For avoidance of doubt, these warranties and representations are made to the Company and its agents and representatives and affiliates and other members of the selling group (if any) and their representatives and affiliates, as third party beneficiaries hereto:

Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser has received and reviewed copies of the SEC Reports as well as each Schedule annexed hereto, including, specifically, Schedule 3.2 which discloses the Company’s current capitalization structure, inclusive of, convertible preferred stock, warrants and options currently issued and outstanding, some of which may be at lower prices than the Conversion Price and Exercise Price of the Notes and Warrants. Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the officers of the Company regarding its business prospects and the Shares, all as such Purchaser or such Purchaser’s qualified representative have found necessary to make an informed investment decision to purchase the Shares. Each Purchaser further understands that the Company is in need of substantial additional capital and would benefit from warrant or option exercises and, that (i) the exercise of existing or future warrants or options that are exercisable at prices below Conversion Price or Warrant exercise price (or which may be reduced to prices that are below said prices) and / or (ii) the conversion price of convertible preferred stock and other derivative securities in each case that may be outstanding from time to time, would have an immediate dilutive effect on the Common Stock, and would likely result in downward pressures on the Company’s stock price.

4.4 Restricted Securities.
4.4.1 Each Purchaser has been advised that none of the Securities have been registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable securities laws and that Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Regulation S thereunder, and that the Company’s reliance upon Section 4(a)(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D and/or Regulation S is predicated in part on such Purchaser representations as contained herein (including, for avoidance of doubt, the Questionnaire). Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities will be issued as “restricted securities” as defined by Rule 144 promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act. None of the Securities may be resold in the absence of an effective registration thereof under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws unless, in the opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, an applicable exemption from registration is available.
4.4.2 Each Purchaser represents that such Purchaser is acquiring the Shares for such Purchaser’s own account, and not as nominee or agent, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, in a manner which would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws.
4.4.3 Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the certificates representing the Notes, Conversion Shares, Warrants and, if issued, the Warrant Shares, will bear substantially the following legend:
“THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”), OR APPLICABLE STATE LAW, AND NO INTEREST THEREIN MAY BE SOLD, DISTRIBUTED, ASSIGNED, OFFERED, PLEDGED OR OTHERWISE TRANSFERRED UNLESS (i) THERE IS AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS COVERING ANY SUCH TRANSACTION INVOLVING SAID SECURITIES, (ii) THE BORROWER RECEIVES AN OPINION OF LEGAL COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE BORROWER STATING THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION, OR (iii) THE BORROWER OTHERWISE SATISFIES ITSELF THAT SUCH TRANSACTION IS EXEMPT FROM REGISTRATION.”
4.4.4 Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Shares is not liquid and is transferable only under limited conditions. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such securities must be held indefinitely unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such registration is available. Each Purchaser is aware of the provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act, which permits limited resale of restricted securities subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and that such Rule is not now available and, in the future, may not become available for resale of any of the Securities. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” as defined under Rule 501 under the Securities Act. Each Purchaser understands and acknowledges that the Company was once a “shell” company and accordingly, if it becomes delinquent in filing its Securities 1934 Act reports, any Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares will become illiquid until such time as the Company becomes current in its Exchange Act reports.
4.4.5 The representations made by each Purchaser on the Questionnaire (commencing page SP-2 appended at the end hereof) and Purchaser Signature Page are true and correct.

4.5 Purchaser Sophistication and Ability to Bear Risk of Loss.

Each Purchaser, either alone or with such Purchaser’s representative(s), otherwise has such knowledge and experience in financial or business matters that such Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment in the Securities.
4.6 Purchases by Groups. Each Purchaser represents, warrants and covenants that it is not acquiring the Shares as part of a group within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the 1934 Act or otherwise purchasing with intent to control voting over the Company.
4.7 Independent Investigation. Each Purchaser in making his decision to purchase the Units herein, has relied solely upon an independent investigation made by him and his legal, tax and/or financial advisors and, is not relying upon any oral representations of the Company.
4.8 No Advertising. Each Purchaser has not received any general solicitation or advertising regarding the offer of the Units or any of the Securities.
4.9 Certain Trading Activities. Each Purchaser has not directly or indirectly, nor has any person acting on behalf of or pursuant to any understanding with such Purchaser, engaged in any transactions in the securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any short sales involving the Company’s securities) since the time that such Purchaser was first contacted by the Company regarding the investment in the Company contemplated by this Agreement. Each Purchaser 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) prior to the time that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are publicly disclosed.
4.10 Regulation S; Non-U.S. Person Status. For purposes of compliance with the Regulation S exemption for the offer and sale of the Securities to non-U.S. Persons, if the Purchaser is not a “U.S. Person,” as such term is defined in Rule 902(k) of Regulation S, the Purchaser represents and warrants they are a person or entity that is outside the United States, and further represents and warrants as follows:

