      such time and place as is mutually agreed upon between the parties, but in
      any event no later than five (5) business days after the Effective Date of

      by Geron:

					2.2.1		the covenants and obligations that Lonza is
      required to perform or to comply with pursuant to this Agreement, at or prior to the Closing, must
      have been duly performed and complied with in all material respects;
      and

	 		 		2.3.3	      
    	the representations and
      warranties made by Geron herein shall be true and correct in all material
      respects as of the Closing Date.
	 
	3.	      
    	RESTRICTIONS ON RESALE OF
      SHARES.
	 
	 		3.1	      
    	Legends. Lonza understands and acknowledges that the Shares are
      not registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”), and that
      under the Act and other applicable laws Lonza may be required to hold such
      Shares for an indefinite period of time. Each stock certificate
      representing Shares shall bear the following legend:
	 
	 		 		“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED
      HEREBY HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS
      AMENDED (THE “ACT”). ANY TRANSFER OF SUCH SECURITIES SHALL BE INVALID
      UNLESS A REGISTRATION STATEMENT UNDER THE ACT IS IN EFFECT AS TO SUCH
      TRANSFER OR, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO GERON,
      SUCH REGISTRATION IS UNNECESSARY FOR SUCH TRANSFER TO COMPLY WITH THE ACT.
      THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED HEREBY ARE SUBJECT TO THE TERMS OF THE COMMON
      STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT BY AND BETWEEN GERON AND LONZA, DATED JULY 6,
      2009. A COPY OF THE AGREEMENT CAN BE OBTAINED FROM THE SECRETARY OF
      GERON.”
	 
	 		3.2		Limits on Sales.
      Lonza agrees that if it decides to
      resell some or all of the Shares, it will do so only in an appropriate
      manner through orderly sales executed through a top-tier brokerage firm,
      and based upon whether the shares are registered or unregistered, i.e., on
      the Nasdaq Global Market or in a Rule 144A or Rule 144 compliant
      transaction.
	 
	 		3.3		Further Limitations.
      Geron shall not be required (i) to
      transfer on its books any Shares that have been sold or otherwise
      transferred in violation of any of the provisions of this Agreement or
      applicable securities laws; or (ii) to treat as owner of such Shares or to
      accord the right to vote or pay dividends to any purchaser or other
      transferee to whom such Shares shall have been so transferred in violation
      of any of the provisions of this Agreement or applicable securities
      laws.
	 
	4.		REGISTRATION
    RIGHTS.
	 
	 		4.1		Geron agrees to make commercially
      reasonable efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission
      (the “Commission”) within ten (10) business days after the Closing Date,
      a registration statement under the Act (the “Registration Statement”), on
      Form S-3 or other appropriate form, so as to permit a non-underwritten
      public offering and resale of the Shares under the Act by Lonza. Geron
      agrees to diligently pursue making the Registration Statement effective.
      Geron will make commercially reasonable efforts to notify Lonza of the
      effectiveness of the Registration Statement within one (1) business day of
      receiving notice from the Commission declaring the Registration Statement
      effective, but no later than the close of business (Pacific Time) of the
      second business day after receipt of such notice from the
      Commission.

2 

	          	4.2	       	Geron shall
      notify Lonza as promptly as possible of any review initiated by the
      Commission with respect to any such Registration Statement.
		 
		4.3		Geron will
      maintain the Registration Statement and any post-effective amendment
      thereto filed under this Section 4 effective under the Act until the
      earliest of (i) the date that none of the Shares covered by such
      Registration Statement are issued and outstanding, (ii) the date that all
      of the Shares have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement,
      (iii) the date Lonza receives an opinion of counsel to Geron, which
      counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to Lonza, that the Shares may be
      sold under the provisions of Rule 144 or any similar provision then in
      effect under the Act, or (iv) the date that all Shares have been otherwise
      transferred to persons who may trade such shares without restriction under
      the Act, and Geron has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of
      ownership for such securities not bearing a restrictive
  legend.
		 
		4.4		Geron, at
      its expense, shall furnish to Lonza with respect to the Shares registered
      under the Registration Statement such reasonable number of copies of the
      Registration Statement, prospectuses and preliminary prospectuses in
      conformity with the requirements of the Act and such other documents as
      Lonza may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or
      other disposition of all or any of the Shares by Lonza, provided, however,
      that the obligation of Geron to deliver copies of prospectuses or
      preliminary prospectuses to Lonza shall be subject to the receipt by Geron
      of reasonable assurances from Lonza that Lonza will comply with the
      applicable provisions of the Act and of such other securities or Blue Sky
      laws as may be applicable in connection with any use of such prospectuses
      or preliminary prospectuses.
		 
		4.5		All fees,
      disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by Geron in
      connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement
      under Section 4.1 and in complying with applicable securities and Blue Sky
      laws (including, without limitation, all attorneys'
      fees of Geron) shall be borne by Geron. Lonza shall bear the cost of all
      fees and expenses of Lonza’s counsel.
		 
		4.6		Geron will
      advise Lonza promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of
      the issuance of any stop order by the Commission delaying or suspending
      the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or of the initiation of
      any proceeding for that purpose, and Geron will use its commercially
      reasonable efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain
      its withdrawal as promptly as possible if such stop order should be
      issued.
		 
