The Company is duly qualified as a foreign corporation to do business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction where the nature of the business conducted or property owned by it makes such qualification necessary, other than those jurisdictions in which the failure to so qualify would not have a Material Adverse Effect (as defined herein).  For purposes of this Agreement, a “Material Adverse Effect” shall mean a material adverse effect on the financial condition, results of operations, prospects, properties or business of the Company when taken as a whole, other than an effect primarily or proximately resulting from (A) changes in general economic or market conditions affecting the industry generally in which such entity and its Subsidiaries operate, which changes do not disproportionately affect such entity taken as a whole with its Subsidiaries as compare to other similarly situated participants in the industry in which such entity and its Subsidiaries operate; (B) changes in applicable law or generally accepted accounting principles; and (C) acts of terrorism, war or natural disasters which do not disproportionately affect such entity taken as a whole.  For purposes of this Agreement, “Subsidiary” means, with respect to any entity at any date, any direct or indirect corporation, limited or general partnership, limited liability company, trust, estate, association, joint venture or other business entity of which (A) more than 30% of (i) the outstanding capital stock having (in the absence of contingencies) ordinary voting power to elect a majority of the board of directors or other managing body of such entity, (ii) in the case of a partnership or limited liability company, the interest in the capital or profits of such partnership or limited liability company or (iii) in the case of a trust, estate, association, joint venture or other entity, the beneficial interest in such trust, estate, association or other entity business is, at the time of determination, owned or controlled directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, by such entity, or (B) is under the actual control of the Company.  As of the Closing Date, the Company has no Subsidiaries.  The Company represents that except for the name Suraj Ventures, Inc., the Company has never been known by any other names.

(b)           Outstanding Stock.  All issued and outstanding shares of capital stock and equity interests in the Company have been duly authorized and validly issued and are fully paid and non-assessable.

This Agreement, the Notes, Warrants, Incentive Shares, Security Agreement, the Escrow Agreement, and any other agreements delivered or required to be delivered together with or pursuant to this Agreement or in connection herewith (collectively “Transaction Documents”) have been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and are valid and binding agreements of the Company, enforceable in accordance with their terms, subject to bankruptcy, insolvency, fraudulent transfer, reorganization, moratorium and similar laws of general applicability relating to or affecting creditors’ rights generally and to general principles of equity.

Except as set forth on Schedule 5(d), there are no options, warrants, or rights to subscribe to, securities, rights, understandings or obligations convertible into or exchangeable for or granting any right to subscribe for any shares of capital stock or other equity interest of the Company.

No consent, approval, authorization or order of any court, governmental agency or body or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates, any Principal Market [as defined in Section 9(b)], or the Company’s stockholders is required for the execution by the Company of the Transaction Documents and compliance and performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents, including, without limitation, the issuance and sale of the Securities.  The Transaction Documents and the Company’s performance of its obligations thereunder has been unanimously approved by the Company’s board of directors in accordance with the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation and applicable law.  Any such qualifications and filings will, in the case of qualifications, be effective upon Closing and will, in the case of filings, be made within the time prescribed by law.

(f)         No Violation or Conflict.  Upon Closing, and assuming the representations and warranties of the Subscriber in Section 4 are true and correct, neither the issuance nor the sale of the Securities nor the performance of the Company’s obligations under the Transaction Documents by the Company, will:

(ii)          result in the creation or imposition of any lien, charge or encumbrance upon the Securities or any of the assets of the Company or any of its Affiliates except in favor of each Subscriber as described herein; or

(iii)         result in the activation of any anti-dilution rights or a reset or repricing of any debt, equity or security instrument of any creditor or equity holder of the Company, or the holder of the right to receive any debt, equity or security instrument of the Company nor result in the acceleration of the due date of any obligation of the Company; or

(iv)         result in the triggering of any rights of first refusal, participation rights, piggy-back or other registration rights of any person or entity holding securities of the Company or having the right to receive securities of the Company or pursuant to any agreement with the Company.

