Item 1.
Business.
   
Overview

Our goal is to become a medical center of excellence using cell and tissue regenerative therapy protocols, primarily involving a patient’s own (autologous) adult stem cells (non-embryonic), allowing patients to undergo cellular-based treatments. As more and more cellular therapies become standard of care, we intend to focus on the unity of medical and scientific explanations for future clinical procedures and outcomes and the provision of adult stem cells for future personal medical applications.
 
We currently are developing an infrastructure to establish a laboratory for the possible development of cellular-based treatment protocols, stem cell-related intellectual property (“IP”), biological tools (“bio tools”), and research applications as well as for stem cell collection and storage services.
 
We also operate a wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Cellutrition™, LLC, which plans to offer and sell facial creams and other skin care products with certain ingredients that may include stem cells and/or other stem cell optimization or regenerative compounds.

We are a development stage enterprise.  Our primary activities in the stem cell area have been the development of our business plan, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, and raising capital.  We have not commenced our principal operations, nor have we generated any revenues from our operations.

Strategy
 
We are concentrating our initial efforts in offering comprehensive, potentially multi-visit, private-pay patient cellular-based treatment programs in selective areas of medicine where the treatment protocol is minimally invasive.  As our operations grow, we plan to extend our practice to include cellular therapy for the treatment of other diseases and injuries.

We intend to initially establish adult stem cell therapy facilities outside the United States.  We intend to work with hospitals and physicians to make our stem cell-based therapies available for patients who travel for treatment (“medical tourism”).  Subject to the relaxation of regulatory restrictions, we intend to establish additional stem cell therapy facilities within the United States as well.

We also intend to develop a laboratory capable of performing cellular characterization and culturing, and therapeutic outcomes analysis, developing bio tools and other stem cell-related IP, and stem cell collection and storage services.
 
Treatment

Every human being has stem cells in his or her body.  These cells exist from the early stages of human development until the end of a person’s life.  Throughout our lives, our body continues to produce stem cells that regenerate to produce differentiated cells that make up various aspects of the body such as skin, blood, muscle and nerves.  These are generally referred to as adult stem cells.  These cells are important for the purpose of medical therapies aiming to replace lost or damaged cells or tissues.

 
 

 
Regenerative cell therapy relies on replacing diseased, damaged or dysfunctional cells with healthy, functioning ones or repairing damaged or diseased tissue.  A great range of cells can serve in cell therapy, including cells found in peripheral and umbilical cord blood, bone marrow and adipose (fat) tissue.  Physicians have been using adult stem cells from bone marrow to treat various blood cancers for over 40 years. Recently, the use of stem cells has begun to be used to treat various other diseases.  We intend to use and develop cell and tissue regenerative therapy protocols, primarily involving a patient’s own (autologous) adult stem cells (non-embryonic), to allow patients to undergo cellular-based treatments.

We intend to concentrate initially on therapeutic areas where risk to the patient is low, recovery is relatively easy, and where (i) results can be demonstrated through sufficient clinical data; (ii) patients and referring doctors will be comfortable with the procedure; and (iii) recovery, monitoring, patient follow-up and data collection/analysis is far less complicated than more invasive protocols.  We believe that there will be readily identifiable groups of patients who will benefit from these procedures.

Accordingly, we plan to focus our initial efforts in offering comprehensive, potentially multi-visit, patient cellular-based treatment programs in selective areas of medicine where the treatment protocol is minimally invasive.  We anticipate that substantially all of our procedures will be private pay (meaning that they will not be subject to reimbursement by governmental and other third party payers).  We also anticipate that patients will find it necessary to return for periodic treatments.

Due to regulatory limitations, our treatment centers will initially need to be established outside the United States.  In the event that such restrictions are relaxed and demand for stem cell therapies increases, we intend to establish treatment facilities in the United States.

Following our initial operational efforts, we intend to extend our practice to cellular therapy for the treatment of diseases and other injuries, that may include heart disease, diabetes, wounds, burns and autoimmune diseases (including rheumatoid arthritis, Type 1 diabetes, Crohn’s Disease and multiple sclerosis).  The costs of entry into these market places will be higher, in that most procedures would need to be performed in a hospital or hospital-like setting to better assure the well-being of the patient and success of the outcome.

We intend that the majority of our procedures will involve adult stem cells harvested from a patient’s own (autologous) cells so that there is no chance of rejection or disease being spread from donor to patient.  We intend to focus on developing personalized, patient-specific treatment programs that provide for additional or follow-on therapies, patient outcome monitoring, and the accumulation/analysis of critical medical data.  We also intend to carefully monitor patient response and satisfaction.

Laboratory

We are currently developing a state-of-the-art facility in Jupiter, Florida to be used as a laboratory, and for the possible development of cellular-based treatment protocols and research applications.
 
As operations grow, our plans include the expansion of our laboratory to perform cellular characterization and culturing, stem cell-related IP development, therapeutic outcome analysis, and stem cell collection and storage services, and developing a bio tools product portfolio targeted to meet the demands of the large pharmaceutical companies’ drug discovery and development platforms.  As we develop our business and additional stem cell treatments are approved, we intend to establish ourselves as the provider of adult stem cells for therapies and expand to provide cells in other market areas for stem cell therapy – potentially, such areas as orthopedics, diabetes, heart disease and autoimmune disease.
 
We plan to eventually open additional laboratories that are capable of supplying stem cells to those physicians who use those cells to treat disease.  We intend to position ourselves as a source and leader in providing those cells for treatments.
 
Biobanking
 
Storing one’s own stem cells, or autologous stem cell banking, is the only way to ensure that there is a genetic stem cell match when stem cells are later needed for a medical procedure. Often, patients are recommended by their physicians for a stem cell transplant as the only option for the treatment of their illness; some, however, never find a match, thereby making the therapy impossible.  Even in instances where a donor can be found, patient conditions may have worsened drastically such that the body rejects the cell transplant.  By having one’s own stem cells already banked – before the onset of disease – this circumstance may be avoided.  Autologous stem cell transplants also eliminate the need for immunosuppressant therapy, which is required when a donor is involved; patients often succumb to a lifetime of prescription drugs given to prevent cell transplant rejection. When autologous cells are transplanted, generally, no medications of this kind are needed.
 
As more patients use stem cells for treatments and therapies, there is an added value to them in having any additional stem cells that were collected for the procedure to be cryopreserved and stored. These cells can potentially be used for future or additional cell-based treatments. We intend to develop medical services to ensure the most effective means of cell storage and intend to bank autologous stem cells at our laboratory and/or other facilities.
 
Technology
 
We intend to utilize our laboratory in connection with cellular research activities.  We intend to seek to develop potential stem cell delivery systems or devices.  The goal of these specialized devices is to deliver cells into specific areas of the body, control the rate, amount and types of cells used in a treatment, and populate these areas of the body with sufficient stem cells so that engraftment occurs.
 
 
3

 
We also intend to perform research to develop certain stem cell optimization compounds or “recipes” to enhance cellular growth and regeneration for the purpose of improving pre-treatment and post-treatment outcomes.
 
As our laboratory and treatment procedures evolve, we may also seek to develop proprietary diagnostic methods using cellular biomarkers as a source for determining the potential development of disease and to evaluate the efficacy of anti-aging therapeutics and other pharmaceuticals.
 
Our success will depend in large part on our ability to protect our proprietary technology. We intend to rely on a combination of patent, trade secret, copyright and trademark laws, as well as confidentiality agreements, licensing agreements and other agreements, to establish and protect our proprietary rights.  Our success will also depend upon our ability to avoid infringing upon the proprietary rights of others, for if we are judicially determined to have infringed such rights, we may be required to pay damages, alter our services, products or processes, obtain licenses or cease certain activities.
 
Stem Cellutrition

We have established Stem Cellutrition™, a stem cell-based cosmetic skincare company, to offer plant derived stem cell cosmetic products.  We anticipate that Stem Pearls™ (our first branded product) will be an integral part of our cosmetic/aesthetic treatment program, as it is expected that it will be sold and used as part of the therapy programs developed by us.  We also intend to offer the products directly to stores, through web-related sales or through cosmetic distributor companies to retail, spa, or other medical locations.

Stem Pearls™ has been formulated to provide a comprehensive personal skincare system that protects the longevity of essential cells.  The line includes a plant stem cell serum, apple glycolic cleanser, apple amber scrub and a moisturizing treatment.  The products are derived from the stem cells of a rare-variety 18 th century Swiss apple known for its storability.

Physician Network

We have relationships with a number of leading medical practitioners in the field of cellular therapy.  We intend to recruit medical practitioners to perform cellular therapy procedures at our centers.  We also intend to utilize such practitioners to train local doctors to perform our therapies and to use our techniques and protocols, thereby enhancing the quality of our therapeutic care.

Competition
 
We will compete with many pharmaceutical, biotechnology, medical device and bio tools companies, as well as other private and public stem cell companies involved in the development and commercialization of cell-based medical technologies and therapies.
 
Regenerative medicine is rapidly progressing, in large part through the development of cell-based therapies or devices designed to isolate cells from human tissues. Most efforts involve cell sources, such as bone marrow, embryonic and fetal tissue, umbilical cord and peripheral blood and skeletal muscle.

Companies working in the area of regenerative medicine include, among others, Cytori Therapeutics, Osiris, Aastrom Biosciences, Aldagen, BioTime, Baxter International, Celgene, Geron, Harvest Technologies, Mesoblast, Regenexx, NeoStem, X-Cell Center, Stem Cells, Athersys, and Tissue Genesis.  Companies working in the area of biological tools include, among others, Life Technologies, Asterand, Pacific Biosciences of California, and AllCells.  Many of our competitors and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technological, research and development, marketing and personnel resources than we do.  We cannot with any accuracy forecast when or if these companies are likely to bring cell therapies to market for procedures that we are also pursuing. 

Customers

Our treatment services are intended to be marketed to the general public via the Internet, and at trade shows to physicians and other health care professionals, skin care professionals and beauty product distributors.  We intend to market our product portfolio for clinical applications and to research institutions and large pharmaceutical companies.  Our Stem Pearls™ product line is intended to be sold via the Internet and to stores either directly or by way of distributors.
 
Governmental Regulation

U.S. Government Regulation

The health care industry is highly regulated in the United States. The federal government, through various departments and agencies, state and local governments, and private third-party accreditation organizations regulate and monitor the health care industry. The following is a general overview of the laws and regulations pertaining to our business.

Human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (“HCT/Ps”) Regulation

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”) regulates the manufacture of human cells, tissues, and cellular and tissue-based products (“HCT/Ps”) under the authority of the Public Health Safety Act (“PHSA”) and exercises this authority pursuant to Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations. Part 1271 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations (21 C.F.R. § 1271) establishes a unified registration and listing system for establishments that manufacture HCT/Ps and requires donor eligibility determinations through donor screening and testing, current good tissue practices, and other procedures to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases.

The adult autologous (self-derived) stem cells that will be used in our cellular therapy, bio tools, and for biobanking may be defined as HCT/Ps under 21 C.F.R. § 1271. The lipo rejuvenation centers that are established in the United States may be subject to the requirements outlined in Part 1271 if the treatment centers engage in donor screening, donor testing, and collection of HCT/Ps for biobanking. Our laboratory in the United States that will process and store stem cells must satisfy the requirements of 21 C.F.R. § 1271.  The regulatory requirements of 21 C.F.R. § 1271 include the following:

 
5

 
 
·  
registration and listing of HCT/Ps with the FDA;

·  
donor eligibility determinations, including donor screening and donor testing requirements;

·  
current good tissue practices, specifically including requirements for the facilities, environmental controls, equipment, supplies and reagents, recovery of HCT/Ps from the patient, processing, storage, labeling and document controls, and distribution and shipment of the HCT/Ps to the laboratory, storage, or other facility;

·  
tracking and traceability of HCT/Ps and equipment, supplies, and reagents used in the manufacture of HCT/Ps;

·  
adverse event reporting;

·  
FDA inspection;

·  
importation of HCT/Ps; and

·  
abiding by any FDA order of retention, recall, destruction, and cessation of manufacturing of HCT/Ps.

Non-reproductive HCT/Ps and non-peripheral blood stem/progenitor cells that are offered for import and regulated solely under section 361 of the PHSA must satisfy the requirements under 21 C.F.R. § 1271.420. Section 1271.420 requires that the importer of record of HCT/Ps offered for import must notify the appropriate FDA official prior to, or at the time of, importation and provide sufficient information for the FDA to make an admissibility decision. In addition, the importer must hold the HCT/P intact and under conditions necessary to prevent transmission of communicable disease until an admissibility decision is made by the FDA.
 
Current Good Manufacturing Practices and other FDA Regulations of Cellular Therapy Products

In addition to the regulations under 12 C.F.R. § 1271, the FDA requires additional requirements for those HCT/Ps in the United States that are regulated as drugs, medical devices, and/or biological products under section 351 of the PHSA and/or the Federal Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”). The additional regulatory requirements under the FDCA are current Good Manufacturing Practices (“cGMPs”) for drug products, which are found in Parts 210 and 211; General Biological Product Standards for biological products, which are found in Part 610; and Quality System Regulation for medical devices, which are found in Part 820. These cGMPs and quality standards are designed to ensure the products that are processed at a facility that meets the FDA’s applicable requirements for identity, strength, quality, sterility, purity, and safety.

 
6

 
Good Laboratory Practices

The FDA prescribes good laboratory practices (“GLPs”) for conducting nonclinical laboratory studies that support applications for research or marketing permits for products regulated by the FDA under Part 58 of Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations. GLPs are intended to assure the quality and integrity of the safety data filed in research and marketing permits. GLPs provide requirements for organization, personnel, facilities, equipment, testing facilities operation, test and control articles, protocol for nonclinical laboratory study, records, reports, and disqualification by the FDA.

Promotion of Foreign-based Cellular Therapy Treatment—“Medical Tourism”

Initially, we intend to establish adult stem cell therapy facilities outside the United States and work with hospitals and physicians to make the stem cell-based therapies available for patients who travel outside the United States for treatment. “Medical tourism” is defined as the practice of traveling across international borders to obtain health care. We intend to market our treatment services on the Internet and at trade shows to physicians and other health care professionals, skin care professionals, and beauty product distributors.

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) has the authority to regulate and police advertising of medical treatments, procedures, and regimens in the United States under the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTCA”). Under sections 5(a) and 12 of the FTCA (15 U.S.C. §§45(a) and 52), the FTC has regulatory authority to prevent unfair and deceptive practices and false advertising. Specifically, the FTC requires advertisers and promoters to have a reasonable basis to substantiate and support claims. The FTC has many enforcement powers, one of which is the power to order disgorgement by promoters deemed in violation of the FTCA of any profits made from the promoted business and can order injunctions from further violative promotion.

Medical Device Regulation

Newly developed medical devices must receive regulatory clearance or approval from the FDA and, in many instances, from non-U.S. and state governments prior to their sale.   The FDA regulates the design/development process, clinical testing, manufacture, safety, labeling, sale, distribution, and promotion of medical devices and drugs under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act.  Included among these regulations are pre-market clearance and pre-market approval requirements, design control requirements and the Quality System Regulations/Good Manufacturing Practices.  Other statutory and regulatory requirements govern, among other things, registration and inspection, medical device listing, prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration, labeling and post-market reporting.
 
The regulatory process can be lengthy, expensive and uncertain.  Before any new medical device may be introduced to the U.S. market, the manufacturer generally must obtain FDA clearance or approval through either the 510(k) pre-market notification process or the lengthier pre-market approval, or PMA, application process.  It generally takes three to 12 months from submission to obtain 510(k) pre-market clearance, although it may take longer.  Approval of a PMA could take four or more years from the time the process is initiated.  The 510(k) and PMA processes can be expensive, uncertain, and lengthy, and there is no guarantee of ultimate clearance or approval.  Securing FDA clearances and approvals may require the submission of extensive clinical data and supporting information to the FDA, and there can be no guarantee of ultimate clearance or approval.  Failure to comply with applicable requirements can result in application integrity proceedings, fines, recalls or seizures of products, injunctions, civil penalties, total or partial suspensions of production, withdrawals of existing product approvals or clearances, refusals to approve or clear new applications or notifications, and criminal prosecution.

 
7

 
Medical devices are also subject to post-market reporting requirements for deaths or serious injuries when the device may have caused or contributed to the death or serious injury, and for certain device malfunctions that would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur.  If safety or effectiveness problems occur after the product reaches the market, the FDA may take steps to prevent or limit further marketing of the product.  Additionally, the FDA actively enforces regulations prohibiting marketing and promotion of devices for indications or uses that have not been cleared or approved by the FDA. In addition, modifications or enhancements of products that could affect the safety or effectiveness or effect a major change in the intended use of a device that was either cleared through the 510(k) process or approved through the PMA process may require further FDA review through new 510(k) or PMA submissions.

Cosmetic and Skin Care Regulation

We have established Stem Cellutrition™, a stem cell-based cosmetic skincare company, to offer plant derived stem cell cosmetic products. The FDA has authority to regulate cosmetics marketed in the United States under the FDCA and the Fair Packaging and Labeling Act (“FPLA”).

The FDCA prohibits the marketing of adulterated and misbranded cosmetics. Cosmetic products are adulterated when the product’s composition violates the FDCA. The adulteration can be the result of ingredients, contaminants, processing, packaging, or shipping and handling violation. Under the FDCA, a cosmetic is adulterated if:

·  
it bears or contains any poisonous or deleterious substance that would make it injurious or unsafe for users under conditions of use provided on the label;

·  
it consists of any filthy, putrid, or decomposed substance;

·  
it has been prepared, packed, or held under insanitary conditions whereby it may have become contaminated or injurious to health; or

·  
its container is composed of any poisonous or deleterious substance that would make it injurious or unsafe for users.

 
8

 
 
A cosmetic is misbranded if it is improperly labeled or deceptively packaged. Under the FDCA, a cosmetic is misbranded if:

·  
its labeling is false or misleading;

·  
its label does not include all required information;

·  
the required information is not adequately prominent and conspicuous as required by the regulations;

·  
the container is so made, formed, or filled as to be misleading; or

·  
its packaging or labeling is in violation of other applicable regulations issued under the Poison Prevention Packaging Act of 1970.

In addition to the FDCA, under the authority of the FPLA, the FDA requires an ingredient declaration to enable consumers to make informed decisions. If the cosmetic fails to comply with FPLA, it is misbranded under the FDCA.

Cosmetic products and ingredients, with the exception of color additives, are not required to have FDA premarket approval. Manufacturers of cosmetics are also not required to register their establishments, file data on ingredients, or report cosmetic-related injuries to the FDA. Stem Cellutrition™, our cosmetic subsidiary, is responsible for substantiating the safety of the products and ingredients before marketing. The FDA may pursue enforcement action against violative products or against firms or individuals who violate the law. Specifically, the FDA can pursue action through the Department of Justice in the federal court system to remove the violative product from the market, obtain a restraining order to prevent further shipment of the product, and seize any violative product. The FDA may also initiate a criminal action against a person violating the law.

Some products are both cosmetics and drugs under the FDCA because the products meet the definitions of both cosmetics and drugs. Products that are both cosmetics and drugs because of ingredients or intended use must satisfy the regulatory requirements for both cosmetics and drugs. Drugs are subject to FDA approval, generally by receiving premarket approval by the FDA or conform to final regulations specifying conditions that must be met for a drug to be generally recognized as safe and effective.

Over-the-counter (“OTC”) drugs are non-prescription drugs, which must either be approved through the New Drug Application (“NDA”) process or comply with the appropriate OTC Monograph. An NDA is the process whereby a drug sponsor formally proposes that the FDA approve a new pharmaceutical for sale and marketing in the United States. The FDA will evaluate the new pharmaceutical for safety and effectiveness for its intended use and ensures that the benefits outweigh the risks. The OTC Monographs are rules that are published in the Federal Register and state requirements for some non-prescription drugs, such as what types of ingredients and intended uses may be used. In addition, OTC drug manufacturers must also register with the FDA, follow cGMPs pursuant to 21 C.F.R. Parts 210 and 211, and label the drug products in accordance with the applicable regulations, such as the “Drug Facts” labeling promulgated in 21 C.F.R. § 201.63.

 
9

 
State and Local Government Regulation

Some states and local governments regulate stem cell collection, processing, and administration facilities and require these facilities to obtain specific licenses. Our Florida laboratory will be required to comply with Florida law, including becoming licensed as a clinical laboratory and being subject to inspection. Some states, such as New York and Maryland, require licensure of out-of-state facilities that process cell, tissue and/or blood samples of residents of those states. We will obtain the applicable state licensures for our laboratory and treatment centers and comply with the current and any new licensing laws that become applicable in the future.

Federal Regulation of Clinical Laboratories

Congress passed the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) in 1988, which provided the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) authority over all laboratory testing, except research, that are performed on humans in the United States. The Division of Laboratory Services, within the Survey and Certification Group, under the Center for Medicaid and State Operations (“CMSO”) has the responsibility for implementing the CLIA program.

The CLIA program is designed to establish quality laboratory testing by ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of patient test results. Under CLIA, a laboratory is a facility that does laboratory testing on specimens derived from humans and used to provide information for the diagnosis, prevention, treatment of disease, or impairment of, or assessment of health. Laboratories that handle stem cells and other biologic matter are, therefore, included under the CLIA program. Under the CLIA program, laboratories must be certified by the government, satisfy governmental quality and personnel standards, undergo proficiency testing, be subject to inspections, and pay fees. The failure to comply with CLIA standards could result in suspension, revocation, or limitation of a laboratory’s CLIA certificate. In addition, fines or criminal penalties could also be levied. To the extent that our business activities require CLIA certification, we intend to obtain and maintain such certification.

Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act—Protection of Patient Health Information

The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) included the Administrative Simplification provisions that require the Secretary of the Department of Health and Human Services (“HHS”) to publicize standards for the electronic exchange, privacy, and security of health information.  HHS published the Standards for Privacy of Individually Identifiable Health Information (“Privacy Rule”) and the Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information (“Security Rule”) to protect the privacy and security of certain health information. The Privacy Rule addresses the use and disclosure of an individual’s protected health information by covered entities and applies to health plans, health care clearinghouses, and any health care provider who transmits health information in electronic format. In addition to these entities, the Privacy Rule also applies to business associates and requires certain requirements to be placed in contracts between business associates and covered entities.

 
10

 
The Security Rule establishes a national security standard for protecting certain health information that is held or transferred in electronic form. The Security Rule implements the protections in the Privacy Rule by addressing the technical and non-technical safeguards that covered entities must put in place to secure individuals’ electronic protected health information.

Companies failing to comply with the HIPAA standards may be subject to civil money penalties or criminal prosecution. To the extent that our business requires compliance with HIPAA, we intend to fully comply with all requirements.

Other Applicable U.S. Laws

In addition to the above-described regulation by United States federal and state government, the following are other federal and state laws and regulations that could directly or indirectly affect our ability to operate the business:

·  
state and local licensure, registration, and regulation of the development of pharmaceuticals and biologics;

·  
state and local licensure of medical professionals;

·  
state statutes and regulations related to the corporate practice of medicine;

·  
laws and regulations administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) related to the importation of biological material into the United States;

·  
other laws and regulations administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration;

·  
other laws and regulations administered by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services;

·  
state and local laws and regulations governing human subject research and clinical trials;

·  
the federal physician self-referral prohibition, also known as Stark Law, and any state equivalents to Stark Law;

·  
the Medicare and Medicaid Anti-Kickback Law and any state equivalent statutes and regulations;

·  
Federal and state coverage and reimbursement laws and regulations;

 
11

 
 
·  
state and local laws and regulations for the disposal and handling of medical waste and biohazardous material;

·  
Occupational Safety and Health (“OSHA”) regulations and requirements; and

·  
the Intermediate Sanctions rules of the IRS providing for potential financial sanctions with respect to “Excess Benefit Transactions” with HUMC or other tax-exempt organizations.

Foreign Government Regulation

We will need to comply with the government regulations of each individual country in which our therapy centers are located and products are to be distributed and sold. These regulations vary in complexity and can be as stringent, and on occasion even more stringent, than FDA regulations in the United States. Due to the fact that there are new and emerging cell therapy and cell banking regulations that have recently been drafted and/or implemented in various countries around the world, the application and subsequent implementation of these new and emerging regulations have little to no precedence. Therefore, the level of complexity and stringency is not always precisely understood today for each country, creating greater uncertainty for the international regulatory process. Furthermore, government regulations can change with little to no notice and may result in up-regulation of our product(s), thereby creating a greater regulatory burden for our cell processing and cell banking technology products.

Employees

We currently have four employees.  We believe that our employee relations are good.

Former Business Operations and Corporate Information

We were incorporated in Nevada on June 13, 1997 under the name “Columbia River Resources Inc.”  We changed our name to “Traxxec Inc.” on August 11, 2008 and later changed our name to “Stem Cell Assurance, Inc.” on June 29, 2009.

Upon our incorporation in June 1997, we engaged in the acquisition, exploration, and development of mining properties worldwide.  We acquired and subsequently abandoned several mining properties in pursuit of other business opportunities.  In November 2007, we acquired Medify Solutions Limited (“Medify”), a corporation incorporated in the United Kingdom that developed and provided mobile health applications and services.  We intended to focus our efforts on Medify’s business, but soon discovered that there was no market for such services.  In February 2008, we acquired Traxxec Limited, a United Kingdom company that was formed to sell radio frequency enabled products and systems; in April 2009, we transferred Traxxec Limited back to its former stockholders.  In April 2009, we acquired Stem Cell Assurance, LLC, a Florida limited liability company seeking to provide stem cell services to adults, which business has since been our focus.

Our executive offices are located at 555 Heritage Drive, Jupiter, Florida 33458, and our telephone number is (561) 904-6070.

Financing

Between November 2010 and March 2011, we raised $1,672,500 in debt financing.  The promissory notes issued pursuant to the financing are payable three months from the respective dates of issuance; however, we have the right to extend the maturity dates of the notes for an additional three months.  During the initial three month period of the notes, the rate of interest will be 10% per annum; during any extension period, the interest rate will be increased to 15% per annum.  We have exercised our option to extend the maturity dates for an aggregate principal amount of $1,347,500 of such notes.  In consideration for the debt financing, an aggregate of 33,450,000 restricted shares of common stock were issued to the lenders.
  
Item 1A.
Risk Factors.

The risk factors listed in this section provide examples of risks, uncertainties and events that may cause our actual results to differ materially from the expectations we describe in our forward-looking statements.  Readers should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in these risk factors could have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operations and financial condition. We undertake no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise.

We have a very limited operating history; we have incurred substantial losses since inception; we expect to continue to incur losses for the near term; we have a substantial working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency; the report of our independent registered public accounting firm contains an explanatory paragraph that expresses substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.

We have a very limited operating history.  Since our inception in 1997, we have incurred net losses.  As of December 31, 2010, we had a working capital deficiency of $997,778 and stockholders’ deficiency of $744,222.  The report of our independent registered public accounting firm with respect to our financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and 2010 and for the years then ended indicates that our financial statements have been prepared assuming that we will continue as a going concern.  The report states that, since we are in the development stage, we have incurred net losses since inception and we need to raise additional funds to meet our obligations, there is substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern.  Our plans in regard to these matters are described in footnote 2 to our financial statements.  Our financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

We will need to obtain additional financing to satisfy debt obligations and continue our operations.

As described in Item 1, between November 2010 and March 2011, we raised an aggregate of $1,672,500 in debt financing.  Such debt, together with accrued interest, will become due and payable during 2011.  Unless we obtain additional financing or the lenders agree to convert their debt into equity or extend the maturity dates of the debt, we will not be able to repay such debt.  Even if we are able to satisfy our debt obligations, our cash balance and the revenues for the foreseeable future from our anticipated operations will not be sufficient to fund the development of our business plan.  Accordingly, we will be required to raise capital from one or more sources.  There is no guarantee that adequate funds will be available when needed from additional debt or equity financing, or from other sources, or on terms attractive to us.  Our inability to obtain sufficient funds in the future would, at a minimum, require us to delay, scale back, or eliminate some or all of our contemplated activities, which could have a substantial negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Our business strategy is high-risk.

We are focusing our resources and efforts primarily on the development of cellular-based services and products which will require extensive cash for research, development and commercialization activities.  This is a high-risk strategy because there is no assurance that our services and products will ever become commercially viable (commercial risk), that we will prevent other companies from depriving us of market share and profit margins by offering services and products based on our inventions and developments (legal risk), that we will successfully manage a company in a new area of business, regenerative medicine, and on a different scale than we have operated in the past (operational risk), that we will be able to achieve the desired therapeutic results using stem and regenerative cells (scientific risk), or that our cash resources will be adequate to develop our services and products until we become profitable, if ever (financial risk).  We are using our cash in one of the riskiest industries in the economy (strategic risk).  This may make our stock an unsuitable investment for many investors.

We do not have any agreements or understandings in place with respect to the manufacture, distribution or sale of our contemplated biological tools products or otherwise with respect to the implementation of our business strategy.

We do not have any agreements or understandings in place with respect to the manufacture, distribution or sale of our contemplated biological tools products, the establishment of our biobanking business or otherwise with respect to the implementation of our business strategy.  No assurances can be given that we will be able to enter into any necessary agreements with respect to the development of our business.  Our inability to enter into any such agreements would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We do not have any agreements, understandings or governmental approvals in place with respect to the establishment of treatment facilities.

Due to regulatory restrictions in the United States, we intend to focus our initial efforts on the establishment of stem cell therapy facilities outside the United States.  We do not have any agreements, understandings or governmental approvals in place with respect to the establishment of any such facilities in any country.  No assurances can be given that we will be able to obtain any required approvals, or enter into necessary agreements, for the establishment and operation of therapy centers.

We depend on our executive officers and on our ability to attract and retain additional qualified personnel.  A pending action against our Vice President of Research and Development may limit our ability to utilize fully his capabilities.

Our performance is substantially dependent on the performance of Mark Weinreb, our Chief Executive Officer.  We rely upon him for strategic business decisions and guidance.  Mr. Weinreb is subject to an employment agreement with us that is scheduled to expire in October 2013.  We are also dependent on the performance of Francisco Silva, our Vice President of Research and Development, in establishing and developing our laboratory business.  Mr. Silva is also subject to an employment agreement with us.  In April 2011, Mr. Silva’s former employer (of which Mr. Silva is a member) obtained a temporary restraining order against Mr. Silva.  Such order restrains and enjoins Mr. Silva and all persons acting in concert or participating with him from, among other things, using or disclosing any of his former employer’s confidential information or trade secrets, or violating certain provisions of the operating agreement of his former employer that provide, among other things, that Mr. Silva shall not, while he is a member of his former employer and for a period of two years thereafter, engage in, or have any interest in, any entity that engages in the business of stem cell research tools and therapeutic applications or otherwise in a business that competes with his former employer’s business in the geographic area in which his former employer conducts business. We are not a party to the action. A hearing on the matter was held on May 10, 2011.  We have been advised by Mr. Silva and his counsel that the enforceability of the noncompetition provision has been and will be challenged.  The court has not yet further ruled on the injunctive relief sought by the former employer and, pending resolution of this matter, Mr. Silva’s ability to provide services to us may be limited.  We believe that our future success in developing marketable services and products and achieving a competitive position will depend in large part upon whether we can attract and retain additional qualified management and scientific personnel.  Competition for such personnel is intense, and there can be no assurance that we will be able to attract and retain such personnel.  The loss of the services of Mr. Weinreb and/or Mr. Silva (or, in the case of Mr. Silva, any significant limitation on his ability  to provide services to us) or the inability to attract and retain additional personnel and develop expertise as needed would have a substantial negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  In addition, if we are named as a defendant in the action against Mr. Silva, we may incur substantial costs and our efforts and attention to the development of our business could be diverted.

We may not be able to protect our proprietary rights.

Our commercial success will depend in large part upon our ability to protect our proprietary rights.  There is no assurance, for example, that any patents issued to us will not become the subject of a re-examination, will provide us with competitive advantages, will not be challenged by any third parties, or that the patents of others will not prevent the commercialization of services and products incorporating our technology.  Furthermore, there can be no guarantee that others will not independently develop similar services and products, duplicate any of our services and products, or design around our patents.

Our commercial success will also depend upon our ability to avoid infringing patents issued to others.  If we were judicially determined to be infringing on any third-party patent, we could be required to pay damages, alter our services, products or processes, obtain licenses, or cease certain activities.  If we are required in the future to obtain any licenses from third parties for some of our services and/or products, there can be no guarantee that we would be able to do so on commercially favorable terms, if at all.  U.S. patent applications are not immediately made public, so we might be surprised by the grant to someone else of a patent on a technology we are actively using.  

 
15

 
Litigation, which would result in substantial costs to us and the diversion of effort on our part, may be necessary to enforce or confirm the ownership of any patents issued or licensed to us, or to determine the scope and validity of third-party proprietary rights.  If our competitors claim technology also claimed by us and prepare and file patent applications in the United States, we may have to participate in interference proceedings declared by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or a foreign patent office to determine priority of invention, which could result in substantial costs to and diversion of effort, even if the eventual outcome is favorable to us.  Any such litigation or interference proceeding, regardless of outcome, could be expensive and time-consuming.

Successful challenges to our patents through oppositions, re-examination proceedings or interference proceedings could result in a loss of patent rights in the relevant jurisdiction. If we are unsuccessful in actions we bring against the patents of other parties, and it is determined that we infringe upon the patents of third-parties, we may be subject to litigation, or otherwise prevented from commercializing potential services and/or products in the relevant jurisdiction, or may be required to obtain licenses to those patents or develop or obtain alternative technologies, any of which could harm our business. Furthermore, if such challenges to our patent rights are not resolved in our favor, we could be delayed or prevented from entering into new collaborations or from commercializing certain services and/or products, which could adversely affect our business and results of operations. 

Furthermore, because of the substantial amount of discovery required in connection with intellectual property litigation, there is a risk that some of our confidential or sensitive information could be compromised by disclosure in the event of litigation. In addition, during the course of litigation there could be public announcements of the results of hearings, motions or other interim proceedings or developments. If securities analysts or investors perceive these results to be negative, it could have a substantial adverse effect on the price of our common stock.

In addition to patents, we intend to also rely on unpatented trade secrets and proprietary technological expertise.  Some of our intended future cell-related therapeutic services and/or products may fit into this category.  We intend to rely, in part, on confidentiality agreements with our partners, employees, advisors, vendors, and consultants to protect our trade secrets and proprietary technological expertise. There can be no guarantee that these agreements will not be breached, or that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our unpatented trade secrets and proprietary technological expertise will not otherwise become known or be independently discovered by competitors.

