The Notes and shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes (the “Conversion Shares”) are collectively referred to herein as the “Securities”; and







WHEREAS, the aggregate proceeds of the sale of the Notes contemplated hereby (“Purchase Price”) shall be held in escrow by Ofsink, LLC (the “Escrow Agent”) pursuant to the terms of an Escrow Agreement to be executed by the parties substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (the “Escrow Agreement”).







NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and other agreements contained in this Agreement the Company and the Subscribers hereby agree as follows:








1.             Closing.  Subject to the satisfaction or waiver of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the Closing Date (as defined herein), Subscribers shall purchase and the Company shall sell to such Subscribers the New Notes as described in Section 2 below.

3.             Security Interest.   The Company and Subscribers hereby agree that the Security Agreement dated as of April 27, 2012 entered into by them (the “Security Agreement”) shall hereby be amended so that the New Notes purchased hereunder shall be secured pari passu with the Notes referenced therein as an inducement for the Subscribers to extend the loans evidenced by the New Notes.

The Company represents that the foregoing representations and warranties are true and correct as of the date hereof in all material respects, and, unless the Company otherwise notifies the Subscribers prior to the Closing Date, shall be true and correct in all material respects as of the Closing Date; provided, that, if such representation or warranty is made as of a different date, in which case such representation or warranty shall be true as of such date.







(nn)        Survival.  The foregoing representations and warranties shall survive the Closing Date.







6.            Regulation D Offering/Legal Opinions.  The offer and issuance of the Securities to the Subscribers is being made pursuant to the exemption from the registration provisions of the 1933 Act afforded by Section 4(2) or Section 4(6) of the 1933 Act and/or Rule 506 of Regulation D promulgated thereunder.

The Company will provide, at the Company’s expense, to the Subscribers and the Company’s transfer agent, such other legal opinions, if any, as are reasonably necessary in each Subscriber’s opinion for the issuance and resale of Notes and Conversion Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or an exemption from registration.







7.1.          Conversion of Notes.







(a)           Upon the conversion of a New Note or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action, including obtaining and delivering an opinion of counsel to assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue stock certificates in the name of a Subscriber (or its permitted nominee) or such other persons as designated by Subscriber and in such denominations to be specified at conversion representing the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion.  The Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company’s Common Stock and that the certificates representing such shares shall contain no legend other than the legend set forth in Section 4(h).  If and when a Subscriber sells the Conversion Shares, assuming (i) a registration statement including such Conversion Shares for registration has been filed with the Commission, is effective and the prospectus, as supplemented or amended, contained therein is current and (ii) Subscriber or its agent confirms in writing to the transfer agent, the Company and the Company’s counsel that Subscriber has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements and the plan of distribution contained therein, the Company will reissue the Conversion Shares without restrictive legend and the Conversion Shares will be free-trading, and freely transferable.  In the event that a Subscriber complies with an exemption from registration, the Company will promptly instruct its counsel to issue to the transfer agent an opinion permitting removal of the legend, provided that Subscriber delivers reasonably requested representations in support of such opinion and applicable law permits such shares to be resold without restriction.

(b)           Each Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert its New Note, interest, or part thereof by telecopying, or otherwise delivering a completed Notice of Conversion (a form of which is annexed as Exhibit A to the Note) to the Company via confirmed telecopier transmission or otherwise pursuant to Section 13(a) of this Agreement.  Subscribers will not be required to surrender the New Note until the New Note has been fully converted or satisfied.  Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof by 6 PM Eastern Time (“ET”) (or if received by the Company after 6 PM ET, then the next business day) shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.”  The Company will itself or cause the Company’s transfer agent to transmit the Company’s Common Stock certificates representing the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the New Note to Subscriber via express courier for receipt by Subscriber within three (3) business days after the Conversion Date (such third day being the “Delivery Date”).  In the event the Conversion Shares are transferable without restriction under applicable securities law and otherwise eligible for electronic transfer, then delivery of the Shares must be made by electronically transmitting the Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, if such transfer agent participates in such DWAC system, provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber.   A New Note representing the balance of the new Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided Subscriber delivers the original New Note to the Company.







(c)           The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof later than the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Subscribers.  As compensation to Subscribers for such loss, the Company agrees to pay (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to each applicable Subscriber for late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 7.1 hereof upon Conversion of the Note, the amount of $100 per business day after the Delivery Date for the first ten (10) business days and thereafter $20 per business day for each $10,000 of New Note principal amount and interest (and proportionately for other amounts) being converted of the corresponding Conversion Shares which are not timely delivered.  The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section upon demand.  Furthermore, in addition to any other remedies which may be available to the Subscribers, in the event that the Company fails for any reason to effect delivery of the Conversion Shares on or before the Delivery Date, the Subscriber will be entitled to revoke all or part of the relevant Notice of Conversion by delivery of a notice to such effect to the Company whereupon the Company and Subscriber shall each be restored to their respective positions immediately prior to the delivery of such notice, except that the damages payable in connection with the Company’s default shall be payable through the date notice of revocation or rescission is given to the Company.







