BUYER REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES.

The Buyer represents and warrants to, and covenants and agrees with, the Company, as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, as follows:

Binding Obligation. The Transaction Documents to which the Buyer is a party, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by the Buyer. This Agreement has been executed and delivered by the Buyer, and this Agreement is, and each of the other Transaction Documents to which the Buyer is a party, when executed and delivered by the Buyer (if necessary), will be valid and binding obligations of the Buyer enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

Accredited Investor Status. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of the General Rules and Regulations under the 1933 Act.

COMPANY REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Company represents and warrants to the Buyer as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date that:

Rights of Others Affecting the Transactions. Except as have been disclosed to the Buyer in writing, there are no preemptive rights of any stockholder of the Company, as such, to acquire the Securities. No other party has a currently exercisable right of first refusal which would be applicable to any or all of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.

Status. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Incorporation and has the requisite corporate power to own its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect. The Company has registered its stock under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), and is obligated to file reports pursuant to Section 13 or Section 15(d) of the 1934 Act. The Company has taken no action designed to terminate, or which to its knowledge is likely to have the effect of, terminating the registration of the Common Stock under the 1934 Act, nor has the Company received any notification that the SEC is contemplating terminating such registration. The Common Stock is quoted on the Principal Trading Market. The Company has received no notice, either oral or written, with respect to the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for quotation on the Principal Trading Market, and the Company has maintained all requirements on its part for the continuation of such quotation. The Company has not, in the twelve (12) months preceding the date hereof, received notice from the Principal Trading Market on which the Common Stock is or has been listed or quoted to the effect that the Company is not in compliance with the listing or maintenance requirements of such Principal Trading Market. The Company is, and has no reason to believe that it will not in the foreseeable future continue to be, in compliance with all such listing and maintenance requirements.

Authorized Shares.

(i)

The authorized capital stock of the Company consists of 10,000,000 shares of Preferred Stock, $0.001 par value per share, none of which are presently outstanding, 300,000,000 shares of Common Stock, $0.001 par value per share, of which approximately 193,771,976 are issued and outstanding shares and approximately 30,473,044 are reserved for issuance under the terms of various options, warrants and convertible notes and other obligations. Of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, approximately 10,715,080 shares are beneficially owned by Affiliates of the Company.

(ii)

Other than as set forth in the Company’s SEC Documents, there are no outstanding securities which are convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, whether such conversion is currently exercisable or exercisable only upon some future date or the occurrence of some event in the future.

(iii)

All issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable. After considering all other commitments that may require the issuance of Common Stock, the Company has sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock as may be necessary to effect the issuance of the Shares on the Closing Date, were the Warrant issued and fully exercised on that date.

(iv)

The Shares have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the Company, and, when issued (1) at the Closing, or (2) upon exercise of the Warrant in accordance with its terms, will have been duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, free from all taxes, liens, claims, pledges, mortgages, restrictions, obligations, security interests and encumbrances of any kind, nature and description, and will not subject the Holder thereof to personal liability by reason of being a Holder.

(v)

The Purchased Shares and Warrant Shares are enforceable against the Company subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally and the Company presently has no claims or defenses of any nature whatsoever with respect to the Purchased Shares or the Warrant Shares.

Transaction Documents and Stock. This Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents, and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, have been duly and validly authorized by the Company. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company and this Agreement is, and the Warrant, the Transfer Agent Letter and each of the other Transaction Documents, when executed and delivered by the Company (if necessary), will be, valid and binding obligations of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject as to enforceability to general principles of equity and to bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium, and other similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally.

Non-contravention. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and each of the other Transaction Documents by the Company, the issuance of the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof and thereof, and the consummation by the Company of the other transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Warrant, the Transfer Agent Letter and the other Transaction Documents do not and will not conflict with or result in a breach by the Company of any of the terms or provisions of, or constitute a default under (i) the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company, each as currently in effect, (ii) any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, or other material agreement or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are bound, including any listing agreement for the Common Stock except as herein set forth, or (iii) to its knowledge, any existing applicable law, rule, or regulation or any applicable decree, judgment, or order of any court, United States federal or state regulatory body, administrative agency, or other governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or any of its properties or assets, except such conflict, breach or default which would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Approvals. No authorization, approval or consent of any court, governmental body, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization, or stock exchange or market or the stockholders of the Company is required to be obtained by the Company for the issuance and sale of the Securities to the Buyer as contemplated by this Agreement, except such authorizations, approvals and consents that have been obtained.

