NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual terms and conditions hereof, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1. Sale of the Shares. Seller and Buyers agree that for and in consideration of an aggregate of six hundred and twenty five thousand dollars ($625,000) which will include three hundred and twelve thousand five hundred dollars ($312,500) to be received from each Buyer and the additional consideration below, the Seller sells to each Buyer two million two hundred and fifty thousand (2,250,000) shares of the Seller’s Common Stock to be effective as of the closing (the “Closing Date”) of the Assignment and Assumption Agreement dated February 13, 2018, attached hereto as Exhibit A. Seller hereby irrevocable authorizes the transfer agent for the Seller to transfer the Shares from the Seller to the Buyers in book entry or certificate form, as instructed by each Buyer. All cash consideration shall be paid by check or wire transfer of immediately available funds. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, each Buyer must submit all cash consideration in the form of a check drawn payable to the Seller, or a wire transfer into the Seller’s bank account as set forth in Exhibit B hereto.

2. Waivers of Conversions Rights in Promissory Notes. As additional consideration, in addition to the terms of this Agreement and as a condition for closing, each Buyer agrees to waive its conversion rights under Sections 2, 4 and 8 of the 2009 Notes, so that all amounts outstanding under the 2009 Notes are no longer convertible into shares of the Buyer’s Common Stock.

3. Waivers of Acceleration Upon Default. As additional consideration, in addition to the terms of this Agreement and as a condition for closing, each Buyer agrees to waive its rights to acceleration upon default under Section 7 of the 2009 Notes until May 31, 2019.

As additional consideration, in addition to this Agreement and as a condition for closing, Buyer and the Seller will each be required to execute and provide the Amendments to the 10% Secured Convertible Promissory Note, the Amendments to the 10% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, and the Amendments to the 15% Convertible Promissory Note (the “Amendments”), each attached hereto as Exhibit D.

5. Representations and Warranties of Buyers. Each Buyer hereby represents and warrants to Seller as follows:

5.1 Restricted Securities. Each Buyer understands that the Shares have not been registered pursuant to the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or any state securities act, and that the Shares are thus “restricted securities” as defined in Rule 144 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Therefore, under current interpretations and applicable rules, each Buyer will have to retain the Shares for a period of at least one year from the date of this Agreement. Due to the fact that there is no current market for the Shares and the Seller does not intend to create any market in the foreseeable future, each Buyer hereby acknowledges that it is prepared to hold the Shares for an indefinite period.

5.2 Accredited Investor. Each Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

5.3 Investment Purpose. Each Buyer acknowledges that the Shares are being purchased for its own account, for investment, and not with the present view towards the distribution, assignment, or resale to others or fractionalization in whole or in part. Each Buyer further acknowledges that no other person has or will have a direct or indirect beneficial or pecuniary interest in the Shares.

5.4 Limitations on Resale; Restrictive Legend. Each Buyer acknowledges that it will not sell, assign, hypothecate, or otherwise transfer any rights to, or any interest in, the Shares except (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act, or (ii) in any other transaction which, in the opinion of counsel acceptable to the relevant Buyer, is exempt from registration under the Securities Act, or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder. Each Buyer also acknowledges that, if a certificate is issued, an appropriate legend will be placed upon the certificate representing the Shares stating that the Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale of the Shares.

5.5 Information. Each Buyer has been furnished (i) with all requested materials relating to the business, finances, and operations of the Seller, (ii) with information deemed material to making an informed investment decision; and (iii) with additional requested information necessary to verify the accuracy of any documents furnished to the Buyers by the Seller. Such person has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Seller and its management and to receive answers concerning the terms and conditions of this transaction.

5.6 Knowledge and Experience in Business and Financial Matters. Each Buyer has such knowledge and experience in business and financial matters that he is capable of evaluating the risks of the prospective investment, and that his financial capacity is of such proportion that the total cost of his commitment in the Shares would not be material when compared with his total financial capacity.

5.7 No Advertisements. Each Buyer is not entering into this Agreement as a result of or subsequent to any advertisement, article, notice, or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, or similar media or broadcast on television or radio, or presented at any seminar or meeting.
