WHEREAS, Assignee desires to purchase from Lender, and Lender is amenable to selling and assigning to Assignee, Assignor’s right, title and interest in and to One Million Four Hundred Thousand ($1,400,000) of the monetary obligations evidenced by the Replacement Debentures (the “Assigned Debt”),
which Assigned Debt shall be purchased by Assignee in multiple tranches as more specifically hereinafter set forth; and
WHEREAS, on the first “Purchase Tranche Closing” (as hereinafter defined), subject to the terms of this Agreement, Assignee shall purchase the monetary obligations evidenced by Second Replacement Debenture A, and thereafter, on or prior to each subsequent Purchase Tranche Closing, as directed by Lender, the Borrower agrees to sever, split, divide and apportion
the Second Replacement Debenture B (or any replacement debentures issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable) into two separate and distinct replacement debentures, each in substantially the form as set forth on Exhibit “A” attached hereto (the “Debenture Form”), one for the amount of the portion of the Assigned Debt being sold and
assigned at such Purchase Tranche Closing (the portion of the Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at each separate Purchase Tranche Closing, as applicable, being referred to as the “Applicable Assigned Debt”), and one for the remaining amount of the overall debt evidenced by the Second Replacement Debenture B (or any replacement debentures issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable). Copies of the Purchase
Agreement, the Original Debenture, the First Debentures, and the Replacement Debentures are attached hereto as Exhibit “B”;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and agreed, Assignor, Assignee, and Borrower hereby covenant and agree as follows:
1. Recitals. The recitations set forth in the preamble of this Agreement are true and correct and incorporated herein by this reference.
2. Agreement to Assign Assigned Debt.
(a) Purchase Tranche Closings. Provided there is no default or breach under this Agreement, and that no event has occurred that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would constitute
a default or breach under this Agreement, and subject to all the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Assignor hereby agrees to sell and assign to Assignee, and Assignee hereby agrees to purchase from Assignor, the Assigned Debt, which Assigned Debt shall be sold in multiple separate tranches (each of such tranches hereinafter referred to as a “Purchase Tranche”), each of such separate Purchase Tranches to be sold and assigned
on the respective dates and for the respective amounts set forth in the schedule attached hereto as Exhibit “C” (each closing of a Purchase Tranche referred to as a “Purchase Tranche Closing” and the purchase price to be paid for each Applicable Assigned Debt at each Purchase Tranche Closing, as shown on such attached schedule, referred to as the “Applicable
Purchase Price”); provided, however, nothing herein shall prevent Assignee from electing to purchase a greater portion of the Assigned Debt than that set forth in the attached schedule for any given Purchase Tranche Closing, up to the aggregate amount of the Assigned Debt, by written notice to Assignor delivered prior to the applicable Purchase Tranche Closing. So long as this Agreement is still in effect, and no event has occurred that, with the passage of time, the giving of notice, or both, would
constitute a breach or default by Assignee hereunder, Assignor agrees that it shall not sell, transfer, or assign any of the indebtedness represented by the Replacement Debentures to any Person other than Assignee.
(b) Deliveries at Each Purchase Tranche Closing. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, at each Purchase Tranche Closing: (i) Lender shall execute and deliver to Assignee, an assignment of the Applicable
Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at such Purchase Tranche Closing, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit “D” (each, an “Assignment”); (ii) Lender shall deliver to Assignee the replacement debenture for the Applicable Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at such Purchase Tranche Closing (subject to receipt of same by Lender from Borrower
as provided in Section 2(c) below); and (iii) Assignee shall pay to Lender the Applicable Purchase Price for the Applicable Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at such Purchase Tranche Closing, by wire transfer of good and cleared U.S. currency to an account designated by Lender.
(c) Borrower’s Obligation to Sever Debentures. On or prior to each Purchase Tranche Closing, and within no later than two (2) business days after request therefor is made by Lender to Borrower, the
Borrower agrees to sever, split, divide and apportion the Replacement Debentures (or any replacement debentures issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable) into two separate and distinct and newly issued replacement debentures, each substantially in the Debenture Form. One of such replacement debentures shall be for a principal amount equal to the Applicable Purchase Price corresponding to the Applicable Assigned Debt for the applicable Purchase Tranche Closing, and the other replacement
debenture shall be for a principal amount equal to the remaining amount of the overall debt then existing and evidenced by the applicable Replacement Debentures (or any replacement debentures issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable). In order to clarify the foregoing, as an example, as part of the first Purchase Tranche Closing contemplated hereby, Borrower has provided to Lender the Second Replacement Debenture A for $150,000, which is the Applicable Assigned Debt being sold and assigned
at the first Purchase Tranche Closing, and Second Replacement Debenture B for Two Million Six Hundred Nine Thousand Four Hundred Sixty-One and 55/100 Dollars ($2,609,461.55) (as of April 8), which is the amount of the overall debt evidenced by the First Debentures, less the Applicable Assigned Debt being sold and assigned at the first Purchase Tranche Closing. After the first Purchase Tranche Closing, Second Replacement Debenture B shall then be severed in the same manner for the second Purchase Tranche Closing,
and this foregoing process of severing and issuing replacement debentures shall be repeated for each Purchase Tranche Closing, until the Assigned Debt is sold and assigned in full, or this Agreement is otherwise earlier terminated in accordance with its terms. Assignee acknowledges and understands that Lender’s obligation to sell, assign and deliver each replacement debenture representing the Applicable Assigned Debt at each Purchase Tranche Closing is subject to and conditioned upon Borrower executing