7.2.           Mandatory Redemption at Subscriber’s Election.  In the event (i) the Company is prohibited from issuing Conversion Shares, (ii) upon the occurrence of any other Event of Default (as defined in the Note, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document), that continues beyond any applicable cure period, (iii) a Change in Control (as defined below) occurs, or (iv) upon the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company or any Subsidiary, then at the Subscriber's election, the Company must pay to each Subscriber not later than ten (10) days after receiving request by such Subscriber ("Mandatory Redemption Payment Date"), a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the New Note designated by each such Subscriber by, at Subscriber’s election, the greater of (i) 120%, or (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the highest closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty days preceding the date demand is made by Subscriber pursuant to this Section 7.2 and the denominator of which is the lowest applicable conversion price during such thirty (30) day period, plus accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts due under the Transaction Documents ("Mandatory Redemption Payment"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding New Note principal, interest and other amounts will be deemed paid and no longer outstanding.  The Subscriber may rescind the election to receive a Mandatory Redemption Payment at any time until such payment is actually received.  Liquidated damages calculated pursuant to Section 7.1(c) hereof, that have been paid or accrued for the ten (10) day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by such Subscriber shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment provided the balance of the Mandatory Redemption Payment is timely paid.  For purposes of this Section 7.2, “Change in Control” shall mean (i) the Company  becoming a Subsidiary of another entity (other than a corporation formed by the Company for purposes of reincorporation in another U.S. jurisdiction), (ii) the sale, lease or transfer of substantially all the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) a business transaction or reorganization as a result of which the shareholders of the Company immediately prior to the transaction or reorganization hold less than a majority of the voting interests of the surviving corporation or other entity after the transaction or reorganization, or any similar corporate or other reorganization on or after the Closing Date, (iv) a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors as of the Closing Date no longer serving as directors of the Company, except as a result of natural causes or as a result of hiring additional outside directors in order to meet appropriate stock exchange requirements, or (v) Charles Merchant, Sr. no longer being a director and chief executive officer of the Company after his initial appointment to such positions.     Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, the Land Purchase (as such term is defined in the Information Statement and used herein) and/or the Distribution shall not constitute a Change of Control.

7.3.           Maximum Conversion.  A Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of a New Note nor may the Company make any payment including principal, interest, or liquidated or other damages by delivery of Conversion Shares in connection with that number of Conversion Shares which would be in excess of the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by such Subscriber and its Affiliates on a Conversion Date or payment date, and (ii) the number of Conversion Shares issuable upon the conversion of the New Note with respect to which the determination of this provision is being made on a calculation date, which would result in beneficial ownership by Subscriber and its Affiliates of more than 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company on such Conversion Date.  For the purposes of the immediately preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Rule 13d-3 thereunder.  Subject to the foregoing, the Subscriber shall not be limited to aggregate conversions of only 4.99% and aggregate conversions by the Subscriber may exceed 4.99%.  To the extent that the limitation contained in this Section 7.3 applies, the determination of whether a New Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Subscriber together with any Affiliates) and of which a portion of a New Note is convertible shall be in the sole discretion of the Subscriber, and the submission of a Conversion Notice shall be deemed to be the Subscriber’s determination of whether a New Note is convertible (in relation to other securities owned by the Subscriber together with any Affiliates) and of which portion of a New Note is exercisable, in each case subject to such aggregate percentage limitation, and the Company shall have no obligation to verify or confirm the accuracy of such determination.  The Subscriber may modify the permitted beneficial ownership amount upon and effective after 61 days prior written notice to the Company.  Subscriber may allocate which of the equity of the Company deemed beneficially owned by Subscriber shall be included in the 4.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above 4.99%.







7.4.           Injunction Posting of Bond.  In the event a Subscriber shall elect to convert a New Note or part thereof, the Company may not refuse conversion or exercise based on any claim that Subscriber or anyone associated or affiliated with Subscriber has been engaged in any violation of law, or for any other reason, unless, a final non-appealable injunction from a court made on notice to Subscriber, restraining and or enjoining conversion of all or part of such New Note shall have been sought and obtained by the Company or the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of Subscriber in the amount of 120% of the greater of the outstanding principal and accrued but unpaid interest of the New Note, or aggregate purchase price of the Conversion Shares, which are sought to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to Subscriber to the extent the judgment or decision is in Subscriber’s favor.

7.5.           Buy-In.   In addition to any other rights available to Subscribers, if the Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Conversion Shares by the Delivery Date and if after the Delivery Date Subscriber or a broker on Subscriber’s behalf purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of Common Stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by Subscriber of the Common Stock which Subscriber was entitled to receive upon such conversion (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall pay to Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the New Note for which such conversion request was not timely honored together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum, accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).  For example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to an attempted conversion of $10,000 of New Note principal and/or interest, the Company shall be required to pay Subscriber $1,000, plus interest. Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice and evidence indicating the amounts payable to Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.