		4.7		With a view
      to making available to Lonza the benefits of Rule 144 (or its successor
      rule) and any other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at the
      time permit Lonza to sell the Shares to the public without registration,
      Geron covenants and agrees to: (i) make and keep public information
      available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, until
      the earliest of (A) such date as all of the Shares may be resold pursuant
      to Rule 144 or any other rule of similar effect or (B) such date as all of
      the Shares shall have been resold; and (ii) file with
      the Commission in a timely manner all reports and other documents required
      of Geron under the Act and under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
      amended (the “Exchange
      Act”).
		 		      		 
		4.8		Lonza will
      cooperate with Geron in all respects in connection with this Agreement,
      including timely supplying all information reasonably requested by Geron
      (which shall include all information regarding Lonza and proposed manner
      of sale of the Shares required to be disclosed in any Registration
      Statement) and executing and returning all documents reasonably requested
      in connection with the registration and sale of the Shares and entering
      into and performing their obligations under any underwriting agreement, if
      the offering is an underwritten offering, in usual and customary form,
      with the managing underwriter or underwriters of such underwritten
      offering. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate Lonza to consent to be
      named as an underwriter in any Registration
Statement.

3 

	5.	      	INDEMNIFICATION.
	 
	 		5.1	      	Geron agrees to indemnify and
      hold harmless Lonza (and each person, if any, who controls Lonza within
      the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, and each officer and director of
      Lonza) against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or
      actions or proceedings in respect thereof), joint or several, directly or
      indirectly based upon or arising out of (i) any untrue statement or
      alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in the
      Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or
      summary prospectus contained therein or used in connection with the
      offering of the Shares, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or (ii)
      any omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be
      stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading;
      and Geron will reimburse each such indemnified party for any legal or any
      other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with
      investigating, preparing, pursuing or defending any such loss, claim,
      damage, liability, action or proceeding, except insofar as any such loss,
      claim, damage, liability, action, proceeding or expense arises out of or
      is based upon (A) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or
      omission or alleged omission made in the Registration Statement, any such
      preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, summary prospectus, amendment or
      supplement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information
      furnished to Geron by or on behalf of Lonza expressly for use in the
      preparation thereof, (B) the failure of Lonza to comply with its covenants
      and agreements contained in Sections 7.1 or 7.5.2 hereof or (C) any
      misstatement or omission in any prospectus that is corrected in any
      subsequent prospectus that was delivered to Lonza prior to the pertinent
      sale or sales by Lonza. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and
      effect, regardless of any investigation made by such indemnified party and
      shall survive the transfer of the Shares by Lonza.
	 
	 		5.2		Lonza agrees to indemnify and
      hold harmless Geron (and each person, if any, who controls Geron within
      the meaning of Section 15 of the Act, and each officer and director of
      Geron) from and against losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions
      or proceedings in respect thereof), joint or several, directly or
      indirectly based upon or arising out of, (i) any failure of Lonza to
      comply with the covenants and agreements contained in Sections 7.1 and
      7.5.2 hereof or (ii) any untrue statement of a material fact contained in
      the Registration Statement or any omission of a material fact required to
      be stated in the Registration Statement or necessary in order to make the
      statements in the Registration Statement not misleading if such untrue
      statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with
      written information furnished to Geron by or on behalf of Lonza
      specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement;
      provided, however, that Lonza shall not be liable in any such case for (A)
      any untrue statement or omission in the Registration Statement,
      prospectus, or other such document which statement is corrected by Lonza
      and delivered to Geron prior to the sale from which such loss occurred,
      (B) any untrue statement or omission in any prospectus which is corrected
      by Lonza in any subsequent prospectus, or supplement or amendment thereto,
      and delivered to Geron prior to the sale or sales from which a loss or
      liability arose, or (C) any failure by Geron to fulfill any of its
      obligations under Section 5.1 hereof.
	 
	 		5.3		Promptly after receipt by any
      indemnified person of a notice of a claim or the beginning of any action
      in respect of which indemnity is to be sought against an indemnifying
      person pursuant to this Section 5, such indemnified person shall notify
      the indemnifying person in writing of such claim or of the commencement of
      such action, but the omission to so notify the indemnifying party will not
      relieve it from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party
      under this Section 5 (except to the extent that such omission materially
      and adversely affects the indemnifying party’s ability to defend such
      action) or from any liability otherwise than under this Section 5. Subject
      to the provisions hereinafter stated, in case any such action shall be
      brought against an indemnified person, the indemnifying person shall be
      entitled to participate therein, and, to the extent that it shall elect by
      written notice delivered to the indemnified party promptly after receiving
      the aforesaid notice from such indemnified party, shall be entitled to
      assume the defense thereof, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such
      indemnified person. After notice from the indemnifying person to such
      indemnified person of its election to assume the defense thereof, such
      indemnifying person shall not be liable to such indemnified person for any
      legal expense subsequently incurred by such indemnified person in
      connection with the defense thereof, provided, however, that if there
      exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make
      inappropriate, in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the indemnified
      person, for the same counsel to represent both the indemnified person and
      such indemnifying person or any affiliate or associate thereof, the
      indemnified person shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the
      expense of such indemnifying person; provided, however, that no
      indemnifying person shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of more
      than one separate counsel (together with appropriate local counsel) for
      all indemnified parties. In no event shall any indemnifying person be
      liable in respect to any amounts paid in settlement of any action unless
      the indemnifying person shall have approved the terms of such settlement.
      No indemnifying person shall, without the prior written consent of the
      indemnified person, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened
      proceeding in respect of which any indemnified person is a party, unless
      such settlement includes an unconditional release of such indemnified
      person from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such
      proceeding.
	 

