The forward-looking statements are subject to certain risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those reflected in such forward-looking statements.  Factors that might cause such a difference include, but are not limited to, those discussed in the sections entitled “Business”, “Risk Factors”, and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.”  Readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which reflect management’s opinions only as of the date hereof.  We undertake no obligation to revise or publicly release the results of any revision of these forward-looking statements.  Readers should carefully review the risk factors described in this Annual Report and in other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission.
 
In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential,” “proposed,” “intended,” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. You should read statements that contain these words carefully, because they discuss our expectations about our future operating results or our future financial condition or state other “forward-looking” information. There may be events in the future that we are not able to accurately predict or control. You should be aware that the occurrence of any of the events described in these risk factors and elsewhere in this Annual Report could substantially harm our business, results of operations and financial condition, and that upon the occurrence of any of these events, the trading price of our securities could decline. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee future results, growth rates, levels of activity, performance or achievements.
 
Except as required by applicable law, including the securities laws of the United States, we do not intend to update any of the forward-looking statements to conform these statements to actual results. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report.
 
We cannot give any guarantee that these plans, intentions or expectations will be achieved. All forward-looking statements involve risks and uncertainties, and actual results may differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements as a result of various factors, including those factors described in the “Risk Factors” section of this Annual Report. Moreover, new risks emerge from time to time and it is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the impact of all risks on our business or the extent to which any risk, or combination of risks, may cause actual results to differ from those contained in any forward-looking statements. All forward-looking statements included in this Report are based on information available to us on the date of this Report. Except to the extent required by applicable laws or rules, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

ITEM 1.  BUSINESS
 
General

Trunity Holdings, Inc. (“Trunity” or the “Company”) is a Delaware corporation headquartered in Newburyport, Massachusetts. The Company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Trunity, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Trunity, Inc.”), also based in Newburyport, Massachusetts has developed a collaborative knowledge management, publishing and education delivery platform which provides an end-to-end solution for the rapidly growing e-textbook, e-learning, enterprise training, and education marketplaces. As a result of the platforms innovative multitenant cloud-based architecture, Trunity enables a unique integration of academic content with learning management systems. It allows content from multiple sources to be assembled into customized living textbooks and courseware and delivered with real-time updates directly to the student on any internet-enabled computer or smart mobile device. All content powered by Trunity is seamlessly integrated with learning management, social collaboration, standards and measurement tagging, real-time analytics, and royalty tracking functionality. The content is available to be purchased or shared via the Trunity Knowledge Exchange Store or within private communities powered by the Trunity platform. Content modularization capabilities allow products to be mixed and matched and purchased in whole or in part (similar to the iTunes model of purchasing individual songs and making custom playlists).

The Trunity Knowledge Exchange delivers quality content from various sources, such as traditional publishers, collaborative crowd-sourced communities, individual authors, teachers, as well as institutional repositories and content partners. Trunity’s platform currently hosts a growing community of over 4,300 expert contributors made up of the world’s top scientists and educators, who create peer-reviewed educational content. Trunity has customers both domestically but also internationally having won a significant national project to provide 1.5M students in Ukraine with its core learning management and Knowledge Exchange platform. Trunity also hosts many National Science Foundation (NSF) and NASA funded projects including The National Council for Science and the Environment (NCSE), University of New Hampshire EPSCoR, Encyclopedia of Earth (EoE) and Climate Adaptation and Mitigation E-Learning (CAMEL), all of whom also serve as core content contributors into the Trunity Knowledge Exchange. In addition, Trunity completed a significant project for The National Academy of Sciences to develop and deploy an online collaboration workspace for scientists to exchange and publish scientific findings from the investigation of declassified satellite earth imagery. We believe that Trunity’s cloud-based platform, which tightly integrates expert validated learning content with learning management (as described in greater detail below), is poised to make major inroads into the education marketplace.
 
Description of Products and Services

Trunity offers a Learning Content Management System (LCMS) that has been built from the ground up atop a robust knowledge gathering and management platform. This platform currently comprises four tightly integrated components:
 
 
1.
Content : functionality for collaboratively gathering, organizing and publishing knowledge content, such as for encyclopedias, knowledge bases and e-textbooks.
     
 
2. 
Learning Management : functionality for teaching and learning management, such as assignments, quizzes, exams, grading, and reporting.
     
 
3. 
Collaboration : functionality for collaboration and online social interaction, such as messaging, forums, commenting, rating, tagging and sharing.
     
 
4.
Trunity Knowledge Exchange : store functionality for distributing and monetizing living content, such as royalty tracking, real-time updates and analytics.
 
Connecting these components is an integrated core that includes identity/profile management, single sign-on, productivity dashboards, knowledge taxonomy management, content exchange, e-commerce and search functionality. Depending on the application, all or any subset combination or all of the functional components can be deployed for a specific customer solution. Also, the Trunity platform can be used as a stand-alone solution or may be integrated with existing data systems.

All components of content within the system are treated as assets – from textbooks and lectures to assignments to exams – and may be shared, modified and re-used effortlessly on a per-permission/policy/fee basis via Trunity’s integrated publishing and e-commerce infrastructure.

Content

Trunity’s platform brings authoring, peer review, and publishing workflow 100% online, allowing subject matter experts, publishers, and educators to contribute content, and create and assemble various types of education products from all digital media types including, text, audio, video, dynamic illustrations, html based applications, lesson plans, and exams etc. Product modularization capabilities improve the reusability of individual modules for a variety of purposes. Modules from various sources can be combined to create customized e-textbooks and courseware.

Learning Management

In addition to Trunity’s content capability, the platform facilitates learning for both 100% online and blended educational environments.   With features found in most existing learning management system (LMS) platforms, Trunity allows professors to manage their course schedules, administer exams and quizzes, provide and grade assignments and more.  The platform also allows students to collect all their grades, submit assignments and projects, and maintain them in a personal online profile.  An ePortfolio enables students to share selected items (such as projects) with other classmates or with potential employers.

Collaboration

The Trunity platform enables collaboration with several social networking features in the form of student-to-student, student-to-teacher, or teacher-to-teacher. Collaboration has been shown to greatly aid the learning process for students as well as instructors.  Whether it is the ability to rate content, add comments or engage in discussion forums, the Trunity platform is designed with the understanding that education works best when communication flows freely.  With this level of communication, course material and virtual textbooks can be updated in real-time if new information becomes available. Students can also see a list of their colleagues that are taking courses with them.  This fosters a community feel for the students from day one, whether the class is on campus or online.

Trunity Knowledge Exchange

The Trunity Knowledge Exchange allows content on the Trunity platform to be purchased in whole or in part. It allows content to be mixed and matched into customized e-textbooks and courseware (similar to the iTunes model of purchasing individual songs and making custom playlists). Customized courseware can be added to the Trunity Knowledge Exchange or made available in private communities powered by the Trunity platform. Automatic royalty tracking keeps track of payments to the original authors and curators according to the value of their contribution. When the original content source is updated, all instances of where that content is used within the Trunity Knowledge Exchange receive the update. Purchased content may also receive updates according to publisher mandate and user opt-in functionalities.

Transforming education and student engagement
 
·
giving teachers the ability to create and recombine content to deliver customized learning experiences
   
·
making content searchable by popular metrics and standards
   
·
integrating social collaboration, networking and learning management with the content/courseware

Transforming access to knowledge and learning
 
·
cloud-based platform provides access anytime, anywhere, on any device in the connected world
   
·
equal opportunity access to learning resources from the best and brightest authors and educators
 
The traditional publishing model lags in its timeliness to market and in its ability to remain up-to-date. Printed textbooks are expected to last anywhere from three to five years. For dynamic subjects such as environmental science, biology, engineering, medicine, law and political science, the majority of these textbooks are dated and contain factual errors by the time they are published. Also, single authoritative sources and the standardization of content does not address localization, differences in learning and teaching styles, or offer the breadth of voice that is a major requirement of the Common Core standard.
 
In contrast, Trunity’s crowd sourced publishing model offers educators access to a rich and dynamic source of educational content that can be customized to meet a full range learning abilities and teaching styles. While aiming to be internationally competitive, educational content can also be made both personal and local, bridging the gap between personal experience and formal instruction and a broader world view. Content on the Trunity platform maintains it's integrity through a quality and peer-review process.  Experts from around the globe who wish to contribute content and author on the platform go through an approval process where their credentials are verified. Once approved these experts, under their own names, may author and peer-review in the areas of their expertise. They may publish any size of resource from an entire book to a module containing a single learning concept and make these available in whole or in part on the Trunity Knowledge Exchange.

This content is then selected by teaching professionals to be incorporated into a virtual textbook that is assembled as needed. Through analytics tied to each content module, authors are able to see how their content is being used and to view comments. Author updates are available immediately. When the original content source is updated, all instances of where that content is used within the Trunity Knowledge Exchange receive the update. Educators can choose the updates they wish to include for their courses already in session. Purchased content within a student’s lifelong personal library may also receive updates according to publisher mandate and user opt-in functionality. Automatic royalty tracking keeps track of payments to the original authors and curators according to the value of their contribution each time a content module is purchased by or on behalf of a student. Trunity retains 30%-50% of the revenue, paying content contributors up to 70% of the royalty.

The flexible multitenant nature of the Trunity platform allows every customer instance to be customized, organized and branded according to the customer’s needs, while allowing content to be dynamically shared within and between organizations, as described above. The Trunity platform allows many types of inter- and intra-organization topologies to be created and dynamically updated, serving and keeping current with the evolving needs of customers. This functionality enables the creation of new and innovative solutions for customers such as schools, districts, textbooks publishers, government agencies, NGOs and businesses, and is the basis for Trunity’s integrated ecosystem-centric solution, as described below. To our knowledge, none of the above-described functionality is currently provided by any of our competitors.

Trunity has developed a highly differentiated patent-pending technology platform that integrates all of the essential web services in one fully hosted solution to capture, publish and socialize content. Key competitive features and functionality of the platform include:

Trunity Solutions and Applications

We believe that the unique architecture and capabilities of the Trunity platform enable new and innovative solutions and applications to be created to address longstanding problems and unmet needs within the education marketplace, some of which are described here. All items below, except for those specifically noted as “soon to be launched”, are currently available in use.

The core Trunity platform is offered to customers on a SaaS licensing basis. Trunity also offers the Knowledge Exchange store (both Trunity branded and white-labeled) and e-commerce functionality for purchase and sale of content (virtual textbooks, learning objects, etc.). In addition, Trunity provides professional services for customization, branding and deployment of customer solutions. Trunity also works with partners that provide professional services and/or provides the Trunity solution to customers on an OEM basis.

Trunity leverages these conditions by offering a collaborative knowledge management and publishing platform that dynamically brings together educational content from multiple sources with learning management functionality to deliver a fully integrated solution into the classroom. Course material or virtual textbooks can be created from a wide array of content types. These content types include:
 
·
Imported digital content from traditional textbook publishers (soon to be available)
   
·
Virtual textbooks created by authors using the Trunity platform
   
·
Custom content entered by professors and instructors
   
·
Crowd-sourced content (e.g. from repositories such as the Encyclopedia of Earth)

In addition to traditional print content, the Trunity platform supports multimedia files, teaching resources and social collaboration items such as discussion forums, blogs and comments specifically tagged to the content.
 
Content may be readily integrated into various types of applications, including virtual textbooks, courseware and learning management (the Trunity platform also enables third party learning management tools to be integrated into its solution as well).
 
Analytics, comments, and other metrics are available to authors and publishers in order to track, in real-time, how their content is being used in classrooms. This allows issues to be quickly identified and corrected on the fly. New editions are automatically made available without requiring any effort on the part of publishers or school systems to manage editions through the channel.
 
Textbook Authoring

The textbook market in higher education and K-12 is facing a significant transformation. As technology allows information to be created, updated and distributed more rapidly, we believe that the seemingly glacial pace of creating and delivering printed textbooks will soon become antiquated. What is needed is an approach that takes advantage of low cost computers and tablets along with increasing availability of high bandwidth that enables more information to live in ‘the cloud.’ At the same time, there is a strong desire from schools to tightly integrate learning content with learning management functionality, which heretofore has been delivered as a separate standalone solution.

 
9

 
 
Trunity provides next-generation online collaborative textbook authoring tools for authors (as well as publishers who wish to use this capability). Authoring can be done on a more traditional workflow basis, or it can be done on a collaborative crowd-sourced basis, complete with integrated peer review and editorial quality control. Schools, professors and course curators can use complete textbooks as the basis for courses or they can mix-and-match a la carte content from multiple textbooks to provide highly customized learning experiences. All delivery platforms, including Windows, MacOS, iOS, Android, Kindle are currently supported on the Trunity platform.
 
Authors/publishers control rights for their content, and, when a user within the system wishes to use the content (either through Trunity’s integrated Live Cross Publishing toolbar or via the Knowledge Exchange Store), the system automatically mediates the transaction and charges/distributes payments (authors/publishers set sharing policies in the interface when they publish content, which includes for free, by permission only, or for a fee; authors/publishers keep 50-70% of the fee, while Trunity charges a 30-50% transaction fee depending on agreement or relationship with the author or publisher). Users can pull content in this manner from multiple sources, mixing and matching content to create virtual textbooks and courseware, which in turn may be deployed and resold to other users, with the original authors automatically compensated through the system wherever their content is being used.

Content Collections

Trunity supports the creation of knowledge collections via crowd-sourcing of educational knowledge from subject matter experts. Content is reviewed, approved and organized via online peer and editorial review processes, combining the efficiency of crowd-sourcing with the quality assurance of traditional publishing methods. This content is searchable and accessible publically and can easily be integrated into virtual textbooks and courseware (as well as other content collections).

Trunity’s patent pending Live Cross Publishing technology allows easy exchange of content (by permission or for a fee) between any two customers using the Trunity platform and ensures that the author updates gets automatically revised wherever it is being used. This functionality assures that the content never goes out of date no matter where and how it is used, and saves schools and organizations the often massive cost of keeping content up to date.
  
 
10

 
 
Course Creation & Collaboration

With Trunity, courses can be created by leveraging content from textbook publishers, which can then be organized and customized by departments or instructors. Built-in navigation enables content to be organized into multi-layered modules or chapters, creating unified courseware that is fully integrated with the core online textbook content. Trunity offers collaboration through built-in forums, blogs and commenting support. Students can share questions, answers, comments, etc., on message boards that are only available to students within the class.
 
E-Commerce

Our e-commerce functionality is designed to track all sales in real-time, and reimburses authors, publishers and distributors accordingly. We believe that the white-label e-commerce functionality will soon allow universities and learning solution providers to integrate Trunity-powered content purchases into their offerings.
 
Solutions for Business

The same platform that enables a new style of learning environment for classrooms also serves businesses. Trunity enables companies to educate and engage their customers, business partners and employees. Companies and their customers converse through forums, with customers sharing experiences and establishing best practices. The company can solicit feedback with surveys and forums. Business partners can take exams to become certified to sell the company’s products, and employees can share project information, HR policies, training materials and more leveraging Trunity’s content management capabilities. As with the education market, all of this is provided in a Software as a Service (“SaaS”) environment, freeing the corporate IT groups to focus on mission critical applications.
 
Strategy

Trunity has both a viral as well as a more traditional sales/partnership marketing strategy. The value of the Trunity community grows with each additional customer that adopts the Trunity platform driving increased traffic, content and collaboration possibilities to other users on the network. Trunity is also partnering with significant system integration firms and channel partners. Trunity has developed significant partner’s to deliver digital content to schools in the US and around the globe. Trunity also is the beneficiary of many grants and partnerships with organizations like the NSF and NASA and leverages those to further its business. Much of Trunity's direct sales efforts focus on securing very large deployments of the platform, including whole country adoptions such as the OpenWorld project in Ukraine covering 1.5 million students in grades 5 th -9 th .

Market Opportunity

The North American market for online learning products will grow to $27.2 billion by 2016, up from the $21.9 billion reached in 2011, according to a new report by Ambient Insight called, "The North America Market for Self-paced eLearning Products and Services: 2011-2016 Forecast and Analysis." The traditional textbook publishing market exceeds $13 billion domestically alone. With the advent of the iPad and tablet computing, the entire industry is undergoing a massive market swing to electronic publishing. Even so, the dominant publishers still follow a traditional approach to authoring, editorial review, production and distribution of content, delivering e-textbooks that are essentially only electronic versions of the physical textbook. This conservative "status quo" approach does little to reduce costs and time-to-market, and doesn't take advantage of powerful capabilities that the new technology medium is able to offer, presenting a major market opportunity for Trunity's faster, less expensive, better integrated and much more powerful solution.
 
Trunity disrupts this entire model by crowd sourcing the content and allowing the professor teaching the class to select the content required and create an on-the-fly virtual textbook. This eliminates the publisher and allows scientists and experts to self-publish short articles or case studies giving students a much higher quality product. In addition to disrupting the traditional publishing and distribution model (e.g. by crowdsourcing and peer-reviewing educational content from subject matter experts and allowing educators to create from this content custom virtual textbooks complete with learning management and collaboration functionality).Trunity's "publishing marketplace" approach also provides traditional   publishers a neutral "publisher agnostic" channel to sell content into schools, whereby they can take advantage of the powerful functionality provided by the platform. Based on increasing demand by customers for functionality (e.g. mixing and matching content from different publishers into customized curriculum, etc.) that current publishers are unable meet, we believe this will be an increasingly attractive option for publishers as well as a significant added market opportunity for Trunity.
 
Our History

Trunity, Inc. was formed on July 28, 2009 through the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders, Terry B. Anderton, Dr. Joakim Lindblom and Les V. Anderton.  In early 2012, the Company became a publicly-traded company through a reverse merger with Brain Tree International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“BTI”).

BTI was incorporated on July 26, 1983 to specialize in the development of high technology products or applications including, but not limited to, electronics, computerized technology, new technological product fields, and precious metals.  At the time of the reverse merger, BTI was a shell company with no assets.

On January 24, 2012, Trunity Holdings, Inc. (“THI” or the “Company”), Trunity, Inc. (“Trunity”) and Trunity Acquisition Corporation (“TAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of THI, all Delaware corporations, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on January 24, 2012, TAC merged with and into Trunity, with Trunity remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of THI (the “Merger”). As consideration for the Merger, as of the closing of the Merger, (i) each of the 961,974 shares of common stock of THI owned by Trunity were cancelled, (ii) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Trunity was converted into the right to receive one share of the common stock of THI; and (iii) each share of TAC was converted into one share of Trunity common stock. As a result of the Merger, the former shareholders of Trunity hold 99% of the common stock of THI.
 
In order to facilitate the reverse merger transaction, immediately prior to execution of the Merger Agreement, Trunity acquired a 90.1% interest in Brain Tree International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“BTI”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with the three principal shareholders of THI, as a result of which Trunity acquired 961,974 BTI shares for the price of $325,000 plus 325,000 shares of Trunity common stock. As part of the transaction, on January 24, 2012, immediately prior to the Merger, BTI reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name from Brain Tree International, Inc. to Trunity Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the reincorporation, 105,064 minority shares of BTI automatically converted into the same number of shares of THI.

Description of Revenues Sources
 
Trunity derives the majority of its revenue from four sources: license revenue; professional services; transaction revenue from the sale of virtual textbooks and related content; and advertising within the Trunity domain.
 
Licensing Revenue – Trunity charges a subscription based license fee for the use of our Trunity Connect and Trunity Learn cloud-based software. Trunity charges on a per user basis between $5/user in the K-12 marketplace to $15/user in the higher education marketplace. We charge a flat fee on a monthly basis in the commercial enterprise sector ranging from $1,000 - $5,000/month depending on the number of users and other factors including bandwidth and storage requirements. We typically enter into a minimum of a one-year contract with both our educational and commercial enterprise customers.
   
Transaction Revenue – Trunity sells virtual textbooks, lesson plans and other related content through our on-line Knowledge Exchange content store. We do not own the content; however, we make a margin of 30 – 50% on all content sold through the Trunity Knowledge Exchange store. Trunity expects this source of revenue to be a significant source of future growth for the Company going forward.
   
Professional Services – Trunity provides specialized services and consulting to its customers. These services including data migration, creative and engineering services required to utilize our software products effectively. We charge between $85 to $200/hour based on the skill set and time commitment required by the customer.
   
Advertising Revenue – We have over 1,000,000 page views per month on knowledge collection sites hosted on the Trunity platform. Some of these sites are publicly available and host advertising provided currently by Google Adwords. This generates approximately $1,000/month in revenue.
 
Current and Potential Customers
 
Our customers include Ukraine Government’s Open World National Project, University of New Hampshire, Boston University, National Council for Science and the Environment, Westfield Bank of Massachusetts, among several others. We are aggressively pursuing new opportunities, as we will need to substantially increase revenues in order to achieve profitability. We have recently hired internal marketing and sales staff to accelerate our pursuit of new opportunities. Additionally, we hired BrandAid, a sales and marketing firm, to help us market ourselves and secure business in the pharmaceutical industry. We are also pursuing a reseller relationship with several significant systems integrators and resellers in the markets that we have targeted. We intend to work with large resellers to leverage their market presence and install bases.