7.6.           Redemption.    The New Note shall not be prepayable, redeemable or callable by the Company, without the Subscriber’s consent except as set forth in the New Note.







8.             Fees.







(a)          Commission.

The Company represents that there are no parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, or similar payments in connection with the Offering except for the fees of the Company’s counsel.

The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale, resale or delivery of any of the Securities, except as may be required by any applicable federal or state securities laws and unless contemporaneous notice of such instruction is given to the Subscribers.

The Company will maintain the quotation or listing of its Common Stock on the NYSE Amex Equities, Nasdaq Capital Market, Nasdaq Global Market, Nasdaq Global Select Market, Bulletin Board, or New York Stock Exchange (whichever of the foregoing is at the time the principal trading exchange or market for the Common Stock (the “Principal Market”), and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market, as applicable.

The Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts not to take any action or file any document (whether or not permitted by the 1933 Act or the 1934 Act or the rules thereunder) to terminate or suspend such registration or to terminate or suspend its reporting and filing obligations under said acts until the End Date.  Until the End Date, the Company will continue the listing or quotation of the Common Stock on a Principal Market and will comply in all respects with the Company’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the Principal Market.  The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with respect to the Securities if required under Regulation D.

In the Form 8-K, the Company will specifically disclose the amount of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Closing.  Upon  delivery by the Company to the Subscribers after the Closing Date of any notice or information, in writing, electronically or otherwise, and while New Notes are held by Subscribers, unless the  Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, the Company  shall within four (4) business days after any such delivery publicly disclose such  material,  nonpublic  information on a current report on Form 8-K.  In the event that the Company believes that a notice or communication to Subscribers contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, the Company shall so indicate to Subscribers prior to delivery of such notice or information.  Subscribers will be granted sufficient time to notify the Company that Subscriber elects not to receive such information.   In such case, the Company will not deliver such information to Subscribers.  In the absence of any such indication, Subscribers shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice and information do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries.







(o)          Non-Public Information.  The Company covenants and agrees that except for the Reports, Other Written Information and schedules and exhibits to this Agreement and the Transaction Documents, which information the Company undertakes to publicly disclose on the Form 8-K described in Section 9(n) above, neither it nor any other person acting on its behalf will at any time provide any Subscriber or its agents or counsel with any information that the Company believes constitutes material non-public information, unless prior thereto such Subscriber, its agent or counsel shall have agreed in writing to accept such information as described in Section 9(n) above.  The Company understands and confirms that the Subscribers shall be relying on the foregoing representations in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.  The Company agrees that any information known to Subscriber not already made public by the Company may be made public and disclosed by the Subscriber.

So long as the New Notes are outstanding without a consent of a Majority in Interest, the Company shall not, and shall cause each of its Subsidiaries not to, enter into, materially amend, materially modify or materially supplement, or permit any Subsidiary to enter into, materially amend, materially modify or materially supplement, any agreement, transaction, commitment, or arrangement relating to the sale, transfer or assignment of any of the Company’s tangible or intangible assets with any of its Insiders (as defined below)(or any persons who were Insiders at any time during the previous two (2) years), or any Affiliates (as defined below) thereof, or with any individual related by blood, marriage, or adoption to any such individual.

(a)           The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Subscribers, the Subscribers’ officers, directors, agents, counsel, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders, against any claim, cost, expense, liability, obligation, loss or damage (including reasonable legal fees) of any nature, incurred by or imposed upon the Subscribers or any such person which results, arises out of or is based upon (i) any material misrepresentation by Company or breach of any representation or warranty by Company in this Agreement, or in any Exhibits or Schedules attached hereto, in any Transaction Document, or other agreement delivered pursuant hereto or in connection herewith, now or after the date hereof; or (ii) after any applicable notice and/or cure periods, any breach or default in performance by the Company of any covenant or undertaking to be performed by the Company hereunder, or any other agreement entered into by the Company and Subscribers relating hereto.

(b)           In no event shall the liability of the Subscribers or permitted successor hereunder or under any Transaction Document or other agreement delivered in connection herewith be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber or successor upon the sale of Conversion Shares.







11.1.         Registration Rights.  The Company hereby grants the following registration rights to holders of the Securities.







