Company understands and acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion
Shares upon conversion of the Preferred Shares in accordance with this Agreement
and the Certificate of Designation and its obligation to issue the Warrant
Shares upon the exercise of the Warrants in accordance with this Agreement and
the Warrants, is, in each case, absolute and unconditional regardless of the

stockholders of the Company.
(ee) No Integrated
Offering. Neither the Company, nor any subsidiary nor any of its or their
affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or
indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to
buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Shares
and the Warrants pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior
offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act that would prevent
the Company from selling the Shares and the Warrants pursuant to Rule 506 under
the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval
provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take
any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Shares or the Warrants
to be integrated with other offerings. The Company does not have any
registration statement pending but not yet effective before the Commission or
currently under the Commission’s review and except as set forth on Schedule 2.01(ee)
hereto, since September 10, 2009, the Company has not offered or sold any of its
equity securities or debt securities convertible into shares of Common
Stock.

intends to comply with other applicable provisions of the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act and
the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder upon the effectiveness of such
provisions.
(gg) Independent Nature of
Purchasers. The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each
Purchaser under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the
obligations of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser shall be responsible in any
way for the performance of the obligations of any other Purchaser under the
Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that to the best of its
knowledge, the decision of each Purchaser to purchase securities pursuant to
this Agreement has been made by such Purchaser independently of any other
purchase and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions
as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities,
results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the
Company or of its subsidiaries that may have been made or given by any other
Purchaser or by any agent or employee of any other Purchaser, and no Purchaser
or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any Purchaser (or
any other person)
relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or
opinions. The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any
Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or
thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an
association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a
presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group
with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the
Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Purchaser shall be
entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without
limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other
Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to
be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company
acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience only, the
Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for one of the Purchasers
and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only such
Purchaser and the other Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel
with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company acknowledges
that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and
Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was
required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

of recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such
amounts as are prudent and customary in the businesses in which the Company and
its subsidiaries are engaged. To the best of Company’s knowledge, such insurance
contracts and policies are valid and in full force and effect. Neither the
Company nor any subsidiary has any reason to believe that it will not be able to
renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to
obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as may be necessary to continue
its business without a significant increase in cost.
(jj) Application of Takeover
Protections. The Company and its Board of Directors have taken all
necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share
acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under
a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s
Certificate (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its state of
incorporation that is or could become applicable to the Purchasers as a result
of the Purchasers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising
their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation the
Company’s issuance of the Shares and the Warrants and the Purchasers’ ownership
of the Shares and the Warrants.

Adverse Effect.

behalf has, (i) taken, directly or indirectly, any action designed to cause or
to result or that could reasonably be expected to cause or result, in the

facilitate the sale or resale of any of the Shares or the Warrants or (ii) sold,
bid for, purchased, or paid any compensation for soliciting purchases of, any of
the Shares and the Warrants.

actual knowledge of any fact which would reasonably lead a creditor to do

such Purchaser and constitutes, or shall constitute when executed and delivered,
a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable against the
Purchaser in accordance with the terms thereof.
(c) Purchase For Own
Account. Each Purchaser is acquiring the Preferred Shares and the
Warrants solely for its own account and not with a view to or for sale in
connection with distribution. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention
to sell the Preferred Shares or the Warrants, nor a present arrangement (whether
or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of the Preferred
Shares or the Warrants to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by

Purchaser does not agree to hold the Preferred Shares or the Warrants for any
minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the
Preferred Shares or the Warrants at any time in accordance with federal and

acknowledges that it is able to bear the financial risks associated with an
investment in the Preferred Shares and the Warrants and that it has been given
full access to such records of the Company and its subsidiaries and to the
officers of the Company and its subsidiaries and received such information as it
has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation
and has sufficient knowledge and experience in investing in companies similar to
the Company in terms of the Company’s stage of development so as to be able to
evaluate the risks and merits of its investment in the Company.

Securities Act. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a

inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of such

warranties contained in the Transaction Documents.

Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that
such person has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain
circumstances. Such Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is
not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Shares or Warrants
without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another
exemption from such registration requirement.
(h) General. Such
Purchaser understands that the Preferred Shares and the Warrants are being
offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration
requirement of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon
the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements,
acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order
to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such
Purchaser to acquire the Preferred Shares and the Warrants.
(i)
Governmental
Review. The Purchaser understands that no United States
federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has
passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or the
Warrants.
(j)
Independent

Compliance. The Company shall notify the Commission in accordance with
its rules and regulations, of the transactions contemplated by any of the
Transaction Documents, including filing a Form D with respect to the Shares and
the Warrants as required under Regulation D, and shall take all other necessary
action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule
and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Shares and the Warrants

exemption for or to qualify the Shares and the Warrants for sale to the
Purchasers at the Closing pursuant to this Agreement under applicable securities
or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States (or to obtain an exemption
from such qualification), and shall provide evidence of any such action so taken

Exchange Act and shall not take any action or file any document (whether or not
permitted by the Securities Act or the rules promulgated thereunder) to
terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under the Exchange Act
or Securities Act, except as permitted herein. The Company further covenants
that it will take such further action as the Purchasers may reasonably request,
all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchasers to sell
the Shares and Warrants, without registration under the Securities Act within
the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the
Securities Act. Upon the request of the Purchasers, the Company shall deliver to
the Purchasers a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to

Company and any subsidiary, and to discuss the

officers, consultants, directors, and key employees.
Section

The Company shall comply, and cause each subsidiary to comply, with all
applicable laws, rules, regulations and orders, noncompliance with which could
have a Material Adverse Effect.
Section
3.06 Keeping of Records and Books

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 its 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

Section
3.07 Reporting
Requirements. So long as any Purchaser holds any Shares or Warrants, if
the Commission ceases making periodic reports filed under the Exchange Act
available via the Internet, then at a Purchaser’s request the Company shall

Section
3.08 Amendments. The
Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Certificate or Bylaws of
the Company in any way that would adversely affect the liquidation preferences,
dividends rights, conversion rights, voting rights or redemption rights of the
Preferred Shares; provided, however, that (i) any
other class or series of equity securities which by its terms shall rank pari passu or senior to the

and (ii) any creation and issuance of another series of Junior Stock (as defined

Section
3.09 Other Agreements. The
Company shall not enter into any agreement in which the terms of such agreement
would restrict or impair the right or ability to perform of the Company or any
subsidiary under any Transaction Document.
Section
3.10 Distributions. So
long as any Purchaser holds any Shares or Warrants, the Company agrees that it
shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any
holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value,
directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company
(other than repurchases from employees of the Company not to exceed $50,000 in
the aggregate amount per fiscal year, or provided that all dividends have been
paid upon the Preferred Shares, repurchases pursuant to Rule 10b-18 under the
Exchange Act of up to $50,000 per fiscal year).
Section
3.11 Status of Dividends.
The Company covenants and agrees that (i) in no report to stockholders or to any
governmental body having jurisdiction over the Company or otherwise will it
treat the Preferred Shares other than as equity capital or the dividends paid
thereon other than as dividends paid on equity capital unless required to do so
by a governmental body having jurisdiction over the accounts of the Company or
by a change in GAAP required as a result of action by an authoritative
accounting standards setting body and (ii) it will take no action that would
result in the dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of the
Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits being ineligible for the
dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of the Code. The
preceding sentence shall not be deemed to prevent the Company from designating
the Preferred Stock as “Convertible Preferred Stock” in its annual and quarterly
financial statements. In the event that the Purchasers have reasonable cause to
believe that dividends paid by the Company on the Preferred Shares out of the
Company’s current or accumulated earnings and profits will not be treated as
eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by Section 243(a)(1) of
the Code, or any successor provision, the Company will, at the reasonable
request of the Purchasers of 51% of the outstanding Preferred Shares, join with
the Purchasers in the submission to the IRS of a request for a ruling that
dividends paid on the Preferred Shares will be so eligible for federal income
tax purposes. In addition, the Company will reasonably cooperate with the
Purchasers in any litigation, appeal or other proceeding challenging or
contesting any ruling, technical advice, finding or determination that earnings
and profits are not eligible for the dividends received deduction provided by
Section 243(a)(1) of the Code, or any successor provision to the extent that the
position to be taken in any such litigation, appeal, or other proceeding is not
contrary to any provision of the Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing
herein contained shall be deemed to preclude the Company from claiming a
deduction with respect to such dividends if (i) the Code shall hereafter be
amended, or final Treasury regulations thereunder are issued or modified, to
provide that dividends on the Preferred Shares should not be treated as
dividends for federal income tax purposes or that a deduction with respect to
all or a portion of the dividends on the Preferred Shares is allowable for
federal income tax purposes or (ii) in the absence of such an amendment,
issuance or modification and after a submission of a request for ruling or
technical advice, the IRS shall issue a published ruling or advise that
dividends on the Preferred Shares should not be treated as dividends for federal
income tax purposes. If the IRS specifically determines that the Preferred
Shares constitute debt, the Company may file protective claims for
refund.

Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any

Section
3.19 Pledge of Securities.
The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Shares may be pledged by a
Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or
financing arrangement that is secured by the Common Stock. The pledge of Common
Stock shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Common
Stock hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of Common Stock shall be
required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any
delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction
Document; provided that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply
with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or
assignment of Common Stock to such pledgee. At the Purchasers’ expense, the
Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of
the Common Stock may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the
Common Stock to such pledgee by a Purchaser.
Section
3.20 Subsequent
Financings.
(a) For
a period of one (1) year following the following the Closing Date, the Company
covenants and agrees to promptly notify (in no event later than five (5) days
after making or receiving an applicable offer) in writing (a “Rights Notice”) each
Purchaser of the terms and conditions of any proposed offer or sale to, or
exchange with (or other type of distribution to) any third party (a “Subsequent
Financing”), of Common Stock or any debt or equity securities
convertible, exercisable or exchangeable into Common Stock; provided, however, that prior
to delivering a Rights Notice to each Purchaser, the Company shall first deliver
to each Purchaser a written notice of the Company’s intention to effect a
Subsequent Financing (“Pre-Notice”) within
three (3) Trading Days of receiving an applicable offer, which Pre-Notice shall
ask such Purchaser if it wants to review the details of such financing. Each
Purchaser must notify the Company within three (3) Trading Days of receipt of
the Pre-Notice that such Purchaser elects to review the details of such
financing (“Pre-Notice
Acceptance”). Upon the Company’s receipt of a Pre-Notice Acceptance, and
only upon the Company’s receipt of a Pre-Notice Acceptance, the Company shall
promptly, but no later than two (2) Trading Days after such receipt, deliver a
Rights Notice to such Purchaser. The Rights Notice shall describe, in reasonable
detail, the proposed Subsequent Financing, the names and investment amounts of
all investors participating in the Subsequent Financing (if known at such time),
the proposed closing date of the Subsequent Financing, which shall be within
twenty (20) calendar days from the date of the Rights Notice, and all of the
terms and conditions thereof and proposed definitive documentation to be entered
into in connection therewith. The Rights Notice shall provide each Purchaser an
option (the “Rights
Option”) during the ten (10) Trading Days following delivery of the
Rights Notice (the “Option Period”) to
inform the Company whether such Purchaser will purchase up to its pro rata
portion of all or a portion of the securities being offered in such Subsequent
Financing on the same, absolute terms and conditions as contemplated by such
Subsequent Financing. If any Purchaser elects not to participate in such Subsequent
Financing, the other Purchasers may participate on a pro-rata basis so long as
such participation in the aggregate does not exceed the aggregate Purchase Price
of all Purchasers hereunder. For purposes of this Section, all references to
“pro rata” means, for any Purchaser electing to participate in such Subsequent
Financing, the percentage obtained by dividing (x) the number of Preferred
Shares purchased by such Purchaser at the Closing by (y) the total number of all
of the Preferred Shares purchased by all of the participating Purchasers at the
Closing. Delivery of any Rights Notice constitutes a representation and warranty
by the Company that there are no other material terms and conditions,
arrangements, agreements or otherwise except for those disclosed in the Rights
Notice, to provide additional compensation to any party participating in any
proposed Subsequent Financing, including, but not limited to, additional
compensation based on changes in the purchase price or any type of reset or
adjustment of a purchase or conversion price or to issue additional securities
at any time after the closing date of a Subsequent Financing. If the Company
does not receive notice of exercise of the Rights Option from the Purchasers
within the Option Period, the Company shall have the right to close the
Subsequent Financing on the scheduled closing date with a third party; provided
that all of the material terms and conditions of the closing are the same as
those provided to the Purchasers in the Rights Notice. If the closing of the
proposed Subsequent Financing does not occur on that date, any closing of the
contemplated Subsequent Financing or any other Subsequent Financing shall be
subject to all of the provisions of this Section 3.20(a), including, without
limitation, the delivery of a new Rights Notice. The provisions of this Section
3.20(a) shall not apply to issuances of securities in a Permitted Financing (as
defined hereinafter).

