NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein, and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereby agree as follows:


1.

Extension of Notes.  The Parties agree to extend the original maturity dates of the Notes to December 15, 2016.  The Company shall promptly prepare, execute, and deliver to the Lender an Amended and Restated Heller Capital Note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A  (the “Amended Heller Capital Note”), an Amended and Restated Heller Family Note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B (the “Amended Heller Family Note”), an Amended and Restated Heller Trust Note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Amended Heller Trust Note”), and an Amended and Restated Nagelberg Note in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit D (the “Amended Nagelberg Note,” and




 


collectively, the “Amended Notes”).  Interest payable on the Amended Notes shall be calculated as described in the Amended Notes and as set forth on Exhibit E, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.


2.

Ownership Interest in SOGS.  In consideration of the extension of the terms of the Notes, the Parties agree that SOGS shall issue authorized but unissued shares of SOGS common stock to Ronald Heller in an amount of 5.00% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of SOGS and to Heller Capital in an amount of 3.29% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of SOGS (together the “Heller Pro Rata Interest”). In addition, SOGS shall issue authorized but unissued shares of SOGS common stock to Nagelberg in an amount of 4.15% of the total outstanding shares of common stock of SOGS (the “Nagelberg Pro Rata Interest,” and together with the Heller Pro Rata Interest, the “Pro Rata Interests”).


The Pro Rata Interests provided for in this Section 2 shall remain undiluted until the date that the common stock of SOGS is first registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Public Company Date”), and if SOGS issues additional common stock or Common Stock Equivalents (as defined below) prior to the Public Company Date, SOGS shall issue Ronald Heller, Heller Capital, and Nagelberg additional shares of authorized but unissued common stock of SOGS (the “Additional Shares”) in order to maintain the Pro Rata Interests set forth in this Section 2.  Common Stock Equivalents as used in this Section 2 shall mean any securities of SOGS or subsidiaries of SOGS which would entitle the holder thereof to acquire at any time common stock, including, without limitation, any debt, preferred stock, right, option, warrant or other instrument that is at any time convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for, or otherwise entitles the holder thereof to receive, common stock. Provided, however, if a Common Stock Equivalent terminates without the issuance of any common stock, the Company shall cancel a number of Additional Shares to give effect to such termination.


3.

Heller Purchase Rights.  In further consideration of the extension of the term of the Notes, the Parties agree that Ronald Heller shall have the right to purchase 2,000,000 additional shares of SOGS common stock at a price of $0.10 per share (the “Purchase Right”).  The Purchase Right shall be exercisable at any time prior to the Public Company Date.  If Heller fails to exercise the Purchase Right prior to the Public Company Date, the Purchase Right shall terminate as of the Public Company Date. All numbers of shares and per share are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar events.  


4.

Nagelberg Purchase Rights.  In further consideration of the extension of the term of the Notes, the Parties agree that Nagelberg shall have a Purchase Right to purchase 2,000,000 Additional Shares at a price of $0.10 per share.  The Purchase Right shall be exercisable at any time prior to the Public Company Date.  If Nagelberg fails to exercise the Purchase Right prior to the Public Company Date, the Purchase Right shall terminate as of the Public Company Date. All numbers of shares and per share are subject to adjustment in the event of stock splits, stock dividends, combinations and similar events.


5.

Amendments to Pledge Agreements.  The Heller Pledge Agreement is hereby amended, and the collateral set forth in the Heller Security Agreement shall hereby secure the Amended Heller Capital Note, the Amended Heller Family Note, and the Amended Heller Trust Note.  The Nagelberg Pledge Agreement is hereby amended, and the collateral set forth in the Nagelberg Pledge Agreement shall hereby secure the Amended Nagelberg Note.




 


6.

Severability.  In the event any parts of this Agreement are found to be void, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless be binding with the same effect as though the void parts were deleted.


7.

Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.  The execution of this Agreement may be by actual or email signature.


8.

Benefit.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their legal representatives, successors and assigns.  Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer on any person other than the Parties or their respective heirs, successors and assigns any rights, remedies, obligations, or other liabilities under or by reason of this Agreement.
