Covenants of the Company.  The Company covenants with the Purchaser as follows:

(a)

 Capital Raising Transactions Constrained.  The Company shall be constrained from any transactions involving the raising of capital through the issuance of stock so long as the Purchaser may be obligated to purchase any Shares pursuant to this Agreement. So long as the Purchaser is so obligated, the Company may not raise additional capital by the issuance or sale of capital stock of the Company, including without limitation shares of any class of Common Stock, any class of preferred stock, options, warrants or any other securities convertible or exercisable into shares of Common Stock (whether the offering is conducted by the Company, an underwriter, placement agent or any third party) unless the Purchaser agrees in writing to any such transaction. For purposes of this Section 3.1(a), Purchaser shall be deemed to be obligated to Purchase Shares if at any time during the term of this Agreement the Company may require the Purchaser to purchase Shares regardless of whether or not all conditions in order to require Purchaser to purchase the Shares currently exist, so long as those conditions could be met in the future.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, equity grants to employees or in-house consultants of the Company shall not be considered a capital raising transaction for purposes of this Section.

DRAW DOWN TERMS


Section 5.1.

Draw Down Terms.  Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:


(a)

The Company, may, in its sole discretion, make draw downs against the Commitment Amount (each a “Draw Down”) during the Commitment Period, which Draw Downs the Purchaser shall be obligated to accept, subject to the terms and conditions herein.

(b)

Only one Draw Down shall be allowed in each Draw Down Pricing Period.  The number of shares of Common Stock purchased by the Purchaser with respect to each Draw Down shall be determined by determining the Draw Down Amount by the applicable Purchase Price and settled on the first Trading Day after the draw down period (the “Settlement Date”).

(c)

The Company must inform the Purchaser by delivering a draw down notice, in the form of Exhibit 5.1(c) hereto (the “Draw Down Notice”), via facsimile transmission or email in accordance with Section 8.4 as to the dollar amount of the Draw Down (the “Investment Amount”) the Company wishes to exercise.  The Draw Down Notice will not be effective until its receipt is confirmed in writing by the Purchaser via facsimile or email transmission in accordance with Section 8.4.  There must be a minimum of 15 Trading Days between each Draw Down Notice.  

(d)

In connection with each Draw Down Pricing Period, the Company may set the Threshold Price in the Draw Down Notice.

(e)

The minimum Investment Amount for any Draw Down shall be $25,000 and the maximum Investment Amount shall be $500,000.  Subject to the foregoing, in the event the maximum Investment Amount is greater than the Commitment Amount, as to such Draw Down only, the remaining amount of the Commitment Amount shall be the amount of such Draw Down.

(f)

The number of Shares of Common Stock to be issued on each Settlement Date shall be a determined by dividing the Investment Amount by the Purchase Price, provided however that the Draw Down will be:

(i)

cancelled at the option of the Company if the Purchase Price is less than the Threshold Price;

(ii)

cancelled at the option of the Purchaser if during any Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period trading of the Common Stock on the Principal Market is suspended for more than three (3) hours, in the aggregate;

(iii)

cancelled at the option of the Purchaser if during any Trading Day during a Draw Down Pricing Period sales of Draw Down Shares made under the Registration Statement are suspended in accordance with Sections





3(j) and 5(e) of the Registration Rights Agreement for more than three (3) hours, in the aggregate; and

(iv)

cancelled at the option of the Purchaser in accordance with Section 5.1(h) due to a delay in delivery of the shares.

Notwithstanding the above, the maximum number of Shares which the Purchaser will be obligated to purchase on any Settlement Date will be equal to the number determined by multiplying the average daily trading volume of the Common Stock for the 30 Trading Days immediately preceding the date of the delivery of the Draw Down Notice by 5.  In the event the maximum number of Shares purchased multiplied by the Purchase Price is less than the Investment Amount, the Investment Amount will be reduced to such lesser amount.  The Purchaser’s obligation to purchase any Shares will remain subject to the provisions of Section 5.1(e).  


At no time will the Purchaser be obligated to purchase, in connection with any Draw Down Notice, Shares of Common Stock which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Purchaser will result in Purchaser owning more than 4.9% of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock.