Failure to obtain or maintain patent protection, failure to protect trade secrets, third-party claims against our patents, trade secrets, or proprietary rights or our involvement in disputes over our patents, trade secrets, or proprietary rights, including involvement in litigation, could divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business and have a substantial negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 
16

 
We may not be able to protect our intellectual property in countries outside of the United States.

Intellectual property law outside the United States is uncertain and, in many countries, is currently undergoing review and revisions.  The laws of some countries do not protect our patent and other intellectual property rights to the same extent as United States laws.   Third parties may attempt to oppose the issuance of patents to us in foreign countries by initiating opposition proceedings. Opposition proceedings against any of our patent filings in a foreign country could have an adverse effect on our corresponding patents that are issued or pending in the United States. It may be necessary or useful for us to participate in proceedings to determine the validity of our patents or our competitors’ patents that have been issued in countries other than the U.S. This could result in substantial costs, divert our efforts and attention from other aspects of our business, and could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

We operate in a highly-regulated environment and may be unable to comply with applicable federal regulations, registrations and approvals. Failure to comply with applicable licensure, registration, and approval standards may result in a loss of licensure, registration, and approval or other government enforcement actions.

The FDA requires facilities that are engaged in the recovery, processing, storage, labeling, packaging, or distribution of human cells, tissues, cellular and tissue-based products (“HCT/Ps”) or in the screening or testing of donors of HCT/Ps to register and list the HCT/Ps that it manufactures, comply with current Good Tissue Practices (“cGTPs”), and other procedures to prevent the introduction, transmission, and spread of communicable diseases. Our Florida-based laboratory, biobanking facility, and any treatment centers we open in the United States may be required to comply with the HCT/P regulations. In addition, any third party retained by us that engages in the manufacture of an HCT/P on our behalf must also comply with the HCT/P regulations. If we or our third-party contractors fail to register, update registration information, or comply with any HCT/P regulation, we will be out of compliance with FDA regulations, which could adversely affect our business. Furthermore, adverse events in the field of stem cell therapy may result in greater governmental regulation, which could create increased expenses, potential delays, or otherwise affect our business.

The FDA also regulates HCT/Ps that are also regulated as drugs, medical devices, and/or biological products in the United States. These products must also comply with the applicable current Good Manufacturing Practices (for drug products), Quality System Regulations (for medical devices), or General Biological Product Standards (for biological products) as set forth in Title 21 of the Code of Federal Regulations. These regulations govern the manufacture, processing, packaging, and holding of the products and include quality control, quality assurance, and maintenance of records and documentation. The FDA conducts inspections to enforce the compliance of these regulations. We and any third-party contractor that manufactures these products on our behalf must comply with the applicable regulations. If we or any third party retained by us that engages in the manufacture of a drug, medical device, or biological product on our behalf fails to comply with the applicable regulations, we will be out of compliance with FDA regulations, which could adversely affect our business.

 
17

 
In addition, the FDA regulates and prescribes good laboratory practices (“GLPs”) for conducting nonclinical laboratory studies that support applications for research or marketing permits for products regulated by the FDA. GLPs provide requirements for organization, personnel, facilities, equipment, testing, facilities operation, test and control articles, protocol for nonclinical laboratory study, records, reports, and disqualification by the FDA to ensure the quality and integrity of the safety data filed in research and marketing permits. Failure to comply with the GLPs could adversely affect our business.

Newly developed medical devices must receive regulatory clearance or approval from the FDA and, in many instances, from non-U.S. and state government, prior to their sale.  The FDA regulates the design/development process, clinical testing, manufacture, safety, labeling, sale, distribution, and promotion of medical devices and drugs under the Federal Food, Drug and Cosmetic Act (“FDCA”).  Included among these regulations are pre-market clearance and pre-market approval requirements, design control requirements, and the Quality System Regulations/Good Manufacturing Practices.  Other statutory and regulatory requirements govern, among other things, establishment registration and inspection, medical device listing, prohibitions against misbranding and adulteration, labeling and post-market reporting. 
 
The regulatory process can be lengthy, expensive, and uncertain.  Before any new medical device may be introduced to the U.S. market, the manufacturer generally must obtain FDA clearance or approval through either the 510(k) pre-market notification process or the lengthier pre-market approval, or PMA, application process.  It generally takes three to 12 months from submission to obtain 510(k) pre-market clearance, although it may take longer.  Approval of a PMA could take four or more years from the time the process is initiated.  The 510(k) and PMA processes can be expensive, uncertain, and lengthy, and there is no guarantee of ultimate clearance or approval.  Securing FDA clearances and approvals may require the submission of extensive clinical data and supporting information to the FDA, and there can be no guarantee of ultimate clearance or approval.  Failure to comply with applicable requirements can result in application integrity proceedings, fines, recalls or seizures of products, injunctions, civil penalties, total or partial suspensions of production, withdrawals of existing product approvals or clearances, refusals to approve or clear new applications or notifications, and criminal prosecution.

Medical devices are also subject to post-market reporting requirements for deaths or serious injuries when the device may have caused or contributed to the death or serious injury, and for certain device malfunctions that would be likely to cause or contribute to a death or serious injury if the malfunction were to recur.  If safety or effectiveness problems occur after our services and/or products reach the market, the FDA may take steps to prevent or limit further marketing of the services and/or products.  Additionally, the FDA actively enforces regulations prohibiting marketing and promotion of devices for indications or uses that have not been cleared or approved by the FDA.

Delays in receipt of or failure to receive necessary clearances or approvals, the loss of previously received clearances or approvals, or failure to comply with existing or future regulatory requirements could have a substantial negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 
18

 
The FDA also regulates cosmetic products. Our Stem Cellutrition™ cosmetic skincare company must comply with FDA regulations for cosmetic products. The FDA prohibits the marketing of adulterated and misbranded cosmetics. Some products are both cosmetics and drugs under the FDCA. These products must satisfy the regulatory requirements of both drugs and cosmetics. Failure to comply with the appropriate regulations could result in a restraining order, seizure, or criminal action, which could have an adverse effect on our business.

The Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) regulates and polices advertising in the United States of medical treatments, procedures, and regimens that take place inside and outside of the United States. FTC regulations are designed to prevent unfair and deceptive practices and false advertising. The FTC requires advertisers and promoters to have a reasonable basis to substantiate and support claims. Failure to sufficiently substantiate and support claims can lead to enforcement action by the FTC, such as a disgorgement order of any profits made from the promoted business or an injunction from further violative promotion. Such enforcement actions could have an adverse effect on our business.

State and local governments impose additional licensing and other requirements for clinical laboratories and facilities that collect, process, and administer stem cells. Our laboratory and any future treatment facilities that we operate in the United States must comply with these additional licensing and other requirements. The licensing regulations require personnel with specific education, experience, training, and other credentials. There can be no assurance that these individuals can be retained or will remain retained or that the cost of retaining such individuals will not materially and adversely affect our ability to operate our business profitably. There can be no assurance that we can obtain the necessary licensure required to conduct business in any state or that the cost of compliance will not adversely affect our ability to operate our business profitably.

The Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services (“CMS”) have authority to implement the Clinical Laboratories Improvement Amendments (“CLIA”) program. When we begin operations in the United States, we will need to comply with the CLIA program standards. CLIA is designed to establish quality laboratory testing by ensuring the accuracy, reliability, and timeliness of patient test results. Laboratories that handle stem cells and other biologic matter are included under the CLIA program. Under the CLIA program, laboratories must be certified by the government, satisfy governmental quality and personnel standards, undergo proficiency testing, be subject to inspections, and pay fees. The failure to comply with CLIA standards could result in suspension, revocation, or limitation of a laboratory’s CLIA certificate. In addition, fines or criminal penalties could also be levied. To the extent that our business activities require CLIA certification, we intend to obtain and maintain such certification. There is no guarantee that we will be able to gain CLIA certification. Failure to gain CLIA certification or comply with the CLIA requirements will adversely affect our business.

There are federal and state laws that govern the protection and security of patients’ personal health information and data. The Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (“HIPAA”) provides federal standards for privacy and security of patients’ personal health information. Once we begin operations in the United States, we will be obligated to comply with HIPAA and state privacy and security standards. As HIPAA is amended and changed, we will incur additional compliance burdens. We may be required to spend substantial time and money to ensure compliance with ever-changing federal and state standards as electronic and other means of transmitting protected health information evolve. Failure to comply with HIPAA standards may subject us to civil money penalties or criminal prosecution. To the extent that our business requires compliance with HIPAA, we intend to fully comply with all requirements.

 
19

 
In addition to the above-described regulation by United States federal and state government, the following are other federal and state laws and regulations that could directly or indirectly affect our ability to operate the business:

·  
state and local licensure, registration, and regulation of the development of pharmaceuticals and biologics;

·  
state and local licensure of medical professionals;

·  
state statutes and regulations related to the corporate practice of medicine;

·  
laws and regulations administered by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (“CBP”) related to the importation of biological material into the United States;

·  
other laws and regulations administered by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration;

·  
other laws and regulations administered by the U. S. Department of Health and Human Services;

·  
state and local laws and regulations governing human subject research and clinical trials;

·  
the federal physician self-referral prohibition, also known as Stark Law, and any state equivalents to Stark Law;

·  
the Medicare and Medicaid Anti-Kickback Law and any state equivalent statutes and regulations;

·  
Federal and state coverage and reimbursement laws and regulations;

·  
state and local laws and regulations for the disposal and handling of medical waste and biohazardous material;

·  
Occupational Safety and Health (“OSHA”) regulations and requirements; and

 
20

 
 
·  
the Intermediate Sanctions rules of the IRS providing for potential financial sanctions with respect to “Excess Benefit Transactions” with HUMC or other tax-exempt organizations.

We intend to begin our initial operations in foreign jurisdictions. We will need to comply with the government regulations of each individual country in which our therapy centers are located and products are to be distributed and sold. These regulations vary in complexity and can be as stringent, and on occasion even more stringent, than FDA regulations in the United States.  Due to the fact that there are new and emerging cell therapy and cell banking regulations that have recently been drafted and/or implemented in various countries around the world, the application and subsequent implementation of these new and emerging regulations have little to no precedence. Therefore, the level of complexity and stringency is not always precisely understood today for each country, creating greater uncertainty for the international regulatory process. Furthermore, government regulations can change with little to no notice and may result in up-regulation of our product(s), thereby creating a greater regulatory burden for our cell processing and cell banking technology products. We have not yet thoroughly explored the applicable laws and regulations that we will need to comply with in foreign jurisdictions. It is possible that we may not be permitted to expand our business into one or more foreign jurisdictions.

We intend to conduct our business in full compliance with all applicable federal, state and local, and foreign laws and regulations. However, the laws and regulations affecting our business are complex and often are not contemplated by existing legal régimes. As a result, the laws and regulations affecting our business are uncertain and have not been the subject of judicial or regulatory interpretation. Furthermore, stem cells and cell therapy are topics of interest in the government and public arenas. There can be no guarantee that laws and regulations will not be implemented, amended and/or reinterpreted in a way that will negatively affect our business.

To operate and sell in international markets carries great risk.

We intend to market our services and products both domestically and in foreign markets.  A number of risks are inherent in international transactions.  In order for us to service and market our products in non-U.S. jurisdictions, we need to obtain and maintain required regulatory approvals or clearances and must comply with extensive regulations regarding safety, manufacturing processes and quality.  These regulations, including the requirements for approvals or clearances to market, may differ from the FDA regulatory scheme.  International operations and sales also may be limited or disrupted by political instability, price controls, trade restrictions and changes in tariffs.  Additionally, fluctuations in currency exchange rates may adversely affect demand for our services and products by increasing the price of our services and products in the currency of the countries in which the services and products are offered.

There can be no assurance that we will obtain regulatory approvals or clearances in all of the countries where we intend to market our services and products, or that we will not incur significant costs in obtaining or maintaining foreign regulatory approvals or clearances, or that we will be able to successfully commercialize our services and products in various foreign markets.  Delays in receipt of approvals or clearances to market our services and products in foreign countries, failure to receive such approvals or clearances or the future loss of previously received approvals or clearances could have a substantial negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

 
21

 
Changing, new and/or emerging government regulations may adversely affect our business.

Government regulations can change without notice.  Due to the fact that there are new and emerging cell therapy and cell banking regulations that have recently been drafted and/or implemented in various countries around the world, the application and subsequent implementation of these new and emerging regulations have little to no precedence. Therefore, the level of complexity and stringency is not known and may vary from country to country, creating greater uncertainty for the international regulatory process.
 
Anticipated or unanticipated changes in the way or manner in which the FDA regulates services and products or classes/groups of services and products can delay, further burden, or alleviate regulatory pathways that were once available to other services and products.  There are no guarantees that such changes in FDA’s approach to the regulatory process will not deleteriously affect our contemplated operations.

Despite our anticipation that the majority of our cellular-based procedures will be private-pay, our inability to obtain reimbursement for our therapies from private and governmental insurers could negatively impact demand for our services.

Successful sales of health care services and products generally depends, in part, upon the availability and amounts of reimbursement from third party healthcare payor organizations, including government agencies, private healthcare insurers and other healthcare payors, such as health maintenance organizations and self-insured employee plans. Uncertainty exists as to the availability of reimbursement for such new therapies as stem cell-based therapies. There can be no assurance that such reimbursement will be available in the future at all or without substantial delay or, if such reimbursement is provided, that the approved reimbursement amounts will be sufficient to support demand for our services and products at a level that will be profitable.

If safety problems are encountered by us or others developing new stem cell-based therapies, our stem cell initiatives could be materially and adversely affected.

The use of stem cells for therapeutic indications is still in the very early stages of development. If an adverse event occurs during clinical trials related to one of our proposed services and/or products or those of others, the FDA and other regulatory authorities may halt clinical trials or require additional studies. The occurrence of any of these events would delay, and increase the cost of, our development efforts and may render the commercialization of our proposed services and/or products impractical or impossible.

Ethical and other concerns surrounding the use of stem cell therapy may negatively impact the public perception of our stem cell services, thereby suppressing demand for our services.

Although our contemplated stem cell business pertains to adult stem cells only, and does not involve the more controversial use of embryonic stem cells, the use of adult human stem cells for therapy could give rise to similar ethical, legal and social issues as those associated with embryonic stem cells, which could adversely affect its acceptance by consumers and medical practitioners.  Additionally, it is possible that our business could be negatively impacted by any stigma associated with the use of embryonic stem cells if the public fails to appreciate the distinction between adult and embryonic stem cells.  Delays in achieving public acceptance may materially and adversely affect the results of our operations and profitability.

 
22

 
We are vulnerable to competition and technological change, and also to physicians’ inertia.

We will compete with many domestic and foreign companies in developing our technology and products, including biotechnology, medical device and pharmaceutical companies.  Many current and potential competitors have substantially greater financial, technological, research and development, marketing, and personnel resources.  There is no assurance that our competitors will not succeed in developing alternative services and/or products that are more effective, easier to use, or more economical than those which we may develop, or that would render our services and/or products obsolete and non-competitive.  In general, we may not be able to prevent others from developing and marketing competitive services and/or products similar to ours or which perform similar functions or which are marketed before ours.

Competitors may have greater experience in developing therapies or devices, conducting clinical trials, obtaining regulatory clearances or approvals, manufacturing and commercialization.  It is possible that competitors may obtain patent protection, approval, or clearance from the FDA or achieve commercialization earlier than we can, any of which could have a substantial negative effect on our business.  

We will compete against cell-based therapies derived from alternate sources, such as bone marrow, umbilical cord blood and potentially embryos.  Doctors historically are slow to adopt new technologies like ours, whatever the merits, when older technologies continue to be supported by established providers.  Overcoming such inertia often requires very significant marketing expenditures or definitive product performance and/or pricing superiority.

We expect that physicians’ inertia and skepticism will also be a significant barrier as we attempt to gain market penetration with our future services and products. We may need to finance lengthy time-consuming clinical studies (so as to provide convincing evidence of the medical benefit) in order to overcome this inertia and skepticism particularly in reconstructive surgery, cell preservation, the cardiovascular area and many other indications.

Most potential applications of our technology are pre-commercialization, which subjects us to development and marketing risks.

We are in an early stage on the path to commercialization with many of our services and products.  We believe that our long-term viability and growth will depend in large part on our ability to develop commercial quality cell processing devices and useful procedure-specific consumables, and to establish the safety and efficacy of our therapies through clinical trials and studies.  There is no assurance that our development programs will be successfully completed or that required regulatory clearances or approvals will be obtained on a timely basis, if at all.

 
23

 
Successful development and market acceptance of our services and products will be subject to developmental risks, including failure of inventive imagination, ineffectiveness, lack of safety, unreliability, failure to receive necessary regulatory clearances or approvals, high commercial cost, preclusion or obsolescence resulting from third parties’ proprietary rights or superior or equivalent services and products, competition from copycat services and products, and general economic conditions affecting purchasing patterns.  There is no assurance that we will successfully develop and commercialize our services and products, or that our competitors will not develop competing technologies that are less expensive or superior.  Failure to successfully develop and market our services and products would have a substantial negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.

Future clinical trial results may differ significantly from our expectations.

In the event that we undertake clinical trials, we cannot guarantee that we will not experience negative results.  Poor results in our clinical trials could result in substantial delays in commercialization, substantial negative effects on the perception of our services and products, and substantial additional costs. These risks may be increased by our reliance on third parties in the performance of many of the clinical trial functions, including clinical investigators, hospitals, and other third party service providers.
 
Continued turmoil in the economy could harm our business.
 
Negative trends in the general economy, including, but not limited to, trends resulting from an actual or perceived recession, tightening credit markets, increased cost of commodities, actual or threatened military action by the United States and threats of terrorist attacks in the United States and abroad, could cause a reduction of investment in and available funding for companies in certain industries, including ours.  Our ability to raise capital has been and may in the future be adversely affected by downturns in current credit conditions, financial markets and the global economy.
 
We may not have enough product liability insurance.

The testing, manufacturing, marketing, and sale of our regenerative cell services and products will involve an inherent risk that product liability claims will be asserted against us, our distribution partners, or licensees.  There can be no guarantee that our clinical trial and commercial product liability insurance will be adequate or will continue to be available in sufficient amounts or at an acceptable cost, if at all.  A product liability claim, product recall, or other claim, as well as any claims for uninsured liabilities or in excess of insured liabilities, could have a substantial negative effect on our results of operations and financial condition.  Also, well-publicized claims could cause our stock to fall sharply, even before the merits of the claims are decided by a court.

We have identified certain material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which could affect the ability of investors to rely on our financial statements.
 
We have identified certain material weaknesses in the design or operation of internal control over financial reporting which could adversely affect our ability to record, process, summarize, and report financial data.  The material weaknesses relate to our failure to maintain a fully integrated financial consolidation and reporting system throughout the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010, our inability to properly apply highly specialized accounting principles to, and adequately disclose, complex transactions and our limited segregation of duties. We did not maintain a fully integrated financial consolidation and reporting system throughout the years ended December 31, 2009 and 2010 and, as a result, extensive manual analysis, reconciliation and adjustments were required in order to produce financial statements for external reporting purposes.  We lack adequately trained accounting personnel with appropriate United States generally accepted accounting principles (US GAAP) expertise for complex transactions.  We do not currently have a sufficient complement of technical accounting and external reporting personnel commensurate to support standalone external financial reporting requirements.  Specifically, we did not effectively segregate certain accounting duties due to the small size of our accounting staff or maintain a sufficient number of adequately trained personnel necessary to anticipate and identify risks critical to financial reporting and the closing process.  In addition, there were inadequate reviews and approvals by our personnel of certain reconciliations and other processes in day-to-day operations due to the lack of a full complement of accounting staff.  Subsequent to December 31, 2010, we engaged an outside consultant to assist in the financial function, which has increased the resources devoted to performing certain procedures.  Notwithstanding the foregoing weaknesses, we believe that our audited financial statements as of December 31, 2009 and 2010 and for the years then ended fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition as of such dates and our results of operations for such years.

We pay no dividends.

We have never paid cash dividends in the past, and currently do not intend to pay any cash dividends in the foreseeable future.

There is, at present, only a limited market for our common stock and there is no assurance that an active trading market for our common stock will develop.

Although our common stock is quoted on the OTC Pink Sheets from time to time, and we intend to have our common stock quoted on the OTCQB or the OTC Bulletin Board, the market for our common stock is extremely limited.  In addition, although there have been market makers in our securities on the OTC Pink Sheets, we cannot assure that these market makers will continue to make a market in our securities or that other factors outside of our control will not cause them to stop market making in our securities.  Making a market in securities involves maintaining bid and ask quotations and being able to effect transactions in reasonable quantities at those quoted prices, subject to various securities laws and other regulatory requirements. Furthermore, the development and maintenance of a public trading market depends upon the existence of willing buyers and sellers, the presence of which is not within our control or that of any market maker. Market makers are not required to maintain a continuous two-sided market, are required to honor firm quotations for only a limited number of shares, and are free to withdraw firm quotations at any time. Even with a market maker, factors such as our past losses from operations and the small size of our company mean that there can be no assurance of an active and liquid market for our securities developing in the foreseeable future. Even if a market develops, we cannot assure that a market will continue, or that shareholders will be able to resell their securities at any price.

 
25

 
Since our common stock is classified as “penny stock,” the restrictions of the SEC’s penny stock regulations may result in less liquidity for our common stock.
 
The SEC has adopted regulations which define a “penny stock” to be any equity security that has a market price (as therein defined) of less than $5.00 per share or an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share, subject to certain exceptions.  For any transactions involving a penny stock, unless exempt, the rules require the delivery, prior to any transaction involving a penny stock by a retail customer, of a disclosure schedule prepared by the SEC relating to the penny stock market.  Disclosure is also required to be made about commissions payable to both the broker/dealer and the registered representative and current quotations for the securities.  Finally, monthly statements are required to be sent disclosing recent price information for the penny stock held in the account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.  Because the market price for shares of our common stock is less than $5.00, and we do not satisfy any of the exceptions to the SEC’s definition of penny stock, our common stock is classified as a penny stock.  As a result of the penny stock restrictions, brokers or potential investors may be reluctant to trade in our securities, which may result in less liquidity for our common stock.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
 
            The following discussion of results of operations and financial condition is based upon, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes thereto, included elsewhere in this Registration Statement following Item 15. This discussion contains forward-looking statements. Actual results could differ materially from the results discussed in the forward-looking statements.  Reference is made to “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” for a discussion of some of the uncertainties, risks and assumptions associated with these statements.

Overview

Our goal is to become a medical center of excellence using cell and tissue regenerative therapy protocols, primarily involving a patient’s own (autologous) adult stem cells (non-embryonic) allowing patients to undergo cellular-based treatments. As more and more cellular therapies become standard of care, we intend to focus on the unity of medical and scientific explanations for future clinical procedures and outcomes and the provision of adult stem cells for future personal medical applications.
 
We intend to enter into the biological tool market by developing a product portfolio targeted to meet the demands of the large pharmaceutical companies’ drug discovery and development platforms.  We currently are developing an infrastructure to establish a laboratory capable of producing a wide range of biological tools.
 
We are a development stage enterprise. Our primary activities in the stem cell area have been the development of our business plan, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements and raising capital. We have not commenced our principal operations, nor have we generated any revenues.
 
Since inception, we have incurred substantial losses. As at December 31, 2010 and 2009, our accumulated deficit was $3,450,561 and $1,186,762, respectively, our stockholders’ deficiency was $744,222 and $51,087, respectively, and our working capital deficiency was $997,778 and $145,038, respectively.  We have not yet generated revenues and our losses have principally been operating expenses incurred in development, marketing and promotional activities in order to commercialize our products and services.  We expect to continue to incur substantial costs for development, marketing and promotional activities over at least the next year.
 
Based upon our working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2010 and the lack of any revenues, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations.  Subsequent to December 31, 2010 and during the three months ended March 31, 2011, we received aggregate debt financing of $1,437,500.  As a result, we expect that the cash we have available will fund our operations only through July 2011 (at which time a substantial portion of our debt obligations will become due).  We are currently considering several different financing alternatives to support our operations thereafter. If we are unable to obtain such additional financing on a timely basis and, notwithstanding any request we may make, our debt holders do not agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes, we may have to curtail our development, marketing and promotions activities, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations, and ultimately we could be forced to discontinue our operations and liquidate.  See “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

Year Ended December 31, 2010 compared with Year Ended December 31, 2009

Marketing and promotion expenses

Marketing and promotion expenses include advertising and promotion, marketing and seminars, meals, and entertainment and travel expenses.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, marketing and promotion expenses increased by $45,578, or 57%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in advertising expenses ($50,908) and an increase in seminar expenses ($50,306), which arose due to an increase in promotional activities in conjunction with the commercialization of our products and services, offset by a decrease in promotion and marketing expenses ($55,636).  We formulated our marketing program at the same time we received adequate funding in the fourth quarter of 2009.
 
We expect that marketing and promotion expenses will continue to increase in the future as we increase our marketing activities following full commercialization of our products and services.

Payroll and benefits

Payroll and benefits consist primarily of salaries and stock-based compensation to employees.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, payroll and benefits amounted to $918,574 primarily due to stock-based compensation to employees of $583,685 and increased personnel costs to senior management.  We did not have any employees during the year ended December 31, 2009.

Consulting expenses

Consulting expenses consist of consulting fees and stock-based compensation to consultants.  For the year ended December 31, 2010, consulting expenses decreased $332,536, or 39%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2009.  The decrease resulted primarily from the increased use by us of employees rather than consultants during 2010.

 
28

 
General and administrative expenses

General and administrative expenses consist primarily of corporate support expenses such as legal and professional fees, investor relations and telecommunications expenses. For the year ended December 31, 2010, general and administrative expenses increased $262,270, or 115%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase resulted primarily from an increase in professional fees and other expenses of approximately $140,000.
 
We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase as we expand our staff, develop our infrastructure and incur additional costs to support the growth in our business.

Research and development expenses

Research and development expenses consist primarily of costs incurred in the development of our process and equipment to extract adult stem cells from adipose tissue and the implantation of those cells and tissue for cosmetic therapies. Research and development expenses are expensed as they are incurred. For the year ended December 31, 2010, research and development expenses amounted to $11,620. No research and development expenses were incurred for the year ended December 31, 2009.
 
We believe that a substantial investment in research and development is essential in the long term to remain competitive. Accordingly, we expect our research and development expenses to increase as we grow.

Other income

Other income represents primarily income from the sale of our sample cosmetic products for testing purposes at trade shows. For the year ended December 31, 2010, other income increased by $11,407, or 45,626%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase resulted primarily from the fact that there were no trade shows in 2009 and therefore virtually no sales of our sample cosmetic products in that period.

Interest expense

For the year ended December 31, 2010, interest expense increased $172,574, or 518%, as compared to the year ended December 31, 2009. The increase was mostly due to an increase in short-term borrowings and increase in amortization of debt discount, classified as interest expense in 2010.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We measure our liquidity in a number of ways, including the following:

 
29

 


   
December 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Cash
  $ 18,074     $ 42  
Working Capital Deficiency
  $ (997,778 )   $ (145,038 )
Notes Payable (Current)
  $ 514,047     $ 116,151  

From inception through December 31, 2010, we raised a total of $580,000 from the issuance of notes payable and $690,675 from the sale of common stock and warrants. As of December 31, 2010, we had $18,074 in unrestricted cash, and a working capital deficiency of $917,778. Subsequent to December 31, 2010 and during the three months ended March 31, 2011, we secured additional debt financing of $1,437,500.
 
Net Cash Used in Operating Activities

We experienced negative cash flow from operating activities for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 in the amounts of $729,218 and $203,080, respectively. The cash used in operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2010 was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $2,263,799, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to depreciation, amortization of debt discount, and stock-based compensation in the aggregate amount of $1,125,705 as well as a change in accounts payable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities of $402,926. The cash used in operating activities in the year ended December 31, 2009 was due to cash used to fund a net loss of $1,197,126, adjusted for non-cash expenses related to depreciation, amortization of debt discount, and stock-based compensation in the aggregate amount of $965,117. The net increase in cash used in the year ended December 31, 2010 compared to 2009 was driven primarily by the increase in the net loss from $1,197,126 to $2,263,799.
 
Net Cash Used in Investing Activities

We used $48,784 during the year ended December 31, 2010, and $100,363 during the year ended December 31, 2009 to acquire property and equipment and intangibles. The cash used in the year ended December 31, 2010 includes the cost of medical equipment ($23,060) and furniture and fixtures ($22,323). The cash used in the year ended December 31, 2009 includes the cost of medical equipment ($95,240) and furniture and fixtures ($4,888).

Net Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2010 was $796,034.  During such year, we sold an aggregate of 82,500,000 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $666,300, and a warrant for the purchase of 125,000 shares of common stock was exercised for an exercise price of $1,875.  In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2010, we received $332,654 pursuant to debt financings.  During such year, we also repurchased an aggregate of 27,931,034 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $32,000.
 
Cash provided by financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2009 was $303,485.  During such year, we sold an aggregate of 945,000 shares of common stock for a total purchase price of $25,000.  In addition, during the year ended December 31, 2009, we received $278,485 pursuant to debt financings.

 
30

 
Availability of Additional Funds

Based upon our working capital deficiency as of December 31, 2010 and the lack of any revenues, we require equity and/or debt financing to continue our operations.  Subsequent to December 31, 2010 and during the three months ended March 31, 2011, we received aggregate debt financing of $1,437,500.  As a result, we believe that the cash we have available will fund our operations only through July 2011 (at which time a substantial portion of our debt obligations will become due).  Thereafter, we will need to raise further capital, through the sale of additional equity securities or otherwise, to support our future operations and to repay our debt (unless, if requested, the debt holders agree to convert their notes into equity or extend the maturity dates of their notes).  Our operating needs include the planned costs to operate our business, including amounts required to fund working capital and capital expenditures. At the present time, we have commitments for capital expenditures totaling approximately $20,000, representing the furniture and fixtures to be used in our Jupiter, Florida office. Our future capital requirements and the adequacy of our available funds will depend on many factors, including our ability to successfully commercialize our products and services, competing technological and market developments, and the need to enter into collaborations with other companies or acquire other companies or technologies to enhance or complement our product and service offerings.
 
We may be unable to raise sufficient additional capital when we need it or to raise capital on favorable terms. Debt financing may require us to pledge certain assets and enter into covenants that could restrict certain business activities or our ability to incur further indebtedness, and may contain other terms that are not favorable to our stockholders or us. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on reasonable terms, we may be required to significantly curtail or discontinue operations or to obtain funds by entering into financing agreements on unattractive terms.
 
These conditions raise substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern. Our consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Registration Statement following Item 15 have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate our continuation as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values.  The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. Our significant estimates and assumptions include depreciation and the fair value of our stock, stock-based compensation, debt discount and deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance.
 
 
31

 
Deferred Tax Valuation Allowance

We believe significant uncertainties exist regarding the future realization of deferred tax assets, and, accordingly, a full valuation allowance has been established. In subsequent periods, if and when we generate pre-tax income, a tax expense will not be recorded to the extent that the remaining valuation allowance can be used to offset that expense. Once a consistent pattern of pre-tax income is established or other events occur that indicate that the deferred tax assets will be realized, some or all of the existing valuation allowance will be reversed back to income. Should we generate pre-tax losses in subsequent periods, a tax benefit will not be recorded and the valuation allowance will be increased.
 
Stock-Based Compensation

We measure the fair value of all stock options to employees and directors on grant date, and record the fair value of these awards as compensation expense over the service period. The fair value of options is estimated using the Black-Scholes valuation model and is based on the Company’s weighted share price on the measurement date. Amounts expensed with respect to options were approximately $895,608 and $929,717 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
 
Since our shares are not currently publicly traded, the fair value of our equity instruments was estimated using a share price derived from the quarterly rolling weighted average cash price paid to us for the purchase of shares of common stock.
 
The weighted-average grant date fair value per share of options awarded in the year ended December 31, 2010 and period ended December 31, 2009 were $0.0081 and S0.00 respectively.  These fair values were estimated using the following assumptions:

   
Year Ended December 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
             
Risk-free interest rate
    1.93 %     -  
Expected term
 
5 years
      -  
Expected volatility
    207 %     -  
Dividend yield
    0 %     -  

Risk-Free Interest Rate . This is the United States Treasury rate for the day of the grant having a term equal to the expected term of the option. An increase in the risk-free interest rate will increase the fair value and the related compensation expense.
 
Expected Term. This is the period of time over which the award is expected to remain outstanding.  The expected term of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2010 was calculated using the simplified method set out in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin, No. 107, as amended by No. 110, using the vesting period set forth in the option agreements and the expected contractual term of 10 years. The simplified method defines the expected term as the average of the contractual term and vesting period. An increase in the expected term will increase the fair value and the related compensation expense.
 
 
32

 
Expected Volatility. This is a measure of the amount by which our share price has fluctuated or is expected to fluctuate. Since we are a Pink Sheet company and our stock is not widely publicly traded, we use the average of the historic volatility of comparative companies. An increase in the expected volatility will increase the fair value and the related compensation expense.
 
Dividend Yield. We have not made any dividend payment nor do we have plans to pay dividends in the foreseeable future. An increase in the dividend yield will decrease the fair value and the related compensation expense.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Reference is made to the “Recent Accounting Pronouncements” in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Registration Statement following Item 15 for information related to the adoption of new accounting standards in 2010, none of which had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements, and the future adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements, which we do not expect will have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

None.

Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Not applicable.

Item 3.
Properties.
 
Our principal executive offices and laboratory are located at 555 Heritage Drive, Jupiter, Florida.  We occupy the premises pursuant to a three year lease that expires on January 31, 2014 and provides for a base monthly rent of $6,052 for the initial year, $6,234 during the second year and $6,422 during the third year; however, pursuant to the lease, no base rent is payable during the initial year.
 
Pursuant to the lease, we are responsible for our share of operating expenses (as defined in the lease), and we have the right to extend the term of the lease for a period of three years at a rent equal to the market rate (as defined in the lease).

Our Articles of Incorporation, as amended (“Articles”), authorize the issuance of 800,000,000 shares of common stock, par value $.001 per share, and 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock, par value $.01 per share.  As of April 26, 2011, there were 515,029,911 shares of common stock issued and outstanding, and no shares of preferred stock outstanding.  

The description of our securities is a summary and is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of our Articles and Amended and Restated Corporate Bylaws (the “Bylaws”), copies of which have been filed as exhibits to this Registration Statement.

