(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 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.

(g)           The Securities.  The Securities upon issuance:

6

  

(iv)           will not subject the holders thereof to personal liability by reason of being such holders; and

           (v)           assuming the representations and warranties of the Subscriber 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 December 31, 2010, and except as disclosed in the Reports or modified in the Reports and Other Written Information or in the Schedules hereto, there has been no Material Adverse Effect relating to the Company’s business, financial condition or affairs. 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.

(k)           Defaults.  The Company is not in violation of its articles of incorporation or bylaws.   The Company is (i) 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 (ii) not in violation of any statute, rule or regulation of any governmental authority which violation would have a Material Adverse Effect.

(l)           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.

(m)           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.

(n)           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 December 31, 2010, 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(n).

(o)           No Undisclosed Events or Circumstances.  Since December 31, 2010, 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.

(p)           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 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.

(q)           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.

6.           Regulation D Offering/Legal Opinion.  The offer and issuance of the Securities to the Subscriber 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 Subscriber 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 Subscriber.  A form of the legal opinion is annexed hereto as Exhibit D.  The Company will provide, at the Company’s expense, to the Subscriber, such other legal opinions, if any, as are reasonably necessary in 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 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 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 indefinitely if such sale is intended to be made in conformity with Rule 144(b)(1)(i) of the 1933 Act, or for 90 days if pursuant to the other provisions of Rule 144 of the 1933 Act, provided that Subscriber delivers reasonably requested representations in support of such opinion.

(b)          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 three days after the Conversion Date (such third 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 Subscriber.  As compensation to Subscriber 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 Subscriber, 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 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) 120%, or (ii) a fraction the numerator of which is the highest closing price of the Common Stock for the thirty days preceding the date demand is made by Subscriber pursuant to this Section 7.2 and the denominator of which is the lowest applicable conversion price during such thirty (30) day period, plus accrued but unpaid interest and any other amounts due under the Transaction Documents ("Mandatory Redemption Payment"). The Mandatory Redemption Payment must be received by 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 day period prior to the actual receipt of the Mandatory Redemption Payment by such Subscriber shall be credited against the Mandatory Redemption Payment provided the balance of the Mandatory Redemption Payment is timely paid.  For purposes of this Section 7.2, “Change in Control” shall mean (i) the Company  becoming a Subsidiary of another entity (other than a corporation formed by the Company for purposes of reincorporation in another U.S. jurisdiction), (ii) the sale, lease or transfer of substantially all the assets of the Company or any Subsidiary, (iii) a majority of the members of the Company’s board of directors as of the Closing Date no longer serving as directors of the Company, except as a result of natural causes or as a result of hiring additional outside directors in order to meet appropriate stock exchange requirements, or (iv) Michael Gordon, the Chief Executive Officer of the Company is no longer serving as Chief Executive Officer unless prior written consent of the Subscriber had been obtained by the Company.  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.

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 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.

           7.5.           Buy-In.   In addition to any other rights available to Subscriber, 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 redeemable or callable by the Company, except as described in the Note.

The Company represents that, except as described on Schedule 8(a), there are no parties entitled to receive fees, commissions, finder’s fees, due diligence fees or similar payments in connection with the Offering.  Anything in this Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, Subscriber is providing indemnification only for such Subscriber’s own actions.

From the date of this Agreement and until the last to occur of (i) all the Conversion Shares have been resold or transferred by the Subscriber pursuant to a registration statement or pursuant to Rule 144(b)(1)(i), or (ii) none of the Notes and Warrants are outstanding (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.

Additionally the Company undertakes to pay no more than $10,000 per month to Yochi Cohen, and any of his affiliates or family members.  Failure to comply with this provision shall be a material default of the Company’s obligation under this Agreement and an Event of Default under the Note.

(f)          Reservation.   The Company undertakes to reserve on behalf of Subscriber from its authorized but unissued Common Stock, a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 110% of the amount of Common Stock necessary to allow Subscriber 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 Subscriber less than 110% 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 Subscriber not later than five days after the date the Company has less than the Minimum Required Reservation reserved on behalf of the Subscriber.

(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.

