any violations by Investor of state or federal securities laws or any conduct by Investor which constitutes fraud, gross negligence, willful misconduct or malfeasance), (c) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in a Registration Statement (or in a Registration Statement as amended by any post-effective amendment thereof by the Company) or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and/or (d) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact included in any Prospectus (or any amendments or supplements to any Prospectus ), in any free writing prospectus, in any “issuer information” (as defined in Rule 433 under the Act) of the Company, or in any Prospectus together with any combination of one or more of the free writing prospectuses, if any, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that Company shall not be obligated to indemnify any Investor Party for any Losses finally adjudicated to be caused solely by a false statement of material fact contained within written information provided by such Investor Party expressly for the purpose of including it in the applicable Registration Statement.
(b) If any action shall be brought against an Investor Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Investor Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing. The Investor Parties shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Investor Parties except to the extent that (i) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Company in writing, (ii) the Company has failed after a reasonable period of time to assume such defense and to employ counsel or (iii) in such action there is, in the reasonable opinion of such separate counsel, a material conflict with respect to the dispute in question on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of the Investor Parties such that it would be inappropriate for one counsel to represent the Company and the Investor Parties. The Company will not be liable to the Investor Parties under this Agreement (i) for any settlement by an Investor Party effected without the Company’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; or (ii) to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is either attributable to Investor’s breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by Investor in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.
5.9 Reservation of Securities. The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.
5.10 Activity Restrictions. For so long as Investor or any of its Affiliates holds any Preferred Shares, Conversion Shares or Borrowed Shares, neither Investor nor any Affiliate will: (i) vote any shares of Common Stock owned or controlled by it, solicit any proxies, or seek to advise or influence any Person with respect to any voting securities of the Company; (ii) engage or participate in any actions, plans or proposals which relate to or would result in (a) acquiring additional securities of the Company, alone or together with any other Person, which would result in beneficially owning or controlling more than 9.99% of the total outstanding Common Stock or other voting securities of the Company, (b) an extraordinary corporate transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving Company or any of its subsidiaries, (c) a sale or transfer of a material amount of assets of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, (d) any change in the present board of directors or management of the Company, including any plans or proposals to change the number or term of directors or to fill any existing vacancies on the board, (e) any material change in the present capitalization or dividend policy of the Company, (f) any other material change in the Company’s business or corporate structure, including but not limited to, if the Company is a registered closed-end investment company, any plans or proposals to make any changes in its investment policy for which a vote is required by Section 13 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, (g) changes in the Company’s charter, bylaws or instruments corresponding thereto or other actions which may impede the acquisition of control of the Company by any Person, (h) causing a class of securities of the Company to be delisted from a national securities exchange or to cease to be authorized to be quoted in an inter-dealer quotation system of a registered national securities association, (i) a class of equity securities of the Company becoming eligible for termination of registration pursuant to Section 12(g)(4) of the Act, or (j) any action, intention, plan or arrangement similar to any of those enumerated above; or (iii) request the Company or its directors, officers, employees, agents or representatives to amend or waive any provision of this Section 5.10.
5.11 Non-Circumvention. The Company hereby covenants and agrees that it will not, by amendment of its certificate or articles of incorporation, bylaws or similar organizational documents, or through any reorganization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, scheme of arrangement, dissolution, issue or sale of securities, or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms of this Agreement or the Preferred Shares, and will at all times in good faith carry out all the provisions of this Agreement and take all action as may be required to protect the rights of Investor. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company (i) shall not increase the par value of any shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion of the Preferred Shares above the Conversion Price (as defined in the Certificate of Designations) then in effect, (ii) shall take all such actions as may be necessary or appropriate in order that the Company may validly and legally issue fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred Shares, and (iii) shall, so long as any Preferred Shares are outstanding, take all action necessary to reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the Preferred Shares, 110% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion of all Preferred Shares then outstanding.
5.12 Insufficient Authorized Shares. If at any time that any Preferred Shares remain outstanding the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unreserved shares of Common Stock (an “Authorized Share Failure”) to satisfy its obligation to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Preferred Shares at least a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 110% of the number of shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be necessary to effect the conversion in full of any outstanding Preferred Shares (the “Required Reserve Amount”), then the Company shall immediately take all action necessary to increase the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to an amount sufficient to allow the Company to reserve the Required Reserve Amount for the portion of Preferred Shares then outstanding. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, as soon as practicable after the date of the occurrence of an Authorized Share Failure, but in no event later than 90 days after the occurrence of such Authorized Share Failure, the Company shall hold a meeting of its stockholders for the approval of an increase in the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. In connection with such meeting, the Company shall provide each stockholder with a proxy statement and shall use its best efforts to solicit its stockholders’ approval of such increase in authorized shares of Common Stock and to cause its board of directors to recommend to the stockholders that they approve such proposal.
5.13 Limited Standstill. The Company will deliver to Investor on or before each Tranche Closing Date, and will honor and enforce, and will take reasonable actions to assist Investor in enforcing, the provisions of, the Lock-Up Agreements with the Company’s officers, directors, and beneficial owners of 5,000,000 or more shares of the Common Stock.

No waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
6.4 Headings. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof.
6.5 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Investor, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

6.6 No Third-Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and is not for the benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other Person, except as otherwise set forth in Section 0.
6.7 Governing Law; Jurisdiction. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of the Transaction Documents shall be governed by and construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Nevada, without regard to the principles of conflicts of law that would require or permit the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit in any way any right to serve process in any manner permitted by law. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury. If either party shall commence an action or proceeding to enforce any provisions of the Transaction Documents, then the prevailing party in such action or proceeding shall be reimbursed by the other party for its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs and expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the investigation, preparation and prosecution of such action or proceeding.
6.8 Survival. The representations, warranties and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery and exercise of the Securities, until all shares of Preferred Stock issued to Investor or any Affiliate have been converted or redeemed, whichever occurs first.
6.9 Execution. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature page were an original thereof.
6.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable in any respect, the validity and enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and the parties will attempt to agree upon a valid and enforceable provision that is a reasonable substitute therefor, and upon so agreeing, shall incorporate such substitute provision in this Agreement.
6.11 Replacement of Securities. If any certificate or instrument evidencing any Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof, or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft or destruction and customary and reasonable indemnity, if requested. The applicants for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities.
6.12 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, each of Investor and the Company will be entitled to specific performance under the Transaction Documents. The parties agree that monetary damages may not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of any breach of obligations described in the foregoing sentence and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance of any such obligation the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.
6.13 Payment Set Aside. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to Investor pursuant to any Transaction Document or Investor enforces or exercises its rights thereunder, and such payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
6.14 Time of the Essence. Time is of the essence with respect to all provisions of this Agreement that specify a time for performance.
6.15 Construction. The parties agree that each of them and/or their respective counsel has reviewed and had an opportunity to revise the Transaction Documents and, therefore, the normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of the Transaction Documents or any amendments hereto. 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.
6.16 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with the exhibits hereto, contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, term sheets, letters, discussions, communications and understandings, both oral and written, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into this Agreement.

Exhibit A
Debenture
Debenture No. [ ] $[ ],000,000.00
GetFugu, Inc.
