NOW THEREFORE, the parties hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE I
PURCHASE, SALE AND TERMS OF NOTE
1.01 The Note. The Company has authorized the issuance and sale to the Purchaser of the Company’s Promissory Note in the original principal amount of $225,000. The Promissory Note shall be in the form set forth as Exhibit A hereto and is herein referred to as the “Note”, which term shall also include any notes delivered in exchange or replacement therefor.
1.02 Purchase and Sale of Note. The Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchaser, and, subject to and in reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the Purchaser agrees to purchase the Note. Such purchase and sale shall take place at a closing (the “Closing”) to be held at the offices of Goodwin Procter LLP, 620 Eighth Avenue, New York, New York, on the date hereof at 12:00 p.m., New York City time, or at such other time or place as may be mutually agreed upon by the Company and the Purchaser. Subject to Section 5.11, at the Closing, the Purchaser will deliver to the Company as payment in full for the Note the amount of $202,500 (representing the principal amount of the Note less a prepayment of interest thereon at a rate of 20% per annum accrued during the six (6) months following the Closing regardless of any pre-payment), by (i) a check payable to the Company’s order, (ii) wire transfer of funds to the Company, or (iii) any combination of the foregoing. At the Closing, the Company will issue and deliver to the Purchaser the duly executed Note in the principal amount of $225,000.
1.03 No Usury. This Agreement and the Note issued pursuant to the terms of this Agreement are hereby expressly limited so that in no event whatsoever, whether by reason of deferment or advancement of loan proceeds, acceleration of maturity of the loan evidenced hereby, or otherwise, shall the amount paid or agreed to be paid to the Purchaser hereunder for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of money exceed the maximum interest rate permitted by the laws of the State of New York or the District of Colombia (Washington, DC). If at any time the performance of any provision hereof or the Note involves a payment exceeding the limit of the price that may be validly charged for the loan, use, forbearance or detention of money under applicable law, then automatically and retroactively, ipso facto, the agreed upon interest rate as set forth in the Note shall be reduced to such limit, it being the specific intent of the Company and the Purchaser that all payments under this Agreement or the Note are to be credited first to interest as permitted by law, but not in excess of (i) the agreed rate of interest set forth in the Note, or (ii) that permitted by law, whichever is the lesser, and the balance toward the reduction of principal. The provisions of this paragraph shall never be superseded or waived and shall control every other provision of this Agreement and the Note.
1.04 Issuance of Bonus Equity. Not later than thirty (30) days after the Closing, the Company shall file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) a registration statement (the “S-1”) with respect to, and cause to be declared effective the registration under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), a number of shares of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), not less than would be required to issue the Equity Bonus, the shares issuable in payment of the Board Meeting Fees and the Additional Bonus should be Company opt for a partial repayment of the principal amount of the Note pursuant to Section 5.13 (the date of such registration being the “Effective Date”). Not later than March 15, 2012, the Company shall issue to the Purchaser, or as Purchaser shall direct, all of the shares comprising the all Equity Bonus shares and, if applicable, the Additional Bonus, which shares shall be free and clear of all liens, pledges or encumbrances, registered under the Securities Act, and freely tradeable without restriction. “Equity Bonus” means a number of shares of Common Stock with an aggregate Market Value of not less than $225,000 calculated at $0.15 per share or less. “Market Value” means either (i) the average of the three (3) lowest closing prices of the Common Stock published by Bloomberg L.P. for the forty-five (45) trading days preceding the Closing (the “Average Trading Price”) or (ii) $0.15 (fifteen cents), whichever is lower. The Purchaser shall have no obligation to provide any additional consideration to the Company for the issuance of the Equity Bonus. The Company shall authorize and reserve sufficient shares of the Company’s capital stock to be issued upon the issuance of the Equity Bonus and any Board Meeting Fees. As of the date hereof, the Market Value was $0.15 or less equaling $0. ____ per share1 and the number of shares of Common Stock required to be included in the Equity Bonus is not less 1,500,000 shares of Common Stock (not including any Board Meeting Fees).

Promptly following the execution of this Agreement but in no event more than five (5) Business Days after the date hereof, the Company will deliver to the Purchaser a stock certificate evidencing the Pledged Shares together with a stock transfer power executed in blank by the Company. In the event there occurs any Event of Default (as defined in the Note), the Purchaser shall be entitled to enforce its security interest in the Pledged Shares and good, valid and unencumbered title to the Pledged Shares shall vest in the Purchaser.

The Company shall not sell, transfer, assign or encumber in any manner any of the Patents or Patent Licenses without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, other than the $150,000 already secured.
6
(c) The Company shall execute and deliver to the Purchaser such agreements, assignments or instruments (including affidavits, notices, reaffirmations and amendments and restatements of existing documents) and do all such things, in each case as the Purchaser may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate, to assure to the Purchaser its security interests hereunder, including (i) such instruments as the Purchaser may from time to time reasonably request in order to perfect and maintain the security interests granted hereunder in accordance with the Uniform Commercial Code in effect from time to time in the State of New York or the applicable jurisdiction with respect to any applicable Collateral (the “UCC”) and (ii) with respect to the Patents, a Notice of Grant of Security Interest in Patents for filing with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
(d) In addition to the rights and remedies hereunder and under the Note, the Purchaser may, in compliance with Sections 9-620 and 9-621 of the UCC or otherwise complying with the requirements of applicable law of the relevant jurisdiction, accept or retain the Collateral in satisfaction of the Secured Obligations. Unless and until the Purchaser shall have provided such notices, however, the Purchaser shall not be deemed to have retained any Collateral in satisfaction of any Secured Obligations for any reason. In the event that the proceeds of any sale, collection or realization of the Collateral are insufficient to pay all amounts to which the Purchaser is legally entitled, the Company shall be liable for the deficiency, together with interest, together with the costs of collection and the fees, charges and disbursements of counsel.
4.03 Use of Proceeds; Access to Information. The proceeds of the purchase of the Note by the Purchaser shall be used by the Company to allow the Company to fund ongoing research and development activities and current liabilities. Not less than $20,000 of such proceeds shall be used by the Company in the three (3) months following the Closing for the creation of a new business plan and power point presentation as well as public relations and investor relations activities to raise public awareness about the Company and its stock listing. The creation of such business plan and power point presentation will be overseen by Joshua Kornberg, who will serve as an independent contractor and will invoice the Company for his services. The Company shall promptly provide to the Purchaser a detailed memorandum setting forth the use of proceeds from the purchase of the Note for the period ending May 30, 2012. Not less than five (5) Business Days prior to the first day of each month, the Company shall deliver to the Purchaser a detailed budget (the “Budget”), and in the event the Company’s expenditures in any month exceed the projections in the Budget relating to such month by more than 20%, the Company shall promptly (but in any event within five (5) Business Days of such deviation) report such deviation to the Purchaser.