(i)           On one occasion, commencing fifty (50) days after the Closing Date, but not later than the earlier of (i) eighteen (18) months after the Closing Date or (ii) the date when the Conversion Shares can be resold or transferred by the Subscribers pursuant to Rule 144, without volume or manner of sale restrictions, upon a written request therefor from any record holder or holders of more than 50% of the Conversion Shares issued and issuable upon conversion of the outstanding New Notes, the Company shall prepare and not later than sixty (60) days after such request (“Filing Date”) file with the Commission a registration statement under the 1933 Act registering the Registrable Securities which are the subject of such request, subject to applicable Commission rules and regulations, for unrestricted public resale by the holder thereof.  “Registrable Securities” shall mean 125% of the Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of the New Note including Conversion Shares issuable upon conversion of New Note principal and interest calculated at the default interest rate through one year after the Maturity Date (as defined in the New Note).  For purposes of Sections 11.1(i) and 11.1(ii), Registrable Securities shall not include Securities which are (A) registered for resale in an effective registration statement, (B) included for registration in a pending registration statement, or (C) which have been issued without further transfer restrictions after a sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.  Upon the receipt of such request, the Company shall promptly give written notice to all other record holders of the Registrable Securities that such registration statement is to be filed and shall include in such registration statement Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests within ten days after the Company gives such written notice.  Such other requesting record holders shall be deemed to have exercised their demand registration right under this Section 11.1(i).







(ii)           If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with respect to registration statements on Forms S-4, S-8 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public, provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Subscribers or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such time it will give at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the record holder of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder, received by the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company, to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously registered, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the holder of such Registrable Securities (the “Seller” or “Sellers”). In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced by the managing underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such reduction. Unless the Holder notifies the Company in writing that it elects to deem the registration statement filed or to be filed pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) as a registration statement filed or to be filed pursuant to Section 11.1(ii), the Company may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Section 11.1(ii) without thereby incurring any liability to the Seller.


 




  





22











  






 


(iii)           In the event that the Company is required by the Commission to cutback the number of shares being registered in the registration statement pursuant to Rule 415, the Company shall reduce the Registrable Securities proportionately among the Holders based on the amount of Registrable Securities included therein for each of the Holders (“Registration Cutback”).  The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of each Subscriber, pro rata, and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than each Subscriber.  Not later than twenty (20) days after first being permitted by applicable Commission rules and regulations, the registration statement will be amended by the Company or additional registration statements will be filed by the Company as necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities.  Without the written consent of a Majority in Interest no securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities will be included in the registration statement.  It shall be deemed a default of the Company’s obligations if at any time after the date the registration statement is declared effective by the Commission (“Actual Effective Date”) the Company has registered for unrestricted resale on behalf of the Holders fewer than 90% of the amount of shares of Common Stock required to be registered therein (the difference between the amount required to be registered therein and the actual amount of shares registered being the “Shortfall”).  In such event, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause at least 125% of the amount of shares of Common Stock required to be registered therein to be registered within forty-five (45) days after the first day such Shortfall exists.  Failure to file the registration statement within thirty (30) days after the first day such Shortfall first exists or failure to cause such registration to become effective within forty-five (45) days after such Shortfall first exists shall be included in the definition of a Non-Registration Event set forth in Section 11.4.







11.2.         Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions of Section 11.1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:







(a)           subject to the timelines provided in this Agreement, prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement required by Section 11.1 with respect to such securities and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective for the period of the distribution contemplated thereby (determined as herein provided), promptly provide to the holders of the Registrable Securities copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment and notify the Sellers  (by telecopier and by e-mail addresses provided by the Subscribers) on or before the second  business day thereafter that the Company receives notice that (i) the Commission has no comments or no further comments on the registration statement, and (ii) the registration statement has been declared effective (failure to timely provide notice as required by this Section 11.2(a) shall be a material breach of the Company’s obligation and an Event of Default as defined in the New Notes and a Non-Registration Event as defined in Section 11.4 of this Agreement);







(b)           prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective until such registration statement has been effective for a period of one (1) year, and comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the disposition of all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the Sellers’ intended method of disposition set forth in such registration statement for such period;


 


(c)           furnish to the Sellers, at the Company’s expense, such number of copies of the registration statement and the prospectus included therein (including each preliminary prospectus) as such persons reasonably may request in order to facilitate the public sale or their disposition of the securities covered by such registration statement or make them electronically available;


 




  





23











  






 


(d)           use its commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of New York and such jurisdictions as the Sellers shall request in writing, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;







(e)           list the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;







(f)           notify the Sellers within twenty-four (24) hours of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus contained in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing or which becomes subject to a Commission, state or other governmental order suspending the effectiveness of the registration statement covering any of the Registrable Securities;







11.3.         Provision of Documents.  It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of a particular Subscriber that such Subscriber shall furnish to the Company in writing such information and representation letters, including a completed form of a securityholder questionnaire, with respect to itself and the proposed distribution by it as the Company may reasonably request to assure compliance with federal and applicable state securities laws.