(g)         The Securities.  The Securities upon issuance:

(i)           are, or will be, free and clear of any security interests, liens, claims or other encumbrances, subject only to restrictions upon transfer under the 1933 Act and any applicable state securities laws;

(v)           assuming the representations and warranties of the Subscribers as set forth in Section 4 hereof are true and correct, will not result in a violation of Section 5 under the 1933 Act.

(h)         Litigation.  There is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates that would affect the execution by the Company or the complete and timely performance by the Company of its obligations under the Transaction Documents.  Except as disclosed in the Reports, there is no pending or, to the best knowledge of the Company, basis for or threatened action, suit, proceeding or investigation before any court, governmental agency or body, or arbitrator having jurisdiction over the Company, or any of its Affiliates which litigation if adversely determined would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(i)          No Market Manipulation.  The Company and its Affiliates have not taken, and will not take, directly or indirectly, any action designed to, or that might reasonably be expected to, cause or result in stabilization or manipulation of the price of the Common Stock to facilitate the sale or resale of the Securities or affect the price at which the Securities may be issued or resold.

(j)          Information Concerning Company.  The Reports and Other Written Information contain all material information relating to the Company and its operations and financial condition as of their respective dates which information is required to be disclosed therein.   Since May 31, 2011, and except as disclosed in the Reports or modified in Other Written Information or in the Schedules hereto, there has been no Material Adverse Effect relating to the Company. The Reports and Other Written Information including the financial statements included therein do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, taken as a whole, not misleading in light of the circumstances and when made.

  

7

  

(k)           Solvency.  Based on the financial condition of the Company as of the Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Securities hereunder, (i) the Company’s fair saleable value of its assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature; (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business for the current fiscal year as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and projected capital requirements and capital availability thereof; and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its debt when such amounts are required to be paid.  The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).

(l)            Defaults.  The Company is not in violation of its articles of incorporation or bylaws.   The Company is (i) not in default under or in violation of any other material agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its properties are bound or affected, which default or violation would have a Material Adverse Effect, (ii) not in default with respect to any order of any court, arbitrator or governmental body or subject to or party to any order of any court or governmental authority arising out of any action, suit or proceeding under any statute or other law respecting antitrust, monopoly, restraint of trade, unfair competition or similar matters which default would have a Material Adverse Effect, or (iii) not in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(m)           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 of any security of the Company nor solicited any offers to buy any security of the Company under circumstances that would cause the offer of the Securities pursuant to this Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the 1933 Act or any applicable stockholder approval provisions, including, without limitation, under the rules and regulations of the Bulletin Board.  No prior offering will impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.  Neither the Company nor any of its Affiliates will take any action or suffer any inaction or conduct any offering other than the transactions contemplated hereby that may be integrated with the offer or issuance of the Securities or that would impair the exemptions relied upon in this Offering or the Company’s ability to timely comply with its obligations hereunder.

(n)           No General Solicitation.  Neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor to its knowledge, any person acting on its or their behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D under the 1933 Act) in connection with the offer or sale of the Securities.

(o)           No Undisclosed Liabilities.  The Company has no liabilities or obligations which are material, individually or in the aggregate, other than those incurred in the ordinary course of the Company’s business since May 31, 2011, and which, individually or in the aggregate, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect, except as disclosed in the Reports or in Schedule 5(o).

  

8

  

(p)           No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances.  Since May 31, 2011, except as disclosed in the Reports, no event or circumstance has occurred or exists with respect to the Company or its businesses, properties, operations or financial condition, that, under applicable law, rule or regulation, requires public disclosure or announcement prior to the date hereof by the Company but which has not been so publicly announced or disclosed in the Reports.

(q)           Dilution.   The Company’s executive officers and directors understand the nature of the Securities being sold hereby and recognize that the issuance of the Securities will have a potential dilutive effect on the equity holdings of other holders of the Company’s equity or rights to receive equity of the Company.  The board of directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, that the issuance of the Securities is in the best interests of the Company.  The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Incentive Shares, Conversion Shares upon conversion of the Notes and the Warrant Shares upon exercise of the Warrants is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other stockholders of the Company or parties entitled to receive equity of the Company.

