(a)           Acceptance or Rejection. Subject to full, faithful and punctual performance and discharge by the Company of all of its duties, obligations and responsibilities as set forth in this Agreement and any other agreement entered into between the Subscriber and the Company relating to this subscription (collectively, the "Transaction Documents"), the Subscriber shall be legally bound to purchase the Units pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.  For the avoidance of doubt, upon the occurrence of the failure by the Company to fully, faithfully and punctually perform and discharge any of its duties, obligations and responsibilities as set forth in any of the Transaction Documents, which shall have been performed or otherwise discharged prior to the Closing, the Subscriber may, on or prior to the Closing (as defined below), at its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to purchase the Units and provide instructions to the escrow agent under the Escrow Agreement to receive the full and immediate refund of the Aggregate Purchase Price. The Subscriber understands and agrees that the Company reserves the right to reject this subscription for Units in whole or part in any order at any time prior to the Closing for any reason, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s prior receipt of notice of acceptance of the Subscriber’s subscription.  In the event the Closing does not take place because of (i) the rejection of subscription for Units by the Company; or (ii) the election not to purchase the Shares by the Subscriber; or (iii) failure to effectuate the Initial Closing on or prior to August 31, 2011 (unless extended in the discretion of the Board of Directors) (the “Initial Closing Date”)  for any reason or no reason, this Agreement and any other Transaction Documents shall thereafter be terminated and have no force or effect, and the parties shall take all steps, including the execution of instructions to the escrow agent, to ensure that the Aggregate Purchase Price held in accordance with the Escrow Agreement shall promptly be returned or caused to be returned to the Subscriber without interest thereon or deduction therefrom.

 

(b)           Closing.  The closing of the purchase and sale of the Units hereunder (the “Closing”) shall take place at the offices of Sichenzia Ross Friedman Ference, LLP, 61 Broadway, 32nd Floor, New York, NY 10006 or such other place as determined by the Company and may take place in one of more closings, provided the Minimum Offering (as defined in Section 5(h) below) has been reached.  Closings shall take place on a Business Day promptly following the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Section 7 below, as determined by the Company (the “Closing Date”). “Business Day” shall mean from the hours of 9:00 a.m. (Eastern Time) through 5:00 p.m. (Eastern Time) of a day other than a Saturday, Sunday or other day on which commercial banks in New York, New York are authorized or required to be closed.

If this Agreement is accepted by the Company, the Company is entitled to treat the Aggregate Purchase Price received as an interest free loan to the Company until such time as the Subscription is accepted.

 

 

(d)           Favored Nations Provision.  Other than in connection with (i) full or partial consideration in connection with a strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscribers, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with strategic license agreements and other partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not primarily for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights equal to or greater than those granted to the Subscribers, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans that have been approved by a majority of the independent members of the board of directors of the Company or in existence as such plans are constituted on the date of this Agreement, (iv) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement on the terms in effect on the Closing Date,  (v) as a result of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of the Preferred Stock issued pursuant to this Agreement, (vi) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to consultants and service providers approved by a majority in amount of the Shares sold in the Offering, including the Preferred Stock, voting as a group, held as of the date of approval (“Subscriber Consent”), and (v) any and all securities required to be assumed by the Company by the terms thereof as a result of any of the foregoing even if issued by a predecessor acquired in connection with a business combination, merger or share exchange (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (v) are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the Final Closing Date of the Offering with respect to the Shares and Preferred Shares (the “Expiration Date”), the Company shall agree to or issue any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than $0.40 per share, being the per share price of Common Stock hereunder (disregarding any value attributable to the Warrants) or as in effect at such time, or if less than the Warrant exercise price in effect at such time, without the consent of the Subscribers (the “Lower Price Issuance”), then the Company shall issue such additional number of Shares or Preferred Shares, as the case may be, and the Warrant exercise price shall automatically be reduced and the number of Warrant Shares increased to reflect such other lower price for the Shares and if additional Shares of Common Stock are required to be issued, the additional number of Warrants that would have been issuable on the basis of the Warrants issued pursuant to this Agreement (i.e., 50%).  The average Purchase Price of the Shares (or the Preferred Shares, as the case may be) of Common Stock and average exercise price in relation to the Warrant Shares shall be calculated separately for the Shares and Warrant Shares.  Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.0001 per share of Common Stock.  The rights of Subscribers set forth in this Section 2(d) are in addition to any other rights the Subscribers have pursuant to this Agreement or the Warrants, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscribers and Company are parties.  Notwithstanding anything herein or in any other agreement to the contrary, the Company shall only be required to make a single adjustment with respect to any Lower Price Issuance, regardless of the existence of multiple basis therefore.

 

(e)           Maximum Exercise of Rights.   In the event the exercise of the rights described in Section 2  would or could result in the issuance of an amount of Common Stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to Subscribers calculated in the manner as described in Section 2(f) of this Agreement, then the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to Subscribers will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as Subscribers are able to beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the applicable maximum amount set forth calculated in the manner described in Section 2(f) of this Agreement and notifies the Company accordingly.

 

(f)           Maximum Conversion.  A Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert Preferred Shares or Warrants nor may the Company make any payment for a Lower Priced Issuance, or otherwise, by delivery of shares of Common Stock which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Subscriber and its Affiliates on a payment date, and (ii) the number of Preferred Shares Warrant Shares issuable upon the conversion of the Warrant with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a calculation date, which would result in beneficial ownership by Subscriber and its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such date.  For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be limited to aggregate beneficial ownership of only 4.99% and aggregate beneficial ownership by the Subscriber may exceed 4.99%.  The Subscriber may increase the permitted beneficial ownership amount up to 9.99% upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company.  Subscriber may allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned by Subscriber shall be included in the 4.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above 4.99%.

 

 

(g)           Form S-8 restriction.  Approval by a majority in amount of the Shares sold in the Offering, including the Preferred Stock, voting as a group, held as of the date of approval, as used herein, shall mean “Subscriber Consent”. Prior to the period ending eighteen (18) months following the Final Closing Date (the “Expiration Date”), the Company agrees not to file any registration statement on Form S-8 with the Securities and Exchange Commission without Subscriber Consent.

 

(h)           Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock.  In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Purchase Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Purchase Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Purchase Price then in effect. The Purchase Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein. The number of Shares or Preferred Shares, as the case may be and Warrants that the Subscriber shall thereafter, be issued and obtain on the exercise hereof, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Purchase Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Purchase Price in effect on the date of such exercise.

 

(i)           Certificate as to Adjustments.  In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the Shares or Preferred Shares issuable hereunder or shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and of the Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Purchase Price and the number of Shares or Preferred Shares to be received and shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of the Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided herein. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Subscriber and of the Warrant and any Warrant Agent of the Company.

 

 

The Subscriber hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents, warrants and covenants to the Company, as follows:

 

(a)           The Subscriber has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement, the execution and delivery of which has been duly authorized, if applicable, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Subscriber, except as may be limited by bankruptcy, reorganization, insolvency, moratorium and similar laws of general application relating to or affecting the enforcement of rights of creditors, and except as enforceability of the obligations hereunder are subject to general principles of equity (regardless of whether such enforceability is considered in a proceeding in equity or law).

 

(b)           The Subscriber acknowledges its understanding that the Offering and sale of the Securities is intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and the provisions of Regulation D promulgated thereunder (“Regulation D”).  In furtherance thereof, the Subscriber represents and warrants to the Company and its affiliates as follows:

 

 

(i)           The Subscriber realizes that the basis for the exemption from registration may not be available if, notwithstanding the Subscriber’s representations contained herein, the Subscriber is merely acquiring the Securities for a fixed or determinable period in the future, or for a market rise, or for sale if the market does not rise. The Subscriber does not have any such intention.

 

(ii)           The Subscriber realizes that the basis for exemption would not be available if the Offering is part of a plan or scheme to evade registration provisions of the Securities Act or any applicable state or federal securities laws.

 

(iii)           The Subscriber is acquiring the Securities solely for the Subscriber’s own beneficial account, for investment purposes, and not with a view towards, or resale in connection with, any distribution of the Securities.

 

(iv)           The Subscriber has the financial ability to bear the economic risk of the Subscriber’s investment, has adequate means for providing for its current needs and contingencies, and has no need for liquidity with respect to an investment in the Company.

 

(v)           The Subscriber and the Subscriber’s attorney, accountant, purchaser representative and/or tax advisor, if any (collectively, the “Advisors”) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as to be capable of evaluating the merits and risks of a prospective investment in the Securities. If other than an individual, the Subscriber also represents it has not been organized solely for the purpose of acquiring the Securities.

 

(vi)           The Subscriber (together with its Advisors, if any) has received all documents requested by the Subscriber, if any, has carefully reviewed them and understands the information contained therein, prior to the execution of this Agreement.

 

(c)           The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, sub-agents or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations involved in this investment. The Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its Advisors. Each Advisor, if any, has disclosed to the Subscriber in writing (a copy of which is annexed to this Agreement) the specific details of any and all past, present or future relationships, actual or contemplated, between the Advisor and the Company or any affiliate or sub-agent thereof.

 

(d)           The Subscriber has carefully considered the potential risks relating to the Company and a purchase of the Securities, and fully understands that the Securities are a speculative investment that involves a high degree of risk of loss of the Subscriber’s entire investment. Among other things, the Subscriber has carefully considered each of the risks described under the heading “Risk Factors” in the Company’s SEC Filings, which risk factors are incorporated herein by reference, and any additional disclosures in the nature of Risk Factors described herein, including, without limitation, the additional disclosures in Section 3(u), below.

 

 (e)           The Subscriber will not sell or otherwise transfer any Securities without registration under the Securities Act or an exemption therefrom, and fully understands and agrees that the Subscriber must bear the economic risk of its purchase because, among other reasons, the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold, pledged, assigned or otherwise disposed of unless they are subsequently registered under the Securities Act and under the applicable securities laws of such states, or an exemption from such registration is available.  In particular, the Subscriber is aware that the Securities are “restricted securities,” as such term is defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be sold pursuant to Rule 144 unless all of the conditions of Rule 144 are met. The Subscriber also understands that the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities on behalf of the Subscriber or to assist the Subscriber in complying with any exemption from registration under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws. The Subscriber understands that any sales or transfers of the Securities are further restricted by state securities laws and the provisions of this Agreement.

 

(f)           No oral or written representations or warranties have been made, or information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, by the Company or any of its officers, employees, agents, sub-agents, affiliates, advisors or subsidiaries in connection with the Offering, other than any representations of the Company contained herein, and in subscribing for the Units, the Subscriber is not relying upon any representations other than those contained herein.

 

 

(g)           The Subscriber’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily marketable is not disproportionate to the Subscriber’s net worth, and an investment in the Securities will not cause such overall commitment to become excessive.

 

(h)           The Subscriber understands and agrees that the certificates for the Securities shall bear substantially the following legend until (i) such Securities shall have been registered under the Securities Act and effectively disposed of in accordance with a registration statement that has been declared effective or (ii) in the opinion of counsel for the Company, such Securities may be sold without registration under the Securities Act, as well as any applicable “blue sky” or state securities laws:

 

THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  SUCH SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT PURPOSES AND MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED IN THE ABSENCE OF AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FILED BY THE ISSUER WITH THE U.S. SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION COVERING SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR AN OPINION OF COUNSEL SATISFACTORY TO THE ISSUER THAT SUCH REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.

 

(i)           Neither the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) nor any state securities commission has approved the Securities or passed upon or endorsed the merits of the Offering. There is no government or other insurance covering any of the Securities.

 

(j)           The Subscriber and its Advisors, if any, have had a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from a person or persons acting on behalf of the Company concerning the Offering and the business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects of the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of the Subscriber and its Advisors, if any.

 

 

(ii)           The Subscriber represents and warrants that: (i) the Subscriber was contacted regarding the sale of the Securities by the Company (or an authorized agent or representative thereof) with whom the Subscriber had a prior substantial pre-existing relationship  and (ii) no Securities were offered or sold to it by means of any form of general solicitation or general advertising, and in connection therewith, the Subscriber did not (A) receive or review any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in a newspaper or magazine or similar media or broadcast over television or radio, whether closed circuit, or generally available; or (B) attend any seminar meeting or industry investor conference whose attendees were invited by any general solicitation or general advertising; or (C) observe any website or filing of the Company with the SEC in which any offering of securities by the Company was described and as a result learned of any offering of securities by the Company.

 

(l)           The Subscriber has taken no action that would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, finders’ fees or the like relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

 

(m)           The Subscriber is not relying on the Company or any of its employees, agents, or advisors with respect to the legal, tax, economic and related considerations of an investment in the Shares, and the Subscriber has relied on the advice of, or has consulted with, only its own Advisors.

 

(n)           The Subscriber acknowledges that any estimates or forward-looking statements or projections furnished by the Company to the Subscriber were prepared by the management of the Company in good faith, but that the attainment of any such projections, estimates or forward-looking statements cannot be guaranteed by the Company or its management and should not be relied upon.

 

 

(o)           No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Subscriber or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the Offering that are in any way inconsistent with the information contained herein.

 

(p)           (For ERISA plans only) The fiduciary of the ERISA plan (the “Plan”) represents that such fiduciary has been informed of and understands the Company’s investment objectives, policies and strategies, and that the decision to invest “plan assets” (as such term is defined in ERISA) in the Company is consistent with the provisions of ERISA that require diversification of plan assets and impose other fiduciary responsibilities. The Subscriber or Plan fiduciary (i) is responsible for the decision to invest in the Company; (ii) is independent of the Company and any of its affiliates; (iii) is qualified to make such investment decision; and (iv) in making such decision, the Subscriber or Plan fiduciary has not relied primarily on any advice or recommendation of the Company or any of its affiliates.

 

(q)           This Agreement is not enforceable by the Subscriber unless it has been accepted by the Company, and the Subscriber acknowledges and agrees that the Company reserves the right to reject any subscription for any reason.

 

(r)           The Subscriber will indemnify and hold harmless the Company and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors, affiliates and shareholders, and each other person, if any, who controls any of the foregoing from and against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all fees, costs and expenses whatsoever reasonably incurred in investigating, preparing or defending against any claim, lawsuit, administrative proceeding or investigation whether commenced or threatened) (a “Loss”) arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Subscriber contained herein or in any document furnished by the Subscriber to the Company in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the Subscriber to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Subscriber herein or therein; provided, however, that the Subscriber shall not be liable for any Loss that in the aggregate exceeds the Subscriber’s Aggregate Purchase Price tendered hereunder.

 

(s)           The Subscriber is, and on each date on which the Subscriber continues to own restricted Securities from the Offering will be, an “Accredited Investor” as defined in Rule 501(a) under the Securities Act. In general, an “Accredited Investor” is deemed to be an institution with assets in excess of $5,000,000 or individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 (excluding such person’s residence) or annual income exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 jointly with his or her spouse.

 

(t)           The Subscriber, 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 Offering, and has so evaluated the merits and risks of such investment. The Subscriber has not authorized any person or entity to act as its Purchaser Representative (as that term is defined in Regulation D of the General Rules and Regulations under the Securities Act) in connection with the Offering. The Subscriber 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.

 

(u)           The Subscriber has reviewed, or had an opportunity to review, all of the SEC Filings (as defined below), and all “Risk Factors” and “Forward Looking Statements” disclaimers contained therein.  In addition, the Subscriber has reviewed and acknowledges it has such knowledge, sophistication, and experience in securities matters, and understands the following additional Risk Factor related to the Company:

 

 

 

The Company expects to utilize various techniques such as non-deal road shows and investor relations campaigns in order to create investor awareness for the Company.  These campaigns may include personal, video and telephone conferences with investors and prospective investors in which our business practices are described.  The Company may provide compensation to investor relations firms and pay for newsletters, websites, mailings and email campaigns that are produced by third-parties based upon publicly-available information concerning the Company.  The Company will not be responsible for the content of analyst reports and other writings and communications by investor relations firms not authored by the Company or from publicly available information.  The Company does not intend to review or approve the content of such analysts’ reports or other materials based upon analysts’ own research or methods.  Investor relations firms should generally disclose when they are compensated for their efforts, but whether such disclosure is made or complete is not under our control.   In addition, investors in the Company may, from time to time, also take steps to encourage investor awareness through similar activities that may be undertaken at the expense of the investors.  Investor awareness activities may also be suspended or discontinued which may impact the trading market our common stock.

 

 The SEC and FINRA enforce various statutes and regulations intended to prevent manipulative or deceptive devices in connection with the purchase or sale of any security and carefully scrutinize trading patterns and company news and other communications for false or misleading information, particularly in cases where the hallmarks of “pump and dump” activities may exist, such as rapid share price increases or decreases.  We, and our shareholders may be subjected to enhanced regulatory scrutiny due to the small number of holders who initially will own the registered shares of our common stock publicly available for resale, and the limited trading markets in which such shares may be offered or sold which have often been associated with improper activities concerning penny-stocks, such as the OTC Bulletin Board or the OTCQB Marketplace (Pink OTC) or pink sheets.  Until such time as the common stock sold in the Offering is registered and until such time as our restricted shares are registered or available for resale under Rule 144, there will continue to be a small percentage of shares held by a small number of investors, many of whom acquired such shares in privately negotiated purchase and sale transactions, that will constitute the entire available trading market.  The Supreme Court has stated that manipulative action is a term of art connoting intentional or willful conduct designed to deceive or defraud investors by controlling or artificially affecting the price of securities.  Often times, manipulation is associated by regulators with forces that upset the supply and demand factors that would normally determine trading prices.  Since a small percentage of the outstanding common stock of the Company will initially be available for trading, held by a small number of individuals or entities, the supply of our common stock for sale will be extremely limited for an indeterminate amount of time, which could result in higher bids, asks or sales prices than would otherwise exist.  Securities regulators have often cited factors such as thinly-traded markets, small numbers of holders, and awareness campaigns as hallmarks  of claims of price manipulation and other violations of law when combined with manipulative trading, such as wash sales, matched orders or other manipulative trading timed to coincide with false or touting press releases.  There can be no assurance that the Company’s or third-parties’ activities, or the small number of potential sellers or small percentage of stock in the “float,” or determinations by purchasers or holders as to when or under what circumstances or at what prices they may be willing to buy or sell stock will not artificially impact (or would be claimed by regulators to have affected) the normal supply and demand factors that determine the price of the stock.

 

 

Units may be purchased by Placement Agents, if any, and their officers, employees and affiliates, and by the Company’s officers, directors, employees and affiliates (including current stockholders and their respective affiliates) and such purchases shall be applied in reaching the Minimum Offering.  Accordingly, investors in the Offering should understand and recognize that not all subscribers will necessarily have made an independent investment decision with no affiliation with either the Company or the Placement Agents.

 

 

The Company hereby acknowledges, agrees with and represents, warrants and covenants to the Subscriber, as follows:

 

 

(a)           Organization and Qualification.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the state of Nevada.  The Company is duly qualified to do business, and is in good standing in the states required due to (a) the ownership or lease of real or personal property for use in the operation of the Company's business or (b) the nature of the business conducted by the Company.  The Company has all requisite power, right and authority to own, operate and lease its properties and assets, to carry on its business as now conducted, to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party, and to carry out the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby.  All actions on the part of the Company and its officers and directors necessary for the authorization, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, and the performance of all of the Company's obligations under this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents have been taken or will be taken prior to the Closing.  This Agreement has been, and the other Transaction Documents to which the Company is a party on the Closing will be, duly executed and delivered by the Company, and this Agreement is, and each of the other Transaction Documents to which it is a party on the Closing will be, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

 

(b)           Issuance of Securities.  The Securities to be issued to the Subscriber pursuant to this Agreement, when issued and delivered in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, will be duly and validly issued and will be fully paid and non-assessable.

 

(c)           Authorization; Enforcement.  The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents by the Company, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, will not (a) constitute a violation (with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both) of any provision of any law or any judgment, decree, order, regulation or rule of any court, agency or other governmental authority applicable to the Company, (b) require any consent, approval or authorization of, or declaration, filing or registration with, any person, (c) result in a default (with or without the giving of notice or lapse of time, or both) under, acceleration or termination of, or the creation in any party of the right to accelerate, terminate, modify or cancel, any agreement, lease, note or other restriction, encumbrance, obligation or liability to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound or to which any assets of the Company are subject, (d) result in the creation of any lien or encumbrance upon the assets of the Company, or upon any Shares or other securities of the Company, (e) conflict with or result in a breach of or constitute a default under any provision of those certain articles of incorporation or those certain bylaws of the Company, or (f) invalidate or adversely affect any permit, license, authorization or status used in the conduct of the business of the Company.

