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, or (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, 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, in the form, substance and scope described above, provided by the Buyer with
respect to the transfer of Securities pursuant to an exemption from registration, such as Rule 144 or Regulation S, at the Deadline
(as defined in the Note), it will be considered an Event of Default pursuant to Section 3.2 of the Note.

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.

and conducted. Schedule 3(a) sets forth a list of all of the Subsidiaries of the Company and the jurisdiction in which each is

standing in every jurisdiction in which its ownership or use of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes such
qualification necessary except where the failure to be so qualified or in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect.
“Material Adverse Effect” means any material adverse effect on the business, operations, assets, financial condition
or prospects of the Company or its Subsidiaries, if any, taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the
agreements or instruments to be entered into in connection herewith. “Subsidiaries” means any corporation or other

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.

shares are reserved for issuance upon conversion of the Note. All of such outstanding shares of capital stock are, or upon issuance
will be, duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. No shares of capital stock of the Company are subject
to preemptive rights or any other similar rights of the shareholders of the Company or any liens or encumbrances imposed through

(i) there are no outstanding options, warrants, scrip, rights to subscribe for, puts, calls, rights of first refusal, agreements,

or any of its Subsidiaries is or may become bound to issue additional shares of capital stock of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries,
(ii) there are no agreements or arrangements under which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is obligated to register the sale

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.

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.


 


f.  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). Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries
is in violation of its Certificate of Incorporation, By-laws or other organizational documents and neither the Company nor any
of its Subsidiaries is in default (and no event has occurred which with notice or lapse of time or both could put the Company or
any of its Subsidiaries in default) under, and neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has taken any action or failed to
take any action that would give to others any rights of termination, amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any agreement,
indenture or instrument to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries is a party or by which any property or assets of the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries is bound or affected, except for possible defaults as would not, individually or in the aggregate, have
a Material Adverse Effect. The businesses of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any, are not being conducted, and shall not be
conducted so long as the Buyer owns any of the Securities, in violation of any law, ordinance or regulation of any governmental
entity. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as required under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities
laws, the Company is not required to obtain any consent, authorization or order of, or make any filing or registration with, any
court, governmental agency, regulatory agency, self-regulatory organization or stock market or any third party in order for it
to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, the Note in accordance with the terms hereof or thereof
or to issue and sell the Note in accordance with the terms hereof and to issue the Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Note.
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 Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (the “OTCBB”), the OTCQB or any similar quotation system, and does not reasonably
anticipate that the Common Stock will be delisted by the OTCBB, the OTCQB or any similar quotation system, in the foreseeable future.
The Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.

g.  SEC
Documents; Financial Statements. The Company has timely filed all reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
required to be filed by it with the SEC pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended
(the “1934 Act”) (all of the foregoing filed prior to the date hereof and all exhibits included therein and financial
statements and schedules thereto and documents (other than exhibits to such documents) incorporated by reference therein, being
hereinafter referred to herein as the “SEC Documents”). The Buyer acknowledges that it has been provided full access
to the SEC Documents for its review and its records at the SEC’s website for this purpose as www.sec.gov, including such
exhibits and incorporated documents. As of their respective dates, the SEC Documents complied in all material respects with the
requirements of the 1934 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC promulgated thereunder applicable to the SEC Documents, and
none of the SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted
to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances
under which they were made, not misleading. None of the statements made in any such SEC Documents is, or has been, required to
be amended or updated under applicable law (except for such statements as have been amended or updated in subsequent filings prior
to the date hereof). As of their respective dates, the financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Documents complied
as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the SEC
with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting
principles, consistently applied, during the periods involved and fairly present in all material respects the financial position
of the Company as of the dates thereof and the results of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in
the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). Except as set forth in the financial statements of the
Company included in the SEC Documents, the Company has no liabilities, contingent or otherwise, other than (i) liabilities incurred
in the ordinary course of business subsequent to December 31, 2013, and (ii) obligations under contracts and commitments incurred
in the ordinary course of business and not required under generally accepted accounting principles to be reflected in such financial
statements, which, individually or in the aggregate, are not material to the financial condition or operating results of the Company.
The Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act. For the avoidance of doubt, filing of the documents required
in this Section 3(g) via the SEC’s Electronic Data Gathering, Analysis, and Retrieval system (“EDGAR”) shall
satisfy all delivery requirements of this Section 3(g).