4 

	 		5.4	      	The provisions of this Section 5
      shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
	 
	6.	      	REPRESENTATIONS AND
      ACKNOWLEDGEMENT OF GERON.
	 
	 		Geron hereby
      represents, warrants and covenants to Lonza as follows:
	 
	 		6.1		Organization, Good Standing
      and Qualification. Geron is a
      corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under
      the laws of the State of Delaware and has all requisite corporate power
      and authority to carry on its business as now conducted and as presently
      proposed to be conducted. Geron is duly qualified to transact business and
      is in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction in which
      the failure to so qualify would have a material adverse effect on its
      business or properties.
	 
	 		6.2		Authorization. Geron has full right, power, authority and capacity to
      enter into this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated
      hereby and thereby and has taken all necessary action to authorize the
      execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. Upon execution and
      delivery, this Agreement will constitute a valid and binding obligation of
      Geron enforceable against Geron in accordance with its terms, except as
      such enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
      reorganization, moratorium, fraudulent transfer, liquidation or similar
      laws relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditor's
      rights and remedies or by other equitable principles of general
      application from time to time in effect.
	 
	 		6.3		Valid Issuance of Common
      Stock. The Shares, when issued, sold
      and delivered in accordance with the terms hereof for the consideration
      expressed herein, will be duly and validly authorized and issued, fully
      paid and nonassessable and free of restrictions on transfer other than
      restrictions on transfer under this Agreement and applicable state and
      federal securities laws.
	 
	 		6.4		Legal Proceedings and
      Orders. There is no action, suit,
      proceeding or investigation pending or threatened against Geron that
      questions the validity of this Agreement or the right of Geron to enter
      into this Agreement or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby,
      nor is Geron aware of any basis for any of the foregoing. Geron is neither
      a party nor subject to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction,
      judgment or decree of any court or government agency or instrumentality
      that would affect the ability of Geron to enter into this Agreement or to
      consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.

	7.	      	REPRESENTATIONS AND
      ACKNOWLEDGMENTS OF LONZA.
	 
	 		Lonza hereby
      represents, warrants, acknowledges and agrees that:
	 
	 		7.1	      	Investment. Lonza is acquiring
      the Shares for Lonza’s own account, and not directly or indirectly for the
      account of any other person. Lonza is acquiring the Shares for investment
      and not with a view to distribution or resale thereof, except in
      compliance with the Act and any applicable state law regulating
      securities.
	 
	 		7.2		Access to
      Information. Lonza has consulted with
      its own attorney, accountant, or investment advisor as Lonza has deemed
      advisable with respect to the investment and has determined its
      suitability for Lonza. Lonza has had the opportunity to ask questions of,
      and to receive answers from, appropriate executive officers of Geron with
      respect to the terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated
      hereby and with respect to the business, affairs, financial condition and
      results of operations of Geron. In connection with the transactions
      contemplated hereunder, Geron may disclose to Lonza information which may
      constitute material, non-public information regarding Geron, and Lonza
      agrees to maintain in confidence any such information; provided, however,
      such information shall not include information (a) that is or becomes part
      of the public domain, (b) that was in Lonza’s possession without any
      obligation of confidentiality prior to the date Geron disclosed such
      information to Lonza, or (c) that is supplied to Lonza by a third party
      which is not subject to any restriction of confidentiality or
      non-disclosure. Lonza has had access to such financial and other
      information as is necessary in order for Lonza to make a fully informed
      decision as to investment in Geron, and has had the opportunity to obtain
      any additional information necessary to verify any of such information to
      which Lonza has had access. Lonza acknowledges that neither Geron nor any
      of its officers, directors, employees, agents, representatives, or
      advisors have made any representation or warranty other than those
      specifically expressed herein.
	 
	 		7.3		Business and
      Financial Expertise. Lonza further
      represents and warrants that it has such business or financial expertise
      as to be able to evaluate its investment in Geron and purchase of the
      Shares.
	 
	 		7.4		Speculative
      Investment. Lonza acknowledges that the
      investment in Geron represented by the Shares is highly speculative in
      nature and is subject to a high degree of risk of loss in whole or in
      part; the amount of such investment is within Lonza’s risk capital means
      and is not so great in relation to Lonza’s total financial resources as
      would jeopardize the personal financial needs of Lonza in the event such
      investment were lost in whole or in part.
	 
