Each Bridge Unit consists of: (i) an 8% Convertible Promissory Note of the Company with a term of twelve (12) months (each a “Note”, and collectively the “Notes”) in denominations of One Thousand Dollars ($1,000), which, simultaneously upon the closing of the Subsequent Offering (as defined below), shall automatically be converted into Units (as defined below) of the Company at the conversion price per Unit equal to Sixty Five Percent (65%) of the Subsequent Offering Price (as defined below) (as converted, the “Conversion Securities”); and (ii) Warrants of the Company (the “Bridge Warrants”) initially exercisable to purchase a certain number of shares of common stock, $0.0001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at an exercise price equal to the Bridge Warrant Exercise Price (as defined below), subject to adjustment (including an adjustment to One Hundred Fifty Percent (150%) of the Subsequent Offering Price upon the closing date of any Subsequent Offering), for a period of three (3) years from the closing date of the Subsequent Offering; and the total Purchase Price shall be allocated among the Buyer(s) in the respective amounts set forth on the Buyer Counterpart Signature Page(s), affixed hereto (the “Subscription Amount”);

 

WHEREAS, all of the total principal amount of the Notes, subject to the deduction of any and all applicable fees and expenses, shall be utilized by the Company as general working capital; and

 

WHEREAS, after the date hereof the Company intends to consummate a sale of its equity (or any convertible) securities first sold after the date hereof yielding aggregate gross proceeds to the Company of greater than $4,000,000 (the “Subsequent Offering”). “Subsequent Offering Price” means the price per share of common stock (or the conversion price of any security convertible into common stock) of the Company comprising or included in the units (the “Units”) the Company sells in the Subsequent Offering.

(j)          Buyer Liquidity. Each Buyer has adequate means of providing for such Buyer’s current financial needs and foreseeable contingencies and has no need for liquidity of its investment in the Notes for an indefinite period of time. The Buyer must bear and acknowledges the substantial economic risks of the investment in the Bridge Units.

 

 

(k)          High Risk Investment; Review of Risk Factors. The Buyer is aware that an investment in the Securities involves a number of very significant risks and has carefully reviewed and understands the risks of, and other considerations relating to, the purchase of the Securities and in particular, acknowledges that the Company has a history of losses and has not yet achieved profitability and that the Company may ultimately be unable to repay the Notes.

 

(l)          Reliance on Exemptions. Each Buyer understands that the Securities are being offered and sold to it in reliance on specific exemptions from the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying in part upon the truth and accuracy of, and such Buyer’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of such Buyer set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of such Buyer to acquire such securities.

 

(m)          Information. Each Buyer and its Advisors have been furnished with all documents and materials relating to the business, finances and operations of the Company and all such other information that Buyer and/or its Advisors have requested and deemed material to making an informed investment decision regarding its the Securities. Each Buyer and its Advisors have been afforded the opportunity to review such documents and materials, as well as the Company’s SEC Filings, as such term is defined below (hard copies of which were made available to the Buyer upon request to the Company or were otherwise accessible to the Buyer via the SEC’s EDGAR system), and the information contained therein. Each Buyer and its Advisors have been afforded the opportunity to ask questions of the Company and its management. Each Buyer understands that such discussions, as well as any written information provided by the Company, were intended to describe the aspects of the Company’s business and prospects which the Company believes to be material, but were not necessarily a thorough or exhaustive description, and except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, the Company makes no representation or warranty with respect to the completeness of such information and makes no representation or warranty of any kind with respect to any information provided by any entity other than the Company. Some of such information may include projections as to the future performance of the Company, which projections may not be realized, may be based on assumptions which may not be correct and may be subject to numerous factors beyond the Company’s control. Additionally, the Buyer understands and represents that he is purchasing the Securities notwithstanding the fact that the Company may disclose in the future certain material information the Buyer has not received, including its financial results for its current fiscal quarter and information regarding the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigations conducted by such Buyer or its Advisors shall modify, amend or affect such Buyer’s right to rely on the Company’s representations and warranties contained in Section 3 below. Each Buyer has sought such accounting, legal and tax advice as it has considered necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to its investment in Securities.

