REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES

3.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company.

The Company hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchaser as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date, unless such representation or warranty is made as of a specific date therein, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct as of such date:

(a) Organization; Authority.

(i) The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to own and operate its properties and assets, to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents, to issue and sell the Shares, and to carry out the provisions of the Transaction Documents. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Cardax Pharma, Inc., is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite power and authority to carry on its business to own and operate its properties and assets.

(ii) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by the Corporation of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate actions, as applicable, on the part of the Corporation.

(iii) Each Transaction Document to which the Corporation is a party has been duly executed by the Corporation, and when delivered by the Corporation in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (1) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (2) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies; and (3) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b) Capitalization. The capitalization of the Company is properly reflected in all material respects by the SEC Filings as of the date indicated in such filings.

(c) Issuance of Shares. The Shares to be issued at each Closing are duly authorized and, upon issuance in accordance with the terms hereof and payment by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, shall be duly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and are free and clear from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof. With respect to the Shares sold at each Closing, the shares of Common Stock that will be issued upon the conversion of the Shares will have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon conversion of the Shares into shares of Common Stock, will be validly issued, fully paid, and nonassessable, and will be free and clear from all taxes, liens, and charges with respect to the issue thereof.

(d) Private Placement. Assuming the accuracy of the Purchaser’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares to the Purchaser as contemplated hereunder. The issuance and sale of the Shares hereunder does not contravene the rules and regulations of the Trading Market applicable to the Company.

(e) SEC Filings. The documents that have been filed by the Company with the SEC (the “SEC Filings”), as amended and supplemented, do not contain a material misstatement of fact or omit to state any material fact necessary to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, as interpreted by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; provided, that this representation assumes that such SEC Filings are supplemented by all required disclosures for the purchase and sale of the Shares under the terms of this Agreement.

3.2 Representations and Warranties of the Purchaser.

The Purchaser hereby makes the following representations and warranties to the Company as of the date hereof and as of each Closing Date, except to the extent any such representation or warranty is specifically made as of a particular date, in which case it shall be true and correct as of such date:

(a) Organization; Authority.

(i) The Purchaser is a limited liability company that is duly formed, validly existing, and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its formation with all requisite power and authority to enter into and to consummate the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents and otherwise to carry out its obligations hereunder and thereunder.

(ii) The execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents and performance by the Purchaser of the transaction contemplated by the Transaction Documents have been duly authorized by all necessary limited liability company actions, as applicable, on the part of the Purchaser.

(iii) Each Transaction Document to which it is a party has been duly executed by the Purchaser, and when delivered by the Purchaser in accordance with the terms hereof, will constitute the valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms, except: (1) as limited by general equitable principles and applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights generally; (2) as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies; and (3) insofar as indemnification and contribution provisions may be limited by applicable law.

(b) Own Account. The Purchaser understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” and have not been registered under the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and is acquiring the Securities as principal for its own account and not with a view to or for distributing or reselling the Securities or any part thereof in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law, has no present intention of distributing any of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law and has no direct or indirect arrangement or understandings with any other person to distribute or regarding the distribution of such Securities in violation of the Securities Act or any applicable state securities law (this representation and warranty not limiting the Purchaser’s right to sell the Securities in compliance with applicable federal and state securities laws). The Purchaser is acquiring the Shares hereunder in the ordinary course of its business or investment strategy.

(c) Purchaser Status. At the time the Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and as of the date hereof and on each Closing Date, and on each date on that it converts any Shares, it will be an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501 under the Securities Act. The certificate that is delivered to the Company by the Broker Dealer at each Closing certifying that the Purchaser is an accredited investor is true and complete in all material respects.

(d) Experience of the Purchaser. The Purchaser, either alone or together with its representatives, has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in business and financial matters so as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the prospective investment in the Securities, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of an investment in the Securities and, at the present time, is able to afford a complete loss of such investment.

(e) Certain Transactions and Confidentiality. Other than consummating the transaction contemplated hereunder, the Purchaser shall not directly or indirectly, execute any purchases or sales, including Short Sales, of the securities of the Company during the period commencing as of date of this Agreement and the date that is 10 days after the date that the Offering is terminated or expires. The Purchaser has maintained the confidentiality of all disclosures made to it in connection with this transaction and has used such information only in consideration of making an investment in the Shares.

(f) Disclosure.

