Exhibit 10.1

2. PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK.

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to the Investor, and the Investor has the obligation to purchase from the Company, Purchase Shares as follows:

(a) Commencement of Regular Sales of Common Stock. Upon the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections 7 and 8 hereof (the “Commencement” and the date of satisfaction of such conditions the “Commencement Date”), the Investor shall during the Term purchase up to the Commitment Amount at the Purchase Price. Beginning one (1) Business Day following the Commencement Date, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its delivery to the Investor of a Put Notice from time to time, to purchase any number of Purchase Shares (each such purchase a “Purchase”), at the Purchase Price on the Put Date; provided, however, that, unless waived by Investor, (i) no Purchase shall occur if the trading volume of the Common Stock on the Principal Market on the Business Day immediately following a Put Notice Date is less than the Minimum Volume, (ii) the Purchase shall not exceed the Put Ceiling, (iii) the Purchase aggregated with other Purchases in such calendar month shall not exceed $2,000,000 in such calendar month and (iv) the Purchase aggregated with all other Purchases under this Agreement during the Commitment Period shall not exceed the Commitment Amount and (v) Max amount per any individual PUT Notice shall not exceed $750,000 unless waived by the Investor. If the Company delivers any Put Notice for a number of Purchase Shares in excess of the limitations contained in the immediately preceding sentence, such Put Notice shall be void ab initio to the extent of the amount by which the number of Purchase Shares set forth in such Put Notice exceeds the number of Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include in such Purchase Notice in accordance herewith, and the Investor shall have no obligation but shall have the right to purchase such excess Purchase Shares in respect of such Put Notice; provided that the Investor shall remain obligated to purchase the number of Purchase Shares which the Company is permitted to include in such Put Notice. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph to the contrary, if on the first Business Day following the delivery of a Put Notice, if the volume weighted average sales price of the Common Stock on the day after each respective Put Date is more than six percent (6%) lower than the Purchase Price of the Common Stock on the Put Date, then the Investor, in its sole discretion, may accept or reject all or part of such Put Notice. If a Put Notice is rejected as provided in the preceding sentence, then, on the next Business Day, the Company shall have the right, but not the obligation, to direct the Investor, by its delivery to the Investor of a new Put Notice, to purchase the balance of Purchase Shares not previously accepted by Investor pursuant to the previous Put Notice (subject to the limitations described in this paragraph that apply to any Put under this Agreement), and which Investor may, in its sole discretion, accept or reject, all or a part of such new Put Notice. The Purchase Price of the new Put Notice will be based on the new Put Notice Date. Except as otherwise provided in this paragraph, the Company shall be permitted to deliver no more than one (1) Put Notice every five (5) Business Days, unless waived by Investor.

(b) Payment for Purchase Shares. For each Purchase, the Investor shall, on the Put Closing Date, pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount with respect to such Purchase as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds three (3) Business Days after the Investor receives such Purchase Shares, if such Purchase Shares are received by the Investor before 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, or, if such Purchase Shares are received by the Investor after 1:00 p.m., Eastern time, the third (3rd) Business Day. If for any reason or for no reason Investor does not receive the Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares (other than the Investor’s inability to receive such DWAC Shares) or delivery by other means of such Purchase Shares to Investor in respect of a Purchase within four (4) Business Days following the receipt by the Company of the Purchase Price therefor in compliance with this Section 2(b), and if on or after such Business Day the Investor purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by the Investor of such Purchase Shares that the Investor anticipated receiving from the Company in respect of such Purchase, then the Company shall, within three (3) Business Days after the Investor’s request, either (i) pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the Investor’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased (the “Cover Price”), at which point the Company’s obligation to deliver such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares shall terminate, or (ii) promptly honor its obligation to deliver to the Investor such Purchase Shares as DWAC Shares and pay cash to the Investor in an amount equal to the excess (if any) of the Cover Price over the total Purchase Price for such Purchase. The Company shall not issue any fraction of a share of Common Stock upon any Purchase. If the issuance would result in the issuance of a fraction of a share of Common Stock, the Company shall round such fraction of a share of Common Stock up or down (or, in the case of one-half (1/2) share, shall round down) to the nearest whole share. All payments made under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day. The foregoing

-4-

Exhibit 10.1

notwithstanding, Investor may withhold a portion of the Purchase Price to the extent that the Company has failed to deliver Purchase Shares to Investor in connection with a previous Put. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Company shall deliver Purchase Shares to the Investor and the Investor has not paid the Purchase Price provided for hereunder, the Investor shall pay the Company for such Purchase Shares as soon as practicable thereafter in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or, if requested by the Company, return such Purchase Shares to the Company.

