RECITALS
WHEREAS,
the Company and the Investors are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon an exemption from securities
registration pursuant to Section 4(2) and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D (“Regulation
D”) as promulgated by the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities

WHEREAS,
the Company desires to authorize, issue and sell shares of its Series H Convertible Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value per
share (the “Series H Stock”) and
Warrants (the “Warrants”) to the
Investors, and the Investors desire to purchase shares of the Series H Stock and Warrants, all on the terms and subject to the

WHEREAS,
on March 13, 2013, the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger”) with Brazil Interactive
Media, Inc. (“BIMI”) whereby the Company acquired all of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of BIMI,
pursuant to the terms and conditions of that agreement. As a result of the Merger, the Company is, as of the date of this Agreement,
taking steps to change its name to “Brazil Interactive Media, Inc.”; and
NOW,
THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein,
and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto,
intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1.
Authorization of Securities. The Company has authorized the number of shares of Series H Stock as provided herein,
which shall be entitled to the rights, privileges and preferences set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation as
modified by the Certificate of Designation (Exhibit C) for the Series H Stock that has been filed by the Company with the
Delaware Secretary of State on or before the Closing. As used in this Agreement, the term “Preferred
Stock” shall mean the shares of Series H Stock issued and outstanding immediately after the closing described
in Section 3 hereof and all shares of Series H Stock issued in exchange or substitution therefor. The Series H Stock shall
be convertible into shares of the Common Stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common
Stock”), as set forth in the Articles of Incorporation. As soon as practicable after Closing, the Company
shall authorize and reserve a sufficient number of its previously authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to satisfy the
rights of conversion and purchase of the holders of the Series H Stock. Any shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Series H Stock, when issued, shall be referred to as “Conversion
Shares”.
2. Sale
and Purchase of Shares of the Series H Stock. Subject to the terms and conditions herein, the Company agrees to
sell to the Investors, and each of the Investors severally agrees to purchase from the Company on the date hereof in accordance
with this Agreement, the number of shares of Series H Stock
set forth opposite such Investor’s
name on Exhibit A at a purchase price of One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) per share (the “Purchase
Commitment”). The Company’s agreement with each Investor is a separate agreement, and the sale of the Series
H Stock to each Investor is a separate sale. The Company agrees to accept the Note delivered by Dutchess Opportunity Fund II LP
as a portion of the total purchase price for that Investor’s Purchase Commitment.
| 2.1. | Warrant.
As an inducement
to purchase the Series
H Stock, the Investor
is entitled to receive
a Warrant (Exhibit
D) which provides
the Investor with the
right to purchase additional
shares of the Common
Stock.
The Company shall authorize
and reserve a sufficient
number of its previously
authorized but unissued
shares of Common Stock
to satisfy the rights
of exercise and purchase
of the holders of the
Warrant. |
3. The Closing. The
closing of the sale of the Series H Stock shall take place at 10:00 a.m. local time at the offices of the Company on March 21,
2013, or at such other place or different time or day as may be mutually acceptable to the Investors and the Company (the “Closing”).
The date and time on which the Closing occurs shall be referred to as the “Closing
Date”. On the Closing Date, the Company shall deliver to each of the Investors purchasing shares of the Series
H Stock on such date a stock certificate for the number of shares of Series H Stock being acquired by such Investor, which shares
shall be registered in the Investor’s name or as otherwise designated by the Investor. At the Closing, each Investor shall
pay to the Company the purchase price for the Purchase Commitment set forth on Exhibit A by wire transfer of immediately
available funds or bank or cashier’s check payable to the Company.
4.
Representations and Warranties by the Company. As a material inducement to each of the Investors to enter into
this Agreement and to purchase the number of shares of the Series H Stock set forth after such Investor’s name on Schedule
I, with the understanding that each Investor will be relying thereon in consummating the transactions contemplated hereunder,
the Company hereby represents and warrants to each Investor that, except as set forth (i) in the Disclosure Schedule attached
hereto and prepared and delivered by the Company to the Investors on the date hereof (the “Disclosure
Schedule”), or (ii) the SEC Documents (as defined herein), the statements contained in this Section 4 are

4:
| 4.1. | Organization,
Qualification and Power.
The Company is a corporation
duly organized, validly
existing and in good
standing under the laws
of its jurisdiction
of incorporation, and
has all requisite corporate
power and authority,
and all governmental
licenses, governmental
authorizations, governmental
consents and governmental
approvals, required
to carry on its business
as now conducted and
to own, lease and operate
the assets and properties
of the Company as now
owned, leased and operated.
The Company is duly
qualified or licensed
to do business as a
foreign corporation
and is in good standing
in every jurisdiction
in which the character
or location of its properties
and assets owned, leased
or operated by the Company
or the nature of the
business conducted by
the Company requires
such qualification or
licensing, except where
the failure to be so
qualified, licensed
or in good standing
in such other jurisdiction
could not, individually
or in the aggregate,
have a Material Adverse
Effect (as defined herein)
on the Company. The
Company has heretofore
delivered to the Investors
complete and accurate
copies of its Articles
of Incorporation and
Bylaws, as currently
in effect. The Company
has previously delivered
to the Investors a complete
and accurate list of
all jurisdictions in

the transactions contemplated
thereby. The affirmative
vote of holders of at
least a majority of
the outstanding shares
of the Company’s
(a) Common Stock,
voting as separate classes,
were the only votes
of the holders of any
class or series of the
Company’s capital
stock necessary to approve
and adopt the Transaction
Documents and to consummate
the transaction contemplated
thereby. The Transaction
Documents have been
duly and validly executed
and delivered by the
Company and constitute
the legal, valid and

of the Company, enforceable
against it in accordance
with their respective
terms, subject to laws
of general application
relating to bankruptcy,

relief or other equitable
remedies. |

the Capital Stock are
duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid,
non-assessable and,
except for the Series

rights. There are no
outstanding obligations
of the Company to repurchase,
redeem or otherwise
acquire any of its securities.

to which the Company
is a party or by which
it is bound relating
to the voting or registration
of any shares of Capital
Stock. As of the date
hereof, (i) there are
no outstanding options,
warrants, scrip, rights
to subscribe to, calls
or commitments of any
character whatsoever
relating to, or securities
or rights convertible
into, any shares of
capital stock of the
Company or any of its
subsidiaries, or contracts,
commitments, understandings
or arrangements by which
the Company or any of
its subsidiaries is
or may become bound
to issue additional
shares of capital stock
of the Company or any
of its subsidiaries
or options, warrants,
scrip, rights to subscribe
to, calls or commitments
of any character whatsoever
relating to, or securities
or rights convertible
into, any shares of
capital stock of the
Company or any of its
subsidiaries, (ii) there

delivery and performance
by the Company of the
Transaction Documents
nor the consummation
of the transactions
contemplated therein
will (i) contravene
or conflict with the
charter documents of
the Company, (ii) contravene
or conflict with or
constitute a violation
of any provision of
any Applicable Law (as

Except as specifically

5. Representations
of the Investors. Each of the Investors severally represents to the Company for such Investor that:
| 5.1. | Investment
Intent.
The shares of the Series
H Stock and the Conversion
Shares into which such
shares may be converted
that are being acquired
by the Investor are
being purchased for
investment for the Investor’s
own account and not
with the view to, or
for resale in connection
with, any distribution
or public offering thereof.
The Investor has no
present plan or intention
to engage in a sale,
exchange, transfer,
distribution, redemption,
reduction in any way
of the Investor’s
risk of ownership by
short sale or otherwise,
or other disposition,
directly or indirectly
of the Series H Stock
being acquired by the
Investor pursuant to
the Transaction Documents
or the Conversion Shares
into which such shares
may be converted. The
Investor is able to
bear the economic risk
of its investment and
has the knowledge and
experience in financial
and business matters
that it is capable of
evaluating the merits
and risks (including
tax considerations)
of its investment, including
the high degree of risk
of loss of the Investor’s
entire investment herein. |
| 5.2. | Restrictions
on Resale, Rule 144.
The Investor understands
that the shares of the
Series H Stock have
not been registered
under the Securities
Act or any state securities
laws by reason of their
contemplated issuance
in transactions exempt
from the registration
requirements of the
Securities Act pursuant
to Section 4(2) thereof
or Rule 504, 505 or
506 promulgated under
the Securities Act and
applicable state securities
laws, and that the reliance
of the Company and others
upon these exemptions
is predicated in part
upon this representation
by the Investor. The
Investor further understands
that the Series H Stock
may not be transferred
or resold without (i) registration
under the Securities
Act and any applicable
state securities laws,
or (ii) an exemption
from the requirements
of the Securities Act
and applicable state
securities laws. The
Investor also understands
that the Conversion
Shares will be issued
without prior registration
thereof under the Securities
Act or applicable state
securities laws in reliance
upon Section 4(2) of
the Securities Act and
transactional exemptions
from registration under
applicable state securities
laws based upon appropriate
representations of the
Investor. As such, the
Conversion Shares will
be subject to transfer
restrictions similar
to restrictions applicable
to the Series H Stock.
The Investor understands
that (i) an exemption
from such registration
is not presently available
pursuant to Rule 144
promulgated under the
Securities Act by the
Commission, (ii) the
Company has made no
commitment to become
eligible for Rule 144,
and (iii) in any
event the Investor may
not sell any securities
acquired hereunder pursuant
to Rule 144 prior to
the expiration of a
one-year period (or
such other period as
the Commission may hereafter
adopt) after the Investor
has acquired such securities.
The Investor understands
that any sales pursuant
to Rule 144 can be made
only in full compliance
with the provisions
of Rule 144. |
he, she or it qualifies as an
“accredited investor” for purposes of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act. The Investor (i) is an investor
in securities of companies in the development stage and acknowledges that it is able to fend for itself, and bear the loss of its
entire investment in the Series H Stock, and (ii) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that it is
capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the investment to be made by it pursuant to this Agreement. If other than an individual,
the Investor also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Series H Stock or the Conversion
Shares.
| 5.4. | Acts
and Proceedings.
The Investor has full
power and authority
to enter into and perform
under the Transaction
Documents in accordance
with their respective
terms. The Transaction
Documents have been
duly authorized by all
necessary action on
the part of the Investor,
has been duly executed
and delivered by the
Investor, and is a valid
and binding agreement
of the Investor and
enforceable against
the Investor in accordance
with their terms, except
as enforceability may
be limited by bankruptcy,
insolvency, moratorium,
reorganization or other
similar laws affecting
the enforcement of creditors’
rights generally and
to judicial limitations
on the remedy of specific
enforcement and other
equitable remedies. |
| 5.5. | Exculpation
Among Investors.
The Investor acknowledges
that in making the decision
to invest in the Company,
the Investor is not
relying on any other
Investor or upon any
person, firm or company,
other than the Company
and its officers, employees
and/or directors. The
Investor agrees that
none of any of the other
Investors, nor their
partners, employees,
officers or controlling
persons, shall be liable
for any actions taken
by the Investor, or
omitted to be taken
by the Investor, in
connection with such
investment. |
| 5.6. | Disclosure
of Information.
The Investor represents
that the Company has
made available to the
Investor at a reasonable
time prior to the execution
of the Transaction Documents
the opportunity to ask
questions and receive
answers from the Company’s
management concerning
the Company’s
business, management
and financial affairs,
the terms and conditions
of the offering of the
Series H Stock and to
obtain any additional
information (that the
Company possesses or
can acquire without
unreasonable effort
or expense) as may be
necessary to verify
the accuracy of information
furnished to such Investor.
Investor further represents
that it, except as otherwise
provided by law, is