Filings; Financial Statements. None of the Company’s SEC Documents contained, at the time they were filed, any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company has filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by the Company with the SEC under the 1934 Act on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such report, schedule, form, statement or other document prior to the expiration of any such extension. As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects the financial position of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). No other information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyer which is not included in the Company’s SEC Documents, including, without limitation, information referred to in this Agreement, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or were made, not misleading.

Absence of Certain Changes. Since the Last Audited Date, there has been no Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Documents. Since the Last Audited Date, except as provided in the Company’s SEC Documents, the Company has not (i) incurred or become subject to any material liabilities (absolute or contingent) except liabilities incurred in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (ii) discharged or satisfied any material lien or encumbrance or paid any material obligation or liability (absolute or contingent), other than current liabilities paid in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (iii) declared or made any payment or distribution of cash or other property to stockholders with respect to its capital stock, or purchased or redeemed, or made any agreements to purchase or redeem, any shares of its capital stock; (iv) sold, assigned or transferred any other material tangible assets, or canceled any material debts owed to the Company by any third party or material claims of the Company against any third party, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; (v) waived any rights of material value, whether or not in the ordinary course of business, or suffered the loss of any material amount of existing business; (vi) made any increases in employee compensation, except in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices; or (vii) experienced any material problems with labor or management in connection with the terms and conditions of their employment.

Full Disclosure. There is no fact known to the Company or that the Company should know after having made all reasonable inquiries (other than conditions known to the public generally or as disclosed in the Company’s SEC Documents) that has not been disclosed in writing to the Buyer that would reasonably be expected to have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Absence of Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened against or affecting the Company before or by any governmental authority or non-governmental department, commission, board, bureau, agency or instrumentality or any other person, wherein an unfavorable decision, ruling or finding would have a Material Adverse Effect or which would adversely affect the validity or enforceability of, or the authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under, any of the Transaction Documents. The Company is not aware of any valid basis for any such claim that (either individually or in the aggregate with all other such events and circumstances) could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. There are no outstanding or unsatisfied judgments, orders, decrees, writs, injunctions or stipulations to which the Company is a party or by which it or any of its properties is bound, that involve the transaction contemplated herein or that, alone or in the aggregate, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Absence of Events of Default. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in violation of or in default with respect to (i) its Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws or other organizational documents, each as currently in effect, or any material judgment, order, writ, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to such entity; or (ii) any material mortgage, indenture, agreement, instrument or contract to which such entity is a party or by which it or any of its properties or assets are bound (nor is there any waiver in effect which, if not in effect, would result in such a violation or default), except such breach or default which would not have or result in a Material Adverse Effect.

Absence of Certain Company Control Person Actions or Events. Other than as set forth in the Company’s SEC Documents, none of the following has occurred during the past five (5) years with respect to a Company Control Person:

(i) A petition under the federal bankruptcy laws or any state insolvency law was filed by or against, or a receiver, fiscal agent or similar officer was appointed by a court for the business or property of such Company Control Person, or any partnership in which he or she was a general partner at or within two years before the time of such filing, or any corporation or business association of which he or she was an executive officer at or within two years before the time of such filing;

A. acting, as an investment advisor, underwriter, broker or dealer in securities, or as an affiliated person, director or employee of any investment company, bank, savings and loan association or insurance company, as a futures commission merchant, introducing broker, commodity trading advisor, commodity pool operator, floor broker, any other Person regulated by the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (“CFTC”) or engaging in or continuing any conduct or practice in connection with such activity;

(v) Such Company Control Person was found by a court of competent jurisdiction in a civil action or by the CFTC or SEC to have violated any federal or state securities law, and the judgment in such civil action or finding by the CFTC or SEC has not been subsequently reversed, suspended, or vacated.

No Undisclosed Liabilities or Events. The Company has no liabilities or obligations other than those disclosed in the Transaction Documents or the Company’s SEC Documents or those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business since the Last Audited Date, or which individually or in the aggregate, do not or would not have a Material Adverse Effect. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its properties, business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), or results of operations, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed. There are no proposals currently under consideration or currently anticipated to be under consideration by the Board of Directors or the executive officers of the Company which proposal would (i) change the Certificate of Incorporation or bylaws of the Company, each as currently in effect, with or without stockholder approval, which change would reduce or otherwise adversely affect the rights and powers of the stockholders of the Common Stock or (ii) materially or substantially change the business, assets or capital of the Company, including its interests in Subsidiaries.

No Integrated Offering. Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offer or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would eliminate the availability of the exemption from registration under Regulation D in connection with the offer and sale of the Securities as contemplated hereby.