(r)           No Disagreements with Accountants and Lawyers.  There are no material disagreements of any kind presently existing, or reasonably anticipated by the Company to arise between the Company and the accountants and lawyers previously and presently employed by the Company, including but not limited to disputes or conflicts over payment owed to such accountants and lawyers, nor have there been any such disagreements during the two years prior to the Closing Date.

(s)           Investment Company.   Neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company is an “investment company” within the meaning of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.

(u)           Reporting Company/Shell Company.  The Company is a publicly-held company subject to reporting obligations pursuant to Section 13 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”).  Pursuant to the provisions of the 1934 Act, the Company has timely filed all reports and other materials required to be filed thereunder with the Commission during the preceding twelve months.  The Company is not a “shell company” nor a “former shell company” as those terms are employed in Rule 144 under the 1933 Act.

(v)           Listing.  The Company’s Common Stock is quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“Bulletin Board”) under the symbol IROG.  The Company has not received any pending oral or written notice that its Common Stock is not eligible nor will become ineligible for quotation on the Bulletin Board nor that its Common Stock does not meet all requirements for the continuation of such quotation.

(x)           The Company and its Board of Directors will have taken as of the Closing Date all necessary action, if any, in order to render inapplicable any control share acquisition, business combination, poison pill (including any distribution under a rights agreement) or other similar anti-takeover provision under the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation (or similar charter documents) or the laws of its jurisdiction of incorporation that are or could become applicable to the Subscribers as a result of the Subscribers and the Company fulfilling their obligations or exercising their rights under the Transaction Documents, including without limitation as a result of the Company’s issuance of the Notes, Incentive Shares, Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares and the Subscribers’ ownership of the Notes, Incentive Shares, Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares.

(y)           Correctness of Representations.  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.

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

6.           Regulation D Offering.  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.  On the Closing Date, the Company will provide an opinion reasonably acceptable to the Subscribers from the Company’s legal counsel opining on the availability of an exemption from registration under the 1933 Act as it relates to the offer and issuance of the Securities and other matters reasonably requested by Subscribers.  A form of the legal opinion is annexed hereto as Exhibit E.  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 Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Notes and exercise of Warrants, Conversion Shares and Warrant 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 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 that Subscriber has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, 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 the Conversion Shares are sold in a manner that 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.

  

10

  

(b)           Each Subscriber will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert its 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.  Subscriber will not be required to surrender the Note until the 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 Note to Subscriber via express courier for receipt by Subscriber within five business days after the Conversion Date (such fifth day being the “Delivery Date”).  In the event the Conversion Shares are electronically transferable, then delivery of the Shares must be made by electronic transfer provided request for such electronic transfer has been made by the Subscriber.   A Note representing the balance of the Note not so converted will be provided by the Company to Subscriber if requested by Subscriber, provided Subscriber delivers the original 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 each $10,000 of 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 request by such Subscriber, a sum of money determined by multiplying up to the outstanding principal amount of the Note designated by each such Subscriber by, at Subscriber’s election, the greater of (i) 115%, 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"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by each Subscriber on the same date as the Conversion Shares otherwise deliverable or within ten (10) days after request, whichever is sooner ("Mandatory Redemption Payment Date"). Upon receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment, the corresponding 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, or (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.  The foregoing notwithstanding, Subscriber may demand and receive from the Company the amount stated above or any other greater amount which Subscriber is entitled to receive or demand pursuant to the Transaction Documents.

  

11

  

7.3.        Maximum Conversion.  A Subscriber shall not be entitled to convert on a Conversion Date that amount of a 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 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 9.99% 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 9.99% and aggregate conversions by the Subscriber may exceed 9.99%.  The Subscriber shall have the authority to determine whether the restriction contained in this Section 7.3 will limit any conversion of a Note and the extent such limitation applies and to which convertible or exercisable instrument or part thereof such limitation applies.  The Subscriber may increase 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 9.99% amount described above and which shall be allocated to the excess above 9.99%.