10% Convertible Redeemable Subordinated Debenture
Due [__________], 20[__]
| Registered Debentureholder: | Xxxxxx International Investments, Ltd. a Bermuda exempted company |
GetFugu, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), for value received, hereby promises to pay to the registered holder hereof (the “Debentureholder”), the principal sum stated above on [ ], 20[ ], upon presentation and surrender of this Debenture at the principal corporate office of the Company, or at such other place as the Debentureholder may designate, in such coin or currency of the United States of America as at the time of payment shall be legal tender for the payment of public and private debts.
Interest will accrue on a daily basis on the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture from and including the date hereof at the rate equal to 10.0% per annum, for the actual number of days elapsed, and shall be payable at the time payment of the entire principal sum has been made or duly provided for.
1. General.
a. No Registration.
The Debentureholder understands that: (i) this Debenture has not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or any other federal or state law governing the issuance or transfer of securities (which are herein collectively called the “securities laws”), (ii) the securities laws impose substantial restrictions upon the transfer of any interest in this Debenture, and (iii) the Company is not obligated to register this Debenture or the securities acquired upon conversion of this Debenture under the securities laws or otherwise take any action to facilitate or make possible any transfer of any interest in this Debenture.
b. Mutilated, Destroyed, Lost and Stolen Debentures.
If (i) any mutilated Debenture is surrendered to the Company or the Company receives evidence to its satisfaction of the destruction, loss or theft of any Debenture, and (ii) there is delivered to the Company such security or indemnity as may be required by the Company to save the Company harmless, then the Company shall execute and deliver, in exchange for or in lieu of any such mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture, a new Debenture of like tenor and principal amount, bearing a number not contemporaneously outstanding.
Every new Debenture issued pursuant to this Section 1(b) in lieu of any destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall constitute an original additional contractual obligation of the Company, whether or not the destroyed, lost or stolen Debenture shall be at any time enforceable by anyone, and shall be entitled to all the benefits hereof equally and proportionately with any and all other Debentures duly issued.
The provisions of this Section are exclusive and shall preclude (to the extent lawful) all other rights and remedies with respect to the replacement or payment of mutilated, destroyed, lost or stolen Debentures.
c. Payment of Interest; Interest Rights Preserved.
Interest on this Debenture which is payable, and is punctually paid or duly provided for, on any interest payment date shall be paid to the person in whose name this Debenture (or one or more predecessor Debentures) is registered at the close of business on the business day immediately prior to such payment date.
Each Debenture delivered for transfer or in exchange for or in lieu of any other Debenture shall carry the rights to interest accrued and unpaid, and to accrue, which were carried by such other Debenture.
d. Persons Deemed Owners.
The Company, and any agent of the Company, may treat the person in whose name this Debenture is registered as the owner of this Debenture for the purpose of receiving payment of principal and, subject to Section 1(c), interest on this Debenture and for all other purposes whatsoever, whether or not this Debenture be overdue, and neither the Company nor any agent of the Company shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
e. Cancellation.
This Debenture when surrendered for payment, redemption, transfer, exchange or conversion shall be delivered to the Debenture registrar for cancellation. The Company may at any time deliver to the Debenture registrar for cancellation any Debentures previously authenticated and delivered hereunder which the Company may have acquired in any manner whatsoever, and all Debentures so delivered shall be promptly cancelled by the Debenture registrar. No Debentures shall be issued in lieu of or in exchange for any Debentures cancelled as provided in this Section 1(e), except as expressly permitted. All cancelled Debentures held by the Debenture registrar shall be disposed of as directed by the Company.
2. Conversion.
a. (1) Automatic Conversion to Preferred Stock.
Immediately upon the earlier of (i) the reincorporation of the Company from Nevada to Delaware, or (ii) the authorization of any class of preferred stock of the Company, the entire face amount of this Debenture shall automatically convert into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Series A Preferred Stock of the Company, $0.0001 par value per share (“Preferred Stock”), in accordance with a Certificate of Designations in a form mutually agreed between the Company and the Debentureholder prior to the issuance of this Debenture. The number of shares of Preferred Stock issuable upon any conversion of this Debenture at any given time shall be determined by dividing the principal amount of this Debenture, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, by $10,000.00.
The Debentureholder, by purchasing this Debenture, understands that the Preferred Stock to be issued pursuant to the conversion rights granted hereunder has not been registered under the Act, nor is it the intent of the Company to so register said Preferred Stock and that, to the extent required by applicable law, the certificates evidencing said Preferred Stock shall bear a legend indicating that said shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act.
The Debentureholder further understands that unless said Preferred Stock is registered under the Act, the Act may be construed to prohibit any public sale or transfer of any of the Preferred Stock unless such public sale or transfer is effected in compliance with all applicable laws.
(2) Rights of Conversion to Common Stock.
At any time after the six-month anniversary of the issuance date of this Debenture, unless this Debenture has been earlier converted into Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 2(a)(1), the Debentureholder shall have a right of conversion of the face amount of this Debenture, together with any accrued by unpaid interest, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of common stock of the Company, $0.001 par value per share (“Common Stock”).
The basis for such conversion is, for convenience, herein expressed in terms of a dollar conversion price (the “Conversion Price”) per share. The number of shares issuable upon any conversion of this Debenture at any given time shall be determined by dividing the principal amount, together with any accrued but unpaid interest, to be converted at the given time by the Conversion Price then in effect.
The Debentureholder, by purchasing this Debenture, understands that the Common Stock to be issued pursuant to the conversion rights granted hereunder has not been registered under the Act, nor is it the intent of the Company to so register said Common Stock and that, to the extent required by applicable law, the certificates evidencing said Common Stock shall bear a legend indicating that said shares are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Rule 144 under the Act.
The Debentureholder further understands that unless said Common Stock is registered under the Act, the Act may be construed to prohibit any public sale or transfer of any of the Common Stock unless such public sale or transfer is effected in compliance with all applicable laws.
b. Method of Exercise.
In order to exercise such conversion privilege, the Debentureholder of this Debenture shall present and surrender this Debenture during usual business hours at the principal corporate office of the Company and shall deliver a written notice of the election of the Debentureholder to convert this Debenture or any portion thereof specified in such notice. The certificate or certificates for Common Stock which shall be issuable on such conversion shall be issued in the name of the registered Debentureholder hereof.
This Debenture when surrendered for conversion shall be endorsed in such manner, or accompanied by such instruments of transfer, as the Company may prescribe. The conversion shall be deemed to have been effected on the date (the “conversion date”) on which this Debenture shall have been surrendered and such notice, and any required instruments of transfer received as aforesaid, and the person or persons in whose name or names any certificate or certificates for Common Stock shall be issuable on such conversion shall be deemed to have become on the conversion date the Debentureholder or Debentureholders of record of the Common Stock represented thereby.
As promptly as practicable after the presentation and surrender for conversion, as herein provided, of this Debenture, the Company shall issue and deliver at such office to or upon the written order of the Debentureholder, a certificate or certificates for the number of full shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion. No fractional shares, or scrip representing fractional shares, shall be issued upon any conversion, but in lieu thereof the Company shall pay in cash the fair value of such fractional shares as of the conversion date. In case this Debenture shall be surrendered for conversion of only a part of the principal amount of this Debenture, the Company shall deliver at such office or agency, to or upon the written order of the Debentureholder hereof, a Debenture for the principal amount which is not being converted. The issuance of certificates for Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the converting Debentureholder for any tax in respect of the issue thereof. The Company shall not, however, be required to pay any tax which may be payable with respect to the transfer involved, and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver any such certificate unless and until the person requesting the issue thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or has established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
c. Accrued Interest and Dividends.