	 		7.5		Unregistered
      Securities. Lonza acknowledges
      that:
	 
	 		 		7.5.1	      	Lonza must bear the economic risk
      of investment for an indefinite period of time because the Shares have not
      been registered under the Act and therefore cannot and will not be sold
      unless they are subsequently registered under the Act or an exemption from
      such registration is available. Geron has made no agreements, covenants or
      undertakings whatsoever to register any of the Shares under the Act,
      except as provided in Section 4 above. Geron has made no representations,
      warranties or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from the
      Act, including, without limitation, any exemption for limited sales in
      routine brokers’ transactions pursuant to Rule 144 under the Act, will
      become available. Any such exemption pursuant to Rule 144, if available at
      all, will not be available unless: (i) a public trading market then exists
      in Geron’s Common Stock, (ii) Geron has complied with the information
      requirements of Rule 144, and (iii) all other terms and conditions of Rule
      144 have been satisfied.

6 

					7.5.2		Transfer of the Shares has not
      been registered or qualified under any applicable state law
      regulating securities and, therefore, the Shares cannot and will not be
      sold unless they are subsequently registered or qualified under any such
      act or an exemption therefrom is available. Geron has made no agreements,
      covenants or undertakings whatsoever to register or qualify any of the
      Shares under any such act. Geron has made no representations, warranties
      or covenants whatsoever as to whether any exemption from any such act will
      become available.
							 
	 		 		7.5.3	      	Lonza hereby certifies
      that it is an “Accredited

      (G)
MECHANICS OF PURCHASE OF SHARES BY INVESTOR. Subject to the satisfaction of the
conditions set forth in Sections 2(E), 7 and 8, the closing of the purchase by
the Investor of Shares (a "Closing") shall occur on the date which is no later
than seven (7) Trading Days following the applicable Put Notice Date (each a
"Closing Date"). Prior to each Closing Date, (I) the Company shall deliver to
the Investor pursuant to this Agreement, certificates representing the Shares to
be issued to the Investor on such date and registered in the name of the
Investor; and (II) the Investor shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price

delivering physical certificates representing the Securities and provided that
the Company's transfer agent then is participating in The Depository Trust

request of the Investor, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable
efforts to cause its transfer agent to electronically transmit the Securities by
crediting the account of the Investor's prime broker (as specified by the

through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system.

(delivery of Securities after the applicable Closing Date) in accordance with
the following schedule (where "No. of Days Late" is defined as the number of
trading days beyond the Closing Date, with the Amounts being

      The
Company shall make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately
available funds upon demand by the Investor. Nothing herein shall limit the
Investor's right to pursue actual damages for the Company's failure to issue and
deliver the Securities to the Investor, except that such late payments shall
offset any such actual damages incurred by the Investor, and any Open Market
Adjustment Amount, as set forth below.

            HALBERD CORPORATION. INVESTMENT AGREEMENT. APRIL 2009

          

          
            

          

        

        
          
          

        

      

       

       (H)
OVERALL LIMIT ON COMMON STOCK ISSUABLE. Notwithstanding anything contained
herein to the contrary, if during the Open Period the Company becomes listed on
an exchange that limits the number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
without shareholder approval, then the number of Shares issuable by the Company
and purchasable by the Investor, shall not exceed that number of the shares of
Common Stock that may be issuable without shareholder approval (the "Maximum
Common Stock Issuance").  If such issuance of shares of Common Stock
could cause a delisting on the Principal Market, then the Maximum Common Stock
Issuance shall first be approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance
with applicable law and the By-laws and Amended and Restated Certificate of
Incorporation of the Company, if such issuance of shares of Common Stock could
cause a delisting on the Principal Market. The parties understand and agree that
the Company's failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no
way adversely affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale
of Securities or the Investor's obligation in accordance with the terms and
conditions hereof to purchase a number of Shares in the aggregate up to the
Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only
to the applicability of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in
this Section 2(H).

       

       

      (I)  If,
by the third (3rd) business day after the Closing Date, the Company fails to
deliver any portion of the shares of the Put to the Investor (the "Put Shares
Due") and the Investor purchases, in an open market transaction or otherwise,
shares of Common Stock necessary to make delivery of shares which would have
been delivered if the full amount of the shares to be delivered to the Investor
by the Company (the "Open Market Share Purchase") , then the Company shall pay
to the Investor, in addition to any other amounts due to Investor pursuant to
the Put, and not in lieu thereof, the Open Market Adjustment Amount (as defined
below).  The "Open Market Adjustment Amount" is the amount equal to
the excess, if any, of (x) the Investor's total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the Open Market Share Purchase minus (y) the
net proceeds (after brokerage commissions, if any) received by the Investor from
the sale of the Put Shares Due.  The Company shall pay the Open Market
Adjustment Amount to the Investor in immediately available funds within five (5)
business days of written demand by the Investor.  By way of
illustration and not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Investor purchases
shares of Common Stock having a total purchase price (including brokerage
commissions) of $11,000 to cover an Open Market Purchase with respect to shares
of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the Open Market Purchase
Adjustment Amount which the Company will be required to pay to the Investor will
be $1,000.

       

      (J)  LIMITATION
ON AMOUNT OF OWNERSHIP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, in no event shall the Investor be entitled to purchase that number of
Shares, which when added to the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3
of the 1934 Act), by the Investor, would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares of
Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with
Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act.

       

      SECTION

OPPORTUNITY TO DISCUSS. The Investor has received all materials relating to the
Company's business, finance and operations which it has requested. The Investor

INVESTMENT PURPOSES. The Investor is purchasing the Securities for its own
account for investment purposes and not with a view towards distribution and
agrees to resell or otherwise dispose of the Securities solely in accordance
with the registration provisions of the 1933 Act (or pursuant to an exemption
from such registration provisions).