Research and Development

The Company is in the development stage and it is presently undertaking research and development of its platform.  Trunity has spent approximately $1,833,714 on research and development during the last two fiscal years.  Based on our current state of development we anticipate exiting the development stage in the beginning of 2013.

Intellectual Property
 
Trunity relies on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark and trade secret laws, as well as confidentiality and invention agreements with its employees, independent contractors and clients to protect information which the Company believes is proprietary or constitute trade secrets.

In addition, Trunity has filed two patent applications (comprising eight unique concepts), which in 2012 were converted from provisional to full patent applications:
 
System and Method for Virtual Textbook Creation and Remuneration : United States Patent Application #13585948; filed August 15, 2012; inventors are Kevin H. Eaton, Halldor F. Utne, Joakim F. Lindblom; assigned to Trunity, Inc.
   
System and Method for Dynamic Cross Publishing of Content Across Multiple Sites : United States Patent Application # 13679007; filed November 16, 2012; inventor is Joakim F. Lindblom; assigned to Trunity, Inc.
 
We are working on four additional patent applications which we expect to file in 2013. There can be no assurance that any of these patents will ultimately be issued.
 
Competition

Trunity faces substantial competition from numerous other companies, most of whom have financial and other resources substantially greater than ours. Trunity’s principal competitors consist of educational publishing companies and open source platforms such as Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Pearson, McGraw-Hill, Blackboard, Inc., and Moodle. These and other competitors may prove more successful in offering similar products and/or may offer alternative products that prove superior in performance and/or more popular with potential customers than the our products. Trunity’s ability to commercialize its products and grow and achieve profitability in accordance with its business plan will depend on its ability to satisfy its customers and withstand increasing competition by providing high-quality products at reasonable prices. There can be no assurance that we will be able to achieve or maintain a successful competitive position.

Employees
 
As of April 8, 2013, Trunity has 10 employees, of which all are full-time employees.  None of our employees are represented by a labor union or subject to a collective bargaining agreement.

Consultants
 
In an effort to contain our initial operating expenses while gaining access to the specialized services we need to rapidly grow our company, we expect to rely heavily on outside consultants to provide us with a wide range of expertise. Our current consulting arrangements include:

·
In March 2012,  we entered into a consulting agreement with RCM Financial Consulting, principally owned by Nicole Fernandez-McGovern, to provide a variety of services to the Company, including general accounting compliance, internal and external financial reporting requirements, and treasury and management consulting. As compensation for these services, Trunity paid the firm approximately $93,000 based on hourly billings for services performed.  Ms. Fernandez-McGovern became the Company’s Chief Financial Officer in April 2013. We will continue to  use her firm’s services on an as needed basis for accounting personnel other than her.
   
·
In 2012, Trunity, Inc. e ntered into a consulting agreement with Magdiel Rodriguez to provide a variety of services as Chief Enterprise Risk Officer. Mr. Rodriguez is responsible for establishing the organizational structure for risk management, leading and overseeing  the implementation of programs, regulatory compliance and market requirements for Trunity’s e-commerce business and providing leadership and oversight of the overall security infrastructure of the Company
   
·
In 2012, Trunity entered into a consulting agreement with Peter Banks, to provide a variety of services as Senior Vice-President of Education. Dr. Banks extensive background as an educator will aid the Company in driving recruitment of new authors on the Trunity platform, thereby growing the content on the Trunity Knowledge Exchange.
   
·
In 2012, Trunity entered into a consulting agreement with American Capital Ventures to assist in their investor relations and financial marketing efforts, which we see as an imperative campaign given the Company’s recent entry into the public markets.
 
Management

Trunity’s management consists of experienced sales, marketing and engineering professionals from the networking, technology and software industry. Biographical and other information on our executive officers and directors is set forth in “Item 10. Directors, Executive Officers, and Corporate Governance” of this Report.

Impact of JOBS Act
 
On April 5, 2012, the Jumpstart Our Business Startup Act of 2012 (the “JOBS Act”) was enacted into law. Under the JOBS Act, Congress established a new statutorily defined category of registrant referred to as an “emerging growth company” (“EGC”) which, among other things, affords such registrants with relief from certain disclosure requirements under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) for so long as they continue to qualify as an EGC.
 
A registrant qualifies as an EGC if it has total annual gross revenues of less than $1 billion as of the end of its most recent completed fiscal year and has not filed for its initial public offering of common equity securities under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”) prior to December 9, 2011. Under this definition, we qualify as an EGC.
 
For so long as we qualify as an EGC: 
  
 
We will not be required to comply with the auditor attestation over internal control requirements under §404(b) of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“SOX”).
     
 
We may elect to comply with the following scaled-back executive compensation disclosure requirements (“Reduced Executive Compensation Disclosures”):  (a) EGCs are not required to comply with the annual “say on pay” and “say on golden parachute” advisory voting requirements and rules promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act (“Dodd-Frank Act”), (b) EGCs are not required to include the disclosures that will be required under future rules to be promulgated under the Dodd-Frank Act as to the relationship between executive compensation and company performance,  and the ratio of CEO pay to median employee pay, and (c) EGCs may elect to provide the same level of executive compensation disclosures as required by Smaller Reporting Companies (as defined under Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act and referred to herein as “SRCs”), which includes, among other things, the omission of Compensation Disclosure and Analysis discussion, inclusion of fewer tables, and disclosure of compensation for only the CEO and the two next highest paid officers.
     
 
We may elect on a one-time basis not to comply with new or revised accounting principles that apply to public companies, as long as we comply once the rules become applicable for private companies. We are required to make an irrevocable election which will continue for so long as we retain our status as an EGC status.
     
 
We will not be required to comply with any Public Company Accounting Oversight Board rules regarding mandatory audit firm rotation and auditor discussion and analysis should such rules be adopted.
 
As an EGC, we are not required to take advantage of all of the benefits made available to us under the JOBS Act described above, but may instead opt-in to certain of those scaled-back disclosures and phased-in requirements as we so desire. However, as discussed above, we are not permitted to selectively opt-in with respect to compliance with new or revised accounting rules or pronouncements. Accordingly, we have irrevocably elected to opt out of compliance with any new or revised accounting principles until any such rules become applicable to private companies.
 
Under the JOBS Act, we will retain our status as an EGC until the earliest of: (1) the last day of the fiscal year during which we have total annual gross revenues of $1,000,000,000 (as may be adjusted under the JOBS Act) or more; (2) the last day of the fiscal year following the fifth anniversary of the date of the first sale of our common equity securities pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act; (3) the date on which we have, during the previous 3-year period, issued more than $1,000,000,000 in non-convertible debt; or (4) the date on which we are deemed to be a “large accelerated filer” under Rule 12b-2 promulgated under the Exchange Act.
 
It should be noted that we also currently qualify as a SRC. As a result, in the event that we are no longer an EGC, we will continue to be exempt from the auditor attestation requirements of SOX and eligible to comply with the Reduced Executive Compensation Disclosures for so long as we qualify as a SRC. We also may elect to provide other scaled-back disclosures applicable to SRCs (not just those relating to Reduced Executive Compensation Disclosures).

ITEM 1A.  RISK FACTORS
 
Investing in our common stock is speculative and involves a high degree of risk. Prospective investors should carefully consider the following risks and uncertainties and all other information contained or referred to in this Annual Report before investing in our common stock. We believe that the risks and uncertainties described below are all of the material risks we face; however, additional risks and uncertainties that we are unaware of, or that we currently deem immaterial, also may become important factors that affect us. Our business, financial condition or results of operations could be materially and adversely affected by some or all of the matters described below or other currently unknown factors. In that case, the value of our Common Stock could decline, and investors could lose all of their investment.
 
Risks Related to Our Business
 
General; We Have Limited Operating History.
 
Trunity was formed in 2009 and has a limited operating history with substantial operating losses. The Company has yet to generate any significant revenues, and the commercial value of its products and services is uncertain. There can be no assurance that the Company will ever be profitable. Further, the Company is subject to all the risks inherent in a new business including, but not limited to: intense competition, lack of sufficient capital, loss of protection of proprietary technology and trade secrets, difficulties in commercializing its products, managing growth and hiring and retaining key employees; adverse changes in costs and general business and economic conditions; and the need to achieve product acceptance, to enter and develop new markets and to develop and maintain successful relationships with customers.
 
 
17

 
 
Intellectual Property .
 
The Company relies primarily on a combination of trade secrets, patents, copyright and trademark laws, and confidentiality procedures to protect its proprietary technology, which is its principal asset.
 
The Company’s ability to compete effectively will depend to a large extent on its success in protecting its proprietary technology, both in the United States and abroad. There can be no assurance that (i) any patent that the Company applies for will be issued, (ii) any patents issued will not be challenged, invalidated, or circumvented, (iii) that the Company will have the financial resources to enforce its patents or (iv)the patent rights granted will provide any competitive advantage. The Company could incur substantial costs in defending any patent infringement suits or in asserting its patent rights, including those granted by third parties, and the Company might not be able to afford such expenditures.
 
Although the Company has entered into confidentiality and invention agreements with its key personnel, there can be no assurance that these agreements will be honored or that the Company will be able to protect its rights to its non-patented trade secrets and know-how effectively. There can be no assurance that competitors will not independently develop substantially equivalent or superior proprietary information and techniques or otherwise gain access to the Company’s trade secrets and know-how. In addition, the Company may be required to obtain licenses to patents or other proprietary rights from third parties. If the Company does not obtain required licenses, it could encounter delays in product development or find that the development, manufacture or sale of products requiring these licenses could be foreclosed.
 
Need for Additional Funds.
 
We currently have enough cash on hand or commitments from investors to fund operations for approximately the next two months. Consequently, we are in the process of raising substantial additional funds. Without such additional funds, we may have to cease operations. The Company will require substantial additional funding for its contemplated research and development activities, commercialization of its products and services and ordinary operating expenses. Adequate funds for these purposes may not be available when needed or on terms acceptable to the Company. Insufficient funds may require the Company to delay or scale back its activities or to cease operations.
 
Going Concern.
 
The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flow since its inception. To the extent the Company may have negative cash flows in the future, it will continue to require additional capital to fund operations. The Company obtained additional capital investments under various debt and common stock issues. Although management continues to pursue its financing plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient revenues to generate positive cash flow. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.
  
 
18

 
 
Competition.
 
The Company faces substantial competition from numerous other companies, most of whom have financial and other resources substantially greater than those of the Company. The Company’s principal competitors consist of educational publishing companies and open source platforms such as Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, Pearson, Blackboard, Inc., and Moodle. These and other competitors may prove more successful in offering similar products and/or may offer alternative products that prove superior in performance and/or more popular with potential customers than the Company’s products. The Company’s ability to commercialize its products and grow and achieve profitability in accordance with its business plan will depend on its ability to satisfy its customers and withstand increasing competition by providing high-quality products at reasonable prices. There can be no assurance that the Company will be able to achieve or maintain a successful competitive position.
 
Operational failures in our network infrastructure could disrupt our remote hosting and application services, could cause us to lose clients, sales to potential clients and could result in increased expenses and reduced revenues.
 
Unanticipated problems affecting our network systems could cause interruptions or delays in the delivery of the hosting services and other application services we provide to some of our clients. We provide remote hosting and other application services through computer hardware that is currently located in third-party co-location facilities in various locations in the United States. We do not control the operation of these co-location facilities. Lengthy interruptions in our hosting service or other application services could be caused by the occurrence of a natural disaster, power loss, vandalism or other telecommunications problems at the co-location facilities or if these co-location facilities were to close without adequate notice. Although we have developed redundancies in some of our systems, we are exposed to the risk of network failures in the future. We currently do not have adequate computer hardware and systems to provide alternative service for most of our hosting or application service clients in the event of an extended loss of service at the co-location facilities. Though some of our co-location facilities are served by data backup redundancy at other facilities, they are not equipped to provide full disaster recovery to all of our hosting and application services clients. If there are operational failures in our network infrastructure that cause interruptions, slower response times, loss of data or extended loss of service for our hosting and application services clients, we may be required to issue credits or pay penalties, current clients may terminate their contracts or elect not to renew them, and we may lose sales to potential clients. If we determine that we need additional hardware and systems, we may be required to make further investments in our network infrastructure, reducing our operating margins and diverting capital from other efforts.
 
Because we generally recognize revenues ratably over the term of our contract with a client, downturns or upturns in sales will not be fully reflected in our operating results until future periods.
 
When our products are fully launched we will recognize most of our revenues from clients monthly over the terms of their agreements, which are expected to be 12 months. As a result, much of the revenue we will report in each quarter is attributable to agreements entered into during previous quarters. Consequently, a decline in sales, client renewals, or market acceptance of our products in any one quarter would not necessarily be fully reflected in the revenues in that quarter, and would negatively affect our revenues and profitability in future quarters. This ratable revenue recognition also makes it difficult for us to rapidly increase our revenues through additional sales in any period, as revenues from new clients generally are recognized over the applicable agreement term.
 
 
19

 
 
Governmental Incentives.
 
The Company’s business plan relies to some extent on the availability of federal and state incentives for K12 schools to implement online course offerings. There can be no assurance that some or all of these incentives will not be substantially reduced or eliminated, nor can there be any assurance that any currently proposed incentives will actually take effect.
  
Government regulation of the Internet and eCommerce is evolving and unfavorable changes could substantially harm our business and results of operations.
 
As Internet commerce continues to evolve, increasing regulation by federal, state or foreign agencies becomes more likely. Existing and future laws and regulations may impede the growth and use of the Internet or other online services. These regulation and laws may address pricing, content, copyrights, distribution, electronic contracts and other communications, consumer protection, the provision of online payment services, broadband residential Internet access and the characteristics and quality of products and services. It is not clear how existing laws governing issues such as property ownership, sales, and other taxes, libel and personal privacy apply to the Internet and e-Commerce. Unfavorable resolution of these issues could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of the operations and financial condition.
 
Management and Dependence on Key Personnel.
 
The success of the Company will depend in large part upon the skill and efforts of its founders and executive officers, Terry B. Anderton and Joakim Lindblom and other key personnel, including those who may be hired. Loss of any such personnel, whether due to resignation, death, and disability or otherwise, could have a material adverse effect on the Company. In addition, as we seek to expand our organization, the hiring of qualified sales, technical and support personnel could be difficult due to the limited number of qualified professionals. Failure to attract, integrate and retain key personnel would result in disruptions to our operations, including adversely affecting the timeliness of product releases, the successful implementation and completion of company initiatives and the results of our operations.
 
Our current principal shareholders and management own a significant percentage of our stock and will be able to exercise significant influence over our affairs.
 
Our founders, including our executive officers and directors, as of April 16, 2013, beneficially own approximately 16.9% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock. Consequently, these shareholders may be able to determine the composition of the Board of Directors, retain the voting power to approve matters requiring shareholder approval and continue to have control over the Company’s operations. The interests of these shareholders may be different from the interests of other shareholders on these matters. The concentration of ownership could also have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control or otherwise discourage a potential acquirer from attempting to obtain control of the Company.

Calamities.
 
Although the Company maintains insurance which it considers prudent, there can be no assurance that such insurance will prove adequate in the event of actual casualty losses or broader calamities such as terrorist attacks, earthquakes, financial crises, economic depressions or other catastrophic events, which are either uninsurable or not economically insurable. Any such losses could have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
If our products contain errors, new product releases are delayed or our services are disrupted, we could lose new sales and be subject to significant liability claims.
 
Because our software products are complex, they may contain undetected errors or defects, known as bugs. Bugs can be detected at any point in a product’s life cycle, but are more common when a new product is introduced or when new versions are released. We have frequent new product and functionality releases, and those releases may be delayed from their scheduled date due to a wide range of factors. Finally, our service offerings may be disrupted causing delays or interruptions in the services provided to our clients. In the past, we have encountered defects in our product releases, product development delays and interruptions in our service offerings. Despite our product testing, planning and other quality control efforts, we anticipate that our products and services may encounter undetected defects, release delays and service interruptions in the future. Significant errors in our products, delays in product releases or disruptions in the provision of our services could lead to:
 
delays in or loss of market acceptance of our products;
   
diversion of our resources;
   
a lower rate of license renewals or upgrades;
   
injury to our reputation; and
   
increased service expenses or payment of damages.
  
Because our clients use our products to store, retrieve and utilize critical information, we may be subject to significant liability claims if our products do not work properly or if the provision of our services is disrupted. Such claims could result in significant expenses, disrupt sales and affect our reputation and that of our products. We cannot be certain that the limitations of liability set forth in our licenses and agreements would be enforceable or would otherwise protect us from liability, and our insurance may not cover all or any of the claims. A material liability claim against us, regardless of its merit or its outcome, could result in substantial costs, significantly harm our business reputation and divert management’s attention from our operations.
 
 
21

 
 
If we fail to keep pace with rapid technological changes, our competitive position will suffer.
 
The eLearning industry is characterized by rapid technological change. Failure to respond to technological advances could make our business less efficient, or cause our products to be of a lesser quality than those of our competitors. These advances could also allow competitors to provide higher quality services at lower costs than we can provide. Thus, if we are unable to adopt or incorporate technological advances, our services will become uncompetitive.
 
We could lose revenues if there are changes in the spending policies or budget priorities for government funding of research institutions, foundations, universities and other education providers.
 
Most of our customers and potential customers are research institutions, foundations, universities and other education providers who depend substantially on government funding. Accordingly, any general decrease, delay or change in federal, state or local funding for colleges, universities, schools and other education providers could cause our current and potential customers to reduce their purchases of our products and services, or to decide not to renew service contracts, either of which could cause us to lose revenues. In addition, a specific reduction in governmental funding support for products such as ours would also cause us to lose revenues. The severe economic downturn experienced in the U.S. and globally has caused many of our clients to experience severe budgetary pressures, which has and will likely continue to have a negative impact on sales of our products. Continuing unfavorable economic conditions may result in further budget cuts and lead to lower overall spending, including information technology spending, by our current and potential clients, which may cause our revenues to decrease.
 
Security Breaches Could Damage Our Business.
 
Concerns over the security of transactions conducted on the Internet and the privacy of users may inhibit the growth of the Internet, social networking sites, online services and online commerce. Failure to successfully prevent security breaches could significantly harm the Company’s business and expose the Company to litigation. Anyone who is able to circumvent the Company’s security measures could misappropriate proprietary information, including personal data, cause interruptions in the Company’s operations or damage its brand and reputation. The Company cannot assure the investors that its financial systems and other technological resources are completely secure from security breaches or sabotage. The Company may have to incur significant costs to protect against security breaches or to alleviate problems caused by breaches. Further, any well-publicized compromise of the Company’s security or the security of any other Internet provider could deter people from using the Company’s services or the Internet to conduct transactions that involve transmitting confidential information or downloading sensitive materials. The occurrence of one or more of these events could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, results of operations and financial condition.

Risks Related to our Foreign Business
 
We are currently doing business in several foreign countries, including India and Ukraine, and we plan to expand our operations into many more countries, mostly in the Third World.  While we believe that these international operations have a substantial profit potential, these operations are subject to significant additional risks not faced in our domestic operations, including, but not limited to, risks relating to legal systems which may not adequately protect contract and intellectual property rights, as well as risks relating to potential financial crises and currency exchange controls.  There can be no assurance that these international risks will not materially adversely affect our business.

Risks Related to our Common Stock; Liquidity Risks
 
Volatility of Stock Price.
 
The market prices for securities of emerging and development stage companies such as the Company have historically been highly volatile. Difficulty in raising capital as well as future announcements concerning the Company or its competitors, including the results of testing, technological innovations or new commercial products, government regulations, developments concerning proprietary rights, litigation or public concern as to safety of potential products developed by the Company or others, may have a significant adverse impact on the market price of the Company’s stock.
 
We Have No Intention to Pay Dividends on Our Common Stock.
 
For the near-term, we intend to retain any remaining future earnings, if any, to finance our operations and do not anticipate paying any cash dividends with respect to our Common Stock.
 
Our Common Stock is Quoted on the OTC Bulletin Board (“OTCBB”) and There is Minimal Liquidity in the Trading Market for Our Common Stock.
 
Our Common Stock is quoted on the OTCBB under the symbol “TNTY” (which was changed from “BNTE” in February 2012 as a result of the Merger). There has been only minimal trading of our common stock since the Merger, and no assurance can be given as to when, if ever, an active trading market will develop or, if developed, that it will be sustained. As a result, investors may be unable to sell their shares of our Common Stock.
 
 
23

 
 
Possible Depressive Effect on Price of Securities of Future Sales of Common Stock.
 
As a result of the Merger, the Company has issued to the former Trunity shareholders 33,231,037 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. These shares are no longer restricted securities subject to Rule 144. The sale or availability for sale of substantial amounts of Common Stock in the public market under Rule 144 or otherwise could materially adversely affect the prevailing market prices of the Company’s Common Stock and could impair the Company’s ability to raise additional capital through the sale of its equity securities.
 
