RECITALS
A. Sellers are the owners of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of SDS (the “Shares”).
B. The persons (the “Optionees”) whose names are set forth on Schedule 5.2 annexed hereto are the owners of 100% of the issued and outstanding securities of SDS that are convertible or exercisable into shares of SDS (the “SDS Convertible Securities”).
C. The Company’s common stock, $0.0001 par value (the “Common Stock”), is registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) and quoted for trading on the OTC Bulletin Board.
D. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, Sellers desire to sell, and the Company desires to purchase, all of the Sellers’ rights, title, and interest in and to all of the Shares as further described herein.
E. As contemplated by this Agreement, at the Closing (hereafter defined), the Optionees shall surrender all of the SDS Convertible Securities and all of their rights, title and interest therein, and in exchange therefor, the Company shall issue to the Optionees options to purchase shares of Common Stock (the “Company Options”). The number of shares of Common Stock into which the Company Options to be granted to each such Optionee at the Closing shall be exercisable shall equal the aggregate of the Consideration Shares and Underlying Shares issued and granted at Closing multiplied by the percentage holdings in SDS on a fully diluted basis represented by the SDS Option Shares held by each Optionee (the shares of Common Stock underlying the Company Options, the “Underlying Shares”).
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the covenants, promises and representations set forth herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties agree as follows:
1. Agreement to Purchase and Sell. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, the Sellers shall sell, assign, transfer, convey, and deliver to the Company, and the Company shall accept and purchase, the Shares and any and all of their respective rights, title and interest in the Shares, and by doing so Sellers shall be deemed to have assigned all of their rights, title and interests in and to the Shares to the Company.
2. Consideration.
(a) In consideration for the Shares and the SDS Convertible Securities, at the Closing the Company shall issue and deliver to the Sellers an aggregate of 21,768,063 shares of Common Stock (the “Consideration Shares”) and to the Optionees Company Options exercisabe into an aggregate of 6,831,937 Underlying Shares. The number of Consideration Shares issued to each Seller at the Closing shall be as indicated next to such Seller’s name on Exhibit A annexed hereto.
(b) The Consideration Shares and the Underlying Shares are intended to represent 31% of (i) the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on the earlier of (x) the date that the Investment Target, as defined in Section 7.1 below, is achieved (the “Investment Target Achievement Date”) and (y) December 1, 2008 (the “Investment Target Cut-Off Date”), plus (ii) any shares of Common Stock in excess of 500,000 shares issuable upon the exercise of options, warrants or other securities convertible into shares of Common Stock or pre-emptive rights, issued or granted by the Company, or undertaken to be issued or granted by the Company, after the date of this Agreement and on or before the earlier of the Investment Target Achievement Date and the Investment Target Cut-Off Date (the earlier of the Investment Target Achievement Date and the Investment Target Cut-Off Date, the “Break Date”). The calculation of 31% of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock shall exclude, for all purposes, shares of Common Stock to be held in escrow pursuant to Section 7.1 below, for the removal of doubt, whether or not such shares of Common Stock shall be cancelled or transferred pursuant to Section 7.1 below (the “Escrowed Shares”).

It is hereby acknowledged and agreed that the Company Options shall provide that in such event the amount of Underlying Shares shall be automatically increased, on a pro-rata basis according to the proportion that each Optionee’s Underlying Shares bears to the aggregate number of Underlying Shares at Closing, such that the Consideration Shares and the Underlying Shares shall represent 31% of the Net Number of Shares on the Break Date. The Sellers shall not be required to pay any consideration to the Company for the additional shares of Common Stock issued to the Sellers pursuant to this Section 2(b). Additional shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall be issued to the Sellers on a pro-rata basis according to the proportion of the Consideration Shares issued to each Seller at the Closing.

Notwithstanding the aforementioned, the limitations set forth in the previous sentence shall not apply to Sections 6.5, 6.9 and 7.4.
The provisions of this Section 8.1 shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for breaches of the matters set forth in said Section.
8.2 Survival. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, all covenants and agreements of the parties contained herein or in any other certificate or document delivered pursuant hereto shall survive the date hereof until the later of the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations or the second anniversary of the date hereof.

Any party may change the address to which notices and other communications hereunder are to be delivered by giving the other parties notice in the manner herein set forth.

10.8 Waivers. The failure of any party at any time or times to require performance of any provision hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by any party of any condition, or the breach of any term, covenant, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach or a waiver of any other term, covenant, representation or warranty of this Agreement.
10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts and by facsimile, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
10.10 Severability.