7.4.        Injunction Posting of Bond.  In the event a Subscriber shall elect to convert a Note or part thereof, or exercise a Warrant, the Company may not refuse conversion or exercise based on any claim that Subscriber or any one 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 Note or exercise of such Warrant 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 Note, or aggregate purchase price of the Conversion Shares, or 120% of the aggregate exercise price of the Warrants 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.

  

12

  

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

8.           Fees.

(a)           Broker’s Commission.   The Company on the one hand, and each Subscriber (for himself only) on the other hand, agrees to indemnify the other against and hold the other harmless from any and all liabilities to any persons claiming brokerage commissions or similar fees on account of services purported to have been rendered on behalf of the indemnifying party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and arising out of such party’s actions.  The Company represents that there are no parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, finder’s fees, due diligence fees or similar payments in connection with the Offering, except as set forth on Schedule 8(a), which the Company agrees to pay upon Closing.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, each Subscriber is providing indemnification only for such Subscriber’s own actions and not for any action of any other Subscriber.  The liability of the Company and each Subscriber’s liability hereunder is several and not joint.  The Company represents that to the best of its knowledge there are no other parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, or similar payments in connection with the Offering.

(b)           Subscriber’s Legal Fees.   The Company shall pay to Grushko & Mittman, P.C., a cash fee of $18,000 (“Legal Fees”) (of which $5,000 has been paid prior to Closing) as reimbursement for services rendered in connection with the transactions described in the Transaction Documents. The Legal Fees will be payable out of funds held pursuant to the Escrow Agreement.  Grushko & Mittman, P.C. will be reimbursed at Closing by the Company for all lien searches, filing fees, and reasonable printing and shipping costs for the closing statements to be delivered to Subscribers.

9.           Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants and agrees with the Subscribers as follows:

(a)           Stop Orders.  Subject to the prior notice requirement described in Section 9(n), the Company will advise the Subscribers, within twenty-four hours after it receives notice of issuance by the Commission, any state securities commission or any other regulatory authority of any stop order or of any order preventing or suspending any offering of any securities of the Company, or of the suspension of the qualification of the Common Stock of the Company for offering or sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation of any proceeding for any such purpose.  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 provided at least five (5) days prior notice of such instruction is given to the Subscribers.

(b)           Listing/Quotation.  The Company shall promptly secure the quotation or listing of the Conversion Shares, Incentive Shares and Warrant Shares upon each national securities exchange, or automated quotation system upon which the Company’s Common Stock is quoted or listed and upon which such Conversion Shares, Incentive Shares and Warrant Shares are or become eligible for quotation or listing (subject to official notice of issuance) and shall maintain same so long as any Notes and Warrants are outstanding.  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. Subject to the limitation set forth in Section 9(n), the Company will provide Subscribers with copies of all notices it receives notifying the Company of the threatened and actual delisting of the Common Stock from any Principal Market.  As of the date of this Agreement and the Closing Date, the Bulletin Board is the Principal Market.

(c)           Market Regulations.  If required, the Company shall notify the Commission, the Principal Market and applicable state authorities, in accordance with their requirements, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and shall take all other necessary action and proceedings as may be required and permitted by applicable law, rule and regulation, for the legal and valid issuance of the Securities to the Subscribers and promptly provide copies thereof to the Subscribers.

(d)           Filing Requirements.  From the date of this Agreement and until the last to occur of (i) all the Conversion Shares and Incentive Shares are eligible to be transferred or sold by the Subscribers pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i); (ii) none of the Notes are outstanding, or (iii) twelve (12) months from the last conversion of a Note (the date of such latest occurrence being the “End Date”), the Company will (A) comply in all respects with its reporting and filing obligations under the 1934 Act, (B) voluntarily comply with all reporting requirements that are applicable to an issuer with a class of shares registered pursuant to Section 12(g) of the 1934 Act even if the Company is not subject to such reporting requirements sufficient to permit Subscriber to be able to resell the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares pursuant to Rule 144(b)(i), and (C) comply with all requirements related to any registration statement filed pursuant to this Agreement.  The Company will use its commercially reasonable best 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 and to provide a copy thereof to each Subscriber promptly after such filing.