Possible Adverse Effects of Authorization and Issuance of Preferred Stock.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors is authorized to issue up to 50,000,000 shares of preferred stock. The Board of Directors has the power to establish the dividend rates, liquidation preferences, voting rights, redemption and conversion terms and privileges with respect to any series of preferred stock. The issuance of any series of preferred stock having rights superior to those of the Common Stock may result in a decrease in the value or market price of the Common Stock and could further be used by the Board as a device to prevent a change in control favorable to the Company. Holders of preferred stock to be issued in the future may have the right to receive dividends and certain preferences in liquidation and conversion rights. The issuance of such preferred stock could make the possible takeover of the Company or the removal of management of the Company more difficult, and adversely affect the voting and other rights of the holder of the Common Stock, or depress the market price of the Common Stock.
  
Disclosures Relating to Low Priced Stocks; Restrictions on Resale of Low Price Stocks and on Broker-Dealer Sale; Possible Adverse Effect of “Penny Stock” Rules on Liquidity for the Company’s Securities.
 
Since the Company has net tangible assets of less than $1,000,000, transactions in the Company’s securities are subject to Rule 15g-9 under the Exchange Act which imposes additional sales practice requirements on broker-dealers who sell such securities to persons other than established customers and “accredited investors” (generally, individuals with a net worth in excess of $1,000,000 or annual incomes exceeding $200,000 or $300,000 together with their spouses). For transactions covered by this Rule, a broker-dealer must make a special suitability determination for the purchaser and shall receive the purchaser’s written consent to the transaction prior to the sale. Consequently, this Rule may affect the ability of broker-dealers to sell the Company’s securities, and may affect the ability of shareholders to sell any of the Company’s securities in the secondary market.
 
The Commission has adopted regulations which generally define a “penny stock” to be any non-NASDAQ equity security of a small company that has a market price (as therein defined) less than $5.00 per share, or with an exercise price of less than $5.00 per share subject to certain exceptions, and which is not traded on any exchange or quoted on NASDAQ. For any transaction by broker-dealers involving a penny stock (unless exempt), the rules require delivery, prior to a transaction in a penny stock, of a risk disclosure document relating to the penny stock market. Disclosure is also required to be made about compensation 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 an account and information on the limited market in penny stocks.

ITEM 1B.  UNRESOLVED STAFF COMMENTS
 
Not applicable.

ITEM 2.  PROPERTIES

The Company does not own any real property. In August, 2010, the Company entered into a lease agreement for 6,400 square feet of office space of its headquarters located at 15 Green Street, Newburyport, Massachusetts. This lease is effective through July 2013 at a rental rate of $7,600 per month.  We are under current negotiations for a new facility that we believe will be adequate to serve our needs for the foreseeable future.
 
ITEM 3.  LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
 
In February 2012, Trunity and our CEO Terry Anderton were served with a complaint filed by an ex-Trunity, employee, William Horn, in the Nashua, New Hampshire, Superior Court. The plaintiff served as Executive Vice President of Marketing & Business Development from March until August 2011 at an annual salary of $100,000. He asserts whistleblower status and alleges that he was wrongfully terminated because of his allegations that the Company had violated securities, tax and employment laws. The complaint seeks unspecified damages under the New Hampshire Whistleblower Act and common law, including reinstatement, back pay and attorney’s fees and costs. In May 2012, we responded to the complaint by denying all material allegations and filing a counterclaim against the plaintiff for breach of contract, tortious interference with contractual and business relations, breach of fiduciary duty and violation of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Discovery has begun; a deposition of Mr. Horn was conducted on March 25, 2013.  Trial of the case is scheduled for September 2013. Based on the preliminary information available to us, we believe that the complaint is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the case and prosecute the counterclaim.
 
There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject and, to the best of our knowledge, no such actions against us are contemplated or threatened.

Under Delaware law, we may declare and pay dividends on our capital stock either out of our surplus, as defined in the relevant Delaware statutes, or if there is no such surplus, out of our net profits for the fiscal year in which the dividend is declared and/or the preceding fiscal year. If, however, the capital of our company, computed in accordance with the relevant Delaware statutes, has been diminished by depreciation in the value of our property, or by losses, or otherwise, to an amount less than the aggregate amount of the capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets, we are prohibited from declaring and paying out of such net profits and dividends upon any shares of our capital stock until the deficiency in the amount of capital represented by the issued and outstanding stock of all classes having a preference upon the distribution of assets shall have been repaired. The Company does not intend to declare or pay any cash dividends on its common stock in the foreseeable future.  The holders of the Company’s common stock are entitled to receive only such dividends (cash or otherwise) as may be declared by the Company’s Board of Directors.

ITEM 7.   MANAGEMENT S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere herein.
 
Overview
 
Trunity is a Delaware corporation with its principal office in Newburyport, Massachusetts. It was formed on July 28, 2009 to develop a cloud-based knowledge-sharing platform that focuses on e-learning, virtual textbooks, enterprise training and the education marketplace. The Company was formed though the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders. The Company is in the development stage and it is presently undertaking research and development of its platform. Our core products, Knowledge, Learn and Connect, are in full production and fully operational, and are currently in use by paying customers; however, our revenues are well below the level needed for profitability. We believe that our focused marketing efforts described in “Business” above as well as the impact of positive “word of mouth” from satisfied users will enable us to substantially increase revenues; however, there can be no assurance that we will ever achieve profitability.
 
Except as specifically noted to the contrary, the following discussion relates only to Trunity since, as a result of the Merger, the only historical financial statements presented for the Company in periods following the merger with BTI will be those of the operating entity, Trunity, Inc.
 
Critical Accounting Policies
 
Basis of Accounting
 
The financial statements of the Company are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements.
 
 
28

 
 
Development Stage Operations

The Company has operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to business development. Based on our current plan we anticipate exiting development stage in the beginning of 2013.

Going Concern
 
The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flow since its inception. To the extent the Company may have negative cash flows in the future; it will continue to require additional capital to fund operations. The Company obtained additional capital investments under various debt and common stock issues. Although management continues to pursue financing plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining additional funding or sufficient revenues to generate positive cash flow. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties. We may not be able to obtain financing or capital on commercially acceptable terms or at all.
 
Revenue Recognition
 
The Company’s revenue model consists of Software as a Service (SaaS) licensing and hosting revenue, for sites using the Company’s platform, as well as consulting, and advertising revenue. All SaaS revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.

Consulting revenues are earned for web site development services and are recognized on a time and materials basis, billed in accordance with contractual milestones negotiated with the customer. Revenues are recognized as the services are performed and amounts are earned in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition. We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. In certain contracts, revenue is earned upon achievement of certain milestones indicated in the client agreements. Services under these contracts are typically provided in less than a year and represent the contractual milestones or output measure, which reflect the earnings pattern.

Advertising revenue is earned from search engine providers based on search activity for sites hosted by the Company.

Revenues recognized in excess of billings are recorded as Unbilled Revenue (an asset). Billings in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as Deferred Revenue (a liability) until revenue recognition criteria are met. Client prepayments are deferred and recognized over future periods as services are delivered or performed.

 
29

 
 
Accounts Receivable
 
We estimate credit loss reserves for accounts receivable on an individual receivable basis. A specific impairment allowance reserve is established based on expected future cash flows and the financial condition of the debtor. We charge off customer balances in part or in full when it is more likely than not that we will not collect that amount of the balance due. We consider any balance unpaid after the contract payment period to be past due. We believe all accounts receivable due at December 31, 2012 and 2011 to be collectible.
  
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes
 
Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”) . Under ASC 740, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequence of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using statutory tax rates and are adjusted for tax rate changes. We consider accounting for income taxes critical to our operations because management is required to make significant subjective judgments in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that may be required against deferred tax assets.
 
ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in an entity’s financial statements and requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements. For those tax positions where it is not “more likely than not” that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. Where applicable, associated interest and penalties are also recorded. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods, and expanded disclosure requirements.
 
Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2012. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments are expected to be minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it would be classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense. The tax years 2009, through 2012 are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

Taxes on Revenue Producing Transactions
 
The Company earns revenues through various services. Service revenue is taxable in some jurisdictions throughout the United States and The Company could be responsible for collecting those taxes subject to state or local requirements. The Company is not aware of any transactions which would necessitate the fiduciary responsibility of collecting and remitting sales based taxes.
 
Website Development
 
We have adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 350 Intangible-Goodwill and Other. Research and development costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed, while development costs of the website to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are subject are capitalized and amortized over the estimated three year life of the asset. Development costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are subject to capitalization beginning when a product's technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. In most instances, the Company's products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. Therefore, costs incurred subsequent to achievement of technological feasibility are usually not significant, and generally most software development costs have been expensed as incurred. During the period July 28, 2009 (Inception) to December 31, 2012, we incurred and capitalized $1,516,669 in website development costs. Amortization for these costs recorded during the period July 28, 2009 (Inception) to December 31, 2012 was $688,347.
   
Stock-Based Compensation
 
We recognize compensation costs to employees under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, Compensation – Stock Compensation. Under FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 718, companies are required to measure the compensation costs of share-based compensation arrangements based on the grant-date fair value and recognize the costs in the financial statements over the period during which employees are required to provide services. Share-based compensation cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option's fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model. Share based compensation arrangements may include stock options, restricted share plans, performance based awards, share appreciation rights and employee share purchase plans. As such, compensation cost is measured on the date of grant at their fair value. Such compensation amounts, if any, are amortized over the respective vesting periods of the option grant.
 
Equity instruments issued to other than employees are recorded on the basis of the fair value of the instruments, as required by FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 505, Equity Based Payments to Non-Employees. In general, the measurement date is when either a (a) performance commitment, as defined, is reached or (b) the earlier of (i) the non-employee performance is complete or (ii) the instruments are vested. The measured value related to the instruments is recognized over a period based on the facts and circumstances of each particular grant as defined in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.
 
 
31

 
 
Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company assesses whether it has embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The Company accounts for its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and carries them at fair value.
 
For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability and that are designated as fair value hedges, both the net gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the current period. Derivatives that do not qualify as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through current income.
  
Common Stock Purchase Warrants
 
The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option's fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.
 
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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
 
Stockholders’ Equity
 
Shares of common stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange.

Results of Operations
  
Years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011

During 2012 and 2011, we focused on the development of our platform technology and bringing that platform to our target markets. Revenues decreased 47% from $299,074 in 2011 to $159,359 in 2012. A decline in our service revenue in comparison to the prior year made up the majority of this decrease as we continued to focus on the development of platform and strategic partner relationships. We believe that our revenue will increase during 2013 based upon our revenue recognition from licensing revenue, from new and existing relationships, specific marketing efforts and “word of mouth” from satisfied users of our platform; however, there can be no assurance that this expected revenue increase will occur.

Our total operating expenses for 2012 of $2,387,390 increased 12 . 7% from 2011, primarily as a result of an increase in marketing and sales expenses due to the Company’s increased efforts to enhance brand awareness in the educational market in order to generate new sales , offset by a decrease in research and development and administrative costs.  Salary expenses included in operating expenses for 2012 of $1,068,565 represents an increase of 38.3% over the comparable period in 2011 due to the increase in the number of employees as the Company continues to grow and develop the platform’s content.  Research and development and administrative expenses declined to $894,157 from $939,557 as the Company concentrated its development efforts on the marketing of its products. Amortization and depreciation expenses for 2012 were $667,127 and $50,257, respectively, compared to $800,904 and $44,736 for the prior year period. The decrease in amortization expense is as a result of the initial investment cost for the platform being fully amortized as of the end of the second quarter , offset by an increase for the debentures issued in the third and fourth quarter which generated discount costs. We expect that our general and administrative expenses will continue to increase in future periods as our business expands. As a result of the increase in operating expenses and decline in sales, the Company experienced a loss from operations that was approximately $2.3 million in 2012 and $1.9 million in 2011.
 
Interest expense was $141,930 in 2012 and $466,345 in 2011. The decrease was mainly due to the Company’s long-term debt outstanding from 2010 through mid-2011 being converted into equity in mid-2011, offset by working capital loans from related parties and the newly issued debentures interest recorded during the current year period. Included in the 2011 interest expense was a one-time $293,092 non-cash expense related to the early retirement of this debt recorded in 2011.
 
Net losses remained consistent in 2012 and 2011 at approximately $2.4 million in each year. As research and development costs are expected to continue into 2013 at the historical levels, the Company will generate substantial net losses until we are able to successfully penetrate our markets with our products, as to which there can be no assurance.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
We have financed our operations since inception through the sale of debt and equity securities. As of December 31, 2012 and 2011 we had working capital deficits of $891,160 and $497,760, respectively. Our increase of negative working capital of approximately 79% is primarily attributable to decreases in cash and increases in accrued expenses and debt to generate cash for operations.

 
33

 
 
Our current assets at 2012, included cash and accounts receivable, net. Our current liabilities at the end of 2012, included accounts payables, notes payable of related parties, convertible note payable, accrued expenses representing accrued interest, professional fees and vacation expense and amounts owed to shareholders for working capital loans and deferred revenue.

Net cash used in operating activities was $1,448,425 for 2012, as compared to $1,373,915 for 2011 and $5,758,562 for the period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2012.  Working capital changes utilized cash of $61,106 in the current period as compared to $222,919 for 2011 due to the conversion of working capital loans from related parties. In addition , net income was adjusted for non-cash items by an increase of $126,648 in the current year as compared to 2011 due to additional stock compensation expense as a result of more issuances of options to employees and directors of the Company and accretion for debt discount and issuance costs , offset by a reduction in amortization as of a result of the initial platform costs being fully expensed. The increase in cash used for operating activities for the period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2012 is as a result of continued working capital requirements resulting in a use of cash of $780,083 and adjustments to non-cash items of $2,797,856 for stock compensation expense, accretion costs for debt discounts and depreciation and amortization expenses all related to the development of our Company.
 
Net cash used in investing activities was approximately $564,372 for 2012, as compared to net cash used of $397,903 for 2011 and $3,292,642 for the period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2012, which primarily reflects our website development investments, acquisition of our subsidiary and purchase of additional equipment.

Net cash provided by financing activities for 2012 was approximately $1,903,386 as compared to the $1,892,209 for 2011. This reflects proceeds from the private sale of our securities, issuance of our convertible debentures and proceeds from notes payable to related parties. Net cash provided by financing activities for the period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2012, was approximately $7,905,217 and proceeds from the private sale of our securities, issuance of our convertible debentures and proceeds from notes payable to related parties.

During 2012, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $875,000 through the sale of 2,462,211 shares of our common stock to investors at an average price of $0.35 per share.  These sales of shares occurred at various times throughout 2012.  The Company incurred stock issuance costs of approximately $45,000 consisting chiefly of commissions paid to broker-dealers who assisted with the offering. Working capital was also raised from loans made to the Company by its founders, which were approximately $505,000 in 2012.

During 2011, we raised gross proceeds of $1,769,576 through the sale of 6,857,538 shares of our common stock to investors at an average price of $0.26 per share.  These sales of shares occurred at various times throughout 2011.  The Company incurred stock issuance costs of approximately $112,000 consisting chiefly of commissions paid to broker-dealers who assisted with the offering.  These funds were used to fund operations and to cover the balance of the cash needed to close the Merger.  Working capital was also raised from loans made to the Company by its founders, which were $117,620 in 2011.  In 2011, the Company converted $4,063,811 of its long-term debt to common stock, thereby reducing interest expense and future principal obligations.

In 2013 to date, the Company has privately sold 687,500 shares of common stock raising $275,000  at a price of $0.40 per share.  The Company incurred stock issuance costs of approximately $8,000 consisting chiefly of commissions paid to broker-dealers who assisted with the offering.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
 

 
To the Board of Directors and
Stockholders of Trunity Holdings, Inc.
 
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Trunity Holdings, Inc.  (a development stage company)  as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the related statements of operations and comprehensive loss, stockholders’ (deficit) equity, and cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012 and the period from inception on July 28, 2009 to December 31, 2012. Trunity Holdings, Inc.’s management is responsible for these financial statements. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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 audit 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 audit 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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Trunity Holdings, Inc. as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the years in the two-year period ended December 31, 2012 and the period from inception on July 28, 2009 to December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

TRUNITY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
 (A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012  

 
Note 1 – Organization, Basis Of Presentation And Nature Of Operations

The accompanying audited consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in The United States of America and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission for financial information.

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Trunity Holdings, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary Trunity, Inc., for the year ended December 31, 2012, the prior year period and for the period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2012. All intercompany accounts have been eliminated in the consolidation.

Trunity, Inc. (“the Company”) is a “C” Corporation organized under the Laws of Delaware with principal offices in Newburyport, Massachusetts. It was formed on July 28, 2009 to develop a cloud-based knowledge sharing platform that focuses on e-learning, virtual textbooks, customer experience and education marketplace. The Company formed though the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders. The Company is in the development stage and it is presently undertaking research and development of its platform.   The Company’s core products, Knowledge, Learn and Connect, are in production and operational, and are currently in use by a limited number of paying customers; however, our revenues are well below the level needed for profitability.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Accounting - The financial statements are prepared in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these financial statements requires our management to make estimates and assumptions about future events that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and related notes. Future events and their effects cannot be determined with absolute certainty. Therefore, the determination of estimates requires the exercise of judgment. We believe the following critical accounting policies affect its more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of financial statements.

Development Stage Operations - The Company has operated as a development stage enterprise since its inception by devoting substantially all of its efforts to business development. We currently anticipate exiting from the development stage during the beginning of 2013.
 
Going Concern - The financial statements have been prepared assuming the Company will continue as a going concern. The Company has incurred net losses and negative operating cash flow since its inception. To the extent the Company may have negative cash flows in the future; it will continue to require additional capital to fund operations. The Company obtained additional capital investments under various debt and common stock issues. Although management continues to pursue its financing plans, there is no assurance that the Company will be successful in obtaining sufficient revenues to generate positive cash flow. The financial statements do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of these uncertainties.

Revenue Recognition - The Company’s revenue model consists of Software as a Service (SaaS) licensing and hosting revenue, for sites using the Company’s platform, as well as consulting, and advertising revenue.  All SaaS Revenue is recognized ratably over the contract period.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012


Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies- Continued

Consulting revenues are earned for web site development services and are recognized on a time and materials basis, billed in accordance with contractual milestones negotiated with the customer.  Revenues are recognized as the services are performed and amounts are earned in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 605 Revenue Recognition. We consider amounts to be earned once evidence of an arrangement has been obtained, services are delivered, fees are fixed or determinable, and collectability is probable. In such contracts, revenue is earned upon achievement of certain milestones indicated in the client agreements.  Services under these contracts are typically provided in less than a year and represent the contractual milestones or output measure, which reflect the earnings pattern.

Advertising revenue is earned from search engine providers based on search activity for sites hosted by the Company.

Revenues recognized in excess of billings are recorded as Unbilled Revenue (an asset). Billings in excess of revenues recognized are recorded as Deferred Revenue (a liability) until revenue recognition criteria are met. Client prepayments are deferred and recognized over future periods as services are delivered or performed.

Cash and Cash Equivalents - Cash and cash equivalents may include highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value due to interest rate, market price, or penalty on withdrawal. Amounts on deposit and available upon demand, or negotiated to provide for daily liquidity without penalty, are classified as Cash and cash equivalents.

Accounts Receivable - We estimate credit loss reserves for accounts receivable on an individual receivable basis. A specific impairment allowance reserve is established based on expected future cash flows and the financial condition of the debtor.  We charge off customer balances in part or in full when it is more likely than not that we will not collect that amount of the balance due.  We consider any balance unpaid after the contract payment period to be past due.  We believe all accounts receivable due at December 31, 2021 and 2011 to be collectible.

Property and Equipment - Property and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the related assets (generally three to seven years). Expenditures for major betterments and additions are capitalized, while replacement, maintenance and repairs, which do not extend the lives of the respective assets, are expensed as incurred.

Deposits - In April 2011, the Company signed a letter of intent to purchase a majority ownership stake in another company. The terms of this agreement call for certain actions to be undertaken by both parties. In 2011, the Company has made deposits of $175,000 pursuant to this agreement.  In 2012, the Company has made deposits of $150,000 pursuant to this agreement These deposits are not refundable in the event that either party does not or cannot fulfill its required actions.

Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes - Income taxes are accounted for in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 740, “Income Taxes” (“ASC 740”).  Under ASC 740, income taxes are recognized for the amount of taxes payable for the current year and deferred tax assets and liabilities for the future tax consequence of events that have been recognized differently in the financial statements than for tax purposes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established using statutory tax rates and are adjusted for tax rate changes. We consider accounting for income taxes critical to our operations because management is required to make significant subjective judgments in developing our provision for income taxes, including the determination of deferred tax assets and liabilities, and any valuation allowances that may be required against deferred tax assets.

TRUNITY HOLDINGS, INC. AND SUBSIDIARY
 (A Development Stage Company)
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
December 31, 2012


Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies- Continued

ASC 740 clarifies the accounting for uncertainty in income tax recognized in an entity’s financial statements and requires companies to determine whether it is “more likely than not” that a tax position will be sustained upon examination by the appropriate taxing authorities before any part of the benefit can be recorded in the financial statements.   For those tax positions where it is not “more likely than not” that a tax benefit will be sustained, no tax benefit is recognized. Where applicable, associated interest and penalties are also recorded. This interpretation also provides guidance on de-recognition, classification, accounting in interim periods, and expanded disclosure requirements.

Based on our evaluation, we have concluded that there are no significant uncertain tax positions requiring recognition in our financial statements. Our evaluation was performed for the tax period from July 28, 2009 (inception) to December 31, 2012. We may from time to time be assessed interest or penalties by major tax jurisdictions, although any such assessments are expected to be minimal and immaterial to our financial results. In the event we have received an assessment for interest and/or penalties, it would be classified in the financial statements as selling, general and administrative expense. The tax years 2009 through 2012 are subject to examination by federal and state taxing authorities.

Taxes on Revenue Producing Transactions – The Company earns revenues through various services.  Service revenue is taxable in some jurisdictions throughout the United States and The Company could be responsible for collecting those taxes subject to state or local requirements.  The Company is not aware of any transactions which would necessitate the fiduciary responsibility of collecting and remitting sales based taxes.
 
Website Development - The Company has adopted the provisions of FASB Accounting Standards Codification No. 350 Intangible-Goodwill and Other. Research and development costs incurred in the planning stage of a website are expensed, while development costs of the website to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are subject are capitalized and amortized over the estimated three year life of the asset. Development costs of computer software to be sold, leased, or otherwise marketed are subject to capitalization beginning when a product's technological feasibility has been established and ending when a product is available for general release to customers. In most instances, the Company's products are released soon after technological feasibility has been established. Therefore, costs incurred subsequent to achievement of technological feasibility are usually not significant, and generally most software development costs have been expensed as incurred . During the period July 28, 2009 (Inception) to December 31, 2012, the Company incurred and capitalized $1,516,669 in website development costs. Amortization for these costs recorded during the period July 28, 2009 (Inception) to December 31, 2012 was $688,347.

Derivative Financial Instruments - The Company assesses whether it has embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. The Company accounts for its derivative instruments as either assets or liabilities and carries them at fair value.

For derivative instruments that hedge the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset or a liability and that are designated as fair value hedges, both the net gain or loss on the derivative instrument as well as the offsetting gain or loss on the hedged item attributable to the hedged risk are recognized in earnings in the current period. Derivatives that do not qualify as hedges must be adjusted to fair value through current income.
 
Comprehensive Loss - The Company has adopted ASC Topic 220, "Comprehensive Income." This statement establishes standards for reporting comprehensive income and its components in a financial statement. Comprehensive income as defined includes all changes in equity (net assets) during a period from non-owner sources. Items included in the Company’s comprehensive loss consist of unrealized losses on available-for-sale securities.
 
Common Stock Purchase Warrants - The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and convertible debt, the Company has elected the intrinsic value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants.

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of income and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Stockholders’ Equity - Shares of common stock issued for other than cash have been assigned amounts equivalent to the fair value of the service or assets received in exchange.

Common stock share amounts in these financial statements have been retroactively adjusted for the effects of a 1 for 3 reverse stock split that occurred in 2011, as required by ASC Topic 505-20 (see Note 7).

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies- Continued
 
Warrants - The Company accounts for common stock purchase warrants in accordance with ASC 815, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities”. As is consistent with its handling of stock compensation and embedded derivative instruments, the Company’s cost for stock options is estimated at the grant date based on each option's fair-value as calculated by the Black-Scholes-Merton (“BSM”) option-pricing model value method for valuing the impact of the expense associated with these warrants. Amortization expense for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was approximately $667,127 and $800,904, respectively.
 
Financial Instruments and Fair Values - The fair value of a financial instrument represents the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. Fair value estimates are made at a specific point in time, based upon relevant market information about the financial instrument.  In determining fair value, we use various valuation methodologies and prioritize the use of observable inputs. We assess the inputs used to measure fair value using a three-tier hierarchy based on the extent to which inputs used in measuring fair value are observable in the market:

Level 1 — inputs include exchange quoted prices for identical instruments and are the most observable.

Level 2 — inputs include brokered and/or quoted prices for similar assets and observable inputs such as interest rates.

Level 3 — inputs include data not observable in the market and reflect management judgment about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The use of observable and unobservable inputs and their significance in measuring fair value are reflected in our hierarchy assessment.

The carrying amount of cash, trade receivables and other assets approximates fair value due to the short-term maturities of these instruments.  Because cash and cash equivalents are readily liquidated, management  classifies these values as Level 1.

The fair values of all other financial instruments, including debt, approximate their book values as the instruments are short-term in nature or contain market rates of interest.  Because there is no ready market or observable transactions, management classifies all other financial instruments as level 3.
 
Note 3 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05, Presentation of Comprehensive Income (“ASU 2011-05”), to require an entity to present the total of comprehensive income, the components of net income, and the components of other comprehensive income either in a single continuous statement of comprehensive income or in two separate but consecutive statements. ASU 2011-05 eliminates the option to present the components of other comprehensive income as part of the statement of equity. The standard does not change the items which must be reported in other comprehensive income, how such items are measured or when they must be reclassified to net income. This standard is effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied retrospectively. The FASB has deferred the requirement to present reclassification adjustments for each component of accumulated other comprehensive income in both net income and other comprehensive income. Companies are required to either present amounts reclassified out of other comprehensive income on the face of the financial statements or disclose those amounts in the notes to the financial statements. During the deferral period, there is no requirement to separately present or disclose the reclassification adjustments into net income. The effective date of this deferral will be consistent with the effective date of the ASU 2011-05. The implementation of ASU 2011-05 did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In July 2012, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that allows companies the option to perform a qualitative assessment to determine whether impairment testing of indefinite-lived intangible assets is necessary. Under this guidance, an entity is required to perform a quantitative impairment test if qualitative factors indicate that it is more likely than not  that indefinite-lived intangible assets are impaired.  The qualitative factors are consistent with the guidance established for goodwill impairment testing and include identifying and assessing events and circumstances that would most significantly impact, individually or in aggregate, the carrying value of the indefinite-lived intangible assets. The implementation did is not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

Note   6- Notes Payable- Continued

At December 31, 2011 and 2012, the notes payable to founders consists of short-term loans with the three founders.  Credit agreements exist with Terry Anderton and Les Anderton that allow the Company to borrow up to $0.9 million, as needed, to fund working capital needs. These agreements carry an interest rate of 10% and were extended by the board indefinitely subsequent to the initial expiration date of December of 2012.  The loans have no repayment terms but are expected to be settled in the second quarter of 2013

Trunity, LLC Note - Trunity, LLC was formed by the three founders of the Company to acquire the technology platform used by the Company. The assets of Trunity, LLC, which consisted chiefly of the rights to the technology platform, was sold to the Company for $1.8 million in the form of a Note bearing interest of 8% payable with 120 monthly installments, maturing in June 2019. In July 2011, all principal due on this note was converted to common shares of the Company and distributed to the three owners of Trunity, LLC.  In 2011, the Company made $153,500 in interest payments to the three founders.  In 2012, the Company converted the interest payable of $141,996 to the founders into debentures. See Note 8 for further discussion.
 
Short-term loan from Investor - In 2011, an investor in the Company made a short-term loan of $16,784 to the Company to cover its working capital needs.  There are no documented terms for this loan.  The Company has treated the loan as interest free and it expects to repay the loan in a short period of time.

In 2012, an investor in the Company made a short-term loan of $50,000 to the Company to cover its working capital needs.  There are no documented terms for this loan however the Company has agree to pay by the end of the second quarter of 2013 interest expense of $5,000.

Conversion of Notes to common shares of the Company - During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company converted all of its long-term outstanding debt, totaling $3.8 million, to its common shares. Of the amount converted, $2.8 million was debt held by the three founders. Outside investors converted the remaining $1 million of debt.  The Company incurred non-cash expenses of approximately $293,000 to convert this debt.  This charge is primarily the unamortized discount incurred with the issuance of the Company’s first debt offering in 2009.

In October 2010, the Company issued a single $100,000 promissory note to an investor.  The note called for fixed interest of $5,000 per month. This note had a maturity of January 8, 2011. Additionally, 100,000 warrants to purchase shares of Company stock were issued to this investor. See note 9 below, for a description of these warrants. In August 2011, this note with accrued but unpaid interest was converted to common shares.

Interest expense recognized for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 was $141,930 and $173,253, respectively.

Note 7 – Derivative

The Company’s convertible debt issued in November 2012 with a face value of $42,500 provides for conversion of the note into the Company’s common stock at a conversion rate equal to the average of the lowest three trading prices during the ten trading days immediately preceding the conversion date.  Because of the uncertainty regarding the number of common shares that may be issuable upon the conversion of the convertible debt, the embedded conversion option is required to be accounted for separately and presented as a derivative liability on the Company’s balance sheet, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in the Company’s statement of operations.  The Company determined the fair value of derivative liabilities using Monte Carlo simulations. The Company used the following assumptions in estimating the fair value of the derivative liabilities on the issuance date and as of December 31, 2012.

Note 9 – Stockholders’ (Deficit) Equity- Continued

Common stock committed not yet issued On December 29, 2011, the Company entered into a payment agreement and mutual release with an investment-banking firm that had been hired to provide strategic guidance and secure investors in the Company. The settlement calls for the Company to pay the firm $25,000 upon the Company’s next capital raise, and to issue the firm 100,000 shares of common stock.  The Company valued the shares at $0.25 and has reflected this $50,000 total settlement as an administrative expense in the statement of operations. The Company issued these shares to the investment firm in early 2012.

Reverse Merger Transaction -  Trunity acquired a 90.1% interest in Brain Tree International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“BTI”), pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with the three principal shareholders of Trunity Holdings, Inc., 961,974 of BTI shares were purchased for the price of $325,000 plus 325,000 shares of Trunity common stock. As part of the transaction, on January 24, 2012, immediately prior to the Merger, BTI reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name from Brain Tree International, Inc. to Trunity Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the reincorporation, 105,064 minority shares of BTI automatically converted into the same number of shares of THI.

Warrants for Services - During the year ended December 31, 2012, in connection with services rendered, the Company issued warrants to purchase 250,000 and 25,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $0.50 and $0.25 per share, respectively. The Company recognized expense of $37,453 related to warrants granted for services rendered during the period and valued them at the grant date using the Black Scholes valuation model.

Note 10 – Stock Based Compensation

In 2009, the Company approved the 2009 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (The Plan) and authorized an option pool of 5,500,000 shares. Stock options typically vest over a 3 year period and have a life of 10 years from the date granted.  In 2009, the Company accelerated the option vesting of certain employees who terminated their employment, but agreed to work in a consulting capacity. In exchange for the accelerated vesting, the employees agreed to shorter expiration periods for their options.  As of December 31, 2012, there were 63,333 shares available for awards under this plan.

In 2012, the Company approved the 2012 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (The Plan) and authorized an option pool of 7,500,000 shares. Stock options typically vest over a 3 year period and have a life of 10 years from the date granted.  As of December 31, 2012, there were 2,900,000 shares available for awards under this plan.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company issued options to acquire 5,570,000 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.30 and $0.25 per share to employees, directors, and consultants. During the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company issued options to acquire 610,277 shares of common stock at exercise prices of $0.35 per share to employees, directors, and consultants.

The grant-date fair value of options is estimated using the Black Scholes option pricing model.  The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2012 was $.19 and $.17 and was determined using the following assumptions:  expected price volatility 57% and 51%, risk-free interest rate ranging from 1.04% to 1.61%, zero expected dividend yield, and six years expected life of options. The per share weighted average fair value of stock options granted during 2011 was $.13 and was determined using the following assumptions:  expected price volatility 57%, risk-free interest rates ranging from  1.4% to 2.9%, zero expected dividend yield, and six years expected life of options.  The expected term of options granted is based on the simplified method in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin 107, and represents the period of time that options granted are expected to be outstanding.  The Company makes assumptions with respect to expected stock price volatility based on the average historical volatility of peers with similar attributes. In addition, the Company determines the risk free rate by selecting the U.S. Treasury with maturities similar to the expected terms of grants, quoted on an investment basis in effect at the time of grant for that business day.

Note 12 – Income Taxes
 
Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for tax purposes plus operating loss carryforwards. The tax effects of significant items comprising the Company’s net deferred tax assets and liabilities are as follows:

   
As of December 31,
 
   
2012
   
2011
 
             
Deferred Tax Assets:

    (3,586,667 )     (2,699,218 )
Total Net deferred tax assets
  $  -     $ -  
 
At December 31, 2012 the Company has gross deferred tax assets of $9.13 million (tax effected $3.6 million). The Company is in a domestic cumulative taxable loss position for the three year period ended December 31, 2012, which is considered significant evidence that the Company may not be able to realize some portion or all of these deferred taxes in the future. The Company has decided that based on all available evidence that a full valuation allowance should be taken against the entire gross deferred tax assets of $9.13 million (tax effected $3.6 million).

The Company has federal operating loss carryforwards of $9.15 million that can be carryforward for twenty years. The operating losses will begin to expire in 2029 through 2033. The company’s ability to utilize the net operating losses is contingent on generating sufficient future taxable income prior to their expiration. As a result, an equivalent amount of taxable income would need to be generated in order to fully realize the net deferred tax assets. However due to the Company’s limited operating history and uncertainty of achieving sufficient profits to utilize the net operating loss carryforwards the Company has recorded a valuation allowance of $9.13 million (tax effected $3.6 million) related to the net deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to monitor and update its assumptions and forecasts of future taxable income to determine if a valuation allowance will continue to be needed.
 
T he Company’s effective income tax rate is lower than what would be expected if the federal statutory rate were applied to the loss from operations primarily because of the effect of the state tax benefit, net of federal benefit, and the change in the valuation allowance provided against deferred tax assets. The change in the valuation allowance for the year ended December 31, 2012 was $887,448.

Note 12 – Income Taxes - Continued

Uncertain Tax Positions
 
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amount of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases.  Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered in income.  Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that the tax benefits will not be realized.  Management has evaluated the effect of the guidance provided by U S Generally Accepted Accounting Principles on Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes.  Management has evaluated all other tax positions that could have a significant effect on the financial statements and determined the Company had no uncertain income tax positions at December 31, 2012.

Legal
 
In February 2012, Trunity and our CEO Terry Anderton were served with a complaint filed by an ex-Trunity, employee, William Horn, in the Nashua, New Hampshire, Superior Court. The plaintiff served as Executive Vice President of Marketing & Business Development from March until August 2011 at an annual salary of $100,000. He asserts whistleblower status and alleges that he was wrongfully terminated because of his allegations that the Company had violated securities, tax and employment laws. The complaint seeks unspecified damages under the New Hampshire Whistleblower Act and common law, including reinstatement, back pay and attorney’s fees and costs. In May 2012, we responded to the complaint by denying all material allegations and filing a counterclaim against the plaintiff for breach of contract, tortious interference with contractual and business relations, breach of fiduciary duty and violation of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Discovery has begun; a deposition of Mr. Horn was conducted on March 25, 2013.  Trial of the case is scheduled for September 2013. Based on the preliminary information available to us, we believe that the complaint is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the case and prosecute the counterclaim.
 
There are no other material pending legal proceedings to which we are a party or to which any of our property is subject and, to the best of our knowledge, no such actions against us are contemplated or threatened.

Note 15 – Subsequent Events

During the beginning of 2013, the Company raised gross proceeds of $275,000 through the sale of 687,500 shares of its common stock to accredited investors in a private placement at an average price of $.40 per share.  The Company incurred stock issuance costs of approximately $8,000 consisting chiefly of commissions paid to broker-dealers who assisted with the offering.
 
On March 20, 2013, Trunity Holdings, Inc.’s wholly-owned subsidiary Trunity, Inc. (“Trunity”) entered into a transaction pursuant to which the Trunity Platform was selected by the Ukraine Government’s Open World National Project to serve as the foundation for the country’s national educational network for public school students in grades five through nine, representing approximately 1,500,000 students.
 
In connection with the transaction, Trunity entered into a share purchase agreement and a project agreement providing it with a 15% stake in EDUCOM, a Ukrainian limited liability company (the “JV Company”), and the JV Company entered into a license agreement with Trunity providing the JV Company with a five-year renewable license to use the Trunity Platform in exchange for a license fee of $400,000, of which $100,000 was paid upon signing and the $300,000 balance is expected in April 2013. Trunity expects to generate substantial revenue from the Ukrainian joint venture, above and beyond the initial license fee, through the sale of content from the Trunity Knowledge Exchange and from the Ukrainian Knowledge Exchange to be established by Trunity in connection with the venture.

ITEM 9.  CHANGES IN AND DISAGREEMENTS WITH ACCOUNTANTS ON ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL DISCLOSURE

Previous Independent Accountants
 
On January 24, 2012, upon closing of the Merger, the Board of Directors of the Company approved changing the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm from Madsen & Associates CPAs, Inc., Murray, Utah   (“Madsen”) to Cherry, Bekaert LLP, formerly Cherry, Bekaert & Holland, L.L.P., Fort Lauderdale, Florida (“CBH”). The dismissal of Madsen, as approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, was effective immediately.
 
Madsen’s reports on the Company’s financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011, and for the period from July 26, 1983 (date of inception) to June 30, 2011 contained no adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor were such reports qualified or modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principle.
 
During the Company’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 and through January 24, 2012, there were no disagreements between the Company and Madsen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure, which disagreements, if not resolved to the satisfaction of Madsen, would have caused Madsen to make reference thereto in its report on the financial statements for such years.
 
During the Company’s fiscal years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 and through January 24, 2012, there were no “reportable events” as that term is described in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.
 
New Independent Accountants
 
On January 24, 2012, the Company engaged CB as its independent registered public accounting firm for the Company’s fiscal year ended June 30, 2012.
 
During the years ended June 30, 2010 and 2011 and the subsequent interim period through January 24, 2012, the Company did not consult with CB regarding either (i) the application of accounting principles to a specific completed or contemplated transaction, or the type of audit opinion that might be rendered on the Company’s financial statements or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement or event identified in response to (a)(1)(iv) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K, or a reportable event as that term is used in Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Item 304 of Regulation S-K.

On May 18, 2012, our Board of Directors voted to change the fiscal year to end on December 31, 2012.

ITEM 9A. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
 
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures . We maintain “disclosure controls and procedures” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, our management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective such that the information relating to our company, required to be disclosed in our Securities and Exchange Commission reports (i) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms, and (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
 
Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Our internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:
 
·
·
pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of our assets;
 
·  
 
provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that our receipts and expenditures are being made only in accordance with authorizations of our management and directors; and
·  
 
provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of our assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
 
Because of the inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012. In making this assessment, management used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control-Integrated Framework. Management's assessment included an evaluation of the design of our internal control over financial reporting. Based on this assessment, our management has concluded that as of December 31, 2012, our internal control over financial reporting was effective to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.
 
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting. During the fourth quarter of 2012 there were no changes that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

In February 2012, Trunity and our CEO Terry Anderton were served with a complaint filed by an ex-Trunity, employee, William Horn, in the Nashua, New Hampshire, Superior Court. The plaintiff served as Executive Vice President of Marketing & Business Development from March until August 2011 at an annual salary of $100,000. He asserts whistleblower status and alleges that he was wrongfully terminated because of his allegations that the Company had violated securities, tax and employment laws. The complaint seeks unspecified damages under the New Hampshire Whistleblower Act and common law, including reinstatement, back pay and attorney’s fees and costs. In May 2012, we responded to the complaint by denying all material allegations and filing a counterclaim against the plaintiff for breach of contract, tortious interference with contractual and business relations, breach of fiduciary duty and violation of the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. Discovery has begun; a deposition of Mr. Horn was conducted on March 25, 2013.  Trial of the case is scheduled for September 2013. Based on the preliminary information available to us, we believe that the complaint is without merit and intend to vigorously defend the case and prosecute the counterclaim.

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting Compliance

Section 16(a) of the Exchange Act requires the Company’s executive officers, directors and beneficial owners of more than 10% of the Company’s common stock to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC and to furnish the Company with copies of all such reports they file.  Based solely on its review of the copies of such reports received by it, or on written representations from such persons, the Company believes that, during 2012, all Section 16(a) filing requirements applicable to its executive officers, directors and 10% stockholders were complied with, except that Form 3 filings for our directors who joined the Board as a result of the January 24, 2012 Merger (Anderton, Lindblom, Breukelman, Blake and Outwater) were filed on February 10, 2012, and the Form 3’s for Messrs. Davis and Banks, who joined the Board on October 1, 2012, were filed on January 17 and 24, 2013, respectively.