entering into the Transaction
Documents and is acquiring
the Series H Stock without
any representation or
warranty, express or
implied, by the Company
or any of its officers,
directors, employees
or affiliated, except
as expressly set forth
in this Agreement. The
foregoing, however,
does not limit or modify
the representations
and warranties of the
Company in the Transaction
Documents or the right
of the Investors to
rely thereon. |
| 5.7. | Legend;
Stop Transfer.
The Series H Stock,
and any Conversion Shares
issued upon conversion
thereof, shall bear
a legend substantially
similar to the following: |
THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER EITHER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933,
AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”),
OR APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS, AND ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN INVESTMENT REPRESENTATIONS. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR
SALE OR TRANSFERRED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION UNDER THE ACT AND SUCH APPLICABLE BLUE SKY LAWS, OR AN OPINION
OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
The Company shall make a notation
regarding the restrictions on transfer of the Series H Stock and any such Conversion Shares in its books and the Series H Stock
and any such Conversion Shares shall be transferred on the books of the Company only if transferred or sold pursuant to an effective
registration statement under the Securities Act covering the securities to be transferred or an opinion of counsel satisfactory
to the Company that such registration is not required.
Any legend endorsed on a certificate
pursuant to this Section 5.7 shall be removed, and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder
of such security, if such security is being disposed of pursuant to a registration under the Securities Act or pursuant to Rule
144 or any similar rule then in effect or if such holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company
to the effect that a transfer of such securities may be made without registration. In addition, if the holder of such securities
delivers to the Company an opinion of such counsel to the effect that no subsequent transfer of such securities will require registration
under the Securities Act, the Company will promptly upon such contemplated transfer deliver new certificates evidencing such security
that do not bear the legend set forth in this Section 5.7.
| 5.8. | No
Brokers or Finders.
No person, firm or corporation
has or will have, as
a result of any contractual
undertaking by the Investor,
any right, interest
or valid claim against
the Investor or the
Company for any commission,
fee or other compensation
as a finder or broker,
or in any similar capacity,
in connection with the
transactions contemplated
by the Transaction Documents.
Each responsible Investor
will indemnify and hold
the Company harmless
against any and all
liability with respect
to any such commission,
fee or other compensation
which may be payable
or determined to be
payable. |
| 5.9. | No
Governmental Review.
Each
Investor understands
that no United States
federal or state agency
or any other government
or governmental agency
has passed on or made
any recommendation or
endorsement of the Preferred
Stock or the Conversion
Shares, or the fairness
or suitability of the
investment in the Preferred
Stock or the Conversion
Shares, nor have such
authorities passed upon
or endorsed the merits
of the offering of the
Preferred Stock or the
Conversion Shares. |
| 5.10. | Receipt
of Documents.
Each
Investor and his or
its counsel has received
and read in their entirety:
(i) the Transaction
Documents and each
representation, warranty
and covenant set forth
therein; (ii) all due
diligence and other
information necessary
to verify the accuracy
and completeness of
such representations,
warranties and covenants;
(iii) the Company’s
Form 10-K for the |
fiscal year ended June 30, 2012
(iv) the Company’s Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2012; and (v) answers to all questions each Investor
submitted to the Company regarding an investment in the Company and each Investor has relied on the information contained therein
and has not been furnished any other documents, literature, memorandum or prospectus.
| 5.11. | Due
Formation of Corporate
and Other Investors.
If
the Investors are a
corporation, trust,
partnership or other
entity that is not
an individual person,
it has been formed
and validly exists
and has not been organized
for the specific purpose
of purchasing the Preferred
Stock and is not prohibited
from doing so. |
| 5.12. | No
Legal Advice From the
Company.
Each Investor acknowledges,
that it had the opportunity
to review the Transaction
Documents and the transactions
contemplated thereby
with his or its own
legal counsel and investment
and tax advisors. Each
Investor is relying
solely on such counsel
and advisors and not
on any statements or
representations of
the Company, its subsidiaries,
Affiliates or any of
their respective representatives
or agents for legal,
tax or investment advice
with respect to this
investment, the transactions
contemplated by the
Transaction Documents
or the securities laws
of any jurisdiction.
|
6.
Covenants.
| 6.1. | Best
Efforts.
Each party shall use
its best efforts to
timely satisfy each
of the conditions to
be satisfied by it as
provided in Sections
8 and 9 hereof. |
| 6.2. | Reporting
Status.
Until the earlier of
(i) the date as of which
the Investors may sell
all of the Conversion
Shares without restriction
pursuant to Rule 144(k)
promulgated under the
Securities Act (or successor
thereto), or (ii) the
date on which (A) the
Investors shall have
sold all the Conversion