Dilution. Each of the Company and its executive officers and directors is aware that the number of shares issuable upon the issuance of the Purchased Shares and exercise of the Warrant, or pursuant to the other terms of the Transaction Documents may have a dilutive effect on the ownership interests of the other stockholders (and Persons having the right to become stockholders) of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue (i) the Purchased Shares at the Closing and (ii) the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrant, is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company, and the Company will honor such obligations, including honoring every Notice of Exercise (as defined in the Warrant), unless the Company is subject to an injunction (which injunction was not sought by the Company or any of its directors or executive officers) prohibiting the Company from doing so.

Fees to Brokers, Placement Agents and Others. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any Person for a brokerage commission, placement agent or finder’s fees or similar payments by the Buyer relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. Except for such fees arising as a result of any agreement or arrangement entered into by the Buyer without the knowledge of the Company (a “Buyer’s Fee”), the Buyer shall have no obligation with respect to such fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other Persons for fees of a type contemplated in this subsection that may be due in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless each of the Buyer, its employees, officers, directors, stockholders, managers, agents, and partners, and their respective Affiliates, from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including the costs of preparation and attorneys’ fees) and expenses suffered in respect of any such claimed or existing fees (other than a Buyer’s Fee, if any).

Disclosure. All information relating to or concerning the Company set forth in the Transaction Documents or in the Company’s public filings with the SEC or otherwise provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Buyer is true and correct in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its business, properties, prospects, operations or financial conditions, which under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company.

Confirmation. The Company agrees that, if, to the knowledge of the Company, any events occur or circumstances exist prior to the payment of the Purchase Price to the Company which would make any of the Company’s representations or warranties set forth herein materially untrue or materially inaccurate as of such date, the Company shall immediately notify the Buyer in writing prior to such date of such fact, specifying which representation, warranty or covenant is affected and the reasons therefor.

Title. The Company and the Subsidiaries, if applicable, own and have good and marketable title in fee simple absolute to, or a valid leasehold interest in, all their respective real properties and good title to their other respective assets and properties, subject to no liens, claims or encumbrances except as have been disclosed to the Buyer.

Intellectual Property.

(i)

Ownership. The Company owns or possesses or can obtain on commercially reasonable terms sufficient legal rights to all patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses (software or otherwise), information, know-how, inventions, discoveries, published and unpublished works of authorship, processes and any and all other proprietary rights (“Intellectual Property”) necessary to the business of the Company as presently conducted, the lack of which could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Except for agreements with its own employees or consultants, standard end-user license agreements, support/maintenance agreements and agreements entered in the ordinary course of the Company’s business, all of which have been made available for review by the Buyer, there are no outstanding options, licenses or agreements relating to the Intellectual Property of the Company, and the Company is not bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity. The Company has not received any written communication alleging that the Company has violated or, by conducting its business as currently conducted, would violate any of the Intellectual Property of any other person or entity, nor is the Company aware of any basis therefor. The Company is not obligated to make any payments by way of royalties, fees or otherwise to any owner or licensor of or claimant to any Intellectual Property with respect to the use thereof in connection with the present conduct of its business other than in the ordinary course of its business. There are no agreements, understandings, instruments, contracts, judgments, orders or decrees to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound which involve indemnification by the Company with respect to infringements of Intellectual Property, other than in the ordinary course of its business.

(ii)

No Breach by Employees. The Company is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under any contract or other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or administrative agency, that would materially interfere with the use of his or her efforts to promote the interests of the Company or that would conflict with the Company’s business as presently conducted. Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, nor the carrying on of the Company’s business by the employees of the Company, nor the conduct of the Company’s business as presently conducted, will, to the Company’s knowledge, conflict with or result in a breach of the terms, conditions or provisions of, or constitute a default under, any contract, covenant or instrument under which any such employee is now obligated. The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to use any inventions of any of its employees made prior to their employment by the Company of which it is aware.

Each of the parties agrees that it will not disseminate any information relating to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby, including issuing any press releases, holding any press conferences or other forums, or filing any reports (collectively, “Publicity”), without giving the other party reasonable advance notice and an opportunity to comment on the contents thereof. Neither party will include in any such Publicity any statement or statements or other material to which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally required to be included. In furtherance of the foregoing, the Company will provide to the Buyer’s Counsel drafts of the applicable text of the first filing of a current report on Form 8-K or a Quarterly or Annual Report on Form 10-Q or 10-K (or equivalent SB forms), as the case may be, intended to be made with the SEC which refers to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby as soon as practicable and will not include in such filing (or any other filing filed before then) any statement or statements or other material to which the other party reasonably objects, unless in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the party proposing such statement, such statement is legally required to be included. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each of the parties hereby consents to the inclusion of the text of the Transaction Documents in filings made with the SEC (but any descriptive text accompanying or part of such filing shall be subject to the other provisions of this subsection). Notwithstanding, but subject to, the foregoing provisions of this subsection, the Company will, within four (4) business days after the Closing Date, promptly issue a press release and file a current report on Form 8-K or, if appropriate, a quarterly or annual report on the appropriate form, describing the terms of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents in the form required by the 1934 Act and approved by the Buyer and attaching the material Transaction Documents as exhibits to such filing. The Company further agrees to redact all confidential information from such Form 8-K.