Executive Employment, Termination and Change of Control Arrangements

Our Board established a compensation committee consisting of Ms. Blake and Mr. Brukelman in March 2013. No officer (including officers serving on the Board) or other employee participated in the Board’s deliberations concerning our executive officers’ compensation in 2012.

Equity Compensation Plan Information

The Company has two plans under which stock options are currently outstanding or pursuant to which stock options may be granted, the 2009 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan and the 2012 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan. The terms of each plan are substantially the same.
 
Options granted under each plan may be incentive stock options qualified under Section 422 of the Internal Revenue Code or non-qualified stock options. In October 2012, the Company approved the 2012 Employee, Director and Consultant Stock Option Plan (“the Plan”) and authorized an additional option pool of 7,500,000 shares. Under the terms of both plans stock options typically vest over a 3 year period and have a life of 10 years from the date granted. The Company has the right to accelerate the option vesting of certain employees who terminated their employment subsequent to issuance, but agree to work in a consulting capacity.

Reverse Merger with BTI

Trunity, Inc. was formed on July 28, 2009 through the acquisition of certain intellectual property by its three founders, Terry B. Anderton, Dr. Joakim Lindblom and Les V. Anderton.  In early 2012, the Company became a publicly-traded company through a reverse merger with Brain Tree International, Inc., a Utah corporation (“BTI”). At the time of the reverse merger, BTI was a shell company with no assets.

On January 24, 2012, the Company, Trunity, Inc. and Trunity Acquisition Corporation (“TAC”), a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”). Pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement, on January 24, 2012, TAC merged with and into Trunity, Inc. with Trunity, Inc. remaining as the surviving corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company (the “Merger”). As consideration for the Merger, as of the closing of the Merger, (i) each of the 961,974 shares of common stock of the Company owned by Trunity, Inc. was cancelled, (ii) each issued and outstanding share of common stock of Trunity, Inc. was converted into the right to receive one share of the common stock of the Company; and (iii) each share of TAC was converted into one share of Trunity common stock. As a result of the Merger, the former shareholders of Trunity, Inc. held 99% of the common stock of the Company.
 
In order to facilitate the reverse merger transaction, immediately prior to execution of the Merger Agreement, Trunity, Inc. acquired a 90.1% interest in BTI pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement among BTI and the three principal shareholders of the Company. As a result of the transaction, Trunity, Inc. acquired 961,974 BTI shares for the price of $325,000 plus 325,000 shares of Trunity, Inc. common stock. As part of the transaction, on January 24, 2012, immediately prior to the Merger, BTI reincorporated in Delaware and changed its name from Brain Tree International, Inc. to Trunity Holdings, Inc. Pursuant to the reincorporation, 105,064 minority shares of BTI automatically converted into the same number of common stock of the Company.

Director Independence
 
We do not have securities listed on a national securities exchange or in an inter-dealer quotation system. As such, there is no requirement that a majority of the members of our Board of Directors be independent. Nonetheless, our Board of Directors, in the exercise of reasonable business judgment, determined that a majority of our directors should qualify as independent directors pursuant to SEC rules and regulations and the independence standards of the listing requirements of The NASDAQ Stock Market. Under these standards, a director is not “independent” if he or she has certain specified relationships with the Company or any other relationships that, in the opinion of the Board, would interfere with his exercise of independent judgment as a director.
 
In particular and subject to some exceptions, the NASDAQ rules generally provide that a director will not be independent if:
 
the director is, or in the past three years has been, employed by the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
   
the director has an immediate family member who is, or in the past three years has been, an executive officer of the Company or any of its subsidiaries;
   
the director or a member of the director’s immediate family has received payments from the Company of more than $120,000 during any period of twelve consecutive months within the past three years other than for service as a director;
   
the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is a current partner of our independent auditors, or is, or in the past three years, has been, employed by our independent auditors in a professional capacity and worked on the Company’s audit;
   
the director or member of the director’s immediate family is, or in the past three years has been, employed as an executive officer of a Company where the Company’s executive officer serves on the compensation committee; or
   
the director or a member of the director’s immediate family is a partner in, or a controlling stockholder or an executive officer of, an entity that makes payments to or receive payments from the Company in an amount which, in any fiscal year during the past three years, exceeds the greater of $200,000 or 5% of the other entity’s consolidated gross revenues.
 
 
68

 
 
Based on its review of the foregoing standards, the Board of Directors has affirmatively determined that our independent directors are: David Breukelman, Jude Blake and Richard Davis.

4.            Investor Status .  Investor certifies that Investor is an “ Accredited Investor ” as defined in Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933, as indicated on Exhibit “D” attached.
 
5.            Other Securities Issues .  Investor represents and warrants to the Company that:
 
5.1            Risk of Loss .  Investor recognizes that the Company is a startup enterprise with a limited operating history and substantial accumulated losses and that an investment in the Company is speculative and involves substantial risks that could result in the loss of Investor’s entire investment.  Investor has carefully read and understood the Risk Factors set forth in the 8-K Report.  Investor is able, without impairing Investor’s financial condition, to hold the Securities for an indefinite period and to suffer a complete loss of Investor’s investment in the Securities.
 
5.2            No Minimum .  Investor acknowledges and understands that there is no minimum principal amount of Debentures which must be sold in the subject offering of up to $1,809,700 principal amount of Debentures (the “Offering”) and that, consequently, upon closing of the sale contemplated by this Agreement the Company may immediately use the purchase funds as working capital.  Investor recognizes that his investment may be jeopardized by the Company’s failure to raise sufficient funds after closing on his Debenture purchase and that due to such failure the Company may have to cease operations.
 
5.3            Investment Intent .  Investor certifies that he is purchasing the Debenture for investment for Investor’s own account and not on behalf of any other person, nor with a view to, or for resale or other distribution of the Securities.
 
5.4            No Registration .  Investor acknowledges and understands that the Securities (a) have not been registered under either federal or state securities laws, (b) are being offered and sold to Investor pursuant to exemptions from registration under the Securities Act of 1933 and comparable state securities exemptions, and (c) no federal or state agency has made any finding or determination as to the fairness of this Offering for investment, nor any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities.
 
 
 

 
 
5.5            Limited Reliance .  Investor has relied solely on the information contained in this Agreement and the Disclosure Documents in making a decision to acquire the Debenture.  Investor has not relied on any representations or warranties made by anyone apart from those set forth in this Agreement and in the Disclosure Documents.
 
5.6            Legend .  Investor consents to the placement of a legend on the certificates that represent the Shares in substantially the following form:
 
“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 NOR REGISTERED NOR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS.  SUCH SECURITIES MAY NOT BE OFFERED FOR SALE, SOLD, DELIVERED AFTER SALE, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED, OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS QUALIFIED AND REGISTERED UNDER APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL SECURITIES LAWS OR UNLESS, IN THE OPINION OF COUNSEL REASONABLY SATISFACTORY TO THE CORPORATION, SUCH QUALIFICATION AND REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED.”
 
and any other legend the Company determines is authorized or required pursuant to this Agreement.
 
5.7            Restrictions on Transfer .  Investor understands and acknowledges that, in addition to the restrictions on transfer of the Securities, as set forth herein, (a) no assignment, sale, transfer, exchange or other disposition of the Securities or other securities of the Company can be made except in accordance with applicable federal and state securities laws; (b) the Securities may not be sold or otherwise distributed in the absence of registration of the Securities or an exemption from the registration requirements of federal and state securities laws; and (c) the Company is not obligated to take any actions to register the Securities or make available any exemptions from federal or state registration requirements.
 
5.8            Residence and Information .  Investor certifies that Investor is a resident of the state set forth below and that all information in this Agreement and provided pursuant to this Agreement is true and correct in all material aspects.
 
5.9            Independent Advice .  Investor understands that this Agreement contains provisions that may have significant legal, financial and tax consequences for Investor.  Investor acknowledges that the Company has recommended that Investor seek independent legal, tax and financial advice before entering into this Agreement.
 
6.            Indemnification by Investor .  Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its officers, directors, agents, representatives and employees from and against all liability, damage, loss, cost, fees, and expense (including reasonable paralegal and attorneys’ fees, whether incurred pre-suit, or related to litigation or any appellate proceeding) which any of them incurs directly or indirectly by reason of (a) the failure of the Investor to fulfill any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, (b) any inaccuracy or omission in the information furnished to the Company by Investor, or (c) any breach of any representation or warranty made by the Investor in this Agreement (including all exhibits hereto), or in any document provided by the Investor to the Company in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement.
 
 
 

 
 
7.            Confidentiality .  Investor recognizes that, due to the nature of Investor’s relationship with the Company, Investor will have access to, and that there will be disclosed during the course of such relationship, Confidential Information owned by the Company.  As used, “Confidential Information” means all nonpublic information, data, and materials relating to any business or other activity of the Company (and any third party which the Company is under an obligation to keep confidential and that is maintained by the Company as confidential) or used by the Company or such third parties in their business or other activity, either now or in the future.  Investor expressly acknowledges and agrees that disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Company would severely affect the Company’s business and/or the business of the Company’s clients and provide the recipient of the Confidential Information with a substantial and unfair competitive advantage.  Therefore, during the term of Investor’s relationship with the Company and at all times thereafter, regardless of the circumstances surrounding any termination of this relationship, Investor agrees to keep secret the Confidential Information and all confidential matters relating to the Company entrusted to Investor or learned by Investor and to not use or attempt to use for any purpose whatsoever (other than the furtherance of the Company’s business), or disclose to any person, any Confidential Information.
 
8.            Transfer Restrictions .  Investor understands that the Securities are “restricted securities” under the Securities Act of 1933 in that the Securities will be acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that the Securities may not be resold without registration or an exemption under the Act.  In this connection, Investor understands the resale limitations imposed by the Act and is familiar with SEC Rule 144, as presently in effect, and, to the extent this Rule applies, the conditions which must be met in order for that Rule to be available for resale of “restricted securities.”
 
9.            Arbitration .  If any dispute, controversy, or claim arises between the parties out of or in relation to this Agreement, or the breach, termination, or invalidity thereof, both parties by mutual negotiation shall attempt to come to a reasonable settlement of the same as soon as possible.  If the parties are unable to reach a settlement within 30 days from the first notification of the dispute in writing, the same shall be settled by binding arbitration.  The appointing authority shall be the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) office located in Boston, Massachusetts, and the case shall be administered by the same authority in accordance with its procedures for cases under the AAA’s Commercial Arbitration Rules.  The place of arbitration shall be Boston, Massachusetts, or such other location as the parties may agree.  The number of arbitrators shall be one, unless the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator.  In such event, the parties shall each choose one arbitrator, and these two arbitrators shall choose a third arbitrator who shall preside over the proceedings.  The award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and binding upon both parties concerned, and judgment upon the award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof.  The allocation of the expenses of the arbitration shall be effected by the arbitration decision.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction.
 
10.            General Provisions .  This Agreement will be enforced, governed and construed exclusively under the laws of the State of Delaware.  The parties consent to the jurisdiction of and venue in any appropriate court in Essex County, Massachusetts, for enforcement of any arbitration award. This Agreement is binding upon Investor, Investor’s heirs, estate, legal representatives, successors and assigns, and is for the benefit of the Company, its successors and assigns.  If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid, the remaining terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect to the extent possible.  This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties, and supersedes all previous agreements, written or oral, with regard to Investor’s purchase of a Debenture.  Any agreement to waive or modify any term of this Agreement must be in writing signed by both parties.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, all of which shall constitute but one and the same instrument.  Except as specifically provided to the contrary, all monetary references herein are to United States Dollars.,
 
 
 

 
 
11.            Florida Residents .  The Securities referred to herein will be sold to, and acquired by, the holder in a transaction exempt under Section 517.061, Florida Statutes .  The securities have not been registered for sale in the State of Florida.  In addition, all Florida residents have the privilege of voiding their purchase within three days after the first tender of consideration is made by the purchaser to the Company, an agent of the Company, or an escrow agent or within three days after the availability of that privilege is communicated to such purchaser, whichever occurs later.  The availability of that privilege is hereby communicated to Investor.
 
12.             Forward-Looking Statements .  Investor acknowledges and understands the following:  The Disclosure Documents provided to prospective Investors contain certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  Such forward-looking statements are based on the beliefs of the Company’s management as well as on assumptions made by and information currently available to the Company as of the date of the Disclosure Documents.  When used in the Disclosure Documents, the words “plan,” “will,” “may,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “project” and similar expressions, as they relate to the Company, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements.  Although the Company believes these statements are reasonable, prospective Investors should be aware that actual actions, operations and results could differ materially from those indicated by such forward-looking statements as a result of the risk factors included in the Disclosure Documents or other factors.  Prospective Investors should consider carefully these factors, as well as the other information and data included in the Disclosure Documents.  The Company cautions each prospective Investor, however, that this list of factors may not be exhaustive and that these or other factors, many of which are outside of the Company’s control, could have a material adverse effect on the Company and its ability to achieve its objectives.  Furthermore, the Company may not update or revise the forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events.  Prospective Investors are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any of the forward-looking statements included in the Disclosure Documents.  All forward-looking statements attributable to the Company or persons acting on its behalf are expressly qualified in their entirety by the cautionary statements set forth above.

Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s).  The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within 5 Business Days of deemed delivery of such Notice of Conversion.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof.
 
 
 

 
 
b)            Conversion Price .  The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to $0.35, subject to adjustment herein (the “ Conversion Price ”).
 
c)            Mechanics of Conversion .
 
i.              Units Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount .  The number of Units issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.
 
ii.              Delivery of Certificates Upon Conversion . Not later than five Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) certificates representing the Conversion Shares and Warrants representing the number of Units being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture, and (B) with respect to accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of this Debenture so converted (i) a bank check or (ii) Interest Conversion Shares in accordance with Section 2.
 
iii.              Failure to Deliver Certificates .  In the case of any Notice of Conversion, if certificates representing the Conversion Shares and Warrants (and, if applicable, the Interest Conversion Shares) are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the fifth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock and Warrant certificates representing the principal amount of this Debenture unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Company.
 
iv.              Obligation Absolute .  The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares and Warrants upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided , however , that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder.  In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained.  In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares and Warrants, upon a properly noticed conversion.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares and Warrants within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
 
 
 

 
 
v.              Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion .  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and exercise of the Warrants and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and exercise of all of the Warrants issuable upon conversion and payment of interest hereunder.  The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue in accordance with the terms of this Debenture or the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with its terms, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
vi.              Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture.  As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
vii.              Transfer Taxes .  The issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares and Warrants on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.
 
 
 

 
 
Section 5.                        Certain Adjustments .
 
a)            Stock Dividends and Stock Splits .  If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Debentures), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants to be issued upon subsequent conversion of the Debenture shall be adjusted in proportion to such adjustment to the Conversion Price.
 
b)            Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had converted the Debenture immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction and had held the Conversion Shares and Warrants on the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction (the “ Alternate Consideration ”).  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new Debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such Debenture into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 5(b) and ensuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.
 
 
 

 
 
c)            Calculations .  All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest 1/100th of a share, as the case may be.  For purposes of this Section 5, the number of shares of Common Stock deemed to be issued and outstanding as of a given date shall be the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) issued and outstanding.
 
d)            Notice to the Holder .
 
i.              Adjustment to Conversion Price .  Whenever the Conversion Price is adjusted pursuant to any provision of this Section 5, the Company shall promptly deliver to each Holder a notice setting forth the Conversion Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.
 
ii.              Notice to Allow Conversion by Holder .  If (A) the Company shall declare a dividend (or any other distribution in whatever form) on the Common Stock, (B) the Company shall declare a special nonrecurring cash dividend on or a redemption of the Common Stock, (C) the Company shall authorize the granting to all holders of the Common Stock of rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights, (D) the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any reclassification of the Common Stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, of any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property or (E) the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company, then, in each case, the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of conversion of this Debenture, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder at its last address as it shall appear upon the Debenture Register, at least 20 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice stating (x) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of the Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (y) the date on which such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of the Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of the Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange, provided that the failure to deliver such notice or any defect therein or in the delivery thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  The Holder is entitled to convert this Debenture during the 20-day period commencing on the date of such notice through the effective date of the event triggering such notice.
 
 
 

 
 
Section 6.                        Optional Redemption and Forced Conversion .
 
a)            Optional Redemption at Election of Company .  Subject to the provisions of this Section 6(a), the Company may deliver at any time a notice to the Holder (an “ Optional Redemption Notice ” and the date such notice is deemed delivered hereunder, the “ Optional Redemption Notice Date ”) of its irrevocable election to redeem any part or all of the then outstanding principal amount of this Debenture for cash in an amount equal to the Optional Redemption Amount on the 20th Business Day following the Optional Redemption Notice Date (such date, the “ Optional Redemption Date ”, such 20 Business Day period, the “ Optional Redemption Period ” and such redemption, the “ Optional Redemption ”).
 
b)            Redemption Procedure .  The payment of cash pursuant to an Optional Redemption shall be payable in full on the Optional Redemption Date.  Notwithstanding anything herein contained to the contrary, if any portion of the Optional Redemption Amount remains unpaid after such date, the Holder may elect, by written notice to the Company given at any time thereafter and upon return of funds paid by the Company on any portion of such Optional Redemption Amount, to invalidate such Optional Redemption, ab initio, and, with respect to the Company’s failure to honor the Optional Redemption, the Company shall have no further right to exercise any Optional Redemption. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6, the Company’s determination to redeem in cash under Section 6(a) shall be applied ratably among the Holders of then outstanding Debentures. The Holder may elect to convert the outstanding principal amount of the Debenture pursuant to Section 4 prior to actual payment in cash for any Optional Redemption under this Section 6 by the delivery of a Notice of Conversion to the Company during the Option Redemption Period.  The Company covenants and agrees that it will honor all Notices of Conversion tendered during the Option Redemption Period.
 
Section 7.                        Events of Default .
 
a)           “ Event of Default ” means, wherever used herein, any of the following events (whatever the reason for such event and whether such event shall be voluntary or involuntary or effected by operation of law or pursuant to any judgment, decree or order of any court, or any order, rule or regulation of any administrative or governmental body):
 
i.             any default in the payment of (A) the principal amount of any Debenture or (B) interest and other amounts owing to a Holder on any Debenture, as and when the same shall become due and payable (whether on a Conversion Date, the Maturity Date, by Optional Redemption or by acceleration or otherwise) which default, solely in the case of an interest payment or other default under clause (B) above, is not cured within five Business Days;
 
ii.             the Company shall fail to observe or perform any other covenant or agreement contained in the Debentures which failure is not cured, if possible to cure, within 10 Business Days after notice of such failure sent by the Holder or by any other Holder to the Company; and
 
 
 

 
 
iii.             the Company or any Significant Subsidiary (as such term is defined in Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X)  shall be subject to a Bankruptcy Event.
 
b)            Remedies Upon Event of Default .  If any Event of Default occurs, the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture, plus accrued but unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof through the date of acceleration, shall become, at the Holder’s election, immediately due and payable in cash.  Commencing five Business Days after the occurrence of any Event of Default that results in the eventual acceleration of this Debenture, the interest rate on this Debenture shall accrue at an interest rate equal to the lesser of 12% per annum or the maximum rate permitted under applicable law.  Upon the payment in full of this Debenture, the Holder shall promptly surrender this Debenture to or as directed by the Company.  In connection with such acceleration described herein, the Holder need not provide, and the Company hereby waives, any presentment, demand, protest or other notice of any kind, and the Holder may immediately and without expiration of any grace period enforce any and all of its rights and remedies hereunder and all other remedies available to it under applicable law.  Such acceleration may be rescinded and annulled by Holder at any time prior to payment hereunder and the Holder shall have all rights as a holder of the Debenture until such time, if any, as the Holder receives full payment pursuant to this Section 7(b).  No such rescission or annulment shall affect any subsequent Event of Default or impair any right consequent thereon.
 
Section 8.                        Miscellaneous .
 
a)             Notices .  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Holder hereunder, including, without limitation, any Notice of Conversion, shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, by any form of electronic communication by means of which a written or typed copy is produced at the address of the Company, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service, addressed to the Company, at the address set forth above, or such other facsimile number or address as the Company may specify for such purpose by notice to the Holder delivered in accordance with this Section 8(a).  Any and all notices or other communications or deliveries to be provided by the Company hereunder shall be in writing and delivered personally, by facsimile, by any form of electronic communication by means of which a written or typed copy is produced at the address of the Holder, or sent by a nationally recognized overnight courier service addressed to each Holder at the facsimile number or address of the Holder appearing on the books of the Company, or if no such facsimile number or address appears, at the principal place of business of the Holder.  Any notice or other communication or deliveries hereunder shall be deemed given and effective on the earliest of (i) the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified on the signature page prior to 5:30 p.m. (New York City time), (ii) the date immediately following the date of transmission, if such notice or communication is delivered via facsimile at the facsimile number specified on the signature page between 5:30 p.m. (New York City time) and 11:59 p.m. (New York City time) on any date, (iii) the next day following the date of transmission if sent by other electronic means; (iv) the second Business Day following the date of mailing, if sent by nationally recognized overnight courier service or (v) upon actual receipt by the party to whom such notice is required to be given.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, TRUNITY HOLDINGS, INC. , a Delaware corporation (the “ Company ”), hereby certifies that _____________, an individual (the “ Holder ”) is entitled, subject to the provisions of this warrant (“ Warrant ”), to purchase from the Company up to 50,000 shares of common stock (the “ Common Shares ”), par value $0.0001 per share (the “ Common Stock ”), of the Company at an exercise price per Common Share equal to $0.40 per Common Share  (the “ Exercise Price ”), during the period commencing on the date hereof and expiring at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard time, on ____________, _______.
 
