Re: Sub-Agency Agreement

Dear Xx. Xxxxxxxx:

Pursuant to that certain Exclusive Investment Banking Agreement dated March 12, 2013 and supplemented on May 21, 2013 and as of even date herewith (the "Placement Agency Agreement"), Agincourt, Ltd. (“AGENT”) has been engaged by Cardax Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Holdings”), and (the "Company"), to act as the Company's lead placement agent in connection with the offering by the Company of shares of common stock (the “Common Stock”) of Koffee Korner, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“PubCo”), and warrants to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”) which will be issued and sold contingent upon, and at the closing of, the proposed merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of PubCo with and into Cardax Pharma, Inc. (“Pharma”), a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company resulting in, among other matters, PubCo owning 100% of Pharma and Holdings owning more than 50% of the Common Stock of PubCo. The shares of the Common Stock and the Warrants (collectively, the “Securities”) that will be issued and sold in the offering (the "Offering") will be offered on a "best efforts" basis to "accredited investors", as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"), in a "private placement" under Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Act. The AGENT is not obligated to provide more than its commercially reasonable efforts to place the Securities to consummate the Offering and the Company has the right to terminate the Offering. This Sub-Agency Agreement (this ''Agreement") sets forth the terms and consideration Xxxxxxx Investment Co. Inc., an Oregon Corporation ("Xxxxxxx."), will receive from AGENT in connection with its role as the AGENT's sub-agent in the Offering.

1.   Services. Xxxxxxx will assist AGENT in placing the Securities to be sold in the Offering to selected investors who are "accredited investors". Xxxxxxx acknowledges that AGENT, as the lead placement agent, has full authority to administer the Offering and to take such actions and make decisions as AGENT in its sole discretion deems appropriate.

(a)          Fees. Simultaneously with each closing of the Offering, AGENT shall direct the escrow agent for the Offering to pay Xxxxxxx from the escrow account established for the Offering a cash placement fee equal 9% of the aggregate purchase price paid by each Referred Investor (as defined below) for Securities that are sold at such closing (the "Placement Agent's Fee"). AGENT agrees that no closing in which subscription funds submitted by Referred Investors are included as proceeds shall be consummated without providing for payment to Xxxxxxx as contemplated herein and that, in the event an escrow account is not used in connection with one or more closings, then AGENT shall immediately pay Xxxxxxx, or cause Xxxxxxx to be paid, the Placement Agent's Fee from compensation AGENT receives or is due in relation to each closing. The Placement Agent's Fee shall be paid to Xxxxxxx by wire transfer or in such other manner as Xxxxxxx may reasonably request from time to time.

Within 15 days following the final closing of the Offering, Xxxxxxx will provide the AGENT, and PubCo with a list of all persons that were Specifically Introduced in connection with the Offering. Should any person that was Specifically Introduced make an investment in PubCo or Pharma, through an offering that is not a public offering by either of those companies, at any time during the period which extends for a period of eighteen (18) months from the date of the final closing, the company which receives the investment shall pay Xxxxxxx the fee Xxxxxxx would receive if the investment were made in this offering.

