a.       Investment
Purpose. As of the date hereof, the Buyer is purchasing the Note and the shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
or otherwise pursuant to the Note, such shares of Common Stock being collectively referred to herein as the “Conversion
Shares” and, collectively with the Note, the “Securities”) for its own account and not with a present view towards
the public sale or distribution thereof, except pursuant to sales registered or exempted from registration under the 1933 Act;
provided, however, that by making the representations herein, the Buyer does not agree to hold any of the Securities
for any minimum or other specific term and reserves the right to dispose of the Securities at any time in accordance with or pursuant
to a registration statement or an exemption under the 1933 Act.


 


b.       Accredited
Investor Status. The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D
(an “Accredited Investor”). Any of Buyer’s transferees, assignees, or purchasers must be “accredited investors”
in order to qualify as prospective transferees, permitted assignees in the case of Buyer’s or Holder’s transfer, assignment
or sale of the Note.


 


c.       Reliance
on Exemptions. The Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions
from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the

d.       Information.
The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been, and for so long as the Note remain outstanding will continue to be, furnished with
all materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and materials relating to the offer and sale of
the Securities which have been requested by the Buyer or its advisors. The Buyer and its advisors, if any, have been, and for
so long as the Note remain outstanding will continue to be, afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company. Notwithstanding
the foregoing, the Company has not disclosed to the Buyer any material nonpublic information and will not disclose such information
unless such information is disclosed to the public prior to or promptly following such disclosure to the Buyer. Neither such inquiries
nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by Buyer or any of its advisors or representatives shall modify, amend or
affect Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. The Buyer
understands that its investment in the Securities involves a significant degree of risk. The Buyer is not aware of any facts that
may constitute a breach of any of the Company's representations and warranties made herein.


 


e.       Governmental
Review. The Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency
has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.


 


f.       Transfer
or Re-sale. The Buyer understands that (i) the sale or re-sale of the Securities has not been and is not being registered
under the 1933 Act or any applicable state securities laws, and the Securities may not be transferred unless (a) the Securities
are sold pursuant to an effective registration statement under the 1933 Act, (b) in the case of subparagraphs (c), (d) and
(e) below, the Buyer shall have delivered to the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, an opinion of counsel that shall be in form,
substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions to the effect that the Securities to be sold
or transferred may be sold, or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, including the removal of any restrictive
legend which opinion shall be accepted by the Company, (c) the Securities are sold or transferred to an “affiliate”
(as defined in Rule 144 promulgated under the 1933 Act (or a successor rule) (“Rule 144”) of the Buyer who agrees
to sell or otherwise transfer the Securities only in accordance with this Section 2(f) and who is an Accredited Investor, (d) the
Securities are sold pursuant to Rule 144, or (e) the Securities are sold pursuant to Regulation S under the 1933 Act (or
a successor rule) (“Regulation S”); (ii) any sale of such Securities made in reliance on Rule 144 may be made only
in accordance with the terms of said Rule and further, if said Rule is not applicable, any re-sale of such Securities under circumstances
in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined
in the 1933 Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder;
and (iii) neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such Securities under the 1933 Act or any
state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder (in each case). Notwithstanding the
foregoing or anything else contained herein to the contrary, the Securities may be pledged as collateral in connection with a
bona fide margin account or other lending arrangement.

g.       Legends.
The Buyer understands that the Note and, until such time as the Conversion Shares have been registered under the 1933 Act will
be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that
can then be immediately sold, the Conversion Shares may bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer
order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such Securities):


 


“NEITHER
THE ISSUANCE AND SALE OF THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE NOR THE SECURITIES INTO WHICH THESE SECURITIES ARE EXERCISABLE
HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE SECURITIES MAY NOT
BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED (I) IN THE ABSENCE OF (A) AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES
UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR (B) AN OPINION OF COUNSEL (WHICH COUNSEL SHALL BE SELECTED BY THE HOLDER), IN
A GENERALLY ACCEPTABLE FORM, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER SAID ACT OR (II) UNLESS SOLD PURSUANT TO RULE 144 OR RULE
144A UNDER SAID ACT. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE SECURITIES MAY BE PLEDGED IN CONNECTION WITH A BONA FIDE MARGIN ACCOUNT
OR OTHER LOAN OR FINANCING ARRANGEMENT SECURED BY THE SECURITIES.”


 


The
legend set forth above shall be removed and the Company shall issue a certificate without such legend to the holder of any Security
upon which it is stamped, if, unless otherwise required by applicable state securities laws, (a) such Security is registered for
sale under an effective registration statement filed under the 1933 Act or otherwise may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 or Regulation
S without any restriction as to the number of securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, and (b) such
holder provides the Company with an opinion of counsel, in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable
transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Security may be made without registration under the 1933 Act,
and that legend removal is appropriate, which opinion shall be accepted by the Company so that the sale or transfer is effected.
The Buyer agrees to sell all Securities, including those represented by a certificate(s) from which the legend has been removed,
in compliance with applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any. In the event that the Company does not accept the opinion
of counsel provided by the Buyer with respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as
Rule 144 or Regulation S, within 2 business days, it will be considered an Event of Default under the Note.


