(the “Company”) has agreed to sell up to four million five hundred thousand (4,500,000) shares of its Series C Preferred Stock to Buyer under a Series C Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement (“Primary Purchase Agreement”) dated as of the date hereof, such shares of Series C Preferred Stock to be convertible into 120,000,000 shares of Common Stock of the Company;
WHEREAS, as an inducement to Buyer to enter into the Primary Purchase Agreement, Sellers have offered to sell to Buyer up to an additional 95,677,467 shares of stock of the Company (on an as-converted basis) consisting of 64,302,467 shares of outstanding Common Stock (the “Common Shares”), and an additional 3,137,500 shares of Series A-1 Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Series A-1 Shares” and together with the Common Shares, the “Seller Shares”), to be sold in connection with sales of Series C Preferred Stock under the Primary Purchase Agreement;
WHEREAS, the Sellers desire to sell to Buyer, and Buyer desires to purchase from the Sellers, the Seller Shares on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein, such purchase, sale and delivery to take place in such amounts and at such times as set forth on Schedule A hereto.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the mutual covenants contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1
SALE
1.1 Sale of Shares. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each of the Sellers agrees to sell to Buyer, and Buyer agrees to purchase from each of the Sellers, the Seller Shares at a purchase price of $0.001 per share (the “Purchase Price”).
Section 2
Closing and Delivery
2.1 First Closing. The initial closing of the sale and purchase of the Seller Shares pursuant to this Agreement shall take place on the Initial Closing (as defined in the Primary Purchase Agreement) (the “First Closing”).
(a) First Tranche Sale. At the First Closing, (i) each of the Sellers shall sell to Buyer the number of Seller Shares set forth opposite the Seller’s name on Schedule A under the heading “First Closing” and shall deliver to Buyer stock certificates registered in the Seller’s name representing not less than the number of Seller Shares being sold at the First Closing together with duly executed Assignments Separate from Certificate in the form attached as Schedule B hereto (the “Assignments”), and (ii) Buyer shall deliver the Purchase Price for such shares to the Sellers by check payable to the Seller or wire transfer in accordance with the Seller’s instructions.
(b) Second Tranche Escrow. At the First Closing, each of the Sellers also shall deliver to Nevada Agency & Transfer Company (including any successor or substitute escrow agent, the “Escrow Agent”) (i) stock certificates registered in the Seller’s name representing the number of Seller Shares as set forth opposite the Seller’s name on Schedule A under the heading “Second Closing” (the “Second Tranche Certificates”), and (ii) three (3) duly executed Assignments Separate from Certificate for each of the Second Tranche Certificates in the form attached as Schedule B hereto. The Escrow Agent shall hold the Second Tranche Certificates and Assignments in escrow pending the Second Closing. Each Seller hereby authorizes the Escrow Agent at each Second Closing or Optional Closing to take all such actions necessary to deliver to Buyer title to stock certificates for the Seller Shares being sold at such Closing. Each Seller hereby acknowledges that the Escrow Agent is so appointed as the escrow holder as a material inducement to make this Agreement and that said appointment is coupled with an interest and is accordingly irrevocable. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge that a substitute escrow agent may be appointed under the terms of the Escrow Agreement of even date herewith by and among Buyer, Sellers and Escrow Agent (the “Escrow Agreement”).
2.2 Second Closing. At the Second Closing under the Primary Purchase Agreement, (i) each of the Sellers shall sell to Buyer the Seller Shares set forth opposite the Seller’s name on Schedule A under the heading “Second Closing” (the “Second Closing Shares”), (ii) the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Buyer stock certificates registered in the Seller’s name representing the Second Closing Shares (less Shares purchased in Optional Closings) together with duly executed Assignments, and (iii) Buyer shall deliver the Purchase Price for such shares to the Escrow Agent, who will deliver to each Seller their respective portion of the Purchase Price for such shares by check payable to the Seller or wire transfer in accordance with the Seller’s instructions.
