notice to the Offering Shareholder prior to the expiration of the Additional 30 Day Period that they elect
to purchase its Shares and setting forth a date and time for closing which shall be not later than ninety
(90) days after the expiration of the Additional 30 Day Period. Any purchase of Shares by all or some of
the Continuing Shareholders shall be made in such proportion as they might agree among themselves
or, in the absence of any such agreement, pro rata in proportion to their ownership of Shares of the
Company (excluding the Offering Shareholder's Shares) at the time of such offer, but in any event one or
more of the Continuing Shareholders must agree to purchase all of the Shares which the Offering
Shareholder proposes to sell. At the time of closing, the Offering Shareholder shall deliver to the
Continuing Shareholders who elect purchase all of the shares certificates representing the Shares to be
sold, together with stock powers duly endorsed in blank. Said Shares shall be delivered by the Offering
Shareholder free and clear of any and all liens and encumbrances. All transfer taxes and documentary
stamps shall be paid by the Offering Shareholder.

to purchase all of the Shares which the Offering Shareholder proposes to sell or fail to close on an
election to purchase all of the Shares which the Offering Shareholder proposes to sell, the Offering
Shareholder may accept the Offer which the Offering Shareholder mailed with its notice to the Company
and transfer all (but not less than all) of the Shares which he proposes to sell pursuant thereto on the

shares of Common Stock or any other equity security of the Company which is convertible into Common

security of the Company, unless in each case the Company shall have first offered to sell to each
Shareholder, pro rata in proportion to such Shareholder's then ownership of Shares of the Company,

elects to purchase (“Notice of Acceptance”). If any Shareholder shall subscribe for less than its pro rata
share of the Offered Securities to be sold, the other subscribing Shareholders shall be entitled to
purchase the balance of that Shareholder's pro rata share in the same proportion in which they were
entitled to purchase the Offered Securities in the first instance (excluding for such purposes such
Shareholder), provided any such other Shareholder elected by a Notice of Acceptance to purchase all of
its pro rata share of the Offered Securities. The Company shall notify each Shareholder within five days
following the expiration of the ten day period described above of the amount of Offered Securities
which each Shareholder may purchase pursuant to the foregoing sentence, and each Shareholder shall
then have ten days from the delivery of such notice to indicate such additional amount, if any, that such
Shareholder wishes to purchase.

Offered Securities, the Company shall have 120 days from the expiration of the foregoing ten day or 25
day period, whichever is applicable, to sell all or any part of such Offered Securities as to which a Notice
of Acceptance has not been given by the Shareholders (“Refused Securities”) to any other person or
persons, but only upon terms and conditions in all respects, including, without limitation, unit price and
interest rates, which are no more favorable, in the aggregate, to such other person or persons or less
favorable to the Company than those set forth in the Stock Offer. Upon the closing, which shall include
full payment to the Company, of the sale to such other person or persons of all the Refused Securities,
the Shareholders shall purchase from the Company, and the Company shall sell to the Shareholders the
Offered Securities in respect of which Notices of Acceptance were delivered to the Company by the
Shareholders, at the terms specified in the Stock Offer.