 


h.       Authorization;
Enforcement. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized. This Agreement has been duly executed and delivered on behalf
of the Buyer, and this Agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement of the Buyer enforceable in accordance with its terms.


 


i.       Residency.
The Buyer is a resident of the jurisdiction set forth immediately below the Buyer’s name on the signature pages hereto.


 






    	 	4	 



     

    

 


j.       
No Short Sales. Buyer/Holder, its successors and assigns, agree that so long as the Note remains outstanding, the Buyer/Holder
shall not enter into or effect “short sales” of the Common Stock or hedging transaction which establishes a short
position with respect to the Common Stock of the Company. The Company acknowledges and agrees that upon delivery of a Conversion
Notice by the Buyer/Holder, the Buyer/Holder immediately owns the shares of Common Stock described in the Conversion Notice and
any sale of those shares issuable under such Conversion Notice would not be considered short sales.


 


3.       Representations
and Warranties of the Company. The Company represents and warrants to the Buyer that:


 


a.       Organization
and Qualification. The Company and each of its subsidiaries, if any, is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and
in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction in which it is incorporated, with full power and authority (corporate and
other) to own, lease, use and operate its properties and to carry on its business as and where now owned, leased, used, operated
and conducted.


 


b.       Authorization;
Enforcement. (i) The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to enter into and perform this Agreement, the
Note and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and to issue the Securities, in accordance with the terms
hereof and thereof, (ii) the execution and delivery of this Agreement, the Note by the Company and the consummation by it of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including without limitation, the issuance of the Note and the issuance and reservation
for issuance of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion or exercise thereof) have been duly authorized by the Company’s
Board of Directors and no further consent or authorization of the Company, its Board of Directors, or its shareholders is required,
(iii) this Agreement has been duly executed and delivered by the Company by its authorized representative, and such authorized
representative is the true and official representative with authority to sign this Agreement and the other documents executed
in connection herewith and bind the Company accordingly, and (iv) this Agreement constitutes, and upon execution and delivery
by the Company of the Note, each of such instruments will constitute, a legal, valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable
against the Company in accordance with its terms.


 


c.       Issuance
of Shares. The Conversion Shares are duly authorized and reserved for issuance and, upon conversion of the Note in accordance
with its respective terms, will be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable, and free from all taxes, liens, claims and encumbrances
with respect to the issue thereof and shall not be subject to preemptive rights or other similar rights of shareholders of the
Company and will not impose personal liability upon the holder thereof.


 






    	 	5	 



     

    

 


d.       Acknowledgment
of Dilution. The Company understands and acknowledges the potentially dilutive effect to the Common Stock upon the issuance
of the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note. The Company further acknowledges that its obligation to issue Conversion
Shares upon conversion of the Note in accordance with this Agreement, the Note is absolute and unconditional regardless of the
dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.


 


e.       No
Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement, the Note by the Company and the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation, the issuance and reservation for issuance
of the Conversion Shares) will not (i) conflict with or result in a violation of any provision of the Certificate of Incorporation
or By-laws, or (ii) violate or conflict with, or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event
which with notice or lapse of time or both could become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement, indenture, patent, patent license or instrument to which the Company or any of
its subsidiaries is a party, or (iii) result in a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including
federal and state securities laws and regulations and regulations of any self-regulatory organizations to which the Company or
its securities are subject) applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries or by which any property or asset of the Company
or any of its subsidiaries is bound or affected (except for such conflicts, defaults, terminations, amendments, accelerations,
cancellations and violations as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect). All consents, authorizations,
orders, filings and registrations which the Company is required to obtain pursuant to the preceding sentence have been obtained
or effected on or prior to the date hereof. The Company is not in violation of the listing requirements of the OTC marketplace
(the “OTC MARKETPLACE”) and does not reasonably anticipate that the Common Stock will be delisted by the OTC MARKETPLACE
in the foreseeable future, nor are the Company’s securities “chilled” by DTC. The Company and its subsidiaries
are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.


 


f.       Absence
of Litigation. Except as disclosed in the Company’s Periodic Report filings with the SEC, there is no action, suit,
claim, proceeding, inquiry or investigation before or by any court, public board, government agency, self-regulatory organization
or body pending or, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company or
any of its subsidiaries, or their officers or directors in their capacity as such, that could have a material adverse effect.
Schedule 3(f) contains a complete list and summary description of any pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened
proceeding against or affecting the Company or any of its subsidiaries, without regard to whether it would have a material adverse
effect. The Company and its subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.


