(b) Upon the following terms and conditions and for no additional consideration, each of the Purchasers shall be issued at the Initial Closing Date (as defined below) Warrants, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Warrants”), to purchase an aggregate of up to 2,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”). The Warrants shall expire seven (7) years following the Initial Closing Date and shall have an exercise price per share equal to the Warrant Price (as defined in the Warrant).
 
Section 1.2 Purchase Price and Closing. Subject to the terms and conditions hereof, the Company agrees to issue and sell to the Purchasers and, in consideration of and in express reliance upon the representations, warranties, covenants, terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Purchasers, severally but not jointly, agree to purchase the Notes and Warrants for an aggregate purchase price of up to Three Million Dollars ($3,000,000) (the “Purchase Price”).

The Initial Closing Date, the Second Closing Date, and the Third Closing Date are sometimes referred to in this Agreement as the “Closing Date”. Each Closing of the purchase and sale of the Notes to be acquired by the Purchasers from the Company under this Agreement shall take place at the offices of the Company, 14945 Ventura Blvd. Suite 300, Sherman Oaks, CA 91403 at 5:00 p.m., Pacific Daylight Savings time; provided, that all of the conditions set forth in Article IV hereof and applicable to such Closing shall have been fulfilled or waived in accordance herewith.

REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
 
Section 2.1 Representations and Warranties of the Company.

(a) Organization, Good Standing and Power. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets and to conduct its business as it is now being conducted. The Company does not have any Subsidiaries (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) or own securities of any kind in any other entity except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(g) hereto. The Company and each such Subsidiary (as defined in Section 2.1(g)) is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary except for any jurisdiction(s) (alone or in the aggregate) in which the failure to be so qualified will not have a Material Adverse Effect. For the purposes of this Agreement, “Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, or financial condition of the Company and its Subsidiaries and/or any condition, circumstance, or situation that would prohibit or otherwise materially interfere with the ability of the Company to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

(b)  Authorization; Enforcement. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under this Agreement, the Note, the Warrants, the Security Agreement by and among the Company and the Purchaser, dated as of the date hereof, substantially in the form of Exhibit D attached hereto (the “Security Agreement”), and the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions (as defined in Section 3.16 hereof) (collectively, the “Transaction Documents”) and to issue and sell the Securities in accordance with the terms hereof. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action, and, except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(b), no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or stockholders is required. When executed and delivered by the Company, each of the Transaction Documents shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.
 
(c) Capitalization. The authorized capital stock of the Company as of the date hereof is set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto. All of the outstanding shares of the Common Stock and any other outstanding security of the Company have been duly and validly authorized and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and were issued in accordance with the registration or qualification provisions of the Securities Act, or pursuant to valid exemptions therefrom. Except as set forth in this Agreement and as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, no shares of Common Stock or any other security of the Company are entitled to preemptive rights, registration rights, rights of first refusal or similar rights and there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe to, call or commitments of any character whatsoever relating to, or securities or rights convertible into, any shares of capital stock of the Company.

Except for customary transfer restrictions contained in agreements entered into by the Company in order to sell restricted securities or as provided on Schedule 2.1(c) hereto, the Company is not a party to or bound by any agreement or understanding granting registration or anti-dilution rights to any person with respect to any of its equity or debt securities. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c), the Company is not a party to, and it has no knowledge of, any agreement or understanding restricting the voting or transfer of any shares of the capital stock of the Company.

Any Person with any right to purchase securities of the Company that would be triggered as a result of the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents has waived such rights or the time for the exercise of such rights has passed, except where failure of the Company to receive such waiver would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule 2.1(c), there are no options, warrants or other outstanding securities of the Company (including, without limitation, any equity securities issued pursuant to any Company stock option or incentive plan) the vesting of which will be accelerated by the transactions contemplated hereby or by any of the other Transaction Documents.

The Company acknowledges that nothing contained herein, or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Purchaser pursuant hereto or thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Purchasers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Purchasers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Purchaser shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Purchaser to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. The Company acknowledges that for reasons of administrative convenience only, the Transaction Documents have been prepared by counsel for one of the Purchasers and such counsel does not represent all of the Purchasers but only such Purchaser and the other Purchasers have retained their own individual counsel with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.  The Company acknowledges that it has elected to provide all Purchasers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Purchasers.

Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act in a manner that would prevent the Company from selling the Securities pursuant to Regulation D and Rule 506 thereof under the Securities Act, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings. The Company does not have any registration statement pending before the Commission or currently under the Commission’s review.

Each Purchaser has the requisite power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to purchase the Securities being sold to it hereunder. The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by each Purchaser and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate or partnership action, and no further consent or authorization of such Purchaser or its Board of Directors, stockholders, or partners, as the case may be, is required. When executed and delivered by the Purchasers, the other Transaction Documents shall constitute valid and binding obligations of each Purchaser enforceable against such Purchaser in accordance with their terms, except as such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation, conservatorship, receivership or similar laws relating to, or affecting generally the enforcement of, creditor’s rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general application.

The execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents by the Purchaser and the consummation by the Purchaser of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby do not and will not (i) violate any provision of the Purchaser’s charter or organizational documents, (ii) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Purchaser is a party or by which the Purchaser’s respective properties or assets are bound, or (iii) result in a violation of any federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Purchaser or by which any property or asset of the Purchaser are bound or affected, except, in all cases, other than violations pursuant to clauses (i) or (iii) (with respect to federal and state securities laws) above, except, for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, materially and adversely affect the Purchaser’s ability to perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents.
 
(d) Acquisition for Investment. Each Purchaser is purchasing the Securities solely for its own account and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, public sale or distribution thereof. Each Purchaser does not have a present intention to sell any of the Securities, nor a present arrangement (whether or not legally binding) or intention to effect any distribution of any of the Securities to or through any person or entity; provided, however, that by making the representations herein, such Purchaser does not agree to hold the Securities for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with Federal and state securities laws applicable to such disposition. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it (i) has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of Purchaser’s investment in the Company, (ii) is able to bear the financial risks associated with an investment in the Securities and (iii) has been given full access to such records of the Company and the Subsidiaries and to the officers of the Company and the Subsidiaries as it has deemed necessary or appropriate to conduct its due diligence investigation.
 
13

 
(e) Rule 144. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities must be held indefinitely unless such Securities are registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from registration is available. Each Purchaser acknowledges that such person is familiar with Rule 144 of the rules and regulations of the Commission, as amended, promulgated pursuant to the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and that such Purchaser has been advised that Rule 144 permits resales only under certain circumstances. Each Purchaser understands that to the extent that Rule 144 is not available, such Purchaser will be unable to sell any Securities without either registration under the Securities Act or the existence of another exemption from such registration requirement.
 
(f) General. Each Purchaser understands that the Securities are being offered and sold in reliance on a transactional exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws and the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the applicability of such exemptions and the suitability of such Purchaser to acquire the Securities. Each Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state agency or any government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.
 
(g) No General Solicitation. Each Purchaser acknowledges that the Securities were not offered to such Purchaser by means of any form of general or public solicitation or general advertising, or publicly disseminated advertisements or sales literature, including (i) any advertisement, article, notice or other communication published in any newspaper, magazine, Internet website or similar media, or broadcast over television or radio, or transmitted by electronic mail over the Internet, (ii) any seminar or meeting to which such Purchaser was invited by any of the foregoing means of communications. Each Purchaser, in making the decision to purchase the Securities, has relied upon independent investigation made by it and has not relied on any information or representations made by third parties.
 
(h) Accredited Investor. Each Purchaser is an “accredited investor” (as defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D), and such Purchaser has such experience in business and financial matters that it is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of an investment in the Securities. Such Purchaser is not required to be registered as a broker-dealer under Section 15 of the Exchange Act and such Purchaser is not a broker-dealer. Each Purchaser acknowledges that an investment in the Securities is speculative and involves a high degree of risk.

The Company will take all action necessary to continue the listing or trading of its Common Stock on the OTC Bulletin Board or other exchange or market on which the Common Stock is trading. Subject to the terms of the Transaction Documents, the Company further covenants that it will take such further action as the Purchasers may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Purchasers to sell the Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act. Upon the request of the Purchasers, the Company shall deliver to the Purchasers a written certification of a duly authorized officer as to whether it has complied with the issuer requirements of Rule 144.

