WHEREAS, the Subscriber desires to purchase that number of Units set forth set forth opposite such Subscriber’s name on such signature page hereto on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual representations and covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto do hereby agree as follows:
| 1 |
| I. | SUBSCRIPTION FOR SECURITIES; COVENANTS OF THE COMPANY |
1.1 Subscription for Securities. Subject to the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth and in the Confidential Offering Memorandum dated April 23, 2013 (such memorandum, together with all amendments thereof and supplements and exhibits thereto, the “Memorandum”), the Subscriber hereby irrevocably subscribes for and agrees to purchase from the Company, and the Company agrees to sell to the Subscriber, such number of Units as is set forth on the signature page hereof. The purchase price is payable by wire transfer to the Company, in accordance with the wire instructions set forth on Exhibit B attached hereto, and Risks of the Offering are attached herto as Exhibit C.
1.2 Offering Period. The Shares will be offered for sale until the earlier of (i) the date upon which subscriptions for the Maximum Offering offered hereunder have been accepted, (ii) June 30, 2013 (subject to the right of the Company to extend the offering for up to an additional 90 days without further notice to investors), or (iii) the date upon which the Company elects to terminate the Offering (the “Termination Date”). The Offering is being conducted on a “best-efforts” basis.
1.3 Closing. The Company may hold an initial closing (“Initial Closing”) at any time after the receipt of accepted subscriptions from qualified investors prior to the Termination Date. After the Initial Closing, subsequent closings with respect to additional Securities may take place at any time prior to the Termination Date as determined by the Company, with respect to subscriptions accepted prior to the Termination Date (each such closing, together with the Initial Closing, being referred to as a “Closing”). The last Closing of the Offering, occurring on or prior to the Termination Date, shall be referred to as the “Final Closing”. Any subscription documents or funds received after the Final Closing will be returned, without interest or deduction. In the event that the any Closing does not occur prior to the Termination Date, all amounts paid by the Subscriber shall be returned to the Subscriber, without interest or deduction.
1.4 Subsequent Equity Sales. If at any time during the 6 month period following the first closing of this Offering the Company sells or issues any Common Stock entitling any person to acquire shares of Common Stock at an effective price per share that is lower than $0.16 (such lower price, the “Base Share Price” and such issuances, collectively, a “Dilutive Issuance”), then the Company shall issue to each Subscriber such number of additional shares of Common Stock equal to the difference between (i) the number of Shares held by the Subscriber on the date of the Dilutive Issuance multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is $0.16 and the denominator of which is the Base Share Price, and (ii) the number of Shares held by the Subscriber on the date of the Dilutive Issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no adjustment will be made under this Section 1.4 in respect of an Exempt Issuance. “Exempt Issuance” means the issuance of (a) securities of the Company issued pursuant any Approved Stock Plan, (b) securities upon the exercise of or conversion of any securities issued hereunder and/or other securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement, provided that such securities have not been amended since the date of this Agreement to increase the number of such securities or to decrease the exercise or conversion price of any such securities, (c) securities issued pursuant to acquisitions or strategic transactions, provided that any such issuance shall only be to a person which is, itself or through its subsidiaries, an operating company in a business synergistic with the business of the Company and shall provide to the Company additional benefits in addition to the investment of funds, but shall not include a transaction in which the Company is issuing securities primarily for the purpose of raising capital or to an entity whose primary business is investing in securities and (d) securities issued in connection with any bona fide commercial loan or debt transaction with third persons, provided that the primary purpose of such transaction is not to raise equity capital and is approved by the Company’s Board of Directors in good faith. “Approved Stock Plan" means any employee benefit plan which has been approved by the Board of Directors of the Company, pursuant to which the Company's securities may be issued to any employee, consultant, officer or director for services provided to the Company.