Upon conversion of this Debenture into shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto, the Company shall pay accrued interest on this Debenture to but excluding the conversion date. Upon any conversion, whether voluntary or after call for redemption, only those dividends shall be payable on shares of Common Stock issued upon such conversion as may be declared and made payable to holders of record of Common Stock on or after such conversion date.
d. Redemption.
In the event this Debenture shall be called for redemption, the right to convert this Debenture (but only to the extent of such redemption) pursuant hereto shall terminate at the close of business on the third business day prior to the date fixed for redemption of this Debenture, provided that if the Company shall default in the payment of the redemption price and such default shall continue for a period of 30 days, then such right to convert will revive and continue in full force and effect until and unless a new date for redemption of this Debenture shall be established as prescribed in Section 6 or a new notice of redemption shall be given as prescribed in Section 6 (in which event the right to convert shall terminate, subject to this provision, on the third business day prior to the new date so set for redemption).
e. Common Stock Conversion.
(1) Initial Conversion Price.
Until and unless it shall be changed in accordance with a subsequent provision in this Section 2(e), the Conversion Price for the Common Stock shall be a price per share (A) mutually agreed by the parties, or (B) if a price is not mutually agreed, equal to the Closing Bid Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Tranche Notice pursuant to which the applicable Preferred Stock or Debenture that converted into such Common Stock was originally issued.
(2) Definitions.
The following terms shall have the meaning given in this Section 2(e)(2) whenever used in this Debenture.
“Adjustment Fraction:” The Adjustment Fraction applicable with respect to any Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split shall have (i) a numerator equal to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the effective time of such Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split and (ii) a denominator equal to the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split.
“Reverse Stock Split:” Any of the following occurrences shall be deemed to be a “Reverse Stock Split”: (i) any amendment to the Company’s Certificate or Articles of Incorporation which shall have the effect of reducing the number of shares of Common Stock held by every holder of the Common Stock by the same proportion without providing for any distribution of anything of value to such holders in exchange for the shares lost by reason of such occurrence and (ii) any other occurrence which shall be similar in its substantive effect to the occurrence specified in clause (i) above.
Stock Dividend:” Any of the following occurrences shall be deemed to be a “Stock Dividend”: (i) any distribution of shares of Common Stock pro rata to the holders of outstanding Common Stock in order to effect a stock dividend or stock split, (ii) any stock split or other subdivision of the Common Stock effected by means of an amendment to the Company’s Certificate or Articles of Incorporation or otherwise, or (iii) any other occurrence which (A) shall have the effect of increasing by the same proportion the number of shares of Common Stock held by every holder of Common Stock issued in connection with such occurrence or (B) shall otherwise be similar in substantive effect to any of the occurrences specified in clause (i) or clause (ii) above.
(3) Conversion Price Adjustment.
Immediately after the effective time for any Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split, the Conversion Price shall change to the product derived by multiplying (i) the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such effective time by (ii) the Adjustment Fraction applicable with respect to such Stock Dividend or Reverse Stock Split.
f. Fundamental Change.
(1) Definition.
For purposes of this Debenture, a “Fundamental Change” shall be deemed to have occurred if there shall be: (i) any consolidation to which the Company shall be a party, (ii) any merger in which the Company shall not survive, (iii) any merger in which the Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such merger shall be exchanged for or converted into any cash, securities or other property, (iv) any complete liquidation of the Company or (v) any partial liquidation of the Company for which the approval of the holders of Common Stock is required or which is involuntary.
(2) Conditional Conversion Election.
In connection with any Fundamental Change, other than a merger of the Company for the purpose of reincorporation in another jurisdiction without a material change in stock ownership, the Debentureholder shall have the right at any time before such event shall actually occur to make a conditional election (i) to convert all or such portion of this Debenture as the Debentureholder shall desire into Common Stock if such event shall actually be consummated and to participate in such event as if the Debentureholder had held such Common Stock on the date as of which the holders of Common Stock entitled to participate in such event shall be selected but (ii) not to convert this Debenture if such event shall not be consummated. This Debenture converted pursuant to any conditional election made pursuant to rights granted in this Section 2(f)(2) shall be deemed to have been converted on the record date (or if there be no record date, the point in time) used to determine the holders of Common Stock entitled to participate in the Fundamental Change or other event giving rise to such conditional election.
(3) Fundamental Change Adjustment.
As a condition to the consummation of any Fundamental Change, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the Debentureholder, if such Debentureholder shall not make a conditional conversion election pursuant to Section 2(f)(2), will immediately after the consummation of such Fundamental Change have the right to convert this Debenture into such shares of stock, securities or assets which such Debentureholder could have received in such Fundamental Change if such Debentureholder had made a conditional conversion of this Debenture pursuant to Section 2(f)(2). In each such case appropriate provision will be made with respect to such Debentureholder’s rights and interests to the end that the provisions of Section 2 shall thereafter be applicable in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the conversion of this Debenture to provide such Debentureholder with protections after such Fundamental Change substantially equivalent to the protections provided by Section 2 prior to such Fundamental Change.
g. Purchase Rights.
If at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, convertible securities or rights to purchase stock, warrants, securities or other property pro rata to the record holders of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then the holder of this Debenture shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which the Debentureholder could have acquired if the Debentureholder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of this Debenture immediately before the date on which a record shall be taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights or, if no such record shall be taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock shall be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
h. Distribution Rights.
If at any time the Company makes any distribution pro rata to the record holders of Common Stock in property other than cash (“Distribution Rights”), then the holder of this Debenture shall be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Distribution Rights, the aggregate Distribution Rights which the Debentureholder could have acquired if the Debentureholder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of this Debenture immediately before the date on which a record shall be taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Distribution Rights, or, if no such record shall be taken, the date as of which the record holders of Common Stock shall be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Distribution Rights.
i. Adjustment.
In the event that the closing bid price of the Common Stock of the Company on any of the 10 consecutive trading days immediately following the issuance date of this Debenture is lower than the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price will automatically adjust to the lowest bid price during such period.
j. Subsequent Equity Sales.
In addition to any adjustments made above, if the Company at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents entitling any person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Conversion Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Conversion Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Conversion Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents are issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 2(j) in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as defined below), subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the issuance date of the Debenture. If the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance. The Company shall notify the Debentureholder in writing, no later than the trading day following the issuance of any Common Stock or Common Stock equivalents subject to this Section 2(j), indicating therein the applicable issuance price, or applicable reset price, exchange price, conversion price and other pricing terms (such notice the “Dilutive Issuance Notice”). For purposes of clarification, whether or not the Company provides a Dilutive Issuance Notice pursuant to this Section 2(j), upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Debentureholder is entitled to receive a number of shares of Common Stock based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Debentureholder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Exercise. An “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose by a majority of the non-employee members of the board of directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the issuance date of this Debenture, provided that such securities have not been amended since the issuance date of this Debenture to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (except as a result of anti-dilution provisions therein), and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be to an entity (or to the equity holders of an entity) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.
k. Notices.
Immediately upon any adjustment of the Conversion Price, the Company shall send written notice thereof to the holder of this Debenture.
3. Subordination.
a. Extent of Subordination.
