Such Investor has the requisite power and authority to enter into the Transaction Documents and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery by such Investor of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly and validly authorized by such Investor’s governing body, as necessary, and no further consent or authorization is required. The Transaction Documents to which it is a party have been duly and validly executed and delivered by such Investor and constitute valid and binding obligations of such Investor, enforceable against such Investor in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors’ rights and remedies.
4.3No Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents to which it is a party by such Investor and the purchase of the Notes and the Warrants
by such Investor will not (a) conflict with or result in a violation of such Investor’s organizational documents, if applicable, (b) conflict with, or constitute a material default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would become a material default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, contract, indenture mortgage, indebtedness or instrument to which such Investor is a party, or (c) violate any Law applicable to such Investor or by which any of such Investor’s properties or assets are bound or affected.

Each Investor has, by reason of its business and financial experience, such knowledge, sophistication and experience in financial and business matters and in making investment decisions of this type that it is capable of (a) evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Notes, the Warrants and the Investor Shares and making an informed investment decision, (b) protecting its own interests and (c) bearing the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time.

Such Investor has received all materials relating to the business, finance and operations of the Company and the Subsidiaries as it has requested and has had an opportunity to discuss the business, management and financial affairs of the Company and the Subsidiaries with the Company’s management. In making its investment decision, such Investor has relied solely on its own due diligence performed on the Company by its own representatives.
4.6Short Selling Prohibition. Investor and the Company each agrees that, while the Note remains outstanding, no person or entity, while acting on behalf of or at the direction of Investor, as applicable, or any of its Affiliates or pursuant to any understanding in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall directly or indirectly engage in any Short Sales with respect to securities of the Company.

The transaction documents related to any Subsequent Financing applicable to the Investors shall not include any term or provision whereby the Investors shall be required to agree to any restrictions on trading as to any of the Securities purchased hereunder. In addition, the transaction documents related to the Subsequent Financing shall not include any requirement to consent to any amendment to or termination of, or grant any waiver, release or other modification or the like under or in connection with, this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Investors if required hereunder to consent to such amendment, termination, waiver, consent, release or other modification.
10.5
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10 and unless otherwise agreed to by the Investors, the Company shall either confirm in writing to the Investors that the transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been abandoned or shall publicly disclose its intention to issue the securities in the Subsequent Financing, in either case in such a manner such that the Investors will not be in possession of any material, non-public information, by the Second (2nd) Trading Day following delivery of the Subsequent Financing Notice. If by such Second (2nd) Trading Day, no public disclosure regarding a transaction with respect to the Subsequent Financing has been made, and no notice regarding the abandonment of such transaction has been received by the Investors, such transaction shall be deemed to have been abandoned and the Investors shall not be deemed to be in possession of any material, non-public information with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries in addition to other remedies available to the Investors. In addition to such other remedies available to the Investors, in the event that the Company fails to provide the notice required by this Section 10.2, then the Investors shall be entitled to exercise their rights under Section 10 until 30 days after the closing of the particular Subsequent Financing and the Investors may deem the failure to give any notice required
hereunder an Event of Default under the Notes.
10.6
Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 10 shall not apply in respect of issuance of Exempted Securities.
11.1Fees and Expenses. Prior to the date of this Agreement, the Company has paid the Investors $85,000 as an advance the expenses payable under this Section 11.1. At the initial Closing, the Company shall reimburse the Lead Investor all reasonable fees and disbursements of its counsel Lucosky Brookman LLP, it being understood that Lucosky Brookman LLP has not rendered any legal advice to the Company in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby and that the Company has relied for such matters on the advice of its own counsel. Except as specified above, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents. The Company shall pay all stamp and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the sale of the Notes and the Warrants.
11.2Notices. Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be provided hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (a) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the email address specified in this Section prior to 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on a Business Day, (b) the next Business Day after the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via email at the email address specified in this Section on a day that is not a Business Day or later than 5:00 p.m. (New York time) on any date and earlier than 11:59
p.m. (New York time) on such date, (c) the Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by

or such other address as may be designated in writing hereafter, in the same manner, by such Person.
11.3Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be excessive in scope or otherwise invalid or unenforceable, such provision shall be adjusted rather than voided, if possible, so that it is enforceable to the maximum extent possible, and the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
11.4Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the Laws of the State of Nevada, without reference to principles of conflict of laws or choice of laws.
11.5Jurisdiction and Venue. Any action, proceeding or claim arising out of, or relating in any way to this Agreement shall be brought and enforced in the New York Supreme Court, County of New York (Commerical Division), or in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York. The Company and the Investors irrevocably submit to the jurisdiction of such courts, which jurisdiction shall be exclusive, and hereby waive any objection to such exclusive jurisdiction or that such courts represent an inconvenient forum. The prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to recover its reasonable and documented attorneys’ fees and out-of-pocket expenses relating to such action or proceeding.
11.6Independent Nature of Investors' Obligations and Rights. The obligations of each Investor under any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Investor, and no Investor shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non- performance of the obligations of any other Investor under any Transaction Document. Nothing contianed herein or in any other Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Investor pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Investors as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Investors are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in any other Transaction Document, each Investor 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 Investor to be joined as an additional party in any Proceeding for such purpose. Each Investor has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in its review and negotiation of the Transaction Documents. In this regard Lucosky Brookman LLP has acted as counsel only to the Lead Investor and not to any other Investor. The Company has elected to provide all Investors 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 any of the Investors. It is expressly understood and agreed that each provision contained in this Agreement and in each other Transaction Document is between the Company and an Investor, solely, and not between the Company and the Investors collectively and not between and among the Investors.
11.7WAIVER OF RIGHT TO JURY TRIAL. THE COMPANY AND THE INVESTORS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ANY AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENTS.
11.8Survival. The representations, warranties, agreements and covenants contained herein shall survive the Closing and the delivery of the Securities.
11.9Entire Agreement. The Transaction Documents, together with the Exhibits and Schedules thereto, contain the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters, which the parties acknowledge have been merged into such documents, exhibits and schedules.
11.10Amendments; Waivers. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written instrument signed by the Company, the Lead Investor and each other Investor. No waiver 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 subsequent default or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right.
11.11Construction. The headings herein are for convenience only, do not constitute a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed to limit or affect any of the provisions hereof. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party. This Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties, and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any party by virtue of the authorship of any provisions of this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents.
11.12Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon, and inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by, the Company and the Investors and their respective successors and assigns. The Company may not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of each Investor. Any Investor may assign any or all of its rights under this Agreement to any Person to whom such Investor assigns or transfers any Securities, provided such transferee agrees in writing to be bound, with respect to the transferred Securities, by the provisions hereof that apply to the “Investors” and such transferee is an accredited investor.
11.13Further Assurances. Each party hereto shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation
of the transactions contemplated hereby.
11.14Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in identical counterparts, each of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other parties. Signature pages delivered by facsimile or e-mail shall have the same force and effect as an original signature.
11.15Specific Performance. The Company acknowledges that monetary damages alone would not be adequate compensation to the Investors for a breach by the Company of this Agreement and the Investors may seek an injunction or an order for specific performance from a court of competent jurisdiction if (a) the Company fails to comply or threatens not to comply with this Agreement or (b) the Investors have reason to believe that the Company will not comply with this Agreement.