1.5 Stockholder Approval. The Company shall use its best efforts to file a proxy or information statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission as soon as practicable and use its best efforts to obtain such approvals of the Company’s stockholders as may be required to increase the total number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock from 200,000,000 to 300,000,000 and issue all of the shares of Common Stock and the Warrant Shares (as defined below) in accordance with Nevada law and any applicable rules or regulations of any national securities exchange and/or over-the-counter trading platform on which the Company’s Common Stock is traded and/or quoted.
| II. | REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE SUBSCRIBER |
The Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company, with the intent that the Company will rely thereon, that:
2.1 Accredited Investor or Non-U.S. Person The Subscriber is either (i) an “accredited investor” as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act, it is able to bear the economic risk of any investment in the Securities and the information furnished in the accompanying investor questionnaire, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A-1, is accurate and complete in all material respects or (ii) it is not a U.S. Person (a “Reg S Person”), and the representations contained in the information furnished in the accompanying investor questionnaire, which is attached hereto as Exhibit A-2, is accurate and complete in all material respects.
2.2 Reliance on Exemptions. The Subscriber acknowledges that the Offering has not been reviewed by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) or any state agency because it is intended to be an offering exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and state securities laws. The Subscriber understands that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Subscriber’s compliance with the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Subscriber set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Subscriber to acquire the Securities.
2.3 Investment Purpose. The Subscriber is purchasing the Securities as principal for its own account, and, in the case of a Non-U.S. Person, not for the account or benefit of, directly or indirectly, any U.S. Person. The Subscriber is purchasing the Securities for investment purposes only and not with an intent or view towards further sale or distribution (as such term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act) thereof, and has not pre-arranged any sale with any other purchaser and has no plans to enter into any such agreement or arrangement. If the Subscriber is a Non-U.S. Person, such Subscriber has no intention to distribute either directly or indirectly any of the Units in the United States or to U.S. Persons.
2.4 Risk of Investment. The Subscriber recognizes that the purchase of the Securities involves a high degree of risk in that: (a) an investment in the Company is highly speculative and only investors who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Securities; (b) transferability of the Securities is limited; and (c) the Company may require substantial additional funds to operate its business and subsequent equity financings will dilute the ownership and voting interests of Subscriber.
2.5 No Registration. The Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be transferred, sold, assigned, hypothecated or otherwise disposed of unless registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration is available (including, without limitation, under Rule 144 of the Securities Act, as such rule may be amended, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission having substantially the same effect (“Rule 144”)). The Subscriber represents and warrants and hereby agrees that all offers and sales of the Units shall be made only pursuant to such registration or to such exemption from registration.
| 3 |
2.6 Prior Investment Experience. The Subscriber is sufficiently experienced in financial and business matters to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of its investments, and to make an informed decision relating thereto, and to protect its own interests in connection with the purchase of the Shares.
2.7 Information. The Subscriber acknowledges careful review of this Agreement, the Memorandum, including the Warrant and all other exhibits thereto (collectively, the “Offering Documents”) as well as the Company’s filings with the Commission, as required pursuant to the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) which are available on the Internet at xxx.xxx.xxx, all of which the undersigned acknowledges have been provided to the undersigned.

The undersigned has received no representations or warranties from the Company, its employees, agents or attorneys in making this investment decision other than as set forth in the Offering Documents. The undersigned does not desire to receive any further information.
2.8 Investment Decision. In making the decision to invest in the Securities the Subscriber has relied solely upon the information provided by the Company in the Offering Materials. To the extent necessary, the Subscriber has retained, at its own expense, and relied upon appropriate professional advice regarding the investment, tax and legal merits and consequences of this Agreement and the purchase of the Securities hereunder. The Subscriber disclaims reliance on any statements made or information provided by any person or entity in the course of Subscriber’s consideration of an investment in the Securities other than the Offering Materials.
2.9 No Representations. The Subscriber hereby represents that, except as expressly set forth in the Offering Documents, no representations or warranties have been made to the Subscriber by the Company or any agent, employee or affiliate of the Company, and in entering into this transaction the Subscriber is not relying on any information other than that contained in the Offering Documents and the results of independent investigation by the Subscriber.

The Subscriber acknowledges that it must retain its own professional advisors to evaluate the tax and other consequences of an investment in the Securities.
2.11 No Recommendation or Endorsement. The Subscriber understands that no federal, state or other regulatory authority has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Units. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy of this Agreement or the Memorandum. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

2.12 No General Solicitation. The Subscriber represents that the Subscriber was not induced to invest by any form of general solicitation or general advertising including, but not limited to, the following: (a) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine or similar media or broadcast over the news or radio; and (b) any seminar or meeting whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or advertising.
2.13 No Directed Selling Efforts. If the Subscriber is a non-U.S. Person, the Subscriber has not acquired the Units as a result of, and will not itself engage in, any “directed selling efforts” (as defined in Regulation S under the Securities Act) in the United States in respect of the Units which would include any activities undertaken for the purpose of, or that could reasonably be expected to have the effect of, conditioning the market in the United States for the resale of the Units; provided, however, that the Subscriber may sell or otherwise dispose of the Units pursuant to registration thereof under the Securities Act and any applicable state and provincial securities laws or under an exemption from such registration requirements;
2.14 No Plan or Scheme. If the Subscriber is a non-U.S. Person, the Subscriber acknowledges that the statutory and regulatory basis for the exemption from U.S registration requirements claimed for the offer of the Units, although in technical compliance with Regulation S, would not be available if the offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade the registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or provincial securities laws;

EXHIBIT A-2 - REGULATION S PAGE FOR NON-U.S. SUBSCRIBERS
The undersigned Subscriber (a “Reg S Person”) is not a U.S. Person as defined in Section 902 of Regulation S promulgated under the Securities Act, and hereby represents that the representations in paragraphs (1) through (9) are true and correct with respect to such Reg S Person.
(1) Such Reg S Person acknowledges and warrants that (i) the issuance and sale to such Reg S Person of the Securities is intended to be exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S; (ii) it is not a “U.S. Person,” as such term is defined in Regulation S and herein, and is not acquiring the Securities for the account or benefit of any U.S. Person; and (iii) the offer and sale of the Securities has not taken place, and is not taking place, within the United States of America or its territories or possessions. Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the offer and sale of the Securities has taken place, and is taking place in an “offshore transaction,” as such term is defined in Regulation S.
(2) Such Reg S Person acknowledges and agrees that, pursuant to the provisions of Regulation S, the Securities cannot be sold, assigned, transferred, conveyed, pledged or otherwise disposed of to any U.S. Person or within the United States of America or its territories or possessions for a period of six months from and after the Closing Date, unless such Securities are registered for sale in the United States pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration is available.