The indebtedness evidenced by this Debenture shall be subordinate in right of payment to any given Senior Obligation (as defined below) in the manner and to the extent provided (i) in this Section 3 and (ii) in any written commitment which the Company may at any time make in good faith with respect to the given Senior Obligation. Without limiting by implication the generality of the preceding sentence, the Company shall have the right to enter into commitments with respect to any given Senior Obligation (either at the time such Senior Obligation shall be incurred or at any time thereafter) which may preclude the Company from making payments on this Debenture until all amounts on the Senior Obligation are satisfied or impose other restrictions on the payment of this Debenture and all other persons interested in this Debenture to the extent provided in such commitment, provided that such commitment shall be made in good faith.
b. Senior Obligations.
Any obligation of any kind which the Company may at any time have (including, but not limited to, any obligation for borrowed money, any contractual obligation, any guarantee of any kind, and any other contingent obligation) shall be deemed to be a “Senior Obligation” unless the terms governing such obligation shall expressly provide that such obligation should not be deemed a “Senior Obligation” for purposes of this Debenture.
c. Reorganization Distribution.
If there shall be any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to creditors upon any total liquidation of the Company, whether voluntary or involuntary, or upon any liquidation or reorganization of the Company in bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership or other proceedings, then all amounts due upon all Senior Obligations owed by the Company shall first be paid in full or payment thereof duly provided for before the holder of this Debenture shall be entitled to receive or retain any assets so paid or distributed in respect hereof; and upon such liquidation or reorganization any payment or distribution of assets of the Company of any kind or character, whether in cash, property or securities, to which the holder of this Debenture would be entitled except for these provisions shall be paid by the Company, or by any receiver, trustee in bankruptcy, liquidating trustee, agent or other person making such payment or distribution, directly to the holders of Senior Obligations (pro rata on the basis of the respective amounts of the Senior Obligations held by such holders or their representatives), until all such Senior Obligations shall be paid in full, in money or money’s worth, after giving effect to any concurrent payment or distribution to or for the holders of Senior Obligations, before any payment or distribution shall be made to the holder of this Debenture. If any holder of any Senior Obligation receives any payment or distribution which, except for the provisions of this Section 3(c) would have been payable or deliverable with respect to this Debenture, the holder of this Debenture shall be subrogated to the rights of the holder of such Senior Obligation against the Company to the extent of the amount so paid.
d. Rights Reserved.
The provisions of this Section 3 are for the purpose of defining the relative rights of the holders of Senior Obligations on the one hand and the holder of this Debenture on the other hand. Nothing herein shall impair the Company’s obligation to the holder of this Debenture to pay to such Debentureholder principal and interest in accordance with the terms of this Debenture. An amount shall be deemed “past due” for the purpose of this Debenture if it shall not be paid when its payment would have been due if this Section 3 had not been applicable. No provision of this Section 3 shall be construed to prevent the holder of this Debenture from exercising all remedies otherwise available under the terms of this Debenture or under applicable law upon the occurrence of Default (including, but not limited to, acceleration of the maturity of principal owed on this Debenture), no portion of the amounts owed on this Debenture shall be paid by the Company until and unless such payment shall be permitted under this Section 3 and any commitment made in accordance with clause (a) of this Section 3. Nothing in this Section 3 shall prevent conversion at any time of all or any part of the principal balance of this Debenture into Common Stock.
4. Remedies.
a. Events of Default.
A “Default” shall be deemed to exist for purposes of this Debenture so long as:
(1) any interest owed shall be past due and shall have been past due for 30 days; or
(2) the principal owed on this Debenture shall be past due; or
(3) the Company shall be in breach of any other covenant, agreement or warranty of the Company in this Debenture, and such breach shall have continued for at least 30 days after there has been given to the Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer of the Company, by the Debentureholder, a written notice specifying such breach and requiring it to be remedied and stating that such notice is a “notice of default” hereunder; or
(4) a decree or order by a court having jurisdiction in the premises shall have been entered adjudicating the Company a bankrupt or insolvent, or approving as properly filed a petition seeking reorganization of the Company under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other similar applicable Federal or state law, and such decree or order shall have been in effect for a period of 60 days; or a decree or order of a court having jurisdiction in the premises for the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of the Company or of any property of the Company or for the winding up or liquidation of its affairs shall be in effect and shall have been in effect for a period of 60 days; or
(5) the Company or any subsidiary shall have instituted proceedings to be adjudicated a voluntary bankrupt, or shall consent to the filing of a bankruptcy proceeding against it, or shall have filed a petition or answer or consent seeking reorganization under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or any other applicable Federal or state law, or shall have consented to the filing of any such petition, or shall consent to the appointment of a receiver or liquidator or trustee or assignee in bankruptcy or insolvency of it or of its property, or shall have made an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or shall have admitted in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or corporate action shall be taken by the Company or any subsidiary in furtherance of any of the aforesaid purposes.
A default shall be deemed to exist whenever prescribed by the terms of this Section 4(a) regardless of whether such Default shall be voluntary or involuntary or shall result from compliance with any legal requirement or any other circumstance of any kind.
b. Acceleration of Maturity.
Whenever a Default exists, the Debentureholder may declare the principal of this Debenture to be due and payable immediately, by a notice in writing to the Chief Financial Officer or Treasurer of the Company, and upon any such declaration such principal (subject to the provisions of Section 3) shall become immediately due and payable.
c. Collection of Indebtedness and Suits for Enforcement.
The Company covenants that if the principal or interest shall become past due, the Company shall pay interest upon the overdue principal and, to the extent that payment of such interest shall be legally enforceable, upon overdue installments of interest, at the rate borne by this Debenture and such further amount as shall be sufficient to cover the costs and expenses of collection, including the reasonable compensation, expenses, disbursements and advances of the Debentureholder. If the Company fails to pay such amount forthwith upon such demand, the Debentureholder may institute a judicial proceeding for the collection of the sums so due and unpaid, and may prosecute such proceeding to judgment or final decree, and may enforce the same against the Company or any other obligor upon the Debenture and collect the moneys adjudged or decreed to be payable in the manner provided by law out of the property of the Company or any other obligor upon the Debenture, wherever situated.
d. Unconditional Right of Debentureholder to Received Principal and Interest.
Notwithstanding any other provision in this Debenture (with the exception of Section 3, Subordination), the Debentureholder shall have the right (except as otherwise provided in Section 3) which is absolute and unconditional to receive payment of the principal of and, subject to Section 1(c), interest on the stated maturity (or, in the case of redemption, on the redemption date) and to institute suit for the enforcement of any such payment, and such right shall not be impaired without the consent of the Debentureholder.
e. Rights and Remedies Cumulative; Governing Law.
No right or remedy herein conferred upon or reserved to the Debentureholder is intended to be exclusive of any other right or remedy, and every right and remedy shall, to the extent permitted by law, be cumulative and in addition to every other right and remedy given hereunder or now or hereafter existing at law or in equity or otherwise. The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment or any other appropriate right or remedy. This Debenture and all rights hereunder shall be governed by the internal laws, not the laws of conflicts, of the State of Nevada.
x. Xxxxx or Omission Not Waiver.
No delay or omission of any Debentureholder to exercise any right or remedy accruing upon any Default shall impair any such right or remedy or constitute a waiver of any such Default or an acquiescence therein. Every right and remedy given by this Debenture or by law to the Debentureholder may be exercised from time to time, and as often as may be deemed expedient, by the Debentureholder.
g. Undertaking for Costs.