(e)           Use of Proceeds.   The proceeds of the Offering will be substantially employed by the Company for the purposes set forth on Schedule 9(e) hereto.  Except as described on Schedule 9(e), the Purchase Price may not and will not be used for accrued and unpaid officer and director salaries, nor payment of financing related debt nor redemption of outstanding notes or equity instruments of the Company nor non-trade payables outstanding on the Closing Date.

  

14

  

(f)           Reservation.   Prior to the Closing, the Company undertakes to reserve on behalf of Subscribers from its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 150% of the amount of Common Stock necessary to allow Subscribers to be able to convert all of the Notes (including interest that would accrue thereon through the Maturity Date (as defined in the Notes)) and 100% of the amount of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (“Required Reservation”).   Failure to have sufficient shares reserved pursuant to this Section 9(f) at any time shall be a material default of the Company’s obligations under this Agreement and an Event of Default under the Notes.  Without waiving the foregoing requirement, if at any time Notes and Warrants are outstanding the Company has reserved on behalf of the Subscribers less than 125% of the amount necessary for full conversion of the outstanding Note principal and interest at the conversion price in effect on every such date and 100% of the Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of outstanding Warrants (“Minimum Required Reservation”), the Company will promptly reserve the Minimum Required Reservation, or if there are insufficient authorized and available shares of Common Stock to do so, the Company will take all action necessary to increase its authorized capital to be able to fully satisfy its reservation requirements hereunder, including the filing of a preliminary proxy with the Commission not later than fifteen (15) days after the first day the Company has reserved less than the Minimum Required Reservation.  The Company agrees to provide notice to the Subscribers not later than five days after the date the Company has less than the Minimum Required Reservation reserved on behalf of the Subscribers.

(g)           DTC Program.  From and after the Closing Date and thereafter at all times that Notes or Warrants are outstanding, the Company will employ as the transfer agent for the Common Stock, Conversion Shares, Incentive Shares and Warrant Shares a participant in the Depository Trust Company Automated Securities Transfer Program and use its best efforts to cause the Common Stock to be transferable pursuant to such program.

(h)           Taxes.   From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will promptly pay and discharge, or cause to be paid and discharged, when due and payable, all lawful taxes, assessments and governmental charges or levies imposed upon the income, profits, property or business of the Company; provided, however, that any such tax, assessment, charge or levy need not be paid if the validity thereof shall currently be contested in good faith by appropriate proceedings and if the Company shall have set aside on its books adequate reserves with respect thereto, and provided, further, that the Company will pay all such taxes, assessments, charges or levies forthwith upon the commencement of proceedings to foreclose any lien which may have attached as security therefore.

(i)            Insurance.  As reasonably necessary as determined by the Company, from the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will keep its assets which are of an insurable character insured by financially sound and reputable insurers against loss or damage by fire, explosion and other risks customarily insured against by companies in the Company’s line of business and location, in amounts and to the extent and in the manner customary for companies in similar businesses similarly situated and located and to the extent available on commercially reasonable terms.

(j)            Books and Records.  From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will keep true records and books of account in which full, true and correct entries will be made of all dealings or transactions in relation to its business and affairs in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis.

(k)           Governmental Authorities.   From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company shall duly observe and conform in all material respects to all valid requirements of governmental authorities relating to the conduct of its business or to its properties or assets except where failure to do so would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to keep its properties in good repair, working order and condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and from time to time make all necessary and proper repairs, renewals, replacements, additions and improvements thereto; and the Company will at all times comply with each provision of all leases and claims to which it is a party or under which it occupies or has rights to property if the breach of such provision could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.  The Company will not abandon any of its assets except for those assets which have negligible or marginal value or for which it is reasonably prudent to do so under the circumstances.