(vi)

FINRA Rule 5110. In the event that the Corporate Financing Rule 5110 of FINRA is or becomes applicable to the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents or to the sale by a Holder of any of the Securities, then the Company shall, to the extent required by such rule, timely make any filings and cooperate with any broker or selling stockholder in respect of any consents, authorizations or approvals that may be necessary for FINRA to timely and expeditiously permit the Holder to sell the Securities.

(vii)

Keeping of Records and Books of Account. The Company shall keep and cause each Subsidiary, if any, to keep adequate records and books of account, in which complete entries will be made in accordance with GAAP consistently applied, reflecting all financial transactions of the Company and such Subsidiaries, and in which, for each fiscal year, all proper reserves for depreciation, depletion, obsolescence, amortization, taxes, bad debts and other purposes in connection with its business shall be made.

(viii)

Corporate Existence. The Company shall (a) do all things necessary to preserve and keep in full force and effect its corporate existence, including, without limitation, preserving and keeping in full force and effect all licenses or similar qualifications required by it to engage in its business in all jurisdictions in which it is at the time so engaged; (b) continue to engage in business of the same general type as conducted as of the date hereof; and (c) continue to conduct its business substantially as now conducted or as otherwise permitted hereunder.

(ix)

Taxes. The Company shall pay and discharge promptly when due all taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon it or upon its income or profits or in respect of its property before the same shall become delinquent or in default, which, if unpaid, might reasonably be expected to give rise to liens or charges upon such properties or any part thereof, unless, in each case, the validity or amount thereof is being contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and the Company has maintained adequate reserves with respect thereto in accordance with GAAP.

(x)

Compliance. The Company shall comply in all material respects with all federal, state and local laws and regulations, orders, judgments, decrees, injunctions, rules, regulations, permits, licenses, authorizations and requirements (collectively, “Requirements”) of all governmental bodies, insurers, departments, commissions, boards, courts, authorities, officials or officers which are applicable to the Company, its business, operations, or any of its properties, except where the failure to so comply would not have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or any of its properties; provided, however, that nothing provided herein shall prevent the Company from contesting in good faith the validity or the application of any Requirements.

(xi)

3(a)(10) Shares. In the event the Company, in violation of the covenants contained herein, ever ceases to be a reporting company for purposes of the 1934 Act for any period of time, then the Company, for so long as Rule 144 is not available to the Buyer as an exemption from registration, shall use its best efforts to cause any of its stockholders who at such time are in possession of Common Stock tradable under Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act (“3(a)(10) Shares”) to cease to sell such 3(a)(10) Shares.

(xii)

Litigation. From and after the date hereof and until all of the Company’s obligations hereunder are performed in full and the Warrant is exercised in full, the Company shall notify the Buyer in writing, promptly upon learning thereof, of any litigation or administrative proceeding commenced or threatened against the Company involving a claim in excess of $250,000.00. Such information will be retained on a confidential basis unless and until a general public announcement or SEC filing is made that includes such information.

(xiii)

Performance of Obligations. The Company shall promptly and in a timely fashion perform and honor all demands, notices, requests and obligations that exist or may arise under the Transaction Documents.

(xiv)

Failure to Make Timely Filings. The Company agrees that, if the Company fails to timely file on the SEC’s XXXXX system any information required to be filed by it, whether on a Form 10-K, Form 10-Q, Form 8-K, Proxy Statement or otherwise so as to be deemed a “reporting issuer” with current public information under the 1934 Act, the Company shall be liable to pay to the Holder an amount based on the following schedule (where “No. Business Days Late” refers to each Trading Day after the latest due date (after giving effect to any valid extension of time to file) for the relevant filing):


	Late Filing Payment For
	Each $10,000.00
No. Business Days Late	of Exercise Price for the Warrant

1	$100.00
2	$200.00
3	$300.00
4	$400.00
5	$500.00
6	$600.00
7	$700.00
8	$800.00
9	$900.00
10	$1,000.00
>10	$1,000.00 + $200.00 for each Trading
	Day Late beyond 10 days

The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this subsection in immediately available funds upon demand by the Holder; provided, however, that the Holder making the demand may specify that the payment shall be made in shares of Common Stock at the Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) applicable to the date of such demand.