The parties to this Debenture agree that any court may in its discretion require, in any suit for the enforcement of any right or remedy under this Debenture, any party litigant in such suit of an undertaking to pay the costs of such suit, and that such court may in its discretion assess reasonable costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, against any party litigant in such suit, having due regard to the merits and good faith of the claims or defenses made by such party litigant.
h. Waiver of Stay or Extension Laws.
The Company covenants (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) that it will not at any time insist upon, or plead, or in any manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay or extension law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in force, which may affect the covenants or the performance of this Debenture, and the Company (to the extent that it may lawfully do so) hereby expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it will not hinder, delay or impede the execution of any power herein granted, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as though no such law had been enacted.
5. Covenants.
a. Reports.
So long as this Debenture is outstanding, the Company will furnish to the Debentureholder as soon as practicable after the end of each fiscal year, the annual report to shareholders of the Company containing the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of the close of such fiscal year and corresponding statements of income and cash flows for the year then ended, such annual report to include an opinion of the Company’s independent certified public accountants.
b. Reservation of Shares.
The Company agrees to reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock, until this Debenture shall cease to be convertible or shall be fully converted, shares of Common Stock in a number which at any given time shall be equal to all of the number of shares which may be issuable on or at the given time by reason of the conversion of this Debenture.
6. Redemption.
a. Option of Company.
This Debenture may be redeemed prior to maturity, at the option of the Company, at the principal corporate office of the Company, upon notice referred to below, at the face amount hereof together with accrued but unpaid interest, together with an amount equal to the interest that, but for such redemption, would have accrued and been payable through the fifth anniversary of the issuance date of this Debenture.
b. Notice of Redemption.
Notice of redemption shall be delivered in person or be given by first-class mail, postage prepaid, to the Debentureholder at the address appearing in the records of the Company. All notices of redemption shall state:
(1) the redemption date (which shall not be less than 30 nor more than 90 days after the date such notice of redemption shall be mailed and which date shall be deemed the “Redemption Date” for this Debenture),
(2) the redemption price,
(3) if less than the entire principal amount of this Debenture is to be redeemed, the principal amount of this Debenture to be redeemed,
(4) that on the redemption date the redemption price will become due and payable upon such Debenture, and that interest thereon shall cease to accrue from and after said such date, and
(5) that the place where this Debenture is to be surrendered for payment shall be the principal corporate office of the Company.
c. Debenture Payable on Redemption Date.
If a redemption notice shall be given in accordance with the provisions of Section 6(b), then on the Payment Date there shall be due and payable and the Company shall pay (1) all principal owed on this Debenture on the Redemption Date and (ii) all interest which shall have accrued prior to the Redemption Date but which shall not have been paid earlier together with an amount equal to the interest that, but for such redemption, would have accrued and been payable through the fifth anniversary of the issuance date of this Debenture (except for interest which the Company shall have ceased to be obliged to pay by virtue of the conversion of this Debenture). For purposes of this Debenture, the “Payment Date” shall be the later of the Redemption Date or the time this Debenture shall be surrendered to the Company. If this Debenture shall not be paid upon the Payment Date, the principal shall, until paid, bear interest from the Redemption Date at the rate borne by this Debenture.
In the event of redemption by the Company, the Company hereby retains a right to offset against the amount to be paid by the Company to the Debentureholder upon such redemption any amounts owed to the Company by the Debentureholder as of the Payment Date notwithstanding the manner in which such debt of the Debentureholder to the Company may have been incurred.
d. Cancellation of Redeemed Debenture.
When and if this Debenture is redeemed and paid under the provisions of this Section 6(d), this Debenture shall forthwith be cancelled by the Company.

RIGHTS AND LIMITATIONS
OF
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
The undersigned, Xxxx Xxxxx and Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx, hereby certify that:
1. They are the President and Chief Executive Officer, respectively, of GetFugu, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Corporation”).
2. The Corporation is authorized to issue 200,000,000 shares of preferred stock, none of which shares are issued and outstanding.
3. The following resolutions were duly adopted by the Board of Directors:
WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation provides for a class of its authorized stock known as preferred stock, comprised of 200,000,000 shares, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Preferred Stock”), issuable from time to time in one or more series;
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Corporation is authorized to fix the dividend rights, dividend rate, voting rights, conversion rights, rights and terms of redemption and liquidation preferences of any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock and the number of shares constituting any series and the designation thereof, of any of them; and
WHEREAS, it is the desire of the Board of Directors of the Corporation, pursuant to its authority as aforesaid, to fix the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to a series of Preferred Stock, which shall consist of up to 3,000 shares of the Preferred Stock which the Corporation has the authority to issue, as follows:
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the Board of Directors does hereby provide for the issuance of a series of Preferred Stock for cash or exchange of other securities, rights or property and does hereby fix and determine the rights, preferences, restrictions and other matters relating to such series of Preferred Stock as follows:
TERMS OF PREFERRED STOCK
1. Designation, Amount and Par Value. The series of Preferred Stock shall be designated as the Corporation’s Series A Preferred Stock (the “Series A Preferred Stock”) and the number of shares so designated shall be 3,000, which shall not be subject to increase without any consent of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock (each a “Holder” and collectively, the “Holders”) as required by applicable law. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall have a par value of $0.0001 per share.
2. Ranking and Voting. The Series A Preferred Stock shall, with respect to rights upon liquidation, winding-up or dissolution, rank:
a. senior to the Corporation’s common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (“Common Stock”), and any other class or series of Preferred Stock of the Corporation (collectively, together with any warrants, rights, calls or options exercisable for or convertible into such Preferred Stock, the “Junior Shares”); and
b. junior to all existing and future indebtedness of the Corporation.
Except as required by applicable law, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock will have no right to vote on any matters, questions or proceedings of this Corporation including, without limitation, the election of directors.
3. Dividends and Other Distributions. Commencing on the first anniversary of the date of the issuance of any such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (each respectively an “Issuance Date”), Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive dividends on each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock (“Dividends”), which shall accrue in shares of Series A Preferred Stock at a rate equal to 10.0% per annum from the Issuance Date. Accrued Dividends shall be payable annually on the anniversary of the Issuance Date. No Dividends shall be payable with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock that are redeemed for cash or converted into shares of Common Stock prior to the first anniversary of the Issuance Date with respect to such shares.
a. Any calculation of the amount of such Dividends payable pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3 shall be made based on a 365-day year and on the number of days actually elapsed during the applicable calendar quarter, compounded annually.
b. So long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, no dividends or other distributions will be paid, declared or set apart with respect to any Junior Shares. The Common Stock shall not be redeemed while the Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding.
4. Conversion.
a. Mechanics of Conversion.
(i) Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, one or more shares of the Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into shares of Common Stock, at any time or times (i) if after the six-month anniversary, at the option of Holder, by delivery of a written notice to the Company (the “Holder Conversion Notice”), of the Holder’s election to convert the Series A Preferred Stock, or (ii) if after the three-month anniversary, at the option of the Company, delivery of a written notice to Holder (the “Company Conversion Notice” and, with the Holder Conversion Notice, each a “Conversion Notice”), of the Company’s election to convert the Series A Preferred Stock. On the same Trading Day on which the Company has received the Holder Conversion Notice or issued the Company Conversion Notice (as the case may be) by 10:30 a.m. Eastern time, or the following Trading Day if received after such time or on a non-Trading Day, the Company shall transmit by facsimile or electronic mail an acknowledgment of confirmation of receipt of the Holder Conversion Notice or issuance of the Company Conversion Notice to the Holder and the Company’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) and shall authorize the credit by the Transfer Agent of such aggregate number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to such Conversion Notice to Holder’s or its designee’s balance account with The Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, through its Deposit/Withdrawal at Custodian (DWAC) system, time being of the essence.