Description of Common Stock
 
Except as otherwise required by law, each share of common stock entitles the stockholder to one vote on each matter that stockholders may vote on at all meetings of stockholders.  Holders of common stock are not entitled to cumulate votes in the election of directors.  Holders of common stock do not have preemptive, subscription or conversion rights, and there are no redemption or sinking fund provisions applicable thereto.  Subject to any prior rights of the preferred stock, holders of common stock are entitled to share ratably in dividends paid from the funds legally available for the payment thereof, when, as and if declared by our Board.   The declaration of dividends, however, is subject to the discretion of our Board. Subject to any prior rights of the preferred stock, holders of common stock are also entitled to share ratably in the assets of our company available for distribution to holders of common stock after payment of our liabilities upon the liquidation or dissolution of our company, whether voluntary or involuntary.
 
Description of Preferred Stock
 
Our Board is authorized to fix and determine the designations, rights, preferences or other variations of each particular class or series of our preferred stock.
 
Provisions that May Delay, Defer or Prevent a Change of Control
 
We have determined that Sections 378 through 3793 of Chapter 78 of the Nevada Revised Statutes (“NRS”) (“Acquisition of Controlling Interest”) do not apply to us because we do not currently meet the definition of “issuing corporation” contained therein.
 
In addition to any provisions set forth in the NRS that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control, our Articles and Bylaws contain the following provisions that may delay, defer or prevent a change of control:
 
Our Board has the authority to issue up to 800,000,000 shares of common stock and up to 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and to determine the rights, preferences and privileges of the shares of preferred stock, without stockholder approval.
 
Nominations of persons for election to our Board and the proposal of business to be considered by the stockholders may be made at a meeting of stockholders (1) pursuant to our notice of meeting delivered pursuant to our Bylaws, (2) by or at the direction of our Board, (3) by any committee or person appointed by our Board or (4) by any stockholder who is entitled to vote at the meeting, who complied with the notice procedures set forth in our Bylaws and who was a stockholder of record at the time such notice was delivered to our Secretary.
 
The notice procedures in our Bylaws include a requirement that the proposing stockholder must have given timely notice thereof in writing to our Secretary, and such other business must otherwise be a proper matter for stockholder action. To be timely with respect to an annual meeting, a stockholder’s notice shall be delivered to our Secretary at our principal executive offices not less than 60 days prior to the scheduled date of the meeting; provided, however, that if no notice is given and no public announcement is made to the stockholders regarding the date of the meeting at least 75 days prior to the meeting, the stockholder’s notice shall be valid if delivered to or mailed and received by our Secretary at our principal executive office not less than 15 days following the day on which the notice or public announcement of the date of the meeting was given or made.
 
 
46

 
In addition, any such stockholder’s notice must set forth (1) as to each person whom the stockholder proposes to nominate for election or reelection as a director, (a) the name, age, business address and residential address of the person, (b) the principal occupation or employment of the person (c) the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by the person, (d) the written consent by the person, agreeing to serve as a director if elected, (e) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the person and the stockholder regarding the nomination, (f) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the person and any other person or persons (naming such persons) regarding the nomination, (g) all information relating to the person that is required to be disclosed in solicitations for proxies for election of directors pursuant to Rule 14a under the Exchange Act, and (h) such other information as we may reasonably request to determine the eligibility of such proposed nominee to serve as a director; (2) as to any other business that the stockholder proposes to bring before the meeting, (a) a brief description of the business desired to be brought before the meeting, the reasons for conducting such business at the meeting and, in the event that such business includes a proposal to amend either the Articles or the Bylaws, the language of the proposed amendment, (b) the name and address, as they appear on our books, of the stockholder proposing such business, (c) the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder, and (d) any material interest (financial or otherwise) of such stockholder in such business; and (3) as to the stockholder giving the notice (a) the name, business address and residential address of the stockholder giving the notice, (b) the class and number of shares of our capital stock that are beneficially owned by such stockholder, (c) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and the nominee regarding the nomination, and (d) a description of all arrangements or understandings between the stockholder and any other person or persons (naming such persons) regarding the nomination.

Item 12.                      Indemnification of Directors and Officers
  
Our Articles provide that no director or officer shall be liable to us or to our stockholders for monetary damages for breach of fiduciary duty as a director or an officer, except to the extent that such exemption from liability or limitation thereof is not permitted under the NRS currently in effect or as the same may be amended.  Under the NRS, the directors have a fiduciary duty to us that is not eliminated by this provision of the Articles and, in appropriate circumstances, equitable remedies such as injunctive or other forms of non-monetary relief will remain available.  In addition, each director will continue to be subject to liability under the NRS for breach of the director’s duty of loyalty to us for acts or omissions which are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to not be in good faith or involve intentional misconduct, for knowing violations of law, for actions leading to improper personal benefit to the director, and for payment of dividends or approval of stock repurchases or redemptions that are prohibited by the NRS. This provision also does not affect the directors’ responsibilities under any other laws, such as the federal securities laws or state or federal environmental laws.
 
 
47

 
The NRS provides that a corporation may, and our Articles and Bylaws provide that we shall, indemnify any person who was or is a party or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative or investigative (an “Action”), by reason of the fact that he is or was a director, officer, employee or agent of the corporation or is or was serving at the request of the corporation in such capacity in another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise (the “Indemnified Party”), against expenses (including attorney’s fees), judgments, fines and amounts paid in settlement actually and reasonably incurred by him in connection with such action, suit or proceeding if he acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the corporation, and, with respect to any criminal action or proceeding, had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful; provided, however, no indemnification shall be made in respect of any action or suit by or in the right of the corporation if the Indemnified Party shall have been adjudged to be liable to the corporation, unless and only to the extent that the court shall determine that, despite the adjudication of liability but in view of all circumstances, such person is fairly and reasonably entitled to indemnity.  Furthermore, the NRS provides that determination of an Indemnified Party’s eligibility for indemnification by us shall be made on a case-by-case basis by: (i) the stockholders; (ii) the board of directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding; (iii) if a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding so orders, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion; or (iv) if a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to the act, suit or proceeding cannot be obtained, by independent legal counsel in a written opinion.
  
In addition, the NRS and our Bylaws provide that the allowed indemnification will not be deemed exclusive of any other rights to which directors, officers and others may be entitled under our Bylaws, any agreement, a vote of stockholders or otherwise, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee or agent and inure to the benefit of such person’s heirs, executors and administrators.

Lastly, the NRS empowers a corporation to purchase insurance and make other financial arrangements with respect to liability arising out of the actions or omissions of directors, officers, employees or agents in their capacity or status as such.  On February, 1, 2011, we obtained a Directors & Officers Insurance Policy with aggregate coverage of up to $3,000,000.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 
To the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors
  and Stockholders of Stem Cell Assurance, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Stem Cell Assurance, Inc. and Subsidiaries (the “Company”) (a company in the development stage) as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the related consolidated statements of operations, changes in stockholders’ deficiency and cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from December 30, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2010. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting.  Our audits included consideration of internal control over financial reporting as a basis for designing audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Stem Cell Assurance, Inc. and Subsidiaries as of December 31, 2010 and 2009, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for the years then ended and for the period from December 30, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2010, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern.  As more fully discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company is in the development stage, has incurred net losses since inception and needs to raise additional funds to meet its obligations and sustain its operations.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  Management’s plans in regard to these matters are described in Note 2.  The consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

1.  
Business Organization and Nature of Operations
 
On April 17, 2009, Stem Cell Assurance, LLC (“SCA, LLC”) completed a transaction with Traxxec, Inc. (“Traxxec”), a company incorporated on June 13, 1997 under the laws of the state of Nevada under the name “Columbia River Resources Inc.”  Pursuant to the agreement, SCA, LLC was converted into Traxxec, Inc. and the former members of SCA, LLC were issued approximately 302,000,000 shares, or approximately 75% of the outstanding shares of common stock of Traxxec, Inc.  In addition, on April 17, 2009, pursuant to the agreement, an additional 60,000,000 shares were issued to a shareholder of Traxxec.  Traxxec was a non-operating shell company, was authorized to issue 1,000,000 shares of preferred stock and 500,000,000 shares of common stock.  On the date of the transaction, Traxxec had 0 shares of preferred stock and 40,403,621 shares of common stock issued and outstanding.  The transaction was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, whereby SCA, LLC is deemed to be the acquirer for accounting purposes.  The net assets received in the transaction were recorded at historical costs.  On August 17, 2009, Traxxec, Inc. changed its name to Stem Cell Assurance, Inc. (the “Company”).  The consolidated financial statements set forth in this report for all periods prior to the reverse recapitalization are the historical financial statements of SCA, LLC and have been retroactively restated to give effect to the transaction.  The operations of SCA, LLC from December 30, 2008 (inception) to the date of the transaction have been included in operations.
 
The Company has been presented as a "development stage enterprise”. The Company’s primary activities since inception have been the research and development of its business plan, negotiating strategic alliances and other agreements, and raising capital.  The Company has not commenced its principal operations, nor has it generated any revenues from its operations. 
 
The Company intends to enter into the biological product tool market by developing a product portfolio targeted to meet the demands of the large pharmaceutical companies’ drug discovery and development platforms.  The Company currently is developing an infrastructure to establish a laboratory capable of producing a wide range of biological tools.
 
The Company intends to use cell and tissue regenerative therapy protocols, primarily involving a patient’s own (autologous) adult stem cells (non-embryonic), to allow patients to undergo cellular-based treatments. As more and more cellular therapies become standard of care, the Company intends to incorporate adult stem cell collection and storage services for future personal medical applications.  The Company also operates a wholly-owned subsidiary, Stem Cellutrition™, LLC, which plans to offer and sell facial creams and products, and Lipo Rejuvenation Centers, Inc, which is inactive.

2.  
Going Concern and Management Plans
 
The Company's primary source of operating funds since inception has been its stockholders and note financings.  The Company intends to raise additional capital through private debt and equity investors. The Company is currently a development stage enterprise and there is no assurance that these funds will be sufficient to enable the Company to fully complete its development activities or attain profitable operations. 
 
As of December 31, 2010, the Company had a working capital deficiency and a stockholders’ deficiency of $997,778 and $744,222, respectively.  The Company has not generated any revenues and incurred net losses of $3,460,925 during the period from December 30, 2008 (Inception) through December 31, 2010.  These conditions raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, which contemplate continuation of the Company as a going concern and the realization of assets and satisfaction of liabilities in the normal course of business.  The carrying amounts of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statements do not necessarily purport to represent realizable or settlement values.  The financial statements do not include any adjustment that might result from the outcome of this uncertainty.
 
Subsequent to December 31, 2010, the Company secured additional debt financing of $1,437,500.   See Note 11.
 
3.  
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
 
Principles of Consolidation
 
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of Stem Cellutrition, LLC and Lipo Rejuvenation Center, Inc.  All significant intercompany  transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation.
 
Use of Estimates
 
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The Company’s significant estimates and assumptions include depreciation and the fair value of the Company’s stock, stock-based compensation, debt discount and deferred tax assets, including a valuation allowance.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Concentrations of Credit Risk
 
The Company maintains deposits in a financial institution which is insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”). At various times, the Company has deposits in this financial institution in excess of the amount insured by the FDIC.
 
Cash
 
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents. As of December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company does not have any cash equivalents.
 
Property and Equipment
 
Property and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation which is recorded using the straight line method at rates sufficient to charge the cost of depreciable assets to operations over their estimated useful lives, which range from 3 to 5 years.  Maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.
 
Intangible Assets
 
Intangible assets are comprised of trademarks. Once placed into service, the Company amortizes the cost of the intangible assets over their useful lives, which is estimated to be 10 years, on a straight line basis.
 
Advertising
 
Advertising costs are charged to operations as incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company incurred advertising costs of $124,850 and $78,272, respectively.  For the period from December 30, 2008 (Inception) to December 31, 2010, the Company’s total advertising expense amounted to $204,122.
 
Research and Development
 
Research and development expenses are charged to operations as incurred.  For the years ended December 31, 2010 and December 31, 2009, the Company incurred research and development expenses of $11,620 and $0, respectively.  For the period from December 30, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2010, the Company’s total research and development expenses amounted to $11,620.
 
Income Taxes
 
The Company accounts for income taxes using the liability method. Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax basis of such assets and liabilities.

STEM CELL ASSURANCE, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES
(A COMPANY IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
The Company adopted the provisions of ASC Topic 740-10, which prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement process for financial statements recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The guidance also prescribes direction on derecognition, classification, interest and payables accounting in interim financial statements and related disclosures.  The adoption of ASC Topic 740-10 did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
 
Management has evaluated and concluded that there were no material uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in the Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
Net Loss Per Share
 
Basic earnings (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per common share is computed by dividing net earnings by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding, plus the issuance of common shares, if dilutive, resulting from the exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants.
 
The Company’s issued and outstanding common shares as of December 31, 2010 and 2009 do not include the underlying shares issuable upon the exercise of the 72,000,000 options and 2,000,000 warrants as of December 31, 2010 and 2,000,000 warrants as of December 31, 2009 with an exercise price of $0.01 or less.  See Note 10.  In accordance with ASC 260, the Company has given effect to the issuance of these options and warrants in computing basic and diluted net loss per share.  
 
Stock-Based Compensation
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments to non-employees in accordance with accounting guidance which requires that such equity instruments are recorded at their fair value on the measurement date, which is typically the date the services are performed. Stock-based compensation is reflected in general and administrative expenses for all periods presented.
 
The Company accounts for equity instruments issued to employees in accordance with accounting guidance that requires awards are recorded at their fair value on the date of grant and are amortized over the vesting period of the award. The Company recognizes compensation costs over the requisite service period of the award, which is generally the vesting term of the options associated with the underlying employment agreement, if applicable.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
Impairment of Long-lived Assets
 
The Company reviews for the impairment of long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  An impairment loss would be recognized when estimated future cash flows expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition is less than its carrying amount.  The Company has not identified any such impairment losses.
 
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
 
The carrying amounts of cash, accounts payable, and accrued liabilities approximate fair value due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The carrying amounts of our short term credit obligations approximate fair value because the effective yields on these obligations, which include contractual interest rates taken together with other features such as concurrent issuance of warrants and/or embedded conversion options, are comparable to rates of returns for instruments of similar credit risk.
 
The Company measures the fair value of financial assets and liabilities based on the guidance of ASC 820 “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures” which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
 
ASC 820 defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. ASC 820 also establishes a fair value hierarchy, which requires an entity to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs when measuring fair value. ASC 820 describes three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value:
 
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
 
Level 2 — quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable
 
Level 3 — inputs that are unobservable (for example, cash flow modeling inputs based on assumptions)
 
No such items existed as of December 31, 2010 or 2009.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
In January 2010, the FASB issued guidance requiring new disclosures and clarifying existing disclosure requirements about fair value measurement. The FASB’s objective is to improve these disclosures and, thus, increase the transparency in financial reporting.  Specifically, the amendments now require a reporting entity to:
 
 18| Page
 

STEM CELL ASSURANCE, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES
(A COMPANY IN THE DEVELOPMENT STAGE)
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
•     Disclose separately the amounts of significant transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and describe the reasons for the transfers; and
 
•     Present separately information about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant unobservable inputs.
 
In addition, the guidance clarifies the requirements of the following disclosures:
 
 •     For purposes of reporting fair value measurement for each class of assets and liabilities, a reporting entity needs to use judgment in determining the appropriate classes of assets and liabilities; and
 
•     A reporting entity is to provide disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs used to measure fair value for both recurring and nonrecurring fair value measurements.
 
The guidance is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about purchases, sales, issuances, and settlements in the roll forward of activity in Level 3 fair value measurements. Those disclosures are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010, and for interim periods within those fiscal years. Early application is permitted.  The Company adopted the revised disclosure guidance in the first quarter of 2009 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.
 
In February 2010, the FASB issued an update which amends the subsequent events disclosure guidance.  The amendments include a definition of an SEC filer, requires an SEC filer to evaluate subsequent events through the date the financial statements are issued, and removes the requirement for an SEC filer to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated.  This guidance was effective upon issuance for the Company. 
 
The Company does not believe that there are any other new accounting pronouncements that the Company is required to adopt that are likely to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements upon adoption.
 
Subsequent Events
 
Management has evaluated subsequent events to determine whether events or transactions occurring through May 11, 2011, the date on which the financial statements were available to be issued, will require potential adjustment to or disclosure in the Company’s financial statements.

Notes Payable
 
During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company issued certain notes payable aggregating $332,654 and $278,485, respectively.  The notes bear interest between 0% and 15% per annum (weighted average interest rate of 11.75%) and are due on various dates through November 2011.  Certain of the notes payable agreements were non-interest bearing.  The Company calculated the imputed interest associated with non-interest bearing notes and the resulting expense was deemed de minimus to the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009.  In connection with the notes payable, the Company also issued 4,700,000 and 41,000,000 common shares to certain lenders during 2010 and 2009, respectively. The relative fair value of the shares issued was $31,910 and $191,322, respectively, and has been recognized as a debt discount on the dates that the respective notes were issued.  Such amount is being amortized to interest expense over the terms of the respective notes.  During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recognized $181,739 and $28,988 in amortization of the deferred debt discount, respectively.  Aggregate amortization of debt discount from December 30, 2008 (inception) through December 31, 2010 was $210,727.  As of December 31, 2010, the Company has included $6,971 of the debt discount as shares issuable as the note payable agreement was made but the 1,000,000 shares were not issued until subsequent to year end.

A reconciliation of the statutory federal income tax rate to the Company’s effective tax rate is as follows:
 
   
Year Ended December 31,
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
             
Tax benefit at federal statutory rate
    (34 )%     (34 )%
State income taxes, net of federal tax benefit
    (4 )%     (4 )%
Permanent differences
    -       -  
Change in valuation allowance
    38 %     38 %
Effective income tax rate
    -       -  
 
The Company assesses the likelihood that deferred tax assets will be realized. To the extent that realization is not likely, a valuation allowance is established.  Based upon the Company’s history of losses since inception, management believes that it is more likely than not that future benefits of deferred tax assets will not be realized.  The Company does not expect any significant changes in the unrecognized tax benefits within twelve months of the reporting date.
 
At December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company had approximately $3,000,000 and $1,227,000, respectively, of federal and state net operating losses that may be available to offset future taxable income. The net operating loss carry forwards, if not utilized, will expire from 2029 to 2030 for federal purposes.  In accordance with Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code, the usage of the Company’s net operating loss carry forward is deemed to be limited due to the of a change in ownership in April 2009.

Stock-Based Compensation
 
Stock Options
 
On November 17, 2010, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted the 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”).  Pursuant to the Plan, up to 100,000,000 shares of common stock may be issued to the Company’s employees, non-employee directors, consultants and advisors.  Stockholder approval of the Plan was obtained effective as of December 15, 2010.
 
On December 15, 2010, pursuant to the Plan, the Company granted to its officers, directors and employees, options for the purchase of an aggregate of 22,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.01 per share, valued at $174,243.  The options vested immediately and are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant.
 
 
On December 23, 2010, pursuant to the Plan and in connection with the employment agreement discussed in Note 8, the Company granted to its Chief Executive Officer options for the purchase of 50,000,000 shares of its common stock at an exercise price of $0.001 per share, valued at $409,441. The options vested immediately and are exercisable for a period of ten years from the date of grant.
 
Stock option amortization expense for employees and directors was $583,685 and $0 for the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, respectively, and $583,685 from December 30, 2008 (inception) to December 31, 2010.
 
The fair value of each option granted during the year ended December 31, 2010 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes model.
 
 
The following assumptions were used to compute the grant date value of the options granted during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009:
 
   
2010
   
2009
 
Dividend Yield
    0 %     -  
Expected Volatility
    207 %     -  
Risk-free interest rate
    1.93 %     -  
Expected lives
 
5.0 years
      -  

 
Since the Company’s shares are not currently publicly traded, the fair value of the Company’s equity instruments was estimated using a share price derived from the quarterly rolling weighted average cash price paid to the Company for recent purchases of shares of common stock.  The expected life of options granted during the year ended December 31, 2010 was calculated using the simplified method set out in SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107, as amended by No. 110, using the vesting term set forth in the option agreements and the expected contractual term of 10 years. The simplified method defines the expected life as the average of the contractual term and the vesting period.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
 
 
The weighted average fair value of the options on the date of grant, using the fair value based methodology, for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $0.0081.
 
Because the Company’s employee stock options have characteristics significantly different from those of traded options and warrants, and because changes in the subjective input assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, in management’s opinion, the existing models do not necessarily provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of its employee stock options. The fair value of stock-based payment awards was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model using a volatility figure derived from an index of comparable entities.  Management will review this assumption as the Company’s trading history becomes
a better indicator of value.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock options and the changes during the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 are presented in the tables below:

ARTICLE IV: Indemnification of Directors and Officers

SECTION 1. Any indemnification (unless ordered by a court) shall be made by the Company only as authorized in the specific case upon a determination that indemnification of the director, officer, employee or agent is proper in the circumstance because the person was not finally adjudged in any threatened, pending or completed action, suit or proceeding (an "Action") to have knowingly violated criminal law or was not liable for willful misconduct in the performance of the person's duty to the Company. In the case of any director, such determination shall be made: (1) by the Board of Directors by a majority vote of a quorum consisting of directors who were not parties to such Action; or (2) if such a quorum is not obtainable, by majority vote of a committee duly designated by the Board of Directors (in which designation directors who are parties may participate) consisting solely of two or more directors not at the time parties to the proceeding; or (3) by special legal counsel selected by the Board of Directors or its committee in the manner prescribed by clause (1) or (2) of this paragraph, or if such a quorum is not obtainable and such a committee cannot be designated, by majority vote of the Board of Directors, in which selection directors who are parties may participate; or (4) by vote of the shareholders, in which vote shares owned by or voted under the control of directors, officers and employees who are at the time parties to the Action may not be voted. In the case of any officer, employee, or agent other than a director, such determination may be made (i) by the Board of Directors or a committee thereof; (ii) by the Chairman of the Board of the Company or, if the Chairman is a party to such Action, the President of the Company, or (iii) such other officer of the Company, not a party to such Action, as such person specified in clause (i) or (ii) of this paragraph may designate. Authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made in the same manner as the determination that indemnification is permissible, except that if the determination is made by special legal counsel, authorization of indemnification and evaluation as to reasonableness of expenses shall be made by those entitled hereunder to select such legal counsel.

It is the intention of the Company that the indemnification set forth in this Section of Article IV, shall be applied to no less extent than the maximum indemnification permitted by law. In the event that any right to indemnification or other right hereunder may be deemed to be unenforceable or invalid, in whole or in part, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not affect any other right hereunder, or any right to the extent that is not deemed to be unenforceable. The indemnification provided herein shall be in addition to, and not exclusive of, any other rights to which those indemnified may be entitled under the articles of incorporation, any Bylaw, agreement, vote of shareholders, or otherwise, and shall continue as to a person who has ceased to be a director, officer, employee, or agent and inure to the benefit of such person's heirs, executors, and administrators.



ARTICLE V: Checks, Notes, Etc.

SECTION 1. All checks and drafts on the Company's bank accounts and all bills of exchange and promissory notes, and all acceptances, obligations and other instruments for the payment of money, shall be signed by such officer or officers, agent or agents, as shall be thereunto authorized from time to time by the Board of Directors.

SECTION 2. Shares of stock and other interests in other corporations or associations shall be voted by such officer or officers as the Board of Directors may designate.

ARTICLE VI: Capital Stock

SECTION 1. Certificate for shares. Unless otherwise authorized by the Board of Directors, the interest of each stockholder of the Company shall be evidenced by a certificate or certificates for shares of stock in such form as required by law and as the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe. The Board of Directors may authorize the issue of some or all of the shares of any or all of its classes or series without certificates. The certificates of stock shall be signed by the President or a Chief Financial Officer and the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary and sealed with the seal of the Company. Such seal may be a facsimile.

Where any such certificate is countersigned by a transfer agent other than the Company, or an employee of the Company, or is countersigned by a transfer clerk and is registered by a registrar, the signatures of the President or Chief Financial Officer and the Secretary or Assistant Secretary may be facsimiles.

In case any officer who has signed, or whose facsimile signature has been placed upon such certificate, shall have ceased to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may nevertheless be issued by the Company with the same effect as if such officer had not ceased to hold such office at the date of its issue.

SECTION 2. Transfer of Shares. The shares of stock of the Company shall be transferable on the books of the Company by the holders thereof in person or by duly authorized attorney, upon surrender and cancellation of certificates for a like number of shares, with duly executed assignment and power of transfer endorsed thereon or attached thereto, and with such proof of the authenticity of the signatures as the Company or its agents may reasonably require.

SECTION 3. Lost, Stolen or Destroyed Certificates. No certificate of stock claimed to have been lost, destroyed or stolen shall be replaced by the Company with a new certificate of stock until the holder thereof has produced evidence of such loss, destruction or theft, and has furnished indemnification to the Company and its agents to such extent and in such manner as the proper officers or the Board of Directors may from time to time prescribe.

The Board of Directors may amend or repeal the Company's Bylaws except to the extent that (i) The Company's articles of incorporation or Virginia state law reserves this power to the stockholders, or (ii) the shareholders in adopting or amending particular bylaws provide expressly that the board of directors may not amend or repeal that bylaw. The Company's shareholders may amend or repeal the Company's bylaws even though the bylaws may also be amended or repealed by the Board of Directors.

(c)   No Nonstatutory Stock Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of its grant.
 
9.   Reload Options . The Committee may grant Options with a reload feature.  A reload feature shall only apply when the option price is paid by delivery of Common Stock (as set forth in Section 13(b)(ii)) or by having the Company reduce the number of shares otherwise issuable to a Grantee (as provided for in the last sentence of Section 13(b)) (a “Net Exercise”).  The Award Agreement for the Options containing the reload feature shall provide that the Grantee shall receive, contemporaneously with the payment of the option price in shares of Common Stock or in the event of a Net Exercise, a reload stock option (the “Reload Option”) to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock used to exercise the Option (or not issued in the case of a Net Exercise), and (ii) with respect to Nonstatutory Stock Options, the number of shares of Common Stock used to satisfy any tax withholding requirement incident to the exercise of such Nonstatutory Stock Option.  The terms of the Plan applicable to the Option shall be equally applicable to the Reload Option with the following exceptions: (i) the option price per share of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of the Reload Option, (A) in the case of a Reload Option which is an Incentive Stock Option being granted to a 10% Stockholder, shall be 110% of the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Reload Option and (B) in the case of a Reload Option which is an Incentive Stock Option being granted to a person other than a 10% Stockholder or is a Nonstatutory Stock Option, shall be the Fair Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of grant of the Reload Option; and (ii) the term of the Reload Option shall be equal to the remaining option term of the Option (including a Reload Option) which gave rise to the Reload Option.  The Reload Option shall be evidenced by an appropriate amendment to the Award Agreement for the Option which gave rise to the Reload Option.  In the event the exercise price of an Option containing a reload feature is not paid in shares of Common Stock, the reload feature shall have no application with respect to such exercise.

10.   Stock Appreciation Rights .
 
(a)   The Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights to such persons eligible under the Plan as the Committee may select from time to time.  SARs shall be granted at such times, in such amounts and under such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, which terms and conditions shall be evidenced under an Award Agreement, subject to the terms of the Plan. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Award Agreement, an SAR shall entitle the Grantee to exercise the SAR, in whole or in part, in exchange for a payment of shares of Common Stock, cash or a combination thereof, as determined by the Committee and provided for in the Award Agreement, equal in value to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares of Common Stock underlying the SAR, determined on the date of exercise, over the base amount set forth in the Award Agreement for the shares of Common Stock underlying the SAR, which base amount shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of such Common Stock, determined as of the date the SAR is granted.  The Company may, in its sole discretion, withhold from any such cash payment any amount necessary to satisfy the Company’s obligation for withholding taxes with respect to such payment.
 
(b)   No SAR granted under the Plan shall be exercisable after the expiration of ten years from the date of its grant.
 
(c)   All references in the Plan to “Options” shall be deemed to include “SARs” where applicable.
 
11.  
Transferability of Options .
 
(a)   No Option granted under the Plan shall be transferable by the individual or entity to whom it was granted other than by will or the laws of descent and distribution, and, during the lifetime of an individual, shall not be exercisable by any other person, but only by him.
 
(b)   Notwithstanding Section 11(a) above, a Nonstatutory Stock Option granted under the Plan may be transferred in whole or in part during a Grantee’s lifetime, upon the approval of the Committee, to a Grantee’s “family members” (as such term is defined in Rule 701(c)(3) of the Securities Act and General Instruction A(1)(a)(5) to Form S-8) through a gift or domestic relations order.  The transferred portion of a Nonstatutory Stock Option may only be exercised by the person or entity who acquires a proprietary interest in such Option pursuant to the transfer.  The terms applicable to the transferred portion shall be the same as those in effect for the Option immediately prior to such transfer and shall be set forth in such documents issued to the transferee as the Committee may deem appropriate.  As used in the Plan, the terms “Grantee” (when referring to an Option recipient) and “holder of an Option” shall refer to the grantee of the Option and not any transferee thereof.

12.   Effect of Termination of Employment or Death on Options .
 
(a)   Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement and except as provided in subsections (b) and (c) of this Section 12, if the employment of an employee by, or the services of a non-employee director for, or consultant or advisor to, the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, shall terminate for any reason, then his Option may be exercised at any time within three months after such termination, subject to the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 12.  For purposes of this subsection (a), an employee, non-employee director, consultant or advisor who leaves the employ or services of the Company to become an employee or non-employee director of, or a consultant or advisor to, a parent or subsidiary of the Company or a corporation (or subsidiary or parent of the corporation) which has assumed the Option of the Company as a result of a corporate reorganization or like event shall not be considered to have terminated his employment or services.
 
(b)   Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if the holder of an Option under the Plan dies (i) while employed by, or while serving as a non-employee director for or a consultant or advisor to, the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, or (ii) within three months after the termination of his employment or services for any reason, then such Option may, subject to the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 12, be exercised by the estate of the employee or non-employee director, consultant or advisor, or by a person who acquired the right to exercise such Option by bequest or inheritance or by reason of the death of such employee or non-employee director, consultant or advisor, at any time within one year after such death.
 
(c)   Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, if the holder of an Option under the Plan ceases employment or services because of permanent and total disability (within the meaning of Section 23(e)(3) of the Code) (“Permanent Disability”) while employed by, or while serving as a non-employee director for or consultant or advisor to, the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company, then such Option may, subject to the provisions of subsection (d) of this Section 12, be exercised at any time within one year after his termination of employment, termination of directorship or termination of consulting or advisory services, as the case may be, due to the disability.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event the Company is a party to an employment, consulting or advisory agreement with a Grantee and such agreement provides for termination of employment or engagement based upon a disability or other incapacity, then, for such Grantee, a termination of employment or engagement for disability or other incapacity pursuant to the provisions thereof shall be considered to be a termination based upon Permanent Disability for purposes hereof.  Furthermore, notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to Stock Awards that are subject to Section 409A of the Code, Permanent Disability shall mean that a Grantee is disabled under Section 409A(a)(2)(c)(i) or (ii) of the Code.

(d)   An Option may not be exercised pursuant to this Section 12 except to the extent that the holder was entitled to exercise the Option at the time of termination of employment, termination of directorship, termination of consulting or advisory services, or death, and in any event may not be exercised after the expiration of the Option.
 
(e)   For purposes of this Section 12, the employment relationship of an employee of the Company or of a parent or subsidiary of the Company will be treated as continuing intact while he is on military or sick leave or other bona fide leave of absence (such as temporary employment by the Government) if such leave does not exceed 90 days, or, if longer, so long as his right to reemployment is guaranteed either by statute or by contract.
 
13.   Exercise of Options .
 
(a)   Unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, any Option granted under the Plan shall be exercisable, subject to vesting, in whole at any time, or in part from time to time, prior to expiration.  The Committee, in its absolute discretion, may provide in any Award Agreement that the exercise of any Options granted under the Plan shall be subject (i) to such condition or conditions as it may impose, including, but not limited to, a condition that the holder thereof remain in the employ or service of, or continue to provide consulting or advisory services to, the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company for such period or periods from the date of grant of the Option as the Committee, in its absolute discretion, shall determine; and (ii) to such limitations as it may impose, including, but not limited to, a limitation that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any employee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its parents and subsidiaries) shall not exceed $100,000.  In addition, in the event that under any Award Agreement the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time the Option is granted) of the Common Stock with respect to which Incentive Stock Options are exercisable for the first time by any employee during any calendar year (under all plans of the Company and its parents and subsidiaries corporations) exceeds $100,000, the Committee may, when shares are transferred upon exercise of such Options, designate those shares which shall be treated as transferred upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option and those shares which shall be treated as transferred upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option.
 
(b)   An Option granted under the Plan shall be exercised by the delivery by the holder thereof to the Company at its principal office (attention of the Secretary) of written notice of the number of shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised.  Such notice shall be accompanied, or followed within ten days of delivery thereof, by payment of the full option price of such shares, and payment of such option price shall be made by the holder’s delivery of (i) his check payable to the order of the Company, or (ii) previously acquired Common Stock, the Fair Market Value of which shall be determined as of the date of exercise (provided that the shares delivered pursuant hereto are acceptable to the Committee in its sole discretion) or (iii) if provided for in the Award Agreement, his check payable to the order of the Company in an amount at least equal to the par value of the Common Stock being acquired, together with a promissory note, in form and upon such terms as are acceptable to the Committee, made payable to the order of the Company in an amount equal to the balance of the exercise price, or (iv) by the holder’s delivery of any combination of the foregoing (i), (ii) and (iii).  Alternatively, if provided for in the Award Agreement, the holder may elect to have the Company reduce the number of shares otherwise issuable by a number of shares having a Fair Market Value equal to the exercise price of the Option being exercised.
 
8

 
 
14.   Further Conditions of Exercise of Options .
 
(a)   Unless prior to the exercise of the Option the shares issuable upon such exercise have been registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to the Securities Act, the notice of exercise shall be accompanied by a representation or agreement of the person or estate exercising the Option to the Company to the effect that such shares are being acquired for investment purposes and not with a view to the distribution thereof, and such other documentation as may be required by the Company, unless in the opinion of counsel to the Company such representation, agreement or documentation is not necessary to comply with the Securities Act.
 
(b)   If the Common Stock is listed on any securities exchange, including, without limitation, Nasdaq, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Common Stock pursuant to this Plan until it has been listed on each such exchange. In addition, the Company shall not be obligated to deliver any Common Stock pursuant to this Plan until there has been qualification under or compliance with such federal or state laws, rules or regulations as the Company may deem applicable.  The Company shall use reasonable efforts to obtain such listing, qualification and compliance.
 