(c) Put Floor. If on any Put Closing Date the Closing Market Price is less than the Floor Price (“Put Floor”), the Investor, in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and conditions herein applicable to the respective Put, may accept or reject a Purchase under this Agreement.

(d) Put by Mutual Agreement. Notwithstanding the Put Ceiling or Put Floor for each Put, as described above, at any time either as a part of a Put or as an additional Put(s) during a month, the Company may request permission to request funds in excess of the Put Ceiling or Put Floor for such month and may deliver to Investor(s) a Put or Puts in excess of the Put Ceiling, which Put or Puts Investor(s) may fund, in its sole discretion, subject to the terms and conditions herein applicable to the monthly Puts.

(e) Compliance with Rules of Principal Market.

(i) Exchange Cap. Subject to Section 2(e)(ii) below, the Company shall not issue or sell any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire any shares of Common Stock pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent that after giving effect thereto, the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock that would be issued pursuant to this Agreement would exceed the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that the Company may issue pursuant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby (taking into account all shares of Common Stock issued or issuable pursuant to any transaction or series of transactions that may be aggregated with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under applicable rules of The NYSE AMERICAN LLC) without (A) breaching the Company’s obligations under the applicable rules of The NYSE AMERICAN LLC or (B) obtaining stockholder approval under the applicable rules of The NYSE AMERICAN LLC (the “Exchange Cap”), unless and until the Company elects to solicit stockholder approval of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the stockholders of the Company have in fact approved the transactions contemplated by this Agreement in accordance with the applicable rules and regulations of The NYSE AMERICAN LLC and the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Company. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may, but shall be under no obligation to, request its stockholders to approve the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that if stockholder approval is not obtained in accordance with this Section 2(e)(i), the Exchange Cap shall be applicable for all purposes of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby at all times during the term of this Agreement (except as set forth in Section 2(e)(ii) below).

(ii) General.

The provisions of this Section 2(e) shall be implemented in a manner otherwise than in strict conformity with the terms hereof only if necessary to ensure compliance with the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of The NYSE AMERICAN LLC.

(f) Beneficial Ownership Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall not issue or sell, and the Investor shall not purchase or acquire, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement which, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then beneficially owned by the Investor and its affiliates (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) would result in the beneficial ownership by the Investor and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock (the “Beneficial Ownership Limitation”). Upon the written or oral request of the Investor, the Company shall promptly (but not later than one (1) Business Day) confirm orally or in writing to the Investor the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding. The Investor and the Company shall each cooperate in good faith in the determinations required hereby and the application hereof. The Investor’s written certification to the Company of the applicability of the Beneficial Ownership Limitation, and the resulting effect thereof hereunder at any time, shall be conclusive with respect to the applicability thereof and such result absent manifest error.

(g) Initial Funding. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, on the date hereof, the Company and Investor hereby agree that Investor shall purchase 3,076,923 restricted common shares from the Company on the date hereof at an effective priced of $0.65 per share (or $2,000,000 in the aggregate), with no registration rights.

If during such period of time any event shall occur that in the reasonable judgment of the Company and its counsel, or in the reasonable judgment of the Investor and its counsel, is required to be set forth in the Registration Statement, the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement or should be set forth therein in order to make the statements made therein (in the case of the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, or if in the reasonable judgment of the Company and its counsel, or in the reasonable judgment of the Investor and its counsel, it is otherwise necessary to amend the Registration Statement or supplement the Prospectus or any Prospectus Supplement to comply with the Securities Act or any other applicable law or regulation, the Company shall forthwith prepare and, subject to Section 5(k) above, file with the SEC an appropriate amendment to the Registration Statement or an appropriate Prospectus Supplement and in each case shall expeditiously furnish to the Investor, at the Company’s expense, such amendment to the Registration Statement or such Prospectus Supplement, as applicable, as may be necessary to reflect any such change or to effect such compliance. The Company shall have no obligation to separately advise the Investor of, or deliver copies to the Investor of, the SEC Documents, all of which the Investor shall be deemed to have notice of.

(m) Integration. From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company will not, and will use its reasonable best efforts to ensure that no Person acting on its behalf will, directly or indirectly, make any offers or sales of any security or solicit any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Purchase Shares to be integrated with other offerings by the Company in a manner that would require stockholder approval pursuant to the rules of the Principal Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated, unless stockholder approval is obtained before the closing of such subsequent transaction in accordance with the rules of such Principal Market. During the Term, the Company may issue shares pursuant to an active “at-the-market” offering program or pursuant to other transactions in exchange for real property or services, subject to the rules and regulations of the Principal Market only provided (i) such other “at-the-market” offering program or other transactions are not conducted or closed on the next Business Day following a Put Closing Date, and (ii) is not in excess of 9.99% of the daily trading volume of the Common Stock on the Principal Market for the five (5) Business Days following such Put Closing Date, unless waived by Investor.