and delivering such replacement debentures to Lender in accordance with this Agreement.
(d) Remaining Debt. Assignee and Borrower acknowledge that at each Purchase Tranche Closing, and subject to Lender’s receipt of the Applicable Purchase Price, only the Applicable Assigned Debt represented
by the specific replacement debenture representing the applicable Purchase Tranche shall be deemed sold and assigned hereunder, it being acknowledged by Assignee and by Borrower that the remaining portion of the debt evidenced by the Replacement Debentures (or any replacement debentures issued in replacement thereof as hereby contemplated, as applicable) for which the Applicable Purchase Price has not been paid and received by Lender (the “Remaining
Debt”) shall not be sold or assigned thereby unless and until additional replacement debentures for additional Purchase Tranches are thereafter sold in accordance with this Agreement and the Applicable Purchase Price therefor is received by Lender.
(e) No Security Rights. Assignee and Borrower each hereby agree and acknowledge that the sale, transfer and assignment of the Assigned Debt, or any portion thereof, shall be a sale, transfer and assignment
of the monetary obligations evidenced by such Assigned Debt (or portion thereof) only, and shall not include, and such sale, transfer and assignment expressly excludes, the Remaining Debt, as well as excluding any and all security rights, rights to any collateral, or any other security interests or rights of Assignor of any nature or kind related to, arising under, or pursuant to, the Purchase Agreement, any other “Transaction Documents” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) related thereto, or any
other security agreements, UCC financing statements, or any other documents or instruments relating to the obligations of the Borrower or any “Guarantors” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) to Assignor (collectively, the “Security Rights”); it being agreed and acknowledged that all Security Rights shall remain with Assignor, as security for any portion of the Assigned Debt not assigned at any Purchase Tranche Closing,
the Remaining Debt, or any other obligations of Borrower or any Guarantors to Assignor.
3. Conditions to Purchases.
(a) Initial Purchase. Simultaneously herewith, Lender and Assignee have entered into an option agreement (the “Option Agreement”),
pursuant to which Assignee has been given an “Option” (as defined in the Option Agreement) to purchase the Assigned Debt, provided Assignee exercises the Option in accordance with the Option Agreement, and further provided that Assignee makes certain option payments to Lender (the “Option Payments”) as required by the Option Agreement. In this regard, Assignee’s obligation to purchase the first Purchase Tranche hereunder
shall be conditioned upon Assignee exercising the Option in accordance with the Option Agreement (“Assignee’s Condition”). In addition, it shall be a condition precedent to Lender’s obligations to consummate the first Purchase Tranche that Assignee shall have timely made all Option Payments under the Option Agreement (“Lender’s Condition”).
If Assignee’s Condition is satisfied and Lender’s Condition is satisfied, on or prior to June 8, 2016, then Assignee shall close on and fund the first Purchase Tranche on the first Friday following June 8, 2016. If Assignee’s Condition or Lender’s Condition is not satisfied by June 8, 2016, then this Agreement shall terminate upon written notice from either party to the other delivered at any time on or prior to the consummation of the first Purchase Tranche Closing.
(b) Subsequent Purchases. If the first Purchase Tranche Closing is consummated hereunder, and the Applicable Purchase Price therefor is paid and received by Lender as contemplated under this Agreement, then
Assignee’s obligation to purchase any additional Purchase Tranches as hereby contemplated is a binding and continuing obligation of Assignee; provided, however, Assignee shall have the right to terminate such obligation at any time during the term of this Agreement upon the occurrence of any of the following events (each a “Trigger Event”): (i) the Borrower fails to stay current in its filing obligations with the SEC; (ii) trading
of the Borrower’s Common Stock on the “Principal Trading Market” (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) is stopped or halted for any reason; (iii) any suspension of electronic trading or settlement services by the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) with respect to the Common Stock occurs and is continuing, or any receipt by the Borrower of any notice from DTC to the effect that a suspension of electronic trading or
settlement services by DTC with respect to the Common Stock is being imposed or is contemplated (unless, prior to such suspension, DTC shall have notified the Borrower in writing that DTC has determined not to impose any such suspension); (iv) the Borrower’s transfer agent (the “Transfer Agent”) fails to issue to Assignee any shares of the Borrower’s Common Stock which may be due to Assignee in connection with any conversion
rights exercised by Assignee under any debentures purchased by Assignee hereunder, or notes or debentures issued in replacement thereof, in accordance with the irrevocable transfer agent agreement between Transfer Agent and Assignee; (v) the Borrower fails to maintain its active status with its State of organization; (vi) Borrower shall default (beyond any applicable notice and cure periods) in any of their obligations to Assignee under the debentures purchased by Assignee hereunder, or debentures issued in replacement
thereof, or any other obligations of Borrower to Assignee; (vii) the Borrower fails to maintain any share reserve required by Assignee; or (viii) the trading market for the Borrower’s Common Stock has a bid price of less than $0.0001 per share. Upon the occurrence of a Trigger Event, in the event Assignee desires to terminate its obligation to purchase Purchase Tranches as hereby contemplated, Assignee shall deliver to Lender written notice of such termination delivered within five (5) days of the occurrence
of the Trigger Event (which notice shall include a statement of the Trigger Event that has occurred and reasonable evidence of the occurrence thereof), whereupon Assignee’s obligation to purchase any additional Purchase Tranches thereafter shall immediately terminate and be of no further force or effect.
4. Representations and Warranties of Assignor. Assignor makes the following representations and warranties to Assignee, each of which shall be deemed made as of the Effective Date, and re-made as of each

7. RELEASE. AS A MATERIAL INDUCEMENT FOR LENDER TO AGREE TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT, BORROWER HEREBY RELEASES LENDER, TOGETHER WITH ALL OF ITS PARTNERS AND AFFILIATES, AND THE OFFICERS, MEMBERS, DIRECTORS,
PARTNERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS AND ATTORNEYS OF EACH OF THE FOREGOING, FROM ALL CLAIMS, CAUSES OF ACTION AND LIABILITIES OF ANY NATURE OR KIND IN ANY WAY RELATING, DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY, TO THE ASSIGNED DEBT, ANY COLLATERAL SECURING ANY OBLIGATIONS THEREUNDER, THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY OTHER DEBTS OR OBLIGATIONS IN ANY WAY RELATING TO THE PURCHASE AGREEMENT, TO THE EXTENT ARISING ON OR PRIOR TO THE DATE HEREOF, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY AND ALL CLAIMS ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO NEGOTIATIONS, DEMANDS, REQUESTS

of such breach from Assignee, which notice shall specify the breach with specificity, then Assignee’s sole and exclusive remedy hereunder shall be to terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Assignor, whereupon this Agreement shall terminate and Assignor and Assignee shall have no further obligation, each to the other, under this Agreement. Assignor and Assignee agree that the foregoing exclusive remedy will be adequate and each of them agrees that Assignee shall not have any other remedies, at law
or in equity, for any breach by Assignor not cured within any applicable notice and cure period, other than termination of this Agreement as hereby provided.
(b) Breach By Assignee. In the event Assignee shall breach any of its covenants or agreements hereunder, and such breach is not cured within twenty (20) days after Assignee’s receipt of written notice

Assignor and Assignee agree that the foregoing exclusive remedy will be adequate and each of them agrees that Assignor shall not have any other remedies, at law
or in equity, for any breach by Assignee not cured within any applicable notice and cure period, other than termination of this Agreement as hereby provided.
(c) Breach by Borrower. Any breach by Borrower under this Agreement shall be deemed an event of default by Borrower under the Purchase Agreement, and any such breach may be enforced by Assignor through any
remedies available to Assignor, at law or in equity, or under the Purchase Agreement. Borrower shall have no rights to enforce this Agreement as against Assignor or Assignee, nor shall any breach or default by Assignor or Assignee hereunder in any way abrogate, limit, or otherwise affect Borrower’s obligations under the Purchase Agreement and related Transaction Documents.
9. No Waiver. The parties recognize and acknowledge that by entering into this Agreement, the Lender is not waiving any rights or remedies it may have under the Purchase Agreement or any of the Transaction
Documents, or any defaults or Events of Default arising thereunder. In addition, notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, the Lender shall have the right, at any time, to accept payments (whether in full or partial payments) of the then outstanding Remaining Debt, or any portion of the Assigned Debt not assigned at any Purchase Tranche Closing, whether such payments are made by the Borrower, any other Person purchasing all or any portion of the then outstanding Remaining Debt, or
any portion of the Assigned Debt not assigned at any Purchase Tranche Closing, or any other Person, and in such event, Lender shall have the absolute right to terminate this Agreement, without liability to Assignee or any other Person, with respect to any portion of the Assigned Debt not yet sold and assigned to Assignee as of such date.
10. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws governing the Replacement Debentures.

any person or circumstances shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to persons or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, shall not be affected by such invalidity or unenforceability.

by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format file or other similar format file, such signature shall be deemed an original for all purposes and shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or “.pdf” signature page was an original thereof.