(xv)

Authorized Shares. The Company shall take all action 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 full exercise of the Warrant (the “Share Reserve”). If at any time the Share Reserve is insufficient to effect the full exercise of the Warrant, the Company shall immediately increase the Share Reserve accordingly. If the Company does not have sufficient authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock available to increase the Share Reserve, the Company shall call and hold a special meeting of the stockholders within thirty (30) days of such occurrence, for the sole purpose of increasing the number of shares authorized. The Company’s management shall recommend to the Company’s stockholders to vote in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. Management shall also vote all of its shares in favor of increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such additional shares of Common Stock to be authorized so as to comply with the requirements of this Section.

(xvi)

DWAC Eligibility. For so long as any portion of the Warrant remains unexercised, the Company shall use best efforts to maintain DWAC eligibility.

TRANSFER AGENT INSTRUCTIONS.

The Company warrants that, with respect to the Securities, other than the stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section 5(a)(i) hereof, it will give the Transfer Agent no instructions inconsistent with instructions to issue Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant, as may be applicable from time to time, in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Company to the Transfer Agent, bearing the restrictive legend specified in Section 5(a)(ii) of this Agreement prior to registration of the Shares under the 1933 Act, registered in the name of the Buyer or its nominee and in such denominations to be specified by the Holder in connection therewith. Except as so provided, the Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement to comply with all applicable securities laws upon resale of the Securities. If the Buyer provides the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company that registration of a resale by the Buyer of any of the Securities in accordance with clause (1)(B) of Section 5(a)(i) of this Agreement is not required under the 1933 Act or upon request from a Holder while an applicable registration statement is effective, the Company shall (except as provided in clause (2) of Section 5(a)(i) of this Agreement) permit the transfer of the Securities and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, as may be applicable, use its best efforts to cause the Transfer Agent to promptly electronically transmit to the Holder via DWAC such Warrant Shares. The Company specifically covenants that, as of the Closing Date, the Company’s Transfer Agent shall be (a) participating in the DWAC program, and (b) DWAC eligible. Moreover, the Company shall notify the Buyer in writing if the Company at any time while the Holder holds Securities becomes aware of any plans of the Transfer Agent to terminate such DWAC participation or eligibility. While any Holder holds Securities, the Company shall at all times after the Closing Date maintain a transfer agent which participates in the DWAC program and is DWAC eligible, and the Company will not appoint any transfer agent which does not both participate in the DWAC program and maintain DWAC eligibility. Nevertheless, if at any time that the Company receives an Exercise Notice the Transfer Agent is not participating in the DWAC program or the Warrant Shares are not otherwise transferable via the DWAC program, then the Company shall instruct the Transfer Agent to issue one or more certificates for Common Stock without legend in such name and in such denominations as specified by the Buyer. In the event the Company’s transfer agent is not DWAC eligible on any Exercise Date (as defined in the Warrant), and consequently the Company issues Warrant Shares pursuant to a Notice of Exercise in certificated rather than electronic form, then in such event if the closing bid price of the Common Stock on the Principal Trading Market is lower on the date of delivery of the certificates to the Buyer than on the Exercise Date, as the case may be, then such difference in the closing bid prices, multiplied by the number of Warrant Shares, as applicable, shall be added to the Warrant Shares the Holder may acquire pursuant to the Warrant.

(i)

The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of Warrant Shares on exercise of the Warrant, beyond the relevant Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to any other available remedies at law or equity, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Holder for late delivery of the Shares in accordance with the following schedule (where “No. Business Days Late” is defined as the number of Trading Days beyond three (3) Trading Days after the Delivery Date):


	Late Payment for Each $10,000.00
	of the Total Exercise Price for the
No. Business Days Late	Warrant Shares Not Delivered

1	$100.00
2	$200.00
3	$300.00
4	$400.00
5	$500.00
6	$600.00
7	$700.00
8	$800.00
9	$900.00
10	$1,000.00
>10	$1,000.00 + $200.00 for each Trading
	Day Late beyond 10 days

As elected by the Holder, the amount of any payments incurred under this Section 6(b)(i) shall be automatically paid by the Company in immediately available funds upon demand. Nothing herein shall limit the Holder’s right to pursue additional damages for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver the Shares to the Holder within a reasonable time. Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to a Holder, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of such Shares within three (3) Trading Days after the Delivery Date, the Holder will be entitled to revoke the relevant Notice of Exercise by delivering a notice to such effect to the Company prior to such Holder’s receipt of the relevant Shares, whereupon the Company and the Holder shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to delivery of such Notice of Exercise; provided, however, that any payments contemplated by this Section 6(b)(i) which have accrued through the date of such revocation notice shall remain due and owing to the Holder notwithstanding such revocation.