15.   Restricted Stock Grants .
 
(a)   The Committee may grant Restricted Stock under the Plan to any individual or entity eligible to receive Restricted Stock pursuant to clause (b) of Section 5 hereof.
 
(b)   In addition to any other applicable provisions hereof and except as may otherwise be specifically provided in an Award Agreement, the following restrictions in this Section 15(b) shall apply to grants of Restricted Stock made by the Committee:
 
(i)   No shares granted pursuant to a grant of Restricted Stock may be sold, transferred, pledged, assigned or otherwise alienated or hypothecated until, and only to the extent that, such shares are vested.
 
(ii)   Shares granted pursuant to a grant of Restricted Stock shall vest as determined by the Committee, as provided for in the Award Agreement.  The foregoing notwithstanding (but subject to the discretion of the Committee and except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement), a Grantee shall forfeit all shares not previously vested, if any, at such time as the Grantee is no longer employed by, or serving as a director of, or rendering consulting or advisory services to, the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company.  All forfeited shares shall be returned to the Company.
 
(c)   In determining the vesting requirements with respect to a grant of Restricted Stock, the Committee may impose such restrictions on any shares granted as it may deem advisable including, without limitation, restrictions relating to length of service, corporate performance, attainment of individual or group Performance Goals, federal or state securities laws and Rule 162(m) of the Code, and may legend the certificates representing Restricted Stock to give appropriate notice of such restrictions.  With regard to a Restricted Stock Award that is intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, to the extent any such provision would create impermissible discretion under Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise violate Section 162(m) of the Code, such provision shall be of no force or effect.  The applicable Performance Goals shall be based on one or more of the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereto. Any such restrictions shall be specifically set forth in the Award Agreement.
 
9

 
 
(d)   Certificates representing shares granted that are subject to restrictions shall be held by the Company or, if the Committee so specifies, deposited with a third-party custodian or trustee until lapse of all restrictions on the shares.  After such lapse, certificates for such shares (or the vested percentage of such shares) shall be delivered by the Company to the Grantee; provided, however, that the Company need not issue fractional shares.
 
(e)   During any applicable period of restriction, the Grantee shall be the record owner of the Restricted Stock and shall be entitled to receive all dividends and other distributions paid with respect to such shares while they are so restricted.  However, if any such dividends or distributions are paid in shares of Company stock or cash or other property during an applicable period of restriction, the shares,  cash and/or other property deliverable shall be held by the Company or third party custodian or trustee and be subject to the same restrictions as the shares with respect to which they were issued.  Moreover, the Committee may provide in each grant such other restrictions, terms and conditions as it may deem advisable with respect to the treatment and holding of any stock, cash or property that is received in exchange for Restricted Stock granted pursuant to the Plan.
 
(f)   Each Grantee making an election pursuant to Section 83(b) of the Code shall, upon making such election, promptly provide a copy thereof to the Company.
 
16.   Stock Bonus Grants .
 
(a)   The Committee may grant Stock Bonus awards to such persons eligible under the Plan as the Committee may select from time to time.  Stock Bonus awards shall be granted at such times, in such amounts and under such other terms and conditions as the Committee shall determine, which terms and conditions shall be evidenced under an Award Agreement, subject to the terms of the Plan.  Upon satisfaction of any conditions, limitations and restrictions set forth in the Award Agreement, a Stock Bonus award shall entitle the recipient to receive payment of a bonus described under the Stock Bonus award in the form of shares of Common Stock of the Company.  Prior to the date on which a Stock Bonus award is required to be paid under an Award Agreement, the Stock Bonus award shall constitute an unfunded, unsecured promise by the Company to distribute Common Stock in the future.
 
(b)   The Committee may condition the grant or vesting of Stock Bonus Awards upon the attainment of specified Performance Goals set forth on Exhibit A as the Committee may determine, in its sole discretion, provided that, to the extent that such Stock Bonus Awards are intended to comply with Section 162(m) of the Code, the Committee shall establish the objective Performance Goals for the vesting of such Stock Bonus Awards based on a performance period applicable to each Grantee or class of Grantees in writing prior to the beginning of the applicable performance period or at such later date as permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code and while the outcome of the Performance Goals are substantially uncertain.  Such Performance Goals may incorporate, if and only to the extent permitted under Section 162(m) of the Code, provisions for disregarding (or adjusting for) changes in accounting methods, corporate transactions (including, without limitation, dispositions and acquisitions) and other similar type events or circumstances.  To the extent any such provision would create impermissible discretion under Section 162(m) of the Code or otherwise violate Section 162(m) of the Code, such provision shall be of no force or effect.  The applicable Performance Goals shall be based on one or more of the performance criteria set forth in Exhibit A hereto.
 
10

 
 
(c)   Shares granted pursuant to a Stock Bonus shall vest as determined by the Committee, as provided for in the Award Agreement.  The foregoing notwithstanding (but subject to the discretion of the Committee and except as otherwise provided in the Award Agreement), a Grantee shall forfeit the right to receive all shares not previously vested, if any, at such time as the Grantee is no longer employed by, or serving as a director of, or rendering consulting or advisory services to, the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company.
 
17.   Adjustment Upon Change in Capitalization .
 
(a)   In the event that the outstanding Common Stock is hereafter changed by reason of reorganization, merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares, reverse split, stock dividend or the like, an appropriate adjustment shall be made by the Committee in the aggregate number of shares available under the Plan, in the number of shares and option price per share subject to outstanding Options, in the number of shares issuable pursuant to outstanding Stock Bonus grants, and in any limitation on exerciseability referred to in Section 13(a)(ii) hereof which is set forth in outstanding Incentive Stock Options.  If the Company shall be reorganized, consolidated, or merged with another corporation, subject to the provisions of Section 20 hereof, the holder of an Option shall be entitled to receive upon the exercise of his Option, and the Grantee of a Stock Bonus shall be entitled to receive upon satisfaction of any conditions, limitations and restrictions set forth in the Award Agreement with respect to the Stock Bonus, the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as he would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of any such corporate event as if he had been, immediately prior to such event, the holder of the number of shares covered by his Option or subject to the Stock Bonus; provided, however, that, in such event, the Committee shall have the discretionary power to take any action necessary or appropriate to prevent any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder which is intended to be an “incentive stock option” from being disqualified as such under the then existing provisions of the Code or any law amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto; and provided, further, that in such event the Committee shall have the discretionary power to take any action necessary or appropriate to prevent such adjustment from being deemed or considered as the adoption of a new plan requiring shareholder approval under Section 422 of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder.
 
(b)   Any adjustment in the number of shares shall apply proportionately to only the unexercised portion of the Option, or the unissued shares subject to an outstanding Stock Bonus, granted hereunder.  If fractions of a share would result from any such adjustment, the adjustment shall be revised to the next lower whole number of shares.
 
11

 
 
18.   Rights of Grantees .  The holder of an Option granted under the Plan shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Common Stock covered by his Option until such Common Stock shall be transferred to him upon the exercise of his Option.  The recipient of a Stock Bonus under the Plan shall have none of the rights of a stockholder with respect to the Common Stock covered by the Stock Bonus until the date on which the Grantee is entitled to receive the Common Stock pursuant to the Award Agreement.
 
19.   Restrictions Upon Shares; Right of First Refusal .
 
(a)   No Grantee shall, for value or otherwise, sell, assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of all or any part of the shares issued pursuant to the exercise of an Option or received as Restricted Stock or pursuant to a Stock Bonus (collectively, the “Shares”), or of any beneficial interest therein (collectively a “Disposition”), except as permitted by and in accordance with the provisions of the Plan.  The Company shall not recognize as valid or give effect to any Disposition of any Shares or interest therein upon the books of the Company unless and until the Grantee desiring to make such Disposition shall have complied with the provisions of the Plan.
 
(b)   No Grantee shall, without the written consent of the Company, pledge, encumber, create a security interest in or lien on, or in any way attempt to otherwise impose or suffer to exist any lien, attachment, levy, execution or encumbrance on the Shares.
 
(c)   If, at any time, a Grantee desires to make a Disposition of any of the Shares (the “Offered Shares”) to any third-party individual or entity pursuant to a bona fide offer (the “Offer”), he shall give written notice of his intention to do so (“Notice of Intent to Sell”) to the Company, which notice shall specify the name(s) of the offeror(s) (the “Proposed Offeror(s)”), the price per share offered for the Offered Shares and all other terms and conditions of the proposed transaction.  Thereupon, the Company shall have the option to purchase from the Grantee all, but not less than all, the Offered Shares upon the same terms and conditions as set forth in the Offer.
 
(d)   If the Company desires to purchase all of the Offered Shares, it must send a written notice to such effect to the Grantee within 30 days following receipt of the Notice of Intent to Sell.
 
(e)   The closing of any purchase and sale of the Offered Shares shall take place 60 days following receipt by the Company of the Notice of Intent to Sell.
 
(f)   If the Company does not elect to purchase all of the Offered Shares within the period set forth in paragraph (d) hereof, no Shares may be purchased by the Company, and the Grantee shall thereupon be free to dispose of such Shares to the Proposed Offeror(s) strictly in accordance with the terms of the Offer.  If the Offered Shares are not disposed of strictly in accordance with the terms of the Offer within a period of 120 days after the Grantee gives a Notice of Intent to Sell, such Shares may not thereafter be sold without compliance with the provisions hereof.
 
(g)   All certificates representing the Shares shall bear on the face or reverse side thereof the following legend:
 
12

 
 
“The shares represented by this certificate are subject to the provisions of the Stem Cell Assurance, Inc. 2010 Equity Participation Plan, a copy of which is on file at the offices of the Company.”
 
(h)   The provisions of this Section 19 shall only take effect if expressly provided for in the particular Award Agreement, shall be of no force or effect during such time that the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act pursuant to Section 13 or 15(d) thereof and shall be subject to the provisions of any and all agreements hereafter entered into to which both the Company and any Grantee are parties that provide for a right of first refusal with respect to the Disposition of Shares.
 
20.   Liquidation, Merger or Consolidation . Notwithstanding Section 13(a) hereof, if the Board of Directors approves a plan of complete liquidation or a merger or consolidation (other than a merger or consolidation that would result in the voting securities of the Company outstanding immediately prior thereto continuing to represent (either by remaining outstanding or by being converted into voting securities of the surviving entity), at least 50% of the combined voting power of the voting securities of the Company (or such surviving entity) outstanding immediately after such merger or consolidation), the Committee may, in its sole discretion, upon written notice to the holder of an Option, provide that the Option must be exercised within 20 days following the date of such notice or it will be terminated.  In the event such notice is given, the Option shall become immediately exercisable in full.
 
21.   Market Stand-off” .  No Grantee may, without the prior written consent of the managing underwriter, do any of the following during the period commencing on the date of the final prospectus relating to the Company’s first underwritten public offering of its Common Stock under the Securities Act after the Adoption Date (as hereinafter defined) (the “IPO”) and ending on the date specified by the Company and the managing underwriter (such period not to exceed 180 days in the case of the IPO; provided, however, that if (a) during the last 17 days of the initial lock-up period, the Company releases earnings results or announces material news or a material event or (b) prior to the expiration of the initial lock-up period, the Company announces that it will release earnings results during the 15-day period following the last day of the initial lock-up period, then in each case the lock-up period will be automatically extended until the expiration of the 18-day period beginning on the date of release of the earnings results or the announcement of the material news or material event, as applicable): (i) lend; offer; pledge; sell; contract to sell; sell any option or contract to purchase; purchase any option or contract to sell; grant any option, right, or warrant to purchase; or otherwise transfer or dispose of, directly or indirectly, any of the Shares held immediately before the effective date of the registration statement for such offering or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or other securities, in cash, or otherwise.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 21 shall apply only to the IPO, shall not apply to the sale of any shares to an underwriter pursuant to an underwriting agreement, and shall be applicable to the Grantees only if all officers, directors, and stockholders individually owning more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding Common Stock are subject to the same restrictions.  The underwriters in connection with such registration are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 21 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party to the Award Agreement executed pursuant hereto.  Each Grantee shall execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters in connection with such registration that are consistent with this Section 21 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
 
13

 
 
22.   Effectiveness of the Plan .  The Plan was adopted by the Board on November 17, 2010 (the “Adoption Date”).   The Plan shall be subject to approval on or before November 17, 2011, which is within one year of the Adoption Date, by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the votes of the outstanding shares of capital stock of the Company present in person or represented by proxy at a meeting of stockholders and entitled to vote thereon (or in the case of action by written consent in lieu of a meeting of stockholders, the number of votes required by applicable law to act in lieu of a meeting) (“Stockholder Approval”).  In the event such Stockholder Approval is withheld or otherwise not received on or before the latter date, the Plan and, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement, all Options, SARs, Restricted Stock and rights to Bonus Shares that may have been granted hereunder shall become null and void.
 
23.   Termination, Modification and Amendment .
 
(a)   The Plan (but not Options previously granted under the Plan) shall terminate on November 17, 2020 (the “Termination Date”), which is within ten years from the Adoption Date, or sooner as hereinafter provided, and no Stock Award shall be granted after termination of the Plan.  The foregoing shall not be deemed to limit the vesting period for Options, SARs, Restricted Stock or Stock Bonuses granted pursuant to the Plan.
 
(b)   The Plan may from time to time be terminated, modified, or amended  if Stockholder Approval of the termination, modification or amendment is obtained.
 
(c)   Notwithstanding paragraph (b) hereof, the Board of Directors may at any time, on or before the Termination Date, without Stockholder Approval, terminate the Plan, or from time to time make such modifications or amendments to the Plan as it may deem advisable; provided, however, that the Board of Directors shall not, without Stockholder Approval, (i) increase (except as otherwise provided by Section 17 hereof) the maximum number of shares as to which Incentive Stock Options may be granted hereunder, change the designation of the employees or class of employees eligible to receive Incentive Stock Options, or make any other change which would prevent any Incentive Stock Option granted hereunder which is intended to be an “incentive stock option” from qualifying as such under the then existing provisions of the Code or any law amendatory thereof or supplemental thereto or (ii) make any other modifications or amendments that require Stockholder Approval pursuant to applicable law, regulation or exchange requirements, including, without limitation, Section 162(m) of the Code.  In the event Stockholder Approval is not received within one year of adoption by the Board of Directors of the change provided for in (i) or (ii) above, then, unless otherwise provided in the Award Agreement (but subject to applicable law), the change and all Stock Awards that may have been granted pursuant thereto shall be null and void.
 
14

 
 
(d)   No termination, modification, or amendment of the Plan may, without the consent of the Grantee to whom any Stock Award shall have been granted, adversely affect the rights conferred by such Stock Award.
 
24.   Not a Contract of Employment .  Nothing contained in the Plan or in any Award Agreement executed pursuant hereto shall be deemed to confer upon any individual or entity to whom a Stock Award is or may be granted hereunder any right to remain in the employ or service of the Company or a parent or subsidiary of the Company or any entitlement to any remuneration or other benefit pursuant to any consulting or advisory arrangement.
 
25.   Use of Proceeds .  The proceeds from the sale of shares pursuant to Stock Awards granted under the Plan shall constitute general funds of the Company.
 
26.   Indemnification of Board of Directors or Committee .  In addition to such other rights of indemnification as they may have, the members of the Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, shall be indemnified by the Company to the extent permitted under applicable law against all costs and expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with any action, suit, or proceeding to which they or any of them may be a party by reason of any action taken or failure to act under or in connection with the Plan or any rights granted thereunder and against all amounts paid by them in settlement thereof or paid by them in satisfaction of a judgment of any such action, suit or proceeding, except a judgment based upon a finding of bad faith.  Upon the institution of any such action, suit, or proceeding, the member or members of the Board of Directors or the Committee, as the case may be, shall notify the Company in writing, giving the Company an opportunity at its own cost to defend the same before such member or members undertake to defend the same on his or their own behalf.
 
27.   Captions .  The use of captions in the Plan is for convenience.  The captions are not intended to provide substantive rights.
 
28.   Disqualifying Dispositions .  If Common Stock acquired upon exercise of an Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan is disposed of within two years following the date of grant of the Incentive Stock Option or one year following the issuance of the Common Stock to the Grantee, or is otherwise disposed of in a manner that results in the Grantee being required to recognize ordinary income, rather than capital gain, from the disposition (a “Disqualifying Disposition”), the holder of the Common Stock shall, immediately prior to such Disqualifying Disposition, notify the Company in writing of the date and terms of such Disqualifying Disposition and provide such other information regarding the Disqualifying Disposition as the Company may reasonably require.
 
29.   Withholding Taxes .
 
(a)   Whenever under the Plan shares of Common Stock are to be delivered to a Grantee upon exercise of a Nonstatutory Stock Option or to a Grantee of Restricted Stock or a Stock Bonus, the Company shall be entitled to require as a condition of delivery that the Grantee remit or, at the discretion of the Committee, agree to remit when due, an amount sufficient to satisfy all current or estimated future Federal, state and local income tax withholding requirements, including, without limitation, the employee’s portion of any employment tax requirements relating thereto.  At the time of a Disqualifying Disposition, the Grantee shall remit to the Company in cash the amount of any applicable Federal, state and local income tax withholding and the employee’s portion of any employment taxes.
 
15

 
 
(b)   The Committee may, in its discretion, provide any or all holders of Nonstatutory Stock Options or Grantees of Restricted Stock or Stock Bonus with the right to use shares of Common Stock in satisfaction of all or part of the withholding taxes to which such holders may become subject in connection with the exercise of their Options or their receipt of Restricted Stock or Stock Bonus.  Such right may be provided to any such holder in either or both of the following formats:
 
(i)   The election to have the Company withhold, from the shares of Common Stock otherwise issuable upon the exercise of such Nonstatutory Stock Option or otherwise deliverable as a result of the vesting of Restricted Stock or the satisfaction of the conditions, limitations and restrictions with respect to a Stock Bonus, a portion of those shares with an aggregate fair market value equal to the percentage of the withholding taxes (not to exceed 100%) designated by the holder.
 
(ii)   The election to deliver to the Company, at the time the Nonstatutory Stock Option is exercised or Restricted Stock is granted or vested or the conditions, limitations and restrictions are satisfied for a Stock Bonus, one or more shares of Common Stock previously acquired by such holder (other than in connection with the Option exercise or Restricted Stock or Stock Bonus grant triggering the withholding taxes) with an aggregate Fair Market Value equal to the percentage of the withholding taxes (not to exceed 100%) designated by the holder.
 
30.   Section 409A of the Code .  Although the Company does not guarantee the particular tax treatment of Stock Awards granted under the Plan, Stock Awards made under the Plan are intended to comply with, or be exempt from, the applicable requirements of Section 409A of the Code and the Plan and any Award Agreement hereunder shall be limited, construed and interpreted in accordance with such intent.  To the extent that any Stock Award is subject to Section 409A of the Code, it shall be paid in a manner that will comply with Section 409A of the Code, including proposed, temporary or final regulations or any other guidance issued by the Secretary of the Treasury and the Internal Revenue Service with respect thereto.  In no event whatsoever shall the Company or any of its affiliates be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalties that may be imposed on a Grantee by Section 409A of the Code or any damages for failing to comply with Section 409A of the Code or this Section 30. Notwithstanding anything in the Plan or in a Stock Award to the contrary, the following provisions shall apply to any Stock Award granted under the Plan that constitutes "non-qualified deferred compensation" pursuant to Section 409A of the Code (a “409A Covered Award”):
 
(a)   A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of a 409A Covered Award providing for payment upon or following a termination of the Grantee’s employment unless such termination is also a "Separation from Service" within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of a 409A Covered Award, references to a “termination,” “termination of employment” or like terms shall mean Separation from Service. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in the Plan or the Stock Award, if the Grantee is deemed on the date of the Grantee’s termination of service to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B) and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time, or if none, the default methodology set forth in Code Section 409A, then with regard to any such payment under a 409A Covered Award, to the extent required to be delayed in compliance with Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), such payment shall not be made prior to the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of the Grantee’s Separation from Service, and (ii) the date of the Grantee’s death.  All payments delayed pursuant to this Section 30 shall be paid to the Grantee on the first day of the seventh month following the date of the Grantee’s Separation from Service or, if earlier, on the date of the Grantee’s death.
 
16

 
 
(b)   Whenever a payment under a 409A Covered Award specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days, the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.
 
(c)   If under a 409A Covered Award an amount is to be paid in two or more installments, for purposes of Code Section 409A, each installment shall be treated as a separate payment.
 
31.   Other Provisions .  Each Stock Award under the Plan may contain such other terms and conditions not inconsistent with the Plan as may be determined by the Committee, in its sole discretion.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Incentive Stock Option granted under the Plan shall include those terms and conditions which are necessary to qualify the Incentive Stock Option as an “incentive stock option” within the meaning of Section 422 of the Code and the regulations thereunder and shall not include any terms and conditions which are inconsistent therewith.
 
32.   Governing Law .  The Plan shall be governed by, and all questions arising hereunder shall be determined in accordance with, the laws of the State of Nevada, excluding choice of law principles thereof.

Exhibit A

The Executive hereby releases, waives, and forever discharges any and all claims of any kind against the Company and each and every of  its subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, parents, and respective predecessors, successors and assigns and their respective directors, officers, representatives, shareholders, members, managers, agents, employees, consultants and independent contractors, past, present and future, arising from the Executive’s employment and/or separation from employment with the Company, or from any other matter whatsoever up to and including the date of this Agreement, whether known or unknown, that she may have or had, including, but not limited to, fraud, claims arising under ADEA, Title VII, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. §1981, 42 U.S.C. §1983, The Equal Pay Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §206(d)(1), the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §201 et. seq., the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et. seq., the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §1001 et. seq., the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et. seq., the Civil Rights Act of 1991, 105 Stat. 1071, Executive Order 11246, and any other federal, state and local fair employment practice law, workers’ compensation law, unemployment insurance law, and any other employee relations duties and obligations, whether imposed by express or implied contract, tort (including, but not limited to, all intentional torts, negligence, negligent hiring, training, supervision or retention), common law, equity, public policy statute, executive order or law, any claims for physical or emotional distress or injuries, or any other duty obligation of any kind or description, as well as any rights or claims the Executive or her attorney or other representative have or may have for costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees or otherwise.

2.10   BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, THE EXECUTIVE STATES THAT: SHE HAS READ IT; SHE UNDERSTANDS IT AND KNOWS THAT SHE IS GIVING UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS; SHE AGREES WITH EVERYTHING IN IT; SHE WAS TOLD, IN WRITING, TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY BEFORE SIGNING IT; SHE HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT SHE HAS 21 DAYS TO REVIEW THE AGREEMENT AND THINK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT SHE WANTS TO SIGN IT; AND SHE HAS SIGNED IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY.
 
3.   RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS .  In consideration of the Company’s covenants set forth in Sections 1.2 through 1.4, and in order to induce the Company to execute this Agreement, the Executive agrees as set forth below.  For purposes of this Section 3, the term “Company” shall include the Company and each and every of  its subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, parents, and respective predecessors, successors and assigns and their respective directors, officers, representatives, shareholders, members, managers, agents, employees, consultants and independent contractors, past, present and future.
 
3.1   The Executive agrees that she will not in any way disparage the Company, or make or solicit any comments, statements or the like, that may be considered to be derogatory or detrimental to the good name or business reputation of the Company.  The Executive similarly agrees not to otherwise take or condone any action which is intended, or would reasonably be expected, to harm the Company, to impair the Company’s reputation, or to lead to unwanted or unfavorable publicity to the Company.
 
3.2   The Executive will not at any time within two (2) years of the date hereof, without the prior written consent of the Company (which consent the Executive acknowledges and agrees will require the approval of the Board of Directors of the Company), directly or indirectly, whether individually or as a principal, officer, stockholder, equity participant, employee, partner, joint venturer, member, manager, director or agent of, or lender, consultant or independent contractor to, any entity, or in any other capacity, other than on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company, or any entity over which the Company has control:
 
(a)   anywhere in the Western Hemisphere, engage or participate in a business which is similar to or competitive with, directly or indirectly, the current or proposed business of the Company (as described in Exhibit A attached hereto), and shall not make any investments in any such similar or competitive entity, except that the foregoing shall not restrict the Executive from acquiring up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting stock of any entity whose securities are listed on a stock exchange or Nasdaq;
 
(b)   cause or seek to persuade any director, officer, employee, customer, client, account, agent or supplier of, or consultant or independent contractor to, the Company, or others with whom the Company has had a business relationship (collectively, “Business Associates”), to discontinue or materially modify the status, employment or relationship of such person or entity with the Company following the date hereof, or to become employed in any activity similar to or competitive with the business activities of the Company;
 
(c)   cause or seek to persuade any prospective customer, client, employee, officer, director, account or other Business Associate of the Company (which at the date hereof was then actively being solicited by the Company) to determine not to enter into a business relationship with the Company or to materially modify its contemplated business relationship;
 
(d)   except with the written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company (which consent may be withheld in his sole discretion), hire, retain or associate in a business relationship with, directly or indirectly, any director, officer or employee of the Company (except that the Executive may associate in a business relationship with Tommy Berger; provided however, that the foregoing shall not be construed to limit the Executive’s obligations under the other paragraphs of this Section 3.2 or the other restrictions of this Section 3); or
 
(e)   solicit or cause or authorize to be solicited, or accept, for or on behalf of the Executive or any third party, any business from, or the entering into a business relationship with, (I) others who are, or were within one (1) year prior to the date hereof, a customer, client, account or other Business Associate of the Company or (II) any prospective customer, client, account or other Business Associate of the Company which at or about the date hereof was actively being solicited by the Company.
 
3.3   (a)           From and after the date hereof, the Executive will treat and hold in confidence and not disclose any and all Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) and refrain from using any of the Confidential Information, and shall deliver promptly to the Company or destroy, at the written request and option of the Company, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in her possession.  In the event that the Executive is requested or required (by oral question or written request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar legal proceeding) to disclose any Confidential Information, she will notify the Company promptly of the request or requirement so that the Company may seek a protective order.

(b)   For purposes hereof, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean (i) the terms and provisions of this Agreement and (ii) confidential or proprietary information and trade secrets of the Company including, without limitation, all correspondence, memoranda, files, manuals, books, lists, financial, operating or marketing records, forms, concepts, sales presentations, marketing programs, marketing strategy, business practices, bidding information, methods of operation, trademarks, patents, patent applications, other intellectual property rights, licenses, software and other technical information, customer leads, supplier lists, supplier leads, contract proposals, documents identifying  past, present and future customers, hiring and training methods, personnel records, investment policies, pricing and cost information, financial and other confidential and proprietary information concerning the Company’s operations and expansion plans, other trade secrets, any analyses, compilations or reports with regard to the foregoing, and all other information relating to the Company, whether such information is in written form or on magnetic tape, floppy disks, cd-roms or other means of storing electronic data. Confidential Information shall not include any information (i) which has been publicly disclosed by means other than by a breach of a confidentiality agreement, or (ii) which is subsequently disclosed by any third party not in breach of a confidentiality agreement.
 
3.4   The parties recognize that, because of the nature of the subject matter of this Section 3, it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to determine actual damages to the Company in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof by the Executive.  Accordingly, in such event, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies:
 
(a)   The right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, by way of injunctive relief or otherwise, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company, that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company and that the Company shall not be required to post any bond or other security in connection therewith;
 
(b)   The right and remedy to require the Executive to account for and pay over to the Company all monies and other consideration derived or received by the Executive as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 3, and the Executive hereby agrees to account for and pay over such monies and other consideration to the Company; and
 
(c)   The right to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in any action or proceeding in which it seeks to enforce its rights hereunder.
 
3.5   Each of the rights and remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the other, and shall be severally enforceable, and all of such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity.
 
3.6   The Executive shall not, without the prior written consent of the Company, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company during the 180 day period following the consummation of any public or private offering of the Company’s securities, or other Company financing, or for such longer period of time as any of the Company’s officers and/or directors so agree.  The underwriters, placement agents and/or subscribers in connection with such offering or financing are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 3.6 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party to this Agreement.  The Executive shall execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters, placement agents and/or subscribers in connection with such offering or financing that are consistent with this Section 3.6 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
 
3.7   The Executive agrees that, from and after the Agreement Effective Date, she shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of (a) more than two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company on any particular day and/or (b) more than five million (5,000,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company during any three (3) calendar month period (in each case subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like).  The foregoing restriction is in addition to the volume limitations provided for under applicable law.  Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, the Executive is delivering to the Company the certificates representing all shares of stock owned, directly or indirectly, by her so that a legend may be placed on such certificates with respect to the foregoing restrictions.  Such legend shall also be placed on the certificate evidencing the Transferred Shares.
 
3.8   The restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement are material elements of the consideration to be paid by the Company under this Agreement and are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the Company.
 
3.9   The Executive understands that, in the event of any violation of the covenants set forth in this Section 3, the Company’s obligation to pay the Severance Amount shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and the Executive shall be obligated to reimburse the Company for all Severance Amounts paid and return all of the Transferred Shares.
 
4.   COOPERATION . The Executive agrees to provide, for a period of one year following the Agreement Effective Date, reasonable support and cooperation to the Company, including litigation support, concerning any business matter of which she has knowledge by virtue of her employment with the Company prior to the date hereof.
 
5.   AFFIRMATIONS .  The Executive affirms that she has not filed, caused to be filed, or presently is a party to any claim, complaint, or action against the Company in any forum.  The Executive furthermore affirms that she has no known workplace injuries or occupational diseases.
 
6.   RETURN OF PROPERTY .  The Executive certifies that she has returned all Company property, including, without limitation, office, door and file keys, identification cards, credit cards, business cards, computer access codes, instructional manuals, any cell phones or computers the Company purchased for her use, and any bank wiring code devices.
 
7.   CHOICE OF LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY .  The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding choice of law principles thereof.  The Company and the Executive hereby irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within Palm Beach County, Florida over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any legal action related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.  In connection with any controversy arising out of or relating to the Agreement, each of the Company and the Executive irrevocably (a) consents to service of process out of the aforementioned courts, (b) WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND ANY OBJECTION THAT IT OR SHE MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, (c) agrees that service of process in any such action may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its or her address as provided in Section 11, and (d) agrees that nothing in the Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.

9.   BINDING EFFECT .   This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives.
 
10.   WAIVER; SEVERABILITY .   The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. If any provision of this Agreement, or part thereof, shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision and not in any way affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be carried out as if such invalid or unenforceable provision, or part thereof, had been reformed, and any court of competent jurisdiction is authorized to so reform such invalid or unenforceable provision, so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.

WHEREAS , Berger desires that the Termination Amount be paid to Research.

NOW, THEREFORE , upon the agreements and covenants set forth herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.   TERMINATION .
 
1.1   The parties agree that, effective as of the Agreement Effective Date (as hereinafter defined), the Employment Agreement is hereby terminated, of no further force or effect and is null and void and that Berger has no relationship with the Company or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates whatsoever.
 
1.2   Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, effective as of the Agreement Effective Date, the Company agrees to pay to Research the aggregate amount of one hundred eighty thousand dollars ($180,000) (the “Termination Amount”), payable in twelve (12) equal monthly installments on the first day of each month commencing as of February 1, 2011 (but in no event earlier than the Agreement Effective Date).
 
1.3   The amount to be paid to Research pursuant to Section 1.2 hereof shall constitute the sole and exclusive rights and remedy of both Berger and Research, and neither shall be entitled to any other or further compensation, rights or benefits hereunder, including accrued and unpaid salary, reimbursement of expenses, or issuance of shares, or otherwise.
 
2.   WAIVER AND RELEASE .  As consideration for this Agreement and the rights granted herein, Berger and Research (each, a “Releasor” and collectively, the “Releasors”) hereby make the following acknowledgments and agreements.  For purposes of this Section 2, the term “Company” shall include the Company and each and every of  its subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, parents, and respective predecessors, successors and assigns and their respective directors, officers, representatives, shareholders, members, managers, agents, employees, consultants and independent contractors, past, present and future.
 
2.1   The terms and conditions of this Agreement have been fully explained to each Releasor and each has entered into this Agreement with the assistance and advice of counsel.
 
2.2   Berger has been advised that he has twenty-one (21) days to consider this Agreement and decide for himself whether or not he wants to sign it and has signed it knowingly and voluntarily.

2.4   Each Releasor has carefully considered other alternatives to executing this Agreement, and has decided that he or it wants to sign it.
 
2.5   Berger is entitled to change his mind and revoke this Agreement within seven (7) days of signing it (the “Revocation Period”).  This Agreement will not become effective and Research will not receive any of the benefits set out herein until the later of (a) the date on which Research signs it and (b) the eighth day after Berger signs it (such later date, the “Agreement Effective Date”).  Any revocation within the Revocation Period must be submitted, in writing, to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company and state, “I hereby revoke my acceptance of the Termination Agreement between the Company, Stem Cell Research Company, LLC and me.”  The revocation must be received by the Chief Executive Officer by the end of the Revocation Period.  If the last day of the Revocation Period is a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday in the state of Florida, then the Revocation Period shall not expire until the next following day which is not a Saturday, Sunday, or legal holiday and the Agreement Effective Date shall be likewise extended.  In the event of a timely revocation by Berger, this Agreement shall be deemed null and void as to all parties hereto.

(“ADEA”), and Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, 42 U.S.C. §2000 et. seq. (“Title VII”).  The parties agree that this is not an acknowledgment that the Company has violated any law or regulation and the Company specifically denies having done so.
 
2.8   The consideration set forth herein is in full and complete satisfaction of all claims whatsoever, including any that may exist under the Employment Agreement. Each Releasor hereby releases, waives, and forever discharges any and all claims of any kind against the Company and each and every of  its subsidiaries, affiliates, divisions, parents, and respective predecessors, successors and assigns and their respective directors, officers, representatives, shareholders, members, managers, agents, employees, consultants and independent contractors, past, present and future, arising from any employment that Berger may have had with the Company, including under the Employment Agreement, and/or separation from employment with the Company, or from any other matter whatsoever up to and including the date of this Agreement, whether known or unknown, that he or it may have or had, including, but not limited to, fraud, claims arising under ADEA, Title VII, the Civil Rights Act of 1866, 42 U.S.C. §1981, 42 U.S.C. §1983, The Equal Pay Act, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §206(d)(1), the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §201 et. seq., the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993, 29 U.S.C. §2601 et. seq., the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended, 29 U.S.C. §1001 et. seq., the Americans with Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C. §12101 et. seq., the Civil Rights Act of 1991, 105 Stat. 1071, Executive Order 11246, and any other federal, state and local fair employment practice law, workers’ compensation law, unemployment insurance law, and any other employee relations duties and obligations, whether imposed by express or implied contract, tort (including, but not limited to, all intentional torts, negligence, negligent hiring, training, supervision or retention), common law, equity, public policy statute, executive order or law, any claims for physical or emotional distress or injuries, or any other duty obligation of any kind or description, as well as any rights or claims either Releasor or his or its attorney or other representative have or may have for costs, expenses, attorneys’ fees or otherwise.
 