(ii) No fractional shares of Common Stock are to be issued upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock, but rather the Company shall issue to Holder scrip or warrants in registered form (certificated or uncertificated) which shall entitle Holder to receive a full share upon the surrender of such scrip or warrants aggregating a full share.
(iii) The Holder shall not be required to deliver the original certificates for the Series A Preferred Stock in order to effect a conversion hereunder.
(iv) The Company shall pay any and all taxes which may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of Conversion Shares to Holder.
x. Xxxxxx Conversion. In the event of a conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a Holder Conversion Notice, the Company shall issue to the Holder of such Series A Preferred Stock a number of Conversion Shares equal to (i) the Series A Liquidation Value (defined in Section 5(a) below) multiplied by (ii) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject to the Holder Conversion Notice divided by (iii) the Conversion Price with respect to such Series A Preferred Stock.
c. Company Conversion. In the event of a conversion of any Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to a Company Conversion Notice, the Company shall issue to the Holder of such Series A Preferred Stock a number of Conversion Shares equal to (x) the Series A Liquidation Value multiplied by (y) the number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock subject to the Company Conversion Notice divided by (z) the Conversion Price with respect to such Series A Preferred Stock. If the Company exercises this conversion option with respect to any Series A Preferred Stock (other than Series A Preferred Stock issued as a dividend with respect to Series A Preferred Stock) prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance of such shares, then in addition to the Conversion Shares to be issued in accordance with the preceding sentence, the Company shall pay to such Holder an additional number of Conversion Shares equal to the following with respect to such converted Series A Preferred Stock (other than Series A Preferred Stock issued as a dividend with respect to Series A Preferred Stock): (i) 44% of the Conversion Shares issuable in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock (other than Series A Preferred Stock issued as a dividend with respect to Series A Preferred Stock) if converted after the three-month anniversary of the Issuance Date but prior to the first anniversary of the Issuance Date, (i) 35% of the Conversion Shares issuable in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock (other than Series A Preferred Stock issued as a dividend with respect to Series A Preferred Stock) if converted after the first anniversary of the Issuance Date but prior to the second anniversary of the Issuance Date, (ii) 27% of the Conversion Shares issuable in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock (other than Series A Preferred Stock issued as a dividend with respect to Series A Preferred Stock) if converted on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the Issuance Date, (iii) 18% of the Conversion Shares issuable in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock (other than Series A Preferred Stock issued as a dividend with respect to Series A Preferred Stock) if converted on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date, (iv) 9% of the Conversion Shares issuable in respect of such Series A Preferred Stock (other than Series A Preferred Stock issued as a dividend with respect to Series A Preferred Stock) if converted on or after the fourth anniversary but prior to the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date.
d. If the Company at any time on or after the date of issuance of any Series A Preferred Stock subdivides (by any stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision will be proportionately reduced and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately increased. If the Company at any time on or after such issuance date combines (by combination, reverse stock split or otherwise) one or more classes of its outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares, the Conversion Price in effect immediately prior to such combination will be proportionately increased and the number of Conversion Shares will be proportionately decreased. Any adjustment under this Section 4.d shall become effective at the close of business on the date the subdivision or combination becomes effective.
e. In addition to any adjustments pursuant to Section 4.d if at any time the Company grants, issues or sells any options, warrants, convertible securities, or rights to purchase stock, options, warrants, securities, or other property pro rata to the record holders of any class of shares of Common Stock (the “Purchase Rights”), then Holder will be entitled to acquire, upon the terms applicable to such Purchase Rights, the aggregate Purchase Rights which Holder could have acquired if Holder had held the number of shares of Common Stock acquirable upon conversion of all Preferred Stock held by Holder immediately before the date on which a record is taken for the grant, issuance or sale of such Purchase Rights, or, if no such record is taken, the date as of which the record holders of shares of Common Stock are to be determined for the grant, issue or sale of such Purchase Rights.
f. Definitions. For purposes of this Section 4, the following terms shall have the following meanings:
(i) The “Conversion Price” means a price per share (A) mutually agreed by the parties, or (B) if a price is not mutually agreed, equal to the Closing Bid Price of a share of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of the Tranche Notice pursuant to which the applicable Preferred Stock or Debenture that converted into such Common Stock was originally issued, subject to adjustment as set forth herein.
(ii) “Conversion Shares” means the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of Series A Preferred Stock.
(iii) The “Closing Bid Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price for such security on the Trading Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Trading Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price, then the last bid price of such security prior to 4:00 p.m., Eastern time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Trading Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last closing bid price of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices of any market makers for such security as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.). If the Closing Bid Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the holder.
(iv) A “Trading Day” means any day on which the Common Stock is traded on the Trading Market; provided that it shall not include any day on which the Common Stock is (a) scheduled to trade for less than 5 hours, or (b) suspended from trading.
(v) The “Trading Market” means the OTC Bulletin Board, The NASDAQ Stock Market, the NYSE Amex, or the New York Stock Exchange, whichever is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock, but does not include the Pink Sheets inter-dealer electronic quotation and trading system.
(vi) A “Tranche Notice Date” with respect to a Series A Preferred Share shall mean the Tranche Notice Date established for the issuance of such Series A Preferred Stock under the stock purchase agreement pursuant to which such Series A Preferred Share was issued to the Holder thereof.
g. Failure to Timely Deliver Conversion Shares. If the Company shall fail (through no fault of Holder) to timely authorize the credit of the Holder’s balance account with DTC for such number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled pursuant to a Conversion Notice, then, in addition to all other remedies available to Holder, the Company shall, subject to the availability of lawful funds therefor, pay in cash to Holder on each day that the issuance of such Conversion Shares is not timely effected an amount equal to 1.5% of the product of (A) the sum of the number of Conversion Shares not issued to Holder on a timely basis and to which Holder is entitled and (B) the Closing Bid Price of the shares of Common Stock on the Trading Day immediately preceding the last possible date which the Company could have issued such Conversion Shares to Holder without violating any other restrictions on the issuance of Conversion Shares to the Holder, including clause (h) below. In addition to the foregoing, if after the Company’s receipt of the applicable conversion delivery documents the Company shall fail (through no fault of Holder) to timely authorize the credit of the Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder, and the Holder purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Holder of Conversion Shares issuable upon such exercise that the Holder anticipated receiving from the Company, then the Company shall, within one Trading Day after the Holder’s request and in the Holder’s discretion, either (i) pay cash, subject to the availability of lawful funds therefor, to the Holder in an amount equal to the Holder’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Buy-In Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder and to issue such Conversion Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to credit such Holder’s balance account with DTC for the number of Conversion Shares to which the Holder is entitled upon the Holder’s exercise hereunder and pay cash, subject to the availability of lawful funds therefor, to the Holder in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Buy-In Price over the product of (A) such number of shares of Common Stock sold by Holder in satisfaction of its obligations, times (B) the Closing Bid Price on the date of exercise.