(b) For
purposes of this Agreement, a Permitted Financing shall not be considered a
Subsequent Financing. A “Permitted Financing”
shall mean (i) securities issued (other than for cash) in connection with a
merger, acquisition, or consolidation, (ii) securities issued pursuant to the
conversion or exercise of convertible or exercisable securities issued or
outstanding on or prior to the date of this Agreement or issued pursuant to this
Agreement (so long as the conversion or exercise price of such securities are
not amended to lower such price, except as a result of stock dividends,
subdivisions or combinations, and/or adversely affect the Purchasers), (iii)
securities issued in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements or
other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose
of raising capital, (iv) shares of Common Stock issued for consideration per
share of at least $1.75 (as adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, stock
combination, reclassification or similar transaction) or options with an
exercise price of at least $1.75 per share (as adjusted for any stock dividend,
stock split, stock combination, reclassification or similar transaction), in
each case, issued to employees, officers, consultants or directors of the
Company pursuant to any stock or option plan duly adopted for such purpose by a
majority of the non-employee members of the Board of Directors or a majority of

purpose and (v) the payment of dividends on the Preferred Shares in shares of
Common Stock or additional Preferred Shares.

Financing
involving a “Variable Rate Transaction”. The term “Variable Rate
Transaction” shall mean a transaction in which the Company issues or
sells (i) any debt or equity securities that are convertible into, exchangeable
or exercisable for, or include the right to receive additional shares of Common
Stock either (A) at a conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that
is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for the
shares of Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or
equity securities, or (B) with a conversion, exercise or exchange price that is
subject to being reset at some future date after the initial issuance of such
debt or equity security or upon the occurrence of specified or contingent events
directly or indirectly related to the business of the Company or the market for
the Common Stock or (ii) enters into any agreement, including, but not limited
to, an equity line of credit, whereby the Company may sell securities at a
future determined price.

of the Preferred Shares then outstanding, (a) enter into, create, incur, assume,
guarantee or suffer to exist any indebtedness for borrowed money of any kind in
excess of an aggregate of $250,000, including but not limited to, a guarantee,

for any indebtedness or guaranteed indebtedness, in each case, not in excess of
an aggregate of $250,000, (ii) Liens for taxes, assessments and other
governmental charges or levies not yet due or Liens for taxes, assessments and
other governmental charges or levies being contested in good faith and by
appropriate proceedings for which adequate reserves (in the good faith judgment
of the management of the Company) have been established in accordance with GAAP
and (iii) Liens imposed by law which were incurred in the ordinary course of the
Company’s business, such as carriers’, warehousemen’s and mechanics’ Liens,
statutory landlords’ Liens, and other similar Liens arising in the ordinary
course of the Company’s business, and which (x) do not individually or in the
aggregate materially detract from the value of such property or assets or
materially impair the use thereof in the operation of the business of the
Company and its subsidiaries or (y) are being contested in good faith by
appropriate proceedings, which proceedings have the effect of preventing for the
foreseeable future the forfeiture or sale of the property or asset subject to
such Lien.
Section
3.22 Integration. The
Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no affiliate of
the Company shall, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise
negotiate in respect of any security (as defined in Section 2 of the Securities
Act) that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Preferred Shares and
the Warrants in a manner that would require the registration under the
Securities Act of the sale of the Preferred Shares and the Warrants to the
Purchasers.

CERTIFICATE LEGEND
Section
5.01 Legend. Each
certificate representing the Preferred Shares, the Warrants, and, if
appropriate, securities issued upon conversion thereof, shall be stamped or
otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in
addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky”
laws):
THESE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN
REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”)
OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE
DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE
STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR THE COMPANY SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL
THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE
PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
The
Company agrees to reissue certificates representing any of the Conversion Shares
and the Warrant Shares without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior
to making any transfer of any such securities, such holder thereof shall give
written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer
and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and
removal will not be effected until (i) the Company has received an opinion of
counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the
registration of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares under the Securities
Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a
registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed
disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become
effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other
evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and
qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not
required or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that
such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. The
Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) Trading
Days (the “Legend
Removal Date”). In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section
5.01, the Company will use reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable
state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required (x) to
qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take
any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in
any state where it is not then subject or (z) to comply with state securities or
“blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is
unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this
Section 5.01 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other
restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement.
Whenever a certificate representing the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares
is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering
physical certificates representing the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares
(provided that a registration statement under the Securities Act providing for
the resale of the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares is then in effect, as
the case may be, or the Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act without restriction), the Company
shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Conversion Shares
or the Warrant
Shares, as the case may be, to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such
Purchaser’s Prime Broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system (to the
extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement) provided that the
Company and the Company’s transfer agent are participating in DTC through the
DWAC system.