(b)          Certain Definitions. As used herein, "Referred Investors" means investors whom Xxxxxxx "introduced" (as defined below) to AGENT and which AGENT introduces to the Company during the period commencing on the earlier of the date of this Agreement or of the earliest date on the Offering Documents (as defined below) and ending on the later of the date of the final closing in relation to the Offering or the date that the Offering is terminated. An investor "introduced'' by Xxxxxxx to AGENT means a person or entity (and any related family members, successors or affiliates, including, without limitation affiliated entities and trusts) that is identified by Xxxxxxx to AGENT on a schedule to be provided by Xxxxxxx on or before each Closing, subject to the Company's approval and agreement, or in another reasonable manner (e.g., by email or hand notice), who as a result of actions by Xxxxxxx (i) met with the Company and/or had a conversation with the Company either in person or via telephone or other means of communication regarding the Offering or (ii) was provided with a copy of the Offering Documents by Xxxxxxx, the Company or AGENT based upon expressing an interest in the Offering, and was not previously introduced to the Company by AGENT or any other placement agent acting for AGENT or the Company; provided, that an investor introduced by Xxxxxxx to AGENT and which AGENT introduces to the Company will not be a "Referred Investor" and Xxxxxxx will not receive any fee or compensation with respect to such investor if such investor: (i) is an institutional investor unless such institutional investor was approved by AGENT as a potential Referred Investor prior to the distribution of any Offering Documents to such institutional Investor; or (ii) was introduced to AGENT or to the Company by any other placement agent engaged by AGENT or the Company in connection with the Offering. A "Specifically Introduced'' means a person or entity (and any related family members, successors or affiliates, including, without limitation affiliated entities and trusts) that is identified by Xxxxxxx to AGENT on a schedule to be provided by Xxxxxxx on or before each Closing, subject to the Company's approval and agreement, or in another reasonable manner (e.g., by email or hand notice), who as a result of actions by Xxxxxxx met with the Company and/or had a conversation with the Company either in person or via telephone or other means of communication regarding the Offering.

(c)          Warrant Coverage / Compensation. In addition to the Placement Agent's Fee, as additional compensation, AGENT shall cause Xxxxxxx or its designees who are accredited investors to be paid a warrant (the "Agent's Warrants") to purchase such number of shares of the Company's common stock equal to 8% of the total number of shares of PubCo's common stock all Securities sold are convertible into at the closing of the Reverse Acquisition, at a purchase price of $0.625 per share (or such other price per share that equals the lowest purchase price per share that is specified in a warrant granted to AGENT arising from AGENT's services to the Company pursuant to the Placement Agency Agreement). Capitalized terms used in this Section 1(c) but not otherwise defined herein shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Offering Documents.

(d)          Expenses. Contingent upon the closing of the first Offering, Xxxxxxx shall receive a non-accountable expense fee of $20,000. Beyond the aforementioned expense fee, Xxxxxxx shall be responsible for its own expenses incurred in connection with this engagement, unless approved in writing in advance by the AGENT. Xxxxxxx shall be responsible to pay any and all fees and expenses of its Representatives, and shall comply with all laws, rules and regulations (including, without limitation, any and all filings and compliance with the FINRA rules and regulations) applicable to payments involving third parties.

2

(e)          Survival. The obligations of AGENT set forth in this Section 1 shall survive termination of this Agreement. Payment to Xxxxxxx and its designees, if any, of the Placement Agent's Fee, the Agent's Warrants and Expenses is due at and as a condition to any closing of the Offering, unless this condition is waived, in full or in part, by Xxxxxxx in its sole and exclusive discretion, in which case such payment shall be due promptly (and in no event more than three business days) following the time that Xxxxxxx requests such payment in the future. To the extent there is more than one closing of the Offering, payment of the proportional amount of the Placement Agent's Fee will be made out of the proceeds of subscriptions for the Securities sold at each closing.

2.   Offering Documents. AGENT will make available to Xxxxxxx, as soon as practicable after sufficient quantities thereof are made available to AGENT by the Company, copies any final investor presentation or other Offering Documents (defined below) to be used in connection with the Offering of the Securities in such numbers as Xxxxxxx may reasonably request. As used herein, "Offering Documents" means the offering memorandum or other offering materials (e.g., an investor presentation, subscription agreement and related documents, etc.), as it or they may be amended, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, authorized by the Company for use in connection with the Offering. Xxxxxxx will not use any documentation or provide other information regarding the solicitation of investment in the Company other than the Offering Documents that have been approved by AGENT.

3.   Term of Engagement. This Agreement will terminate upon the termination or expiration of the Placement Agency Agreement ("Termination Date"). It is hereby agreed and acknowledged that Xxxxxxx may terminate this Agreement prior to the Termination Date by providing to AGENT at least thirty (30) days advance written notification; provided, however, that this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect with respect to any transactions which took place prior to such notification.

4.   Representations, Warranties and Covenants. Each party hereto represents, warrants and/or covenants, as applicable, to the other party hereto as follows:
