The Company, covenants with Sycamore, Sweet Spot and the Sellers as follows:
7.1. Affirmative Covenants. From the date hereof through the Closing Date, the Company will take
every action reasonably required of it to satisfy the conditions to Closing set forth in this
Agreement and otherwise to ensure the prompt and expedient consummation of the Transaction

right and ability of the directors of the Company to satisfy their fiduciary obligations.
33
7.2. Access and Information. The Company shall provide to (i) Sycamore and to Sycamore’s
accountants, counsel and other representatives and (ii) Sweet Spot and Sweet Spot’s accountants,
counsel and other representatives reasonable access during normal business hours during the period
prior to the Closing to all of the properties, books, contracts, commitments, records (including,

promptly to Sycamore and Sweet Spot (a) all written communications to its directors or to its
shareholders generally, (b) internal monthly financial statements when and as available, and (c)
all other information concerning the business, properties, and personnel of the Company as Sycamore
or Sweet Spot may request, but no investigation pursuant to this section shall affect any
representations or warranties of the Company, or the conditions to the obligations of Sycamore,
Sweet Spot, or the Sellers to consummate the Transaction. In the event of the termination of this
Agreement, the Company will, and will cause its representatives to, deliver to Sycamore and Sweet
Spot, as the case may be, or destroy all documents, work papers, and other material, and all copies
thereof, obtained by the Company or on its behalf from Sycamore and Sweet Spot as a result of this
Agreement or in connection with this Agreement, whether so obtained before or after the execution
of this Agreement, and the Company will hold in confidence all confidential information, that has