each $2,000 of Conversion Shares or the Warrant Shares (based on the VWAP (as
defined hereinafter) of the Common Stock on the date such securities are
submitted to the transfer agent) delivered for removal of the restrictive legend
and subject to Section 5.01, $10 per Trading Day (increasing to $20 per Trading
Day five (5) Trading Days after such damages have begun to accrue) for each
Trading Day after the fourth (4th) Trading Day following the Legend Removal Date

such Purchasers’ rights to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to
deliver certificates representing any securities as required by the Transaction
Documents, and such Purchaser shall have the right to pursue all remedies
available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of
specific performance and/or injunctive relief.
For
purposes hereof, “VWAP” means, for any
date, the price determined by the first of the following clauses that applies:
(a) if the Common Stock is then listed or quoted on a Trading Market (as defined
hereinafter), the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for
such date (or the nearest preceding date) on the Trading Market on which the
Common Stock is then listed or quoted as reported by Bloomberg L.P. (based on a
Trading Day from 9:30 a.m. (New York City time) to 4:02 p.m. (New York City
time); (b) if the OTCBB is not a Trading Market, the volume weighted
average price of the Common Stock for such date (or the nearest preceding date)
on the OTCBB; (c) if the Common Stock is not then quoted for trading on the
OTCBB and if prices for the Common Stock are then reported in the “Pink Sheets”
published by Pink OTC Markets Inc. (or a similar organization or agency
succeeding to its functions of reporting prices), the most recent bid price per
share of the Common Stock so reported; or (d) in all other cases, the fair
market value of a share of Common Stock as determined by an independent
appraiser selected in good faith by the holders of a majority of the Preferred
Stock then outstanding and reasonably acceptable to the Company.

purposes hereof, “Trading Market” means
the following markets or exchanges on which the Common Stock is listed or quoted
for trading on the date in question: the NYSE Amex Equities, the Nasdaq Capital
Market, the Nasdaq Global Market, the Nasdaq Global Select Market, the New York

INDEMNIFICATION
Section
6.01 General
Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless
the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, managers, partners,
members, shareholders, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and
against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and
expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and
disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy
in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company
herein. Each Purchaser severally but not jointly agrees to indemnify
and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents,
successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities,
deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation,
reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company
as result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or
covenants made by such Purchaser herein. The maximum aggregate liability of each
Purchaser pursuant to its indemnification obligations under this Article VI
shall not exceed the portion of the Purchase Price paid by such Purchaser
hereunder.
Section
6.02 Indemnification
Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this
Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying
party of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that
the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as
provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations
under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is
actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such
action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect
of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be
entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the
indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party
exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the
indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of
one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof
with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the
event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will not
contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30)
days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person
of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense,
any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after
it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option,
defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or
claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects
in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim,
proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of
the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding
shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified
party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any
negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and
shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to
the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The
indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times
as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect
thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action
or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such
defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The
indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim
or proceeding effected without its prior written
consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary,
the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written
consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in
respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or
which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the
claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all
liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations
to defend the indemnified party required by this Article VI shall be made by
periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or
defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is
incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is
ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was
not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained
herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the
indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any
liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the
law. No indemnifying party will be liable to the indemnified party
under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim,
damage or liability is attributable to the indemnified party’s breach of any of
the representations, warranties or covenants made by such party in this
Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents. To the extent that
the foregoing undertaking by an indemnifying party is unenforceable for any
reason, the indemnifying party will make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction of each of the indemnified liabilities that is permissible
under applicable law.