(n)           Confidentiality/Public Announcement.   From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company agrees that except in connection with a Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, Form 10-K and the registration statement or statements regarding the Subscribers’ Securities or in correspondence with the Commission regarding same, it will not disclose in writing publicly or privately the identity of the Subscribers unless expressly agreed to in writing by Subscribers or only to the extent required by law and then only upon not less than two (2) days prior notice to Subscribers.  Not later than four (4) business days after the Closing Date, the Company will file on Form 8-K describing the Offering as required by the 1934 Act.  The Form 8-K will 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 a Note, Conversion Shares, Incentive Shares or Warrants 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 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, except as required to be delivered in connection with this Agreement, the Company shall so indicate to Subscribers prior to delivery of such notice or information.  Subscribers will be granted five days to notify the Company that Subscriber elects not to receive such information.   In the case that Subscriber elects not to receive such information, the Company will not deliver such information to Subscribers.  In the absence of any such Company 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.

(p)           Negative Covenants.   So long as a Note is outstanding, without the consent of a Majority in Interest [as defined in Section 14(j)], the Company will not and will not permit any of its Subsidiaries to directly or indirectly:

(ii)          amend its certificate of incorporation, bylaws or its charter documents so as to materially and adversely affect any rights of the Subscribers;

Subject to the consent of a Majority in Interest, for so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company will not enter into or exercise any Equity Line of Credit or similar agreement, nor issue nor agree to issue any floating or Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments nor any of the foregoing or equity with price reset rights (collectively, the “Variable Rate Restrictions”).   For purposes hereof, “Equity Line of Credit” shall include any transaction involving a written agreement between the Company and an investor or underwriter whereby the Company has the right to “put” its securities to the investor or underwriter over an agreed period of time and at an agreed price or price formula, and “Variable Priced Equity Linked Instruments” shall include: (A) any debt or equity securities which are convertible into, exercisable or exchangeable for, or carry the right to receive additional shares of Common Stock either (1) at any conversion, exercise or exchange rate or other price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security, or (2) with a fixed conversion, exercise or exchange price that is subject to being reset at some future date at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security due to a change in the market price of the Company’s Common Stock since date of initial issuance, and (B) any amortizing convertible security which amortizes prior to its maturity date, where the Company is required or has the option to (or any investor in such transaction has the option to require the Company to) make such amortization payments in shares of Common Stock which are valued at a price that is based upon and/or varies with the trading prices of or quotations for Common Stock at any time after the initial issuance of such debt or equity security (whether or not such payments in stock are subject to certain equity conditions).

(r)           Required Offering.  Not later than five (5) months after the Closing Date, the Company undertakes to raise not less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of net cash proceeds from the sale of equity or debt as described below (“Required Offering”).  If the Required Offering relates to the sale of equity the net sales price per share of Common stock shall be not less than the Conversion Price then in effect and the amount of common stock purchase warrants, if any, shall be issued at an exercise price not less than the exercise price of the Warrants and in the same proportion as issued to the Subscribers in the Offering.  If the Required Offering relates to the sale of promissory notes, the purchasers of such promissory notes will be subject to the reasonable approval of the Subscribers, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, and the terms of such offering will be substantially similar as the terms of the Offering except that the purchasers will not be granted a security interest nor the rights set forth in Sections 9(p), 9(q) and Section 12(b) of this Agreement except with the approval of the Subscribers.  Except with the approval of the Subscribers, no terms of the Required Offering may be more favorable to the purchasers of the offered debt or equity than any corresponding term or the terms taken as a whole, of the Offering.

(s)           Seniority.   Except for Permitted Liens, until the Notes are fully satisfied or converted, without written consent of a Majority in Interest, the Company and Subsidiaries shall not grant nor allow any security interest to be taken in any assets of the Company or any Subsidiary or any Subsidiary’s assets; nor issue or amend any debt, equity or other instrument which would give the holder thereof directly or indirectly, a right in any equity or assets of the Company or any Subsidiary or any right to payment equal to or superior to any right of the Subscribers as holders of the Notes in or to such equity, assets or payment, nor issue or incur any debt not in the ordinary course of business.