2.9   This Agreement has been executed freely, knowingly and voluntarily by the Releasors without duress, coercion, or undue influence, with a full understanding of its terms.  Each Releasor acknowledges and agrees that, prior to executing this Agreement, he or it has been provided with sufficient time in which to consider this Agreement and that, in deciding to execute this Agreement, he or it has relied on his or its own judgment and further acknowledges that he or it is fully aware of its contents and of its legal effects.
 
2.10   BY SIGNING THIS AGREEMENT, BERGER STATES THAT: HE HAS READ IT; HE UNDERSTANDS IT AND KNOWS THAT IT IS GIVING UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS; HE AGREES WITH EVERYTHING IN IT; HE WAS TOLD, IN WRITING, TO CONSULT AN ATTORNEY BEFORE SIGNING IT; HE HAS BEEN ADVISED THAT HE HAS 21 DAYS TO REVIEW THE AGREEMENT AND THINK ABOUT WHETHER OR NOT HE WANTS TO SIGN IT; AND HE HAS SIGNED IT KNOWINGLY AND VOLUNTARILY.

Confidential Information shall not include any information (i) which has been publicly disclosed by means other than by a breach of a confidentiality agreement, or (ii) which is subsequently disclosed by any third party not in breach of a confidentiality agreement.
 
3.4   Neither Releasor shall, without the prior written consent of the Company, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any securities of the Company during the 180 day period following the consummation of any public or private offering of the Company’s securities, or other Company financing, or for such longer period of time as any of the Company’s officers and/or directors so agree.  The underwriters, placement agents and/or subscribers in connection with such offering or financing are intended third-party beneficiaries of this Section 3.4 and shall have the right, power, and authority to enforce the provisions hereof as though they were a party to this Agreement.  Each Releasor shall execute such agreements as may be reasonably requested by the underwriters, placement agents and/or subscribers in connection with such offering or financing that are consistent with this Section 3.4 or that are necessary to give further effect thereto.
 
3.5   The Releasors agree that, from and after the Agreement Effective Date, they shall not, directly or indirectly, sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of, in the aggregate, (a) more than two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company on any particular day and/or (b) more than five million (5,000,000) shares of Common Stock of the Company during any three (3) calendar month period (in each case subject to adjustment for stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations and the like).  The foregoing restriction is in addition to the volume limitations provided for under applicable law.  Berger represents and warranties that he does not own, directly or indirectly, any equity securities of the Company.
 
3.6   Simultaneously herewith, Research is entering into a Shareholder Agreement and Irrevocable Proxy with Mark Weinreb (“Weinreb”), Chief Executive Officer of the Company (the “Shareholder Agreement”).
 
3.7   Concurrently with the execution of this Agreement, Research is delivering to the Company the certificates representing the Shares so that a legend may be placed on such certificates with respect to the foregoing restrictions as well as to provide that the Shares are subject to the Shareholder Agreement.
 
3.8   The restrictive covenants contained in this Agreement are material elements of the consideration to be paid by the Company under this Agreement and are reasonable and properly required for the adequate protection of the Company.  The Releasors acknowledge and agree that the failure of the Company to pay the Termination Amount shall not excuse the Releasors from their obligations hereunder, it being understood that the sole remedy for such failure to pay shall be an action to enforce such payment.
 
3.9   Each Releasor understands that, in the event of any violation of the covenants set forth in this Section 3, the Company’s obligation to pay the Termination Amount shall terminate and be of no further force or effect.
 
3.10   The parties recognize that, because of the nature of the subject matter of this Section 3, it would be impracticable and extremely difficult to determine actual damages to the Company in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision hereof by a Releasor.  Accordingly, in such event, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies:
 
(a)   The right and remedy to have the provisions of this Agreement specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, by way of injunctive relief or otherwise, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company, that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy to the Company and that the Company shall not be required to post any bond or other security in connection therewith;
 
(b)   The right and remedy to require each Releasor to account for and pay over to the Company all monies and other consideration derived or received by either Releasor as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of this Section 3, and each Releasor hereby agrees to account for and pay over such monies and other consideration to the Company; and
 
(c)   The right to recover attorneys’ fees incurred in any action or proceeding in which it seeks to enforce its rights hereunder.
 
 
3

 
3.11   Each of the rights and remedies enumerated above shall be independent of the other, and shall be severally enforceable, and all of such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity.
 
3.12   Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 3.4 and 3.5, Research shall be permitted to pledge and/or sell its shares of Common Stock of the Company in a private transaction provided that the pledgee or purchaser, as the case may be, agrees, in a writing with the Company and Weinreb, to be bound by the provisions of Sections 3.4, 3.5 and 3.6 to the same extent as they apply to the Releasors (including becoming a party to the Shareholder Agreement).
 
4.   COOPERATION . Berger agrees to provide, for a period of one year following the Agreement Effective Date, without charge or compensation, reasonable support and cooperation to the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof, including litigation support, concerning any business matter of which he has knowledge by virtue of his relationship with the Company prior to the date hereof.
 
5.   AFFIRMATIONS .  Each Releasor affirms that it has not filed, caused to be filed, or presently is a party to any claim, complaint, or action against the Company and/or any subsidiary or affiliate thereof in any forum.  Berger furthermore affirms that he has no known workplace injuries or occupational diseases.
 
6.   RETURN OF PROPERTY .  Berger certifies that he has returned all Company property, including, without limitation, office, door and file keys, identification cards, credit cards, business cards, computer access codes, instructional manuals, any cell phones or computers the Company purchased for his use, and any bank wiring code devices.
 
7.   CHOICE OF LAW; JURISDICTION; WAIVER OF TRIAL BY JURY .  The parties agree that this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, excluding choice of law principles thereof.  The Company and the Releasors hereby irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of any federal or state court located within Palm Beach County, Florida over any dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement (except as provided for in Section 13 hereof) and each party hereby irrevocably agrees that all claims in respect of such dispute or any legal action related thereto may be heard and determined in such courts.  Each party hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, any objection that such party may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any such dispute brought in such court or any defense of inconvenient forum for the maintenance of such dispute.  In connection with any controversy arising out of or relating to the Agreement, each of the Company and Releasors irrevocably (a) consents to service of process out of the aforementioned courts, (b) WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL ACTION (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) AND ANY OBJECTION THAT IT OR HE MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF VENUE OF ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT BROUGHT IN THE AFOREMENTIONED COURTS, (c) agrees that service of process in any such action may, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, be effected by mailing a copy of such process by registered or certified mail (or any substantially similar form of mail), postage prepaid, to such party at its or his address as provided in Section 11, and (d) agrees that nothing in the Agreement shall affect the right to effect service of process in any other manner permitted by applicable law.
 
8.   ENTIRE AGREEMENT .   This Agreement contains the full and complete understanding and agreement of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral understandings or agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof.  No modification of this Agreement shall be binding unless made in writing and signed by the party sought to be charged.
 
9.   BINDING EFFECT .   This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their respective successors, assigns and legal representatives.
 
10.   WAIVER; SEVERABILITY .   The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach. If any provision of this Agreement, or part thereof, shall be held to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision and not in any way affect or render invalid or unenforceable any other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement shall be carried out as if such invalid or unenforceable provision, or part thereof, had been reformed, and any court of competent jurisdiction is authorized to so reform such invalid or unenforceable provision, so that it would be valid, legal and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law.
 
11.   NOTICES; DELIVERIES .  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries required or permitted to be given or made pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been duly given or made for all purposes when hand delivered or sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested and postage prepaid, or overnight mail or courier as follows:

1.   Lease of Premises . Upon and subject to all of the terms and conditions hereof, Landlord hereby leases the Premises to Tenant and Tenant hereby leases the Premises from Landlord. The portions of the Project which are for the non-exclusive use of tenants of the Project are collectively referred to herein as the “Common Areas.” Landlord reserves the right to modify Common Areas, provided that such modifications do not materially adversely affect Tenant's use of the Premises for the Permitted Use.
 
2.   Delivery; Acceptance of Premises; Commencement Date . Landlord shall use reasonable efforts to deliver the Premises to Tenant on or before the Target Commencement Date (“ Delivery ” or “ Deliver ”). If Landlord fails to timely Deliver the Premises, Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for any loss or damage resulting therefrom, and this Lease shall not be void or voidable except as provided herein. If Landlord does not Deliver the Premises within 30 days of the Target Commencement Date for any reason other than Force Majeure delays and delays caused by Tenant, this Lease may be terminated by Landlord or Tenant by written notice to the other, and if so terminated by either: (a) the Security Deposit, or any balance thereof (i.e., after deducting therefrom all amounts to which Landlord is entitled under the provisions of this Lease), shall be returned to Tenant, and (b) neither Landlord nor Tenant shall have any further rights, duties or obligations under this Lease, except with respect to provisions which expressly survive termination of this Lease. If neither Landlord nor Tenant elects to void this Lease within 5 business days of the lapse of such 30 day period, such right to void this Lease shall be waived and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect.
 
The “Commencement Date” shall be the date Landlord Delivers the Premises to Tenant. The “Rent Commencement Date” shall be the date 12 months after the Commencement Date (the first day of the 13th month of the Base Term). Upon request of Landlord, Tenant shall execute and deliver a written acknowledgment of the Commencement Date, the Rent Commencement Date and the expiration date of the Term when such are established in the form of the “Acknowledgement of Commencement Date” attached to this Lease as Exhibit D; provided however Tenant's failure to execute and deliver such acknowledgment shall not affect Landlord's rights hereunder. The “Term” of this Lease shall be the Base Term described on page 1 of this Lease and the Extension Term which Tenant may elect pursuant to Section 41 hereof.

Except as set forth in this Lease, if applicable: (i) Tenant shall accept the Premises in their condition as of the Commencement Date, subject to all applicable Legal Requirements (as defined in Section 7 hereof); (ii) Landlord shall have no obligation for any defects in the Premises; and (iii) Tenant's taking possession of the Premises shall be conclusive evidence that Tenant accepts the Premises and that the Premises were in good condition at the time possession was taken. Any occupancy of the Premises by Tenant before the Commencement Date shall be subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Lease, excluding the obligation to pay Base Rent.
 
Tenant agrees and acknowledges that neither Landlord nor any agent of Landlord has made any representation or warranty with respect to the condition of all or any portion of the Premises or the Project, and/or the suitability of the Premises or the Project for the conduct of Tenant's business, and Tenant waives any implied warranty that the Premises or the Project are suitable for the Permitted Use. This Lease constitutes the complete agreement of Landlord and Tenant with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any and all prior representations, inducements, promises, agreements, understandings and negotiations which are not contained herein. Landlord in executing this Lease does so in reliance upon Tenant's representations, warranties, acknowledgments and agreements contained herein.

Payments of Base Rent for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated. The obligation of Tenant to pay Base Rent and other sums to Landlord and the obligations of Landlord under this Lease are independent obligations. Tenant shall have no right at any time to abate, reduce, or set-off any Rent (as defined in Section 5 ) due hereunder except for any abatement as may be expressly provided in this Lease. With each installment of Base Rent and any other sums owed by Tenant to Landlord under this Lease, Tenant shall also pay to Landlord all Florida Sales Tax attributable thereto.

Tenant shall not be required to pay Base Rent with respect to the office portion of the Premises, consisting of approximately 303 rentable square feet, for the 13th and 14th  months of the Base Term. Tenant shall commence paying Base Rent with respect to the entire 1,766 rentable square feet of the Premises on the first day of the 15th month of the Base Term.

(b)   Additional Rent . In addition to Base Rent, Tenant agrees to pay to Landlord as additional rent (“ Additional Rent ”): (i) Tenant's Share of “Operating Expenses” (as defined in Section 5 ) and (ii) any and all other amounts Tenant assumes or agrees to pay under the provisions of this Lease, including, without limitation, any and all other sums that may become due by reason of any default of Tenant or failure to comply with the agreements, terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease to be performed by Tenant, after any applicable notice and cure period.
 
4.   Base Rent Adjustments . Base Rent shall be increased during the Base Term as provided for in the schedule set forth on page 1 of this Lease. Base Rent, as so adjusted, shall thereafter be due as provided herein. Base Rent adjustments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.

Landlord shall deliver to Tenant a written estimate of Operating Expenses for each calendar year during the Term (the “Annual Estimate”), which may be revised by Landlord from time to time during such calendar year. Commencing on the Commencement Date, and thereafter on the first day of each month of the Term, Tenant shall pay Landlord an amount equal to 1/12th of Tenant's Share of the Annual Estimate. Payments for any fractional calendar month shall be prorated.
 
The term “Operating Expenses” means all costs and expenses of any kind or description whatsoever incurred or accrued each calendar year by Landlord with respect to the Project (including, without duplication, Taxes (as defined in Section 9 ) reasonable reserves consistent with good business practice for future repairs and replacements, capital repairs and improvements amortized over the lesser of 7 years and the useful life of such capital items, and the costs of Landlord's third party property manager or, if there is no third party property manager, administration rent in the amount of 5.0% of Base Rent), excluding only:

Within 90 days after the end of each calendar year (or such longer period as may be reasonably required), Landlord shall furnish to Tenant a statement (an “Annual Statement”) showing in reasonable detail: (a) the total and Tenant's Share of actual Operating Expenses for the previous calendar year, and (b) the total of Tenant's payments in respect of Operating Expenses for such year. If Tenant's Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year exceeds Tenant's payments of Operating Expenses for such year, the excess shall be due and payable by Tenant as Rent within 30 days after delivery of such Annual Statement to Tenant. If Tenant's payments of Operating Expenses for such year exceed Tenant's Share of actual Operating Expenses for such year Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant within 30 days after delivery of such Annual Statement, except that after the expiration, or earlier termination of the Term or if Tenant is delinquent in its obligation to pay Rent, Landlord shall pay the excess to Tenant after deducting all other amounts due Landlord.

The Annual Statement shall be final and binding upon Tenant unless Tenant, within 30 days after Tenant's receipt thereof, shall contest any item therein by giving written notice to Landlord, specifying each item contested and the reason therefor. Operating Expenses for the calendar years in which Tenant's obligation to share therein begins and ends shall be prorated. Notwithstanding anything set forth herein to the contrary, if the Project is not at least 95% occupied on average during any year of the Term, Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses for such year shall be computed as though the Project had been 95% occupied on average during such year.

Tenant's Share ” shall be the percentage set forth on the first page of this Lease as Tenant's Share as reasonably adjusted by Landlord for changes in the physical size of the Premises or the Project occurring thereafter. Landlord may equitably increase Tenant's Share for any item of expense or cost reimbursable by Tenant that relates to a repair, replacement, or service that benefits only the Premises or only a portion of the Project that includes the Premises or that varies with occupancy or use. Base Rent, Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and all other amounts payable by Tenant to Landlord hereunder are collectively referred to herein as “Rent.”

6.   Security Deposit . The Security Deposit shall be held by Landlord without obligation for interest thereon as security for the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease. The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Upon each occurrence of a Default (as defined in Section 20 ), Landlord may use all or part of the Security Deposit to pay delinquent payments due under this Lease, future rent damages under Chapter 83, Florida Statutes, 2006, and the cost of any damage, injury, expense or liability caused by such Default, without prejudice to any other remedy provided herein or provided by law. Landlord's right to use the Security Deposit under this Section 6 includes the right to use the Security Deposit to pay future rent damages following the termination of this Lease pursuant to Section 21(c) below. Upon any use of all or any portion of the Security Deposit, Tenant shall pay Landlord on demand the amount that will restore the Security Deposit to its original amount. Upon bankruptcy or other debtor-creditor proceedings against Tenant, the Security Deposit shall be deemed to be applied first to the payment of Rent and other charges due Landlord for periods prior to the filing of such proceedings. Landlord's obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee; no interest shall accrue thereon. The Security Deposit shall be the property of Landlord, but shall be paid to Tenant when Tenant's obligations under this Lease have been completely fulfilled. Landlord shall be released from any obligation with respect to the Security Deposit upon transfer of this Lease and the Premises to a person or entity assuming Landlord's obligations under this Section 6 . Tenant hereby waives the provisions of any law, now or hereafter in force, including, without limitation, Chapter 83, Florida Statutes, 2006, which provide that Landlord may claim from a security deposit only those sums reasonably necessary to remedy defaults in the payment of Rent, to repair damage caused by Tenant or to clean the Premises, it being agreed that Landlord may, in addition, claim those sums reasonably necessary to compensate Landlord for any other loss or damage, foreseeable or unforeseeable, caused by the act or omission of Tenant or any officer, employee, agent or invitee of Tenant. The Security Deposit, or any balance thereof (i.e., after deducting therefrom all amounts to which Landlord is entitled under the provisions of this Lease), shall be returned to Tenant (or, at Landlord's option, to the last assignee of Tenant's interest hereunder) within 90 days after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease.
 
 

 
 
If Landlord transfers its interest in the Project or this Lease, Landlord shall either (a) transfer any Security Deposit then held by Landlord to a person or entity assuming Landlord's obligations under this Section 6 or (b) return to Tenant any Security Deposit then held by Landlord and remaining after the deductions permitted herein. Upon such transfer to such transferee or the return of the Security Deposit to Tenant, Landlord shall have no further obligation with respect to the Security Deposit, and Tenant's right to the return of the Security Deposit shall apply solely against Landlord's transferee. The Security Deposit is not an advance rental deposit or a measure of Landlord's damages in case of Tenant's default. Landlord's obligation respecting the Security Deposit is that of a debtor, not a trustee, and no interest shall accrue thereon.

7.   Use . The Premises shall be used solely for the Permitted Use set forth in the basic lease provisions on page 1 of this Lease, and in compliance with all laws, orders, judgments, ordinances, regulations, codes, directives, permits, licenses, covenants and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises, and to the use and occupancy thereof, including, without limitation, the Americans With Disabilities Act, 42 U.S.C.  12101, et seq. (together with the regulations promulgated pursuant thereto, “ ADA ”) (collectively, “ Legal Requirements ” and each, a “ Legal Requirement ”). Tenant shall, upon 5 days' written notice from Landlord, discontinue any use of the Premises which is declared by any Governmental Authority (as defined in Section 9 ) having jurisdiction to be a violation of a Legal Requirement. Tenant will not use or permit the Premises to be used for any purpose or in any manner that would void Tenant's or Landlord's insurance, increase the insurance risk, or cause the disallowance of any sprinkler or other credits. Tenant shall not permit any part of the Premises to be used as a “place of public accommodation”, as defined in the ADA or any similar legal requirement. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord promptly upon demand for any additional premium charged for any such insurance policy by reason of Tenant's failure to comply with the provisions of this Section or otherwise caused by Tenant's use and/or occupancy of the Premises. Tenant will use the Premises in a careful, safe and proper manner and will not commit or permit waste, overload the floor or structure of the Premises, subject the Premises to use that would damage the Premises or obstruct or interfere with the rights of Landlord or other tenants or occupants of the Project, including conducting or giving notice of any auction, liquidation, or going out of business sale on the Premises, or using or allowing the Premises to be used for any unlawful purpose. Tenant shall cause any equipment or machinery to be installed in the Premises so as to reasonably prevent sounds or vibrations from the Premises from extending into Common Areas, or other space in the Project. Tenant shall not place any machinery or equipment weighing 500 pounds or more in or upon the Premises or transport or move such items through the Common Areas of the Project or in the Project elevators without the prior written consent of Landlord. Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, use the Premises in any manner which will require ventilation, air exchange, heating, gas, steam, electricity or water beyond the existing capacity of the Project as proportionately allocated to the Premises based upon Tenant's Share as usually furnished for the Permitted Use.
 
Tenant, at its sole expense, shall make any alterations or modifications to the interior or the exterior of the Premises or the Project that are required by Legal Requirements (including, without limitation, compliance of the Premises with the ADA) related to Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises. Notwithstanding any other provision herein to the contrary, Tenant shall be responsible for any and all demands, claims, liabilities, losses, costs, expenses, actions, causes of action, damages or judgments, and all reasonable expenses incurred in investigating or resisting the same (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees, charges and disbursements and costs of suit) (collectively, “ Claims ”) arising out of or in connection with Legal Requirements, and Tenant shall indemnify, defend, hold and save Landlord harmless from and against any and all Claims arising out of or in connection with any failure of the Premises to comply with any Legal Requirement.
 
 

 

8.   Holding Over . If, with Landlord's express written consent, Tenant retains possession of the Premises after the termination of the Term, (i) unless otherwise agreed in such written consent, such possession shall be subject to immediate termination by Landlord at any time, (ii) all of the other terms and provisions of this Lease (including, without limitation, the adjustment of Base Rent pursuant to Section 4 hereof) shall remain in full force and effect (excluding any expansion or renewal option or other similar right or option) during such holdover period, (iii) Tenant shall continue to pay Base Rent in the amount payable upon the date of the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease or such other amount as Landlord may indicate, in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion, in such written consent, and (iv) all other payments shall continue under the terms of this Lease. If Tenant remains in possession of the Premises after the expiration or earlier termination of the Term without the express written consent of Landlord, (A) Tenant shall become a tenant at sufferance upon the terms of this Lease except that the monthly rental shall be equal to 200% of Rent in effect during the last 30 days of the Term, and (B) Tenant shall be responsible for all damages suffered by Landlord resulting from or occasioned by Tenant's holding over, including consequential damages. No holding over by Tenant, whether with or without consent of Landlord, shall operate to extend this Lease except as otherwise expressly provided, and this Section 8 shall not be construed as consent for Tenant to retain possession of the Premises. Acceptance by Landlord of Rent after the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of this Lease shall not result in a renewal or reinstatement of this Lease.
 
9.   Taxes . Landlord shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, all taxes, levies, fees, assessments and governmental charges of any kind, existing as of the Commencement Date or thereafter enacted (collectively referred to as “Taxes”), imposed by any federal, state, regional, municipal, local or other governmental authority or agency, including, without limitation, quasi-public agencies (collectively, “ Governmental Authority ”) during the Term, including, without limitation, all Taxes: (i) imposed on or measured by or based, in whole or in part, on rent payable to (or gross receipts received by) Landlord under this Lease and/or from the rental by Landlord of the Project or any portion thereof (subject to the obligations of Tenant to pay to Landlord any Florida Sales Tax on Base Rent and any other sums owed by Tenant to Landlord hereunder pursuant to the terms of Section 3(a) above), or (ii) based on the square footage, assessed value or other measure or evaluation of any kind of the Premises or the Project including ad valorem real estate taxes, or (iii) assessed or imposed by or on the operation or maintenance of any portion of the Premises or the Project, including parking, or (iv) assessed or imposed by, or at the direction of, or resulting from Legal Requirements, or interpretations thereof, promulgated by any Governmental Authority, or (v) imposed as a license or other fee, charge, tax, or assessment on Landlord's business or occupation of leasing space in the Project. Landlord may contest by appropriate legal proceedings the amount, validity, or application of any Taxes or liens securing Taxes. Taxes shall not include any net income taxes imposed on Landlord except to the extent such net income taxes are in substitution for any Taxes payable hereunder. If any such Tax is levied or assessed directly against Tenant, then Tenant shall be responsible for and shall pay the same at such times and in such manner as the taxing authority shall require. Tenant shall pay, prior to delinquency, any and all Taxes levied or assessed against any personal property or trade fixtures placed by Tenant in the Premises, whether levied or assessed against Landlord or Tenant. If any Taxes on Tenant's personal property or trade fixtures are levied against Landlord or Landlord's property, or if the assessed valuation of the Project is increased by a value attributable to improvements in or alterations to the Premises, whether owned by Landlord or Tenant and whether or not affixed to the real property so as to become a part thereof, higher than the base valuation on which Landlord from time-to-time allocates Taxes to all tenants in the Project, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such Taxes. Landlord's determination of any excess assessed valuation shall be binding and conclusive, absent manifest error. The amount of any such payment by Landlord shall constitute Additional Rent due from Tenant to Landlord immediately upon demand.
 
 

 
 
10.   Parking . Subject to all matters of record, Force Majeure, a Taking (as defined in Section 19 below) and the exercise by Landlord of its rights hereunder, Tenant shall have the right, in common with other tenants of the Project, to use its pro rata share of the parking spaces at the Project not specifically allocated to other tenants of the Project, which parking spaces shall be located in those areas designated for non-reserved parking, subject in each case to Landlord's rules and regulations. Landlord shall not be responsible for enforcing Tenant's parking rights against any third parties, including other tenants of the Project.

Landlord shall pay, as Operating Expenses or subject to Tenant's reimbursement obligation, for all Utilities used on the Premises, all maintenance charges for Utilities, and any storm sewer charges or other similar charges for Utilities imposed by any Governmental Authority or Utility provider, and any taxes, penalties, surcharges or similar charges thereon. Landlord may cause, at Tenant's expense, any Utilities to be separately metered or charged directly to Tenant by the provider. Tenant shall pay directly to the Utility provider, prior to delinquency, any separately metered Utilities and services which may be furnished to Tenant or the Premises during the Term. Tenant shall pay, as part of Operating Expenses, its share of all charges for jointly metered Utilities based upon consumption, as reasonably determined by Landlord. No interruption or failure of Utilities, from any cause whatsoever other than Landlord's willful misconduct, shall result in eviction or constructive eviction of Tenant, termination of this Lease or the abatement of Rent. Tenant agrees to limit use of water and sewer with respect to Common Areas to normal restroom use.
 
Landlord's sole obligation for either providing emergency generators or providing emergency back-up power to Tenant shall be: (i) to provide emergency generators with not less than the capacity of the emergency generators located in the Building as of the Commencement Date, and (ii) to contract with a third party to maintain the emergency generators as per the manufacturer's standard maintenance guidelines. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with operational emergency generators or back-up power or to supervise, oversee or confirm that the third party maintaining the emergency generators is maintaining the generators as per the manufacturer's standard guidelines or otherwise.

Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord does not guaranty that such emergency generators will be operational at all times or that emergency power will be available to the Premises when needed.

If Landlord approves any Alterations, Landlord may impose such conditions on Tenant in connection with the commencement, performance and completion of such Alterations as Landlord may deem appropriate in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion. Any request for approval shall be in writing, delivered not less than 15 business days in advance of any proposed construction, and accompanied by plans, specifications, bid proposals, work contracts and such other information concerning the nature and cost of the alterations as may be reasonably requested by Landlord, including the identities and mailing addresses of all persons performing work or supplying materials. Landlord's right to review plans and specifications and to monitor construction shall be solely for its own benefit, and Landlord shall have no duty to ensure that such plans and specifications or construction comply with applicable Legal Requirements. Tenant shall cause, at its sole cost and expense, all Alterations to comply with insurance requirements and with Legal Requirements and shall implement at its sole cost and expense any alteration or modification required by Legal Requirements as a result of any Alterations. Tenant shall pay to Landlord, as Additional Rent, on demand an amount equal to 3% of all charges incurred by Tenant or its contractors or agents in connection with any Alteration to cover Landlord's overhead and expenses for plan review, coordination, scheduling and supervision. Before Tenant begins any Alteration, Landlord may post on and about the Premises notices of non-responsibility pursuant to applicable law. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord for, and indemnify and hold Landlord harmless from, any expense incurred by Landlord by reason of faulty work done by Tenant or its contractors, delays caused by such work, or inadequate cleanup. This Lease expressly provides that the interest of the Landlord shall not be subject to liens for improvements made by the Tenant and the Tenant shall notify the contractor making any such improvements of such provision in this Lease in accordance with Section 713.10, Florida Statutes, 2006.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may, at the time its approval of any such Installation is requested, notify Tenant that Landlord requires that Tenant remove such Installation upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, in which event Tenant shall remove such Installation in accordance with the immediately succeeding sentence. Upon the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall remove (i) all wires, cables or similar equipment which Tenant has installed in the Premises or in the risers or plenums of the Building, (ii) any Installations for which Landlord has given Tenant notice of removal in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence, and (iii) all of Tenant's Property (as hereinafter defined), and Tenant shall restore and repair any damage caused by or occasioned as a result of such removal, including, without limitation, capping off all such connections behind the walls of the Premises and repairing any holes. During any restoration period beyond the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Tenant shall pay Rent to Landlord as provided herein as if said space were otherwise occupied by Tenant. If Landlord is requested by Tenant or any lender, lessor or other person or entity claiming an interest in any of Tenant' Property to waive any lien Landlord may have against any of Tenant's Property, and Landlord consents to such waiver, then Landlord shall be entitled to be paid as administrative rent a fee of $1,000 per occurrence for its time and effort in preparing and negotiating such a waiver of lien.

13.   Landlord's Repairs . Landlord, as an Operating Expense, shall maintain all of the structural, exterior, parking and other Common Areas of the Project, including HVAC, plumbing, fire sprinklers, elevators and all other building systems serving the Premises and other portions of the Project (“ Building Systems ”), in good repair, reasonable wear and tear and uninsured losses and damages caused by Tenant, or by any of Tenant's agents, servants, employees, invitees and contractors (collectively, “ Tenant Parties ”) excluded. Losses and damages caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party shall be repaired by Landlord, to the extent not covered by insurance, at Tenant's sole cost and expense. Landlord reserves the right to stop Building Systems services when necessary (i) by reason of accident or emergency, or (ii) for planned repairs, alterations or improvements, which are, in the judgment of Landlord, desirable or necessary to be made, until said repairs, alterations or improvements shall have been completed. Landlord shall have no responsibility or liability for failure to supply Building Systems services during any such period of interruption; provided however , that Landlord shall, except in case of emergency, make a commercially reasonable effort to give Tenant 24 hours advance notice of any planned stoppage of Building Systems services for routine maintenance, repairs, alterations or improvements. Tenant shall promptly give Landlord written notice of any repair required by Landlord pursuant to this Section, after which Landlord shall make a commercially reasonable effort to effect such repair. Landlord shall not be liable for any failure to make any repairs or to perform any maintenance unless such failure shall persist for an unreasonable time after Tenant's written notice of the need for such repairs or maintenance. Tenant waives its rights under any state or local law to terminate this Lease or to make such repairs at Landlord's expense and agrees that the parties' respective rights with respect to such matters shall be solely as set forth herein. Repairs required as the result of fire, earthquake, flood, hurricane, sinkhole, tornado, vandalism, war, or similar cause of damage or destruction shall be controlled by Section 18 .
 
14.   Tenant's Repairs . Subject to Section 13 hereof, Tenant, at its expense, shall repair, replace and maintain in good condition all portions of the Premises, including, without limitation, entries, doors, ceilings, interior windows, interior walls, and the interior side of demising walls. Such repair and replacement may include capital expenditures and repairs whose benefit may extend beyond the Term. Should Tenant fail to make any such repair or replacement or fail to maintain the Premises, Landlord shall give Tenant notice of such failure. If Tenant fails to commence cure of such failure within 10 days of Landlord's notice, and thereafter diligently prosecute such cure to completion, Landlord may perform such work and shall be reimbursed by Tenant within 10 days after demand therefor; provided, however, that if such failure by Tenant creates or could create an emergency, Landlord may immediately commence cure of such failure and shall thereafter be entitled to recover the costs of such cure from Tenant. Subject to Sections 17 and 18 , Tenant shall bear the full uninsured cost of any repair or replacement to any part of the Project that results from damage caused by Tenant or any Tenant Party and any repair that benefits only the Premises.
 
15.   Mechanic's Liens . Tenant shall discharge, by bond or otherwise, any mechanic's lien filed against the Premises or against the Project for work claimed to have been done for, or materials claimed to have been furnished to, Tenant within 10 days after the filing thereof, at Tenant's sole cost and shall otherwise keep the Premises and the Project free from any liens arising out of work performed, materials furnished or obligations incurred by Tenant. Should Tenant fail to discharge any lien described herein, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to pay such claim or post a bond or otherwise provide security to eliminate the lien as a claim against title to the Project and the cost thereof shall be immediately due from Tenant as Additional Rent. If Tenant shall lease or finance the acquisition of office equipment, furnishings, or other personal property of a removable nature utilized by Tenant in the operation of Tenant's business, Tenant warrants that any Uniform Commercial Code Financing Statement filed as a matter of public record by any lessor or creditor of Tenant will upon its face or by exhibit thereto indicate that such Financing Statement is applicable only to removable personal property of Tenant located within the Premises.

In connection with any improvements made by the Tenant to the Premises: (a) Tenant shall not allow any Notice of Commencement to be filed pursuant to Section 713.13, Florida Statutes, 2006, unless the form and content thereof (including description of the Premises) is approved in writing by Landlord; and (b) upon the request of Landlord, any liens filed shall be transferred promptly by Tenant at its expense to bond or other security pursuant to Section 713.24, Florida Statutes, 2006.

Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant assumes all risk of damage to, personal property (including, without limitation, loss of records kept within the Premises). Tenant further waives any and all Claims for injury to Tenant's business or loss of income relating to any such damage or destruction of personal property (including, without limitation, any loss of records). Landlord shall not be liable for any damages arising from any act, omission or neglect of any tenant in the Project or of any other third party.
 
17.   Insurance . Landlord shall maintain all risk property and, if applicable, sprinkler damage insurance covering the full replacement cost of the Project or such lesser coverage amount as Landlord may elect provided such coverage amount is not less than 90% of such full replacement cost. Landlord shall further procure and maintain commercial general liability insurance with a single loss limit of not less than $2,000,000 for bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Project. Landlord may, but is not obligated to, maintain such other insurance and additional coverages as it may deem necessary, including, but not limited to, flood, environmental hazard and earthquake, loss or failure of building equipment, errors and omissions, rental loss during the period of repair or rebuilding, workers' compensation insurance and fidelity bonds for employees employed to perform services and insurance for any improvements installed by Tenant or which are in addition to the standard improvements customarily furnished by Landlord without regard to whether or not such are made a part of the Project. All such insurance shall be included as part of the Operating Expenses. The Project may be included in a blanket policy (in which case the cost of such insurance allocable to the Project will be determined by Landlord based upon the insurer's cost calculations). Tenant shall also reimburse Landlord for any increased premiums or additional insurance which Landlord reasonably deems necessary as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises.
 
Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall maintain during the Term: all risk property insurance with business interruption and extra expense coverage, covering the full replacement cost of all property and improvements installed or placed in the Premises by Tenant at Tenant's expense; workers' compensation insurance with no less than the minimum limits required by law; employer's liability insurance with such limits as required by law; and commercial general liability insurance, with a minimum limit of not less than $2,000,000 per occurrence for bodily injury and property damage with respect to the Premises. The commercial general liability insurance policy shall name Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., and Landlord, its officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors (collectively, “Landlord Parties”), as additional insureds; insure on an occurrence and not a claims-made basis; be issued by insurance companies which have a rating of not less than policyholder rating of A and financial category rating of at least Class X in “Best's Insurance Guide”; shall not be cancelable for nonpayment of premium unless 30 days prior written notice shall have been given to Landlord from the insurer; contain a hostile fire endorsement and a contractual liability endorsement; and provide primary coverage to Landlord (any policy issued to Landlord providing duplicate or similar coverage shall be deemed excess over Tenant's policies). Copies of such policies (if requested by Landlord), or certificates of insurance showing the limits of coverage required hereunder and showing Landlord as an additional insured, along with reasonable evidence of the payment of premiums for the applicable period, shall be delivered to Landlord by Tenant upon commencement of the Term and upon each renewal of said insurance. Tenant's policy may be a “blanket policy” with an aggregate per location endorsement which specifically provides that the amount of insurance shall not be prejudiced by other losses covered by the policy. Tenant shall, at least 5 days prior to the expiration of such policies, furnish Landlord with renewal certificates.
 
 

 

In each instance where insurance is to name Landlord as an additional insured, Tenant shall upon written request of Landlord also designate and furnish certificates so evidencing Landlord as additional insured to: (i) any lender of Landlord holding a security interest in the Project or any portion thereof, (ii) the landlord under any lease wherein Landlord is tenant of the real property on which the Project is located, if the interest of Landlord is or shall become that of a tenant under a ground or other underlying lease rather than that of a fee owner, and/or (iii) any management company retained by Landlord to manage the Project.

The property insurance obtained by Landlord and Tenant shall include a waiver of subrogation by the insurers and all rights based upon an assignment from its insured, against Landlord or Tenant, and their respective officers, directors, employees, managers, agents, invitees and contractors (“ Related Parties ”), in connection with any loss or damage thereby insured against. Neither party nor its respective Related Parties shall be liable to the other for loss or damage caused by any risk insured against under property insurance required to be maintained hereunder, and each party waives any claims against the other party, and its respective Related Parties, for such loss or damage. The failure of a party to insure its property shall not void this waiver. Landlord and its respective Related Parties shall not be liable for, and Tenant hereby waives all claims against such parties for, business interruption and losses occasioned thereby sustained by Tenant or any person claiming through Tenant resulting from any accident or occurrence in or upon the Premises or the Project from any cause whatsoever. If the foregoing waivers shall contravene any law with respect to exculpatory agreements, the liability of Landlord or Tenant shall be deemed not released but shall be secondary to the others insurer.

Landlord may require insurance policy limits to be raised to conform with requirements of Landlord's lender and/or to bring coverage limits to levels then being generally required of new tenants within the Project.
 
18.   Restoration . If, at any time during the Term, the Project or the Premises are damaged or destroyed by a fire or other insured casualty, Landlord shall notify Tenant within 60 days after discovery of such damage as to the amount of time Landlord reasonably estimates it will take to restore the Project or the Premises, as applicable (the “Restoration Period”). If the Restoration Period is estimated to exceed 12 months (the “Maximum Restoration Period”), Landlord may, in such notice, elect to terminate this Lease as of the date that is 75 days after the date of discovery of such damage or destruction. Unless Landlord so elects to terminate this Lease, Landlord shall, subject to receipt of sufficient insurance proceeds (with any deductible to be treated as a current Operating Expense), promptly restore the Premises (excluding the improvements installed by Tenant or by Landlord and paid for by Tenant), subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, from Force Majeure events or as needed to obtain any license, clearance or other authorization of any kind required to enter into and restore the Premises issued by any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release, disposal, removal or remediation of Hazardous Materials (as defined in Section 30 ) in, on or about the Premises (collectively referred to herein as “Hazardous Materials Clearances”); provided however, that if repair or restoration of the Premises is not substantially complete as of the end of the Maximum Restoration Period or, if longer, the Restoration Period, Landlord may, in its sole and absolute discretion, elect not to proceed with such repair and restoration, in which event Landlord shall be relieved of its obligation to make such repairs or restoration and this Lease shall terminate as of the date that is 75 days after the later of: (i) discovery of such damage or destruction, or (ii) the date all required Hazardous Materials Clearances are obtained, but Landlord shall retain any Rent paid and the right to any Rent payable by Tenant prior to such election by Landlord or Tenant.
 
Tenant, at its expense, shall promptly perform, subject to delays arising from the collection of insurance proceeds, from Force Majeure (as defined in Section 34 ) events or to obtain Hazardous Material Clearances, all repairs or restoration not required to be done by Landlord and shall promptly re­enter the Premises and commence doing business in accordance with this Lease. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord may terminate this Lease if the Premises are damaged during the last 1 year of the Term and Landlord reasonably estimates that it will take more than 2 months to repair such damage, or if insurance proceeds are not available for such restoration. Rent shall be abated from the date all required Hazardous Material Clearances are obtained until the Premises are repaired and restored, in the proportion which the area of the Premises, if any, which is not usable by Tenant bears to the total area of the Premises, unless Landlord provides Tenant with other space during the period of repair that is suitable for the temporary conduct of Tenant's business. Such abatement shall be the sole remedy of Tenant, and except as provided in this Section 18 , Tenant waives any right to terminate the Lease by reason of damage or casualty loss.
 
 

 

The provisions of this Lease, including this Section 18 , constitute an express agreement between Landlord and Tenant with respect to any and all damage to, or destruction of, all or any part of the Premises, or any other portion of the Project, and any statute or regulation which is now or may hereafter be in effect shall have no application to this Lease or any damage or destruction to all or any part of the Premises or any other portion of the Project, the parties hereto expressly agreeing that this Section 18   sets forth their entire understanding and agreement with respect to such matters.

19.   Condemnation . If the whole or any material part of the Premises or the Project is taken for any public or quasi-public use under governmental law, ordinance, or regulation, or by right of eminent domain, or by private purchase in lieu thereof (a “Taking” or “Taken”), and the Taking would in Landlord's reasonable judgment, either prevent or materially interfere with Tenant's use of the Premises or materially interfere with or impair Landlord's ownership or operation of the Project, then upon written notice by Landlord this Lease shall terminate and Rent shall be apportioned as of said date. If part of the Premises shall be Taken, and this Lease is not terminated as provided above, Landlord shall promptly restore the Premises and the Project as nearly as is commercially reasonable under the circumstances to their condition prior to such partial Taking and the rentable square footage of the Building, the rentable square footage of the Premises, Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses and the Rent payable hereunder during the unexpired Term shall be reduced to such extent as may be fair and reasonable under the circumstances. Upon any such Taking, Landlord shall be entitled to receive the entire price or award from any such Taking without any payment to Tenant, and Tenant hereby assigns to Landlord Tenant's interest, if any, in such award. Tenant shall have the right, to the extent that same shall not diminish Landlord's award, to make a separate claim against the condemning authority (but not Landlord) for such compensation as may be separately awarded or recoverable by Tenant for moving expenses and damage to Tenant's trade fixtures, if a separate award for such items is made to Tenant. Tenant hereby waives any and all rights it might otherwise have pursuant to any provision of state law to terminate this Lease upon a partial Taking of the Premises or the Project.
 
20.   Events of Default . Each of the following events shall be a default (“ Default ”) by Tenant under this Lease:
 
(a)   Payment Defaults . Tenant shall fail to pay any installment of Rent or any other payment hereunder when due.
 
(b)   Insurance . Any insurance required to be maintained by Tenant pursuant to this Lease shall be canceled or terminated or shall expire or shall be reduced or materially changed, or Landlord shall receive a notice of nonrenewal of any such insurance and Tenant shall fail to obtain replacement insurance at least 20 days before the expiration of the current coverage.
 
(c)   Abandonment . Tenant shall abandon the Premises.
 
(d)   Improper Transfer . Tenant shall assign, sublease or otherwise transfer or attempt to transfer all or any portion of Tenant's interest in this Lease or the Premises except as expressly permitted herein, or Tenant's interest in this Lease shall be attached, executed upon, or otherwise judicially seized and such action is not released within 90 days of the action.
 
 

 
 
(e)   Liens . Tenant shall fail to discharge or otherwise obtain the release of any lien placed upon the Premises in violation of this Lease within 10 days after any such lien is filed against the Premises.
 
(f)   Insolvency Events . Tenant or any guarantor or surety of Tenant's obligations hereunder shall: (A) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; (B) commence any case, proceeding or other action seeking to have an order for relief entered on its behalf as a debtor or to adjudicate it a bankrupt or insolvent, or seeking reorganization, arrangement, adjustment, liquidation, dissolution or composition of it or its debts or seeking appointment of a receiver, trustee, custodian or other similar official for it or for all or of any substantial part of its property (collectively a “Proceeding for Relief”); (C) become the subject of any Proceeding for Relief which is not dismissed within 90 days of its filing or entry; or (D) die or suffer a legal disability (if Tenant, guarantor, or surety is an individual) or be dissolved or otherwise fail to maintain its legal existence (if Tenant, guarantor or surety is a corporation, partnership or other entity).
 
(g)   Estoppel Certificate or Subordination Agreement . Tenant fails to execute any document required from Tenant under Sections 23 or 27 within 5 days after a second notice requesting such document.
 
(h)   Other Defaults . Tenant shall fail to comply with any provision of this Lease other than those specifically referred to in this Section 20 , and, except as otherwise expressly provided herein, such failure shall continue for a period of 10 days after written notice thereof from Landlord to Tenant.
 
Any notice given under Section 20(h) hereof shall: (i) specify the alleged default, (ii) demand that Tenant cure such default, (iii) be in lieu of, and not in addition to, or shall be deemed to be, any notice required under any provision of applicable law, and (iv) not be deemed a forfeiture or a termination of this Lease unless Landlord elects otherwise in such notice; provided that if the nature of Tenant's default pursuant to Section 20(h) is such that it cannot be cured by the payment of money and reasonably requires more than 10 days to cure, then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if Tenant commences such cure within said 10 day period and thereafter diligently prosecutes the same to completion; provided, however that such cure shall be completed no later than 30 days from the date of Landlord's notice.

21.   Landlord's Remedies .
 
(a)   Payment By Landlord; Interest . Upon a Default by Tenant hereunder, Landlord may, without waiving or releasing any obligation of Tenant hereunder, make such payment or perform such act. All sums so paid or incurred by Landlord, together with interest thereon, from the date such sums were paid or incurred, at the annual rate equal to 12% per annum or the highest rate permitted by law (the “Default Rate”), whichever is less, shall be payable to Landlord on demand as Additional Rent. Nothing herein shall be construed to create or impose a duty on Landlord to mitigate any damages resulting from Tenant's Default hereunder.
 
(b)   Late Payment Rent . Late payment by Tenant to Landlord of Rent and other sums due will cause Landlord to incur costs not contemplated by this Lease, the exact amount of which will be extremely difficult and impracticable to ascertain. Such costs include, but are not limited to, processing and accounting charges and late charges which may be imposed on Landlord under any Mortgage covering the Premises. Therefore, if any installment of Rent due from Tenant is not received by Landlord within 5 days after the date such payment is due, Tenant shall pay to Landlord an additional sum equal to 6% of the overdue Rent as a late charge. The parties agree that this late charge represents a fair and reasonable estimate of the costs Landlord will incur by reason of late payment by Tenant. In addition to the late charge, Rent not paid when due shall bear interest at the Default Rate from the 5th day after the date due until paid.
 
(c)   Remedies . Upon the occurrence of a Default, Landlord, at its option, without further notice or demand to Tenant, shall have in addition to all other rights and remedies provided in this Lease, at law or in equity, the option to pursue any one or more of the following remedies, each and all of which shall be cumulative and nonexclusive, without any notice or demand whatsoever.
 
 

 
 
(i)   Terminate this Lease, or at Landlord's option, Tenant's right to possession only, in which event Tenant shall immediately surrender the Premises to Landlord, and if Tenant fails to do so, Landlord may, without prejudice to any other remedy which it may have for possession or arrearages in rent, enter upon and take possession of the Premises and expel or remove Tenant and any other person who may be occupying the Premises or any part thereof, without being liable for prosecution or any claim or damages therefor;
 
(ii)   Upon any termination of this Lease, whether pursuant to the foregoing Section 21(c)(i) or otherwise, Landlord may recover from Tenant the following:
 
(A)  
The worth at the time of award of any unpaid rent which has been earned at the time of such termination; plus
 
(B)  
The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent which would have been earned after termination until the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
 
(C)  
The worth at the time of award of the amount by which the unpaid rent for the balance of the Term after the time of award exceeds the amount of such rental loss that Tenant proves could have been reasonably avoided; plus
 
(D)  
Any other amount necessary to compensate Landlord for all the detriment proximately caused by Tenant's failure to perform its obligations under this Lease or which in the ordinary course of things would be likely to result therefrom, specifically including, but not limited to, brokerage commissions and advertising expenses incurred, expenses of remodeling the Premises or any portion thereof for a new tenant, whether for the same or a different use, and any special concessions made to obtain a new tenant; and
 
(E)  
At Landlord's election, such other amounts in addition to or in lieu of the foregoing as may be permitted from time to time by applicable law.
 
The term “ rent ” as used in this Section 21 shall be deemed to be and to mean all sums of every nature required to be paid by Tenant pursuant to the terms of this Lease, whether to Landlord or to others. As used in Sections 21(c)(ii ) (A) and ( B) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by allowing interest at the Default Rate. As used in Section 21(c)(ii)(C) above, the “worth at the time of award” shall be computed by discounting such amount at the discount rate of the Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco at the time of award plus 1%.

(iii)   Landlord may continue this Lease in effect after Tenant's Default and recover rent as it becomes due (Landlord and Tenant hereby agreeing that Tenant has the right to sublet or assign hereunder, subject only to reasonable limitations). Accordingly, if Landlord does not elect to terminate this Lease following a Default by Tenant, Landlord may, from time to time, without terminating this Lease, enforce all of its rights and remedies hereunder, including the right to recover all Rent as it becomes due.
 
(iv)   Whether or not Landlord elects to terminate this Lease following a Default by Tenant, Landlord shall have the right to terminate any and all subleases, licenses, concessions or other consensual arrangements for possession entered into by Tenant and affecting the Premises or may, in Landlord's sole discretion, succeed to Tenant's interest in such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements. Upon Landlord's election to succeed to Tenant's interest in any such subleases, licenses, concessions or arrangements, Tenant shall, as of the date of notice by Landlord of such election, have no further right to or interest in the rent or other consideration receivable thereunder.
 
 

 
 
(v)   Independent of the exercise of any other remedy of Landlord hereunder or under applicable law, Landlord may conduct an environmental test of the Premises as generally described in Section 30(d) hereof, at Tenant's expense.
 
(vi)   Landlord shall have a lien for rent upon the Property of the Tenant in accordance with Chapter 83, Florida Statutes, 2006, et. seq.
 
(vii)   Landlord may remove Tenant from the Premises in the manner provided in Chapter 83, Florida Statutes, 2006, et. seq., regardless of whether Landlord elects to terminate the Lease.
 
(viii)   Landlord may pursue such other remedies as may be available at law and/or in equity.
 
(d)   Effect of Exercise . Exercise by Landlord of any remedies hereunder or otherwise available shall not be deemed to be an acceptance of surrender of the Premises and/or a termination of this Lease by Landlord, it being understood that such surrender and/or termination can be effected only by the express written agreement of Landlord and Tenant. Any law, usage, or custom to the contrary notwithstanding, Landlord shall have the right at all times to enforce the provisions of this Lease in strict accordance with the terms hereof; and the failure of Landlord at any time to enforce its rights under this Lease strictly in accordance with same shall not be construed as having created a custom in any way or manner contrary to the specific terms, provisions, and covenants of this Lease or as having modified the same and shall not be deemed a waiver of Landlord's right to enforce one or more of its rights in connection with any subsequent default. A receipt by Landlord of Rent or other payment with knowledge of the breach of any covenant hereof shall not be deemed a waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Landlord of any provision of this Lease shall be deemed to have been made unless expressed in writing and signed by Landlord. To the greatest extent permitted by law, Tenant waives the service of notice of Landlord's intention to re-enter, re-take or otherwise obtain possession of the Premises as provided in any statute, or to institute legal proceedings to that end, and also waives all right of redemption in case Tenant shall be dispossessed by a judgment or by warrant of any court or judge. Any reletting of the Premises or any portion thereof shall be on such terms and conditions as Landlord in its sole discretion may determine. Landlord shall not be liable for, nor shall Tenant's obligations hereunder be diminished because of, Landlord's failure to relet the Premises or collect rent due in respect of such reletting or otherwise to mitigate any damages arising by reason of Tenant's Default.
 
22.   Assignment and Subletting .
 
(a)   General Prohibition . Without Landlord's prior written consent subject to and on the conditions described in this Section 22 Tenant shall not, directly or indirectly, voluntarily or by operation of law, assign this Lease or sublease the Premises or any part thereof or mortgage, pledge, or hypothecate its leasehold interest or grant any concession or license within the Premises, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void and of no effect. If Tenant is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, the shares or other ownership interests thereof which are not actively traded upon a stock exchange or in the over-the-counter market, a transfer or series of transfers whereby 25% or more of the issued and outstanding shares or other ownership interests of such corporation are, or voting control is, transferred (but excepting transfers upon deaths of individual owners) from a person or persons or entity or entities which were owners thereof at time of execution of this Lease to persons or entities who were not owners of shares or other ownership interests of the corporation, partnership or limited liability company at time of execution of this Lease, shall be deemed an assignment of this Lease requiring the consent of Landlord as provided in this Section 22 .
 
 

 
 
(b)   Permitted Transfers .  If Tenant desires to assign, sublease, hypothecate or otherwise transfer this Lease or sublet the Premises, then at least 15 business days, but not more than 45 business days, before the date Tenant desires the assignment or sublease to be effective (the “Assignment Date”), Tenant shall give Landlord a notice (the “Assignment Notice”) containing such information about the proposed assignee or sublessee, including the proposed use of the Premises and any Hazardous Materials proposed to be used, stored handled, treated, generated in or released or disposed of from the Premises, the Assignment Date, any relationship between Tenant and the proposed assignee or sublessee, and all material terms and conditions of the proposed assignment or sublease, including a copy of any proposed assignment or sublease in its final form, and such other information as Landlord may deem reasonably necessary or appropriate to its consideration whether to grant its consent. Landlord may, by giving written notice to Tenant within 15 business days after receipt of the Assignment Notice: (i) grant such consent, (ii) refuse such consent, in its sole and absolute discretion, if the proposed assignment, hypothecation or other transfer or subletting concerns more than (together with all other then effective subleases) 50% of the Premises, (iii) refuse such consent, in its reasonable discretion, if the proposed subletting concerns (together with all other then effective subleases) 50% or less of the Premises (provided that Landlord shall further have the right to review and approve or disapprove the proposed form of sublease prior to the effective date of any such subletting), or (iv) terminate this Lease with respect to the space described in the Assignment Notice as of the Assignment Date (an “ Assignment Termination ”). If Landlord delivers notice of its election to exercise an Assignment Termination, Tenant shall have the right to withdraw such Assignment Notice by written notice to Landlord of such election within 5 business days after Landlord's notice electing to exercise the Assignment Termination. If Tenant withdraws such Assignment Notice, this Lease shall continue in full force and effect. If Tenant does not withdraw such Assignment Notice, this Lease, and the term and estate herein granted, shall terminate as of the Assignment Date with respect to the space described in such Assignment Notice. No failure of Landlord to exercise any such option to terminate this Lease, or to deliver a timely notice in response to the Assignment Notice, shall be deemed to be Landlord's consent to the proposed assignment, sublease or other transfer. Tenant shall pay to Landlord a fee equal to One Thousand Five Hundred Dollars ($1,500) in connection with its consideration of any Assignment Notice and/or its preparation or review of any consent documents.
 
(c)   Additional Conditions . As a condition to any such assignment or subletting, whether or not Landlord's consent is required, Landlord may require:
 
(i)   that any assignee or subtenant agree, in writing at the time of such assignment or subletting, that if Landlord gives such party notice that Tenant is in default under this Lease, such party shall thereafter make all payments otherwise due Tenant directly to Landlord, which payments will be received by Landlord without any liability except to credit such payment against those due under the Lease, and any such third party shall agree to attorn to Landlord or its successors and assigns should this Lease be terminated for any reason; provided , however in no event shall Landlord or its successors or assigns be obligated to accept such attornment; and
 
(ii)   A list of Hazardous Materials, certified by the proposed assignee or sublessee to be true and correct, which the proposed assignee or sublessee intends to use, store, handle, treat, generate in or release or dispose of from the Premises, together with copies of all documents relating to such use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials by the proposed assignee or subtenant in the Premises or on the Project, prior to the proposed assignment or subletting, including, without limitation: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Project (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion); and all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on or under the Project for the closure of any such tanks. Neither Tenant nor any such proposed assignee or subtenant is required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the such documents containing information of a proprietary nature which, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities.
 
 

 
 
(d)   No Release of Tenant, Sharing of Excess Rents . Notwithstanding any assignment or subletting, Tenant and any guarantor or surety of Tenant's obligations under this Lease shall at all times remain fully and primarily responsible and liable for the payment of Rent and for compliance with all of Tenant's other obligations under this Lease. If the Rent due and payable by a sublessee or assignee (or a combination of the rental payable under such sublease or assignment plus any bonus or other consideration therefor or incident thereto in any form) exceeds the rental payable under this Lease, (excluding however, any Rent payable under this Section)(“ Excess Rent ”), then Tenant shall be bound and obligated to pay Landlord as Additional Rent hereunder 50% of such Excess Rent within 10 days following receipt thereof by Tenant. If Tenant shall sublet the Premises or any part thereof, Tenant hereby immediately and irrevocably assigns to Landlord, as security for Tenant's obligations under this Lease, all rent from any such subletting, and Landlord as assignee and as attorney-in-fact for Tenant, or a receiver for Tenant appointed on Landlord's application, may collect such rent and apply it toward Tenant's obligations under this Lease; except that, until the occurrence of a Default, Tenant shall have the right to collect such rent.
 
(e)   No Waiver . The consent by Landlord to an assignment or subletting shall not relieve Tenant or any assignees of this Lease or any sublessees of the Premises from obtaining the consent of Landlord to any further assignment or subletting nor shall it release Tenant or any assignee or sublessee of Tenant from full and primary liability under the Lease. The acceptance of Rent hereunder, or the acceptance of performance of any other term, covenant, or condition thereof, from any other person or entity shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any of the provisions of this Lease or a consent to any subletting, assignment or other transfer of the Premises.
 
(f)   Prior Conduct of Proposed Transferee . Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 22 , if (i) the proposed assignee or sublessee of Tenant has been required by any prior landlord, lender or Governmental Authority to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property, where the contamination resulted from such party's action or use of the property in question, (ii) the proposed assignee or sublessee is subject to an enforcement order issued by any Governmental Authority in connection with the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required reporting to any Governmental Authority), or (iii) because of the existence of a pre-existing environmental condition in the vicinity of or underlying the Project, the risk that Landlord would be targeted as a responsible party in connection with the remediation of such pre-existing environmental condition would be materially increased or exacerbated by the proposed use of Hazardous Materials by such proposed assignee or sublessee, Landlord shall have the absolute right to refuse to consent to any assignment or subletting to any such party.
 
23.   Estoppel Certificate . Tenant shall, within 10 business days of written notice from Landlord, execute, acknowledge and deliver a statement in writing in any form reasonably requested by a proposed lender or purchaser, (i) certifying that this Lease is unmodified and in full force and effect (or, if modified, stating the nature of such modification and certifying that this Lease as so modified is in full force and effect) and the dates to which the rental and other charges are paid in advance, if any, (ii) acknowledging that there are not any uncured defaults on the part of Landlord hereunder, or specifying such defaults if any are claimed, and (iii) setting forth such further information with respect to the status of this Lease or the Premises as may be requested thereon. Any such statement may be relied upon by any prospective purchaser or encumbrancer of all or any portion of the real property of which the Premises are a part. Tenant's failure to deliver such statement within such time shall, at the option of Landlord, constitute a Default under this Lease, and, in any event, shall be conclusive upon Tenant that the Lease is in full force and effect and without modification except as may be represented by Landlord in any certificate prepared by Landlord and delivered to Tenant for execution.
 
 

 
 
24.   Quiet Enjoyment . So long as Tenant is not in Default under this Lease, Tenant shall, subject to the terms of this Lease, at all times during the Term, have peaceful and quiet enjoyment of the Premises against any person claiming by, through or under Landlord.
 
25.   Prorations . All prorations required or permitted to be made hereunder shall be made on the basis of a 360 day year and 30 day months.
 
26.   Rules and Regulations . Tenant shall, at all times during the Term and any extension thereof, comply with all reasonable rules and regulations at any time or from time to time established by Landlord covering use of the Premises and the Project. The current rules and regulations are attached hereto as Exhibit E. If there is any conflict between said rules and regulations and other provisions of this Lease, the terms and provisions of this Lease shall control. Landlord shall not have any liability or obligation for the breach of any rules or regulations by other tenants in the Project and shall not enforce such rules and regulations in a discriminatory manner.
 
27.   Subordination . This Lease and Tenant's interest and rights hereunder are hereby made and shall be subject and subordinate at all times to the lien of any Mortgage now existing or hereafter created on or against the Project or the Premises, and all amendments, restatements, renewals, modifications, consolidations, refinancing, assignments and extensions thereof, without the necessity of any further instrument or act on the part of Tenant; provided , however that so long as there is no Default hereunder, Tenant's right to possession of the Premises shall not be disturbed by the Holder of any such Mortgage. Tenant agrees, at the election of the Holder of any such Mortgage, to attorn to any such Holder. Tenant agrees upon demand to execute, acknowledge and deliver such instruments, confirming such subordination, and such instruments of attornment as shall be requested by any such Holder, provided any such instruments contain appropriate non-disturbance provisions assuring Tenant's quiet enjoyment of the Premises as set forth in Section 24 hereof. Tenant hereby appoints Landlord attorney-­in-fact for Tenant irrevocably (such power of attorney being coupled with an interest) to execute, acknowledge and deliver any such instrument and instruments for and in the name of Tenant and to cause any such instrument to be recorded. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any such Holder may at any time subordinate its Mortgage to this Lease, without Tenant's consent, by notice in writing to Tenant, and thereupon this Lease shall be deemed prior to such Mortgage without regard to their respective dates of execution, delivery or recording and in that event such Holder shall have the same rights with respect to this Lease as though this Lease had been executed prior to the execution, delivery and recording of such Mortgage and had been assigned to such Holder. The term “ Mortgage ” whenever used in this Lease shall be deemed to include deeds of trust, security assignments and any other encumbrances, and any reference to the “Holder” of a Mortgage shall be deemed to include the beneficiary under a deed of trust.
 
28.   Surrender . Upon the expiration of the Term or earlier termination of Tenant's right of possession, Tenant shall surrender the Premises to Landlord in the same condition as received, subject to any Alterations or Installations permitted by Landlord to remain in the Premises, free of Hazardous Materials brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in, or released or disposed of from, the Premises by any person other than a Landlord Party (collectively, “ Tenant HazMat Operations ”) and released of all Hazardous Materials Clearances, broom clean, ordinary wear and tear and casualty loss and condemnation covered by Sections 18 and 19 excepted. At least 3 months prior to the surrender of the Premises, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord a narrative description of the actions proposed (or required by any Governmental Authority) to be taken by Tenant in order to surrender the Premises (including any Installations permitted by Landlord to remain in the Premises) at the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, free from any residual impact from the Tenant HazMat Operations and otherwise released for unrestricted use and occupancy (the “ Surrender Plan ”). Such Surrender Plan shall be accompanied by a current listing of (i) all Hazardous Materials licenses and permits held by or on behalf of any Tenant Party with respect to the Premises, and (ii) all Hazardous Materials used, stored, handled, treated, generated, released or disposed of from the Premises, and shall be subject to the review and approval of Landlord's environmental consultant. In connection with the review and approval of the Surrender Plan, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such additional non-proprietary information concerning Tenant HazMat Operations as Landlord shall request. On or before such surrender, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord evidence that the approved Surrender Plan shall have been satisfactorily completed and Landlord shall have the right, subject to reimbursement at Tenant's expense as set forth below, to cause Landlord's environmental consultant to inspect the Premises and perform such additional procedures as may be deemed reasonably necessary to confirm that the Premises are, as of the effective date of such surrender or early termination of the Lease, free from any residual impact from Tenant HazMat Operations. Tenant shall reimburse Landlord, as Additional Rent, for the actual out-of pocket expense incurred by Landlord for Landlord's environmental consultant to review and approve the Surrender Plan and to visit the Premises and verify satisfactory completion of the same, which cost shall not exceed $5,000. Landlord shall have the unrestricted right to deliver such Surrender Plan and any report by Landlord's environmental consultant with respect to the surrender of the Premises to third parties.
 
 

 
 
If Tenant shall fail to prepare or submit a Surrender Plan approved by Landlord, or if Tenant shall fail to complete the approved Surrender Plan, or if such Surrender Plan, whether or not approved by Landlord, shall fail to adequately address any residual effect of Tenant HazMat Operations in, on or about the Premises, Landlord shall have the right to take such actions as Landlord may deem reasonable or appropriate to assure that the Premises and the Project are surrendered free from any residual impact from Tenant HazMat Operations, the cost of which actions shall be reimbursed by Tenant as Additional Rent, without regard to the limitation set forth in the first paragraph of this Section 28 .

Tenant shall immediately return to Landlord all keys and/or access cards to parking, the Project, restrooms or all or any portion of the Premises furnished to or otherwise procured by Tenant. If any such access card or key is lost, Tenant shall pay to Landlord, at Landlord's election, either the cost of replacing such lost access card or key or the cost of reprogramming the access security system in which such access card was used or changing the lock or locks opened by such lost key. Any Tenant's Property, Alterations and property not so removed by Tenant as permitted or required herein shall be deemed abandoned and may be stored, removed, and disposed of by Landlord at Tenant's expense, and Tenant waives all claims against Landlord for any damages resulting from Landlord's retention and/or disposition of such property. All obligations of Tenant hereunder not fully performed as of the termination of the Term, including the obligations of Tenant under Section 30 hereof, shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, including, without limitation, indemnity obligations, payment obligations with respect to Rent and obligations concerning the condition and repair of the Premises.
 
29.   Waiver of Jury Trial . TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, TENANT AND LANDLORD WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY OR TO HAVE A JURY PARTICIPATE IN RESOLVING ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER SOUNDING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE, BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT ARISING OUT OF THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER INSTRUMENT, DOCUMENT, OR AGREEMENT EXECUTED OR DELIVERED IN CONNECTION HEREWITH OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO.
 
30.   Environmental Requirements .
 
(a)   Prohibition/Compliance/Indemnity . Tenant shall not cause or permit any Hazardous Materials (as hereinafter defined) to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises or the Project in violation of applicable Environmental Requirements (as hereinafter defined) by Tenant or any Tenant Party. If Tenant breaches the obligation stated in the preceding sentence, or if the presence of Hazardous Materials in the Premises during the Term or any holding over results in contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property or if contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property by Hazardous Materials brought into, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated in or about, or released or disposed of from, the Premises by anyone other than Landlord and Landlord's employees, agents and contractors otherwise occurs during the Term or any holding over, Tenant hereby indemnifies and shall defend and hold Landlord, its officers, directors, employees, agents and contractors harmless from any and all actions (including, without limitation, remedial or enforcement actions of any kind, administrative or judicial proceedings, and orders or judgments arising out of or resulting therefrom), costs, claims,  damages (including, without limitation, punitive damages and damages based upon diminution in value of the Premises or the Project, or the loss of, or restriction on, use of the Premises or any portion of the Project), expenses (including, without limitation, attorneys', consultants' and experts' fees, court costs and amounts paid in settlement of any claims or actions), fines, forfeitures or other civil, administrative or criminal penalties, injunctive or other relief (whether or not based upon personal injury, property damage, or contamination of, or adverse effects upon, the environment, water tables or natural resources), liabilities or losses (collectively, “ Environmental Claims ”) which arise during or after the Term as a result of such contamination. This indemnification of Landlord by Tenant includes, without limitation, costs incurred in connection with any investigation of site conditions or any cleanup, treatment, remedial, removal, or restoration work required by any federal, state or local Governmental Authority because of Hazardous Materials present in the air, soil or ground water above, on, or under the Premises. Without limiting the foregoing, if the presence of any Hazardous Materials on the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property caused or permitted by Tenant or any Tenant Party results in any contamination of the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property, Tenant shall promptly take all actions at its sole expense and in accordance with applicable Environmental Requirements as are necessary to return the Premises, the Project or any adjacent property to the condition existing prior to the time of such contamination, provided that Landlord's approval of such action shall first be obtained, which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld so long as such actions would not potentially have any material adverse long­term or short-term effect on the Premises or the Project.
 
 

 
 
(b)   Business . Landlord acknowledges that it is not the intent of this Section 30 to prohibit Tenant from using the Premises for the Permitted Use. Tenant may operate its business according to prudent industry practices so long as the use or presence of Hazardous Materials is strictly and properly monitored according to all then applicable Environmental Requirements. As a material inducement to Landlord to allow Tenant to use Hazardous Materials in connection with its business, Tenant agrees to deliver to Landlord prior to the Commencement Date a list identifying each type of Hazardous Materials to be brought upon, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises and setting forth any and all governmental approvals or permits required in connection with the presence, use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of such Hazardous Materials on or from the Premises (“ Hazardous Materials List ”). Tenant shall deliver to Landlord an updated Hazardous Materials List at least once a year and shall also deliver an updated list before any new Hazardous Material is brought onto, kept, used, stored, handled, treated, generated on, or released or disposed of from, the Premises. Tenant shall deliver to Landlord true and correct copies of the following documents (the “ Haz Mat Documents ”) relating to the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials prior to the Commencement Date, or if unavailable at that time, concurrent with the receipt from or submission to a Governmental Authority: permits; approvals; reports and correspondence; storage and management plans, notice of violations of any Legal Requirements; plans relating to the installation of any storage tanks to be installed in or under the Project (provided, said installation of tanks shall only be permitted after Landlord has given Tenant its written consent to do so, which consent may be withheld in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion); all closure plans or any other documents required by any and all federal, state and local Governmental Authorities for any storage tanks installed in, on or under the Project for the closure of any such tanks; and a Surrender Plan (to the extent surrender in accordance with Section 28 cannot be accomplished in 3 months). Tenant is not required, however, to provide Landlord with any portion(s) of the Haz Mat Documents containing information of a proprietary nature which, in and of themselves, do not contain a reference to any Hazardous Materials or hazardous activities. It is not the intent of this Section to provide Landlord with information which could be detrimental to Tenant's business should such information become possessed by Tenant's competitors.
 
