Representations and Warranties of Purchaser. Purchaser represents and warrants to the Company, as of the date hereof, as follows:

(a)

Requisite Power and Authority. All action on the part of Purchaser necessary for the authorization of this Agreement and the performance of all obligations of Purchaser hereunder has been taken. This Agreement constitutes the valid and binding obligation of Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as limited by (i) applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting enforcement of creditors’ rights, and (ii) general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable remedies.

(b)

Investment Representations. Purchaser understands that the Shares issued to Purchaser hereunder and the Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Purchaser also understands that the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part upon Purchaser’s representations contained in this Agreement.

(c)

Experience; Risk. Purchaser has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that Purchaser is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of the purchase of the Shares and the Conversion Shares and of protecting Purchaser’s interests in connection therewith. Purchaser is able to fend for himself in the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and has the ability to bear the economic risk of the investment, including complete loss of the investment.

 

 

(d)

Investment. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and the Conversion Shares for investment for his own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, any distribution thereof, and Purchaser has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Purchaser understands that the Shares and the Conversion Shares have not been registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws (collectively, the “Acts”) by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Acts which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of Purchaser’s representations as expressed herein.

(e)

Information. Purchaser has been furnished with all information which he deems necessary to evaluate the merits and risks of purchasing the Shares and has had the opportunity to ask questions concerning the Shares and the Company and all questions posed have been answered to his satisfaction. Purchaser has been given the opportunity to obtain any additional information he deems necessary to verify the accuracy of any information obtained concerning the Shares and the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect Purchaser’s right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Company’s representations and warranties contained in this Agreement. Purchaser understands that an investment in the Shares involves significant risks.

(f)

Restricted Securities. Purchaser understands that the Shares and the Conversion Shares will be “restricted securities” under applicable securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from the Company in a transaction not involving a public offering and that under such laws and applicable regulations the Shares and the Conversion Shares may be resold without registration under the Acts only in certain limited circumstances. Purchaser acknowledges that the Shares and the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless subsequently registered under the Acts or an exemption from such registration is available.

(g)

Accredited Investor. Purchaser is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities Act. Purchaser has considered the federal and state income tax implications of an investment in the Shares and has consulted with his own advisors with respect thereto.

Residence. The place where Purchaser’s investment decision was made is located at the address of Purchaser set forth on the signature page hereto.

(i)

Legends. Purchaser understands and agrees that the certificates representing the Shares will bear a legend as set forth on Exhibit A. In addition, any certificate or other instrument representing the Shares and the Conversion Shares will bear any other legend that may be required by applicable law, by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws, or by any agreement between the Company and Purchaser.

 

 

4.

Covenants.

(a)

Amendment of Articles; Reservation of Shares. Purchaser and the Company acknowledge and agree that the Company does not have a sufficient number of authorized and unissued shares of Common Stock to reserve for issuance upon conversion of the Shares. The Company agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to cause an amendment to its Articles of Incorporation to be filed and effective at the earliest practicable date, but in no event later than June 30, 2016, increasing its authorized shares of Common Stock to be at least 600,000,000 shares (the “Amendment”). Purchaser shall vote the Shares, and any and all other shares of Common Stock and Preferred Stock beneficially owned by Purchaser in favor of the Amendment. Promptly following the filing and effectiveness of the Amendment, the Company shall take any and all action as is necessary or desirable to duly and validly reserve the Conversion Shares for issuance upon conversion of the Shares.

The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible, and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Registration Statement continuously effective until such time that all Conversion Shares may be resold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, without volume limitations.

5.

Miscellaneous.

(a)

Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement shall be governed, construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law and choice of law that would cause the laws of any other jurisdiction to apply.

At the option of the holder thereof, each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at any time or from time to time after such time as an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company is filed and effective increasing the Company’s authorized shares of Common Stock to at least 600,000,000 shares (the “Filing Date”) and prior to the close of business on the business day before any date fixed for conversion of such share, into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock, as provided herein.

(2)

Each holder of Series C Preferred Stock who elects to convert the same into shares of Common Stock shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Stock or Common Stock, and shall give written notice to the Company at such office that such holder elects to convert the same and shall state therein the number of shares of Series C Preferred Stock being converted.

(2)

Upon the occurrence of any event specified in Section 5(b)(1) above, the outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock shall be converted into Common Stock automatically without the need for any further action by the holders of such shares and whether or not the certificates representing such shares are surrendered to the Company or its transfer agent; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to issue certificates evidencing the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion unless the certificates evidencing such shares of Series C Preferred Stock are either delivered to the Company or its transfer agent as provided below, or the holder notifies the Company or its transfer agent that such certificates have been lost, stolen or destroyed and executes an agreement reasonably satisfactory to the Company to indemnify the Company from any loss incurred by it in connection with such certificates. Upon the occurrence of such automatic conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock, the holders of Series C Preferred Stock shall surrender the certificates representing such shares at the office of the Company or any transfer agent for the Series C Preferred Stock or Common Stock. Thereupon, there shall be issued and delivered to such holder promptly at such office and in its name as shown on such surrendered certificate or certificates, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock into which the shares of Series C Preferred Stock surrendered were convertible on the date on which such automatic conversion occurred.