(i) The Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the information provided and available to the Purchaser at the time that this Agreement is executed and delivered (including, but not limited to the SEC Filings) (the “Execution Date Information”) may not include all of the material information that would be provided to a purchaser of securities in an offering of securities that is registered under the Securities Act and included in a prospectus that is required to be delivered in accordance with Section 5 of the Securities Act. Additionally, the Purchaser acknowledges that it will not have the benefits of the disclosures and the civil remedies that flow from an offering registered under the Securities Act.

(ii) The Purchaser agrees that it has had an opportunity to conduct its due diligence on the investment and in connection therewith: (1) obtain additional information concerning investment in the Securities, including without limitation, information concerning the Company and any other matters relating directly or indirectly to the purchase of the Securities by the Purchaser; (2) ask questions of, and receive answers from, the executives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of investment in the Securities and to obtain such additional information as may have been necessary to verify the accuracy of any information that may have been provided to the Purchaser; and (3) acknowledges that the only information the Purchaser relied upon is information or documentation that was provided expressly by the Company to the Purchaser for such purposes.

(iii) The Purchaser and/or Purchaser’s advisor acknowledges that it has received and reviewed the SEC Filings, including the summary of certain material risks contained in the “Risk Factors” sections in such documents and Schedule C and certain matters regarding the use of proceeds set forth in Section 4.3 and had access to or been furnished with sufficient facts and information to evaluate an investment in the Company and a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Company and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Purchaser. The Purchaser acknowledges that in addition to the risks summarized in Schedule C, there is a risk that the public offering contemplated by the Registration Statement will not be consummated, that the Company may abandon the Registration Statement for any reason, including without limitation, market conditions or any decision by the lead underwriter described therein, which decision is in the sole and absolute discretion of such underwriter and further that the information in such Registration Statement is stale. The Purchaser acknowledges it would purchase the securities to be issued by the Company under this Agreement even if the Company does not complete the public offering described in the Registration Statement.

(g) Solicitation. As of each Closing Date, the Purchaser has conducted its solicitation of investment of its limited liability company interests in compliance with Regulation D, Section 506(c), and each investor in the Purchaser is an accredited investor.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that the representations contained in Section 3.2 shall not modify, amend, or affect the Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement or any representations and warranties contained in any other Transaction Document or any other document or instrument executed and/or delivered in connection with this Agreement or the consummation of the transaction contemplated hereunder.

ARTICLE IV
OTHER AGREEMENTS OF THE PARTIES

4.1 Transfer Restrictions.

(a) The Securities may only be disposed of in compliance with state and federal securities laws. In connection with any transfer of any of the Securities other than pursuant to an effective registration statement or Rule 144, to the Company or to an Affiliate of the Purchaser, the Company may require the transferor thereof to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel selected by the transferor and reasonably acceptable to the Company, the form and substance of which opinion shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that such transfer does not require registration of such transferred Securities under the Securities Act.

(b) Legend on Share Certificates. The Purchaser agrees to the imprinting, so long as is required by this Section 4.1, of a legend on any of the certificates representing the Securities in the following form:

NEITHER THESE SECURITIES NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES MAY BE CONVERTED HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, TRANSFERRED, ASSIGNED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT WITH RESPECT TO SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

(c) The legends set forth in Section 4.1(b) shall, to the fullest extent permitted, be removed (i) while a registration statement covering the resale of such security is effective under the Securities Act, (ii) following any sale of the Securities pursuant to Rule 144, (iii) if the Securities are eligible for sale under Rule 144, without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with the current public information required under Rule 144 as to the Securities and without volume or manner-of-sale restrictions, or (iv) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the SEC).

(d) The Purchaser agrees that it will sell any Securities only pursuant to either: (i) the registration requirements of the Securities Act, including any applicable prospectus delivery requirements; or (ii) an exemption therefrom, and that if the Securities are sold pursuant to any such effective registration statement, they will be sold in compliance with the plan of distribution set forth therein, and acknowledges that the removal of the restrictive legend from certificates representing the Securities set forth in this Section 4.1 is predicated upon the Company’s reliance upon this understanding.

4.2 Non-Public Information.

The Company may provide information to the Purchaser that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information. If the Company provides any such information, then the Company will identify such information, it being acknowledged that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are material non-public information. The Purchaser shall not use such information in violation of applicable law or in a manner that would require the Company to furnish such information in a file with the SEC under Regulation FD.