       

      (H) NO

      SECTION
4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE COMPANY.

       

      Except as
set forth in the Schedules attached hereto, or as disclosed on the Company's SEC
Documents, the Company represents and warrants to the Investor
that:

validly existing in good standing under the laws of the State of
Nevada, USA and has the requisite corporate power and authorization to own
its properties and to carry on its business as now being conducted. Both the
Company and the companies it owns or controls (“Subsidiaries”) are duly
qualified to do business and are in good standing in every jurisdiction in which
its ownership of property or the nature of the business conducted by it makes
such qualification necessary, except to the extent that the failure to be so
qualified or be in good standing would not have a Material Adverse Effect. As
used in this Agreement, "Material Adverse Effect" means any material adverse
effect on the business, properties, assets, operations, results of operations,
financial condition or prospects of the Company and its Subsidiaries, if any,
taken as a whole, or on the transactions contemplated hereby or by the
agreements and instruments to be entered into in connection herewith, or on the
authority or ability of the Company to perform its obligations under the Equity
Line Transaction Documents (as defined in Section 1 and 4(B),

      (II) The execution and delivery of the
Equity Line Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by it of

Agreement, have been duly and validly authorized by the Company's Board of
Directors and no further consent or authorization is required by the Company,

      (III) The Equity Line Transaction

enforceable against the Company in accordance with their terms, except as such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable

relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of creditors' rights and
remedies.

       

      (C)

Company consists of 120,000,000 shares of Common Stock with $.001 par value per

      (D)
ISSUANCE OF SHARES. The Company has reserved 32,100,000 Shares for issuance
pursuant to this Agreement, which have been duly authorized and reserved those
Shares for issuance (subject to adjustment pursuant to the Company's covenant
set forth in Section 5(F) below) pursuant to this Agreement. Upon issuance in
accordance with this Agreement, the Securities will be validly issued, fully
paid for and non-assessable and free from all taxes, liens and charges with
respect to the issue thereof. In the event the Company cannot register a
sufficient number of Shares for issuance pursuant to this Agreement, the Company
will use its best efforts to authorize and reserve for issuance the number of
Shares required for the Company to perform its obligations hereunder as soon as
reasonably practicable.

       

      (E) NO
CONFLICTS. The execution, delivery and performance of the Equity Line
Transaction Documents by the Company and the consummation by the Company of the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby will not (I) result in a violation
of the Certificate of Incorporation, any Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock of the
Company or the By-laws; or (II) conflict with, or constitute a material default
(or an event which with notice or lapse of time or both would become a material
default) under, or give to others any rights of termination, amendment,
acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, contract, indenture
mortgage, indebtedness or instrument to which the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries is a party, or to the Company's knowledge result in a violation of
any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including United States
federal and state securities laws and regulations and the rules and regulations
of the Principal Market or principal securities exchange or trading market on
which the Common Stock is traded or listed) 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 as disclosed in Schedule 4(e), neither
the Company nor its Subsidiaries is in violation of any term of, or in default
under, the Certificate of Incorporation, any Certificate of Designations,
Preferences and Rights of any outstanding series of preferred stock of the
Company or the By-laws or their organizational charter or by-laws, respectively,
or any contract, agreement, mortgage, indebtedness, indenture, instrument,
judgment, decree or order or any statute, rule or regulation applicable to the
Company or its Subsidiaries, except for possible conflicts, defaults,
terminations, amendments, accelerations, cancellations and violations that would
not individually or in the aggregate have or constitute a Material Adverse
Effect. The business of the Company and its Subsidiaries is not being conducted,
and shall not be conducted, in violation of any law, statute, ordinance, rule,
order or regulation of any governmental authority or agency, regulatory or
self-regulatory agency, or court, except for possible violations the sanctions
for which either individually or in the aggregate would not have a Material
Adverse Effect. Except as specifically contemplated by this Agreement and as
required under the 1933 Act or any securities laws of any states, to the
Company's knowledge, the Company is not required to obtain any consent,
authorization, permit or order of, or make any filing or registration (except
the filing of a registration statement as outlined in the Registration Rights
Agreement between the Parties) with, any court, governmental authority or
agency, regulatory or self-regulatory agency or other third party in order for
it to execute, deliver or perform any of its obligations under, or contemplated
by, the Equity Line Transaction Documents in accordance with the terms hereof or
thereof. All consents, authorizations, permits, 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 and are
in full force and effect as of the date hereof. Except as disclosed in Schedule
4(e), the Company and its Subsidiaries are unaware of any facts or circumstances
which might give rise to any of the foregoing. The Company is not, and will not
be, in violation of the listing requirements of the Principal Market as in
effect on the date hereof and on each of the Closing Dates and is not aware of
any facts which would reasonably lead to delisting of the Common Stock by the
Principal Market in the foreseeable future.