reports required to
be filed with the Commission
pursuant to the Exchange
Act and the regulations
of the Commission thereunder,

more fully described
in that Preferred Stock
Registration Rights
Agreement between the
Company and the Investors,
a copy of which is attached
hereto as Exhibit
E, the Company shall

within forty-five (45)
days following Closing

sold or may be sold
without volume restrictions
pursuant to Rule 144(k)
as determined by the
counsel to the Company
pursuant to a written
opinion letter to such

The Company shall take
all action reasonably
necessary to at all
times have authorized,
and reserved for the
purpose of issuance,
such number of shares
of Common Stock as shall
be necessary to effect
the issuance of the
Conversion Shares. If
at any time the Company
does not have available
such shares of Common
Stock as shall from
time-to-time be sufficient
to effect the conversion
of all of the Conversion
Shares, then the Company
and its management shall,
upon the written request
of the Investors, do
the following: (i) call
and hold a special meeting
of the shareholders
within thirty (30) days
of such occurrence for
the sole purpose of
increasing the number

of Common Stock authorized,
and (iii) vote all of
their shares in favor
of increasing the number

or Quotation.
If
not already done prior

secure the listing or
quotation of the Conversion
Shares upon each national
securities exchange,
automated quotation
system or The Financial
Industry Regulatory
Authority’s Over-The-Counter
Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”)
or other market, if
any, upon which shares
of Common Stock are
then listed or quoted.
The Company shall use
its best efforts to
maintain, so long as
any other shares of
Common Stock shall be
so listed, such listing
of all Conversion Shares
from time-to-time issuable
under the terms of this
Agreement. The Company
shall maintain the Common
Stock’s authorization
for quotation on the
OTCBB. |
| 6.6. | Fees
and Expenses.
The
Company shall pay all
costs and expenses incurred
by such party in connection

Company shall pay all
expenses associated
with the issuance, delivery
and deposit of the Conversion
Shares, including the
deposit of such shares
on behalf of the Investor. |
| 6.7. | Corporate
Existence.
So long as any of the
Preferred Stock remains
outstanding, the Company
shall not directly or
indirectly consummate
any merger, reorganization,
restructuring, reverse
stock split consolidation,
sale of all or substantially
all of the Company’s
assets or any similar
transaction or related
transactions (each such
transaction, an “Organizational
Change”)
unless, prior to the
consummation of an Organizational
Change, the Company
obtains the written
consent of each Investor.
In any such case, the
Company will make appropriate
provision with respect
to such holders’
rights and interests
to insure that the provisions
of this Section 6.7
will thereafter
be applicable to the
Preferred Stock. |
| 6.8. | Transactions
With Affiliates.
So
long as any Preferred
Stock is outstanding,
the Company shall not,
and shall cause each
of its subsidiaries
not to, enter into,