 

(n)          No Other Representations or Information. In evaluating the suitability of an investment in the Securities, the Buyer has not relied upon any representation or information (oral or written) other than as stated in this Agreement. No oral or written representations have been made, or oral or written information furnished, to the Buyer or its Advisors, if any, in connection with the offering of the Securities.

 

(o)          No Governmental Review. Each Buyer understands that no United States federal or state agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed on or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Securities or the fairness or suitability of the investment in Securities nor have such authorities passed upon or endorsed the merits of the offering of the Securities.

 

(p)          Transfer or Resale. (A) Each Buyer understands that: (i) the Securities have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws, and may not be offered for sale, sold, assigned or transferred unless (A) subsequently registered thereunder, or (B) such Buyer shall have delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel, in a generally acceptable form, to the effect that such securities to be sold, assigned or transferred may be sold, assigned or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration requirements; (ii) any sale of such securities made in reliance on Rule 144 under the Securities Act (or a successor rule thereto) (“Rule 144”) may be made only in accordance with the terms of Rule 144 and further, if Rule 144 is not applicable, any resale of such securities under circumstances in which the seller (or the person through whom the sale is made) may be deemed to be an underwriter (as that term is defined in the Securities Act) may require compliance with some other exemption under the Securities Act or the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder; and (iii) except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other person is under any obligation to register such securities under the Securities Act or any state securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder. The Company reserves the right to place stop transfer instructions against the Securities (if applicable). There can be no assurance that there will be any market or resale for the Securities, nor can there be any assurance that any of the Securities will be freely transferable at any time in the foreseeable future.

 

 

(B) Each Buyer understands that on September 27, 2011, the Company ceased to be a “shell company” as defined in Rule 12b-2 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).  Pursuant to Rule 144(i), securities issued by a current or former shell company (such as the Securities) that otherwise meet the holding period and other requirements of Rule 144 nevertheless cannot be sold in reliance on Rule 144 until one year after the Company (a) is no longer a shell company; and (b) has filed current “Form 10 information” (as defined in Rule 144(i)) with the SEC reflecting that it is no longer a shell company, and provided that at the time of a proposed sale pursuant to Rule 144, the Company is subject to the reporting requirements of section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act and has filed all reports and other materials required to be filed by section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act, as applicable, during the preceding 12 months (or for such shorter period that the issuer was required to file such reports and materials), other than Form 8-K reports.  As a result, the restrictive legends on certificates for the securities cannot be removed except in connection with an actual sale meeting the foregoing requirements or pursuant to an effective registration statement.

 

(q)          Legends. Each Buyer understands that the certificates or other instruments representing Securities shall bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop transfer order may be placed against transfer of such stock certificates):

(r)          ANTI MONEY LAUNDERING REQUIREMENTS

 

The USA PATRIOT Act		What is money laundering?		How big is the problem and why is it important?
The USA PATRIOT Act is designed to detect, deter, and punish terrorists in the United States and abroad.  The Act imposes new anti-money laundering requirements on brokerage firms and financial institutions.  Since April 24, 2002 all brokerage firms have been required to have new, comprehensive anti-money laundering programs.		Money laundering is the process of disguising illegally obtained money so that the funds appear to come from legitimate sources or activities.  Money laundering occurs in connection with a wide variety of crimes, including illegal arms sales, drug trafficking, robbery, fraud, racketeering, and terrorism.		The use of the U.S. financial system by criminals to facilitate terrorism or other crimes could well taint our financial markets.  According to the U.S. State Department, one recent estimate puts the amount of worldwide money laundering activity at $1 trillion a year.
To help you understand these efforts, we want to provide you with some information about money laundering and our steps to implement the USA PATRIOT Act.

 

What are we required to do to eliminate money laundering?
Under new rules required by the USA PATRIOT Act, our anti-money laundering program must designate a special compliance officer, set up employee training, conduct independent audits, and establish policies and procedures to detect and report suspicious transaction and ensure compliance with the new laws.	As part of our required program, we may ask you to provide various identification documents or other information. Until you provide the information or documents we need, we may not be able to effect any transactions for you.
