Prior to each Closing Date, (I) the Company shall deliver to the Investor

the Investor on such date and registered in the name of the Investor; and (II)
the Investor shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price to be paid for such

certificates representing the Securities and provided that the Company's
transfer agent then is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of the
Investor, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause its
transfer agent to electronically transmit the Securities by crediting the
account of the Investor's prime broker (as specified by the Investor within a

Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system.

(delivery of Securities after the applicable Closing Date) in accordance with

The
Company shall make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand by the Investor. Nothing herein shall limit the
Investor's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue and
deliver the Securities to the Investor, except that such late payments shall
offset any such actual damages incurred by the Investor, and any Open Market
Adjustment Amount, as set forth below.
(H) OVERALL
LIMIT ON COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, if during the Open Period the Company becomes listed on an exchange
that limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued without
shareholder approval, then the number of Shares issuable by the Company and
purchasable by the Investor, shall not exceed that number of the shares of
Common Stock that may be issuable without shareholder approval (the "Maximum
Common Stock Issuance"). If such issuance of shares of Common Stock could cause
a delisting on the Principal Market, then the Maximum Common Stock Issuance
shall first be approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with
applicable law and the By-laws and Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company, if such issuance of shares of Common Stock could
cause a delisting on the Principal Market. The parties understand and agree that
the Company's failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no
way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale
of Securities or the Investor's obligation in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof to purchase a number of Shares in the aggregate up to the
Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only
to the applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in
this Section 2(H).
(I) If, by
the third (3rd) business day after the Closing Date, the Company fails to
deliver any portion of the shares of the Put to the Investor (the "Put Shares
Due") and the Investor purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise,
shares of Common Stock necessary to make delivery of shares which would have
been delivered if the full amount of the shares to be delivered to the Investor
by the Company (the "Open Market Share Purchase") , then the Company shall pay
to the Investor, in addition to any other amounts due to Investor pursuant to
the Put, and not in lieu thereof, the Open Market Adjustment Amount (as defined
below). The "Open Market Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to the excess,
if any, of (x) the Investor's total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions, if any) for the Open Market Share Purchase minus (y) the net
proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Investor from the
sale of the Put Shares Due. The Company shall pay the Open Market Adjustment
Amount to the Investor in immediately available funds within five (5) business
days of written
BUYER
GROUP INTL, INC.INVESTMENT.AGREEMENT.JUNE.2008

demand by
the Investor. By way of illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if
the Investor purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price
(including brokerage commissions) of $11,000 to cover an Open Market Purchase
with respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the
Open Market Purchase Adjustment Amount which the Company will be required to pay
to the Investor will be $1,000.
(J)
LIMITATION ON AMOUNT OF OWNERSHIP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in
this Agreement, in no event shall the Investor be entitled to purchase that
number of Shares, which when added to the sum of the number of shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule
13d-3 of the 1934 Act), by the Investor, would exceed 4.99% of the number of
shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date, as determined in
accordance with Rule 1 3d-1 (j) of the 1934 Act.

the Registration Rights Agreement and all rights and remedies which such holders

reason of any default or breach of any provision of this Agreement, including
the recovery of reasonable attorneys fees and costs, and to exercise all other
rights granted by law.

otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person under

law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any such

shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such payment had
not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not occurred.
(Q)
PRICING OF COMMON STOCK. For purposes of this Agreement, the bid price of the

herein shall require the Company to disclose non-public information to the
Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the Company represents that it
does not disseminate non-public information to any investors who purchase stock
in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities
analysts, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately notify the
advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any, underwriters, of any
event or the existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose
the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting non-
public information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by such persons or entities),
which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement
would cause such prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a
material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements,
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall be construed to mean that such
persons or entities other than the Investor (without the written consent of the
Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain non-public
information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or
entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based on such due
diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains
an untrue statement of material fact or omits a material fact required to be
stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.