Section 3.10 Disclosure of Transaction. The Company shall issue a press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Press Release”) on the day of the Initial Closing but in no event later than one hour after the opening of the market on the business day next succeeding such Closing; provided, however, that if such Closing occurs after 4:00 P.M. Eastern Time on any Trading Day, the Company shall issue the Press Release no later than 9:00 A.M. Eastern Time on the first Trading Day following such Closing Date. The Company shall also file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby (and attaching as exhibits thereto this Agreement, the form of Note, the Security Agreement, the form of Warrant and the Press Release) as soon as practicable following each Closing Date but in no event more than two (2) Trading Days following such Closing Date, which Press Release and Form 8-K shall be subject to prior review and reasonable comment by the Purchasers. “Trading Day” means any day during which the principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded shall be open for trading. 
 
Section 3.11 Disclosure of Material Information. The Company covenants and agrees that neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf has provided or will provide any Purchaser or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Purchaser shall have executed a written agreement regarding the confidentiality and use of such information.  The Company understands and confirms that each Purchaser shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.
 
Section 3.12 Pledge of Securities. The Company acknowledges that the Securities may be pledged by a Purchaser in connection with a bona fide margin agreement or other loan or financing arrangement that is secured by the Securities. The pledge of Securities shall not be deemed to be a transfer, sale or assignment of the Securities hereunder, and no Purchaser effecting a pledge of the Securities shall be required to provide the Company with any notice thereof or otherwise make any delivery to the Company pursuant to this Agreement or any other Transaction Document; provided, that a Purchaser and its pledgee shall be required to comply with the provisions of Article V hereof in order to effect a sale, transfer or assignment of Securities to such pledgee. At the Purchasers’ expense, the Company hereby agrees to execute and deliver such documentation as a pledgee of the Securities may reasonably request in connection with a pledge of the Securities to such pledgee by a Purchaser.
 
Section 3.13 Amendments. The Company shall not amend or waive any provision of the Articles or Bylaws of the Company in any way that would adversely affect exercise rights, voting rights, conversion rights, prepayment rights or redemption rights of the holder of the Notes.
 
Section 3.14 Distributions. So long as any Notes or Warrants remain outstanding, the Company agrees that it shall not (i) declare or pay any dividends or make any distributions to any holder(s) of Common Stock or (ii) purchase or otherwise acquire for value, directly or indirectly, any Common Stock or other equity security of the Company.
 
Section 3.15 Reservation of Shares. So long as any of the Warrants remain outstanding, the Company shall take all action necessary to at all times have authorized and reserved for the purpose of issuance of a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock needed to provide for the issuance of the Warrant Shares.
 
17

 
Section 3.16 Transfer Agent Instructions. The Company shall issue irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent, and any subsequent transfer agent, to issue certificates, registered in the name of each Purchaser or its respective nominee(s), for the Warrant Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by each Purchaser to the Company upon conversion of the Notes or exercise of the Warrants in the form of Exhibit E attached hereto (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”). Prior to registration of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act, all such certificates shall bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 5.1 of this Agreement. The Company warrants that no instruction other than the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section 3.16 will be given by the Company to its transfer agent and that the Warrant Shares shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided in this Agreement. If a Purchaser provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that a public sale, assignment or transfer of the Warrant Shares may be made without registration under the Securities Act or the Purchaser provides the Company with reasonable assurances that the Warrant Shares can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of securities acquired as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Warrant Shares, promptly instruct its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates in such name and in such denominations as specified by such Purchaser and without any restrictive legend. The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations under this Section 3.16 will cause irreparable harm to the Purchasers by vitiating the intent and purpose of the transaction contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section 3.16 will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section 3.16, that the Purchasers shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies, to an order and/or injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate issuance and transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without any bond or other security being required. 
 
Section 3.17 Disposition of Assets. So long as the Notes remain outstanding, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of any of its properties, assets and rights including, without limitation, its software and intellectual property, to any person except (i) for sales of obsolete assets and sales to customers in the ordinary course of business and (ii) with the prior written consent of the holders of a majority of the principal amount of the Notes then outstanding.
 
Section 3.18 Form SB-2 Eligibility. The Company currently meets the “registrant eligibility” and transaction requirements set forth in the general instructions to Form SB-2 applicable to “resale” registrations on Form SB-2 and the Company shall file all reports required to be filed by the Company with the Commission in a timely manner.

ARTICLE V
 
CERTIFICATE LEGEND 
 
Section 5.1 Legend. Each certificate representing the Securities shall be stamped or otherwise imprinted with a legend substantially in the following form (in addition to any legend required by applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws):
 
THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE (THE “SECURITIES”) HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS OR INTELLIGENTIAS, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.
 
