BACKGROUND
A. The parties desire that, upon the terms and subject to the conditions contained herein, the Company shall issue to the Purchasers, and the Purchasers shall purchase from the Company, shares of the Company’s Series B Convertible Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) as part of an offering of Series B Preferred Stock by the Company to the Purchasers.
B. Velocitas desires to loan the Company an aggregate amount equal to $1,000,000 in two equal tranches of $500,000, in exchange for the issuance of convertible promissory notes in the aggregate principal amount of $1,000,000, convertible into shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and the issuance of a warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock.
C. The Company and the Purchasers are executing and delivering this Agreement in reliance upon an exemption from securities registration afforded by the rules and regulations promulgated by the United State Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) under the Securities Act of 1933), as amended (the “Securities Act”).
AGREEMENT
In consideration of the mutual covenants set forth herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the Company and Purchaser agree as follows:
1. | Purchase and Sale of Preferred Stock; Issuance of Warrant and Note. |

The Purchasers shall have the right to determine the aggregate number of Preferred Shares to be purchased by the Purchasers at the Second Closing by written notice to the Company containing a substitute Exhibit A at least two (2) Business Days prior to the Second Closing; provided, that the aggregate Purchase Price of the number of Preferred Shares to be purchased by the Purchasers at the Second Closing as reflected in such substitute Exhibit A shall be at least two million dollars ($2,000,000) and shall not exceed five million dollars ($5,000,000).