(g)

On each Settlement Date, the Shares purchased by the Purchaser shall be delivered to The Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) on the Purchaser’s behalf.  Upon the Company electronically delivering whole shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser or its designees via DTC through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system by 1:00 p.m. ET, the Purchaser shall wire transfer immediately available funds to the Company’s designated account on such day.  Upon the Company electronically delivering whole shares of Common Stock to the Purchaser or its designee’s DTC account via DWAC after 1:00 p.m. ET, the Purchaser shall wire transfer next day available funds to the Company’s designated account on such day.

(h)

The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Draw Down Shares into the Purchaser’s DTC account beyond five (5) Trading Days after the dates set forth herein, could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, as compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Purchaser for late delivery after three (3) Trading Days from such dates in accordance with the following schedule (where “No. Trading Days Late” is defined as the number of Trading Days beyond three (3) Trading Days from the dates which such Draw Down Shares are to be delivered into the Purchaser’s DTC account via the DWAC system):




No. Trading Days Late

Day Late beyond 10 Trading Days


The Purchaser may reduce the Investment Amount by the payments incurred under this Section 5.1(h).  

Notwithstanding the above, if the Draw Down Shares are delivered to the Purchaser more than five (5) Trading Days Late, then the Purchaser, at its option, may either reduce the Investment Amount by the payments incurred under this Section 5.1(b) or reduce the Investment Amount to the amount determined by multiplying the Draw Down Shares delivered to the Purchaser by 65% of the lowest closing bid price of the Company’s common stock (as reported by the market or quotation service on which the Company’s shares trade) during the nine (9) Trading Days preceding the date the Draw Down Shares were delivered to the Purchaser.

Notwithstanding the above, if the No. Trading Days Late exceeds five (5), then, at the option of the Purchaser, the Purchaser may cancel the Draw Down.

Nothing herein shall limit the Purchaser’s right to pursue injunctive relief and/or actual damages for the Company’s failure to issue and deliver the Draw Down Shares to the Purchaser.

(i)

The Purchaser acknowledges that any delay in the funding of the Investment Amount would be detrimental to the Company.  Accordingly, as compensation to the Company for any delay in funding the Investment Amount pursuant to Section 5.1(g) above, the Purchaser agrees that for each day that passes without such funding obligations being met, the Purchaser shall pay a late fee of $100.

Section 7.1.

(a)

The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser (and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns) from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Purchaser as a result of any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Company herein.  

(b)

The Purchaser agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company and its directors, officers, affiliates, agents, successors and assigns from and against any and all losses, liabilities, deficiencies, costs, damages and expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) incurred by the Company as result of any material inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by the Purchaser herein.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Purchaser shall be liable under this Section 7.1(b) for





only that amount as does not exceed the net proceeds to the Purchaser as a result of the sale of the Shares.

Section 7.2.

Indemnification Procedure.  Any party entitled to indemnification under this Article 7 (an "Indemnified Party") will give written notice to the indemnifying party of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided, that the failure of any party entitled to indemnification hereunder to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article 7 except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.  In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in and, unless in the reasonable judgment of counsel to the Indemnified Party a conflict of interest between it and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party.  In the event that the indemnifying party advises an Indemnified Party that it will contest such a claim for indemnification hereunder, or fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice to notify, in writing, such person of its election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the Indemnified Party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim.  In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claim, proceeding or action, the Indemnified Party's costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, charges and disbursements) and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder.  The Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any settlement negotiations or defense of any such action or claim by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the Indemnified Party, which relates to such action or claim.  The indemnifying party shall keep the Indemnified Party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto.  If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in such defense with one counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense.  The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent.  Notwithstanding anything in this Article 7 to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the Indemnified Party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim.  The indemnification required by this Article 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred, within ten (10) Trading Days of written notice thereof to the indemnifying party so long as the Indemnified Party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys, with interest, if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification.  The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (a) any cause of action or similar rights of the Indemnified Party against the indemnifying party or others, and (b) any liabilities to which the indemnifying party may be subject.