(ii)

If, by the fifth Trading Day after the relevant Delivery Date, the Company fails for any reason to deliver the Shares, but at any time after the Delivery Date, the Holder purchases, in an arm’s-length open market transaction or otherwise, shares of Common Stock (the “Covering Shares”) in order to make delivery in satisfaction of a sale of Common Stock by the Holder (the “Sold Shares”), which delivery such Holder anticipated to make using the shares to be issued upon such exercise (a “Buy-In”), the Holder shall have the right to require the Company to pay to the Holder, in addition to and not in lieu of the amounts contemplated in other provisions of the Transaction Documents, including, but not limited to, the provisions of the immediately preceding Section 6(b)(i)), the Buy-In Adjustment Amount (as defined below). The “Buy-In Adjustment Amount” is the amount equal to the number of Sold Shares multiplied by the excess, if any, of (x) the Holder’s total purchase price per share (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the Covering Shares over (y) the net proceeds per share (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Holder from the sale of the Sold Shares. The Company shall pay the Buy-In Adjustment Amount to the Holder in immediately available funds immediately upon demand by the Holder. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Holder purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000.00 to cover a Buy-In with respect to shares of Common Stock the Holder sold for net proceeds of $10,000.00, the Buy-In Adjustment Amount which Company will be required to pay to the Holder will be $1,000.00.

The Company shall assume any fees or charges of the Transfer Agent or Company Counsel regarding (i) the removal of a legend or stop transfer instructions with respect to the Securities, and (ii) the issuance of certificates or DWAC registration to or in the name of the Holder or the Holder’s designee or to a transferee as contemplated by an effective registration statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the Holder’s responsibility to obtain all needed formal requirements (specifically: medallion guarantee and prospectus delivery compliance) in connection with any electronic issuance of shares of Common Stock and provide any other documentation or evidence reasonably required by Company Counsel.

The Holder of the Warrant shall be entitled to exercise such Warrant, as the case may be, notwithstanding the commencement of any case under 11 U.S.C. §101 et seq. (the “Bankruptcy Code”). In the event the Company is a debtor under the Bankruptcy Code, the Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of such Holder’s exercise privilege. The Company hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted, any rights to relief it may have under 11 U.S.C. §362 in respect of the exercise of the Warrant.

CLOSING DATE.

The Closing Date shall occur on the date which is the first Trading Day after each of the conditions contemplated by Sections 8 and 9 hereof shall have either been satisfied or been waived by the party in whose favor such conditions run.

Closing of the purchase and sale of the Purchased Shares and the Warrant, which the parties anticipate shall occur concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, shall occur at the offices of the Buyer and shall take place no later than 3:00 P.M., Eastern Time, or on such day or such other time as is mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Buyer.

CONDITIONS TO THE COMPANY’S OBLIGATION TO SELL. The Buyer understands that the Company’s obligation to sell the Purchased Shares and the Warrant to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement on the Closing Date is conditioned upon all of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in whole or in part by the Company:

The execution and delivery of this Agreement and, as applicable, the other Transaction Documents by the Buyer on or before the Closing Date;

Delivery by the Buyer by or on the Closing Date of good funds as payment in full of an amount equal to the Purchase Price in accordance with this Agreement;

The accuracy on the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Buyer contained in this Agreement, each as if made on such date, and the performance by the Buyer on or before such date of all covenants and agreements of the Buyer required to be performed on or before such date; and

There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained.