PayGoBilling API Version 4.11
First revision: 2009-12-07 – Last Revision 2016-01-15
Introduction
The PaygoBilling API interface allows Merchants to xxxx existing customers at any time, without
customer interaction.
At the time of the first (interactive) purchase by the customer, his PaygoBilling account is created
and an ID of that transaction is sent to the CP through during the callback process. That ID is then
used by the CP to subsequently xxxx the user through the API interface.
Requirements
The API interface must be enabled by PaygoBilling for each site the Merchant wishes to use the API
for. The IP address(es) of the machine(s) posting the requests must be individually configured by
PaygoBilling for each site.
The API interface is located at xxxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxx/xxx.xxx.
The customer must also have a credit card on file for his PaygoBilling account. Otherwise, an error
message will be generated by the API interface.
The parameters are sent with optional information such as – your own logo on the top left, your
own credit card descriptor.
You can see a sample of a site in action here;
xxxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx/xx_xxxx.xxx?
site_id=76&type=subscription&session=YOURSESSIONID&sub_option=1
This is a recurring charge sample which can be set in your own account for each site id. This site ID
sample is site: 76. You would also need to pass the session – named here “YOURSESSIONID.”
Here is a single purchase example:
xxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxx/xxxxxxxxxx/xx_xxxx.xxx?
site_id=76&charge_amount=50&type=purchase&order_description=Sample_Payment&sessio
n=sample
Notice the charge amount is 50 for $50, the session information is "sample" and order
description is Sample Payment. This amount and description and session can all be sent
dynamically.
26
EXHIBIT 10.12
You will need to make a Postback API and tell us where it is located and we can put it into our system
for testing. Or if you are using our testing bed link you can dynamically put it in the postback url field
for testing.
----------------------------
Automatic form filling
----------------------------
The following fields can be filled on the /order page. The field data can be sent through either
POST or GET.
email - Email address - this will be used to automatically create the account (described further below).
first_name - Customer's first name
last_name - Customer's last name
address - Full xxxxxx xxxxxxx
xxxx - Xxxx
xxxxx - Xxxxx. Can be either the two-letter code or full state name
country - Two-letter country xxxx (XXX 0000-0 xxxxx-0)
zip - Zip code
These will be automatically filled and can be edited by the customer.
Custom Integration Guide Overview
There are three different ways to integrate PayGoBilling with your site. Some sites may offer more
than one of these:
1) Time based subscriptions managed by PayGoBilling: your site offers paid access subscriptions, e.g.
$20 for 30 days of access; users are created and expired by PayGoBilling using a callback script
installed on your site. In order to perform this type of transaction.
This guide describes the following methods of PayGoBilling integration:
2) Self-managed time based subscriptions: your site offers paid access subscriptions that are
managed by your own back end infrastructure.
3) Tokens or other products: your site offers non-subscription products, for example tokens that can
be used to perform special actions on your site.
The integration steps are almost identical whether you are pursuing integration #2 or
integration #3:
A) Submit subscription/product information to PayGoBilling
B) Set up your callback scrip
C) Set up your member landing page
D) Install and test PayGoBilling badge on your site
27
EXHIBIT 10.12
Calling process
Following are the steps involved when a user purchases a subscription or product from a site that has
been integrated with PayGoBilling:
Your site PayGoBilling popup
Any page on your site
User launches PayGoBilling popup
1. PayGoBilling badge
session = <session information, e.g. user id, session id>
siteid = <your PayGoBilling site id>
optional: product_code = <specific product>
session code = <selected subscription or product code>
amount = <price of subscription or product>
description = <description of subscription or product> Your
callback script
<rsp stat="ok">
<message>...
</rsp>
2. User purchases a product or subscription
<rsp stat="fail">
<error>...
or
</rsp>
session
3. Member landing page - User leaves popup
A) Submit information to PayGoBilling
In order to enter your site(s) into our database, you need to submit the following information to
xxxx@XxxXxXxxxxxx.xxx:
1) Site URL
28
EXHIBIT 10.12
2) For each subscription or product offered on the site:
i) Name - e.g. $30 for 20 days; 700 tokens for $20
ii) Unique identifier - this should be your internal identifier for the subscription or product. Later on
your callback script will use this identifier so it can tell what the user has purchased and act
accordingly.
3) Callback script URL - this is a URL that PayGoBilling will invoke when the user purchases a product
on your site. This script will return an XML-formatted response code (see part B)
4) Member landing page URL - after the user has successfully completed a purchase they will click on
a “Go to members area” button that leads them to this URL (see part C).
After receiving this information PayGoBilling will issue you your PayGoBilling site id(s).
B) Set up your callback script
Before you begin building a callback script you need to define your session variable. This variable is
submitted from your page via the PayGoBilling badge to the PayGoBilling popup. PayGoBilling itself
does nothing with this information - it simply passes the variable back to your callback script and
later your member landing page.
After the user selects a subscription or product from your site and purchases it, your callback script is
invoked. Here are the parameters that PayGoBilling passes to it: session - the session variable
initially passed from your badge into the PayGoBilling popup code - your code that corresponds to the
subscription or product that has been purchased amount - the value in dollars of the subscription or
product that has been purchased description - a description of the subscription or product that has
been purchased. Your callback script should perform whatever processing is necessary to update the
customer’s account information to reflect this purchase. For security reasons the script should only
be accessible from PayGoBilling’s server's ip – ping xxxxx://xxxxxx.xxxxxxxxxxxx.xxx
The script should return one of two different responses to PayGoBilling. You should increment the
“version” attribute that is returned by your script whenever you make a change to the script, so if an
error occurs we know exactly which version of your script is in place (this is useful if the script is
deployed on multiple sites).
Success response:
<rsp stat="ok" version="1.0">
<message id="100">Purchase successfully processed</message>
<receipt>324342323</receipt>
</rsp>
Receipt is an optional value that is specific to this transaction, e.g. an order number. It can be used in
the members URL that the popup redirects the user to after the transaction has been completed, and
is stored in the PayGoBilling transaction history.