4.10.4 To the knowledge of the Purchaser, without having made any independent investigation, neither the Company nor any person acting for the Company, has conducted any “directed selling efforts” in the United States as the term “directed selling efforts” is defined in Rule 902 of Regulation S, which, in general, means any activity undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the marketing in the United States for any of the Securities being offered. Such activity includes, without limitation, the mailing of printed material to investors residing in the United States, the holding of promotional seminars in the United States, and the placement of advertisements with radio or television stations broadcasting in the United States or in publications with a general circulation in the United States, which discuss the offering of the Investment Securities. To the knowledge of the Purchaser, the Securities were not offered to the undersigned through, and the undersigned is not aware of, any form of general solicitation or general advertising, including without limitation, (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, and (ii) any seminar or meeting whose attendees have been invited by any general solicitation or general advertising.

The Purchaser understands that the Company may rely upon the representations and warranty of this paragraph as a basis for an exemption from registration of the Securities under the Securities Act, and the provisions of relevant state securities laws.
4.11 Public Statements. The Purchaser agrees not to issue any public statement with respect to the Offering, Subscriber’s investment or proposed investment in the Company or the terms of any agreement or covenant between them and the Company without the Company’s prior written consent, except such disclosures as may be required under applicable law.

The use of proceeds of the Company shall be substantially as set forth on Schedule 6.1 annexed hereto.

6.2 Piggy Back Registration Rights. At any time following 45 days after the date hereof that the Conversion Shares, Warrants or Warrant Shares (collectively, the “Registerable Securities”) are owned by a Purchaser and there is not an effective registration statement covering all of the Registerable Securities, and if the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Act, of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Act) or their then equivalents (the “Registration Statement”) relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Purchaser shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registerable Securities such Purchaser requests to be registered; provided, however, that Registerable Securities may be reduced on a pro rata basis with such other securities being registered on the applicable registration statement if and to the extent that the underwriter(s) associated with the offering which is the subject of the Registration Statement believes, in good faith, that the inclusion of such Registerable Securities will have an adverse effect on the sale of the securities for which such registration statement was filed. The Company shall not be required to register any Registerable Securities pursuant to this Section 6.2 that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Act or that are the subject of a then effective registration statement; provided, that the Company’s counsel renders an opinion letter as such in favor of the Purchaser at Borrower’s expense.

(b) Each Purchaser agrees to cooperate with the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Purchaser has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registerable Securities from such Registration Statement;

(d) Each Purchaser acknowledges that it may be deemed to be a statutory underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to the Registerable Securities being registered for resale by it, and if a Purchaser includes Registerable Securities for offer and sale within a Registration Statement such Purchaser hereby consents to the inclusion in such Registration Statement of a disclosure to such effect.
6.2.4 Expenses of Registration. All expenses (other than underwriting discounts and commissions and the fees and expenses of a Purchaser’s counsel) incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to this Section 6.2, including, without limitation, all registration, listing, and qualifications fees, printing and engraving fees, accounting fees, and the fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, shall be borne by the Company.
6.2.5 Indemnification and Contribution.

17
|
(b) Indemnification by the Purchasers and Underwriters. Each Purchaser agrees, as a consequence of the inclusion of any of its Registerable Securities in a Registration Statement, and each underwriter, if any, which facilitates the disposition of Registerable Securities shall agree, severally and not jointly, as a consequence of facilitating such disposition of Registerable Securities to (i) indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors (including any person who, with his or her consent, is named in the Registration Statement as a director nominee of the Company), its officers who sign any Registration Statement and each Person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of either Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company or such other persons may become subject, under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in light of the circumstances under which they were made, in the case of the Prospectus), not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by the Purchaser or underwriter expressly for use therein, and (ii) reimburse the Company for any legal or other expenses incurred by the Company in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that such Purchaser shall not be liable under this Section 6.2.5(b) for any amount in excess of the net proceeds paid to such Purchaser in respect of Registerable Securities sold by it.
(c) Notice of Claims, etc. Promptly after receipt by a Person seeking indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.2.5 (an “Indemnified Party”) of written notice of any investigation, claim, proceeding or other action in respect of which indemnification is being sought (each, a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party promptly shall notify the Person against whom indemnification pursuant to this Section 6.2.5 is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) of the commencement thereof; but the omission to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability that it otherwise may have to the Indemnified Party, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced and forfeits substantive rights and defenses by reason of such failure. In connection with any Claim as to which both the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party are parties, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume the defense thereof. Notwithstanding the assumption of the defense of any Claim by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate legal counsel and to participate in the defense of such Claim, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, out of pocket costs and expenses of such separate legal counsel to the Indemnified Party if (and only if): (i) the Indemnifying Party shall have agreed to pay such fees, costs and expenses, (ii) the Indemnified Party shall reasonably have concluded that representation of the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party by the same legal counsel would not be appropriate due to actual or, as reasonably determined by legal counsel to the Indemnified Party, potentially differing interests between such parties in the conduct of the defense of such Claim, or if there may be legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party that are in addition to or disparate from those available to the Indemnifying Party, or (iii) the Indemnifying Party shall have failed to employ legal counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party within a reasonable period of time after notice of the commencement of such Claim. If the Indemnified Party employs separate legal counsel in circumstances other than as described in the preceding sentence, the fees, costs and expenses of such legal counsel shall be borne exclusively by the Indemnified Party. Except as provided above, the Indemnifying Party shall not, in connection with any Claim in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel for the Indemnified Party (together with appropriate local counsel). The Indemnified Party shall not, without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld), settle or compromise any Claim or consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include an unconditional release of the Indemnifying Party from all liabilities with respect to such Claim or judgment or contain any admission of wrongdoing.
(d) Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in this Section