or permit any subsidiary
to enter into, amend,
|
modify or supplement any agreement,
transaction, commitment, or arrangement with any of its or any subsidiary’s officers, directors, person who were officers
or directors at any time during the previous two (2) years, stockholders who beneficially own five percent (5%) or more of the
Common Stock, or Affiliates, or with any individual related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any such individual or with any
entity in which any such entity or individual owns a five percent (5%) or more beneficial interest (each a “Related
Party”), except for (i) customary employment arrangements and benefit programs on reasonable terms, (ii)
any investment in an Affiliate of the Company, (iii) any agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement on an arms-length
basis on terms no less favorable than terms which would have been obtainable from a person other than such Related Party, (iv)
any agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement which is approved by a majority of the disinterested directors of the Company
(for purposes hereof, any director who is also an officer of the Company or any subsidiary of the Company shall not be considered
a disinterested director with respect to any such agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement). Notwithstanding the foregoing,
for purposes of this Section 6.8, the Investors and their respective Affiliates shall not be considered Affiliates of the
Company.
| 6.9. | Transfer
Agent. The
Company covenants and
agrees that, in the
event that the Company’s
agency relationship
with the transfer agent
should be terminated
for any reason after
the Closing Date, the
Company shall immediately
appoint a new transfer
agent and shall require
that the new transfer
agent agree to be bound
by the terms of any
transfer agent instructions
issued by the Company
and in place as of the
date hereof. |
| 6.10. | Restriction
on
Issuance
of
the
Capital

So
long
as
any
Preferred
Stock
is
outstanding,
the
Company
shall
not,
without
the
prior
written
consent
of
the
Investors,
which
shall
not
be
unreasonably
withheld,
(i)
issue
or
sell
shares
of
Common
Stock
or
Preferred
Stock
without
consideration
or
for
a

per
share
less
than
the

determined
immediately
prior
to
its
issuance,
(ii)
issue
any
preferred
stock,
warrant,
option,
right,

or
other
security
or
instrument
granting
the
holder
thereof

right
to
acquire
Common
Stock
without
consideration
or
for
a
consideration
less
than
such
Common
Stock’s
Bid
Price
determined
immediately
prior
to
it’s
issuance,
(iii)
enter
into
any
security
instrument
granting
the
holder
a
security
interest
in
any
and
all
assets
of
the
Company,
or
(iv)
file
any
registration
statement
on
Form
S-8.
|
| 6.11. | Rights
of First Refusal.
So
long as any portion
of Series H Stock is
outstanding, if the
Company intends to
raise additional capital
by the issuance or
sale of Capital Stock
of the Company, including
without limitation
shares of any class
of common stock, any
class of preferred
stock, options, warrants
or any other securities
convertible or exercisable
into shares of common
stock (whether the
offering is conducted
by the Company, underwriter,
placement agent or
any third-party) the
Company shall be obligated
to offer to the Investors
such issuance or sale
of Capital Stock, by
providing in writing
the principal amount
of capital it intends
to raise and outline
of the material terms
of such capital raise,
prior to the offering
such issuance or sale
of Capital Stock to
any third parties including,
but not limited to,
current or former officers
or directors, current
or |
former shareholders and/or investors
of the obligor, underwriters, brokers, agents or other third parties. The Investors shall have ten (10) business days from
receipt of such notice of the sale or issuance of capital stock to accept or reject all or a portion of such capital raising offer.
| 6.12. | Limitation
on Beneficial Ownership.
In
no event shall the
Investor be entitled
to convert or exercise,
as the case may be,
any amount of its Series
H Preferred Stock or
Warrants in excess
of that amount upon
exercise or conversion
of which the sum of
(1) the number of shares
of Common Stock beneficially
owned (as such term
is defined under Section
13(d) and Rule 13d-3
of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 (the 1934
Act”)) by the
Investor, and (2) the
number of shares issuable
upon conversion of
the Series H Preferred
Stock then owned by
the Investor, and (3)
the number of shares
issuable upon the exercise
of any Warrants then
owned by Investor,
would result in beneficial
ownership by the Investor
of more than 9.9% of
the outstanding shares
of Common Stock of
the Company, as determined
in accordance with
Rule13d-1(j). Furthermore,
the Company shall not
process any exercise
that would result in
beneficial ownership
by the Investor of
more than 9.9% of the
outstanding shares
of Common Stock of
the Company. |