notation, and will not use any such confidential information, except in connection with the
Transaction, until such time as such information is otherwise publicly available. The Company and
its representatives shall assert their rights pursuant to this Agreement in such manner as to
minimize interference with the businesses of Sycamore and Sweet Spot.
7.3. No Solicitation.
(1) For and during that period which ends thirty (30) days after the date hereof, the Company, and
those acting on behalf of any of the Company, will not, and the Company will use its best efforts
to cause its officers, employees, agents, and representatives (including any investment banker)
not, directly or indirectly, to solicit, encourage, or initiate any discussions with, or negotiate
or otherwise deal with, or provide any information to, any person other than Sycamore and its
officers, employees, and agents, concerning any merger, sale of substantial assets, or similar
transaction involving the Company or any sale of any of its capital stock. The Company will notify
Sycamore immediately upon receipt of any inquiry, offer or proposal relating to any of the
foregoing. None of the foregoing shall prohibit providing information to others in a manner in
keeping with the ordinary conduct of the Company’s business, or providing information to government
authorities.
(2) Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, at any time prior to
the Closing, in the event that the Company Directors determine in good faith by a majority vote,
based on the advice of its outside legal counsel, that there is a reasonable basis requiring the
Company to consider a Favorable Third Party Proposal (as defined below) to comply with its
fiduciary duties, the Company may furnish non-public information with respect to the Company to the
person who made the Favorable Third Party Proposal pursuant to a confidentiality agreement and
participate in discussions or negotiations with such person regarding the Favorable Third Party
Proposal. In the event the Company Directors receive a Favorable Third Party Proposal, which they
determine is more favorable to the Company’s shareholders than the terms and conditions of the
Transaction, no later than the third (3) business day following the date upon which the Company
Directors determine
that such Favorable Third Party Proposal is a more favorable proposal than the Transaction provide
34
written notice to Sycamore and Sweet Spot that specifies the material terms and conditions of that
Favorable Third Party Proposal. Sycamore and Sweet Spot shall have the option for ten (10)
business days after receipt of such notice to amend the terms and conditions of the Transaction to
cause this Transaction to be no less favorable than the Favorable Third Party Proposal. In the
event that Sycamore and Sweet Spot do not agree to the modification of the terms and conditions of
the Transaction at the end of that ten (10) business day period, the Company Directors may, with
written notice to Sycamore and Sweet Spot, and payment of a termination fee of $50,000.00,
terminate this Agreement (and concurrently with such termination, if they so determine, cause the
Company to enter into any agreement with respect to that Favorable Third Party Proposal) (the
“Termination Fee”). The Termination Fee shall be allocated and shared by Sycamore and Sweet Spot
(each, a “Recipient”) each in that amount which is equal to that percentage which the total fees
and costs paid by such Recipient in connection with the Transaction bears to the total amount of
fees and costs paid by both Recipients in connection with the Transaction and the Merger, and each
of them.
(3) As used in this Agreement, “Favorable Third Party Proposal” means a written proposal
from a credible, bona fide third party relating to any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase
of 50% or more of the equity securities of the Company, any tender offer or exchange offer that if
consummated would result in any person beneficially owning 50% or more of the combined voting power
of the Company’s voting equity securities, or any merger, consolidation, business combination,
share exchange, recapitalization, liquidation, dissolution or similar transaction involving the
Company or combined voting power of the Company, and otherwise on terms which the Company Directors
determine in their good faith judgment, taking into account legal, financial, regulatory and other
aspects of the proposal deemed appropriate by the Company Directors, to be more favorable to the
stockholders of the Company than the Transaction (taking into account any changes to the terms and
conditions regarding the Transaction and amendments to this Agreement proposed by Sycamore or
Sweet Spot in response to the receipt by Sycamore and Sweet Spot of information about that
Favorable Third Party Proposal).
(4) Nothing contained in this section shall (i) prohibit the Company from at any time taking and
disclosing to its stockholders a position contemplated by Rule 14d-9 or Rule 14e-2 promulgated
under the Exchange Act or making any disclosure required by Rule 14a-9 promulgated under the
Exchange Act.
7.4. Promissory Notes. In addition to the Subject Shares to be issued to JRT and Red Cat, on the
Closing Date, the Company and Sycamore shall execute and deliver to JRT and Red Cat the Promissory
Notes.
7.5. Adjustment of Shares of the Company’s Common Stock issued to JRT and Red Cat. In the event
the Company issues additional shares of its common stock prior to the Closing Date at any price
less than $0.15 per share, the number of shares of the Subject Stock to be issued to JRT and Red
Cat on the Closing Date shall be adjusted upward so that on the Closing Date JRT and Red Cat shall
each be issued that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock equal to 2 1/2% of the Company’s
common stock issued and outstanding on the Closing Date and after the closing of the Transaction.
35
7.6. Option to put the Company’s stock. Beginning on that date which is six (6) months after the
Closing Date, and continuing for a two year period immediately thereafter (the “Put Period”), JRT
and Red Cat, and each of them (collectively, “Optionees,” and each individually, “Optionee”) shall
have the right to require that, during any 90-day period following the first day of the Put Period,
the Company purchase from each Optionee up to 25% of the Subject Shares received by that Optionee
on the Closing Date (“Put Right”). An Optionee may exercise the Put Right, in whole or in part, at
any time or from time to time during the Put Period, by delivering to the Company a thirty (30) day
written notice of Optionee’s intent to exercise its Put Right, which notice shall specify the
number of the Subject Shares to be purchased by the Company. If during any 90-day period an
Optionee elects not to exercise the Put Right with respect to any of 25% of the Subject Shares
which the Optionee is entitled to put, such Subject Shares may be put during the following 90-day
period in addition to 25% of Subject Shares that the Optionee is entitled to put during such 90-day
period. As such, at the beginning of the fourth 90-day period, each Optionee shall have the right
to exercise the Put Right with respect to any and all of Subject Shares held by that Optionee as of
the Closing Date. The price at which the Company shall be required to purchase Subject Shares
shall equal to (i) $0.16 per share, in the event that the Put Right is exercised prior to the
Reverse Stock Split, and (ii) $0.32 per share, in the event that the Put Right is exercised after
the Reverse Stock Split. The purchase price for the Subject Shares so put shall be paid by the
Company within ten (10) Business Days following the expiration of the 30-day notice period. The
provisions of this Section 7.6 notwithstanding, if at any time during the Put Period the Company
decides to raise funds for a particular project, whether by a public or private sale of shares of
the Company’s $.0001 par value common stock or by any other form of financing transaction, and
determines in good faith that Optionees’ exercise of Put Rights may interfere with such fundraising
efforts, the Company may suspend Optionees’ rights to exercise their Put Rights by delivering to
Optionees a written notice of suspension, which notice shall set forth the planned fundraising
activity and the anticipated duration of the suspension period. The Put Period shall be extended
for the duration of such suspension period. Upon Optionees’ receipt of the notice of suspension
and during the suspension period, the Optionees (i) shall not exercise their Put Rights, and (ii)
shall not exercise rights granted under the Registration Rights Agreement at a time or in a manner
that will interfere with the efforts of the Company to raise funds. The suspension period shall
terminate and the Optionees shall be able to exercise the suspended rights to the full extent
provided by this Agreement and the documents related hereto upon the earlier of (i) completion of
the Company’s fundraising campaign; or (ii) the Company’s determination that the necessary funds
cannot be raised within immediate future, not to exceed twelve (12) months.
7.7. Registration Rights. Until such time as JRT and Red Cat may sell their respective Subject
Shares freely and without restrictions regarding quantity or manner of sale under Rule 144
promulgated under the Securities Act, JRT and Red Cat, and each of them, shall be provided with
registration rights for those shares as set forth in a registration rights agreement substantially
in the form and substance set forth in Exhibit H attached to the Merger Agreement (the

U.S. Person. Each Seller further represents and warrants that the information set forth on
Exhibit D, as completed by such Seller is accurate. In addition, each Seller represents and
warrants that it is not a registered broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Securities Act and that,

with such Seller, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without
limitation, any short sales involving the Company’s securities or any hedging transactions) since
the earlier to occur of (i) the time that such Seller was first contacted by the Company regarding
its acquisition of Subject Shares and (ii) the 30th day prior to the date hereof. Such
Seller covenants that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf or pursuant to any
understanding with it will engage in
any transactions in the securities of the Company (including short sales or hedging transactions)

party to this Agreement affected by such event of “force majeure” shall use all reasonable
diligence to resolve, eliminate and terminate the event of “force majeure” as quickly as

reasonable dispatch, as specified in this section, shall not require the settlement of strikes,

of the public enemy, war, blockade, public riot, earthquake, tornado, hurricane, lightning, fire,
public demonstration, storm, catastrophe, flood, snow, explosion, governmental action, governmental