6.2.5 is unavailable to or insufficient to hold harmless an Indemnified Party in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to therein, then each Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the statements or omissions or alleged statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof), as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by such Indemnifying Party or by such Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 6.2.5(d) were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Purchasers or any underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Section 6.2.5(d). The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above shall be deemed to include any legal or other fees or expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
(e) Limitation on Purchasers’ and Underwriters’ Obligations. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6.2.5, in no event shall (i) any Purchaser have any liability under this Section 6.2.5 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds actually received by such Purchaser from the sale of Registerable Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any Registration Statement under which such Registerable Securities are registered under the Securities Act and (ii) any underwriter be required to undertake liability to any Person hereunder for any amounts in excess of the aggregate discount, commission or other compensation payable to such underwriter with respect to the Registerable Securities underwritten by it and distributed pursuant to the Registration Statement.
(f) Other Liabilities. The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.2.5 shall be in addition to any liability which the Company may otherwise have to any Indemnified Person and the obligations of any Indemnified Person under this Section 6.2.5 shall be in addition to any liability which such Indemnified Person may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 6.2.5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to an indemnified party at law or in equity.
6.2.6 Rule 144. With a view to making available to the Purchasers the benefits of Rule 144, the Company agrees to use its best efforts to:
(a) comply with the provisions of paragraph (c)(1) of Rule 144; and
(b) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required to be filed by the Company pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) under the Exchange Act; and, if at any time it is not required to file such reports but in the past had been required to or did file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Purchasers, make available other information as required by, and so long as necessary to permit sales of, its Registerable Securities pursuant to Rule 144.

6.2.7 Common Stock Issued Upon Stock Split, etc. The provisions of this Section 6.2 shall apply to any shares of Common Stock or any other securities issued as a dividend or distribution in respect of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares, or otherwise issued in exchange for the Common Stock generally (e.g. such as a reorganization, spinoff, merger, etc.).
6.2.8 Termination of Registration Rights. The registration rights granted in this Section 6.2 shall terminate with respect to a Security upon the date such Security is first eligible to be resold pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act.
6.3 Lock Up Agreement. All affiliates (which, for purposes of this section of this Agreement shall be defined as directors, executive officers, and/or owners of greater than 10% immediately prior to the first Closing) executive officers and directors of the Company inclusive of their affiliated entities that may beneficially own shares of the Company, shall execute a lock up agreement and agree to notify and file such agreement with the Company’s transfer agent to effectively impose a stop sale notice with respect to their shares of the Company, to the effect that such persons may not sell, assign, transfer, pledge or hypothecate any shares held or acquired by them, from commencement of the offering and continuing for a period of one year following the final Closing of the offering and, thereafter, sales of unregistered shares may only be made by such persons in accordance with the resale limitations set forth for them, as applicable, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. The foregoing lock up period shall be tolled for any time period that the Borrower has not filed its reports on a timely basis as provided in Section 6.4 below. The foregoing lock-up shall be waived if both a registration statement is in effect with respect to all of the Shares and Warrant Shares and, the Company’s shares are trading with an average daily trading volume of greater than 20,000 shares per day for 10 days straight on a market operated by OTC Markets, Inc., NASDAQ, or the NYSE MKT.
6.4 Filing of Reports. Borrower shall file on a timely basis, any and all reports or amendments thereto, as it is required to file in order to remain fully current with all of its reporting obligations under the 1934 Act so as to enable sales without resale limitations one (1) year from the date of final Closing, pursuant to Rule 144, as amended. The Company shall pay for all opinions or similar letters to its transfer agent, as well as pay for all transfer agent costs, relating to the removal of the Rule 144 restrictive legend on share certificates representing the Conversion Shares or Warrant Shares. For avoidance of doubt, all references herein to filings to be made on a “timely basis” shall include and mean, any extension periods permissible under Rule 12b-25 of the Exchange Act, provided that the Company has complied with such rule, but not beyond said extension date.
6.5 Business Development Agreement. The Borrower shall have entered, at or prior to closing, into a Business Development agreement with Wellfleet Partners, Inc., which may be affiliated with one or more Purchasers, a fee of $17,500 per month for minimum of two (months) and 100,000 restricted shares of common stock.
