(i.) Each purchase and sale of the Notes shall take place at the Company's offices at such time and place as the Company and the Purchasers mutually agree upon, orally or in writing (each, a "Closing"). The Company shall update Exhibit A to reflect each sale of Notes and such update shall not constitute an amendment of this Agreement.

(ii.) At each Closing, the Company shall deliver to each Purchaser the Note to be purchased by such Purchaser against (1) payment of the purchase price therefor by check payable to the Company or by wire transfer to a bank designated by the Company, (2) delivery of counterpart signature pages to this Agreement and (3) delivery of a validly

2. Stock Purchase Agreement.  Each Purchaser understands and agrees that the conversion of the Notes into equity securities of the Company will require such Purchaser's execution of certain agreements relating to the purchase and sale of such securities as well as any rights relating to such equity securities.

3. Representations and Warranties of the Company. The Company hereby represents and warrants to each Purchaser that:

(a.) Organization, Good Standing and Qualification. The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Oregon and has all requisite corporate power and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted. The Company is duly qualified to transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the failure so to qualify would have a material adverse effect on its business or properties.

(b.) Authorization. This Agreement, the Notes, and the stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes, have been duly authorized by the Board of Directors of the Company; however, (i) no shareholder approval has been obtained, (ii) the Company has not obtained the necessary corporate approval for the authorization of the issuance of any additional shares of Series A Preferred Stock or any new series of Preferred Stock into which the Notes may convert (together, the "Preferred Stock"), or and (iii) a sufficient number of shares of Preferred Stock has not been authorized under the Company's Articles of Incorporation to provide for the issuance of such shares upon conversion or exercise (as applicable) of the Notes. This Agreement and the Notes, when executed and delivered by the Company, shall constitute valid and legally binding obligations of the Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with their respective terms except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

 (c) Title to Property and Assets. The Company has good and marketable title to all of its properties, intangible and tangible assets that it owns free and clear of all mortgages, liens, loans, claims and encumbrances, except liens for current taxes and assessments not yet due and minor liens and encumbrances which arise in the ordinary course of business and which do not, in any case, in the aggregate, materially detract from the value or use of the property subject thereto or materially impair the operations of the Company. With respect to the property and assets it leases, the Company is in material compliance with such leases and holds a valid leasehold interest free of all liens, claims or encumbrances.

(d) Litigation. There is no action, suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company's knowledge, currently threatened before any court, administrative agency, or other governmental body (nor, to the Company's knowledge, is there any basis for any such action, suit, proceeding or investigation) that might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in a material adverse effect to the Company. The Company is not a party or subject to, and none of its assets is bound by, the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit or proceeding by the Company currently pending or that the Company intends to initiate.

4. Representations and Warranties of the Purchasers. Each Purchaser hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a.) Authorization. Such Purchaser has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement. This Agreement, when executed and delivered by the Purchaser, will constitute a valid and legally binding obligation of the Purchaser, enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent conveyance, and any other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights generally, and as limited by laws relating to the availability of a specific performance, injunctive relief, or other equitable remedies.

(b.) Purchase Entirely for Own Account. This Agreement is made with the Purchaser in reliance upon the Purchaser's representation to the Company, which by the Purchaser's execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser hereby confirms, that the Securities to be acquired by the Purchaser will be acquired for investment for the Purchaser's own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof, and that the Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. By executing this Agreement, the Purchaser further represents that the Purchaser does not presently have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities. The Purchaser has not been formed for the specific purpose of acquiring any of the Securities.

The Purchaser acknowledges that the Company has no obligation to register or qualify the Securities for resale. The Purchaser further acknowledges that if an exemption from registration or qualification is available, it may be conditioned on various requirements including, but not limited to, the time and manner of sale, the holding period for the Securities, and on requirements relating to the Company which are outside of the Purchaser's control, and which the Company is under no obligation and may not be able to satisfy.