(c)

Conversion Price. Each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be convertible in accordance with Section 5(a) or Section 5(b) above into the number of shares of Common Stock which results from dividing the Original Issue Price by the conversion price for Series C Preferred Stock that is in effect at the time of conversion (the “Conversion Price”).

The Conversion Price of each series of Series C Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment from time to time as provided below.

(d)

Adjustment Upon Common Stock Event. Upon the happening of a Common Stock Event (as hereinafter defined), the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock shall, simultaneously with the happening of such Common Stock Event, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price of the Series C Preferred Stock in effect immediately prior to such Common Stock Event by a fraction, (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to such Common Stock Event, and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately after such Common Stock Event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Conversion Price for the Series C Preferred Stock. The Conversion Price for the Series C Preferred Stock shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of each subsequent Common Stock Event. As used herein, the term “Common Stock Event” shall mean (i) the issue by the Company of additional shares of Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock, (ii) a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock, or (iii) a combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of Common Stock.

(e)

Adjustments for Other Dividends and Distributions. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date the Company pays a dividend or makes another distribution to the holders of the Common Stock payable in securities of the Company other than shares of Common Stock, then in each such event provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock shall receive upon conversion thereof, in addition to the number of shares of Common Stock receivable upon conversion thereof, the amount of securities of the Company which they would have received had their Series C Preferred Stock been converted into Common Stock on the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) and had they thereafter, during the period from the date of such event (or such record date, as applicable) to and including the conversion date, retained such securities receivable by them as aforesaid during such period, subject to all other adjustments called for during such period under this Section 5 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series C Preferred Stock or with respect to such other securities by their terms.

 

 

(f)

Adjustment for Reclassification, Exchange and Substitution. If at any time or from time to time after the Original Issue Date, the Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Stock is changed into the same or a different number of shares of any class or classes of stock, whether by recapitalization, reclassification or otherwise (other than by a Common Stock Event or a stock dividend, reorganization, merger, consolidation or sale of assets provided for elsewhere in this Section 5), then in any such event each holder of Series C Preferred Stock shall have the right thereafter to convert such stock into the kind and amount of stock and other securities and property receivable upon such recapitalization, reclassification or other change by holders of the number of shares of Common Stock into which such shares of Series C Preferred Stock could have been converted immediately prior to such recapitalization, reclassification or change, all subject to further adjustment as provided herein or with respect to such other securities or property by the terms thereof.

(g)

Certificate of Adjustment. In each case of an adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Price for the Series B Preferred Stock, the Company, at its expense, shall cause its Chief Financial Officer to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the provisions hereof and prepare a certificate showing such adjustment or readjustment, and shall mail such certificate, by first class mail, postage prepaid, to each registered holder of the Series C Preferred Stock at the holder’s address as shown in the Company’s books.

(h)

Fractional Shares. No fractional shares of Common Stock shall be issued upon any conversion of Series C Preferred Stock. In lieu of any fractional share to which the holder would otherwise be entitled, the Company shall pay the holder cash equal to the product of such fraction multiplied by the Common Stock’s fair market value as determined in good faith by the Board as of the date of conversion.

(i)

Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock; and if at any time the number of authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock shall not be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series C Preferred Stock, the Company will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purpose.

(j)

Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 5 to be given to the holders of shares of the Series C Preferred Stock shall be deemed given upon the earlier of actual receipt or deposit in the United States mail, by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, postage prepaid, addressed to each holder of record at the address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company.

(k)

No Impairment. The Company shall not avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by the Company, but shall at all times in good faith assist in carrying out all such action as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate in order to protect the conversion rights of the holders of the Series B Preferred Stock against impairment.

 

 

6.    Amendments.   No provision of this Certificate of Designation may be amended, modified or waived without the written consent or affirmative vote of the holders of at least ninety-five percent (95%) of the then outstanding shares of Series C Preferred Stock, voting as a separate class.

SECOND: That such determination of the designation, preferences and the relative, participating, optional or other rights, and the qualifications, limitations or restrictions thereof, relating to the Series C Preferred Stock, was duly made by the Board of Directors pursuant to the provisions of the Articles of Incorporation of the Corporation, and in accordance with the provisions of Section 78.1955 of the Nevada Revised Statutes, as amended.