(5) Such Reg S Person is not an Affiliate of the Company nor is any Affiliate of such Reg S Person an Affiliate of the Company. An “Affiliate” is an individual or corporation, partnership, trust, incorporated or unincorporated association, joint venture, limited liability company, joint stock company, government (or an agency or subdivision thereof) or other entity of any kind (each of the foregoing, a “Person”) that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a Person as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 405 under the Securities Act. With respect to a Reg S Person, any investment fund or managed account that is managed on a discretionary basis by the same investment manager as such Reg S Person will be deemed to be an Affiliate of such Reg S Person.
(6) Such Reg S Person understands that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or the securities laws of any state and are subject to substantial restrictions on resale or transfer. The Securities are “restricted securities” within the meaning of Regulation S and Rule 144, promulgated under the Securities Act.

(7) Such Reg S Person acknowledges that the Securities may only be sold offshore in compliance with Regulation S or pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or another exemption from such registration, if available. In connection with any resale of the Securities pursuant to Regulation S, the Company will not register a transfer not made in accordance with Regulation S, pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or in accordance with another exemption from the Securities Act.
(8) Such Reg S Person represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with the offering of the Securities, including: (a) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Securities; (b) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase; (c) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained; and (d) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Securities. Such Reg S person’s subscription and payment for, and its continued beneficial ownership of the Securities, will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of the jurisdiction of its residence.

EXHIBIT B - WIRE INSTRUCTIONS
| 16 |
EXHIBIT C- RISK FACTORS
There will be restrictions on resale of the Securities, including any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants, and there is no assurance of the registration of the Securities, including any Warrant Shares issued upon exercise of the Warrants. Neither the Securities, nor the Warrant Shares when issued in accordance with the Warrants, may be sold unless, at the time of such intended sale, there is a current registration statement covering the resale of the Securities or there exists an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and such Securities have been registered, qualified, or deemed to be exempt under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws in the state of residence of the seller or in the state where sales are being effected. Investors in this Offering have certain registration rights relating to the Common Stock issued as part of the Warrants and the Warrant Shares. There can be no assurance that any registration statement required to be filed in accordance with the terms of this Offering will become effective or if it becomes effective that it will remain so. If no registration statement is filed and declared effective covering the resale of any of the Common Stock or the Warrant Shares, subscribers will be precluded from disposing of such securities unless such securities may become eligible to be disposed of under the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act without restriction. If the Securities sold pursuant to this Offering are not registered for resale under the Securities Act, or exempt therefrom, and registered or qualified under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws, or deemed exempt therefrom, the value of such Securities will be greatly reduced.
The offering price for the Units has been determined by the Company. The offering price of the Units was arbitrarily determined by us. The price of the Units does not necessarily bear any relationship to established valuation criteria such as earnings, book value or assets. Rather, the price of the Units was derived as a result of our negotiations with the investors or the Placement Agents based upon various factors including prevailing market conditions, our future prospects and our capital structure. These prices do not necessarily accurately reflect the actual value of the Units or the price that may be realized upon disposition of the Common Stock or the Warrant Shares.
We have significant discretion over the net proceeds. The maximum gross proceeds to us from the sale of the Units will up to a maximum of $5,100,000. A significant portion of the net proceeds of this Offering will be applied to manufacturing, distribution, marketing and advertising as well as working capital and other general corporate purposes. Accordingly, our management will have broad discretion as to the application of such proceeds. The proceeds shall be used to carry out the business plan of the Company, pay salaries to its employees, and satisfy all expenses of the Company, foreseeable and unforeseeable. As is the case with any business, particularly one without a proven business model, it should be expected that certain expenses unforeseeable to management at this juncture, will arise in the future. There can be no assurance that management’s use of proceeds generated through this Offering will prove optimal or translate into revenue or profitability for the Company. Investors are urged to consult with their attorneys, accountants and personal investment advisors prior to making any decision to invest in the Company.
An investment in the Units is speculative and there can be no assurance of any return on any such investment. An investment in the Units is speculative and there is no assurance that investors will obtain any return on their investment. Investors will be subject to substantial risks involved in an investment in the Company, including the risk of losing their entire investment.
The Units will be offered by us on a “best efforts basis,” and we may not raise the Maximum Offering. We are offering the Units on a “best efforts” basis. In a “best efforts” offering such as the one described in this Memorandum, there is no assurance that we will sell either the Maximum Offering. Accordingly, we may close upon amounts less than the Maximum Offering, which may not provide us with sufficient funds to fully implement our business plan.