CONDITIONS TO THE BUYER’S OBLIGATION TO PURCHASE. The Buyer’s obligation to purchase the Purchased Shares and the Warrant is conditioned upon and subject to the fulfillment, on or prior to the Closing Date, of all of the following conditions, any of which may be waived in whole or in part by the Buyer:

The execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent Letter and, as applicable, the other Transaction Documents by the Company on or before the Closing Date;

The delivery by the Company to the Buyer of the Purchased Shares in accordance with the terms set forth in this Agreement;

The delivery by the Company to the Buyer of the Warrant, in original form, duly executed by the Company, in accordance with this Agreement;

On the Closing Date, each of the Transaction Documents executed by the Company on or before such date shall be in full force and effect and the Company shall not be in default thereunder;

On or prior to the Closing Date, the Share Reserve shall be sufficient to effect the full exercise of the Warrant as of the Closing Date;

The accuracy in all material respects on the Closing Date of the representations and warranties of the Company contained in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, each as if made on such date, and the performance by the Company on or before such date of all covenants and agreements of the Company required to be performed on or before such date;

There shall not be in effect any law, rule or regulation prohibiting or restricting the transactions contemplated hereby, or requiring any consent or approval which shall not have been obtained;

From and after the date hereof up to and including the Closing Date, each of the following conditions will remain in effect: (i) the trading of the Common Stock shall not have been suspended by the SEC or on the Principal Trading Market; (ii) trading in securities generally on the Principal Trading Market shall not have been suspended or limited; (iii) no minimum prices shall been established for securities traded on the Principal Trading Market; (iv) there shall not have been any material adverse change in any financial market; and (v) there shall not have occurred any Material Adverse Effect;

Except for any notices required or permitted to be filed after the Closing Date with certain federal and state securities commissions, the Company shall have obtained (i) all governmental approvals required in connection with the lawful sale and issuance of the Securities, and (ii) all third party approvals required to be obtained by the Company in connection with the execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents by the Company or the performance of the Company’s obligations thereunder; and

All corporate and other proceedings in connection with the transactions contemplated at the Closing and all documents and instruments incident to such transactions shall be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Buyer.

10.

INDEMNIFICATION.

The Company agrees to defend, indemnify and forever hold harmless the Buyer and its stockholders, directors, officers, managers, members, partners, Affiliates, employees, and agents, and each Buyer Control Person (collectively, the “Buyer Parties”) from and against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses incurred (collectively, “Damages”), joint or several, and any action in respect thereof to which the Buyer or any of the other Buyer Parties becomes subject, resulting from, arising out of or relating to any misrepresentation, breach of warranty or nonfulfillment of or failure to perform any covenant or agreement on the part of the Company contained in this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, as such Damages are incurred. The Buyer Parties with the right to be indemnified under this Section (the “Indemnified Parties”) shall have the right to defend any such action or proceeding with attorneys of their own selection, and the Company shall be solely responsible for all costs and expenses related thereto; provided, however that the Company shall have the right at its cost and expense to participate through counsel of its choosing in the defense of the claim. If the Indemnified Parties opt not to retain their own counsel, the Company shall defend any such action or proceeding with attorneys of its choosing at its sole cost and expense, provided that such attorneys have been pre-approved by the Indemnified Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and provided further that the Company may not settle any such action or proceeding without first obtaining the written consent of the Indemnified Parties.

The indemnity agreements contained in this Agreement shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the Buyer Parties against the Company or others, and (ii) any other liabilities the Company may be subject to.

11.

SPECIFIC PERFORMANCE. The Company and the Buyer acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties (including any Holder) shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, without (except as specified below) the necessity to post a bond, to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or such other Transaction Document and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity; provided, however that the Company, upon receipt of a Notice of Exercise, may not fail or refuse to deliver the stock certificates and the related legal opinions, if any, or if there is a claim for a breach by the Company of any other provision of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Company shall not raise as a legal defense, any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has violated any provision hereof or any other Transaction Document or has engaged in any violation of law or any other claim or defense, unless the Company has first posted a bond for one hundred fifty percent (150%) of the principal amount and, if relevant, then obtained a court order specifically directing it not to deliver such stock certificates to the Holder. The proceeds of such bond shall be payable to the Holder to the extent that the Holder obtains judgment or its defense is recognized. Such bond shall remain in effect until the completion of the relevant proceeding and, if the Holder appeals therefrom, until all such appeals are exhausted. This provision is deemed incorporated by reference into each of the Transaction Documents as if set forth therein in full.

12.

OWNERSHIP LIMITATION. If at any time after the Closing, the Buyer shall or would receive shares of the Company’s Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrant, so that the Buyer would, together with other shares of Common Stock held by it or its Affiliates, hold by virtue of such action or receipt of additional shares of Common Stock a number of shares exceeding 9.99% of the number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock outstanding on such date (the “9.99% Cap”), the Company shall not be obligated and shall not issue to the Buyer shares of its Common Stock which would exceed the 9.99% Cap, but only until such time as the 9.99% Cap would no longer be exceeded by any such receipt of shares of Common Stock by the Buyer. The foregoing limitations are enforceable, unconditional and non-waivable.

13.

