1

 
 
(a)           Organization, Good Standing and Qualification.  The Company is a corporation duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the State of Delaware. The Company has the requisite corporate power to own and operate its properties and assets and to carry on its business as now conducted.  The Company is duly qualified and is authorized to do business and in good standing as a foreign corporation in each jurisdiction where the failure to be so qualified could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
 
(b)           Power and Authority; Due Authorization.  The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority to execute and deliver the Transaction Documents and to carry out and perform its obligations thereunder.  All corporate action on the part of the Company, its directors and its stockholders necessary for the authorization of the Transaction Documents and the execution, delivery and performance of all obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents, including the issuance and delivery of the Notes and the reservation of the equity securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes (collectively, the “Conversion Securities”) has been taken or will be taken prior to the issuance of such Conversion Securities.  The Transaction Documents constitute the valid and binding obligation of the Company enforceable in accordance with their respective terms, subject to laws of general application relating to bankruptcy, insolvency, the relief of debtors and, with respect to rights to indemnity, subject to federal and state securities laws.  The Conversion Securities, when issued in compliance with the provisions of the Transaction Documents, will be validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free of any liens or encumbrances and issued in compliance with all applicable federal and securities laws.
 
(c)           Governmental Consents.  All consents, approvals, orders, or authorizations of, or registrations, qualifications, designations, declarations, or filings with, any governmental authority, required on the part of the Company in connection with the valid execution and delivery of the Transaction Documents, the offer, sale or issuance of the Notes and the Conversion Securities issuable upon conversion of the Notes or the consummation of any other transaction contemplated hereby or thereby shall have been obtained and will be effective at such time as required by such governmental authority.

(b)           Securities Law Compliance. Such Investor has been advised that the Notes and the underlying securities have not been registered under the Securities Act, or any state securities laws and, therefore, cannot be resold unless they are registered under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or unless an exemption from such registration requirements is available. Such Investor understands that no federal or state agency, including the Securities and Exchange Commission and the securities commissions or authorities of any states, has reviewed the Company’s offering of the Notes nor has any such agency passed upon the merits of the offering of the Notes.  Such Investor is aware that the Company is under no obligation to effect any such registration with respect to the Notes (except as set forth in Section 7 hereof) or the underlying securities. Such Investor has not been formed solely for the purpose of making this investment and is purchasing the Notes to be acquired by such Investor hereunder for its own account for investment, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to, or for resale in connection with, the distribution thereof, and Investor has no present intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same. Such Investor has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters that such Investor is capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such investment, is able to incur a complete loss of such investment without impairing such Investor’s financial condition and is able to bear the economic risk of such investment for an indefinite period of time. The residency of the Investor (or, in the case of a partnership, limited liability company or corporation, such entity’s principal place of business) is correctly set forth beneath such Investor’s name on Schedule I hereto.
 
(c)           Accredited Investor Status.  Such Investor is an accredited investor as such term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act for one of the reasons listed in 3(c)(i) through (iv) below.

(ii)           Such Investor is a natural person who had an individual income in excess of $200,000 in each of the two most recent years or joint income with that person’s spouse in excess of $300,000 in each of those years and who reasonably expects the same or greater income level in the current year.
 
(iii)           Such Investor is a corporation or limited liability company not formed for the specific purpose of acquiring the Notes, with total assets in excess of $5,000,000.
 
(iv)           Such Investor is an entity in which all of the equity owners are accredited investors.
 
(d)           Access to Information. Such Investor acknowledges that the Company has given such Investor access to the corporate records and accounts of the Company and to all information in its possession relating to the Company, has made its officers and representatives available for interview by such Investor, and has furnished such Investor with all documents and other information required for such Investor to make an informed decision with respect to the purchase of the Notes.
 
(e)           Foreign Investors.   If the Investor is not a United States person (as defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended), such Investor hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any invitation to subscribe for the Notes or any use of this Agreement, including (i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the Notes, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase, (iii) any governmental or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv) the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the purchase, holding, redemption, conversion, sale, or transfer of the Notes.

The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Demand Registration declared effective by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) within sixty (60) days of the filing of the Demand Registration with the SEC. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 8 to the contrary, the Investors shall be entitled to only one (1) such Demand Registration.  The costs, fees and expenses associated with such Demand Registration will be borne by the Company. Notwithstanding the foregoing obligations, if the Company furnishes to the Investors a certificate signed by the Company’s chief executive officer stating that in the good faith judgment of the Company’s Board of Directors it would be materially detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such registration statement to either become effective or remain effective for as long as such registration statement otherwise would be required to remain effective, because such action would (i) materially interfere with a significant acquisition, corporate reorganization, or other similar transaction involving the Company; (ii) require premature disclosure of material information that the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving as confidential; or (iii) render the Company unable to comply with requirements under the Securities Act or Exchange Act, then the Company shall have the right to defer taking action with respect to such filing for a period of not more than one hundred eighty (180) days after such Demand Request is given; provided that the Company shall not register any securities for its own account or that of any other stockholder during such one hundred eighty (180) day period.

xiii.    Neither this Note nor any of the rights, interests or obligations hereunder may be assigned, by operation of law or otherwise, in whole or in part, by the Company without the prior written consent of a Majority in Interest of Investors.