      (F) SEC
DOCUMENTS; FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. As of the date hereof, the Company has 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 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
incorporated by reference therein being hereinafter referred to as the "SEC
Documents"). The Company has delivered to the Investor or its representatives,
or they have had access through EDGAR to, true and complete copies of the SEC
Documents. As of their respective filing 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 to make the statements therein,
in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. 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
generally accepted accounting principles, by a firm that is a member of the
Public Companies Accounting Oversight Board ("PCAOB") consistently applied,
during the periods involved (except (I) as may be otherwise indicated in such
financial statements or the notes thereto, or (II) in the case of unaudited
interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may be condensed
or summary statements) 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). No other written
information provided by or on behalf of the Company to the Investor which is not
included in the SEC Documents, including, without limitation, information
referred to in Section 4(D) of this Agreement, contains any untrue statement of
a material fact or omits to state any material fact necessary to make the
statements therein, in the light of the circumstance under which they are or
were made, not misleading. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries or
any of their officers, directors, employees or agents have provided the Investor
with any material, nonpublic information which was not publicly disclosed prior
to the date hereof and any material, nonpublic information provided to the
Investor by the Company or its Subsidiaries or any of their officers, directors,
employees or agents prior to any Closing Date shall be publicly disclosed by the
Company prior to such Closing Date.

       

      (G)
ABSENCE OF CERTAIN CHANGES. Except as otherwise set forth in the SEC Documents,
the Company does not intend to change the business operations of the Company in
any material way. The Company has not taken any steps, and does not currently
expect to take any steps, to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor
does the Company or its Subsidiaries have any knowledge or reason to believe
that its creditors intend to initiate involuntary bankruptcy
proceedings.

       

      (H)
ABSENCE OF LITIGATION AND/OR REGULATORY PROCEEDINGS. Except as set forth in the
SEC Documents, there is no action, suit, 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 executive officers of
Company or any of its Subsidiaries, threatened against or affecting the Company,
the Common Stock or any of the Company's Subsidiaries or any of the Company's or
the Company's Subsidiaries' officers or directors in their capacities as such,
in which an adverse decision could have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (I)
ACKNOWLEDGMENT REGARDING INVESTOR'S PURCHASE OF SHARES. The Company acknowledges
and agrees that the Investor is acting solely in the capacity of an arm's length
purchaser with respect to the Transaction Documents and the transactions
contemplated hereby and thereby. The Company further acknowledges that the
Investor is not acting as a financial advisor or fiduciary of the Company (or in
any similar capacity) with respect to the Equity Line Transaction Documents and
the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby and any advice given by the
Investor or any of its respective representatives or agents in connection with
the Equity Line Transaction Documents and the transactions contemplated hereby
and thereby is merely incidental to the Investor's purchase of the Securities,
and is not being relied on by the Company. The Company further represents to the
Investor that the Company's decision to enter into the Equity Line Transaction
Documents has been based solely on the independent evaluation by the Company and
its representatives.

      (J) NO
UNDISCLOSED EVENTS, LIABILITIES, DEVELOPMENTS OR CIRCUMSTANCES. Except as set
forth in the SEC Documents, as of the date hereof, no event, liability,
development or circumstance has occurred or exists, or to the Company's
knowledge is contemplated to occur, with respect to the Company or its
Subsidiaries or their respective business, properties, assets, prospects,
operations or financial condition, that would be required to be disclosed by the
Company under applicable securities laws on a registration statement filed with
the SEC relating to an issuance and sale by the Company of its Common Stock and
which has not been publicly announced.

       

      (K)
EMPLOYEE RELATIONS. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries is involved
in any union labor dispute nor, to the knowledge of the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries, is any such dispute threatened. Neither the Company nor any of its
Subsidiaries is a party to a collective bargaining agreement, and the Company
and its Subsidiaries believe that relations with their employees are good. No
executive officer (as defined in Rule 501(f) of the 1933 Act) has notified the
Company that such officer intends to leave the Company's employ or otherwise
terminate such officer's employment with the Company.

       

      (L)
INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS. The Company and its Subsidiaries own or possess
adequate rights or licenses to use all trademarks, trade names, service marks,
service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent rights, copyrights,
inventions, licenses, approvals, governmental authorizations, trade secrets and
rights necessary to conduct their respective businesses as now conducted. Except
as set forth in the SEC Documents, none of the Company's trademarks, trade
names, service marks, service mark registrations, service names, patents, patent

marks, service mark registrations, trade secret or other similar rights of
others, or of any such development of similar or identical trade secrets or

and regulations relating to the protection of human health and safety, the
environment or hazardous or toxic substances or wastes, pollutants or

respective businesses; and (III) are in compliance, to the knowledge of

      (N)
TITLE. The Company and its Subsidiaries have good and marketable title to all
personal property owned by them which is material to the business of the Company
and its Subsidiaries, in each case free and clear of all liens, encumbrances and
defects except such as are described in the SEC Documents or such as do not
materially affect the value of such property and do not interfere with the use
made and proposed to be made of such property by the Company or any of its
Subsidiaries. Any real property and facilities held under lease by the Company
or any of its Subsidiaries are held by them under valid, subsisting and
enforceable leases with such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere
with the use made and proposed to be made of such property and buildings by the
Company and its Subsidiaries.

       

      (O)
INSURANCE. Each of the Company's Subsidiaries are insured by insurers of
recognized financial responsibility against such losses and risks and in such
amounts as management of the Company reasonably believes to be prudent and
customary in the businesses in which the Company and its Subsidiaries are
engaged. Neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries has been refused any
insurance coverage sought or applied for and neither the Company nor its
Subsidiaries 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.