2.3 Optional Closings. Notwithstanding Section 2.2 above, Buyer has the option under the Primary Purchase Agreement to purchase from time to time any portion of the shares of Series C Preferred Stock of the Company under the Second Tranche (as defined under the Primary Purchase Agreement) at one or more optional closings (each, an “Optional Closing”) at any time prior to the Second Closing or expiration of Buyer’s right to purchase shares in the Second Closing. At each Optional Closing, Buyer shall acquire from each Seller the same proportion of the Seller’s remaining Second Closing Shares as the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock that Buyer is purchasing at the Optional Closing bears to the remaining number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock available under the Second Tranche (the “Pro Rata Seller Shares”). Accordingly, at each Optional Closing, (i) each of the Sellers shall sell to Buyer the Seller’s Pro Rata Seller Shares, (ii) the Escrow Agent shall deliver to Buyer stock certificates registered in the Seller’s name representing not less than the number of Pro Rata Seller Shares together with duly executed Assignments, and (iii) Buyer shall deliver the Purchase Price for such shares to the Escrow Agent, who will deliver to each Seller their respective portion of the Purchase Price for such shares by check payable to the Seller or wire transfer in accordance with the Seller’s instructions. If stock certificates are delivered representing more than the number of Pro Rata Seller Shares, then shares for the difference shall be issued in the names of the Sellers and delivered to the Escrow Agent for holding pursuant to this agreement.
2.4 Return of Certificates. If Buyer’s right and Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Second Tranche Shares have expired and the Second Tranche Shares were not purchased in full, then the Escrow Agent shall return to Sellers certificates for any unsold Seller Shares.
2.5 Acceptance by Escrow Agent. The Escrow Agent hereby accepts and agrees to perform its obligations hereunder, provided that the Escrow Agent shall not be liable for any mistake of fact or error of judgment or law, or for any acts or omissions of any kind, unless caused by its willful misconduct or gross negligence.

Representations and Warranties of the SELLER
Each of the Sellers hereby represents and warrants, to Buyer as follows:
3.1 Authorization. The Seller has all requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. Any action on the part of the Seller necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement has been taken, and the Seller has full power and authority to sell, assign and transfer the Seller Shares to Buyer. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Seller, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Seller, enforceable in accordance with its terms, subject to applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, reorganization or similar law affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles.
3.2 Ownership. The Seller is the sole record and beneficial owner of the Seller Shares, and such securities are not subject to any lien, charge, pledge, claim, restrictions on transfer, mortgage, security interest, or title defect or other encumbrance of any sort (collectively “Liens”) or to any rights of first refusal of any kind, and the Seller represents that the Seller has not granted any rights to purchase such securities to any other person or entity, other than Liens that have been validly waived prior to the First Closing. The Seller has the sole right to transfer the Seller Shares to Buyer. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not result in the creation of any Lien upon the Seller Shares. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement, Buyer will receive good and valid title to the Seller Shares held by the Seller, subject to no Liens retained, granted or permitted by the Seller.
3.3 Consents. No consent, waiver or approval of any third party, including a party to any agreement with the Seller, is required to be obtained by the Seller in connection with the execution and delivery of this Agreement or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, except such consents as have been obtained.
3.4 Compliance with Law and Other Instruments. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, will not result in a violation of, or default under, any statute, rule, regulation or order of any governmental agency or body, or any instrument, judgment, order, writ, decree or contract applicable to the Seller. The Seller has received all consents or waivers necessary to transfer such Seller Shares being sold by the Seller to Buyer and such transfer is not subject to any right of notice, first refusal, preemptive, tag-along or other comparable obligations or restrictions.
3.5 Tax Consequences. The Seller has reviewed with the Seller’s own tax advisors the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller relies solely on such advisors and not on any statements or representations of Buyer or any of its agents for the federal, state, local and foreign tax consequences to the Seller that may result from the transaction contemplated by this Agreement. The Seller understands that the Seller (and not Buyer) shall be responsible for any tax liability that may arise as a result of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement.
