Creditor further agrees that the Shares are being issued in full consideration of the Amount Owed.

3. Mutual Representations, Covenants and Warranties.

(a) The Parties have all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to execute and deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Parties have duly and validly executed and delivered this Agreement and, assuming the due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Parties hereto and thereto, this Agreement constitutes, the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Parties enforceable against each Party in accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable principles.

(b) The execution and delivery by the Parties of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby do not and shall not, by the lapse of time, the giving of notice or otherwise: (a) constitute a violation of any law; or (b) constitute a breach or violation of any provision contained in the document(s) regarding organization and/or management of the Parties, if applicable; or (c) constitute a breach of any provision contained in, or a default under, any governmental approval, any writ, injunction, order, judgment or decree of any governmental authority or any contract to which either the Company or the Creditor is a party or by which either the Company or the Creditor is bound or affected.

(d) Any individual executing this Agreement on behalf of a Party has the authority to act on behalf of such Party and has been duly and properly authorized to sign this Agreement on behalf of such Party.

4. Representations of Creditor.

(a) Creditor is acquiring the Shares, for its own account, for investment purposes only and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, a distribution, as that term is used in Section 2(11) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act,” or the “Act”) in a manner which would require registration under the Securities Act or any state securities laws. Creditor can bear the economic risk of investment in the Shares, has knowledge and experience in financial business matters, is capable of bearing and managing the risk of investment in the Shares and is an “accredited investor” as defined in Regulation D under the Securities Act. Creditor recognizes that the Shares are not registered under the Securities Act, nor under the securities laws of any state and, therefore, cannot be resold unless the resale of the Shares is registered under the Securities Act or unless an exemption from registration is available. Creditor has carefully considered and has, to the extent it believes such discussion necessary, discussed with its professional, legal, tax and financial advisors, the suitability of an investment in the Shares for its particular tax and financial situation and its respective advisers, if such advisors were deemed necessary, have determined that the Shares are a suitable investment for it. Creditor has not been offered the Shares by any form of general solicitation or advertising, including, but not limited to, advertisements, articles, notices or other communications published in any newspaper, magazine, or other similar media or television or radio broadcast or any seminar or meeting where, to Creditor’s knowledge, those individuals that have attended have been invited by any such or similar means of general solicitation or advertising. Creditor has had an opportunity to ask questions of, and receive satisfactory answers from, the Company, or persons acting on behalf of the Company, concerning the terms and conditions of the Shares and the Company, and all such questions have been answered to the full satisfaction of Creditor. The Company has not supplied Creditor any information regarding the Shares or an investment in the Shares other than as contained in this Agreement, and Creditor is relying on its own investigation and evaluation of the Company and the Shares and not on any other information.

(b) Creditor understands and agrees that a legend has been or will be placed on any certificate(s) or other document(s) evidencing the Shares in substantially the following form:

‘‘THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED OR ANY STATE SECURITIES ACT. THE SECURITIES HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, PLEDGED OR HYPOTHECATED UNLESS (I) THEY SHALL HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED AND ANY APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES ACT, OR (II) THE CORPORATION SHALL HAVE BEEN FURNISHED WITH AN OPINION OF COUNSEL, SATISFACTORY TO COUNSEL FOR THE CORPORATION, THAT REGISTRATION IS NOT REQUIRED UNDER ANY SUCH ACTS.”

(c) Creditor hereby covenants that it will, whenever and as reasonably requested by the Company and at Creditor’s sole cost and expense, do, execute, acknowledge and deliver any and all such other and further acts, deeds, assignments, transfers, conveyances, confirmations, powers of attorney and any instruments of further assurance, approvals and consents as the Company may reasonably require in order to complete, insure and perfect the transactions contemplated herein.

Upon such execution, this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of each of the Parties and their respective heirs, successors, assigns, directors, officers, agents, employees, and personal representatives.

(f) Severability. Should any clause, sentence, paragraph, subsection, Section or Article of this Agreement be judicially declared to be invalid, unenforceable or void, such decision will not have the effect of invalidating or voiding the remainder of this Agreement, and the Parties agree that the part or parts of this Agreement so held to be invalid, unenforceable or void will be deemed to have been stricken herefrom by the Parties, and the remainder will have the same force and effectiveness as if such stricken part or parts had never been included herein.

(g) Arm’s Length Negotiations.