 


h.  Absence
of Certain Changes. Since December 31, 2013, there has been no material adverse change and no material adverse development
in the assets, liabilities, business, properties, operations, financial condition, results of operations, prospects or 1934 Act
reporting status of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.


 


i.  Absence
of Litigation. 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(i) 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.


 


j.  Patents,
Copyrights, etc. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries owns or possesses the requisite licenses or rights to use all patents,
patent applications, patent rights, inventions, know-how, trade secrets, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, service
names, trade names and copyrights (“Intellectual Property”) necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now operated
(and, as presently contemplated to be operated in the future). Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents, there is no claim or action
by any person pertaining to, or proceeding pending, or to the Company’s knowledge threatened, which challenges the right
of the Company or of a Subsidiary with respect to any Intellectual Property necessary to enable it to conduct its business as now
operated (and, as presently contemplated to be operated in the future); to the best of the Company’s knowledge, the Company’s
or its Subsidiaries’ current and intended products, services and processes do not infringe on any Intellectual Property or
other rights held by any person; and the Company is unaware of any facts or circumstances which might give rise to any of the foregoing.
The Company and each of its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value
of their Intellectual Property.


 


k.  No
Materially Adverse Contracts, Etc. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is subject to any charter, corporate or
other legal restriction, or any judgment, decree, order, rule or regulation which in the judgment of the Company’s officers
has or is expected in the future to have a Material Adverse Effect. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is a party
to any contract or agreement which in the judgment of the Company’s officers has or is expected to have a Material Adverse
Effect.


 



    	6



    	 



    




 


l.  Tax
Status. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all federal, state and foreign income and all other tax
returns, reports and declarations required by any jurisdiction to which it is subject (unless and only to the extent that the Company
and each of its Subsidiaries has set aside on its books provisions reasonably adequate for the payment of all unpaid and unreported
taxes) and has paid all taxes and other governmental assessments and charges that are material in amount, shown or determined to
be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those being contested in good faith and has set aside on its books provisions
reasonably adequate for the payment of all taxes for periods subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations
apply. There are no unpaid taxes in any material amount claimed to be due by the taxing authority of any jurisdiction, and the
officers of the Company know of no basis for any such claim. The Company has not executed a waiver with respect to the statute
of limitations relating to the assessment or collection of any foreign, federal, state or local tax. None of the Company’s
tax returns is presently being audited by any taxing authority.


 


m.  Certain
Transactions. Except for arm’s length transactions pursuant to which the Company or any of its Subsidiaries makes payments
in the ordinary course of business upon terms no less favorable than the Company or any of its Subsidiaries could obtain from third
parties and other than the grant of stock options disclosed on Schedule 3(c), none of the officers, directors, or employees of
the Company is presently a party to any transaction with the Company or any of its Subsidiaries (other than for services as employees,
officers and directors), including any contract, agreement or other arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or
by, providing for rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments to or from any officer, director
or such employee or, to the knowledge of the Company, any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any officer,
director, or any such employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director, trustee or partner.


 


n.  Disclosure.
All information relating to or concerning the Company or any of its Subsidiaries set forth in this Agreement and provided to the
Buyer pursuant to Section 2(d) hereof and otherwise in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby is true and correct
in all material respects and the Company has not omitted to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made
herein or therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. No event or circumstance has occurred
or exists with respect to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries or its or their business, properties, prospects, operations or
financial conditions, which, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement by the Company
but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed (assuming for this purpose that the Company’s reports filed under
the 1934 Act are being incorporated into an effective registration statement filed by the Company under the 1933 Act).


