R E C I T A L S

As of December 31, 2015, the BDI-747/1 breath/alcohol ignition interlock device was “approved” by ten states, including, without limitation, California, with applications for additional state approvals pending. In states where the Device is approved as a breath alcohol ignition interlock device (“BAID”), BDIC leases these devices to offenders depending upon the sentence received by such offender. In some states, BDIC leases, installs and supports these devices directly; in other states, BDIC sells distributorships to authorized distributors allowing the distributor to lease, install, service, remove and support said devices;

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Loan Agreement, in consideration of TDG agreeing to extend credit to BDIC in connection with the Loan, BDIC agrees to enter into this Agreement with TDG to set forth the terms under which BDIC is issuing shares of its common stock.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual conditions and agreements set forth in this Agreement, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, BDIC and TDG hereby agree to enter into this Agreement as follows:

To the extent permitted, the Shares will be allocated a cost-basis equal to the highest trading price of the Common Stock over the 52-week period immediately preceding the issuance date, or at the highest cost-basis permitted under the law.

b) At the Closing:
(i) The Company and the Purchaser shall execute the Loan Agreement and this Agreement, which shall serve as evidence of ownership of the Shares, free from restrictions on transfer except as set forth in this Agreement. Subsequent to the Closing, but as expeditiously as possible, the Company will issue a stock certificate to the Purchaser to evidence the Shares.
(ii) The Purchaser shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price by loaning the Company the funds set forth in the Loan Agreement.
3. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS BY PURCHASER: The Purchaser hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
a) Purchase for Own Account. Purchaser represents that it is acquiring the Shares solely for its own account and beneficial interest for investment and not for sale or with a view to distribution of the Shares or any part thereof, has no present intention of selling (in connection with a distribution or otherwise), granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same, and does not presently have reason to anticipate a change in such intention.
b) Ability to Bear Economic Risk. Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Shares involves a high degree of risk, and represents that it is able, without materially impairing its financial condition, to hold the Shares for an indefinite period of time and to suffer a complete loss of his investment.
c) Access to Information. The Purchaser acknowledges that it’s members and managers, as applicable, have been furnished with such financial and other information concerning the Company, the directors and officers of the Company, and the business and proposed business of the Company as the Purchaser considers necessary in connection with the Purchaser’s investment in the Shares. As a result, the Purchaser is thoroughly familiar with the proposed business, operations, properties and financial condition of the Company and has discussed with officers of the Company any questions the Purchaser may have had with respect thereto. The Purchaser understands:
(i) The risks involved in this investment, including the speculative nature of the investment;
(ii) The financial hazards involved in this investment, including the risk of losing the Purchaser’s entire investment;
(iii) The lack of liquidity and restrictions on transfers of the Shares; and
(iv) The tax consequences of this investment.
The Purchaser has consulted with the Purchaser’s own legal, accounting, tax, investment and other advisers with respect to the tax treatment of an investment by the Purchaser in the Shares and the merits and risks of an investment in the Shares.

d) Shares Part of Private Placement. The Purchaser has been advised that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), or qualified under the securities law of any state, on the ground, among others, that no distribution or public offering of the Shares is to be effected and the Shares will be issued by the Company in connection with a transaction that does not involve any public offering within the meaning of section 4(a)(2) of the Act and/or Regulation D as promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission under the Act, and under any applicable state blue sky authority. The Purchaser understands that the Company is relying in part on the Purchaser’s representations as set forth herein for purposes of claiming such exemptions and that the basis for such exemptions may not be present if, notwithstanding the Purchaser’s representations, the Purchaser has in mind merely acquiring the Shares for resale on the occurrence or nonoccurrence of some predetermined event. The Purchaser has no such intention.
e) Further Limitations on Disposition. Purchaser further acknowledges that the Shares are restricted securities under Rule 144 of the Act, and, therefore, if the Company, in its sole discretion, chooses to issue any certificates reflecting the ownership interest in the Shares, those certificates will contain a restrictive legend substantially similar to the following:
THESE SECURITIES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “ACT”). THEY MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT AS TO THE SECURITIES UNDER THE ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE COMPANY THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.
Without in any way limiting the representations set forth above, Purchaser further agrees not to make any disposition of all or any portion of the Shares unless and until:
(i) There is then in effect a Registration Statement under the Act covering such proposed disposition and such disposition is made in accordance with such Registration Statement; or
(ii) Purchaser shall have obtained the consent of the Company and notified the Company of the proposed disposition and shall have furnished the Company with a detailed statement of the circumstances surrounding the proposed disposition, and if reasonably requested by the Company, Purchaser shall have furnished the Company with an opinion of counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the Company, that such disposition will not require registration under the Act or any applicable state securities laws.
Notwithstanding the provisions of subparagraphs (i) and (ii) above, no such registration statement or opinion of counsel shall be necessary for a transfer by such Purchaser to a partner (or retired partner) of Purchaser, or transfers by gift, will or intestate succession to any spouse or lineal descendants or ancestors, if all transferees agree in writing to be subject to the terms hereof to the same extent as if they were Purchasers hereunder as long as the consent of the Company is obtained.
f) Accredited Investor Status. The Purchaser is an accredited investor, and has truthfully completed the Accredited Investor Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit A.
g) Purchaser Authorization. The Purchaser, if not an individual, is empowered and duly authorized to enter into this Agreement under any governing document, partnership agreement, trust instrument, pension plan, charter, certificate of incorporation, bylaw provision or the like; this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Purchaser enforceable against the Purchaser in accordance with its terms; and the person signing this Agreement on behalf of the Purchaser is empowered and duly authorized to do so by the governing document or trust instrument, pension plan, charter, certificate of incorporation, bylaw provision, board of directors or stockholder resolution, or the like.

h) No Backup Withholding. The Social Security Number or taxpayer identification shown in this Agreement is correct, and the Purchaser is not subject to backup withholding because (i) the Purchaser has not been notified that he or she is subject to backup withholding as a result of a failure to report all interest and dividends or (ii) the Internal Revenue Service has notified the Purchaser that he or she is no longer subject to backup withholding.
4. REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS BY COMPANY: The Company hereby represents, warrants and agrees as follows:
a) Authority of Company. The Company has all requisite authority to execute and deliver this Agreement and to carry out and perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement.

The issuance of the Shares will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable, will not violate any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal, or any other rights granted by the Company, and will be issued in compliance with all applicable federal and state securities laws, and will be free of any liens or encumbrances, other than any liens or encumbrances created by or imposed upon the Purchaser through no action of the Company; provided, however, that the Shares may be subject to restrictions on transfer under state and/or federal securities laws as set forth herein or as otherwise required by such laws at the time the transfer is proposed.
c) Governmental Consents.