MISCELLANEOUS. The Company and the Buyer hereby agree that the provisions of this Section 13 shall apply to all of the Transaction Documents.

Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Utah for contracts to be wholly performed in such state and without giving effect to the principles thereof regarding the conflict of laws. Each of the parties consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal courts whose districts encompass any part of the County of Salt Lake or the state courts of the State of Utah sitting in the County of Salt Lake in connection with any dispute arising under this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, and hereby waives, to the maximum extent permitted by law, any objection, including any objection based on forum non conveniens, to the bringing of any such proceeding in such jurisdictions or to any claim that such venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper. Nothing in this subsection shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

No Waiver. Failure of any party to exercise any right or remedy under this Agreement or otherwise, or delay by a party in exercising such right or remedy, shall not operate as a waiver thereof.

Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of each of the parties hereto.

Pronouns. All pronouns and any variations thereof refer to the masculine, feminine or neuter, singular or plural, as the context may permit or require.

Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed to constitute one instrument. Facsimile and email copies of signed signature pages will be deemed binding originals.

Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for convenience of reference and shall not form part of, or affect the interpretation of, this Agreement.

Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such a manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be modified to achieve the objective of the parties to the fullest extent permitted and such invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement or the validity or enforceability of this Agreement in any other jurisdiction.

Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only by an instrument in writing signed by the party to be charged with enforcement thereof.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement together with the other Transaction Documents constitute and contain the entire agreement between the Company and the Buyer and supersede all prior agreements and understandings among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Currency. All dollar amounts referred to or contemplated by this Agreement or any other Transaction Document shall be deemed to refer to US Dollars, unless otherwise explicitly stated to the contrary.

Buyer’s Expenses. In the event the Company or the Buyer elects not to effect the Closing for any reason, the Company shall pay to the Buyer $6,250 in cash or shares of Common Stock (as determined by the Company in its sole discretion) at a price per share equal to the Exercise Price set forth in the Warrant for the Buyer’s legal, administrative and due diligence expenses. Except as provided in the immediately preceding sentence and except for the Transaction Expense Shares which have been included as part of the Purchased Shares for the Buyer’s legal, administrative and due diligence expenses, the Company and the Buyer shall be responsible for paying such party’s own fees and expenses (including legal expenses) incurred in connection with the preparation and negotiation of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.

Assignment by the Company. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the rights, interests or obligations of the Company hereunder may not be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of the Buyer, which consent may be withheld at the sole discretion of the Buyer; provided, however, that in the case of a merger, sale of substantially all of the Company’s assets or other corporate reorganization, the Buyer shall not unreasonably withhold, condition or delay such consent.

Advice of Counsel. In connection with the preparation of this Agreement and all other Transaction Documents, each of the Company, its stockholders, officers, agents, and representatives acknowledges and agrees that the attorney that prepared this Agreement and all of the other Transaction Documents acted as legal counsel to the Buyer only. Each of the Company, its stockholders, officers, agents, and representatives (i) hereby acknowledges that he/she/it has been, and hereby is, advised to seek legal counsel and to review this Agreement and all of the other Transaction Documents with legal counsel of his/her/its choice, and (ii) either has sought such legal counsel or hereby waives the right to do so.

No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement is the language chosen mutually by the parties hereto and no doctrine of construction shall be applied for or against any party.

Attorney’s Fees. In the event of any action at law or in equity to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, the Prevailing Party (as defined hereafter) shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs and collection costs in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. “Prevailing Party” shall mean the party in any litigation or enforcement action that prevails in the highest number of final rulings, counts or judgments adjudicated by a court of competent jurisdiction.

Replacement of the Warrant. Subject to any restrictions on or conditions to transfer set forth in the Warrant, the Holder of the Warrant, at its option, may in person or by duly authorized attorney surrender the same for exchange at the Company’s chief executive office, and promptly thereafter and at the Company’s expense, except as provided below, receive in exchange therefor one or more new warrants, each for the purchase of the number of shares of Common Stock requested by the Holder, dated the date of the Warrant so surrendered and registered in the name of such person or persons as shall have been designated in writing by such Holder or its attorney to purchase an aggregate total of the same number of shares of Common Stock as are available for purchase under the Warrant as of the date it is surrendered. As applicable, upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the ownership of and the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of the Warrant and (i) in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it; or (ii) in the case of mutilation, upon surrender thereof, the Company, at its expense, will execute and deliver in lieu thereof a new warrant executed in the same manner as the Warrant being replaced, for the same number of shares of Common Stock as are available for purchase under the Warrant as of the date of replacement and dated the date of the Warrant.