 


o.  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.


 


p.  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. The issuance of the Securities to the Buyer
will not be integrated with any other issuance of the Company’s securities (past, current or future) for purposes of any
shareholder approval provisions applicable to the Company or its securities.


 


q.  No
Brokers. The Company has taken no action which would give rise to any claim by any person for brokerage commissions, transaction
fees or similar payments relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

r.  Permits;
Compliance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries is in possession of all franchises, grants, authorizations, licenses,
permits, easements, variances, exemptions, consents, certificates, approvals and orders necessary to own, lease and operate its
properties and to carry on its business as it is now being conducted (collectively, the “Company Permits”), and there
is no action pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened regarding suspension or cancellation of any of the Company
Permits. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is in conflict with, or in default or violation of, any of the Company
Permits, except for any such conflicts, defaults or violations which, individually or in the aggregate, would not reasonably be
expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Since December 31, 2013, neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has received
any notification with respect to possible conflicts, defaults or violations of applicable laws, except for notices relating to
possible conflicts, defaults or violations, which conflicts, defaults or violations would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

contaminants, or toxic or hazardous substances or wastes (collectively, “Hazardous Materials”) into the environment,
or otherwise relating to the manufacture, processing, distribution, use, treatment, storage, disposal, transport or handling of
Hazardous Materials, as well as all authorizations, codes, decrees, demands or demand letters, injunctions, judgments, licenses,
notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.


 


(ii)  Other
than those that are or were stored, used or disposed of in compliance with applicable law, no Hazardous Materials are contained
on or about any real property currently owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, and no Hazardous Materials
were released on or about any real property previously owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries during the
period the property was owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, except in the normal course of the Company’s
or any of its Subsidiaries’ business.


 


(iii)  There
are no underground storage tanks on or under any real property owned, leased or used by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries
that are not in compliance with applicable law.


 


t.  Title
to Property. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents 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 or 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.


 


u.  Internal
Accounting Controls. Except as disclosed in the SEC Documents the Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain a system of
internal accounting controls sufficient, in the judgment of the Company’s board of directors, to provide reasonable assurance
that (i) transactions are executed in accordance with management’s general or specific authorizations, (ii) transactions
are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles
and to maintain asset accountability, (iii) access to assets is permitted only in accordance with management’s general or
specific authorization and (iv) the recorded accountability for assets is compared with the existing assets at reasonable intervals
and appropriate action is taken with respect to any differences.

v.  Foreign
Corrupt Practices. Neither the Company, nor any of its Subsidiaries, nor any director, officer, agent, employee or other person
acting on behalf of the Company or any Subsidiary has, in the course of his actions for, or on behalf of, the Company, used any
corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity; made
any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds; violated
or is in violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, or made any bribe, rebate, payoff,
influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government official or employee.


 


w.  Solvency.
The Company (after giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) is solvent (i.e., its assets have a
fair market value in excess of the amount required to pay its probable liabilities on its existing debts as they become absolute
and matured) and currently the Company has no information that would lead it to reasonably conclude that the Company would not,
after giving effect to the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, have the ability to, nor does it intend to take any action
that would impair its ability to, pay its debts from time to time incurred in connection therewith as such debts mature. The Company
did not receive a qualified opinion from its auditors with respect to its most recent fiscal year end and, after giving effect
to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, does not anticipate or know of any basis upon which its auditors might issue
a qualified opinion in respect of its current fiscal year. For the avoidance of doubt any disclosure of the Borrower’s ability
to continue as a “going concern” shall not, by itself, be a violation of this Section 3(w).


 


x.  No
Investment Company. The Company is not, and upon the issuance and sale of the Securities as contemplated by this Agreement
will not be an “investment company” required to be registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (an “Investment
Company”). The Company is not controlled by an Investment Company.