11.4.         Non-Registration Events.  The Company agrees that the Sellers will suffer damages if the registration statement is not filed or is not declared effective by the Commission by the dates described herein and accordingly, if (A) due to the action or inaction of the Company a registration statement is not declared effective within five days after receipt by the Company or its attorneys of a written or oral communication from the Commission that the registration statement will not be reviewed or that the Commission has no further comments, (B) if the registration statement described in Section 11.1(i) or 11.1(ii) is not filed within sixty (60) days after such written request, or is not declared effective within one hundred and twenty (120) days after the filing of the registration statement or (C) any registration statement described in Sections 11.1(i) or 11.1(ii) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective without being succeeded within twenty-two (22) business days by an effective replacement or amended registration statement or for a period of time which shall exceed forty (45) days in the aggregate per year (defined as every rolling period of three hundred and sixty-five (365) consecutive days commencing on the effective date) (each such event shall be a “Non-Registration Event”), then the Company shall pay to the holder of Registrable Securities, as Liquidated Damages, an amount equal to two percent (2%) for each thirty (30) days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period of less than thirty (30) days) of the principal amount of the outstanding New Notes and purchase price of Conversion Shares issued upon conversion of New Notes held by Subscribers which are subject to such Non-Registration Event.   The Company must pay the Liquidated Damages in cash.  The Liquidated Damages must be paid within ten (10) days after the end of each thirty (30) day period or shorter part thereof for which Liquidated Damages are payable.  In the event a registration statement is filed but is withdrawn prior to being declared effective by the Commission, then such registration statement will be deemed to have not been filed and Liquidated Damages will be calculated accordingly.  All oral or written comments received from the Commission relating to a registration statement must be responded to within fifteen (15) business days after receipt of comments from the Commission.  Failure to timely respond to Commission comments is a Non-Registration Event for which Liquidated Damages shall accrue and be payable by the Company to the holders of Registrable Securities at the same rate and amounts set forth above calculated from the date the response was required to have been made.  Liquidated Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.4 in connection with Registrable Securities for such times as such Registrable Securities may be sold by the holder thereof without volume limitations or other restrictions pursuant to Section 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the no Liquidated Damages will be due in connection with Registrable Securities subject to a Registration Cutback and the Company shall not have to pay Liquidated Damages as the result of such cutback.

11.5.         Expenses.  All expenses incurred by the Company in complying with Section 11, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses (if required), fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of FINRA, transfer taxes, and fees of transfer agents and registrars, are called “Registration Expenses.” All underwriting discounts and selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities are called “Selling Expenses.”  The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration statement described in Section 11.  Selling Expenses in connection with each such registration statement shall be borne by the Seller and may be apportioned among the Sellers in proportion to the number of shares included on behalf of the Seller relative to the aggregate number of shares included under such registration statement for all Sellers, or as all Sellers thereunder may agree.







11.6.         Indemnification and Contribution.







(a)           In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, the Company will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Seller, each of the officers, directors, agents, Affiliates, members, managers, control persons, and principal shareholders of the Seller, each underwriter of such Registrable Securities thereunder and each other person, if any, who controls such Seller or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Seller, or such underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any registration statement under which such Registrable Securities was registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances when made, and will subject to the provisions of Section 11.6(c) reimburse the Seller, each such underwriter and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable to the Seller to the extent that any such damages arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or omission made in any preliminary prospectus if (i) the Seller failed to send or deliver a copy of the final prospectus delivered by the Company to the Seller with or prior to the delivery of written confirmation of the sale by the Seller to the person asserting the claim from which such damages arise, (ii) the final prospectus would have corrected such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or such omission or alleged omission, or (iii) to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by any such Seller in writing specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus.







(b)           In the event of a registration of any of the Registrable Securities under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, each Seller severally but not jointly will, to the extent permitted by law, indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the 1933 Act, each officer of the Company who signs the registration statement, each director of the Company, each underwriter and each person who controls any underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such officer, director, underwriter or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the registration statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the 1933 Act pursuant to Section 11, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such officer, director, underwriter and controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Seller will be liable hereunder in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with information pertaining to such Seller, as such, furnished in writing to the Company by such Seller specifically for use in such registration statement or prospectus, and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

(c)           Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party hereunder, notify the indemnifying party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party other than under this Section 11.6(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c), except and only if and to the extent the indemnifying party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such indemnified party, and, after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 11.6(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation and of liaison with counsel so selected, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the indemnified party and the indemnifying party and the indemnifying party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to indemnified party which are different from or additional to those available to the indemnifying party or if the interests of the indemnified party reasonably may be deemed to conflict with the interests of the indemnifying party, the indemnified parties, as a group, shall have the right to select one separate counsel, reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified and indemnifying party, and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the indemnifying party as incurred.