(b) Each
of the Company and the Purchasers (i) hereby irrevocably submits to the
jurisdiction of the United States District Court sitting in the Southern
District of New York and the courts of the State of New York located in New York
County for the purposes of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents or the

not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not
personally subject to the jurisdiction of such court, that the suit, action or
proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the
suit, action or proceeding is improper. Each of the Company and the Purchasers
consents to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by

Section
7.03 Entire Agreement;
Amendment. This Agreement (including all exhibits and schedules hereto)
and the Transaction Documents contain the entire understanding and agreement of
the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and, except as
specifically set forth herein or in the Transaction Documents, neither the
Company nor any of the Purchasers makes any representations, warranty, covenant
or undertaking with respect to such matters and they supersede all prior
understandings and agreements with respect to said subject matter, all of which

than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the holders of Preferred
Shares convertible into at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the Conversion
Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Preferred Shares then outstanding,
and no provision hereof may be waived other than by a written instrument signed
by the party against whom enforcement of any such amendment or waiver is sought.
No such amendment shall be effective to the extent that it applies to less than
all of the holders of the Preferred Shares then outstanding. No consideration
shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or
modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the
same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction
Documents or holders of Preferred Shares, as the case may be.

Section
7.05 Waivers. No waiver by
either party of any default with respect to any provision, condition or
requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the
future or a waiver of any other provisions, condition or requirement hereof, nor
shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any
manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it
thereafter.
Section
7.06 Headings. The

Section
7.08 No Third Party
Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties
hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns and is not for the
benefit of, nor may any provision hereof be enforced by, any other
person.
Section
7.09 Governing Law. This
Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal
laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any of the conflicts of
law principles which would result in the application of the substantive law of
another jurisdiction. This Agreement shall not be interpreted or construed with
any presumption against the party causing this Agreement to be drafted. Each
party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable
law, any and all rights to a trial by jury in any legal proceeding arising out
of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated
hereby.
Section
7.10 Survival. The
representations and warranties of the Company and the Purchasers shall survive
the execution and delivery hereof and the Closing hereunder for the applicable
statute of limitations period.
Section
7.11 Counterparts. This
Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so
executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together
shall constitute one and the same Agreement and shall become effective when
counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties
hereto, it being understood that all parties need not sign the same counterpart.
In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such
signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on
whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect
as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
Section
7.12 Publicity. The
Company agrees that it will not disclose, and will not include in any public
announcement, the name of the Purchasers without the consent of the Purchasers
unless and until such disclosure is required by law or applicable regulation,
and then only to the extent of such requirement.
Section
7.13 Severability. The
provisions of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents are severable and, in
the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one
or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement
or the Transaction Documents shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid,
illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or
unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of
this Agreement or the Transaction Documents and such provision shall be reformed
and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part
of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions
would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent
possible.
Section
7.14 Further Assurances.
From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of any Purchaser or
the Company, each of the Company and the Purchasers shall execute and deliver
such instrument, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or
desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and
purposes of this Agreement, the Preferred Shares, the Conversion Shares, the
Warrants, the Warrant Shares, the Certificate of Designation and the other
Transaction Documents.

Section
7.15 Limitation of
Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary,
the Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of a Purchaser arising
directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature
whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Purchaser, and
that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle
or any other affiliate of such Purchaser or any investor, shareholder or holder
of shares of beneficial interest of such a Purchaser shall be personally liable
for any liabilities of such Purchaser.
Section
7.16 Like Treatment of
Purchasers. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any
Person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any
of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to
all of the parties to the Transaction Documents. Further, the Company shall not
make any payments or issue any securities to the Purchasers in amounts which are
disproportionate to the respective numbers of outstanding Preferred Shares held
by any Purchasers at any applicable time. For clarification purposes,
this provision constitutes a separate right granted to each Purchaser by the
Company and negotiated separately by each Purchaser, and is intended for the
Company to treat the Purchasers as a class and shall not in any way be construed
as the Purchasers acting in concert or as a group with respect to the purchase,
disposition or voting of the Shares, the Warrants or otherwise.
Section
7.17 Stay, Extension and Usury
Laws. The Company covenants (to the extent that it may
lawfully do so) that it shall not at any time insist upon, plead, or in any
manner whatsoever claim or take the benefit or advantage of, any stay, extension
or usury law or other law wherever enacted, now or at any time hereafter in
force, that would prohibit or forgive it from paying all or any portion of
payments relating to the Preferred Shares and the Conversion Shares, or which
may affect the covenants under, or the performance of, any of the Transaction
Documents; and the Company (to the extent it may lawfully do so) hereby
expressly waives all benefit or advantage of any such law, and covenants that it
will not, by resort to any such law, hinder, delay or impede the execution of
any power granted to any Purchaser herein or in any of the other Transaction
Documents, but will suffer and permit the execution of every such power as
though no such law has been enacted.