 


y.  
Insurance. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility against
such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of the Company believes to be prudent and customary in the businesses in
which the Company and its Subsidiaries are engaged. Neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has any reason to believe that
it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from
similar insurers as may be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material Adverse Effect. Upon written
request the Company will provide to the Buyer true and correct copies of all policies relating to directors’ and officers’
liability coverage, errors and omissions coverage, and commercial general liability coverage.


 


z.  Shell
Status. The Company represents that it is not a “shell” issuer and has never been a “shell” issuer,
or that if it previously has been a “shell” issuer, that at least twelve (12) months have passed since the Company
has reported Form 10 type information indicating that it is no longer a “shell” issuer.


 


   aa.  
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 Section 3.5 of the Note.


 


4.COVENANTS.


 


a.  Best
Efforts. The parties shall use their commercially reasonable best efforts to satisfy timely each of the conditions described
in Section 7 and 8 of this Agreement. 


 



    	9



    	 



    




b.  Reserved.


 


c.  Use
of Proceeds. The Company shall use the proceeds from the sale of the Note for working capital and other general corporate purposes
and shall not, directly or indirectly, use such proceeds for any loan to or investment in any other corporation, partnership, enterprise
or other person (except in connection with its currently existing direct or indirect Subsidiaries).


 


d.  Notice
of Subsequent Transaction. While any amount remains outstanding under the Note, the Company shall, prior to the closing of
any equity financing (including debt with an equity component) (“Future Offerings”), provide written notice to the
Buyer describing the proposed Future Offering, including the terms and conditions thereof. In the event the terms and conditions
of a proposed Future Offering are amended in any respect after delivery of the notice to the Buyer concerning the proposed Future
Offering, the Company shall deliver a new notice to the Buyer describing the amended terms and conditions of the proposed Future
Offering. The foregoing sentence shall apply to successive amendments to the terms and conditions of any proposed Future Offering.



 


e.  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, including, but not limited to, any and all wire fees,
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’s obligation with respect to this transaction
is to reimburse Buyer’s expenses shall be $2,750 plus the cost of wire fees.


 


f.  Financial
Information. The Company agrees to send or make available the following reports to the Buyer until the Buyer transfers, assigns,
or sells all of the Securities: (i) within ten (10) days after the filing with the SEC, a copy of its Annual Report on Form 10-K
its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and any Current Reports on Form 8-K; (ii) within one (1) day after release, copies of all press
releases issued by the Company or any of its Subsidiaries; and (iii) contemporaneously with the making available or giving to the
shareholders of the Company, copies of any notices or other information the Company makes available or gives to such shareholders.
For the avoidance of doubt, filing the documents required in (i) above via EDGAR or releasing any documents set forth in (ii) above
via a recognized wire service shall satisfy the delivery requirements of this Section 4(f).


 


g.  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 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 OTCBB, OTCQB or any equivalent replacement
exchange, the Nasdaq National Market (“Nasdaq”), the Nasdaq SmallCap Market (“Nasdaq SmallCap”), the New
York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”), or the NYSE MKT 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 material notices it receives from the OTCBB, OTCQB
and any other exchanges or quotation systems on which the Common Stock is then listed regarding the continued eligibility of the
Common Stock for listing on such exchanges and quotation systems.


 


h.  Corporate
Existence. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns any 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 OTCBB, OTCQB, Nasdaq, NasdaqSmallCap, NYSE or AMEX.


 



    	10



    	 



    




 


i.  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.


 


j.  Failure
to Comply with the 1934 Act. So long as the Buyer beneficially owns the Note, the Company shall comply with the reporting
requirements of the 1934 Act; and the Company shall continue to be subject to the reporting requirements of the 1934 Act.


 


k.  Trading
Activities. Neither the Buyer nor its affiliates has an open short position (or other hedging or similar transactions) in
the common stock of the Company and the Buyer agree that it shall not, and that it will cause its affiliates not to, engage in
any short sales of or hedging transactions with respect to the common stock of the Company.