The number of Common Shares to be received upon the exercise of this Warrant may be adjusted from time to time as hereinafter set forth.  The Common Shares deliverable upon such exercise, or the entitlement thereto upon such exercise, and as adjusted from time to time, are hereinafter sometimes referred to as “ Warrant Stock .”  The Warrants issued on the same date hereof bearing the same terms and conditions as this Warrant shall be collectively referred to as the “ Warrants .”
 
The Holder agrees with the Company that this Warrant is issued, and all the rights hereunder shall be held subject to, all of the conditions, limitations and provisions set forth herein.
 
 
 

 
 
 
1.
EXERCISE OF WARRANT
 
(a)            By Payment of Cash.   This Warrant may be exercised by its presentation and surrender to the Company at its principal office (or such office or agency of the Company as it may designate in writing to the Holder hereof), commencing on ________, 20__ (“ Date of Issuance ”) and expiring at 5:00 P.M., Eastern Standard time, on ________, 20__ (“ Expiration Date ”), with the Warrant Exercise Form attached hereto duly executed and accompanied by payment (either in cash or by certified or official bank check or by wire transfer, payable to the order of the Company) of the Exercise Price for the number of shares specified in such Form.
 
The Company agrees that the Holder hereof shall be deemed the record owner of such Common Shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been presented and payment made for such Common Shares as aforesaid whether or not the Company or its transfer agent is open for business.  Certificates for the Common Shares so purchased shall be delivered to the Holder hereof within a reasonable time, not exceeding 15 days, after the rights represented by this Warrant shall have been so exercised.  If this Warrant should be exercised in part only, the Company shall, upon surrender of this Warrant for cancellation, execute and deliver a new Warrant evidencing the rights of the Holder hereof to purchase the balance of the shares purchasable hereunder as soon as reasonably possible.
 
(b)            Cashless Exercise.   In lieu of the payment method set forth in Section 1(a) above, the Holder may elect to exchange all or some of this Warrant for the Common Shares equal to the value of the amount of this Warrant being exchanged on the date of exchange.  If the Holder elects to exchange this Warrant as provided in this Section 1(b), the Holder shall tender to the Company this Warrant for the amount being exchanged, along with written notice of the Holder’s election to exchange some or all of this Warrant, and the Company shall issue to the Holder the number of Common Shares computed using the following formula:
 
X  =  Y (A-B)  
A
 
Where:                      X =           The number of Common Shares to be issued to the Holder.
 
 
Y =
The number of Common Shares purchasable under the amount of this Warrant being exchanged (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

A =           The Market Price of one Common Share.

B =           The Exercise Price (as adjusted to the date of such calculation).

ADJUSTMENT OF EXERCISE PRICE
 
(a)            Stock Splits, Subdivisions or Combinations; Common Stock Dividends; Reclassification.   If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, (a) shall fix a record date for the effectuation of a split, subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, (b) shall pay a stock dividend on its Common Stock, or (c) issue by reclassification of shares of Common Stock any shares of capital stock of the Company, then (i) the Exercise Price shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after such event and (ii) the number of shares of the Warrant Stock shall be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section 5(a) shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution or, in the case of a subdivision or re-classification, shall become effective immediately after the effective date thereof.
 
(b)            Subscription Rights.   If the Company, at any time while this Warrant is outstanding, shall fix a record date for the distribution to holders of its Common Stock, evidence of its indebtedness or assets or rights, options, warrants or other security entitling them to subscribe for or purchase, convert to, exchange for or otherwise acquire any security (excluding those referred to in Section 5(a) above), then in each such case the Exercise Price at which this Warrant shall thereafter be exercisable shall be determined by multiplying the Exercise Price in effect immediately prior to such record date by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the per-share Market Price on such record date less the then fair market value at such record date of the portion of such assets or evidence of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one outstanding share of Common Stock as determined by the Board of Directors in good faith, and the denominator of which shall be the Exercise Price as of such record date; provided, however, that in the event of a distribution exceeding 10% of the net assets of the Company, such fair market value shall be determined by an appraiser selected in good faith by the registered owners of a majority of the Warrant Stock then outstanding; and provided, further, that the Company, after receipt of the determination by such appraiser shall have the right to select in good faith an additional appraiser meeting the same qualifications, in which case the fair market value shall be equal to the average of the determinations by each such appraiser.  Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective immediately after the record date mentioned above.
 
 
 

 
 
(c)            Rounding.   All calculations under this Section 5 shall be made to the nearest cent or the nearest l/l00th of a share, as the case may be.
 
(d)            Notice of Adjustment.   Whenever the Exercise Price is adjusted pursuant to this Section 5, the Company shall promptly deliver to the Holder a notice setting forth the Exercise Price after such adjustment and setting forth a brief statement of the facts requiring such adjustment.  Such notice shall be signed by the chairman, president or chief financial officer of the Company.
 
(e)            Treasury Shares.   The number of shares of Common Stock outstanding at any given time shall not include shares owned or held by or for the account of the Company, and the disposition of any shares so owned or held shall be considered an issue or sale of Common Stock by the Company.
 
(f)            Change of Control; Compulsory Share Exchange.   In case of (A) any Change of Control Transaction (as defined below) or (B) any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property (each, an “ Event ”), lawful provision shall be made so that the Holder shall have the right thereafter to exercise this Warrant for shares of stock and other securities, cash and property receivable upon or deemed to be held by holders of Common Stock following such Event, and the Holder shall be entitled upon such Event to receive such amount of shares of stock and other securities, cash or property as the shares of the Common Stock of the Company into which this Warrant could have been exercised immediately prior to such Event (without taking into account any limitations or restrictions on the exercisability of this Warrant) would have been entitled; provided, however, that in the case of a transaction specified in (A), above, in which holders of the Company’s Common Stock receive cash, the Holder shall have the right to exercise the Warrant for such number of shares of the surviving company equal to the amount of cash into which this Warrant is then exercisable, divided by the fair market value of the shares of the surviving company on the effective date of such Event.  The terms of any such Event shall include such terms so as to continue to give to the Holder the right to receive the securities, cash or property set forth in this Section 5(f) upon any exercise or redemption following such Event, and, in the case of an Event specified in (A), above, the successor corporation or other entity (if other than the Company) resulting from such reorganization, merger or consolidation, or the person acquiring the properties and assets, or such other controlling corporation or entity as may be appropriate, shall expressly assume the obligation to deliver the securities or other assets which the Holder is entitled to receive hereunder.  The provisions of this Section 5(f) shall similarly apply to successive Events. “ Change of Control Transaction ” means the occurrence of any (i) merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another entity, unless the holders of the Company’s securities immediately prior to such transaction or series of transactions continue to hold at least 50% of such securities following such transaction or series of transactions, (ii) a sale, conveyance, lease, transfer or disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company in one or a series of related transactions or (iii) the execution by the Company of an agreement to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound, providing for any of the events set forth above in (i) or (ii).
 
 
 

 
 
(g)            Notice of Certain Events .  If:

(iii)           the Company shall authorize the granting to the holders of all of its Common Stock rights or warrants to subscribe for or purchase any shares of capital stock of any class or of any rights;
 
(iv)           the approval of any stockholders of the Company shall be required in connection with any capital reorganization, reclassification of the Company’s capital stock, any consolidation or merger to which the Company is a party, any sale or transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company, or any compulsory share exchange whereby the Common Stock is converted into other securities, cash or property; or
 
(v)           the Company shall authorize the voluntary or involuntary dissolution, liquidation or winding up of the affairs of the Company;
 
then the Company shall cause to be filed at each office or agency maintained for the purpose of exercise of this Warrant, and shall cause to be delivered to the Holder, at least 30 calendar days prior to the applicable record or effective date hereinafter specified, a notice (provided such notice shall not include any material non-public information) stating (a) the date on which a record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution, redemption, rights or warrants, or if a record is not to be taken, the date as of which the holders of Common Stock of record to be entitled to such dividend, distributions, redemption, rights or warrants are to be determined or (b) the date on which such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange is expected to become effective or close, and the date as of which it is expected that holders of Common Stock of record shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock for securities, cash or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, consolidation, merger, sale, transfer or share exchange; provided, however, that the failure to mail such notice or any defect therein or in the mailing thereof shall not affect the validity of the corporate action required to be specified in such notice.  Nothing herein shall prohibit the Holder from exercising this Warrant during the 30-day period commencing on the date of such notice.
 
 
 

 
 
(h)            Increase in Exercise Price.   In no event shall any provision in this Section 5 cause the Exercise Price to be greater than the Exercise Price on the date of issuance of this Warrant, except for a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares as referenced in Section 5(a) above.

Prior to due presentment for transfer to the Company of this Debenture, the Company and any agent of the Company may treat the Person in whose name this Debenture is duly registered on the Debenture Register as the owner hereof for the purpose of receiving payment as herein provided and for all other purposes, whether or not this Debenture is overdue, and neither the Company nor any such agent shall be affected by notice to the contrary.
 
Section 4.                          Conversion .
 
a)   Voluntary Conversion . At any time after the Original Issue Date and until this Debenture is no longer outstanding, this Debenture shall be convertible, in whole or in part, into Units at the option of the Holder, at any time and from time to time.  The Holder shall effect conversions by delivering to the Company a Notice of Conversion, the form of which is attached hereto as Annex A (each, a “ Notice of Conversion ”), specifying therein the principal amount of this Debenture to be converted and the date on which such conversion shall be effected (such date, the “ Conversion Date ”).  If no Conversion Date is specified in a Notice of Conversion, the Conversion Date shall be the date that such Notice of Conversion is deemed delivered hereunder.  To effect conversions hereunder, the Holder shall not be required to physically surrender this Debenture to the Company unless the entire principal amount of this Debenture, plus all accrued and unpaid interest thereon, has been so converted. Conversions hereunder shall have the effect of lowering the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture in an amount equal to the applicable conversion.  The Holder and the Company shall maintain records showing the principal amount(s) converted and the date of such conversion(s).  The Company may deliver an objection to any Notice of Conversion within 5 Business Days of deemed delivery of such Notice of Conversion.  In the event of any dispute or discrepancy, the records of the Holder shall be controlling and determinative in the absence of manifest error. The Holder, and any assignee by acceptance of this Debenture, acknowledge and agree that, by reason of the provisions of this paragraph, following conversion of a portion of this Debenture, the unpaid and unconverted principal amount of this Debenture may be less than the amount stated on the face hereof .
 
 
4

 
 
b)   Conversion Price .  The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date shall be equal to CAD$0.35, subject to adjustment herein (the “ Conversion Price ”); provided , however , that, unless a Liquidity Event (as defined in the Subscription Agreement) has occurred on or prior to the Liquidity Deadline (as defined in the Subscription Agreement), then the Conversion Price will, immediately after the Liquidity Deadline, be reduced to CAD$0.32, without any further action on the part of the Holder.
 
c)   Mechanics of Conversion .
 
i.   Units Issuable Upon Conversion of Principal Amount .  The number of Units issuable upon a conversion hereunder shall be determined by the quotient obtained by dividing (x) the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture to be converted by (y) the Conversion Price.
 
ii.   Delivery of Certificates Upon Conversion . Not later than five Trading Days after each Conversion Date (the “ Share Delivery Date ”), the Company shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, to the Holder (A) certificates representing the Conversion Shares and Warrants representing the number of Units being acquired upon the conversion of this Debenture, and (B) with respect to accrued and unpaid interest on the principal amount of this Debenture so converted (i) a bank check or (ii) Interest Conversion Shares in accordance with Section 2.
 
iii.   Failure to Deliver Certificates .  In the case of any Notice of Conversion, if certificates representing the Conversion Shares and Warrants (and, if applicable, the Interest Conversion Shares) are not delivered to or as directed by the applicable Holder by the fifth Trading Day after the Conversion Date, the Holder shall be entitled to elect by written notice to the Company at any time on or before its receipt of such certificates, to rescind such Conversion, in which event the Company shall promptly return to the Holder any original Debenture delivered to the Company and the Holder shall promptly return to the Company the Common Stock and Warrant certificates representing the principal amount of this Debenture unsuccessfully tendered for conversion to the Company.
 
 
5

 
 
iv.   Obligation Absolute .  The Company’s obligations to issue and deliver the Conversion Shares and Warrants upon conversion of this Debenture in accordance with the terms hereof are absolute and unconditional, irrespective of any action or inaction by the Holder to enforce the same, any waiver or consent with respect to any provision hereof, the recovery of any judgment against any Person or any action to enforce the same, or any setoff, counterclaim, recoupment, limitation or termination, or any breach or alleged breach by the Holder or any other Person of any obligation to the Company or any violation or alleged violation of law by the Holder or any other Person, and irrespective of any other circumstance which might otherwise limit such obligation of the Company to the Holder in connection with the issuance of such Conversion Shares; provided , however , that such delivery shall not operate as a waiver by the Company of any such action the Company may have against the Holder.  In the event the Holder of this Debenture shall elect to convert any or all of the outstanding principal amount hereof, the Company may not refuse conversion based on any claim that the Holder or anyone associated or affiliated with the Holder has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless an injunction from a court, on notice to Holder, restraining and/or enjoining conversion of all or part of this Debenture shall have been sought and obtained.  In the absence of such injunction, the Company shall issue Conversion Shares and Warrants, upon a properly noticed conversion.  Nothing herein shall limit a Holder’s right to pursue actual damages or declare an Event of Default pursuant to Section 7 hereof for the Company’s failure to deliver Conversion Shares and Warrants within the period specified herein and the Holder shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it hereunder, at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  The exercise of any such rights shall not prohibit the Holder from seeking to enforce damages pursuant to any other Section hereof or under applicable law.
 
v.   Reservation of Shares Issuable Upon Conversion .  The Company covenants that it will at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock for the sole purpose of issuance upon conversion of this Debenture and exercise of the Warrants and payment of interest on this Debenture, each as herein provided, free from preemptive rights or any other actual contingent purchase rights of Persons other than the Holder (and the other holders of the Debentures), not less than such aggregate number of shares of the Common Stock as shall be issuable (taking into account the adjustments and restrictions of Section 5) upon the conversion of the outstanding principal amount of this Debenture and exercise of all of the Warrants issuable upon conversion and payment of interest hereunder.  The Company covenants that all shares of Common Stock that shall be so issuable shall, upon issue in accordance with the terms of this Debenture or the exercise of the Warrant in accordance with its terms, be duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.
 
vi.   Fractional Shares . No fractional shares or scrip representing fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of this Debenture.  As to any fraction of a share which Holder would otherwise be entitled to purchase upon such conversion, the Company shall at its election, either pay a cash adjustment in respect of such final fraction in an amount equal to such fraction multiplied by the Conversion Price or round up to the next whole share.
 
vii.   Transfer Taxes .  The issuance of certificates for Conversion Shares and Warrants on conversion of this Debenture shall be made without charge to the Holder hereof for any documentary stamp or similar taxes that may be payable in respect of the issue or delivery of such certificates; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay any tax that may be payable in respect of any transfer involved in the issuance and delivery of any such certificate upon conversion in a name other than that of the Holder of this Debenture so converted and the Company shall not be required to issue or deliver such certificates unless or until the person or persons requesting the issuance thereof shall have paid to the Company the amount of such tax or shall have established to the satisfaction of the Company that such tax has been paid.

Section 5.                          Certain Adjustments .
 
a)   Stock Dividends and Stock Splits .  If the Company, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding: (i) pays a stock dividend or otherwise makes a distribution or distributions payable in shares of Common Stock on shares of Common Stock (which, for avoidance of doubt, shall not include any shares of Common Stock issued by the Company upon conversion of, or payment of interest on, the Debentures), (ii) subdivides outstanding shares of Common Stock into a larger number of shares, (iii) combines (including by way of a reverse stock split) outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issues, in the event of a reclassification of shares of the Common Stock, any shares of capital stock of the Company, then the Conversion Price shall be multiplied by a fraction of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock (excluding any treasury shares of the Company) outstanding immediately before such event and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event.  Any adjustment made pursuant to this Section shall become effective immediately after the record date for the determination of stockholders entitled to receive such dividend or distribution and shall become effective immediately after the effective date in the case of a subdivision, combination or re classification. In addition, the exercise price of the Warrants to be issued upon subsequent conversion of the Debenture shall be adjusted in proportion to such adjustment to the Conversion Price.
 
b)   Fundamental Transaction . If, at any time while this Debenture is outstanding, (i) the Company effects any merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another Person, (ii) the Company effects any sale of all or substantially all of its assets in one transaction or a series of related transactions, (iii) any tender offer or exchange offer (whether by the Company or another Person) is completed pursuant to which holders of Common Stock are permitted to tender or exchange their shares for other securities, cash or property, or (iv) the Company effects any reclassification of the Common Stock or any compulsory share exchange pursuant to which the Common Stock is effectively converted into or exchanged for other securities, cash or property (in any such case, a “ Fundamental Transaction ”), then, upon any subsequent conversion of this Debenture, the Holder shall have the right to receive the same kind and amount of securities, cash or property as it would have been entitled to receive upon the occurrence of such Fundamental Transaction if it had converted the Debenture immediately prior to such Fundamental Transaction and had held the Conversion Shares and Warrants on the effective date of such Fundamental Transaction (the “ Alternate Consideration ”).  To the extent necessary to effectuate the foregoing provisions, any successor to the Company or surviving entity in such Fundamental Transaction shall issue to the Holder a new Debenture consistent with the foregoing provisions and evidencing the Holder’s right to convert such Debenture into Alternate Consideration. The terms of any agreement pursuant to which a Fundamental Transaction is effected shall include terms requiring any such successor or surviving entity to comply with the provisions of this Section 5(b) and ensuring that this Debenture (or any such replacement security) will be similarly adjusted upon any subsequent transaction analogous to a Fundamental Transaction.

The Plan is intended to encourage ownership of Shares by Key Employees, directors and certain consultants to the Company in order to attract such people, to induce them to work for the benefit of the Company or of an Affiliate and to provide additional incentive for them to promote the success of the Company or of an Affiliate. The Plan provides for the issuance of ISOs and Non-Qualified Options.

3. SHARES SUBJECT TO THE PLAN .

The number of Shares subject to this Plan as to which Options may be granted from time to time shall be 7,500,000, or the equivalent of such number of Shares after the Administrator, in its sole discretion, has interpreted the effect of any stock split, stock dividend, combination, recapitalization or similar transaction in accordance with Section 16 of the Plan.

If an Option ceases to be "outstanding", in whole or in part, the Shares which were subject to such Option shall be available for the granting of other Options under the Plan. Any Option shall be treated as "outstanding" until such Option is exercised in full, or terminates or expires under the provisions of the Plan, or by agreement of the parties to the pertinent Option Agreement.

4. ADMINISTRATION OF THE PLAN .

The Administrator of the Plan will be the Board of Directors, except to the extent the Board of Directors delegates its authority to a Committee of the Board of Directors. Following the date on which the Common Stock is registered under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act"), the Plan is intended to comply in all respects with Rule 16b-3 or its successors, promulgated pursuant to Section 16 of the 1934 Act with respect to Participants who are subject to Section 16 of the 1934 Act, and any provision in this Plan with respect to such persons contrary to Rule 16b-3 shall be deemed null and void to the extent permissible by law and deemed appropriate by the Administrator. Subject to the provisions of the Plan, the Administrator is authorized to:

a.           Interpret the provisions of the Plan or of any Option or Option Agreement and to
make all rules and determinations which it deems necessary or advisable for the
administration of the Plan;

b.           Determine which employees of the Company or of an Affiliate shall be designated
as Key Employees and which of the Key Employees, directors and consultants
shall be granted Options;

c.           Determine the number of Shares for which an Option or Options shall be granted;
and

d. Specify the terms and conditions upon which an Option or Options may be granted;
provided, however, that all such interpretations, rules, determinations, terms and conditions shall be made and prescribed in the context of preserving the tax status under Code Section 422 of those Options which are designated as ISOs. Subject to the foregoing, the interpretation and construction by the Administrator of any provisions of the Plan or of any Option granted under it shall be final, unless otherwise determined by the Board of Directors, if the Administrator is other than the Board of Directors.