Agent name and address]
Ladies
and Gentlemen:
Reference
is made to that certain Series B Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement
(the “Purchase
Agreement”), dated as of March 23, 2010, by and among ActiveCare, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and the
purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant
to which the Company is issuing to the Purchasers shares of its Series B
Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $0.00001 per share, (the “Preferred Shares”)
and warrants (the “Warrants”) to
purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.00001 per share (the
“Common
Stock”). This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and
direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at
such time) to issue shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred
Shares (the “Conversion Shares”)
and exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) to
or upon the order of a Purchaser from time to time upon (i) surrender to you of
a properly completed and duly executed Conversion Notice or Exercise Notice, as
the case may be, in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I and Exhibit II,
respectively and (ii) in the case of the conversion of Preferred Shares, a copy
of the certificates (with the original certificates delivered to the Company)
representing Preferred Shares being converted or, in the case of Warrants being
exercised, a copy of the Warrants (with the original Warrants delivered to the
Company) being exercised (or, in each case, an indemnification undertaking with
respect to such share certificates or the warrants in the case of their loss,
theft or destruction). So long as you have previously received (x) written
confirmation from counsel to the Company that the Conversion Shares or the
Warrant Shares may be sold without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule
144(c)(1) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and
otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144 of the
Securities Act, then certificates representing the Conversion Shares or the
Warrant Shares, as the case may be, shall not bear any legend restricting
transfer of the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares, as the case may be,
thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restriction; provided, however, that if you
have not previously received those items and representations listed above, then
the certificates for the Conversion Shares and the Warrant Shares shall bear the
following legend:
“THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE
SECURITIES LAWS AND
MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER
THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR THE COMPANY SHALL
HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES
LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.”

FORM
OF OPINION OF COUNSEL
1. The
Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good
standing under the laws of the state of Delaware and has the requisite corporate
power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its
business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in
which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such
qualification necessary.
2. The
Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and
perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the
Preferred Stock, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants. The execution, delivery and
performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the
consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and
validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or
authorization of the Company or its Board of Directors or stockholders is
required. Each of the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and
delivered, and the Preferred Stock and the Warrants have been duly executed,
issued and delivered by the Company and each of the Transaction Documents
constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its respective terms. The Common Stock
issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants is
not subject to any preemptive rights under the Certificate of Incorporation or
the Bylaws.
3. The
Preferred Stock and the Warrants have been duly authorized and, when delivered
against payment in full as provided in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly
issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants have been duly
authorized and reserved for issuance, and, when delivered upon conversion or
against payment in full as provided in the Certificate of Designation and the
Warrants, as applicable, will be validly issued, fully paid and
nonassessable.
4. The
execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the
Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Warrants and
the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Preferred Stock and exercise of
the Warrants do not (i) violate any provision of the Certificate of
Incorporation or Bylaws, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an
event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under,
or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or
cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture,
note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the
Company is a party, (iii) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any
property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment to which the
Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its
respective properties or assets are bound, or (iv) result in a violation of any
federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment,
injunction or decree (including federal
and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which
any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except, in all cases
other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) and (iv) above, for such
conflicts, default, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and
violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material
Adverse Effect.

5. No
consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with
any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required under federal,
state or local law, rule or regulation in connection with the valid execution
and delivery of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the
Preferred Stock, the Warrants or the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
the Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants other than the Certificate of
Designation.
6. There
is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened
against the Company which questions the validity of this Agreement or the
transactions contemplated hereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant
hereto or thereto. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding
pending, or to our knowledge, threatened, against or involving the Company or
any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined, is
reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. There are no
outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court,
arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any
officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such.
7. The
offer, issuance and sale of the Preferred Stock and the Warrants and the offer,
issuance and sale of the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the
Preferred Stock and exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the Purchase Agreement,
the Certificate of Designation and the Warrants, as applicable, are exempt from
the registration requirements of the Securities Act.
8. The
Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon Closing will not be, an
“investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,”
within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