(d)           In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the 1933 Act in any case in which either (i) a Seller, or any controlling person of a Seller, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 11.6 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 11.6 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on the part of the Seller or controlling person of the Seller in circumstances for which indemnification is not provided under this Section 11.6; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Seller will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Seller is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the registration statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such registration statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (y) the Seller will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities sold by it pursuant to such registration statement; and (z) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation and provided, further, however, that the liability of the Seller hereunder shall be limited to the net proceeds actually received by the Seller from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

11.7.         Unlegended Shares and 144 Sales.







(a)           Delivery of Unlegended Shares.  Within five (5) days (such fifth day being the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Conversion Shares, or any other Common Stock held by Subscriber has been sold pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144 under the 1933 Act, (ii) a representation that the prospectus delivery requirements, or the requirements of Rule 144, as applicable and if required, have been satisfied, (iii) the original share certificates representing the shares of Common Stock that have been sold, and (iv) in the case of sales under Rule 144, customary representation letters of the Subscriber and, if required, Subscriber’s broker regarding compliance with the requirements of Rule 144, the Company at its expense, (y) shall deliver, and shall cause legal counsel selected by the Company to deliver to its transfer agent (with copies to Subscriber) an appropriate instruction and opinion of such counsel, directing the delivery of shares of Common Stock without any legends including the legend set forth in Section 4(h) above (the “Unlegended Shares”); and (z) cause the transmission of the certificates representing the Unlegended Shares together with a legended certificate representing the balance of the submitted Common Stock certificate, if any, to the Subscriber at the address specified in the notice of sale, via express courier, by electronic transfer or otherwise.







(b)           DWAC.   In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of Subscribers, so long as the certificates therefor do not bear a legend and the Subscriber is not obligated to return such certificate for the placement of a legend thereon, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Unlegended Shares by crediting the account of Subscriber’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system, if such transfer agent participates in such DWAC system.  Such delivery must be made on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.







(c)           Late Delivery of Unlegended Shares.   The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.7 hereof later than the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date could result in economic loss to a Subscriber.  As compensation to a Subscriber for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payment fees (as liquidated damages and not as a penalty) to the Subscriber for late delivery of Unlegended Shares in the amount of $100 per business day after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date for each $10,000 of purchase price of the Unlegended Shares subject to the delivery default.  If during any 360 day period, the Company fails to deliver Unlegended Shares as required by this Section 11.7 for an aggregate of thirty days, then each Subscriber or assignee holding Securities subject to such default may, at its option, require the Company to redeem all or any portion of the Unlegended Shares subject to such default at a price per share equal to the greater of (i) 120% of the Purchase Price paid by the Subscriber for the Unlegended Shares that were not timely delivered, or (ii) a fraction in which the numerator is the highest closing price of the Common Stock during the aforedescribed thirty day period and the denominator of which is the lowest conversion price or exercise price, as the case may be, during such thirty day period, multiplied by the price paid by Subscriber for such Common Stock (“Unlegended Redemption Amount”).  The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.









  





27











  






 


(d)           Injunction.  In the event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in Section 11 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.7, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or anyone associated or affiliated with such Subscriber has not complied with Subscriber’s obligations under the Transaction Documents, or for any other reason, unless, an injunction or temporary restraining order from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining delivery of such Unlegended Shares shall have been sought and obtained by the Company and the Company has posted a surety bond for the benefit of such Subscriber in the amount of the greater of (i) 125% of the amount of the aggregate purchase price of the Common Stock which is subject to the injunction or temporary restraining order, (ii) the closing price of the Common Stock on the trading day before the issue date of the injunction multiplied by the number of Unlegended Shares to be subject to the injunction, which bond shall remain in effect until the completion of arbitration/litigation of the dispute and the proceeds of which shall be payable to such Subscriber to the extent Subscriber obtains judgment in Subscriber’s favor.







(e)           Buy-In.   In addition to any other rights available to Subscriber, if the Company fails to deliver to a Subscriber Unlegended Shares as required pursuant to this Agreement and after the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date the Subscriber, or a broker on the Subscriber’s behalf, purchases (in an open market transaction or otherwise) shares of common stock to deliver in satisfaction of a sale by such Subscriber of the shares of Common Stock which the Subscriber was entitled to receive from the Company (a “Buy-In”), then the Company shall promptly pay in cash to the Subscriber (in addition to any remedies available to or elected by the Subscriber) the amount by which (A) the Subscriber’s total purchase price (including brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of common stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate purchase price of the shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares together with interest thereon at a rate of 15% per annum accruing until such amount and any accrued interest thereon is paid in full (which amount shall be paid as liquidated damages and not as a penalty).  For example, if a Subscriber purchases shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price of $11,000 to cover a Buy-In with respect to $10,000 of purchase price of shares of Common Stock delivered to the Company for reissuance as Unlegended Shares, the Company shall be required to pay the Subscriber $1,000. The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.