The Company agrees to issue or reissue certificates representing any of the Warrant Shares, without the legend set forth above if at such time, prior to making any transfer of any such Warrant Shares, such holder thereof shall give written notice to the Company describing the manner and terms of such transfer and removal as the Company may reasonably request. Such proposed transfer and removal will not be effected until: (a) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that the registration of the Warrant Shares under the Securities Act is not required in connection with such proposed transfer, (ii) a registration statement under the Securities Act covering such proposed disposition has been filed by the Company with the Commission and has become effective under the Securities Act, (iii) the Company has received other evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company that such registration and qualification under the Securities Act and state securities laws are not required (which may include an opinion of counsel provided by the Company), or (iv) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that such security can be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act (which may include an opinion of counsel provided by the Company); and (b) either (i) the Company has received an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company, to the effect that registration or qualification under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any state is not required in connection with such proposed disposition, (ii) compliance with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws has been effected, or (iii) the holder provides the Company with reasonable assurances that a valid exemption exists with respect thereto (which may include an opinion of counsel provided by the Company). The Company will respond to any such notice from a holder within three (3) business days. In the case of any proposed transfer under this Section 5.1, the Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with any such applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws, but shall in no event be required, (x) to qualify to do business in any state where it is not then qualified, (y) to take any action that would subject it to tax or to the general service of process in any state where it is not then subject, or (z) to comply with state securities or “blue sky” laws of any state for which registration by coordination is unavailable to the Company. The restrictions on transfer contained in this Section 5.1 shall be in addition to, and not by way of limitation of, any other restrictions on transfer contained in any other section of this Agreement. Whenever a certificate representing the Warrant Shares is required to be issued to a Purchaser without a legend, in lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Warrant Shares, provided the Company’s transfer agent is participating in the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) Fast Automated Securities Transfer program, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Warrant Shares to a Purchaser by crediting the account of such Purchaser’s Prime Broker with DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system (to the extent not inconsistent with any provisions of this Agreement).

ARTICLE VI
 
INDEMNIFICATION
 
Section 6.1 Company Indemnity. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchasers (and their respective directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchasers as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein. 
 
Section 6.2 Indemnification Procedure. Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article VI (an “indemnified party”) will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matter giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article VI except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of the indemnifying party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnified party exists with respect to such action, proceeding or claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall be responsible for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate counsel for the indemnified parties), to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party advises an indemnified party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action or claim. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article VI to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim. The indemnification obligations to defend the indemnified party required by this Article VI shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party shall refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law. No indemnifying party will be liable to the indemnified party under this Agreement to the extent, but only to the extent that a loss, claim, damage or liability is attributable to the indemnified party’s breach of any of the representations, warranties or covenants made by such party in this Agreement or in the other Transaction Documents.

ARTICLE VII
 
MISCELLANEOUS
 
Section 7.1 Fees and Expenses. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisors, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses, incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement; provided, that the Company shall pay all actual attorneys’ fees and expenses (including disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses) incurred by the Purchasers in connection with (i) the preparation, negotiation, execution and delivery of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated thereunder, which payment shall be made at the Initial Closing and shall not exceed $35,000 (plus disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses), and (ii) any amendments, modifications or waivers of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents. The Company shall also pay all reasonable fees and expenses incurred by the Purchasers in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any of the other Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses. In addition, on the Maturity Date (as defined in the Note), the Company shall pay to Fleet Consulting Inc. a loan fee of $100,000, which shall be payable in cash or in stock (at a price to be mutually agreed on), at the Company’s discretion. 
 
Section 7.2 Specific Performance; Consent to Jurisdiction; Venue
 
24

 
(a) The Company and the Purchasers acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof or thereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.
 
(b) The parties agree that venue for any dispute arising under this Agreement will lie exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Los Angeles County, California, and the parties irrevocably waive any right to raise forum non conveniens or any other argument that Los Angeles is not the proper venue. The parties irrevocably consent to personal jurisdiction in the state and federal courts of the state of California. The Company and each Purchaser consent to process being served in any such suit, action or proceeding by mailing a copy thereof to such party at the address in effect for notices to it under this Agreement and agrees that such service shall constitute good and sufficient service of process and notice thereof. Nothing in this Section 7.2 shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law. The Company and the Purchasers hereby agree that the prevailing party in any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to the Securities, this Agreement or the other Transaction Documents, shall be entitled to reimbursement for reasonable legal fees from the non-prevailing party. The parties hereby waive all rights to a trial by jury.
 