       

      (P)
REGULATORY PERMITS. The Company and its Subsidiaries have in full force and
effect all certificates, approvals, authorizations and permits from the
appropriate federal, state, local or foreign regulatory authorities and
comparable foreign regulatory agencies, necessary to own, lease or operate their
respective properties and assets and conduct their respective businesses, and
neither the Company nor any such Subsidiary has received any notice of
proceedings relating to the revocation or modification of any such certificate,
approval, authorization or permit, except for such certificates, approvals,
authorizations or permits which if not obtained, or such revocations or
modifications which, would not have a Material Adverse Effect.

       

      (Q)
INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries maintain
a system of internal accounting controls sufficient 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 by a firm with membership to the PCAOB 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.

       

      (R) 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.

       

      (S) TAX
STATUS. The Company and each of its Subsidiaries has made or filed all United
States federal and state 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 provision 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.

      (T)
CERTAIN TRANSACTIONS. Except as set forth in the SEC Documents filed at least
ten (10) days prior to the date hereof and except for arm's length transactions

upon terms no less favorable than the Company could obtain from disinterested
third parties and other than the grant of stock options disclosed in the SEC
Documents, 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.

       

      (U)
DILUTIVE EFFECT. The Company understands and acknowledges that the number of
shares of Common Stock issuable upon purchases pursuant to this Agreement will
increase in certain circumstances including, but not necessarily limited to, the
circumstance wherein the trading price of the Common Stock declines during the
period between the Effective Date and the end of the Open Period. The Company's
executive officers and directors have studied and fully understand the nature of
the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and recognize that they have a
potential dilutive effect on the shareholders of the Company. The Board of
Directors of the Company has concluded, in its good faith business judgment, and
with full understanding of the implications, that such issuance is in the best
interests of the Company. The Company specifically acknowledges that, subject to
such limitations as are expressly set forth in the Equity Line Transaction
Documents, its obligation to issue shares of Common Stock upon purchases
pursuant to this Agreement is absolute and unconditional regardless of the
dilutive effect that such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other
shareholders of the Company.

       

      (V)
LOCK-UP. The Company shall cause its officers, insiders, directors, and
affiliates or other related parties under control of the Company, to use best
efforts in refraining from selling Common Stock during each Pricing

GENERAL SOLICITATION. Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any
person acting on its behalf, has engaged in any form of general solicitation or
general advertising (within the meaning of Regulation D) in connection with the

Agreement.

       

      (X) NO
BROKERS, FINDERS OR FINANCIAL ADVISORY FEES OR COMMISSIONS.  No
brokers, finders or financial advisory fees or commissions will be payable by

contemplated by this Agreement, except as otherwise disclosed in this
Agreement.

to the Investor as required hereunder. In the event that the Company determines
that it does not have a sufficient number of authorized shares of Common Stock
to reserve and keep available for issuance as described in this Section 5(F),
the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to increase the number
of authorized shares of Common Stock by seeking shareholder approval for the
authorization of such additional shares.

       

      (G)
LISTING. The Company shall promptly secure and maintain the listing of all of

expenses in connection with satisfying its obligations under this Section
5(G).

transactions contemplated by this Agreement) (collectively, the "Indemnitees")
from and against any and all actions, causes of action, suits, claims, losses,
costs, penalties, fees, liabilities and damages, and reasonable expenses in
connection therewith (irrespective of whether any such Indemnitee is a party to
the action for which indemnification hereunder is sought), and including
reasonable attorneys' fees and disbursements (the "Indemnified Liabilities"),
incurred by any Indemnitee as a result of, or arising out of, or relating to (I)
any misrepresentation or breach of any representation or warranty made by the

untrue statement, omission or alleged omission is made in reliance upon and in
conformity with information furnished to Indemnitor which is specifically
intended for use in the preparation of any such Registration Statement,

any reason, the Indemnitor shall make the maximum contribution to the payment
and satisfaction of each of the Indemnified Liabilities which is permissible
under applicable law. The indemnity provisions contained herein shall be in
addition to any cause of action or similar rights Indemnitor may have, and any
liabilities the Indemnitor or the Indemnitees may be subject to.

       (K)
PUBLICITY. The Company and the Investor shall consult with each other in issuing
any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby and no party shall issue any such press release
or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior consent of the
other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except
that no prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is required by law,
in which such case the disclosing party shall provide the other party with prior
notice of such public statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company
shall not publicly disclose the name of the Investor without the prior consent
of the Investor, except to the extent required by law. The Investor acknowledges
that this Agreement and all or part of the Equity Line Transaction Documents may
be deemed to be "material contracts" as that term is defined by Item 601(b)(10)
of Regulation S-B, and that the Company may therefore be required to file such
documents as exhibits to reports or registration statements filed under the 1933
Act or the 1934 Act.  The Investor further agrees that the status of
such documents and materials as material contracts shall be determined solely by
the Company, in consultation with its counsel.

