Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined herein are defined in Section 10 hereof.

WHEREAS:

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company wishes to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer wishes to buy from the Company, up to Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.0001 (the “ Common Stock ”). The shares of Common Stock to be purchased hereunder are referred to herein as the “ Purchase Shares .”

NOW THEREFORE , the Company and the Buyer hereby agree as follows:

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company has the right to sell to the Buyer, and the Buyer has the obligation to purchase from the Company, Purchase Shares as follows:

(a)           Commencement of Purchases of Common Stock . After the Commencement Date (as defined below), the purchase and sale of Purchase Shares hereunder shall occur from time to time upon written notices by the Company to the Buyer on the terms and conditions as set forth herein following the satisfaction of the conditions (the “ Commencement” ) as set forth in Sections 6 and 7 below (the date of satisfaction of such conditions, the “ Commencement Date ”).

(b)           The Company’s Right to Require Regular Purchases . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on any given Business Day after the Commencement Date (as often as every other Business Day), the Company shall have the right but not the obligation to direct the Buyer by its delivery to the Buyer of a Purchase Notice from time to time, and the Buyer thereupon shall have the obligation, to buy the number of Purchase Shares specified in such notice, up to 200,000 Purchase Shares (with such amounts increasing as the Common Stock price increases as set forth below), on such Business Day (as long as such notice is delivered on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on such Business Day) (each such purchase, a “ Regular Purchase ”) at the Purchase Price on the Purchase Date; provided, however, that in no event shall the Purchase Amount of a Regular Purchase exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) per Business Day; and provided, further, that in the event the Company is delisted from its Principal Market, such obligation of the Buyer shall be reduced to an obligation to purchase up to 100,000 Purchase Shares on such Business Day. The number of Purchase Shares for each Regular Purchase may be increased to up to 750,000 Purchase Shares if the Consolidated Closing Bid Price of the Common Shares is not below $0.50 per share on the date of the applicable Purchase Notice and to up to 1,000,000 Purchase Shares if the Consolidated Closing Bid Price of the Common Shares is not below $1.00 per share on the date of the applicable Purchase Notice; provided, however, that in the event the Company is delisted from its Principal Market, such obligation of the Buyer shall be reduced to an obligation to purchase up to 375,000 Purchase Shares if the Consolidated Closing Bid Price of the Commons Shares is not below $0.50 per share on the date of the applicable Purchase Notice and up to 500,000 Purchase Shares if the Consolidated Closing Bid Price of the Common Shares is not below $1.00 per share on the date of the applicable Purchase Notice. The Company may deliver additional Purchase Notices to the Buyer from time to time so long as the most recent purchase has been completed. The share amounts set forth in this Section 1(b) shall be appropriately adjusted for any reorganization, recapitalization, non-cash dividend, stock split, reverse stock split, or other similar transaction.

(c)           VWAP Purchases . Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in addition to the Company’s right to require Regular Purchases as described in Section 1(b) above, with one Business Day’s prior written notice (as long as such notice is delivered on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on the Business Day immediately preceding the VWAP Purchase Date), the Company shall also have the right but not the obligation to direct the Buyer by the Company’s delivery to the Buyer of a VWAP Purchase Notice from time to time, and the Buyer thereupon shall have the obligation, to buy, at the VWAP Purchase Price, the number of shares of Common Stock indicated by the Company in the applicable VWAP Purchase Notice (such number to not exceed the lesser of (i) two (2) times the maximum number of shares allowed to be sold for a Regular Purchase with applicable Consolidated Closing Bid Prices or (ii) twenty percent (20%) of the trading volume of the Common Stock on the Principal Market during normal trading hours on the VWAP Purchase Date) (each such purchase, a “ VWAP Purchase ”). The Company may deliver a VWAP Purchase Notice to the Buyer on or before 5:00 p.m. Eastern time on a date on which the Company also submitted a Purchase Notice for a Regular Purchase. Each VWAP Purchase Notice must be accompanied by instructions to the Company’s Transfer Agent to immediately issue to the Buyer an amount of Common Stock equal to the VWAP Purchase Share Estimate, a good faith estimate by the Company of the number of Purchase Shares that the Buyer shall have the obligation to buy pursuant to the VWAP Purchase Notice. In no event shall the Buyer, pursuant to any VWAP Purchase, purchase a number of Purchase Shares that exceeds the VWAP Purchase Share Estimate issued on the VWAP Purchase Date in connection with such VWAP Purchase Notice. The Buyer will immediately return to the Company any amount of Common Stock issued pursuant to the VWAP Purchase Share Estimate that exceeds the number of Purchase Shares the Buyer actually purchases in connection with such VWAP Purchase. Following each VWAP Purchase Date, the Buyer shall submit to the Company a confirmation of the VWAP Purchase in form and substance reasonably acceptable to the Company. The Company may deliver additional VWAP Purchase Notices to the Buyer from time to time so long as the most recent purchase has been completed and so long as the Consolidated Closing Bid Price is not below $0.25 on the Purchase Date. The Company may, by written notice to the Buyer, in its sole discretion at any time after the date of this Agreement, suspend or terminate this Section 1(c) and its right to direct the Buyer to make VWAP Purchases.