Subscriber will be granted sufficient time 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 Subscriber.  In the absence of any such Company indication, Subscriber 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 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 Subscriber 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.

10.           Covenants of the Company Regarding Indemnification.

(a)          The Company agrees to indemnify, hold harmless, reimburse and defend the Subscriber, the Subscriber’s 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 Subscriber 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 Subscriber relating hereto.

(b)           In no event shall the liability of the Subscriber 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).

11.           (a)           Favored Nations Provision.  Other than in connection with (i) the Company’s issuance of securities as full or partial consideration in connection with a bona fide strategic merger, acquisition, consolidation or purchase of substantially all of the securities or assets of a corporation or other entity so long as such issuances are not for the purpose of raising capital and which holders of such securities or debt are not at any time granted registration rights, and which have been approved by Subscriber, (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, and which have been approved by Subscriber, (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) , (iv) the Company’s issuance of 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 terms in effect on the Closing Date and disclosed in the Reports and which securities are also described on Schedule 11(a), and (v) as a result of the exercise of Warrants or payment of interest in Common Stock 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 (v) 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 Subscriber, 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 $0.001 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 Subscriber set forth in this Section 11 are in addition to any other rights the Subscriber has 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 Subscriber and Company are parties.

 

  

18

Until twelve (12) months following the Closing Date, the Subscriber shall be given not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any proposed sale by the Company of its common stock or other securities or equity linked debt obligations (“Other Offering”), except in connection with the Excepted Issuances.  If Subscriber elects to exercise its rights pursuant to this Section 11(b), the Subscriber shall have the right during the fifteen (15) days following receipt of the notice, to purchase in the aggregate up to all of such offered common stock, debt or other securities in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the notice of sale, relative to each other in proportion to the amount of Note Principal issued to it on the Closing Date.  In the event such terms and conditions are modified during the notice period, Subscriber shall be given prompt notice of such modification and shall have the right during the fifteen (15) days following the notice of modification to exercise such right.

(c)           Maximum Exercise of Rights.   In the event the exercise of the rights described in Section 11(a) and Section 11(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.

Nothing in this Section shall affect or limit any right to serve process in any other manner permitted by law.

SCHEDULE 9(1) — INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

 

Explosive devices are increasingly being used in asymmetric warfare to cause destruction to property and loss of life. These explosive devices sometimes can be disrupted, but often there is insufficient warning of an attack. Our BlastWrap® products were created around this core concept. The BlastWrap® patent application was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on July 31, 2003. The BlastWrap patent application was filed with Argentina on March 12, 2004; with Kuwait on July 28, 2004, and with the European market, China, Japan, Singapore, New Zealand, Indonesia, Korea, India, Australia, Israel, and Canada on February 27, 2004 and we also filed an application for this technology under the Patent Cooperation Treaty on February 27, 2004. Under this treaty, we expect to have patent protection in most industrialized countries when the patent is issued in each individual country. A substantial number of countries have been added to the list of the treaty members, including almost all of the former Soviet republics and China; thus the new claims will be protected in more than 40 countries. A second patent application for "Blast mitigating container assemblies" was filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on April 29, 2004 and a new U.S. Continuation-In-Part patent application for "Blast mitigating container assemblies" on January 26, 2005. We also filed an application for this "Blast mitigating container assemblies" technology under the Patent Cooperation Treaty on January 26, 2006.

 

On October 13, 2009, BlastGard was notified by its patent counsel that its patent application for its BlastWrap material was granted from the Eurasian Patent Office. The terms of this patent will expire on February 27, 2024. The patent will be valid in all contracting states: Armenia (AM), Azerbaijan (AZ), Belarus (BY), Kirgizstan (KG), Kazakstan (KZ), Moldova (MD), Russia (RU), Tajikistan (TJ), and Turlunenistan (TM). In addition, we have been issued patents in Argentina, granted on September 17, 2007, and in Singapore, granted on August 31, 2007 for our "improved acoustic/shock wave attenuating assembly" (i.e. BlastWrap). On March 18, 2008, our patent-pending application (No. 11/042,318) for our explosive effect mitigated containers (i.e. BlastGard MTR and MBR") was issued as U.S. Patent No. 7,343,843.