(c)   Tenant Representation and Warranty . Tenant hereby represents and warrants to Landlord that (i) neither Tenant nor any of its legal predecessors has been required by any prior landlord, lender or Governmental Authority at any time to take remedial action in connection with Hazardous Materials contaminating a property which contamination was permitted by Tenant of such predecessor or resulted from Tenant's or such predecessor's action or use of the property in question, and (ii) Tenant is not subject to any enforcement order issued by any Governmental Authority in connection with the use, storage, handling, treatment, generation, release or disposal of Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, any order related to the failure to make a required reporting to any Governmental Authority). If Landlord determines that this representation and warranty was not true as of the date of this lease, Landlord shall have the right to terminate this Lease in Landlord's sole and absolute discretion.
 
 

 
 
(d)   Testing . Landlord shall have the right to conduct annual tests of the Premises to determine whether any contamination of the Premises or the Project has occurred as a result of Tenant's use. Tenant shall be required to pay the cost of such annual test of the Premises; provided, however, that if Tenant conducts its own tests of the Premises using third party contractors and test procedures acceptable to Landlord which tests are certified to Landlord, Landlord shall accept such tests in lieu of the annual tests to be paid for by Tenant. In addition, at any time, and from time to time, prior to the expiration or earlier termination of the Term, Landlord shall have the right to conduct appropriate tests of the Premises and the Project to determine if contamination has occurred as a result of Tenant's use of the Premises. In connection with such testing, upon the request of Landlord, Tenant shall deliver to Landlord or its consultant such non-proprietary information concerning the use of Hazardous Materials in or about the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party. If contamination has occurred for which Tenant is liable under this Section 30 , Tenant shall pay all costs to conduct such tests. If no such contamination is found, Landlord shall pay the costs of such tests (which shall not constitute an Operating Expense). Landlord shall provide Tenant with a copy of all third party, non-confidential reports and tests of the Premises made by or on behalf of Landlord during the Term without representation or warranty and subject to a confidentiality agreement. Tenant shall, at its sole cost and expense, promptly and satisfactorily remediate any environmental conditions identified by such testing in accordance with all Environmental Requirements. Landlord's receipt of or satisfaction with any environmental assessment in no way waives any rights which Landlord may have against Tenant.
 
(e)   Control Areas . Tenant shall be allowed to utilize up to its pro rata share of the Hazardous Materials inventory within any control area or zone (located within the Premises), as designated by the applicable building code, for chemical use or storage. As used in the preceding sentence, Tenant's pro rata share of any control areas or zones located within the Premises shall be determined based on the rentable square footage that Tenant leases within the applicable control area or zone. For purposes of example only, if a control area or zone contains 10,000 rentable square feet and 2,000 rentable square feet of a tenant's premises are located within such control area or zone (while such premises as a whole contains 5,000 rentable square feet), the applicable tenant's pro rata share of such control area would be 20%.
 
(f)   Underground Tanks . If underground or other storage tanks storing Hazardous Materials located on the Premises or the Project are used by Tenant or are hereafter placed on the Premises or the Project by Tenant, Tenant shall install, use, monitor, operate, maintain, upgrade and manage such storage tanks, maintain appropriate records, obtain and maintain appropriate insurance, implement reporting procedures, properly close any underground storage tanks, and take or cause to be taken all other actions necessary or required under applicable state and federal Legal Requirements, as such now exists or may hereafter be adopted or amended in connection with the installation, use, maintenance, management, operation, upgrading and closure of such storage tanks.
 
(g)   Tenant's Obligations . Tenant's obligations under this Section 30 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of the Lease. During any period of time after the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease required by Tenant or Landlord to complete the removal from the Premises of any Hazardous Materials (including, without limitation, the release and termination of any licenses or permits restricting the use of the Premises and the completion of the approved Surrender Plan), Tenant shall continue to pay the full Rent in accordance with this Lease for any portion of the Premises not relet by Landlord in Landlord's sole discretion, which Rent shall be prorated daily.
 
 

 
 
(h)   Definitions . As used herein, the term “ Environmental Requirements ” means all applicable present and future statutes, regulations, ordinances, rules, codes, judgments, orders or other similar enactments of any Governmental Authority regulating or relating to health, safety, or environmental conditions on, under, or about the Premises or the Project, or the environment, including without limitation, the following: the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act; the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act; and all state and local counterparts thereto, and any regulations or policies promulgated or issued thereunder.  As used herein, the term “ Hazardous Materials ” means and includes any substance, material, waste, pollutant, or contaminant listed or defined as hazardous or toxic, or regulated by reason of its impact or potential impact on humans, animals and/or the environment under any Environmental Requirements, asbestos and petroleum, including crude oil or any fraction thereof, natural gas liquids, liquefied natural gas, or synthetic gas usable for fuel (or mixtures of natural gas and such synthetic gas). As defined in Environmental Requirements, Tenant is and shall be deemed to be the “operator” of Tenant's “facility” and the “owner” of all Hazardous Materials brought on the Premises by Tenant or any Tenant Party, and the wastes, by-products, or residues generated, resulting, or produced therefrom.
 
31.   Tenant's Remedies/Limitation of Liability . Landlord shall not be in default hereunder unless Landlord fails to perform any of its obligations hereunder within 30 days after written notice from Tenant specifying such failure (unless such performance will, due to the nature of the obligation, require a period of time in excess of 30 days, then after such period of time as is reasonably necessary). Upon any default by Landlord, Tenant shall give notice by registered or certified mail to any Holder of a Mortgage covering the Premises and to any landlord of any lease of property in or on which the Premises are located and Tenant shall offer such Holder and/or landlord a reasonable opportunity to cure the default, including time to obtain possession of the Project by power of sale or a judicial action if such should prove necessary to effect a cure; provided Landlord shall have furnished to Tenant in writing the names and addresses of all such persons who are to receive such notices. All obligations of Landlord hereunder shall be construed as covenants, not conditions; and, except as may be otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Tenant may not terminate this Lease for breach of Landlord's obligations hereunder.
 
All obligations of Landlord under this Lease will be binding upon Landlord only during the period of its ownership of the Premises and not thereafter. The term “ Landlord ” in this Lease shall mean only the owner for the time being of the Premises. Upon the transfer by such owner of its interest in the Premises, such owner shall thereupon be released and discharged from all obligations of Landlord thereafter accruing, but such obligations shall be binding during the Term upon each new owner for the duration of such owner's ownership.

32.   Inspection and Access . Landlord and its agents, representatives, and contractors may enter the Premises at any reasonable time to inspect the Premises and to make such repairs as may be required or permitted pursuant to this Lease and for any other business purpose. Landlord and Landlord's representatives may enter the Premises during business hours on not less than 48 hours advance written notice (except in the case of emergencies in which case no such notice shall be required and such entry may be at any time) for the purpose of effecting any such repairs, inspecting the Premises, showing the Premises to prospective purchasers and, during the last year of the Term, to prospective tenants or for any other business purpose. Landlord may erect a suitable sign on the Premises stating the Premises are available to let or that the Project is available for sale. Landlord may grant easements, make public dedications, designate Common Areas and create restrictions on or about the Premises, provided that no such easement, dedication, designation or restriction materially, adversely affects Tenant's use or occupancy of the Premises for the Permitted Use. At Landlord's request, Tenant shall execute such instruments as may be necessary for such easements, dedications or restrictions. Tenant shall at all times, except in the case of emergencies, have the right to escort Landlord or its agents, representatives, contractors or guests while the same are in the Premises, provided such escort does not materially and adversely affect Landlord's access rights hereunder.
 
 

 
 
33.   Security . Tenant acknowledges and agrees that security devices and services, if any, while intended to deter crime may not in given instances prevent theft or other criminal acts and that Landlord is not providing any security services with respect to the Premises. Tenant agrees that Landlord shall not be liable to Tenant for, and Tenant waives any claim against Landlord with respect to, any loss by theft or any other damage suffered or incurred by Tenant in connection with any unauthorized entry into the Premises or any other breach of security with respect to the Premises. Tenant shall be solely responsible for the personal safety of Tenant's officers, employees, agents, contractors, guests and invitees while any such person is in, on or about the Premises and/or the Project. Tenant shall at Tenant's cost obtain insurance coverage to the extent Tenant desires protection against such criminal acts.
 
34.   Force Majeure . Landlord shall not be responsible or liable for delays in the performance of its obligations hereunder when caused by, related to, or arising out of acts of God, sinkholes or subsidence, strikes, lockouts, or other labor disputes, embargoes, quarantines, weather, national, regional, or local disasters, calamities, or catastrophes, inability to obtain labor or materials (or reasonable substitutes therefor) at reasonable costs or failure of, or inability to obtain, utilities necessary for performance, governmental restrictions, orders, limitations, regulations, or controls, national emergencies, delay in issuance or revocation of permits, enemy or hostile governmental action, terrorism, insurrection, riots, civil disturbance or commotion, fire or other casualty, and other causes or events beyond the reasonable control of Landlord (“ Force Majeure ”).
 
35.   Brokers . Landlord and Tenant each represents and warrants that it has not dealt with any broker, agent or other person (collectively, “Broker”) in connection with this transaction and that no Broker brought about this transaction, other than Applefield Waxman. Landlord and Tenant each hereby agree to indemnify and hold the other harmless from and against any claims by any Broker, other than the broker, if any named in this Section 35 claiming a commission or other form of compensation by virtue of having dealt with Tenant or Landlord, as applicable, with regard to this leasing transaction.
 
36.   Limitation on Landlord's Liability . NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING SET FORTH HEREIN OR IN ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT TO THE CONTRARY: (A) LANDLORD SHALL NOT BE LIABLE TO TENANT OR ANY OTHER PERSON FOR (AND TENANT AND EACH SUCH OTHER PERSON ASSUME ALL RISK OF) LOSS, DAMAGE OR INJURY, WHETHER ACTUAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL TO: TENANT'S PERSONAL PROPERTY OF EVERY KIND AND DESCRIPTION, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION TRADE FIXTURES, EQUIPMENT, INVENTORY, SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH, SCIENTIFIC EXPERIMENTS, LABORATORY ANIMALS, PRODUCT, SPECIMENS, SAMPLES, AND/OR SCIENTIFIC, BUSINESS, ACCOUNTING AND OTHER RECORDS OF EVERY KIND AND DESCRIPTION KEPT AT THE PREMISES AND ANY AND ALL INCOME DERIVED OR DERIVABLE THEREFROM; (B) THERE SHALL BE NO PERSONAL RECOURSE TO LANDLORD FOR ANY ACT OR OCCURRENCE IN, ON OR ABOUT THE PREMISES OR ARISING IN ANY WAY UNDER THIS LEASE OR ANY OTHER AGREEMENT BETWEEN LANDLORD AND TENANT WITH RESPECT TO THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF AND ANY LIABILITY OF LANDLORD HEREUNDER SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED SOLELY TO LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PROJECT OR ANY PROCEEDS FROM SALE OR CONDEMNATION THEREOF AND ANY INSURANCE PROCEEDS PAYABLE IN RESPECT OF LANDLORD'S INTEREST IN THE PROJECT OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY SUCH LOSS; AND (C) IN NO EVENT SHALL ANY PERSONAL LIABILITY BE ASSERTED AGAINST LANDLORD IN CONNECTION WITH THIS LEASE NOR SHALL ANY RECOURSE BE HAD TO ANY OTHER PROPERTY OR ASSETS OF LANDLORD OR ANY OF LANDLORD'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL LANDLORD OR ANY OF LANDLORD'S OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR CONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR INJURY TO TENANT'S BUSINESS OR FOR ANY LOSS OF INCOME OR PROFIT THEREFROM.
 
37.   Severability . If any clause or provision of this Lease is illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present or future laws, then and in that event, it is the intention of the parties hereto that the remainder of this Lease shall not be affected thereby. It is also the intention of the parties to this Lease that in lieu of each clause or provision of this Lease that is illegal, invalid or unenforceable, there be added, as a part of this Lease, a clause or provision as similar in effect to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable clause or provision as shall be legal, valid and enforceable.
 
 

 
 
38.   Signs; Exterior Appearance . Tenant shall not, without the prior written consent of Landlord, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion: (i) attach any awnings, exterior lights, decorations, balloons, flags, pennants, banners, painting or other projection to any outside wall of the Project, (ii) use any curtains, blinds, shades or screens other than Landlord's standard window coverings, (iii) coat or otherwise sunscreen the interior or exterior of any windows, (iv) place any bottles, parcels, or other articles on the window sills, (v) place any equipment, furniture or other items of personal property on any exterior balcony, or (vi) paint, affix or exhibit on any part of the Premises or the Project any signs, notices, window or door lettering, placards, decorations, or advertising media of any type which can be viewed from the exterior of the Premises. Interior signs on doors and the directory tablet shall be inscribed, painted or affixed for Tenant by Landlord at the sole cost and expense of Tenant, and shall be of a size, color and type acceptable to Landlord. Nothing may be placed on the exterior of corridor walls or corridor doors other than Landlord's standard lettering. The directory tablet shall be provided exclusively for the display of the name and location of tenants.
 
39 .   Landlord's Right to Relocate Tenant . Landlord shall have the right to relocate Tenant, upon 90 days' prior written notice, from all or part of the Premises to another area in the Project designated by Landlord (the “Relocation Premises”), provided that: (a) the size of the Relocation Premises is at least equal to the size of the Premises; and, (b) Landlord pays the reasonable costs of moving Tenant and improving the Relocation Premises to a substantially similar standard as that of the Premises, and reimburses Tenant for all reasonable costs directly incurred by Tenant as a result of relocation, including without limitation all costs incurred by Tenant replacing Tenant's letterhead, promotional materials, business cards and similar items. Tenant shall cooperate with Landlord in all reasonable ways to facilitate relocation.
 
40 .   Right to Expand .
 
(a)   Right of First Offer . Tenant shall have the right, but not the obligation, to expand the Premises (the “Expansion Right”) to include the Expansion Premises upon the terms and conditions in this Section. For purposes of this Section 40(a) “Expansion Premises” shall mean that certain space in the Project, commonly known as Rooms 134, 133 and 167, containing approximately 655 rentable square feet, as shown on Exhibit A, which is not occupied by a tenant or which is occupied by an existing tenant whose lease is expiring within 6 months or less and such tenant does not wish to renew (whether or not such tenant has a right to renew) its occupancy of such space. If the Expansion Premises shall become available, Landlord shall, at such time as Landlord shall elect so long as Tenant's rights hereunder are preserved, deliver to Tenant written notice (the “ Expansion Notice ”) of the availability of such Expansion Premises, together with the terms and conditions on which Landlord is prepared to lease Tenant such Expansion Premises. Tenant shall be entitled to exercise its Expansion Right under the terms of this Section 40(a) only with respect to the entire Expansion Premises identified in the Expansion Notice. Tenant shall have 5 business days following delivery of the Expansion Notice to deliver to Landlord written notification of Tenant's exercise of the Expansion Right (“ Acceptance Notice ”). Provided that no right to expand is exercised by any tenant with superior rights, Tenant shall be entitled to lease such Expansion Premises upon the terms and conditions set forth in the Expansion Notice. Tenant's failure to deliver an Acceptance Notice to Landlord within the 5 business day period provided for above shall be deemed to be an election by Tenant not to exercise Tenant's Expansion Right with respect to the Expansion Space, in which case Tenant shall have no further rights under this Section 40(a) , this Section 40(a) shall be null and void and of no further force or effect, and Landlord shall have the right to lease the Expansion Space to any third party on any terms and conditions acceptable to Landlord.
 
(b)   Amended Lease . If: (i) Tenant fails to timely deliver notice accepting the terms of an Expansion Notice, or (ii) after the expiration of a period of 10 days after Tenant's delivery of an Acceptance Notice, no lease amendment or lease agreement for the Expansion Premises, acceptable to both parties each in their sole and absolute discretion, has been executed, Tenant shall be deemed to have waived its right to lease such Expansion Premises.
 
 

 
 
(c)   Exceptions . Notwithstanding the above, the Expansion Right shall, at Landlord's option, not be in effect and may not be exercised by Tenant:
 
(i)   during any period of time that Tenant is in Default under any provision of the Lease; or
 
(ii)   if Tenant has been in Default under any provision of the Lease 3 or more times, whether or not the Defaults are cured, during the 12 month period prior to the date on which Tenant seeks to exercise the Expansion Right.
 

(d)   Termination . The Expansion Right shall, at Landlord's option, terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant's due and timely exercise of the Expansion Right, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the lease of such Expansion Premises, (i) Tenant fails to timely cure any default by Tenant under the Lease; or (ii) Tenant has Defaulted 3 or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of the Expansion Right to the date of the commencement of the lease of the Expansion Premises, whether or not such Defaults are cured.
 
(e)   Rights Personal . Expansion Rights are personal to Tenant and are not assignable without Landlord's consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion separate and apart from any consent by Landlord to an assignment of Tenant's interest in the Lease.
 
(f)   No Extensions . The period of time within which any Expansion Rights may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant's inability to exercise the Expansion Rights.
 
41.   Right to Extend Term . Tenant shall have the right to extend the Term of the Lease upon the following terms and conditions:
 
(a)   Extension Right . Tenant shall have 1 right (an “Extension Right”) to extend the term of this Lease for 3 years (an “Extension Term”) on the same terms and conditions as this Lease (other than with respect to Base Rent) by giving Landlord written notice of its election to exercise the Extension Right at least 9 months prior to the expiration of the Base Term of the Lease.
 
Upon the commencement of the Extension Term, Base Rent shall be payable at the Market Rate (as defined below). Base Rent shall thereafter be adjusted on each annual anniversary of the commencement of such Extension Term by a percentage as determined by Landlord and agreed to by Tenant at the time the Market Rate is determined. As used herein, “Market Rate” shall mean the then market rental rate as determined by Landlord and agreed to by Tenant, which shall in no event be less than the Base Rent payable as of the date immediately preceding the commencement of such Extension Term increased by 103% multiplied by such Base Rent.

If, on or before the date which is 120 days prior to the expiration of the Base Term of this Lease, Tenant has not agreed with Landlord's determination of the Market Rate and the rent escalations during the Extension Term after negotiating in good faith, Tenant shall be deemed to have elected arbitration as described in Section 41(b) . Tenant acknowledges and agrees that, if Tenant has elected to exercise the Extension Right by delivering notice to Landlord as required in this Section 41(a) , Tenant shall have no right thereafter to rescind or elect not to extend the term of the Lease for the Extension Term.

(b)   Arbitration .
 
(i)   Within 10 days of Tenant's notice to Landlord of its election (or deemed election) to arbitrate Market Rate and escalations, each party shall deliver to the other a proposal containing the Market Rate and escalations that the submitting party believes to be correct (“ Extension Proposal ”). If either party fails to timely submit an Extension Proposal, the other party's submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent and escalations for the Extension Term. If both parties submit Extension Proposals, then Landlord and Tenant shall meet within 7 days after delivery of the last Extension Proposal and make a good faith attempt to mutually appoint a single Arbitrator (and defined below) to determine the Market Rate and escalations. If Landlord and Tenant are unable to agree upon a single Arbitrator, then each shall, by written notice delivered to the other within 10 days after the meeting, select an Arbitrator. If either party fails to timely give notice of its selection for an Arbitrator, the other party's submitted proposal shall determine the Base Rent for the Extension Term. The 2 Arbitrators so appointed shall, within 5 business days after their appointment, appoint a third Arbitrator. If the 2 Arbitrators so selected cannot agree on the selection of the third Arbitrator within the time above specified, then either party, on behalf of both parties, may request such appointment of such third Arbitrator by application to any state court of general jurisdiction in the jurisdiction in which the Premises are located, upon 10 days prior written notice to the other party of such intent.
 
 

 
 
(ii)   The decision of the Arbitrator(s) shall be made within 30 days after the appointment of a single Arbitrator or the third Arbitrator, as applicable. The decision of the single Arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. The average of the two closest Arbitrators in a three Arbitrator panel shall be final and binding upon the parties. Each party shall pay the fees and expenses of the Arbitrator appointed by or on behalf of such party and the fees and expenses of the third Arbitrator shall be borne equally by both parties. If the Market Rate and escalations are not determined by the first day of the Extension Term, then Tenant shall pay Landlord Base Rent in an amount equal to the Base Rent in effect immediately prior to the Extension Term and increased by the Rent Adjustment Percentage until such determination is made. After the determination of the Market Rate and escalations, the parties shall make any necessary adjustments to such payments made by Tenant. Landlord and Tenant shall then execute an amendment recognizing the Market Rate and escalations for the Extension Term.
 
(iii)   An “ Arbitrator ” shall be any person appointed by or on behalf of either party or appointed pursuant to the provisions hereof and: (i) shall be (A) a member of the American Institute of Real Estate Appraisers with not less than 10 years of experience in the appraisal of improved office and high tech industrial real estate in the greater Jupiter metropolitan area, or (B) a licensed commercial real estate broker with not less than 15 years experience representing landlords and/or tenants in the leasing of high tech or life sciences space in the greater Jupiter metropolitan area, (ii) devoting substantially all of their time to professional appraisal or brokerage work, as applicable, at the time of appointment and (iii) be in all respects impartial and disinterested.
 
(c)   Rights Personal . The Extension Right is personal to Tenant and is not assignable without Landlord's consent, which may be granted or withheld in Landlord's sole discretion separate and apart from any consent by Landlord to an assignment of Tenant's interest in the Lease.
 
(d)   Exceptions .  Notwithstanding anything set forth above to the contrary, the Extension Right shall not be in effect and Tenant may not exercise the Extension Right:
 
(i)   during any period of time that Tenant is in Default under any provision of this Lease; or
 
(ii)   if Tenant has been in Default under any provision of this Lease 3 or more times, whether or not the Defaults are cured, during the 12 month period immediately prior to the date that Tenant intends to exercise the Extension Right, whether or not the Defaults are cured.
 
(e)   No Extensions. The period of time within which the Extension Right may be exercised shall not be extended or enlarged by reason of Tenant's inability to exercise the Extension Right.
 
(f)   Termination. The Extension Right shall terminate and be of no further force or effect even after Tenant's due and timely exercise of the Extension Right, if, after such exercise, but prior to the commencement date of the Extension Term, (i) Tenant fails to timely cure any default by Tenant under this Lease; or (ii) Tenant has Defaulted 3 or more times during the period from the date of the exercise of the Extension Right to the date of the commencement of the Extension Term, whether or not such Defaults are cured.
 
 

 
 
42.   Shared Area .
 
(a)   License . During the Term, Landlord hereby grants to Tenant, and Tenant hereby accepts, a non-exclusive license (“ License ”) to use that certain area of the Project described as the “Shared Area” on Exhibit G attached hereto, subject to the terms and provisions of this Section 42 .
 
(b)   Use . Tenant shall exercise its rights under this Section 42 and use the Shared Area in a manner that complies with all applicable Legal Requirements and any and all rules and regulations which may be adopted by Landlord from time to time including, without limitation, any schedule(s) which may be implemented by Landlord for the use of the Shared Area by all parties entitled to use the same.
 
Tenant shall use the Shared Area in a manner that will not interfere with the rights of any other tenants, other licensees or Landlord's service providers. Landlord assumes no responsibility for enforcing Tenant's rights or for protecting the Shared Area from interference or use from any person including, without limitation, other tenants or licensees of the Project. Landlord may terminate the License granted to Tenant hereunder at any time during the Term for Tenant's failure to comply with the terms of this Section 42 or any rules and regulations adopted by Landlord with respect to the Shared Area.

(c)   Relocation and Modification of Shared Area . Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord shall have the right at any time and from time to time to reconfigure, relocate, modify or remove the Shared Area and/or to revise, expand or discontinue any of the services (if any) provided therein, and to add, change, reconfigure, remove or relocate any of the Equipment (as hereinafter defined) located therein. If Landlord ceases to maintain the existence of the Shared Area, the rights granted to Tenant pursuant to this Section 42 shall terminate.
 
(d)   Waiver .
 
(i)   Landlord's sole obligation for providing any equipment, systems, furnishings or personal property to the Shared Area whether or not affixed to the Building (collectively, “Equipment”) shall be (i) to provide such Equipment as is determined by Landlord in its sole and absolute discretion, and (ii) to contract with a third party to maintain the Equipment that is deemed by Landlord (in its sole and absolute discretion) to need periodic maintenance per the manufacturer's standard maintenance guidelines. Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with operational Equipment, back-up Equipment or back-up utilities or to supervise, oversee or confirm that the third party maintaining the Equipment is maintaining the Equipment as per the manufacturer's standard guidelines or otherwise. During any period of replacement, repair or maintenance of the Equipment when such Equipment is not operational, including any delays thereto due to the inability to obtain parts or replacements, Landlord shall have no obligation to provide Tenant with alternative or back-up Equipment. Tenant expressly acknowledges and agrees that Landlord does not guaranty that the Equipment will be operational at all times, will function or perform adequately and Landlord shall not be liable for any damages resulting from the failure of such Equipment.
 
(ii)   Tenant acknowledges and agrees that there are no warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, made by Landlord or otherwise with respect to the Shared Area or any Equipment or services (if any) provided therein, and Tenant disclaims any and all such warranties.
 
(e)   Tenant acknowledges and agrees that Landlord is under no obligation to provide any type of instruction or implement any training programs relating to the use of the Shared Area for Tenant or any other parties entitled to use the Shared Area.

The normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Lease or any exhibits or amendments hereto. Words of any gender used in this Lease shall be held and construed to include any other gender, and words in the singular number shall be held to include the plural, unless the context otherwise requires. The captions inserted in this Lease are for convenience only and in no way define, limit or otherwise describe the scope or intent of this Lease, or any provision hereof, or in any way affect the interpretation of this Lease.
 
(f)   Not Binding Until Executed . The submission by Landlord to Tenant of this Lease shall have no binding force or effect, shall not constitute an option for the leasing of the Premises, nor confer any right or impose any obligations upon either party until execution of this Lease by both parties.
 
(g)   Limitations on Interest .  It is expressly the intent of Landlord and Tenant at all times to comply with applicable law governing the maximum rate or amount of any interest payable on or in connection with this Lease. If applicable law is ever judicially interpreted so as to render usurious any interest called for under this Lease, or contracted for, charged, taken, reserved, or received with respect to this Lease, then it is Landlord's and Tenant's express intent that all excess amounts theretofore collected by Landlord be credited on the applicable obligation (or, if the obligation has been or would thereby be paid in full, refunded to Tenant), and the provisions of this Lease immediately shall be deemed reformed and the amounts thereafter collectible hereunder reduced, without the necessity of the execution of any new document, so as to comply with the applicable law, but so as to permit the recovery of the fullest amount otherwise called for hereunder.
 
(h)   Choice of Law . Construction and interpretation of this Lease shall be governed by the internal laws of the state in which the Premises are located, excluding any principles of conflicts of laws.
 
(i)   Time .  Time is of the essence as to the performance of Tenant's obligations under this Lease.
 
 

 
 
(j)   OFAC . Tenant, and all beneficial owners of Tenant, are currently (a) in compliance with and shall at all times during the Term of this Lease remain in compliance with the regulations of the Office of Foreign Assets Control (“ OFAC ”) of the U.S. Department of Treasury and any statute, executive order, or regulation relating thereto (collectively, the “OFAC Rules”), (b) not listed on, and shall not during the term of this Lease be listed on, the Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons List maintained by OFAC and/or on any other similar list maintained by OFAC or other governmental authority pursuant to any authorizing statute, executive order, or regulation, and (c) not a person or entity with whom a U.S. person is prohibited from conducting business under the OFAC Rules.
 
(k)   Incorporation by Reference .  All exhibits and addenda attached hereto are hereby incorporated into this Lease and made a part hereof. If there is any conflict between such exhibits or addenda and the terms of this Lease, such exhibits or addenda shall control.
 
(l)   Entire Agreement . This Lease, including the exhibits attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement between Landlord and Tenant pertaining to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, letters of intent, negotiations and discussions, whether oral or written, of the parties, and there are no warranties, representations or other agreements, express or implied, made to either party by the other party in connection with the subject matter hereof except as specifically set forth herein.
 
(m)   No Accord and Satisfaction . No payment by Tenant or receipt by Landlord of a lesser amount than the monthly installment of Base Rent or any Additional Rent will be other than on account of the earliest stipulated Base Rent and Additional Rent, nor will any endorsement or statement on any check or letter accompanying a check for payment of any Base Rent or Additional Rent be an accord and satisfaction. Landlord may accept such check or payment without prejudice to Landlord's right to recover the balance of such Rent or to pursue any other remedy provided in this Lease.
 
(n )   Hazardous Activities .  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease, Landlord, for itself and its employees, agents and contractors, reserves the right to refuse to perform any repairs or services in any portion of the Premises which, pursuant to Tenant's routine safety guidelines, practices or custom or prudent industry practices, require any form of protective clothing or equipment other than safety glasses. In any such case, Tenant shall contract with parties who are acceptable to Landlord, in Landlord's reasonable discretion, for all such repairs and services, and Landlord shall, to the extent required, equitably adjust Tenant's Share of Operating Expenses in respect of such repairs or services to reflect that Landlord is not providing such repairs or services to Tenant.
 
(o)   Radon Disclosure . Radon is a naturally occurring radioactive gas that, when it has accumulated in a building in sufficient quantities, may present health risks to persons who are exposed to it over time. Levels of radon that exceed federal and state guidelines have been found in buildings in Florida. Additional information regarding radon and radon testing may be obtained from your county public health unit.

The relationship created hereunder is that of the Consultant acting as an independent contractor.  It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that neither the Consultant nor Adler shall have any authority to bind the Company to any agreement or obligation with any third party.  Each of the Consultant and Adler acknowledges and agrees further that, since neither is an employee of the Company, the Company shall not be responsible for the withholding or payment of any taxes.
 
8.   Injunctive Relief .  Each of the Consultant and Adler acknowledges and agrees that, in the event it or he shall violate or threaten to violate any of the restrictions of Section 5 hereof, the Company will be without an adequate remedy at law and will therefore be entitled to enforce such restrictions by temporary or permanent injunctive or mandatory relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving damages or posting any bond or other security.
 
9.   No Restrictions .  Each of the Consultant and Adler hereby represents that neither the execution of this Agreement nor the Consultant’s performance hereunder will (a) violate, conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under the terms, conditions or provisions of any of the Consultant’s organizational documents, or any contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Consultant or Adler is a party, or by which it or he may be bound, or (b) violate any order, judgment, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Consultant or Adler.  In the event of a breach hereof, in addition to the Company's right to terminate this Agreement, each of the Consultant and Adler shall indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred or suffered in connection with or as a result of the Company's entering into this Agreement or engaging the Consultant hereunder.
 
 
 

 
10.   Investment Representations .   Each of the Consultant and Adler understands and agrees that the Company is relying and may rely upon the following representations and warranties made by them in entering into this Agreement:

(g)   Each of Quick and Olde Estate consents to the placement of a legend on the Shares stating that they have not been registered under the 1933 Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.  The Subscriber is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of the Shares.
 
(h)   THE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES AND ARE BEING OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS.  THE SHARES ARE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.  THE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.

3.   Position and Duties .  During the Employment Period, the Executive will serve in the position set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement and will render such managerial, analytical, administrative, financial and other executive services to, and shall have such responsibilities on behalf of, the Company and its Subsidiaries, as are from time to time necessary in connection with the management and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, in each case subject to the authority of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”) to define and limit such executive services.  The Executive responsibilities shall include, without limitation, those set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.  The Executive will devote substantially all of his/her business time and attention (except for permitted vacation periods and reasonable periods of illness or other incapacity) to the business and affairs of the Company and its Subsidiaries, provided that the Executive will be permitted to (i) serve, with the prior written consent of the Board (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld), as a member of the board of directors or advisory boards of charitable organizations, (ii) engage in charitable activities and community affairs, and (iii) manage his/her personal investments and affairs, except that the Executive will limit the time devoted to the activities described in clauses (i), (ii), and (iii) so as not to materially interfere, individually or in the aggregate, with the performance of his/her duties and responsibilities hereunder.  The Executive will perform his/her duties and responsibilities to the best of his/her abilities in a diligent, trustworthy, businesslike and efficient manner.  The Executive will report to the person set forth on Schedule A or such other person as is determined by the Board.
 
4.   Salary and Benefits .

(b)   Benefits .  During the Employment Period, the Company will provide the Executive with medical, dental, life, long-term Disability insurance and other benefits under such plans as the Board may establish or maintain from time to time for similarly situated employees.  The Executive will be entitled to the number of weeks of paid vacation each year set forth on Schedule A attached hereto.  To the extent that the Executive does not use all the vacation time in any year, calculated as of each anniversary of the date of this Agreement, the unused vacation may not be carried over to the next year.

5.   Termination .
 
(a)   The Employment Period will continue until the earlier of: (i) the Executive’s resignation for any or no reason; (ii) the death or Disability (which determination shall be made in good faith by a qualified physician selected by the Board or the Company’s insurers, subject to the Executive’s consent which shall not unreasonably be withheld); or (iii) the giving of notice of termination by the Company (A) for Cause or (B) for any other reason or for no reason (a termination described in this clause (iii)(B) being a termination by the Company “Without Cause”).
 
(b)   If the Company terminates the Employment Period Without Cause, then, so long as the Executive continues to comply with his/her continuing obligations hereunder, the Executive will be entitled to receive each of the following: (i) severance payments in an aggregate amount set forth on Schedule A to this Agreement (the “Cash Severance Amount”); and (ii) all accrued and unpaid Salary and unused vacation time for the then-current annual period (with the right to vacation time being pro rated for such period through the Termination Date) and all unreimbursed business expenses incurred through the Termination Date and payable pursuant to Section 4(c), which accrued and unpaid salary, unused vacation and unreimbursed expenses shall be payable in a lump sum within five (5) days after the Termination Date.  The Executive shall also be entitled to any COBRA benefits to which the Executive is entitled by law (at the Executive’s sole expense).
 
(c)   If the Employment Period terminates by reason of (i) the Company’s termination with Cause, or (ii) the Executive’s resignation, then the Executive (or his/her estate in the case of his/her death) will be entitled to receive the amounts specified in clause (ii) of Section 5(b), as well as any COBRA benefits to which the Executive is entitled by law (at the Executive’s sole expense).
 