 


g.       Acknowledgment
Regarding Buyer’ Purchase of Securities. The Company acknowledges and agrees that the Buyer is acting solely in the
capacity of arm’s length purchasers with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby. The Company
further acknowledges that the Buyer is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in any similar capacity)
with respect to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby and any statement made by the Buyer or any of its respective
representatives or agents in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby is not advice or a recommendation
and is merely incidental to the Buyer’ purchase of the Securities. The Company further represents to the Buyer that the
Company’s decision to enter into this Agreement has been based solely on the independent evaluation of the Company and its
representatives.

h.       No
Integrated Offering. 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 in any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would
require registration under the 1933 Act of the issuance of the Securities to the Buyer.


 


i.       Title
to Property. The Company and its subsidiaries have good and marketable title in fee simple to all real property and good and
marketable title to all personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company and its subsidiaries,
in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and defects except for a lien on the Company’s real property at 2100
Highway 34, Wall, NJ 07719 to secure a mortgage loan on said real property and except such as would not have a material adverse
effect. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company and its subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting
and enforceable leases with such exceptions as would not have a material adverse effect.


 


j.       Bad
Actor. No officer or director of the Company would be disqualified under Rule 506(d) of the Securities Act as amended on the
basis of being a "bad actor" as that term is established in the September 19, 2013 Small Entity Compliance Guide
published by the Securities and Exchange Commission.


 


k.       Breach
of Representations and Warranties by the Company. If the Company breaches any of the representations or warranties set forth
in this Section 3, and in addition to any other remedies available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered
an Event of default under the Note.


 


4.       COVENANTS.


 


a.       Expenses.
At the Closing, the Company shall reimburse Buyer for expenses incurred by them in connection with the negotiation, preparation,
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the other agreements to be executed in connection herewith (“Documents”),
including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ and consultants’ fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, fees
for stock quotation services, fees relating to any amendments or modifications of the Documents or any consents or waivers of
provisions in the Documents, fees for the preparation of opinions of counsel, escrow fees, and costs of restructuring the transactions
contemplated by the Documents. When possible, the Company must pay these fees directly, otherwise the Company must make immediate
payment for reimbursement to the Buyer for all fees and expenses immediately upon written notice by the Buyer or the submission
of an invoice by the Buyer. The Company shall also be responsible for all costs relating to the issuance of the shares issuable
upon conversion of the Note.

b.       Listing.
The Company shall promptly secure the listing of the Conversion Shares upon each national securities exchange or automated quotation
system, if any, upon which shares of Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance) and, so long as the
Buyer owns any of the Note Securities, shall maintain, so long as any other shares of Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing
of all Conversion Shares from time to time issuable upon conversion of the Note. The Company will obtain and, so long as the Buyer
owns any of the Securities, maintain the listing and trading of its Common Stock on the OTC MARKETPLACE or any equivalent replacement
market, the Nasdaq stock market (“Nasdaq”), the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), or the American Stock
Exchange (“AMEX”) and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations
under the bylaws or rules of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and such exchanges, as applicable.
The Company shall promptly provide to the Buyer copies of any notices it receives from the OTC MARKETPLACE and any other markets
on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding the continued eligibility of the Common Stock for listing on such markets.


 


c.       Corporate
Existence. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns the Note, the Company shall maintain its corporate existence and shall not
sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets, except in the event of a merger or consolidation or sale of all or
substantially all of the Company’s assets, where the surviving or successor entity in such transaction (i) assumes the Company’s
obligations hereunder and under the agreements and instruments entered into in connection herewith and (ii) is a publicly traded
corporation whose Common Stock is listed for trading on the OTC MARKETPLACE, Nasdaq, NYSE or AMEX.


 


d.       No
Integration. The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Securities) under circumstances
that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the 1933 Act or cause the offering of
the Securities to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval
provision applicable to the Company or its securities.


 


e.       Breach
of Covenants. If the Company breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other remedies

g.       Successors
and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and assigns.
Neither the Company nor the Buyer shall assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written

written consent of the Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and with Buyer’s Opinion of Counsel. A
qualified person is an “accredited investor” transferee, assignee, or purchaser of the Note who succeeds to the Holder’s
right, title and interest to all or a portion of the Note accompanied with an Opinion of Counsel as provided for in Section 2(f).


 


h.       Third
Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement is intended for the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors

indemnify and hold harmless the Buyer and all their officers, directors, employees and agents for loss or damage arising as a
result of or related to any breach or alleged breach by the Company of any of its representations, warranties and covenants set
forth in this Agreement or any of its covenants and obligations under this Agreement, including advancement of expenses as they
are incurred.


 


j.       Further
Assurances. Each party shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall
execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request
in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
hereby.


 


k.       No
Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be the language chosen by the parties to express
their mutual intent, and no rules of strict construction will be applied against any party.


 


l.       Remedies.
The Company acknowledges that a breach by it of its obligations hereunder will cause irreparable harm to the Buyer 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 Agreement will be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened breach
by the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies
at law or in equity, and in addition to the penalties assessable herein, to an injunction or injunctions restraining, preventing
or curing any breach of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without the necessity of showing
economic loss and without any bond or other security being required.
