aggregate of up to 28,571,429 shares of Common Stock at a purchase price per
share of $0.070 (the “Purchase Price”), for an aggregate purchase price of $2,000,000.03;
and (ii) Warrants exercisable for a number of shares of Common Stock equal to
20% of the shares of Common Stock purchased by the Purchaser hereunder, at an
exercise price of $0.070 per share as set forth in the Warrant. The sale and
issuance of the Common Stock and Warrants shall occur over multiple closings
(each, a “Closing”) occurring over two (2) one month closing periods
and five (5) two-month closing periods (each, a “Closing Period”), the first Closing of which shall occur on or
about January 11, 2010, and with subsequent Closings occurring thereafter during
the Closing Periods as set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto. No later than thirty (30) calendar
days prior to each proposed Closing, or such shorter period as agreed upon by
the parties in writing, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a written
notice (each, a “Closing Notice”), in substantially the form attached hereto as
Exhibit B, wherein the Company shall notify the Purchaser of
the Company’s election to sell and issue to the Purchaser at such proposed

and issued to the Purchaser during the applicable Closing Period as set forth on
Exhibit A, less any shares of Common Stock already issued and
sold to the Purchaser during such Closing Period, and subject to increase upon
mutual agreement by the parties pursuant to Section 1(a)(ii). Within seven (7)
calendar days of receipt of the Closing Notice, the Purchaser must either accept
or reject in a writing delivered to the Company the offer to purchase Common
Stock as set forth in the Closing Notice. If the Company does not deliver a
Closing Notice to the Purchaser no less than thirty (30) calendar days prior to
such proposed Closing, or such shorter period as agreed upon by the parties in
writing, or the Purchaser accepts or rejects the offer to purchase the Common
Stock as set forth in the Closing Notice within seven (7) calendar days of
receipt of the Closing Notice, or if the Purchaser does not respond to the
Closing Notice within such time, then the Closing Notice and offer to purchase
the Common Stock shall be deemed rejected and the proposed Closing shall occur
unless the parties otherwise agree in writing. If the Purchaser accepts the
Company’s offer to purchase the Common Stock as set forth in the Closing Notice,
such Closing shall occur on the date set forth in the Closing Notice and Exhibit A shall be updated accordingly to reflect the
consummation of the Closing.
(ii)
Upon mutual written agreement between the Company and the Purchaser, (A) up to
an aggregate additional 285,713 shares of Common Stock (the “Additional Shares”) may be included in one or more Closings for sale
and issuance to the Purchaser, and (B) to the extent the actual number of shares
of Common Stock issued and sold by the Company to the Purchaser at any Closing
does not equal the maximum number of shares of Common Stock available for sale
and issuance at such Closing as set forth on Exhibit A, the Company and the Purchaser may include such
unissued shares of Common Stock from prior Closings in one or more subsequent
Closings, provided the maximum total number of shares of Common Stock issued and
sold under the Agreement shall not exceed 28,571,429 shares for an aggregate
Purchase Price of $2,000,000.03.

deliver to the Purchaser a certificate evidencing the Common Stock and a Warrant
to be purchased by the Purchaser against: (1) payment of the Purchase Price with
respect to the Common Stock purchased at such Closing, in the amount to be set
forth next to the Purchaser’s name on Exhibit A with respect to the applicable Closing, by

(iii) The sale and issuance of Common Stock
and Warrants under this Agreement may continue hereunder until the earlier of
(a) such time as the aggregate Purchase Price of Common Stock issued and sold
under this Agreement equals a total of $2,000,000.03, or such higher amount as
approved by the Company’s Board of Directors and the Purchaser, or (b) the close
of business on December 31, 2010. All such sales shall be made on the terms and

2. Additional
Provisions.
(a) Stock Purchase
Agreement. The Purchaser
understands and agrees that the exercise of the Warrants for equity securities

3. Representations and Warranties of the
Company. The Company
hereby represents and warrants to the Purchaser that:

carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted.
(b) Authorization. This Agreement,
the Common Stock and the Warrants have been duly authorized by the Board of
Directors of the Company. The Agreement and the Warrants, when executed and

application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, and as limited
by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief,

(b) Purchase Entirely for Own
Account. This Agreement is
made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser’s representation to the
Company, which by the Purchaser’s execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser
hereby confirms, that the Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be
acquired for investment for the Purchaser’s own account, not as a nominee or
agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof,
and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any
participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this

sufficient information about the Company to reach an informed and knowledgeable
decision to acquire the securities.

representations as expressed herein. The Purchaser understands that the
Securities are “restricted securities” under applicable U.S. federal and state
securities laws and that, pursuant to these laws, the Purchaser must hold

qualified by state authorities, or an exemption from such registration and
qualification requirements is available. The Purchaser acknowledges that the
Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale. The
Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or
qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements

for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are
outside of the Purchaser’s control, and which the Company is under no obligation
and may not be able to satisfy.

ever exist for the Securities.

understands that the Securities, and any securities issued in respect thereof or
exchange therefor, may bear one or all of the following legends:
(i) “THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS
CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AND HAVE
BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND NOT WITH A VIEW TO, OR IN CONNECTION WITH, THE
SALE OR DISTRIBUTION THEREOF. NO SUCH SALE OR DISTRIBUTION MAY BE EFFECTED
WITHOUT AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT RELATED THERETO OR AN OPINION OF
COUNSEL IN A FORM SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT
REQUIRED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933.”

of any state to the extent such laws are applicable to the shares represented by

had the opportunity to consult with his, her or its counsel regarding the
matters relevant to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.
(i) Foreign Investors. If the Purchaser
is not a United States person or entity (as defined by Rule 902(k) under the
Securities Act), the Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as
to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any
invitation to subscribe for the Securities or any use of this Agreement,
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