5. ELIGIBILITY FOR PARTICIPATION .

The Administrator will, in its sole discretion, name the Participants in the Plan, provided, however, that each Participant must be a Key Employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate at the time an Option is granted. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing provisions, the Administrator may authorize the grant of an Option to a person not then an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate. The actual grant of such Option, however, shall be conditioned upon such person becoming eligible to become a Participant at or prior to the time of the execution of the Option Agreement evidencing such Option. ISOs may be granted only to Key Employees. Non-Qualified Options may be granted to any Key Employee, director or consultant of the Company or an Affiliate. The granting of any Option to any individual shall neither entitle that individual to, nor disqualify him or her from, participation in any other grant of Options.  

 
 
 

 
 
Trunity Holdings, Inc., 15 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950
   
6. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF OPTIONS .

Each Option shall be set forth in writing in an Option Agreement, duly executed by the Company and by the Participant. The Administrator may provide that Options be granted subject to such conditions as the Administrator may deem appropriate including, without limitation, subsequent approval by the stockholders of the Company of this Plan or any amendments thereto. The Option Agreements shall be subject to at least the following terms and conditions:

A. Non-Qualified Options : Each Option intended to be a Non-Qualified Option shall be subject to the terms and conditions which the Administrator determines to be appropriate and in the best interest of the Company, subject to the following minimum standards for any such Non-Qualified Option:

 
a. Option Price: The option price (per share) of the Shares covered by each Option shall be determined by the Administrator but shall not be less than the Fair Market Value of a Share.  

b. Each Option Agreement shall state the number of Shares to which it pertains;

 
c. Each Option Agreement shall state the date or dates on which it first is exercisable and the date after which it may no longer be exercised, and unless otherwise provided in the Option Agreement, shall not become exercisable except immediately preceding an Acquisition, in accordance with Section 16.B. An Option Agreement may provide that the Option rights accrue or become exercisable in installments over a period of months or years, or upon the attainment of stated goals;

 
d. Exercise of any Option may be conditioned upon the Participant's execution of a Share purchase agreement in form satisfactory to the Administrator providing for certain protections for the Company and its other shareholders including requirements that:

i.  
The Participant's or the Participant's Survivors' right to sell the Shares may be restricted;

ii.  
The Participant and any transferee holder of the Shares may be required to vote the Shares in favor of any Acquisition approved by the Board of Directions; and

iii.  
The Participant or the Participant's Survivors may be required to execute letters of investment intent and must also acknowledge that the Shares will bear legends noting any applicable restrictions.
 
 
 

 
 
Trunity Holdings, Inc., 15 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950

 
 
B. ISOs : Each Option intended to be an ISO shall be issued only to a Key Employee and be subject to at least the following terms and conditions, with such additional restrictions or changes as the Administrator determines are appropriate but not in conflict with Code Section 422 and relevant regulations and rulings of the Internal Revenue Service:

 
a. Minimum standards: The ISO shall meet the minimum standards required of Participants who are granted Non-Qualified Options, as described above, except clause (a) thereunder.

 
b. Option Price: Immediately before the Option is granted, if the Participant owns, directly or by reason of the applicable attribution rules in Code Section 424(d):

i.  
Ten percent (10%) or less of the total combined voting power of all classes of share capital of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option price (per share) of the Shares covered by each Option shall not be less than one hundred percent (100%) of the Fair Market Value (per share) of the Shares on the date of the grant of the Option.

ii. More than ten percent (10%) of the total combined voting power of all classes of share capital of the Company or an Affiliate, the Option price (per share) of the Shares covered by each Option shall not be less than one hundred ten percent (110%) of the said Fair Market Value on the date of grant.

c. Term of Option:  For Participants who own

 
i. Ten percent (10%) or less of the total combined voting power of all classes of share capital of the Company or an Affiliate, each Option shall terminate not more than ten (10) years from the date of the grant or at such earlier time as the Option Agreement may provide;

 
ii. More than 10% of the total combined voting power of all classes of share capital of the Company or an Affiliate, each Option shall terminate not more than five (5) years from the date of the grant or at such earlier time as the Option Agreement may provide.

 
d. Medium of Payment: The Option price shall be payable upon the exercise of the Option and only in such form as the Administrator determines and as is permitted by Section 422 of the Code.

 
e. Limitation on Yearly Exercise: The Option Agreements shall restrict the amount of Options which may be exercisable in any calendar year (under this or any other ISO plan of the Company or an Affiliate) so that the aggregate Fair Market Value (determined at the time each ISO is granted) of the stock with respect to which ISOs are exercisable for the first time by the Participant in any calendar year does not exceed one hundred thousand dollars ($100,000), provided that this Section (e) shall have no force or effect if its inclusion in the Plan is not necessary for Options issued as ISOs to qualify as ISOs pursuant to Section 422(d) of the Code.

 
f. Limitation on Grant of ISOs: No ISOs shall be granted after the earlier of ten (10) years from the date of the adoption of the Plan by the Company and the date of the approval of the Plan by the shareholders of the Company.
 
 
 

 
 
Trunity Holdings, Inc., 15 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950
 
7. EXERCISE OF OPTION AND ISSUE OF SHARES .

An Option (or any part or installment thereof) shall be exercised by giving written notice to the Company at its principal office address, together with the tender of the full purchase price for the Shares as to which such Option is being exercised, and upon compliance with any other condition(s) set forth in the Option Agreement. Such written notice shall be signed by the person exercising the Option, shall state the number of Shares with respect to which the Option is being exercised and shall contain any representation required by the Plan or the Option Agreement.  Full payment of the purchase price for the Shares as to which such Option is being exercised shall be made (a) in United States dollars in cash or by check, or (b) at the discretion of the Administrator, through delivery of shares of Common Stock having a fair market value equal as of the date of the exercise to the cash exercise price of the Option, determined in good faith by the Administrator, or (c) at the discretion of the Administrator, by delivery of the grantee's personal recourse note bearing interest payable not less than annually at no less than 100% of the Applicable Federal Rate, as defined in Section 1274(d) of the Code, or (d) at the discretion of the Administrator, in accordance with a so-called cashless exercise plan established with a securities brokerage firm and approved by the Administrator, or (e) at the discretion of the Administrator, by any combination of (a), (b), (c) and (d) above. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator shall accept only such payment on exercise of an ISO as is permitted by Section 422 of the Code.

The Company shall then reasonably promptly deliver the Shares as to which such Option was exercised to the Participant (or to the Participant's Survivors, as the case may be). In determining what constitutes "reasonably promptly," it is expressly understood that the delivery of the Shares may be delayed by the Company in order to comply with any law or regulation which requires the Company to take any action with respect to the Shares prior to their issuance. The Shares shall, upon delivery, be evidenced by an appropriate certificate or certificates for fully paid, non-assessable Shares.

The Administrator shall have the right to accelerate the date of exercise of any installment of any Option; provided that the Administrator shall not accelerate the exercise date of any installment of any Option granted to any Key Employee as an ISO (and not previously converted into a Non-Qualified Option pursuant to Section 19) if such acceleration would violate the annual vesting limitation contained in Section 422(d) of the Code, as described in Section 6.B.(e).

8. RIGHTS AS A SHAREHOLDER .

No Participant to whom an Option has been granted shall have rights as a shareholder with respect to any Shares covered by such Option, except after due exercise of the Option and provision for payment of the full purchase price for the Shares being purchased pursuant to such exercise and registration of the Shares in the Company's share register in the name of the Participant.

 
 

 
 
Trunity Holdings, Inc., 15 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950

 
9. ASSIGNABILITY AND TRANSFERABILITY OF OPTIONS .

By its terms, an Option granted to a Participant shall not be transferable by the Participant other than by will or by the laws of descent and distribution and shall be exercisable, during the Participant's lifetime, only by such Participant (or by his or her legal representative). Such Option shall not be assigned, pledged or hypothecated in any way (whether by operation of law or otherwise) and shall not be subject to execution, attachment or similar process. Any attempted transfer, assignment, pledge, hypothecation or other disposition of any Option or of any rights granted thereunder contrary to the provisions of this Plan, or the levy of any attachment or similar process upon an Option, shall be null and void.

10. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE OTHER THAN "FOR CAUSE" .

Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, in the event of a termination of service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate before the Participant has exercised all Options, the following rules apply:

 
a. A Participant who ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate (for any reason other than termination "for cause", Disability, or death for which events there are special rules in Sections 11, 12, and 13, respectively), may exercise any Option granted to him or her to the extent that the right to purchase Shares has accrued on the date of such termination of service, at any time during a period ending three (3) months after the Participant's termination of employment, director status or consultancy, except as otherwise may be provided in the pertinent Option Agreement.

 
b.In no event may an Option Agreement provide, if the Option is intended to be an ISO, that the time for exercise be later than three (3) months after the Participant's termination of employment.

 
c.The provisions of this section, and not the provisions of Section 12 or 13, shall apply to a Participant who subsequently becomes disabled or dies after the termination of employment, director status or consultancy, provided, however, in the case of a Participant's death within three (3) months after the termination of employment, director status or consulting, the Participant's Survivors may exercise the Option within one (1) year after the date of the Participant's death, but in no event after the date of expiration of the term of the Option.

 
d.Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if subsequent to a Participant's termination of employment, termination of director status or termination of consultancy, but prior to the exercise of an Option, the Board of Directors determines that, either prior or subsequent to the Participant's termination, the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute "cause", then such Participant shall forthwith cease to have any right to exercise any Option.

 
e.A Participant to whom an Option has been granted under the Plan who is absent from work with the Company or with an Affiliate because of temporary disability (any disability other than a permanent and total Disability as defined in Section 1 hereof), or who is on leave of absence for any purpose, shall not, during the period of any such absence, be deemed, by virtue of such absence alone, to have terminated such Participant's employment, director status or consultancy with the Company or with an Affiliate, except as the Administrator may otherwise expressly provide.
 
 
 
 

 
 
Trunity Holdings, Inc., 15 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950

 
 
f. Options granted under the Plan shall not be affected by any change of employment or other service within or among the Company and any Affiliates, so long as the Participant continues to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or any Affiliate, provided, however, if a Participant's employment by either the Company or an Affiliate should cease (other than to become an employee of an Affiliate or the Company), such termination shall affect the Participant's rights under any Option granted to such Participant in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the pertinent Option Agreement.

11. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE "FOR CAUSE" .
Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, the following rules apply if the Participant's service (whether as an employee, director or consultant) with the Company or an Affiliate is terminated "for cause" prior to the time that all of his or her outstanding Options have been exercised:

 
a.All outstanding and unexercised Options as of the date the Participant is notified his or her service is terminated "for cause" will immediately be forfeited, unless the Option Agreement provides otherwise.

 
b.For purposes of this Section 11 and Section 10, "cause" shall include (and is not limited to) dishonesty with respect to the employer, insubordination, substantial malfeasance or non-feasance of duty, unauthorized disclosure of confidential information, and conduct substantially prejudicial to the business of the Company or any Affiliate. The determination of the Administrator as to the existence of cause will be conclusive on the Participant and the Company.

 
c."Cause" is not limited to events which have occurred prior to a Participant's termination of service, nor is it necessary that the Administrator's finding of "cause" occur prior to termination. If the Administrator determines, subsequent to a Participant's termination of service but prior to the exercise of an Option, that either prior or subsequent to the Participant's termination the Participant engaged in conduct which would constitute "cause", then the right to exercise any Option is forfeited.

 
d.Any definition in an agreement between the Participant and the Company or an Affiliate, which contains a conflicting definition of "cause" for termination and which is in effect at the time of such termination, shall supersede the definition in this Plan with respect to such Participant.

12. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OF SERVICE FOR DISABILITY .
Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, a Participant who ceases to be an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate by reason of Disability may exercise any Option granted to such Participant:

a.  
To the extent that the right to purchase Shares has accrued on the date of his or her Disability; and
 
 
 
 

 
 
Trunity Holdings, Inc., 15 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950

 
 
b.  
In the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion of any additional rights as would have accrued had the Participant not become Disabled prior to the end of the accrual period which next ends following the date of Disability. The proration shall be based upon the number of days of such accrual period prior to the date of Disability.

A Disabled Participant may exercise such rights only within a period of not more than one (1) year after the date that the Participant became Disabled, notwithstanding that the Participant might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if he or she had not become Disabled and had continued to be an employee, director or consultant or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option.

The Administrator shall make the determination both of whether Disability has occurred and the date of its occurrence (unless a procedure for such determination is set forth in another agreement between the Company and such Participant, in which case such procedure shall be used for such determination). If requested, the Participant shall be examined by a physician selected or approved by the Administrator, the cost of which examination shall be paid for by the Company.

13. EFFECT OF DEATH WHILE AN EMPLOYEE, DIRECTOR OR CONSULTANT .

Except as otherwise provided in the pertinent Option Agreement, in the event of the death of a Participant to whom an Option has been granted while the Participant is an employee, director or consultant of the Company or of an Affiliate, such Option may be exercised by the Participant's Survivors:
a.  
To the extent exercisable but not exercised on the date of death; and

 
b.In the event rights to exercise the Option accrue periodically, to the extent of a pro rata portion of any additional rights which would have accrued had the Participant not died prior to the end of the accrual period which next ends following the date of death. The proration shall be based upon the number of days of such accrual period prior to the Participant's death.

If the Participant's Survivors wish to exercise the Option, they must take all necessary steps to exercise the Option within one (1) year after the date of death of such Participant, notwithstanding that the decedent might have been able to exercise the Option as to some or all of the Shares on a later date if he or she had not died and had continued to be an employee, director or consultant or, if earlier, within the originally prescribed term of the Option.

14. PURCHASE FOR INVESTMENT .
Unless the offering and sale of the Shares to be issued upon the particular exercise of an Option shall have been effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as now in force or hereafter amended (the "1933 Act"), the Company shall be under no obligation to issue the
Shares covered by such exercise unless and until the following conditions have been fulfilled, unless the exercise of the Option is made in connection with an Acquisition:

a.  
The person(s) who exercise such Option shall warrant to the Company, at the time of such exercise or receipt, as the case may be, that such person(s) are acquiring such Shares for their own respective accounts, for investment, and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, the distribution of any such Shares, in which event the person(s) acquiring such Shares shall be bound by the provisions of the following legend which shall be endorsed upon the certificate(s) evidencing their Shares issued pursuant to such exercise or such grant:
 
 
 
 

 
 
Trunity Holdings, Inc., 15 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950

 
"The shares represented by this certificate have been taken for investment and they may not be sold or otherwise transferred by any person, including a pledgee, unless (1) either (a) a Registration Statement with respect to such shares shall be effective under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or (b) the Company shall have received an opinion of counsel satisfactory to it that an exemption from registration under such Act is then available, and (2) there shall have been compliance with all applicable state securities laws.”

 
b. The Company shall have received an opinion of its counsel that the Shares may be issued upon such particular exercise in compliance with the 1933 Act without registration thereunder.

The Company may delay issuance of the Shares until completion of any action or obtaining of any consent which the Company deems necessary under any applicable law (including, without limitation, state securities or "blue sky" laws).

15. DISSOLUTION OR LIQUIDATION OF THE COMPANY .

Upon the dissolution or liquidation of the Company, all Options granted under this Plan which as of such date shall not have been exercised will terminate and become null and void; provided, however, that if the rights of a Participant or a Participant's Survivors have not otherwise terminated and expired, the Participant or the Participant's Survivors will have the right immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation to exercise any Option to the extent that the right to purchase Shares has accrued under the Plan as of the date immediately prior to such dissolution or liquidation.

16. ADJUSTMENTS .

Upon the occurrence of any of the following events, a Participant's rights with respect to any Option granted to him or her hereunder which have not previously been exercised in full shall be adjusted as hereinafter provided, unless otherwise specifically provided in the written agreement between the Participant and the Company relating to such Option:

A.  
Stock Dividends and Stock Splits . If the shares of Common Stock shall be subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares or if the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend on its outstanding Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock deliverable upon the exercise of such Option shall be appropriately increased or decreased proportionately, and appropriate adjustments shall be made in the purchase price per share to reflect such subdivision, combination or stock dividend.

B.  
Consolidations or Mergers . If the Company is consolidated with or acquired by another entity in a merger, or sale of all or substantially all of the Company's assets (an "Acquisition"), immediately preceding such Acquisition, all outstanding, but unvested, Options may, in the sole and absolute discretion of the Administrator, become fully vested and, if the Administrator so elects at least one (1) month prior to the closing of the Acquisition, the Administrator or the board of directors of any entity assuming the obligations of the Company hereunder (the "Successor Board"), shall, as to outstanding Options, either (i) make appropriate provision for the continuation of such Options by substituting on an equitable basis for the Shares then subject to such Options either the consideration payable with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock in connection with the Acquisition or securities of any successor or acquiring entity; or (ii) upon written notice to the Participants, provide that all Options must be exercised within a specified number of days of the date of such notice, at the end of which period the Options shall terminate; or (iii) terminate all Options in exchange for a cash payment equal to the excess of the Fair Market Value of the shares subject to such Options over the exercise price thereof.
 
 
 
 

 
 
Trunity Holdings, Inc., 15 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950


C.  
Recapitalization or Reorganization . In the event of a recapitalization or reorganization of the Company (other than a transaction described in Section 16.B above) pursuant to which securities of the Company or of another corporation are issued with respect to the outstanding shares of Common Stock, a Participant upon exercising an Option shall be entitled to receive for the purchase price paid upon such exercise the securities he or she would have received if he or she had exercised such Option prior to such recapitalization or reorganization.

 
D.  
Modification of ISOs . Notwithstanding the foregoing, any adjustments made pursuant to Sections A, B or C with respect to ISOs shall be made only after the Administrator, after consulting with counsel for the Company, determines whether such adjustments would constitute a "modification" of such ISOs (as that term is defined in Section 424(h) of the Code) or would cause any adverse tax consequences for the holders of such ISOs. If the Administrator determines that such adjustments made with respect to ISOs would constitute a modification of such ISOs, it may refrain from making such adjustments, unless the holder of an ISO specifically requests in writing that such adjustment be made and such writing indicates that the holder has full knowledge of the consequences of such "modification" on his or her income tax treatment with respect to the ISO.

17. ISSUANCES OF SECURITIES .

Except as expressly provided herein, no issuance by the Company of shares of stock of any class, or securities convertible into shares of stock of any class, shall affect, and no
adjustment by reason thereof shall be made with respect to, the number or price of shares subject to Options. Except as expressly provided herein, no adjustments shall be made for dividends paid in cash or in property (including without limitation, securities) of the Company.

18. FRACTIONAL SHARES .

No fractional share shall be issued under the Plan and the person exercising such right shall receive from the Company cash in lieu of such fractional share equal to the fair market value thereof determined in good faith by the Board of Directors of the Company.

19. CONVERSION OF ISOs INTO NON-QUALIFIED OPTIONS: TERMINATION OF ISOs .

The Administrator, at the written request of any Participant, may in its discretion take such actions as may be necessary to convert such Participant's ISOs (or any portions thereof) that have not been exercised on the date of conversion into Non-Qualified Options at any time prior to the expiration of such ISOs, regardless of whether the Participant is an employee of the Company or an Affiliate at the time of such conversion. Such actions may include, but not be limited to, extending the exercise period or reducing the exercise price of the appropriate installments of such Options. At the time of such conversion, the Administrator (with the consent of the Participant) may impose such conditions on the exercise of the resulting Non-Qualified Options as the Administrator in its discretion may determine, provided that such conditions shall not be inconsistent with this Plan. Nothing in the Plan shall be deemed to give any Participant the right to have such Participant's ISO's converted into Non-Qualified Options, and no such conversion shall occur until and unless the Administrator takes appropriate action.  The Administrator, with the consent of the Participant, may also terminate any portion of any ISO that has not been exercised at the time of such termination.

 
 

 
 
Trunity Holdings, Inc., 15 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950
 
20. WITHHOLDING .

Upon the exercise of a Non-Qualified Option for less than the then Fair Market Value or the making of a Disqualifying Disposition (as defined in Section 21), the Company may withhold from the Participant's wages, if any, or other remuneration, or may require the Participant to pay additional federal, state, and local income tax withholding and employee contributions to employment taxes in respect of the amount that is considered compensation includible in such person's gross income. The Administrator in its discretion may condition the exercise of an Option for less than the then Fair Market Value on the Participant's payment of such additional income tax withholding and employee contributions to employment taxes.

21. NOTICE TO COMPANY OF DISQUALIFYING DISPOSITION .

Each Key Employee who receives an ISO must agree to notify the Company in writing immediately after the Key Employee makes a Disqualifying Disposition of any shares acquired pursuant to the exercise of an ISO. A Disqualifying Disposition is any disposition (including any sale) of such shares before the later of (a) two years after the date the Key Employee was granted the ISO, or (b) one year after the date the Key Employee acquired Shares by exercising the ISO.  
If the Key Employee has died before such stock is sold, these holding period requirements do not apply and no Disqualifying Disposition can occur thereafter.