Section 7.3 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement and the Transaction Documents contain the entire understanding and agreement of the parties with respect to the matters covered hereby and, except as specifically set forth herein or in the other Transaction Documents, neither the Company nor any Purchaser make any representation, warranty, covenant or undertaking with respect to such matters, and they supersede all prior understandings and agreements with respect to said subject matter, all of which are merged herein. No provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended other than by a written instrument signed by the Company and the Purchasers holding at least a majority of the principal amount of the Notes then held by the Purchasers. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 7.3 shall be binding upon each Purchaser (and their permitted assigns) and the Company. 
 
Section 7.4 Notices. Any notice, demand, request, waiver or other communication required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be effective (a) upon hand delivery by telecopy or facsimile at the address or number designated below (if delivered on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received), or the first business day following such delivery (if delivered other than on a business day during normal business hours where such notice is to be received) or (b) on the third business day following the date of mailing by express courier service, fully prepaid, addressed to such address, or upon actual receipt of such mailing, whichever shall first occur.

No waiver by either party of any default with respect to any provision, condition or requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in the future or a waiver of any other provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or omission of any party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner impair the exercise of any such right accruing to it thereafter. No consideration shall be offered or paid to any Purchaser to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of any of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered to all of the parties to the Transaction Documents.

Section 7.12 Publicity. The Company agrees that it will not disclose, and will not include in any public announcement, the names of the Purchasers without the consent of the Purchasers, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, or unless and until such disclosure is required by law, rule or applicable regulation, including without limitation any disclosure pursuant to the Registration Statement, and then only to the extent of such requirement. 
 
Section 7.13 Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable and, in the event that any court of competent jurisdiction shall determine that any one or more of the provisions or part of the provisions contained in this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or part of a provision of this Agreement and this Agreement shall be reformed and construed as if such invalid or illegal or unenforceable provision, or part of such provision, had never been contained herein, so that such provisions would be valid, legal and enforceable to the maximum extent possible.
 
Section 7.14 Further Assurances. From and after the date of this Agreement, upon the request of the Purchasers or the Company, the Company and each Purchaser shall execute and deliver such instruments, documents and other writings as may be reasonably necessary or desirable to confirm and carry out and to effectuate fully the intent and purposes of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents.

[Name and address of Transfer Agent]
Attn: _____________

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
Reference is made to that certain Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), dated as of August 15, 2007, by and among TechnoConcepts Inc., a Colorado corporation (the “Company”), and the purchasers named therein (collectively, the “Purchasers”) pursuant to which the Company is issuing to the Purchasers secured promissory notes (the “Notes”) and warrants (the “Warrants”) to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock, no par value (the “Common Stock”). This letter shall serve as our irrevocable authorization and direction to you (provided that you are the transfer agent of the Company at such time) to issue shares of Common Stock upon exercise of the Warrants (the “Warrant Shares”) to or upon the order of a Purchaser from time to time upon (i) surrender to you of a properly completed and duly executed Exercise Notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit I, (ii) a copy of the Warrants being exercised (or, in each case, an indemnification undertaking with respect to such Notes or the Warrants in the case of their loss, theft or destruction), and (iii) delivery of a treasury order or other appropriate order duly executed by a duly authorized officer of the Company. So long as you have previously received written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement covering resales of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “1933 Act”), and no subsequent notice by the Company or its counsel of the suspension or termination of its effectiveness, then certificates representing the Warrant Shares shall not bear any legend restricting transfer of the Warrant Shares thereby and should not be subject to any stop-transfer restriction. Provided, however, that if you have not previously received written confirmation from counsel to the Company that a registration statement covering resales of the Warrant Shares has been declared effective by the SEC under the 1933 Act, then the certificates for the Warrant Shares shall bear the following legend:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS, OR INTELLIGENTIAS, INC. SHALL HAVE RECEIVED AN OPINION OF ITS COUNSEL THAT REGISTRATION OF SUCH SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND UNDER THE PROVISIONS OF APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS IS NOT REQUIRED.”
 