 


l.  Breach
of Covenants. If the Company breaches any of the covenants set forth in this Section 4, and in addition to any other remedies
available to the Buyer pursuant to this Agreement, it will be considered an Event of Default under Section 3.4 of the Note.


 


5.Advance
Fee. Upon Closing, the Company shall pay Two Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 United States Dollars (US$2,500) to Auctus Private
Equity Management, Inc. (“Auctus Management”), as a fee for services rendered in connection herewith (the “Advance
Fee”). The Advance Fee shall be offset against the purchase price of the Note and shall be paid to Auctus Management upon
the execution hereof. The Buyer acknowledges that this is a one-time fee which shall not be imposed in connection with future transactions
between the parties.


 


6.Transfer
Agent Instructions. In the event that the Borrower proposes to replace its transfer agent, and provided the successor transfer
agent policies permit it to honor irrevocable instructions from issuers it represents, the Borrower shall provide, prior to the
effective date of such replacement, fully executed irrevocable instructions to its transfer agent to issue certificates, registered
in the name of the Buyer or its nominee, for the Conversion Shares in such amounts as specified from time to time by the Buyer
to the Company upon conversion of the Note in accordance with the terms thereof (the “Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions”)in
a form agreed upon by the parties signed, by the successor transfer agent to Borrower and the Borrower. Prior to registration of
the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any
restriction as to the number of Securities as of a particular date that can then be immediately sold, all such certificates shall
bear the restrictive legend specified in Section 2(g) of this Agreement. The Company warrants that: (i) no instruction other than
the Irrevocable Transfer Agent Instructions referred to in this Section, and stop transfer instructions to give effect to Section
2(f) hereof (in the case of the Conversion Shares, prior to registration of the Conversion Shares under the 1933 Act or the date
on which the Conversion Shares may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without any restriction as to the number of Securities as of a
particular date that can then be immediately sold), will be given by the Company to its successor transfer agent, if applicable,
and that the Securities shall otherwise be freely transferable on the books and records of the Company as and to the extent provided
in this Agreement and the Note; (ii) it will not direct its transfer agent not to transfer or delay, impair, and/or hinder its
transfer agent in transferring (or issuing) (electronically or in certificated form) any certificate for Conversion Shares to be
issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note and this Agreement; and
(iii) it will not fail to remove (or directs its transfer agent not to remove or impairs, delays, and/or hinders its transfer agent
from removing) any restrictive legend (or to withdraw any stop transfer instructions in respect thereof) on any certificate for
any Conversion Shares issued to the Buyer upon conversion of or otherwise pursuant to the Note as and when required by the Note
and this Agreement. Nothing in this Section shall affect in any way the Buyer’s obligations and agreement set forth in Section
2(g) hereof to comply with all applicable prospectus delivery requirements, if any, upon re-sale of the Securities. If the Buyer
provides the Company, at the cost of the Buyer, with (i) an opinion of counsel in form, substance and scope customary for opinions
in comparable transactions, to the effect that a public sale or transfer of such Securities may be made without registration under
the 1933 Act and such sale or transfer is effected or (ii) the Buyer provides reasonable assurances that the Securities can be
sold pursuant to Rule 144, the Company shall permit the transfer, and, in the case of the Conversion Shares, promptly instruct
its transfer agent to issue one or more certificates, free from restrictive legend, in such name and in such denominations as specified
by the Buyer. 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 transactions contemplated hereby. Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that the remedy
at law for a breach of its obligations under this Section may be inadequate and agrees, in the event of a breach or threatened
breach by the Company of the provisions of this Section, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies,
to an injunction restraining any breach and requiring immediate transfer, without the necessity of showing economic loss and without
any bond or other security being required.

the Company of the provisions of this Agreement, regardless of whether the breach has, in fact, caused irreparable harm to the
Buyer, that the Buyer shall be entitled, in addition to all other available remedies at law or in equity, and in addition to the