 

(d)           SEC Filings. The Company is subject to, and in full compliance with, the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). The Company has made available to each Subscriber through the EDGAR system true and complete copies of each of the Company’s Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Current Reports on Form 8-K, in each case filed since June 27, 2011 (collectively, the “SEC Filings”), and all such SEC Filings are incorporated herein by reference.  The SEC Filings, when they were filed with the SEC (or, if any amendment with respect to any such document was filed, when such amendment was filed), complied in all material respects with the applicable requirements of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder and did not, as of such date, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. All reports and statements required to be filed by the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act have been filed, together with all exhibits required to be filed therewith. The Company and each of its direct and indirect subsidiaries, if any (collectively, the “Subsidiaries”), are engaged in all material respects only in the business described in the SEC Filings, and the SEC Filings contain a complete and accurate description in all material respects of the business of the Company and the Subsidiaries.

 

(e)           No Financial Advisor. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Subscriber is acting solely in the capacity of an arm’s length purchaser with respect to the Securities and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company further acknowledges that the Subscriber is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity) with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any advice given by the Subscriber or any of its representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is merely incidental to the Subscriber’s purchase of the Units. The Company further represents to the Subscriber that the Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the transactions contemplated hereby by the Company and its representatives.

 

 

(f)           Indemnification.  The Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Subscriber and, where applicable, its directors, officers, employees, agents, advisors and shareholders, from and against any and all Loss arising out of or based upon any representation or warranty of the Company contained herein or in any document furnished by the Company to the Subscriber in connection herewith being untrue in any material respect or any breach or failure by the Company to comply with any covenant or agreement made by the Company to the Subscriber in connection therewith; provided, however, that the Company’s liability shall not exceed the Subscriber’s Aggregate Purchase Price tendered hereunder.

 

(g)           Capitalization and Additional Issuances.  The authorized and outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis as of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date (not including the Securities) are set forth on Schedule 4(g).  Except as set forth on Schedule 4(g), there are no options, warrants, or rights to subscribe to, securities, rights, understandings or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for or giving any right to subscribe for any shares of capital stock or other equity interest of the Company or any of the Subsidiaries.  The only officer, director, employee and consultant stock option or stock incentive plan or similar plan currently in effect or contemplated by the Company is described on Schedule 4(g).  There are no outstanding agreements or preemptive or similar rights affecting the Company's Common Stock.

 

(h)           Private Placements.  Assuming the accuracy of the Subscriber’s representations and warranties set forth in Section 3, no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Securities by the Company to the Subscribers as contemplated hereby.

 

(j)           Investment Company.  The Company is not, and is not an affiliate of, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Shares will not be or be an affiliate of, an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.  The Company shall conduct its business in a manner so that it will not become subject to the Investment Company Act.

 

 

(a)           Furnishing of Information.  As long as any Subscriber owns Securities, the Company covenants to timely file (or obtain extensions in respect thereof and file within the applicable grace period) all reports required to be filed by the Company after the date hereof pursuant to the Exchange Act.  As long as any Subscriber owns Securities, if the Company is not required to file reports pursuant to the Exchange Act, it will prepare and furnish to the Subscribers and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) under the Securities Act such information as is required for the Subscribers to sell the Securities under Rule 144.  The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such person to sell such Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions proved by Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

 

(b)           Shareholder Rights Plan.  No claim will be made or enforced by the Company or, to the knowledge of the Company, any other person that any Subscriber is an “Acquiring Person” under any shareholder rights plan or similar plan or arrangement in effect or hereafter adopted by the Company, or that any Subscriber could be deemed to trigger the provisions of any such plan or arrangement, by virtue of receiving Securities under the Transaction Documents or under any other agreement between the Company and the Subscribers.

 

(c)           Securities Laws Disclosure; Publicity.  The Company and each Subscriber shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby, and neither the Company nor any Subscriber shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the Company, with respect to any press release of any Subscriber, or without the prior consent of each Subscriber, with respect to any press release of the Company, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not publicly disclose the name of any Subscriber, or include the name of any Subscriber in any filing with the SEC or any regulatory agency, without the prior written consent of such Subscriber, except (i) as required by federal securities law in connection with the registration statement contemplated by the Registration Rights Agreement and (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required by law.

 

(d)           Integration.  The Company shall not, and shall use its best efforts to ensure that no affiliate of the Company shall, after the date hereof, sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any security that would be integrated with the offer or sale of the Securities in a manner that would require the registration under the Securities Act of the sale of the Securities to the Subscribers.