h. Adjustment. In the event that the Closing Bid Price of the Common Stock of the Company on any of the 10 consecutive Trading Days immediately following the Tranche Notice Date for any shares of Series A Preferred Stock is lower than the Conversion Price, the Conversion Price will automatically adjust to the lowest Closing Bid Price during such period.
i. Subsequent Equity Sales. If the Company, at any time while any Series A Preferred Stock is outstanding, shall sell or grant any option to purchase, or sell or grant any right to reprice, or otherwise dispose of or issue (or announce any offer, sale, grant or any option to purchase or other disposition) any Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent entitling any Person to acquire shares of Common Stock, at an effective price per share less than the then Conversion Price (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”) (if the holder of the Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent so issued shall at any time, whether by operation of purchase price adjustments, reset provisions, floating conversion, exercise or exchange prices or otherwise, or due to warrants, options or rights per share which are issued in connection with such issuance, be entitled to receive shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share which is less than the Conversion Price, such issuance shall be deemed to have occurred for less than the Conversion Price on such date of the Dilutive Issuance), then the Conversion Price shall be reduced and only reduced to equal the Base Share Price and the number of Conversion Shares issuable hereunder shall be increased such that the aggregate Conversion Price payable hereunder, after taking into account the decrease in the Exercise Price, shall be equal to the aggregate Exercise Price prior to such adjustment. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalent is issued. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustments shall be made, paid or issued under this Section 4(i) in respect of an Exempt Issuance (as defined below), subject to adjustment for reverse and forward stock splits, stock dividends, stock combinations and other similar transactions of the Common Stock that occur after the issuance date of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the occurrence of any Dilutive Issuance, after the date of such Dilutive Issuance the Holder is entitled to receive a number of Conversion Shares based upon the Base Share Price regardless of whether the Holder accurately refers to the Base Share Price in the Notice of Conversion. An “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) shares of Common Stock or options to employees, officers, or directors of the Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose by a majority of the non-employee members of the board of directors or a majority of the members of a committee of non-employee directors established for such purpose, (b) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the issuance date of this Debenture, provided that such securities have not been amended since the issuance date of this Debenture to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise price, exchange price or conversion price of such securities (except as a result of anti-dilution provisions therein), and (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company, provided that any such issuance shall only be to an entity (or to the equity holders of an entity) which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company or an asset in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities.
j. Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, at no time may the Company or Holder deliver a Conversion Notice if the number of Conversion Shares to be received pursuant to such Conversion Notice, aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially (or deemed beneficially) owned by Holder, would result in Holder owning, on the date of delivery of the Conversion Notice, more than 9.99% of all Common Stock outstanding as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, as of any date, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock into which the Preferred Stock are convertible within 61 days, together with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially (or deemed beneficially) owned (as determined pursuant to Rule 13d-3 under the Exchange Act) by Holder and its affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Exchange Act), shall not exceed 9.99% of the total outstanding shares of Common Stock as of such date.
k. Disputes. In the case of a dispute as to the determination of the Conversion Price or the arithmetic calculation of the number of Conversion Shares issued or issuable hereunder, the Company shall promptly issue to Holder the number of Conversion Shares that are not disputed and resolve such dispute as follows. The Company shall submit the disputed determinations or arithmetic calculations via facsimile or electronic mail within two (2) Trading Days of delivery of the Conversion Notice giving rise to such dispute, as the case may be, to Holder. If Holder and the Company are unable to agree upon such determination or calculation of the Conversion Price or the number of Conversion Shares within three (3) Trading Days of such disputed determination or arithmetic calculation being submitted to Holder, then the Company shall, within two (2) Trading Days, submit via facsimile or electronic mail (a) the disputed determination of the Conversion Price or arithmetic calculation to an independent, reputable investment bank or independent registered public accounting firm selected by Holder subject to the Company’s approval, which may not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or (b) the disputed arithmetic calculation to the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. The Company shall cause at its expense the investment bank or the accountant, as the case may be, to perform the determinations or calculations and notify the Company and Holder of the results no later than three (3) Trading Days from the time it receives the disputed determinations or calculations. Such investment bank’s or accountant’s determination or calculation, as the case may be, shall be binding upon all parties absent demonstrable error.
5. Liquidation.
a. Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, after payment or provision for payment of debts and other liabilities of the Corporation, before any distribution or payment shall be made to the holders of any Junior Shares by reason of their ownership thereof, the Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall first be entitled to be paid out of the assets of the Corporation available for distribution to its stockholders an amount with respect to each share of Series A Preferred Stock equal to $10,000.00 (the “Series A Liquidation Value”). If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, whether voluntary or involuntary, the amounts payable with respect to the shares of Series A Preferred Stock are not paid in full, the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall share equally and ratably in any distribution of assets of the Corporation in proportion to the liquidation preference to which each such Holder is entitled.
b. After payment has been made to the Holders of the Series A Preferred Stock of the full amount of the Series A Liquidation Value, any remaining assets of the Corporation shall be distributed among the holders of the Junior Shares in accordance with the Corporation’s Certificates of Designations and Certificate of Incorporation.
c. If, upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Corporation, the assets of the Corporation shall be insufficient to make payment in full to all Holders, then such assets shall be distributed among the Holders at the time outstanding, ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled.
6. Redemption. The Company may redeem, for cash, any or all of the Series A Preferred Stock at any time at the redemption price per share equal to the Series A Liquidation Value, plus any accrued but unpaid dividends with respect to such shares of Series A Preferred Stock (the “Redemption Price”). If the Company exercises this redemption option with respect to any Series A Preferred Stock (other than shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued as a dividend with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock) prior to the fourth anniversary of the issuance of such shares, then in addition to the Redemption Price, the Company shall pay to holder a make-whole price per share equal to the following with respect to such redeemed shares (other than shares of Series A Preferred Stock issued as a dividend with respect to shares of Series A Preferred Stock): (i) 44% of the Series A Liquidation Value if redeemed prior to the first anniversary of the Issuance Date, (ii) 35% of the Series A Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the first anniversary but prior to the second anniversary of the Issuance Date, (iii) 27% of the Series A Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the second anniversary but prior to the third anniversary of the Issuance Date, (iv) 18% of the Series A Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the third anniversary but prior to the fourth anniversary of the Issuance Date; and (v) 9% of the Series A Liquidation Value if redeemed on or after the fourth anniversary but prior to the fifth anniversary of the Issuance Date.
7. Transferability. The Series A Preferred Stock may only be sold, transferred, assigned, pledged or otherwise disposed of (“Transfer”) in accordance with state and federal securities laws. The Corporation shall keep at its principal office, or at the offices of the Transfer Agent, a register of the Series A Preferred Stock. Upon the surrender of any certificate representing Series A Preferred Stock at such place, the Corporation, at the request of the record Holder of such certificate, shall execute and deliver (at the Corporation’s expense) a new certificate or certificates in exchange therefor representing in the aggregate the number of shares represented by the surrendered certificate. Each such new certificate shall be registered in such name and shall represent such number of shares as is requested by the Holder of the surrendered certificate and shall be substantially identical in form to the surrendered certificate.