EXHIBIT 10.12
Failure response:
<rsp stat="fail" version="1.0">
<error id="102">Invalid session variable: 'XYZZY'</error>
</rsp>
Possible errors:
101 - Request from unauthorized IP xxx.yyy.zzz
102 - Invalid session variable: ‘XYZZY’
103 - Invalid product code: ‘2343’
104 - Unable to process purchase: <internal error message>
There may be more errors that are specific to your site - feel free to add them.
NOTE: In your callback script you should also implement support for a test session value. If the
incoming request’s session is set to this value your script should automatically return a success
result without actually performing any processing. This is for the purposes of PayGoBilling’s
automated test scripts, which report any malfunctioning PayGoBilling partner sites.
Please contact xxxx@XxxXxXxxxxxx.xxx with your test session value.
Please contact xxxx@XxxXxXxxxxxx.xxx if you have any questions about implementing your callback
script.
C) Set up your member landing page
This is simply a page that displays an acknowledgment of the user’s purchase. Some different forms
this page may take:
• The user’s account summary that reflects the new purchase
• A thank you page that displays offers or further information about how to use the new
subscription or product
• An order page that they can buy more products from
• Some combination of the above
The member landing page is passed the following information:
session - the session variable initially passed from your badge into the PayGoBilling popup receipt
- the optional order-specific value returned by your callback script
These values can be included in your member page’s query string by using $session and
$receipt. For example:
xxxx://xxx.xxxxxxxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxx.xxx?xxxxxxxxxxxxx&xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

D) Install and test PayGoBilling badge
The final step is to install the PayGoBilling badge code on your join page, or wherever else on
your site you wish to allow users to purchase products.
There are two different ways to invoke the PayGoBilling popup:
a) Let the user select the subscription or product they want within the popup. This is the best
option if your site has 5 or less products.
b) Provide a product code to the badge. This could be selected by the user elsewhere on the
page or site, then passed into the badge code via php, javascript, etc.
c) Charge a total order amount with no specific product identified. Typically this is used when
a site supports shopping cart like purchases that can include more than one product.
a) Let the user select the subscription or product in the PayGoBilling popup

Other. As used in this Agreement, the word "including" is a term of enlargement meaning
"including without limitation" and does not denote exclusivity, and the words "will," "shall," and
"must" are deemed to be equivalent and denote a mandatory obligation or prohibition, as
applicable. All definitions apply both to their singular and plural forms, as the context may
require. Executed counterparts of this Agreement will each be deemed originals, whether
exchanged via mail, facsimile, or electronically. The Agreement may be signed in two
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, with the same force and effectiveness
as though executed in a single document. Any rights not expressly granted in this Agreement
are reserved by Company or MPAY, as applicable, and all implied licenses are disclaimed.
Each party acknowledges that it has had the opportunity to review this Agreement with legal
counsel of its choice, and there will be no presumption that ambiguities will be construed or
interpreted against the drafter, and no presumptions made or inferences drawn because of the

draft.
