2.         Senior Convertible Note Subscription Agreement  The Company will assist and  prepare a Senior Convertible Note Subscription Agreement and offering document covering the proposed offering (the “Notes”) which shall meet the anti-fraud and other requirements of the federal and state securities laws.  The Notes shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to ViewTrade.  The Company agrees that it shall modify or supplement the Notes during the course of the Offering to insure that the Notes do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances in which they were made.  ViewTrade agrees that it will not make any use of the Notes other than for purposes of implementing this agreement, nor will it or any of its agents, employees or participating soliciting brokers or dealers use the same or do any other act or thing in the course of the offering or sale hereunder which would constitute a violation of the Act, the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "1934 Act") or any state "blue sky" laws or regulations applicable to this Offering.

3.         Compensation; Non-Accountable Expense Allowance  ViewTrade will be paid at each closing of the Offering a commission of ten percent (10%) of the aggregate subscription price of the Notes to be closed.   ViewTrade will receive a non-accountable expense allowance of three percent (3%) of all subscriptions.  ViewTrade shall also receive common stock purchase warrants (the “Placement Agent Warrants”) in an amount equal to fifteen percent (15%) of all Securities sold pursuant to the Offering.  The Placement Agent Warrants shall have a cashless exercise provision and standard weighted average anti-dilution protection subject to certain carve-outs described in the Warrant Agreement including anti-dilution protection for issuances that are below the then warrant exercise price.  The Company shall set aside and at all times have available a sufficient number of shares of its Common Stock to be issued upon the exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants. With respect to the shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of the Placement Agent Warrants, ViewTrade shall have the same registration rights that the Purchasers have under the Registration Rights Agreement between the Company and the Purchasers in connection with the Offering, as if such shares were “Registrable Securities” covered by such Registration Rights Agreement.