(t)           Notices.   For so long as the Subscribers hold any Notes or Warrants, the Company will maintain a United States address and United States fax number for notice purposes under the Transaction Documents.

(u)           Transactions with Insiders.  So long as the 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.  “Affiliate” for purposes of this Section 9(t) means, with respect to any person or entity, another person or entity that, directly or indirectly, (i) has a ten percent (10%) or more equity interest in that person or entity, (ii) has ten percent (10%) or more common ownership with that person or entity, (iii) controls that person or entity, or (iv) shares common control with that person or entity.  “Control” or “Controls” for purposes of the Transaction Documents means that a person or entity has the power, direct or indirect, to conduct or govern the policies of another person or entity.  For purposes hereof, “Insiders” shall mean any officer, director or manager of the Company, including but not limited to the Company’s president, chief executive officer, chief financial officer and chief operations officer, and any of their affiliates or family members.

  

18

  

(v)           Stock Splits.  For so long as the Notes are outstanding, the Company undertakes and covenants that without the consent of a Majority in Interest, the Company will not effectuate any stock splits of the Common Stock.  In the event the closing price of the Common Stock on a Principal Market on any trading day during the 120th through the 150th day after the Closing Date (“Calculation Period”) as reported by Bloomberg L.P. is less than $0.10, the Company agrees that upon instructions from a Majority In Interest at any time Notes are outstanding, the Company will effectuate a reverse split of the Common Stock within forty-five (45) days after such instructions are given.  The Majority In Interest will designate the ratio of such reverse split, which will be one (1) share for each x shares outstanding, with x being not more than .40 divided by the lowest closing price during the Calculation Period.

(w)          Notice of Event of Default.  The Company agrees to notify Subscriber of the occurrence of an Event of Default (as defined and employed in the Transaction Documents) not later than five (5) business days after any of the Company’s officers or directors becomes aware of such Event of Default.

(x)           Further Registration Statements.   The Company will not, without the consent of a Majority in Interest, file with the Commission or with state regulatory authorities any registration statements, shares reserved for outside securities counsel, or amend any already filed registration statement to increase the amount of Common Stock registered therein, or reduce the price of which such company securities are registered therein, until the expiration of the “Exclusion Period,” which shall be defined as the sooner of (i) the date all of the Registrable Securities (as defined in Section 11.1) have been registered in an effective registration statement that has been effective for not less than six months, or (ii) until all the Conversion Shares, Incentive Shares and Warrant Shares may be resold by the Subscribers pursuant to a registration statement or Rule 144b(1)(i), without regard to volume limitations.  The Exclusion Period will be tolled or reinstated, as the case may be, during the pendency of an Event of Default as defined in the Note.

(y)           Lockup Agreement.   The Company will deliver to the Subscribers on or before the Closing Date and enforce the provisions of irrevocable lockup agreements (“Lockup Agreement”) in the form annexed hereto as Exhibit F, with the persons identified on Schedule 9(y) with respect to the Common Stock and rights to acquire Common Stock set forth on Schedule 9(y).

10.         Covenants of the Company Regarding Indemnification.

(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 Registrable Securities (as defined herein).

  

19

  

11.         Additional Post-Closing Obligations.

11.1.      Piggy-Back Registrations.   If at any time after the Closing Date there is not an effective registration statement covering all of the Conversion Shares, Warrant Shares and Incentive Shares and the Company determines to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the 1933 Act of any of its equity securities, but excluding Forms S-4 or S-8 and similar forms which do not permit such registration, then the Company shall send to each holder of any of the Securities written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen calendar days after receipt of such notice, any such holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of the Conversion Shares, Incentive Shares and Warrant Shares such holder requests to be registered, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and any cutbacks in  accordance with guidance provided by the Securities and Exchange Commission (including, but not limited to, Rule 415).  The obligations of the Company under this Section may be waived by any holder of any of the Securities entitled to registration rights under this Section 11.1. The holders whose Conversion Shares, Incentive Shares and Warrant Shares are included or required to be included in such registration statement are granted the same rights, benefits, liquidated or other damages and indemnification granted to other holders of securities included in such registration statement.  In no event shall the liability of any holder of Securities or permitted successor in connection with any Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares included in any such registration statement be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the net proceeds actually received by such Subscriber upon the sale of the Conversion Shares, Incentive Shares and Warrant Shares sold pursuant to such registration or such lesser amount in proportion to all other holders of Securities included in such registration statement. 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 the NASD, 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 the registration statement under Section 11.  Selling Expenses in connection with each registration statement under Section 11 shall be borne by the holder and will be apportioned among such holders in proportion to the number of Shares included therein for a holder relative to all the Securities included therein for all selling holders, or as all holders may agree.