5

 
and, provided further, that the Company may from time to time notify you to place stop-transfer restrictions on the certificates for the Warrant Shares in the event a registration statement covering the Warrant Shares is subject to amendment for events then current.
 
Please be advised that the Purchasers are relying upon this letter as an inducement to enter into the Purchase Agreement and, accordingly, each Purchaser is a third party beneficiary to these instructions.
 
Please execute this letter in the space indicated to acknowledge your agreement to act in accordance with these instructions. Should you have any questions concerning this matter, please contact me at ___________.
     
 
Very truly yours,

EXHIBIT F
FORM OF OPINION

1. The Company is a corporation duly incorporated, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Colorado and has the requisite corporate power to own, lease and operate its properties and assets, and to carry on its business as presently conducted. The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in every jurisdiction in which the failure to so qualify would have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
2. The Company has the requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform its obligations under the Transaction Documents and to issue the Notes, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants. The execution, delivery and performance of each of the Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of the transactions contemplated thereby have been duly and validly authorized by all necessary corporate action and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors or its stockholders is required. Each of the Transaction Documents have been duly executed and delivered, and the Notes and the Warrants have been duly executed, issued and delivered by the Company and each of the Transaction Documents constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its respective terms. The Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants are not subject to any preemptive rights under the Articles of Incorporation or the Bylaws.
 
3. The Notes and the Warrants have been duly authorized and, when delivered against payment in full as provided in the Purchase Agreement, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants have been duly authorized and reserved for issuance, and when delivered upon conversion or against payment in full as provided in the Notes and the Warrants, as applicable, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable.
 
4. The execution, delivery and performance of and compliance with the terms of the Transaction Documents and the issuance of the Notes, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of the Warrants do not (a) violate any provision of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, (b) conflict with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, mortgage, deed of trust, indenture, note, bond, license, lease agreement, instrument or obligation to which the Company is a party and which is set forth on Schedule I, (c) create or impose a lien, charge or encumbrance on any property of the Company under any agreement or any commitment which is set forth on Schedule I to which the Company is a party or by which the Company is bound or by which any of its respective properties or assets are bound, or (d) result in a violation of any Federal, state, local or foreign statute, rule, regulation, order, judgment, injunction or decree (including Federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the Company or by which any property or asset of the Company is bound or affected, except, in all cases other than violations pursuant to clauses (a) and (d) above, for such conflicts, default, terminations, amendments, acceleration, cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
9

 
5. No consent, approval or authorization of or designation, declaration or filing with any governmental authority on the part of the Company is required under Federal, state or local law, rule or regulation in connection with the valid execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction Documents, or the offer, sale or issuance of the Notes, the Warrants and the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants other than filings as may be required by applicable Federal and state securities laws and regulations and any applicable stock exchange rules and regulations.
 
6. To our knowledge, there is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending or threatened against the Company which questions the validity of the Purchase Agreement, the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby or any action taken or to be taken pursuant thereto. There is no action, suit, claim, investigation or proceeding pending, or to our knowledge, threatened, against or involving the Company or any of its properties or assets and which, if adversely determined, is reasonably likely to result in a Material Adverse Effect. To our knowledge, there are no outstanding orders, judgments, injunctions, awards or decrees of any court, arbitrator or governmental or regulatory body against the Company or any officers or directors of the Company in their capacities as such.
 
7. Assuming that all of the Purchasers’ representations and warranties in the Purchase Agreement are complete and accurate, the offer, issuance and sale of the Notes and the Warrants and the offer, issuance and sale of the Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Warrants are exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
 
8. The Security Agreement will create a valid security interest in favor of the Purchasers in such assets of the Company that are subject to such Security Agreement.
 
9. The financing statement on form UCC-1, a copy of which is attached hereto as Schedule [X] (the “Financing Statement”) is in appropriate form for filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado under the Uniform Commercial Code in effect in that State (the “Colorado UCC”). The security interest created in favor of the Purchasers by the Security Agreement in those items and types of Collateral described in the Security Agreement in which a security interest may be perfected by the filing of a financing statement under the Colorado UCC will be perfected upon the filing of the Financing Statement with the Secretary of State of the State of Colorado, together with the payment of requisite filing or recording fees.
 
10. The Company is not, and as a result of and immediately upon Closing will not be, an “investment company” or a company “controlled” by an “investment company,” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
 
10