22. TERMINATION OF THE PLAN .

The Plan will terminate on October 1, 2022, the date which is ten (10) years from the earlier of the date of its adoption and the date of its approval by the stockholders of the Company. The Plan may be terminated at an earlier date by vote of the stockholders of the Company; provided, however, that any such earlier termination will not affect any Options granted or Option Agreements executed prior to the effective date of such termination.

23. AMENDMENT OF THE PLAN .

The Plan may be amended by the stockholders of the Company. The Plan may also be amended by the Administrator, including, without limitation, to the extent necessary to qualify any or all outstanding Options granted under the Plan or Options to be granted under the Plan for favorable federal income tax treatment (including deferral of taxation upon exercise) as may be afforded incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, to the extent necessary to ensure the qualification of the Plan under Rule 16b-3, and to the extent necessary to qualify the Shares issuable upon exercise of any outstanding Options granted, or Options to be granted, under the Plan for listing on any national securities exchange or quotation in any national automated quotation system of securities dealers. Any amendment approved by the Administrator which is of a scope that requires stockholder approval in order to ensure favorable federal income tax treatment for any incentive stock options or requires stockholder approval in order to ensure the compliance of the Plan with Rule 16b-3 shall be subject to obtaining such stockholder approval.  Any modification or amendment of the Plan shall not, without the consent of a Participant, affect his or her rights under an Option previously granted to him or her. With the consent of the Participant affected, the Administrator may amend outstanding Option Agreements in a manner not inconsistent with the Plan.  

 
 

 
 
Trunity Holdings, Inc., 15 Green Street, Newburyport, MA 01950

 
24. EMPLOYMENT OR OTHER RELATIONSHIP .

Nothing in this Plan or any Option Agreement shall be deemed to prevent the Company or an Affiliate from terminating the employment, consultancy or director status of a Participant, nor to prevent a Participant from terminating his or her own employment, consultancy or director status or to give any Participant a right to be retained in employment or other service by the Company or any Affiliate for any period of time.

25. GOVERNING LAW .

This Plan shall be construed and enforced in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware.

_________________________, of the _______________________,

in the ___________________________

(hereinafter called the “Indemnified Party”)


WHEREAS:

(a)
The Indemnified Party is agreeing to serve as, or to continue to serve as, a director or officer of the Corporation;

(b)
The Corporation wishes to indemnify the Indemnified Party (to the fullest extent permitted by law) from losses, costs or damages incurred or sustained by the Indemnified Party acting in the capacity of director or officer of the Corporation; and

(c)
The Indemnified Party is willing to serve or continue to serve the Corporation on the condition that he or she be indemnified to the fullest extent permitted by law.

NOW THEREFORE , in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency whereof is mutually acknowledged, the Indemnified Party and the Corporation (hereinafter called the “Parties”) covenant and agree as follows:

1.  
Indemnity
 
(a)  
Within 30 days after written demand is presented to the Corporation, the Corporation shall indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Party and his or her heirs and legal representatives against all costs, charges and expenses, including (a) an amount paid to settle an action or satisfy a judgment (including, without limitation, any penalties or fines levied), (b) any interest payable by the Indemnified Party thereon and (c) all damages, whether punitive, exemplary or otherwise, reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in respect of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding to which the Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of being or having been a director or trustee or fiduciary or officer of the Corporation or for action taken by or for on behalf of the Corporation (together with Expenses (as hereinafter defined), the “Indemnified Liabilities”) if:
 
 
 

 
 
(i)  
The Indemnified Party acted honestly and in good faith and in a manner the Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation; and
 
(ii)  
In the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnified Party had reasonable grounds for believing that his conduct was lawful.
 
(b)  
For the purposes of this Agreement, the termination of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding by judgment, order, settlement or conviction (whether with or without court approval) shall not, of itself, create a presumption either that the Indemnified Party did not act honestly and in good faith and in a manner the Indemnified Party reasonably believed to be in or not opposed to the best interests of the Corporation as required by the laws governing the Corporation or that, in the case of a criminal or administrative action or proceeding that is enforced by a monetary penalty, the Indemnified Party did not have reasonable grounds for believing that his or her conduct was lawful.
 
(c)  
In connection with any determination as to whether the Indemnified Party is entitled to be indemnified under any provision of this Agreement or to receive contribution pursuant to this Agreement, to the extent permitted by law the burden of proof shall be on the Corporation to establish that the Indemnified Party is not so entitled.
 
(d)  
The Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnified Party if he or she fulfills the conditions contained in (a) and (b) above in the defense of any civil, criminal or administrative action or proceeding which the Indemnified Party is made a party by reason of his or her being or having been a director or officer of the Corporation, against all costs, charges and expenses, including legal and other professional fees on a full indemnification basis and expert witness fees (“Expenses”), actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense of such action or proceeding within ten business days after written demand reasonably evidencing the Expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party is presented to the Corporation accompanied by an undertaking of the Indemnified Party to repay such amounts if it shall ultimately be determined that the Indemnified Party is not entitled to be indemnified against such Expenses, and the Corporation shall be required to make such payments in advance of the final disposition or conclusion of any claim against the Indemnified Party.
 
 
 

 
 
2.  
Partial Indemnity
 
If the Indemnified Party is entitled under any provisions of this Agreement to indemnification by the Corporation for some, but not all, of the Indemnified Party’s Indemnified Liabilities, the Corporation shall indemnify the Indemnified Party for the portion thereof to which the Indemnified Party is entitled.
 
3.  
Contribution
 
(a)  
Contribution payment .  To the extent the indemnification provided for under any provision of this Agreement is determined (in the manner hereinabove provided) not to be permitted under applicable law, the Corporation, in lieu of indemnifying the Indemnified Party, shall, to the extent permitted by law, contribute to the amount of any and all Indemnified Liabilities incurred or paid by the Indemnified Party for which such indemnification is not permitted.  The amount the Corporation contributes shall be in such proportion as appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnified Party, on the one hand, and of the Corporation and any and all other parties (including officers and directors of the Corporation other than the Indemnified Party) who may be at fault (collectively, including the Corporation, the “Third Parties”), on the other hand.
 
(b)  
Relative Fault .  The relative fault of the Third Parties and the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to the relative fault of the Indemnified Party as determined by the court or other governmental agency or to the extent such court or other governmental agency does not apportion relative fault, by another party acceptable to the Indemnified Party and the Corporation after giving effect to, among other things, the relative intent, knowledge, access to information, and opportunity to prevent or correct the relevant events, of each party, and other relevant equitable considerations.  The Corporation and the Indemnified Party agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this section 3(b).
 
4.  
Insurance
 
(a)  
Unless otherwise agreed between the Parties hereto and subject to the limitations contained in the Delaware General Corporation Law, , the Corporation shall purchase and maintain directly for so long as the Indemnified Party remains a director or officer of the Corporation, directors’ and officers’ liability insurance covering the Corporation for the benefit of the Indemnified Party with limits of not less than U.S. _______________ per occurrence. The Corporation shall not be liable under this Agreement to make any payment of amounts otherwise indemnifiable hereunder if and to the extent that the Indemnified Party has otherwise actually received such payment under any insurance policy, contract, agreement or otherwise.
 
 
 

 
 
(b)  
At least 60 days prior to the expiry of any such insurance, the Corporation will notify the Indemnified Party in writing whether of not it proposes to renew the insurance and whether or not it has any reason to believe the issuer of the insurance may not be prepared to renew the insurance.  The Corporation shall promptly notify in writing the Indemnified Party if at any time the insurance referred to above is not renewed, cancelled or adversely changed or if the Corporation receives any communication (whether oral or written) from the issuer of the insurance or any agent or other person acting on its behalf that the insurance will or may be cancelled or adversely changed.
 
5.  
Assignment
 
The Duties and obligations of the Corporation under this Agreement shall be binding upon, and enforceable by the Indemnified Party and the Indemnified Party’s heirs and legal representatives, against the Corporation and its successors and assigns.
 
6.  
Defense of Claims
 
(a)  
The Indemnified Party covenants and agrees, that upon becoming aware of any facts of circumstances which may give rise to any potential liability for which the Corporation may be required to indemnify the Indemnified Party pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement (a “Claim”), the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver written notice to the President of the Corporation setting out in reasonable detail the nature of the facts relating to such Claim including therein or therewith such documentation and information as is reasonably available to the Indemnified Party and is reasonably necessary to determine whether and to what extent the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder; providing that failure to so notify shall not affect the Corporation’s liability under this Agreement if and except only to the extent that such omission materially prejudices the Corporation.
 
(b)  
Upon written request by the Indemnified Party for indemnification pursuant hereto, a determination, if required by applicable law, with respect to the Indemnfied Party’s entitlement thereto shall be made in the specific case by one of the following four methods, which shall be at the election of the board of directors of the Corporation (the “Board”): (1) by a majority vote of the directors of the Corporation who are not and were not a party to the Claim in respect of which indemnification is sought by the Indemnified Party (the “Disinterested Directors”), even though less than a quorum, (2) by a committee of Disinterested Directors designated by a majority vote of the Disinterested Directors, even though less than a quorum, (3) if there are no Disinterested Directors or if the Disinterested Directors so direct, by independent counsel (selected by the Board) in a written opinion to the Board, a copy of which shall be delivered to the Indemnified Party, or (4) if so directed by the Board, by the stockholders of the Corporation holding a majority of the outstanding voting stock of the Corporation.
 
 
 

 
 
(c)  
If any Claim is made or brought against the Indemnified Party in connection with any of the matters against which the Indemnified Party would be indemnified pursuant to this Agreement, upon receipt of the notice of the Claim, the Corporation shall, at its expense and in a timely manner, contest and defend against any such Claim and take all such steps as may be necessary or proper to prevent the resolution thereof in a manner adverse to the Indemnified Party.
 
(d)  
The Indemnified Party shall fully co-operate with the Corporation in taking all such steps, and hereby consents to the taking of such steps by or on behalf of the Corporation and the Indemnified Party.  If the Corporation does not in a timely manner undertake the contestation or defense of the Claim, the Indemnified Party may do so and such contestation or defense shall be at the expense and risk of the Corporation.
 
(e)  
If the outcome of any litigation or proceeding establishes that the Indemnified Party was not entitled to have the Claim contested or defended at the risk and expense of the Corporation, the Indemnified Party shall be liable to repay the Corporation all amounts paid by the Corporation in connection with such contestation or defense pursuant to this Section 6.
 
7.  
Scope of Agreement
 
(a)  
This Agreement is absolute and unconditional and the obligations of the Indemnifying Party will not be affected, discharged, impaired, mitigated or released by:
 
(i)  
any extension of time, indulgence or modification which the Indemnified Party may extend or make with any person making any claim against the Indemnified Party; or
 
 
 

 
 
(ii)  
the discharge or release of the Indemnified Party in any bankruptcy, insolvency, receivership, or other proceedings of creditors.
 
(b)  
No action or proceeding brought or instituted under this Agreement and no recovery pursuant thereto will be a bar or defense to any further action of proceeding, which may be brought under this Agreement.
 
(c)  
The rights of the Indemnified Party hereunder will be in addition to any other rights the Indemnified Party may have under the Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation or the law or otherwise.  To the extent that a change in the law (whether by statute or judicial decision) permits greater indemnification by agreement than would be afforded currently under the Bylaws or Certificate of Incorporation of the Corporation and this Agreement, it is the intent of the parties hereto that the Indemnified Party shall enjoy by this Agreement the greater benefits so afforded by that change.  The Indemnified Party’s rights under this Agreement shall not be diminished by any amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws, or of any other agreement or instrument to which the Indemnified Party is not a party, and shall not diminish any other rights that the Indemnified Party now or in the future has against the Corporation.
 
8.  
Exception to Right of Indemnification
 
Notwithstanding any provision in this Agreement, the Corporation shall not be obligated under this Agreement to make any indemnity in connection with any claim made against the Indemnified Party:
 
(a)  
for which payment has actually been made to or on behalf of the Indemnified Party under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision, except with respect to any excess beyond the amount paid under any insurance policy or other indemnity provision;
 
(b)  
for an accounting of profits made from the purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) by the Indemnified Party of securities of the Corporation within the meaning of Section 16(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or similar provisions of state statutory law or common law; or
 
(c)  
in connection with any Claim (or any part of any Claim) initiated by the Indemnified Party, including any Claim (or any part of any Claim) initiated by the Indemnified Party against the Corporation or its directors, officers, employees or other indemnitees, unless (i) the Board authorized the Claim (or any part of any Claim) prior to its initiation or (ii) the Corporation provides the indemnification, in its sole discretion, pursuant to the powers vested in the Corporation under applicable law.
 
 
 

 
 
9.  
Severability
 
If any part of this Agreement or the application of such part to any person or circumstance shall, to any extent, be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such part to any other or person or circumstance, shall not be affected thereby and each provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.

Exhibit 14
 
TRUNITY HOLDINGS, INC.

Code of Ethics and Business Conduct

1.       Introduction .

1.1        The Board of Directors of Trunity Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (together with its subsidiaries, the “ Company ”) has adopted this Code of Ethics and Business Conduct (the “ Code ”) in order to:

(a)       promote honest and ethical conduct, including the ethical handling of actual or apparent conflicts of interest;

(b)       promote full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure in reports and documents that the Company files with, or submits to, the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “ SEC ”) and in other public communications made by the Company;

(c)       promote compliance with applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations;

(d)       promote the protection of Company assets, including corporate opportunities and confidential information;

(e)       promote fair dealing practices;

(f)       deter wrongdoing; and

(g)       ensure accountability for adherence to the Code.

1.2        All directors, officers and employees are required to be familiar with the Code, comply with its provisions and report any suspected violations as described below in Section 10, Reporting and Enforcement.

2.       Honest and Ethical Conduct .

2.1        The Company’s policy is to promote high standards of integrity by conducting its affairs honestly and ethically.

2.2        Each director, officer and employee must act with integrity and observe the highest ethical standards of business conduct in his or her dealings with the Company’s customers, suppliers, partners, service providers, competitors, employees and anyone else with whom he or she has contact in the course of performing his or her job.

3.       Conflicts of Interest .

3.1        A conflict of interest occurs when an individual’s private interest (or the interest of a member of his or her family) interferes, or even appears to interfere, with the interests of the Company as a whole. A conflict of interest can arise when an employee, officer or director (or a member of his or her family) takes actions or has interests that may make it difficult to perform his or her work for the Company objectively and effectively. Conflicts of interest also arise when an employee, officer or director (or a member of his or her family) receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company.

 
1

 
 
3.2        Loans by the Company to, or guarantees by the Company of obligations of, employees or their family members are of special concern and could constitute improper personal benefits to the recipients of such loans or guarantees, depending on the facts and circumstances. Loans by the Company to, or guarantees by the Company of obligations of, any director or executive officer or their family members are expressly prohibited.

3.3        Whether or not a conflict of interest exists or will exist can be unclear. Conflicts of interest should be avoided unless specifically authorized as described in Subsection 3.4.

3.4        Persons other than directors and executive officers who have questions about a potential conflict of interest or who become aware of an actual or potential conflict should discuss the matter with, and seek a determination and prior authorization or approval from, their supervisor. A supervisor may not authorize or approve conflict of interest matters or make determinations as to whether a problematic conflict of interest exists without first providing the Legal Department with a written description of the activity and seeking the Legal Department’s written approval. If the supervisor is himself involved in the potential or actual conflict, the matter should instead be discussed directly with the Legal Department.  For purposes of this Code of Ethics, “Legal Department” shall mean or refer to (i) the Company’s principal outside counsel in the event that the Company does not employ inhouse counsel and (ii) if inhouse legal counsel exists, the Company’s senior inhouse legal counsel.

Directors and executive officers must seek determinations and prior authorizations or approvals of potential conflicts of interest exclusively from the Audit Committee.

4.       Compliance .

4.1        Employees, officers and directors should comply, both in letter and spirit, with all applicable laws, rules and regulations in the cities, states and countries in which the Company operates.

4.2        Although not all employees, officers and directors are expected to know the details of all applicable laws, rules and regulations, it is important to know enough to determine when to seek advice from appropriate personnel. Questions about compliance should be addressed to the Legal Department.

4.3        No director, officer or employee may purchase or sell any Company securities while in possession of material non-public information regarding the Company, nor may any director, officer or employee purchase or sell another company’s securities while in possession of material non-public information regarding that company. It is against Company policies and illegal for any director, officer or employee to use material non-public information regarding the Company or any other company to:

 
2

 
 
(a)       obtain profit for himself or herself; or

(b)       directly or indirectly “tip” others who might make an investment decision on the basis of that information.

5.       Disclosure .

5.1        The Company’s periodic reports and other documents filed with the SEC, including all financial statements and other financial information, must comply with applicable federal securities laws and SEC rules.

5.2        Each director, officer and employee who contributes in any way to the preparation or verification of the Company’s financial statements and other financial information must ensure that the Company’s books, records and accounts are accurately maintained. Each director, officer and employee must cooperate fully with the Company’s Accounting and Internal Audit Departments, as well as the Company’s independent public accountants and counsel.

5.3        Each director, officer and employee who is involved in the Company’s disclosure process must:

(a)       be familiar with and comply with the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures and its internal control over financial reporting; and

(b)       take all necessary steps to ensure that all filings with the SEC and all other public communications about the financial and business condition of the Company provide full, fair, accurate, timely and understandable disclosure.

6.       Protection and Proper Use of Company Assets .

6.1        All directors, officers and employees should protect the Company’s assets and ensure their efficient use. Theft, carelessness and waste have a direct impact on the Company’s profitability and are prohibited.

6.2        All Company assets should be used only for legitimate business purposes, though incidental personal use /may be permitted. Any suspected incident of fraud or theft should be reported for investigation immediately.

6.3        The obligation to protect Company assets includes the Company’s proprietary information. Proprietary information includes intellectual property such as trade secrets, patents, trademarks, and copyrights, as well as business and marketing plans, engineering and manufacturing ideas, designs, databases, records and any non-public financial data or reports. Unauthorized use or distribution of this information is prohibited and could also be illegal and result in civil or criminal penalties.

 
3

 
 
7.       Corporate Opportunities . All directors, officers and employees owe a duty to the Company to advance its interests when the opportunity arises. Directors, officers and employees are prohibited from taking for themselves personally (or for the benefit of friends or family members) opportunities that are discovered through the use of Company assets, property, information or position.  Directors, officers and employees may not use Company assets, property, information or position for personal gain (including gain of friends or family members). In addition, no director, officer or employee may compete with the Company.

8.       Confidentiality . Directors, officers and employees should maintain the confidentiality of information entrusted to them by the Company or by its customers, suppliers or partners, except when disclosure is expressly authorized or legally required. Confidential information includes all non-public information (regardless of its source) that might be of use to the Company’s competitors or harmful to the Company or its customers, suppliers or partners if disclosed.

9.       Fair Dealing . Each director, officer and employee must deal fairly with the Company’s customers, suppliers, partners, service providers, competitors, employees and anyone else with whom he or she has contact in the course of performing his or her job. No director, officer or employee may take unfair advantage of anyone through manipulation, concealment, abuse or privileged information, misrepresentation of facts or any other unfair dealing practice.

10.       Reporting and Enforcement .

10.1        Reporting and Investigation of Violations.

(a)       Actions prohibited by this code involving directors or executive officers must be reported to the Audit Committee.

(b)       Actions prohibited by this code involving any other person must be reported to the reporting person’s supervisor or the Legal Department.

(c)       After receiving a report of an alleged prohibited action, the Audit Committee, the relevant supervisor or the Legal Department must promptly take all appropriate actions necessary to investigate.

(d)       All directors, officers and employees are expected to cooperate in any internal investigation of misconduct.

10.2        Enforcement.

(a)       The Company must ensure prompt and consistent action against violations of this Code.
 
(b)       If, after investigating a report of an alleged prohibited action by a director or executive officer, the Audit Committee determines that a violation of this Code has occurred, the Audit Committee will report such determination to the Board of Directors.

 
4

 
 
(c)       If, after investigating a report of an alleged prohibited action by any other person, the relevant supervisor or the Legal Department determines that a violation of this Code has occurred, the supervisor or the Legal Department will report such determination to the General Counsel.

(d)       Upon receipt of a determination that there has been a violation of this Code, the Board of Directors or the General Counsel will take such preventative or disciplinary action as it deems appropriate, including, but not limited to, reassignment, demotion, dismissal and, in the event of criminal conduct or other serious violations of the law, notification of appropriate governmental authorities.

10.3        Waivers.

(a)       Each of the Board of Directors (in the case of a violation by a director or executive officer) and the General Counsel (in the case of a violation by any other person) may, in its discretion, waive any violation of this Code.

(b)       Any waiver for a director or an executive officer shall be disclosed as required by SEC and [NASDAQ] rules.

10.4        Prohibition on Retaliation.

The Company does not tolerate acts of retaliation against any director, officer or employee who makes a good faith report of known or suspected acts of misconduct or other violations of this Code.
