1. Sale of the Subject Shares.

(a) Sale/Purchase. Upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, Seller hereby sells, assigns and transfers the Subject Shares to the Company, free and clear of any and all claims, liens (including liens for taxes), mortgages, security interests, pledges, leases, options, rights of first refusal or first offer, charges and other encumbrances, and the Company hereby purchases the Subject Shares from Seller.

(b) Purchase Price. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and in reliance on the representations and warranties of the Seller, the Company hereby purchases the Subject Shares from Seller, and in full consideration therefor, the Company shall pay to Seller $459,776.25 for the Subject Shares or $2.25 per share, (the “Purchase Price”), which shall be paid to Seller in accordance with Section 1(d).

2. Representations and Warranties of Seller. Seller hereby represents and warrants to the Company that:

(a) Authority. Seller has the absolute and unrestricted power and authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, to carry out his obligations hereunder and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by Seller and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery hereof by the Company, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of Seller, enforceable in accordance with the terms hereof, except as such enforceability may be limited by bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general principles of equity.

(b) Title. Seller has good and indefeasible title to the Subject Shares, free and clear of any claims, liens (including liens for taxes), mortgages, security interests, pledges, leases, options, rights of first refusal or first offer, charges and other encumbrances. Other than this Agreement, there are no outstanding subscriptions, options, warrants, rights, contracts, understandings or agreements to purchase or otherwise acquire the Subject Shares.

(c) Capitalization. The Subject Shares represent all of the outstanding shares of the capital stock of the Company owned, directly or indirectly, by Seller, except for 5,616 shares held in custodian accounts for the children of the Seller.

(d) No Litigation.

(e) No Conflicts. Neither the execution and delivery of this Agreement nor the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will (i) violate or breach, or otherwise constitute or give rise to a default under, the terms or provisions of any contract, commitment or other obligation to which Seller, or to the knowledge of Seller, the Company, is a party; (ii) create or result in the creation of any encumbrance or lien on any of the Subject Stock; (iii) result in a violation by Seller or the Company of any applicable legal requirement; or (iv) otherwise constitute an event which, with notice, lapse of time, or both, would result in any of the foregoing.

3. Consents.