(f)           144 Default.   At any time commencing six months after the Closing Date, in the event the Subscriber is not permitted to sell any of the Conversion Shares without any restrictive legend or if such sales are permitted but subject to volume limitations or further restrictions on resale as a result of the unavailability to Subscriber of Rule 144(b)(1)(i) under the 1933 Act or any successor rule (a “144 Default”), for any reason including but not limited to failure by the Company to file quarterly, annual or any other filings required to be made by the Company by the required filing dates (provided that any filing made within the time for a valid extension shall be deemed to have been timely filed), or the Company’s failure to make information publicly available which would allow Subscriber’s reliance on Rule 144 in connection with sales of Conversion Shares, except due to a change in current applicable securities laws or because the Subscriber is an Affiliate (as defined under Rule 144) of the Company, then the Company shall pay such Subscriber as liquidated damages and not as a penalty for each thirty days (or such lesser pro-rata amount for any period less than thirty days) an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the outstanding New Note principal and interest and purchase price of issued Conversion Shares subject to such 144 Default.  Liquidated Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.7(f) in connection with Shares for such times as such Shares may be sold by the holder thereof without any legend or volume or other restrictions pursuant to Section 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

12.           (a)           Anti-Dilution Provision.   Other than in connection with (i) the Company’s issuance of securities as full or partial consideration in connection with a bona fide strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (ii) the Company’s issuance of securities in connection with bona fide strategic license agreements and other bona fide partnering arrangements so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, (iii) the Company’s issuance of Common Stock or the issuances or grants of options to purchase Common Stock to employees, directors, and consultants, pursuant to plans described on Schedule 5(d) as such plans are constituted on the Closing Date, (iv) securities upon the exercise or exchange of or conversion of any securities exercisable or exchangeable for or convertible into shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding on the date of this Agreement on the unamended terms disclosed in the Reports and which securities are also described on Schedule 12(a), and (v) as a result of the conversion of New Notes which are issued pursuant to this Agreement on the unamended terms in effect on the Closing Date (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (v) are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time when the New Notes are outstanding, the Company shall agree to or issue (the “Lower Price Issuance”) any Common Stock or securities convertible into or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (or modify any of the foregoing which may be outstanding) to any person or entity at a price per share or conversion or exercise price per share which shall be less than the Conversion Price in effect at such time without the consent of a Majority in Interest of the Subscribers, then the Conversion Price shall automatically be reduced to such other lower price.  Common Stock issued or issuable by the Company for no consideration or for consideration that cannot be determined at the time of issue will be deemed issuable or to have been issued for $0.000001 per share of Common Stock.  For purposes of the adjustments described in this paragraph, the issuance of any security of the Company carrying the right to convert such security into shares of Common Stock or any warrant, right or option to purchase Common Stock shall result in the reduction of the Conversion Price upon the sooner of the agreement or public announcement or actual issuance of such convertible security, warrant, right or options and again at any time upon any subsequent issuances of shares of Common Stock upon exercise of such conversion or purchase rights if such issuance is at a price lower than the Conversion Price in effect upon such issuance.  The rights of Subscribers set forth in this Section 12(a) are in addition to any other rights the Subscribers have pursuant to this Agreement, the New Notes, any other Transaction Document, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscribers and Company are parties.







(b)           Right of First Refusal.  Until twenty-four (24) months following the Closing Date, the Subscribers shall be given not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the Company of its Common Stock, option, warrants, rights to acquire Common Stock, or other securities or equity linked debt obligations (“Subsequent Offering”), except in connection with the Excepted Issuances.  If Subscribers elect to exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 12(b), the Subscribers shall have the right during the fifteen (15) days following receipt of the notice, to purchase in the aggregate up to all of such offered common stock, debt or other securities in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale, relative to each other in proportion to the amount of New Note Principal issued to them.   Subscribers who participate in such Subsequent Offering shall be entitled at their option to purchase, in proportion to each other, the amount of such Subsequent Offering that could have been purchased by Subscribers who do not exercise their rights until up to the entire Subsequent Offering is purchased by Subscribers.  In the event such terms and conditions are modified during the notice period, Subscribers shall be given prompt notice of such modification and shall have the right during the fifteen (15) days following the notice of modification to exercise such right.







(c)           Maximum Exercise of Rights.  In the event the exercise of the rights described in Section 12(a) and Section 12(b) would or could result in the issuance of an amount of Common Stock of the Company that would exceed the maximum amount that may be issued to a Subscriber calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement, then the issuance of such additional shares of Common Stock of the Company to such Subscriber will be deferred in whole or in part until such time as such Subscriber is able to beneficially own such Common Stock without exceeding the applicable maximum amount set forth calculated in the manner described in Section 7.3 of this Agreement and such Subscriber notifies the Company accordingly.  The aforedescribed deferral notwithstanding, the payment for securities in a Subsequent Offering must be made in accordance with the terms and conditions of the Subsequent Offering.

(d)           Law Governing this Agreement.  This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to principles of conflicts of laws. Any action brought by either party against the other concerning the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall be brought only in the state courts of New York or in the federal courts located in the state and county of New York.