4.3 Use of Proceeds.

The Company will use the proceeds from this transaction primarily for pharmaceutical development, working capital, and debt servicing.

4.4 Form D; Blue Sky Filings.

The Company shall take such action as the Company shall reasonably determine is necessary to obtain an exemption for, or to qualify the Shares for, sale to the Purchaser at each Closing under applicable securities or “Blue Sky” laws of the states of the United States.

4.5 Replacement of Certificates.

If any certificate or instrument evidencing the Securities is mutilated, lost, stolen, or destroyed, the Company shall issue or cause to be issued in exchange and substitution for and upon cancellation thereof (in the case of mutilation), or in lieu of and substitution therefor, a new certificate or instrument, but only upon receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of such loss, theft, or destruction. The applicant for a new certificate or instrument under such circumstances shall also pay any reasonable third-party costs (including customary indemnity) associated with the issuance of such replacement Securities and may be required to provide an indemnity in favor of the Company.

SCHEDULE C

Certain Additional Risk Factors

In addition to the risk factors summarized in the Company’s SEC Filings, you should consider the following:

An investment in the Securities involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the material risks summarized in the Company’s SEC Filings, together with all of the other information provided to you in this Agreement, before making an investment decision. If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition, or results of operations could suffer. In that case, the trading price of our shares of Common Stock could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment. You should read the section entitled “Forward-Looking Statements” included in our SEC Filings for a discussion of what types of statements are forward-looking statements, as well as the significance of such statements.

The Stated Dividend of the Shares is not a Guarantee and may not be paid.

The terms of the Preferred Stock provide for an 8% annual dividend. Such dividend is not a guaranty and is paid only to the extent that the Company has sufficient earnings and profits. The Company does not expect to be able to make any such dividend payment. Accordingly, the dividend yield for the Preferred Stock is only a projection and we cannot assure you that if you purchase the Securities you will receive all or any of such dividend amount.

The terms of this transaction and the purchase price for the Securities were not independently valued and may not be indicative of the future price of Common Stock.

Our board of directors determined the terms and conditions of this transaction, including the purchase price of the Securities. The purchase price of the Securities was not necessarily determined to be equivalent to the market price of the Common Stock on the OTCQB or the fair value of the Company. If you purchase the Securities, you may not be able to sell any of the Securities at or above the purchase price. The trading price of the Common Stock will be determined by the marketplace and will be influenced by many factors outside of the Company’s control, prevailing interest rates, investor perceptions, securities analyst research reports and general industry, geopolitical, and economic conditions. Publicly traded stocks, including stocks of pharmaceutical and nutraceutical companies, often experience substantial market price volatility. These market fluctuations might not be related to the operating performance of particular companies whose shares are traded. Accordingly, we cannot assure you that if you purchase the Securities you will later be able to sell any of the Securities at or above the purchase price.

The Securities are “Restricted Securities” under the Securities Act and there is no assurance they will be registered.

The Securities will be restricted securities under United States federal and applicable state securities laws. The Securities will be restricted securities unless and until the Securities are registered. Restricted securities may not be transferred, sold, or otherwise disposed of in the United States, except as permitted under United States federal and state securities laws, pursuant to registration or an exemption therefrom. You should be prepared to hold the Securities for an indefinite period.

The Securities may not be sold unless, at the time of such intended sale, there is a current registration statement covering the resale of the securities or there exists an exemption from registration under the Securities Act, and such securities have been registered, qualified, or deemed to be exempt under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws in the state of residence of the seller or in the state where sales are being effected.

If there is not an effective registration statement covering the resale of the Securities, you will be precluded from disposing of such shares unless such shares may become eligible to be disposed of under the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act without restriction. If the Securities are not registered for resale under the Securities Act, or exempt therefrom, and not registered or qualified under applicable securities or “blue sky” laws, or deemed exempt therefrom, the value of the Securities will be greatly reduced.

Insufficient Capital

There can be no assurance or guarantee that the Company will raise sufficient capital, through this transaction or otherwise, to meet the Company’s business objectives or fund its operations. The audited financial statements of the Company include a going concern qualification and the Company has significant liquidity issues, including that described in the SEC Filings. There can be no assurance that other obligations that are necessary for the Company will not be incurred or that the budgeted expenditures will not be subject to any material increase.