11.2.      Unlegended Shares and 144 Sales.

(a)           Delivery of Unlegended Shares.  Within three (3) business days (such third (3rd) day being the “Unlegended Shares Delivery Date”) after the day on which the Company has received (i) a notice that Conversion Shares, Warrant 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 on or before the Unlegended Shares Delivery Date.

  

20

  

(b)           DWAC.   In lieu of delivering physical certificates representing the Unlegended Shares, upon request of a Subscriber, 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 11.2 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 11.2 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) 115% 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.

(d)           Injunction.  In the event a Subscriber shall request delivery of Unlegended Shares as described in Section 11.2 and the Company is required to deliver such Unlegended Shares pursuant to Section 11.2, the Company may not refuse to deliver Unlegended Shares based on any claim that such Subscriber or any one 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, plus interest. The Subscriber shall provide the Company written notice indicating the amounts payable to the Subscriber in respect of the Buy-In.

  

21

  

 

(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 or Warrant 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 or Warrant 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 purchase price of the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares subject to such 144 Default.  Liquidated Damages shall not be payable pursuant to this Section 11.2(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)           Favored Nations Provision.  Other than in connection with (i) 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), (v) the Required Offering, and (vi) as a result of the exercise of Warrants or conversion of Notes which are granted or issued pursuant to this Agreement on the unamended terms in effect on the Closing Date, (collectively, the foregoing (i) through (vi) are “Excepted Issuances”), if at any time the Notes or Warrants 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, or if less than the Warrant exercise price in effect at such time, without the consent of the Subscribers, then the Conversion Price and Warrant exercise price shall automatically be reduced to such other lower price.  The average Conversion Price of the Conversion Shares and average exercise price in relation to the Warrant Shares shall be calculated separately for the Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares.    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 $0.0001 per share of Common Stock.  For purposes of the issuance and 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 issuance of the additional shares of Common Stock upon the sooner of the agreement to 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 or Warrant exercise 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 Notes, Warrants, any other Transaction Document, and any other agreement referred to or entered into in connection herewith or to which Subscribers and Company are parties.

  

22

  

(b)           Right of First Offer.  Until twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, and excluding the Required Offering set forth in Section 9(r), the Subscribers shall be given not less than ten (10) days prior written notice of any proposed offer by the Company of its common stock or other securities or equity linked debt obligations (“Other Offering”), except in connection with the Excepted Issuances described in Section 12(a)(i) through (iv) and Section 12(a)(vi).  If Subscribers elect to exercise their rights pursuant to this Section 12(b), the Subscribers shall have the right during the ten (10) 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, relative to each other in proportion to the amount of Note Principal issued to them on the Closing Date.  Subscribers who participate in such Other Offering shall be entitled at their option to purchase, in proportion to each other, the amount of such Other Offering that could have been purchased by Subscribers who do not exercise their rights hereunder until up to the entire Other 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 ten (10) 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.

13.         Miscellaneous.

(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.

(n)          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.

(o)           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.

(p)           Adjustments.   The conversion price, Warrant exercise price, amount of Conversion Shares and Warrant Shares, trading volume amounts, price/volume amounts and similar figures in the Transaction Documents shall be equitably adjusted and as otherwise described in this Agreement, the Notes and Warrants.