 

 

(e)           Reservation of Securities.  The Company shall maintain a reserve from its duly authorized shares of Common Stock for issuance pursuant to the Transaction Documents in such amount as may be required to fulfill its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents.  In the event that at any time the then authorized shares of Common Stock are insufficient for the Company to satisfy its obligations in full under the Transaction Documents, the Company shall promptly take such actions as may be required to increase the number of authorized shares.  The Subscribers acknowledge that certain Subscribers shall be entitled to subscribe for the Preferred Shares.  The Preferred Shares shall be equivalent in all respects to the Shares, and shall be convertible into Shares, other than a liquidation preference of $0.0001 per share upon a liquidation or dissolution of the Company.

 

(f)           Reimbursement.  If any Subscriber or any of its affiliates or any officer, director, partner, controlling person, employee or agent of a Subscriber or any of its affiliates (a “Related Person”) becomes involved in any capacity in any proceeding brought by or against any person in connection with or as a result of any misrepresentation, breach or inaccuracy of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement made by the Company in any Transaction Documents, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless such Subscriber or Related Person for its reasonable legal and other expenses (including the costs of any investigation, preparation and travel) and for any losses incurred in connection therewith, as such expenses or losses are incurred, excluding only losses that result directly from such Subscribers’ or Related Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.  The indemnification obligations of the Company under this paragraph shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have and shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of any successors, assigns, heirs and personal representatives of the Subscribers and any such Related Persons.  The Company also agrees that neither the Subscribers nor any Related Persons shall have any liability to the Company or any person asserting claims on behalf of or in right of the Company in connection with or as a result of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, except to the extent that any losses incurred by the Company result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of the applicable Subscriber or Related Person in connection with such transactions; provided, however, that the Subscriber shall not be liable for any Loss that in the aggregate exceeds the Subscriber’s Aggregate Purchase Price tendered hereunder.  If the Company breaches its obligations under any Deal Document, then, in addition to any other liabilities the Company may have under any Deal Document or applicable law, the Company shall pay or reimburse the Subscribers on demand for all costs for collection and enforcement (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses).  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Company specifically agrees to reimburse the Subscribers on demand for all costs of enforcing the indemnification obligations in this paragraph.  Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5(f) to the contrary, the Company’s liability to the Subscriber hereunder shall not exceed the Subscriber’s Aggregate Purchase Price.

 

(g)           Use of Proceeds.  The Company anticipates using the gross proceeds from the Offering as set forth on Schedule A, annexed hereto.

 

(h)           Minimum Offering; Purchases by Insiders.  During the Offering, subscriptions will be placed and held in a non-interest bearing escrow account Citibank, NA.  The Initial Closing may be held upon receipt and acceptance of subscriptions for $2,500,000 (the “Minimum Offering”) prior to August 31, 2011. The date of the Initial Closing is sometimes referred to as the “Initial Closing Date.”  Subsequent closings (each a “Subsequent Closing”) will be held until the earlier to occur of: (i) the date on which the entire Offering has been subscribed for and accepted by the Company (the “Final Closing Date”), and (ii) September 30, 2011.  The Offering may be extended up to October 15, 2011, without additional notice to Subscribers.  Officers, directors and affiliates of the Company and the Placement Agent, if any, may purchase securities in the Offering which shall count towards satisfaction of the Minimum Offering.

 

6. REGISTRATION RIGHTS

 

The Company will file a “resale” registration statement with the SEC covering all Shares of Common Stock included within the Units sold in the Offering and underlying any Preferred Shares and the Warrants, so that the shares of Common Stock will be registered under the Securities Act. The Company will maintain the effectiveness of the “resale” registration statement from the effective date of the registration statement until all Registrable Securities (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covered by such registration statement have been sold, or may be sold without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, as determined by the counsel to the Company.  The Company will use its reasonable best efforts to have such “resale” registration statement filed within One Hundred and Eighty (180) days after the Final Closing Date and declared effective by the SEC as soon as possible and, in any event, within Three Hundred and Sixty (360) days after the Final Closing Date of the Offering (the “Effectiveness Deadline”), unless extended by Subscriber Consent.

The description of registration rights is qualified in its entirety by reference to Registration Rights Agreement annexed hereto as Exhibit E.