(n) Use of Proceeds. The Company will use the net proceeds from the offering as described in the Base Prospectus.

(o) Other Transactions. The Company shall not enter into, announce or recommend to its stockholders any agreement, plan, arrangement or transaction in or of which the terms thereof would restrict, materially delay, conflict with or impair the ability or right of the Company to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including,

-15-

Exhibit 10.1

without limitation, the obligation of the Company to deliver the Purchase Shares to the Investor in accordance with the terms of the Transaction Documents.

(p) Required Filings Relating to Purchases. To the extent required under the Securities Act or under interpretations by the SEC thereof, as promptly as practicable after the close of each of the Company’s fiscal quarters (or on such other dates as required under the Securities Act or under interpretations by the SEC thereof), the Company shall prepare a Prospectus Supplement, which will set forth the number of Purchase Shares sold to the Investor during such quarterly period (or other relevant period), the purchase price for such Purchase Shares and the net proceeds received by the Company from such sales, and shall file such Prospectus Supplement with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act (and within the time periods required by Rule 424(b) and Rule 430B under the Securities Act). If any such quarterly Prospectus Supplement is not required to be filed under the Securities Act or under interpretations by the SEC thereof, the Company shall disclose the information referenced in the immediately preceding sentence in its annual report on Form 10-K or its quarterly report on Form 10-Q (as applicable) in respect of the quarterly period that ended immediately before the filing of such report in which sales of Purchase Shares were made to the Investor under this Agreement, and file such report with the SEC within the applicable time period required by the Exchange Act. The Company shall not file any Prospectus Supplement pursuant to this Section 5(p), and shall not file any report containing disclosure relating to such sales of Purchase Shares, unless a copy of such Prospectus Supplement or disclosure has been submitted to the Investor a reasonable period of time before the filing and the Investor has not reasonably objected thereto (it being acknowledged and agreed that the Company shall not submit any portion of any Form 10-K or Form 10-Q other than the specific disclosure relating to any sales of Purchase Shares). The Company shall also furnish copies of all such Prospectus Supplements to each exchange or market in the United States on which sales of the Purchase Shares may be made as may be required by the rules or regulations of such exchange or market, if applicable.

6. TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

On the date of this Agreement, the Company shall issue to the Transfer Agent (and any subsequent transfer agent) irrevocable instructions, in the form substantially similar to those used by the Investor in substantially similar transactions, to issue the Purchase Shares in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). All Purchase Shares to be issued to or for the benefit of the Investor pursuant to this Agreement shall be issued as DWAC Shares. The Company warrants to the Investor that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 6 will be given by the Company to the Transfer Agent with respect to the Purchase Shares and Additional Shares, if any, and the Purchase Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company.

Any Indemnitee 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 such Indemnitee, 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 written opinion of such separate counsel furnished to the Company, a material conflict on any material issue between the position of the Company and the position of such Indemnitee, in which case the Company shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of no more than one such separate counsel.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

(a) Governing Law; Jurisdiction; Jury Trial. The corporate laws of the State of Nevada shall govern all issues concerning the relative rights of the Company and its stockholders. All other questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement and interpretation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdictions other than the State of New York. Each party hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in the State of New York, City of New York, County of New York, for the adjudication of any dispute hereunder or under the other Transaction Documents or in connection herewith or therewith, or with any transaction contemplated hereby or discussed herein, and hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of any such court, that such suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper.

(i) Publicity. The Company shall afford the Investor and its counsel with the opportunity to review and comment upon, shall consult with the Investor and its counsel on the form and substance of, and shall give due consideration to all such comments from the Investor or its counsel on, any press release, SEC filing or any other public disclosure by or on behalf of the Company relating to the Investor, its purchases hereunder or any aspect of the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, not less than 24 hours prior to the issuance, filing or public disclosure thereof. The Investor must be provided with a final version of any such press release, SEC filing or other public disclosure at least 24 hours prior to any release, filing or use by the Company thereof.

-22-

Exhibit 10.1

to all other remedies available to the Investor under this Agreement, at law or in equity (including a decree of specific performance and/or other injunctive relief), no remedy of the Investor contained herein shall be deemed a waiver of compliance with the provisions giving rise to such remedy and nothing herein shall limit the Investor's right to pursue actual damages for any failure by the Company to comply with the terms of this Agreement. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Investor and that the remedy at law for any such breach may be inadequate. The Company therefore agrees that, in the event of any such breach or threatened breach, the Investor shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to seek an injunction restraining any breach, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.

(n) Enforcement Costs.

(o) Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived other than in a written instrument signed by the party against whom enforcement of such waiver is sought. No failure or delay in the exercise of any power, right or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such power, right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right, power or privilege.