(d)   The Cash Severance Amount will be paid in equal bi-monthly installments over the [ twenty-four (24) ] month period following the Termination Date in accordance with the general payroll practices of the Company and subject to all applicable withholding requirements; provided, however, that the payment of the Severance Amount shall be conditioned upon the Executive (i) executing and delivering to the Company a general release of all past and present claims against the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Form of Release”), within twenty-two (22) days of the date the Company delivers such general release (the “Release”) to the Executive, and (ii) not exercising the Executive’s revocation right during the period for revocation described in the Form of Release; provided, further, that, in the event of the Executive’s breach of this Agreement, then the Company’s obligation to pay the Severance Amount shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and the Executive shall be obligated to reimburse the Company for all Severance Amount payments previously made.  To the extent that Severance Amounts are payable, they shall be made or commence on the fortieth (40th) day following the Termination Date.  The first Severance Amount payment shall include all amounts that would have been paid following the Termination Date had the Release been effective immediately following the Termination Date but which were not yet paid.
 
(e)   Upon the Termination Date, the Executive will be deemed to have resigned from each position (if any) that he/she then holds as an officer or director of the Company or any Subsidiary, and the Executive will take any action that the Company or any Subsidiary may reasonably request in order to confirm or evidence such resignation.
 
(f)   Neither the termination or expiration of this Agreement nor the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, whether by the Company or the Executive, whether for cause or without cause, and whether voluntary or involuntary, shall affect the continuing operation and effect of Section 6 hereof, which shall continue in full force and effect according to its terms.  In addition, neither the termination or expiration of this Agreement nor the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, whether by the Company or the Executive, whether for cause or without cause, and whether voluntary or involuntary, will result in a termination or waiver of any rights and remedies that the Company may have under this Agreement and applicable law.
 
(g)   11.3           In the event of the termination of this Agreement or the Executive’s employment, whether by the Company or the Executive, whether for cause or without cause, and whether voluntary or involuntary, except as expressly provided for herein, the Executive shall not be entitled to any further compensation or benefits.
 
6.   Restrictive Covenants .
 
(a)   The services of the Executive are unique and extraordinary and essential to the business of the Company, especially since the Executive shall have access to the Company’s customer lists, trade secrets and other privileged and confidential information essential to the Company’s business.  Therefore, the Executive agrees that, as a material inducement to, and a condition precedent to the Company’s payment obligations hereunder and its other covenants herein, if the term of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall expire or the Executive’s employment shall at any time terminate for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, the Executive will not at any time within one (1) year after such expiration or termination (the “Restrictive Covenant Period”), without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, whether individually or as a principal, officer, stockholder, equity participant, employee, partner, joint venturer, member, manager, director or agent of, or lender, consultant or independent contractor to, any Person, or in any other capacity, other than on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company:
 
(i)   anywhere in the United States of America, engage or participate in a business which, as of such expiration or termination date, is similar to or competitive with, directly or indirectly, that of the Company, and shall not make any investments in any such similar or competitive entity, except that the Executive may acquire up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting stock of any entity whose securities are listed on a stock exchange or Nasdaq;
 
(ii)   cause or seek to persuade any director, officer, employee, customer, account, agent or supplier of, or consultant or independent contractor to, the Company or others with whom the Company has had a business relationship (collectively, “Business Associates”) to discontinue or materially modify the status, employment or relationship of such Person with the Company, or to become employed in any activity similar to or competitive with the activities of the Company;
 
(iii)   cause or seek to persuade any prospective customer, account, supplier or other Business Associate of the Company (which at the date of cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Company was then actively being solicited by the Company) to determine not to enter into a business relationship with the Company or to materially modify its contemplated business relationship;
 
(iv)   hire, retain or associate in a business relationship with, directly or indirectly, any director, officer or employee of the Company; or
 
(v)   solicit or cause or authorize to be solicited, for or on behalf of the Executive or any third party, any business from, or the entering into a business relationship with, (a) others who are, or were within one (l) year prior to the cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Company, customers, accounts or other Business Associates of the Company, or (b) any prospective customer, account or other Business Associate of the Company which at the date of such cessation was then actively being solicited by the Company.
 
The foregoing restrictions set forth in this Section 6 shall apply likewise during the Employment Period.
 
 

 
(b)   (i)           The Executive agrees to promptly disclose in writing to the Board all ideas, processes, methods, devices, business concepts, inventions, improvements, discoveries, know-how and other creative achievements (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Discoveries”), whether or not the same or any part thereof is capable of being patented, trademarked, copyrighted, or otherwise protected, which the Executive, while employed by the Company, conceives, makes, develops, acquires or reduces to practice, whether acting alone or with others and whether during or after usual working hours, and which are related to the Company’s business or interests, or are used or usable by the Company, or arise out of or in connection with the duties performed by the Executive.  The Executive hereby transfers and assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in and to such Discoveries (whether conceived, made, developed, acquired or reduced to practice on or prior to the date hereof or hereafter), including any and all domestic and foreign copyrights and patent and trademark rights therein and any renewals thereof.  On request of the Company, the Executive will, without any additional compensation, from time to time during, and after the expiration or termination of, the Employment Period, execute such further instruments (including, without limitation, applications for copyrights, letters patent, trademarks and assignments thereof) and do all such other acts and things as may be deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to protect and/or enforce its right in respect of such Discoveries.  All expenses of filing or prosecuting any patent, trademark or copyright application shall be borne by the Company, but the Executive shall cooperate in filing and/or prosecuting any such application.  For purposes of this Agreement, any Discovery shall be deemed to have been made during the Employment Period if, during such period, the Discovery was conceived or first actually reduced to practice, and the Executive agrees that any patent application filed by the Executive within one (1) year after a termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company shall be presumed to relate to an invention made during the Employment Period unless the Executive can establish the contrary.  The parties agree that the foregoing covenant does not apply to any invention of the Executive for which no equipment, supplies, facility or trade secret information of the Company was used and which was developed entirely on the Executive’s own time unless the invention relates to the business of the Company or to the Company’s actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or the invention results from any work performed by the Executive for the Company.
 
(ii)   The Executive acknowledges and agrees that, prior to the Executive’s employment by the Company, he/she did not conceive, make, develop, acquire or reduce to practice any Discovery which is related to the Company’s business or interests or is used or usable by the Company.

(ii)   The Executive agrees that he/she will not, at any time, remove from the Company’s premises any drawings, notebooks, data, magnetic tape, floppy disks, cd-roms or any other means of storing electronic data, or other Confidential Information relating to the business and procedures heretofore or hereafter acquired, developed and/or used by the Company, except where necessary in the fulfillment of the Executive’s duties hereunder.
 
(iii)   The Executive agrees that, upon the expiration or termination of his/her employment with the Company for any reason whatsoever, he/she shall promptly deliver to the Company any material relating to any Confidential Information or Discoveries, as well as all memoranda, notes, records, drawings, documents, or other writings whatsoever made, compiled, acquired, or received by the Executive during the term of his/her employment, arising out of, in connection with, or related to any activity or business of the Company including, but not limited to, the customers, suppliers, or other Business Associates, the arrangements of the Company with such parties, and the pricing and expansion policies and strategy of the Company, and the Executive further agrees that all of the above mentioned items are, and shall continue to be, the sole and exclusive property of the Company, and shall, together with all copies thereof, be returned and delivered to the Company within five (5) days of the termination of his/her employment, or at any time upon the Company’s demand.

(d)   The Executive agrees that, while he/she is employed by the Company, he/she will offer or otherwise make known or available to the Company, as directed by the CEO or the Board and without additional compensation or consideration, any business prospects, contacts or other business opportunities that the Executive may discover, find, develop or otherwise have available to the Executive in any field in which the Company is engaged, and further agrees that any such prospects, contacts or other business opportunities shall be the property of the Company.
 
(e)   For purposes of this Section 6, the term “Company” shall mean and include the Company and any and all Subsidiaries and Affiliates of the Company in existence from time to time.
 
(f)   In connection with the Executive’s agreement to the restrictions set forth in this Section 6, the Executive acknowledges the benefits accorded to him/her pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, the agreement on the part of the Company to employ the Executive during the Employment Period (subject to the terms and conditions hereof). The Executive also acknowledges and agrees that the covenants set forth in this Section 6 are reasonable and necessary in order to protect and maintain the proprietary and other legitimate business interests of the Company and that the enforcement thereof would not prevent the Executive from earning a livelihood.

8.   Deductions and Withholding .  The Executive agrees that the Company shall withhold from any and all payments required to be made to the Executive pursuant to this Agreement all federal, state, local and/or other taxes which are required to be withheld in accordance with applicable statutes and/or regulations from time to time in effect.
 
9.   Code Section 409A .
 
(a)   The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, “Code Section 409A”), and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.  To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the parties hereto of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.  In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the Executive by Code Section 409A.
 
 

 
(b)   A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits constituting deferred compensation under Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination of employment is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a termination of employment or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”  If the Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Executive, and (ii) the date of the Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”).  Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 9(b) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified herein.
 
(c)   All expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the Executive (provided that if any such reimbursements constitute taxable income to the Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were incurred), and no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.
 
(d)   For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.  Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within sixty (60) days”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.
 
(e)   In no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be offset by any other payment pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
 
10.   Representations and Warranties .  The Executive represents and warrants to the Company and its Subsidiaries that:  (a) the Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment, noncompete, nonsolicitation, nondisclosure, confidentiality or similar agreement with any other Person; and (b) this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Executive, enforceable against him/her in accordance with its terms.  The Company represents that this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.  All representations and warranties contained herein will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

GENERAL RELEASE
 
I, Mandy Clark, in consideration of and subject to the performance by Stem Cell Assurance, Inc., a Nevada corporation (the “Company”), of its obligations under the Executive Employment Agreement by and between the Company and myself, dated as of December 1, 2010 (as amended from time to time, the “Agreement”), do hereby release and forever discharge as of the date hereof, the Company and each of its subsidiaries, affiliates and predecessors (including, without limitation, and to the extent that they could be liable in respect of their position with any of the foregoing, each of the present and former managers, directors, officers, direct or indirect equity holders, agents, representatives, employees, subsidiaries, affiliates, predecessors, successors, assigns, beneficiaries, heirs, executors, insurers, personal representatives, and attorneys of the parties referenced in clauses (i) and (ii) above) (collectively, the “Released Parties”) to the extent provided below.
 
1.   I understand that any payments or benefits paid or granted to me under Section 5 of the Agreement represent, in part, consideration for signing this General Release and are not salary, wages or benefits to which I was already entitled.  I understand and agree that I will not receive the payments and benefits specified in Section 5(b) of the Agreement unless I execute this General Release and do not revoke this General Release within the time period permitted hereafter or breach this General Release.  I also acknowledge and represent that I have received all payments and benefits payment and provision of which were due to me, as of the date hereof, by virtue of any employment by the Company.
 
2.   Except as provided in paragraph 4 below, I knowingly and voluntarily (for myself, my heirs, executors, administrators and assigns) release and forever discharge the Released Parties from any and all claims, suits, controversies, actions, causes of action, cross-claims, counter-claims, demands, debts, compensatory damages, liquidated damages, punitive or exemplary damages, other damages, claims for costs and attorneys’ fees, or liabilities of any nature whatsoever in law and in equity, both past and present (through the date this General Release becomes effective and enforceable) and whether known or unknown, suspected, or claimed against any of the Released Parties which I, my spouse, or any of my heirs, executors, administrators or assigns, may have, which arise out of or are connected with my employment with, or my separation or termination from, the Company (including, but not limited to, any allegation, claim or violation, arising under: Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended; the Civil Rights Act of 1991; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967, as amended (including the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act); the Equal Pay Act of 1963, as amended; the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993; the Worker Adjustment Retraining and Notification Act; the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974; any applicable Executive Order Programs; the Fair Labor Standards Act; or their state or local counterparts; or under any other federal, state or local civil or human rights law, or under any other local, state, or federal law, regulation or ordinance; or under any public policy, contract or tort, or under common law; or arising under any policies, practices or procedures of the Company or any of its affiliates; or any claim for wrongful discharge, breach of contract, infliction of emotional distress or defamation; or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees incurred in these matters) (all of the foregoing collectively referred to herein as the “Claims”).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Release to the contrary, this Release does not encompass, and I do not release, waive or discharge, the obligations of any of the Parties (a) to make the payments and provide the other benefits contemplated by the Agreement, or (b) under any restricted stock agreement, option agreement or other agreement pertaining to my equity ownership, or (c) under any indemnification or similar agreement with me.
 
3.   I represent that I have made no assignment or transfer of any right, claim, demand, cause of action, or other matter covered by paragraph 2 above.
 
4.   I agree that this General Release does not waive or release any rights or claims that I may have under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967 which arise after the date I execute this General Release. I acknowledge and agree that my separation from employment with the Company in compliance with the terms of the Agreement shall not serve as the basis for any claim or action (including, without limitation, any claim under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act of 1967).
 
5.   In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied.  I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied.  I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement.  I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against any Released Party, or in the event I should seek to recover against any Released Party in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims. I further agree that I have not filed and am not aware of any pending Claim as of the execution of this General Release.
 
6.   I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.
 
7.   Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude me from participating or cooperating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other state or federal administrative agency.  However, in the event that a charge or complaint is filed against the Released Parties, or any of them, with any administrative agency or in the event of an authorized investigation, charge or lawsuit filed against the Released Parties, or any of them, by any administrative agency, I expressly waive and shall not accept any award or damages therefrom.
 
8.   Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any of my rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company after the date hereof of the Agreement if and to the extent those rights, in each case by their specific terms, survive termination of my employment with the Company.
 
9.   Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.  However, should Section 2 of this General Release be declared or determined by any tribunal, administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, and should I thereupon seek to institute any claims that would have been within the scope of Section 2, the Company shall be entitled to immediate repayment, and I shall immediately return, all of the severance payments that I have received, and the Company shall not be obligated to make any further severance payments.
 
BY SIGNING THIS GENERAL RELEASE, I REPRESENT AND AGREE THAT:
 
10.   I HAVE READ IT CAREFULLY;

WHEREAS , the Company desires to engage the Consultant to provide certain consulting services to the Company.
 
NOW, THEREFORE , in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto have agreed, and do hereby agree, as follows:
 
1.   Retention; Duties .  Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, the Company hereby retains the Consultant, and the Consultant hereby accepts such retention, to act as a consultant.  The Consultant shall provide the services set forth on Schedule A to and on behalf of the Company (the “Services”).
 
2.   Term .  The term of this Agreement shall commence as of April 7, 2011 (the “Effective Date”) and shall continue until December 31, 2011 (the “Term”).
 
3.   Compensation.
 
(a)   In the event that, during the Term, as a direct result of the efforts of the Consultant, the Company enters into (i) a written agreement with Cleveland Clinic (the “Clinic”) and/or Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine (the “Medical School”) with regard to a strategic alliance, sponsored research agreement, licensing of the Clinic’s or Medical School’s clinical application or the Company’s use of stem cell-related technologies or (ii) a letter of intent with the Clinic and/or the Medical School with regard to the foregoing and during the Term or thereafter a definitive written agreement consistent with the letter of intent is entered into by the Company with the Clinic and/or the Medical School, the Company shall grant to the Consultant, pursuant to the Company’s 2010 Equity Participation Plan (the “Plan”), options to purchase five million (5,000,000) shares of common stock of the Company, such options to be exercisable for a period of five (5) years from the date of grant at an exercise price equal to the Fair Market Value (as defined in the Plan) of the Company’s shares of common stock at the time of grant.  Under no circumstances shall the Company be obligated to enter into an agreement with the Clinic and/or the Medical School, it being understood that the Company may reject any and all proposals made by the Clinic and/or the Medical School with regard thereto for any reason whatsoever.
 
(b)   In the event that, prior to any grant of an option pursuant to paragraph (a) hereof, the outstanding common stock of the Company is changed by reason of any recapitalization, reclassification, stock split-up, combination of shares, reverse split, stock dividend or the like, an appropriate adjustment shall be made in the number of shares subject to such options.
 
(c)   In the event that, prior to any grant of an option pursuant to paragraph (a) hereof, the Company shall be reorganized, consolidated, or merged with another entity, then the options to be granted shall instead be for the same number and kind of shares of stock or the same amount of property, cash or securities as a holder of the number of shares of common stock issuable upon the exercise of such options would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of any such corporate event.
 
4.   Reimbursement of Expenses .
 
(a)   The Company will reimburse the Consultant for all reasonable expenses incurred by the Consultant in the performance of his duties during the Term.  In no event shall the Consultant incur expenses during the Term in excess of one thousand dollars ($1,000) in the aggregate without the prior written consent of the Chief Executive Officer of the Company.
 
(b)   The Consultant shall submit to the Company, not less than once in each calendar month, reports of such expenses in form normally used by the Company and receipts with respect thereto and the Company's obligations under this Section 4 shall be subject to compliance therewith.
 
5.   Discoveries; Confidential Information .
 
(a)   The Consultant agrees to disclose promptly in writing to the Chief Executive Officer of the Company all ideas, processes, methods, devices, business concepts, inventions, improvements, discoveries, know-how and other creative achievements (hereinafter referred to collectively as “Discoveries”), whether or not the same or any part thereof is capable of being patented, trademarked, copyrighted, or otherwise protected, which the Consultant, while retained by the Company, conceives, makes, develops, acquires or reduces to practice, whether acting alone or with others and whether during or after usual working hours, and which are related to the Company's business, or are used or usable by the Company, or arise out of or in connection with the services performed by the Consultant.  The Consultant hereby transfers and assigns to the Company all right, title and interest in and to such Discoveries, including any and all domestic and foreign copyrights and patent and trademark rights therein and any renewals thereof.  On request of the Company, the Consultant will, without any additional compensation beyond that provided for in Section 3, from time to time during, and after the expiration or termination of, the Term, execute such further instruments (including applications for copyrights, patents, trademarks and assignments thereof) and do all such other acts and things as may be deemed necessary or desirable by the Company to protect and/or enforce its rights in respect of such Discoveries.  All expenses of filing or prosecuting any patent, trademark or copyright application shall be borne by the Company, but the Consultant shall cooperate in filing and/or prosecuting any such application.  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the provisions of this paragraph (a) shall only pertain to Discoveries that relate to the Services.
 
(b)   The Consultant represents that he has been informed that it is the policy of the Company to maintain as secret all Confidential Information (as hereinafter defined) and further acknowledges that such Confidential Information is of great value to the Company.  The Consultant recognizes that, by reason of his consultant status with the Company, he has acquired and/or will acquire Confidential Information as aforesaid.  The Consultant confirms that it is reasonably necessary to protect the Company’s goodwill, and, accordingly, hereby agrees that he will not, directly or indirectly (except where authorized in writing by the Chief Executive Officer of the Company), at any time during the Term or thereafter divulge to any person, firm or other entity, or use, or cause or authorize any person, firm or other entity to use, any Confidential Information.
 
(c)   The Consultant agrees that, upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever, he shall promptly deliver to the Company any and all drawings, notebooks, software, data and other documents and material, whether in electronic format or otherwise, including all copies thereof, in or under his control relating to any Confidential Information or Discoveries, or which is otherwise the property of the Company.
 
(d)   For purposes hereof, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean all information given to the Consultant, directly or indirectly, by the Company and all other information relating to the Company otherwise acquired by the Consultant during the course of his engagement by the Company (whether on or prior to the date hereof or hereafter), including any and all knowledge and information with respect to secret or confidential methods, processes, plans, materials, customer lists or data, or otherwise with respect to any confidential or secret aspect of the Company’s business and/or activities, other than information which (i) was in the public domain at the time furnished to, or acquired by, the Consultant, or (ii) thereafter enters the public domain other than through disclosure, directly or indirectly, by the Consultant or others in violation of an agreement of confidentiality or nondisclosure.
 
(e)   All references in this Section 5 to the “Company” shall be deemed to include any and all subsidiaries and affiliates of the Company in existence on the date hereof and/or hereafter formed or acquired.
 
 
 

 
6.   No Participation in Employee Benefit Plans .  The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that, since the Consultant is a consultant, he will not be accorded the right to participate in or receive benefits under any pension, profit sharing, medical insurance or other plan or program of the Company either in existence as of the Effective Date or thereafter adopted for the benefit of its employees.
 
7.   Independent Contractor . The relationship created hereunder is that of the Consultant acting as an independent contractor.  It is expressly acknowledged and agreed that the Consultant shall not have any authority to bind the Company to any agreement or obligation with any third party.  The Consultant acknowledges and agrees further that, since he is not an employee of the Company, the Company shall not be responsible for the withholding or payment of any taxes.
 
8.   Injunctive Relief .  The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that, in the event he shall violate or threaten to violate any of the restrictions of Section 5 hereof, the Company will be without an adequate remedy at law and will therefore be entitled to enforce such restrictions by temporary or permanent injunctive or mandatory relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the necessity of proving damages or posting any bond or other security.
 
9.   No Restrictions .  The Consultant hereby represents that neither the execution of this Agreement nor the Consultant’s performance hereunder will (a) violate, conflict with or result in a breach of any provision of, or constitute a default (or an event which, with notice or lapse of time or both, would constitute a default) under the terms, conditions or provisions of any contract, agreement or other instrument or obligation to which the Consultant is a party, or by which he may be bound, or (b) violate any order, judgment, writ, injunction, decree, statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Consultant.  In the event of a breach hereof, in addition to the Company's right to terminate this Agreement, the Consultant shall indemnify the Company and hold it harmless from and against any and all claims, losses, liabilities, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred or suffered in connection with or as a result of the Company's entering into this Agreement or engaging the Consultant hereunder.
 
10.   Investment Representations .   (a) The Consultant understands and agrees that the Company is relying and may rely upon the following representations and warranties made by him in entering into this Agreement:
 
(i)   The Consultant recognizes that the acquisition of the shares of common stock issued upon the exercise of the options (the “Options”) that may be granted to him pursuant to Section 3 (the “Shares”) involves a high degree of risk and is suitable only for persons of adequate financial means who have no need for liquidity in this investment in that (i) the Consultant may not be able to liquidate his investment in the event of emergency; (ii) transferability is extremely limited; and (iii) he could sustain a complete loss of his investment.
 
(ii)   The Consultant represents that he (i) is competent to understand and does understand the nature of his investment in the Shares; and (ii) is able to bear the economic risk of  his investment in the Shares.

(iv)   The Consultant represents that he has significant prior investment experience, including investment in restricted securities.
 
(v)   The Consultant represents that he has reviewed all information regarding the Company that has been filed with the Pink OTC Markets.  The Consultant also represents that he has been furnished by the Company with all information regarding the Company which  he had requested or desired to know; that all documents which could be reasonably provided have been made available for his inspection and review; that he has been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from duly authorized representatives of the Company concerning the Company; and that he has had the opportunity to consult with his own tax or financial advisor concerning an investment in the Company.
 
(vi)   The Consultant represents that, in the event of the grant and exercise of any Options, the Shares will be acquired for his own account, for investment and not for distribution to others.  The Consultant agrees that he will not sell, transfer or otherwise dispose of the Shares, or any portion thereof, unless they are registered under the 1933 Act or unless an exemption from such registration is available.
 
(vii)   The Consultant consents to the placement of a legend on the Shares stating that they have not been registered under the 1933 Act and setting forth or referring to the restrictions on transferability and sale thereof.  The Consultant is aware that the Company will make a notation in its appropriate records with respect to the restrictions on the transferability of the Shares.
 
(viii)   THE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED, OR THE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATES AND, IN THE EVENT OF THE GRANT OF THE OPTIONS, WILL BE OFFERED AND SOLD IN RELIANCE ON EXEMPTIONS FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS.  IN THE EVENT OF THE GRNAT AND EXERCISE OF ANY OPTIONS, THE ISSUED SHARES WILL BE SUBJECT TO RESTRICTIONS ON TRANSFERABILITY AND RESALE AND MAY NOT BE TRANSFERRED OR RESOLD EXCEPT AS PERMITTED UNDER SAID ACT AND SUCH LAWS PURSUANT TO REGISTRATION OR EXEMPTION THEREFROM.  THE SHARES HAVE NOT BEEN APPROVED OR DISAPPROVED BY THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION, ANY STATE SECURITIES COMMISSION OR ANY OTHER REGULATORY AUTHORITY.  ANY REPRESENTATION TO THE CONTRARY IS UNLAWFUL.
 
(b)   In the event of the grant to, and exercise by, the Consultant of any Options, the Consultant shall be required, as a condition to the issuance of the Shares, to make the representations and warranties provided for in this Section 10 (updated to give effect to subsequent events).

(d)   The Cash Severance Amount will be paid in equal monthly installments over the twelve (12) month period following the Termination Date in accordance with the general payroll practices of the Company and subject to all applicable withholding requirements; provided, however, that the payment of the Severance Amount shall be conditioned upon the Executive (i) executing and delivering to the Company a general release of all past and present claims against the Company and its Subsidiaries substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Form of Release”), within twenty-two (22) days of the date the Company delivers such general release (the “Release”) to the Executive, and (ii) not exercising the Executive’s revocation right during the period for revocation described in the Form of Release; provided, further, that, in the event of the Executive’s breach of this Agreement, then the Company’s obligation to pay the Severance Amount shall terminate and be of no further force or effect and the Executive shall be obligated to reimburse the Company for all Severance Amount payments previously made.  To the extent that Severance Amounts are payable, they shall be made or commence on the fortieth (40th) day following the Termination Date.  The first Severance Amount payment shall include all amounts that would have been paid following the Termination Date had the Release been effective immediately following the Termination Date but which were not yet paid.

(f)   Neither the termination or expiration of this Agreement nor the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, whether by the Company or the Executive, whether for cause or without cause, and whether voluntary or involuntary, shall affect the continuing operation and effect of Section 6 hereof, which shall continue in full force and effect according to its terms.  In addition, neither the termination or expiration of this Agreement nor the termination of the Executive’s employment with the Company, whether by the Company or the Executive, whether for cause or without cause, and whether voluntary or involuntary, will result in a termination or waiver of any rights and remedies that the Company may have under this Agreement and applicable law.
 
(g)   In the event of the termination of this Agreement or the Executive’s employment, whether by the Company or the Executive, whether for cause or without cause, and whether voluntary or involuntary, except as expressly provided for herein, the Executive shall not be entitled to any further compensation or benefits.
 
6.   Restrictive Covenants .
 
(a)   The services of the Executive are unique and extraordinary and essential to the business of the Company, especially since the Executive shall have access to the Company’s customer lists, trade secrets and other privileged and confidential information essential to the Company’s business.  Therefore, the Executive agrees that, as a material inducement to, and a condition precedent to the Company’s payment obligations hereunder and its other covenants herein, if the term of the Executive’s employment hereunder shall expire or the Executive’s employment shall at any time terminate for any reason whatsoever, with or without cause, the Executive will not at any time within one (1) year after such expiration or termination (the “Restrictive Covenant Period”), without the prior written approval of the Company, directly or indirectly, whether individually or as a principal, officer, stockholder, equity participant, employee, partner, joint venturer, member, manager, director or agent of, or lender, consultant or independent contractor to, any Person, or in any other capacity, other than on behalf of or for the benefit of the Company:
 
(i)   anywhere in the United States of America, engage or participate in a business which, as of such expiration or termination date, is similar to or competitive with, directly or indirectly, that of the Company, and shall not make any investments in any such similar or competitive entity, except that the Executive may acquire up to one percent (1%) of the outstanding voting stock of any entity whose securities are listed on a stock exchange or Nasdaq;
 
(ii)   cause or seek to persuade any director, officer, employee, customer, account, agent or supplier of, or consultant or independent contractor to, the Company or others with whom the Company has had a business relationship (collectively, “Business Associates”) to discontinue or materially modify the status, employment or relationship of such Person with the Company, or to become employed in any activity similar to or competitive with the activities of the Company;
 
(iii)   cause or seek to persuade any prospective customer, account, supplier or other Business Associate of the Company (which at the date of cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Company was then actively being solicited by the Company) to determine not to enter into a business relationship with the Company or to materially modify its contemplated business relationship;
 
(iv)   hire, retain or associate in a business relationship with, directly or indirectly, any director, officer or employee of the Company; or
 
(v)   solicit or cause or authorize to be solicited, for or on behalf of the Executive or any third party, any business from, or the entering into a business relationship with, (a) others who are, or were within one (l) year prior to the cessation of the Executive’s employment with the Company, customers, accounts or other Business Associates of the Company, or (b) any prospective customer, account or other Business Associate of the Company which at the date of such cessation was then actively being solicited by the Company.

(a)   The intent of the parties is that payments and benefits under this Agreement comply with Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (together with the regulations and guidance promulgated thereunder, “Code Section 409A”), and, accordingly, to the maximum extent permitted, this Agreement shall be interpreted to be in compliance therewith.  To the extent that any provision hereof is modified in order to comply with Code Section 409A, such modification shall be made in good faith and shall, to the maximum extent reasonably possible, maintain the original intent and economic benefit to the parties hereto of the applicable provision without violating the provisions of Code Section 409A.  In no event whatsoever shall the Company be liable for any additional tax, interest or penalty that may be imposed on the Executive by Code Section 409A.
 
(b)   A termination of employment shall not be deemed to have occurred for purposes of any provision of this Agreement providing for the payment of any amounts or benefits constituting deferred compensation under Code Section 409A upon or following a termination of employment unless such termination of employment is also a “separation from service” within the meaning of Code Section 409A and, for purposes of any such provision of this Agreement, references to a termination of employment or like terms shall mean “separation from service.”  If the Executive is deemed on the date of termination to be a “specified employee” within the meaning of that term under Code Section 409A(a)(2)(B), then with regard to any payment or the provision of any benefit that is considered deferred compensation under Code Section 409A payable on account of a “separation from service,” such payment or benefit shall be made or provided at the date which is the earlier of (i) the expiration of the six (6)-month period measured from the date of such “separation from service” of the Executive, and (ii) the date of the Executive’s death (the “Delay Period”).  Upon the expiration of the Delay Period, all payments and benefits delayed pursuant to this Section 9(b) (whether they would have otherwise been payable in a single sum or in installments in the absence of such delay) shall be paid or reimbursed to the Executive in a lump sum, and any remaining payments and benefits due under this Agreement shall be paid or provided in accordance with the normal payment dates specified herein.
 
(c)   All expenses or other reimbursements under this Agreement shall be made on or prior to the last day of the taxable year following the taxable year in which such expenses were incurred by the Executive (provided that if any such reimbursements constitute taxable income to the Executive, such reimbursements shall be paid no later than March 15th of the calendar year following the calendar year in which the expenses to be reimbursed were incurred), and no such reimbursement or expenses eligible for reimbursement in any taxable year shall in any way affect the expenses eligible for reimbursement in any other taxable year.
 
(d)   For purposes of Code Section 409A, the Executive’s right to receive any installment payments pursuant to this Agreement shall be treated as a right to receive a series of separate and distinct payments.  Whenever a payment under this Agreement specifies a payment period with reference to a number of days (e.g., “payment shall be made within sixty (60) days”), the actual date of payment within the specified period shall be within the sole discretion of the Company.
 
(e)   In no event shall any payment under this Agreement that constitutes “deferred compensation” for purposes of Code Section 409A be offset by any other payment pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise.
 
10.   Representations and Warranties .  The Executive represents and warrants to the Company and its Subsidiaries that:  (a) the Executive is not a party to or bound by any employment, noncompete, nonsolicitation, nondisclosure, confidentiality or similar agreement with any other Person; and (b) this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Executive, enforceable against him in accordance with its terms.  The Company represents that this Agreement constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company, enforceable against it in accordance with its terms.  All representations and warranties contained herein will survive the execution and delivery of this Agreement.

5.   In signing this General Release, I acknowledge and intend that it shall be effective as a bar to each and every one of the Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied.  I expressly consent that this General Release shall be given full force and effect according to each and all of its express terms and provisions, including those relating to unknown and unsuspected Claims (notwithstanding any state statute that expressly limits the effectiveness of a general release of unknown, unsuspected and unanticipated Claims), if any, as well as those relating to any other Claims hereinabove mentioned or implied.  I acknowledge and agree that this waiver is an essential and material term of this General Release and that without such waiver the Company would not have agreed to the terms of the Agreement.  I further agree that in the event I should bring a Claim seeking damages against any Released Party, or in the event I should seek to recover against any Released Party in any Claim brought by a governmental agency on my behalf, this General Release shall serve as a complete defense to such Claims. I further agree that I have not filed and am not aware of any pending Claim as of the execution of this General Release.
 
6.   I agree that neither this General Release, nor the furnishing of the consideration for this General Release, shall be deemed or construed at any time to be an admission by the Company, any Released Party or myself of any improper or unlawful conduct.
 
7.   Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude me from participating or cooperating in any investigation or proceeding conducted by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission or any other state or federal administrative agency.  However, in the event that a charge or complaint is filed against the Released Parties, or any of them, with any administrative agency or in the event of an authorized investigation, charge or lawsuit filed against the Released Parties, or any of them, by any administrative agency, I expressly waive and shall not accept any award or damages therefrom.
 
8.   Notwithstanding anything in this General Release to the contrary, this General Release shall not relinquish, diminish, or in any way affect any of my rights or claims arising out of any breach by the Company after the date hereof of the Agreement if and to the extent those rights, in each case by their specific terms, survive termination of my employment with the Company.
 
9.   Whenever possible, each provision of this General Release shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this General Release is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect under any applicable law or rule in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision or any other jurisdiction, but this General Release shall be reformed, construed and enforced in such jurisdiction as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein.  However, should Section 2 of this General Release be declared or determined by any tribunal, administrative agency or court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal or invalid, and should I thereupon seek to institute any claims that would have been within the scope of Section 2, the Company shall be entitled to immediate repayment, and I shall immediately return, all of the severance payments that I have received, and the Company shall not be obligated to make any further severance payments.
 
BY SIGNING THIS GENERAL RELEASE, I REPRESENT AND AGREE THAT:
 
10.   I HAVE READ IT CAREFULLY;
 
11.   I UNDERSTAND ALL OF ITS TERMS AND KNOW THAT I AM GIVING UP IMPORTANT RIGHTS, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, RIGHTS UNDER THE AGE DISCRIMINATION IN EMPLOYMENT ACT OF 1967, AS AMENDED, TITLE VII OF THE CIVIL RIGHTS ACT OF 1964, AS AMENDED, THE EQUAL PAY ACT OF 1963, THE AMERICANS WITH DISABILITIES ACT OF 1990, AND THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED;