8. Miscellaneous.
a. Notices. Any and all notices to the Corporation shall be addressed to the Corporation’s Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer at the Corporation’s principal place of business on file with the Secretary of State of Delaware. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Corporation to any Holder hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to each Holder at the facsimile telephone number or address of such Holder appearing on the books of the Corporation, or if no such facsimile telephone number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder.

Re: GetFugu, Inc.
Ladies and Gentlemen:
In accordance with the Securities Purchase Agreement (“Purchase Agreement”), dated December 14, 2009, by and between GetFugu, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), and Xxxxxx International Investments, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Investor”), pursuant to which Company may issue shares of its Series A Preferred Stock (“Preferred Shares”), which Preferred Shares are convertible into shares (the “Conversion Shares”) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share, this shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time), to issue the Conversion Shares (such issued shares, the “Common Shares”). Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
Specifically, this shall constitute an irrevocable instruction to you to process any notice of conversion of the Preferred Shares in accordance with the terms of these instructions. Upon your receipt of a copy of the executed Conversion Notice from the Company, you shall use your best efforts, on the same Trading Day that you receive the Conversion Notice, to (A) issue and surrender to a common carrier for overnight delivery to the address as specified in the Conversion Notice a certificate, registered in the name of the Investor or its designee, for the number of shares of Common Stock to which the Investor is entitled upon conversion of the Preferred Shares as set forth in the Conversion Notice, or (B) provided you are participating in The Depository Trust Company (DTC) Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program, upon the request of the Investor, credit such aggregate number of shares of Common Stock to which the Investor is entitled to the Investor’s or its designee’s balance account with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal At Custodian (DWAC) system provided the Investor causes its bank or broker to initiate the DWAC transaction.
The Company hereby confirms that certificates representing the Common Shares shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Common Shares thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restrictions and shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company, provided that the Common Shares are registered for resale under the Act, or that if the Common Shares are not registered for sale under the Act the certificates representing the Common Shares shall bear the following legend:
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, IN A FORM REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 UNDER SAID ACT.”
The Company hereby confirms and you acknowledge that, in the event counsel to the Company does not issue any opinion of counsel required to issue any Common Shares free of legend, the Company authorizes you to accept an opinion of counsel from Xxxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxxxx & Scripps LLP.
The Company hereby confirms that no instructions other than as contemplated herein will be given to you by the Company with respect to the Common Shares. The Company hereby agrees that it shall not replace you as the Company’s transfer agent, until such time as the Company provides written notice to you and Investor that a suitable replacement has agreed to serve as transfer agent and to be bound by the terms and conditions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions.
The Company and you hereby acknowledge and confirm that complying with the terms of this agreement does not and shall not prohibit you from satisfying any and all fiduciary responsibilities and duties you may owe to the Company.
The Company and you acknowledge that the Investor is relying on the representations and covenants made by the Company and you hereunder and that such representations and covenants are a material inducement to the Investor to enter into the Purchase Agreement. The Company and you further acknowledge that without such representations and covenants made hereunder, the Investor would not enter into the Purchase Agreement and purchase Securities pursuant thereto.
Each party hereto specifically acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof will cause irreparable damage and that damages at law would be an inadequate remedy if these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions were not specifically enforced. Therefore, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by a party hereto, including, without limitation, the attempted termination of the agency relationship created by this instrument, in addition to all other rights or remedies, an injunction restraining such breach and granting specific performance of the provisions of these Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions should issue without any requirement to show any actual damage or to post any bond or other security.
You may at any time resign as transfer agent hereunder by giving fifteen (15) days prior written notice of resignation to the Company and the Investor. Prior to the effective date of the resignation as specified in such notice, the Company will issue to you instructions authorizing delivery of Common Shares to a substitute transfer agent selected by, and in the sole discretion of, the Company. If no successor transfer agent is named by the Company, you may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of Nevada for appointment of a successor transfer agent and for an order to deposit Common Shares with the clerk of any such court.
The Company must keep its xxxx current with you – if the Company is not current and is on suspension, the Investor will have the right to pay the Company’s outstanding xxxx, in order for you to act upon this agreement. If the outstanding xxxx is not paid by the Company or the Investor, you have no further obligation under this agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this letter agreement regarding Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions to be duly executed and delivered as of the date first written above.

Ladies and Gentlemen:
This Lock-Up Agreement is being delivered to you in connection with the Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of December 14, 2009 (“Purchase Agreement”) and entered into by and among GetFugu, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Company”), and Xxxxxx International Investments, Ltd., a Bermuda exempted company (“Investor”), with respect to the purchase without registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), in reliance on Section 4(2) of the Act and Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder, of shares of the Company’s Series A Preferred Stock and related Securities. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
In order to induce Investor to enter into the Purchase Agreement, the undersigned agrees that, for a period of ten Trading Days beginning on each date the Company delivers a Tranche Notice to Investor (the “Tranche Notice Date”) and ending on the Tranche Closing Date pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement (the “Lock-up Period”), the undersigned will not, without the prior written consent of Investor, (a) sell, offer to sell, contract or agree to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agree to dispose of, directly or indirectly, in respect of, or establish or increase a put equivalent position or liquidate or decrease a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder (the “Exchange Act”) with respect to, any Common Stock of the Company or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock, or warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock or any such securities, or any securities substantially similar to the Common Stock, (b) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of Common Stock or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Common Stock or any such securities, or warrants or other rights to purchase Common Stock, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise, or
(c) publicly announce an intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b); provided, however, that from and after the 6-month anniversary of the date hereof, the undersigned may effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b) so long as the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to such transaction, along with the number of shares of Common Stock subject to any such transactions by all other signatories to Lock-Up Agreements, does not in the aggregate exceed 5% of daily trading volume for the Common Stock (if the price per share is $2.00 or less) and does not exceed 10% of daily trading volume for the Common Stock (if the price per share is above $2.00).
The foregoing sentence shall not apply to (a) bona fide gifts, provided the recipient thereof agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, (b) dispositions to any trust for the direct or indirect benefit of the undersigned and/or the immediate family of the undersigned, provided that such trust agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement, (c) sales made pursuant to any written sales plans established prior to the date of this Lock-Up Agreement in conformity with the requirements of Rule 10b5-1(c) promulgated under the Exchange Act or (d) exercise of options for Common Stock and the disposition (whether by sale, gift or otherwise) of Common Stock underlying such options. Notwithstanding clause (a) above, the undersigned may make a bona fide gift of up to 10,000 shares of Common Stock to a charity or other non-profit entity and such charity or entity shall not be required to be bound by the terms of this Lock-Up Agreement; provided, however, that in the event the undersigned exercises options during the Lock-Up Period, the undersigned may not, during the Lock-Up Period, dispose of the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such exercised options equal to the number of shares of Common Stock gifted by the undersigned pursuant to this sentence during the Lock-Up Period. For purposes of this paragraph, “immediate family” shall mean the undersigned and the spouse, any lineal descendent, father, mother, brother or sister of the undersigned.
The Company agrees to provide the undersigned with notice that the Company has delivered a Tranche Notice to Investor prior to, or simultaneous with, its delivery of the Tranche Notice to Investor. Such notice shall provide the undersigned with the Tranche Notice Date and clearly indicate the beginning of the Lock-up Period.
Upon the termination of the Purchase Agreement, this Lock-Up Agreement shall be terminated and the undersigned shall be released from its obligations hereunder.
Sincerely,
By:
Stockholder