(d)           Payment for Purchase Shares . For each Regular Purchase, the Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the Purchase Amount applicable to such Regular Purchase as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds on the same Business Day that the Buyer receives such Purchase Shares. For each VWAP Purchase, the Buyer shall pay to the Company an amount equal to the VWAP Purchase Amount as full payment for such Purchase Shares via wire transfer of immediately available funds on the third Business Day following the VWAP Purchase Date. All payments made under this Agreement shall be made in lawful money of the United States of America via wire transfer of immediately available funds to such account as the Company may from time to time designate by written notice in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. Whenever any amount expressed to be due by the terms of this Agreement is due on any day that is not a Business Day, the same shall instead be due on the next succeeding day that is a Business Day.

(e)           Purchase Price Floor . The Company and the Buyer shall not effect any sales under this Agreement on any Purchase Date where the Consolidated Closing Bid Price is less than the Floor Price. “ Floor Price ” means $0.25 per share of Common Stock.

(f)           Records of Purchases . The Buyer and the Company shall each maintain records showing the remaining Available Amount at any given time and the dates and purchase amounts for each purchase, or shall use such other method reasonably satisfactory to the Buyer and the Company to reconcile the remaining Available Amount.

(g)           Taxes . The Company shall pay any and all transfer, stamp or similar taxes that may be payable with respect to the issuance and delivery of any shares of Common Stock to the Buyer made under this Agreement.

(h)           Compliance with Principal Market Rules . Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, and in addition to the limitations set forth in Section 1(e), the total number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued under this Agreement, including the Commitment Shares (as defined in Section 4(e) hereof), shall be limited to such number of shares of Common Stock that equals 19.99% of the Company’s outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the date hereof (the “ Exchange Cap ”), unless stockholder approval is obtained to issue more than such 19.99%. The Exchange Cap shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividend, stock split, reverse stock split or similar transaction. The foregoing limitation shall not apply if such stockholder approval has not been obtained and at any time the Exchange Cap is reached and at all times thereafter the average price paid for all shares of Common Stock issued under this Agreement is equal to or greater than a price equal to the Consolidated Closing Bid Price on the date hereof (the “ Minimum Price ”) (in such circumstance, for purposes of the Principal Market, the transaction contemplated hereby would not be “below market” and the Exchange Cap would not apply). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required or permitted to issue, and the Buyer shall not be required to purchase, any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement if such issuance would violate the rules or regulations of the Principal Market.

(i)           Beneficial Ownership Limitation . The Company shall not issue and the Buyer shall not purchase any shares of Common Stock under this Agreement if such shares proposed to be issued and sold, when aggregated with all other shares of Common Stock then owned beneficially (as calculated pursuant to Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13d-3 promulgated thereunder) by the Buyer and its affiliates would result in the beneficial ownership by the Buyer and its affiliates of more than 9.99% of the then issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock.