       

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

       

      (M)
PLACEMENT AGENT. If so required by the SEC, the Company agrees to pay a
registered broker dealer, to act as placement agent, a percentage of the Put
Amount on each draw toward the fee as outlined in the Placement Agent
Agreement.  The Investor shall have no obligation with respect to any
fees or with respect to any claims made by or on behalf of other persons or
entities for fees of a type contemplated in this Section that may be due in
connection with the transactions contemplated by the Equity Line Transaction
Documents. The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Investor, their
employees, officers, directors, agents, and partners, and their respective
affiliates, from and against all claims, losses, damages, costs (including the
costs of preparation and attorney's fees) and expenses incurred in respect of
any such claimed or existing fees, as such fees and expenses are
incurred.

       

      (N) NO
STRICT CONSTRUCTION. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed to be
the language chosen by the parties to express their mutual intent, and no rules
of strict construction will be applied against any party, as the parties
mutually agree that each has had a full and fair opportunity to review this
Agreement and seek the advice of counsel on it.

       

      (O)
REMEDIES. The Investor shall have all rights and remedies set forth in this
Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement and all rights and remedies
which such holders have been granted at any time under any other agreement or
contract and all of the rights which the Investor has by law. Any person having
any rights under any provision of this Agreement shall be entitled to enforce
such rights specifically (without posting a bond or other security), to recover
damages by reason of any default or breach of any provision of this Agreement,
including the recovery of reasonable attorneys fees and costs, and to exercise
all other rights granted by law.

       

      (P)
PAYMENT SET ASIDE. To the extent that the Company makes a payment or payments to
the Investor hereunder or under the Registration Rights Agreement or the
Investor enforces or exercises its rights hereunder or thereunder, and such
payment or payments or the proceeds of such enforcement or exercise or any part
thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential,
set aside, recovered from, disgorged by or are required to be refunded, repaid
or otherwise restored to the Company, a trustee, receiver or any other person
under any law (including, without limitation, any bankruptcy law, state or
federal law, common law or equitable cause of action), then to the extent of any
such restoration the obligation or part thereof originally intended to be
satisfied shall be revived and continued in full force and effect as if such
payment had not been made or such enforcement or setoff had not
occurred.

       

      (Q)
PRICING OF COMMON STOCK. For purposes of this Agreement, the bid price of the
Common Stock shall be as reported on Bloomberg.

       

      SECTION
13. NON-DISCLOSURE OF NON-PUBLIC INFORMATION.

      (a) The
Company shall not disclose non-public information to the Investor, its advisors,
or its representatives.

       

      (b)
Nothing herein shall require the Company to disclose non-public information to
the Investor or its advisors or representatives, and the Company represents that
it does not disseminate non-public information to any investors who purchase
stock in the Company in a public offering, to money managers or to securities
analysts, provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the
contrary, the Company will, as hereinabove provided, immediately notify the
advisors and representatives of the Investor and, if any, underwriters, of any
event or the existence of any circumstance (without any obligation to disclose
the specific event or circumstance) of which it becomes aware, constituting
non-public information (whether or not requested of the Company specifically or
generally during the course of due diligence by such persons or entities),
which, if not disclosed in the prospectus included in the Registration Statement
would cause such prospectus to include a material misstatement or to omit a
material fact required to be stated therein in order to make the statements,
therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
Nothing contained in this Section 13 shall be construed to mean that such
persons or entities other than the Investor (without the written consent of the
Investor prior to disclosure of such information) may not obtain non-public
information in the course of conducting due diligence in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and nothing herein shall prevent any such persons or
entities from notifying the Company of their opinion that based on such due
diligence by such persons or entities, that the Registration Statement contains
an untrue statement of material fact or omits a material fact required to be
stated in the Registration Statement or necessary to make the statements
contained therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not
misleading.

      Ladies
and Gentlemen:

      

                 We
are counsel to Halberd
Corporation., a Nevada
corporation (the "Company"), and have represented the Company in connection with
that certain Investment Agreement (the "Investment Agreement") entered into by
and among the Company and Dutchess Equity Fund, LP (the "Investor") pursuant to
which the Company has agreed to issue to the Investor shares of the Company's
common stock, without par value per share (the "Common Stock") on the terms and
conditions set forth in the Investment Agreement. Pursuant to the Investment
Agreement, the Company also has entered into a Registration Rights Agreement
with the Investor (the "Registration Rights Agreement") pursuant to which the
Company agreed, among other things, to register the Registrable Securities (as
defined in the Registration Rights Agreement), including the shares of Common
Stock issued or issuable under the Investment Agreement under the Securities Act
of 1933, as amended (the "1933 Act"). In connection with the Company's
obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, on _________, 200_ the
Company filed a Registration Statement on Form S- ___ (File No. 333-________)
(the "Registration Statement") with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the
"SEC") relating to the Registrable Securities which names the Investor as a
selling shareholder thereunder.

      

                 In
connection with the foregoing, we advise you that [a member of the SEC's staff has advised us by
telephone that the SEC has entered an order declaring the Registration Statement
effective] [the Registration Statement has become
effective] under the 1933 Act at [enter the time of
effectiveness] on [enter the date of
effectiveness] and to the best of our knowledge, after telephonic inquiry
of a member of the SEC’s staff, no stop order suspending its effectiveness has
been issued and no proceedings for that purpose are pending before, or
threatened by, the SEC and the Registrable Securities are available for resale
under the 1933 Act pursuant to the Registration Statement.

      

                                                                                 Very
truly yours,

      

                                                                                 [Company