(e)           Specific Enforcement, Consent to Jurisdiction.  The Company and Subscribers acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached.  It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction or injunctions to prevent or cure breaches of the provisions of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, this being in addition to any other remedy to which any of them may be entitled by law or equity.  Subject to Section 14(d) hereof, the Company and each Subscriber hereby irrevocably waives, and agrees not to assert in any such suit, action or proceeding, any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction in New York of such court, that the suit, action or proceeding is brought in an inconvenient forum or that the venue of the suit, action or proceeding is improper.  Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.







(f)           Damages.   In the event the Subscriber is entitled to receive any liquidated or other damages pursuant to the Transactions Documents, the Subscriber may elect to receive the greater of actual damages or such liquidated damages.  In the event the Subscriber is granted rights under different sections of the Transaction Documents relating to the same subject matter or which may be exercised contemporaneously, or pursuant to which damages or remedies are different, Subscriber is granted the right in Subscriber’s absolute discretion to proceed under such section as Subscriber elects.







(g)           Maximum Payments.   Nothing contained herein or in any document referred to herein or delivered in connection herewith shall be deemed to establish or require the payment of a rate of interest or other charges in excess of the maximum permitted by applicable law.  In the event that the rate of interest or dividends required to be paid or other charges hereunder exceed the maximum permitted by such law, any payments in excess of such maximum shall be credited against amounts owed by the Company to the Subscribers and thus refunded to the Company.  The Company agrees that it may not and actually waives any right to challenge the effectiveness or applicability of this Section 14(g).







(h)           Calendar Days.   All references to “days” in the Transaction Documents shall mean calendar days unless otherwise stated.  The terms “business days” and “trading days” shall mean days that the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading for three or more hours.  Time periods shall be determined as if the relevant action, calculation or time period were occurring in New York City.  Any deadline that falls on a non-business day in any of the Transaction Documents shall be automatically extended to the next business day and interest, if any, shall be calculated and payable through such extended period.







(i)           Captions: Certain Definitions.  The captions of the various sections and paragraphs of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience; such captions are not a part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, enlarge or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement.  As used in this Agreement the term “person” shall mean and include an individual, a partnership, a joint venture, a corporation, a limited liability company, a trust, an unincorporated organization and a government or any department or agency thereof.


 




  





31











  






 


(j)           Consent.   As used in this Agreement and the Transaction Documents and any other agreement delivered in connection herewith, “Consent of the Subscribers” or similar language means the consent of holders of more than fifty percent (50%) of the relevant component of the outstanding Principal Amount of New Notes or Conversion Shares, as the case may be, on the date consent is requested (such Subscribers being a “Majority in Interest”).  A Majority in Interest may consent to take or forebear from any action permitted under or in connection with the Transaction Documents, modify any Transaction Documents or waive any default or requirement applicable to the Company, Subsidiaries or Subscribers under the Transaction Documents provided the effect of such action does not waive any accrued interest or accrued damages and further provided that the relative rights of the Subscribers to each other remains unchanged.







(k)           Severability.  In the event that any term or provision of this Agreement shall be finally determined to be superseded, invalid, illegal or otherwise unenforceable pursuant to applicable law by an authority having jurisdiction and venue, that determination shall not impair or otherwise affect the validity, legality or enforceability: (i) by or before that authority of the remaining terms and provisions of this Agreement, which shall be enforced as if the unenforceable term or provision were deleted, or (ii) by or before any other authority of any of the terms and provisions of this Agreement.







(l)           Successor Laws.  References in the Transaction Documents to laws, rules, regulations and forms shall also include successors to and functionally equivalent replacements of such laws, rules, regulations and forms.  A successor rule to Rule 144(b)(1)(i) shall include any rule that would be available to a non-Affiliate of the Company for the sale of Common Stock not subject to volume restrictions and after a six month holding period.







(m)           Independent Nature of Subscribers.     The Company acknowledges that the obligations of each Subscriber under the Transaction Documents are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Subscriber under the Transaction Documents. The Company acknowledges that each Subscriber has represented that the decision of each Subscriber to purchase Securities has been made by such Subscriber independently of any other Subscriber and independently of any information, materials, statements or opinions as to the business, affairs, operations, assets, properties, liabilities, results of operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company which may have been made or given by any other Subscriber or by any agent or employee of any other Subscriber, and no Subscriber or any of its agents or employees shall have any liability to any other Subscriber (or any other person) relating to or arising from any such information, materials, statements or opinions.  The Company acknowledges that nothing contained in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Subscriber pursuant hereto or thereto shall be deemed to constitute the Subscribers as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Subscribers 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 it has elected to provide all Subscribers with the same terms and Transaction Documents for the convenience of the Company and not because Company was required or requested to do so by the Subscribers.  The Company acknowledges that such procedure with respect to the Transaction Documents in no way creates a presumption that the Subscribers are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to the Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated thereby.







(n)           Equal Treatment.   No consideration shall be offered or paid to any person to amend or consent to a waiver or modification of any provision of the Transaction Documents unless the same consideration is also offered and paid to all the Subscribers and their permitted successors and assigns.
