Disclosure.  Except with respect to the material terms and conditions of the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents, the Company confirms that neither it nor any other Person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Investors or their agents or counsel with any information that it believes constitutes or might constitute material, non-public information.  The Company understands and confirms that the Investors will rely on the foregoing representation in effecting transactions in securities of the Company.  All of the disclosure furnished by or on behalf of the Company to the Investors regarding the Company and its Subsidiaries, their respective businesses and the transactions contemplated hereby, including the Schedule of Exceptions to this Agreement, is true and correct and does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact necessary in order to make the statements made therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading.  The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Investor makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3 hereof.

No Integrated Offering. Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3, neither the Company, nor any of its Affiliates, nor any Person acting on its or their behalf has, directly or indirectly, made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security, under circumstances that would cause this offering of the Securities to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of (i) the Securities Act which would require the registration of any such securities under the Securities Act, or (ii) any applicable shareholder approval provisions of any Trading Market on which any of the securities of the Company are listed or designated.

2.27

Solvency.  Based on the consolidated financial condition of the Company as of the First Closing Date, after giving effect to the receipt by the Company of the proceeds from the sale of the Minimum Offering Amount: (i) the fair saleable value of the Company’s assets exceeds the amount that will be required to be paid on or in respect of the Company’s existing debts and other liabilities (including known contingent liabilities) as they mature, (ii) the Company’s assets do not constitute unreasonably small capital to carry on its business as now conducted and as proposed to be conducted, including its capital needs taking into account the particular capital requirements of the business conducted by the Company, and (iii) the current cash flow of the Company, together with the proceeds the Company would receive, were it to liquidate all of its assets, after taking into account all anticipated uses of the cash, would be sufficient to pay all amounts on or in respect of its liabilities when such



10



amounts are required to be paid.  The Company does not intend to incur debts beyond its ability to pay such debts as they mature (taking into account the timing and amounts of cash to be payable on or in respect of its debt).  The Company has no knowledge of any facts or circumstances which lead it to believe that it will file for reorganization or liquidation under the bankruptcy or reorganization laws of any jurisdiction within one year from the Closing Date.  Schedule 2.27 sets forth as of the date hereof all outstanding secured and unsecured Indebtedness of the Company or any Subsidiary, or for which the Company or any Subsidiary has commitments.  For the purposes of this Agreement, “Indebtedness” means (x) any liabilities for borrowed money or amounts owed in excess of $50,000 (other than trade accounts payable incurred in the ordinary course of business), (y) all guaranties, endorsements and other contingent obligations in respect of indebtedness of others, whether or not the same are or should be reflected in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet (or the notes thereto), except guaranties by endorsement of negotiable instruments for deposit or collection or similar transactions in the ordinary course of business; and (z) the present value of any lease payments in excess of $50,000 due under leases required to be capitalized in accordance with GAAP.  Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary is in default with respect to any Indebtedness.

2.29

No General Solicitation.  Neither the Company nor any person acting on behalf of the Company has offered or sold any of the Securities by any form of general solicitation or general advertising.  The Company has offered the Securities for sale only to the Investors and certain other “accredited investors” within the meaning of Rule 501 under the Securities Act.

For the purposes of this Section 6, the “price per share for which one share of Common Stock is issuable upon the conversion, exercise or exchange of any Common Stock Equivalents” shall be equal to the sum of the lowest amounts of consideration (if any) received or receivable by the Company with respect to one share of Common Stock upon the issuance or sale of such Common Stock Equivalents and upon conversion, exercise or exchange of such Common Stock Equivalents. The Company may not refuse to issue to a Investor Additional Shares hereunder based on any claim that such Investor or anyone associated or affiliated with such Investor has been engaged in any violation of law, agreement or for any other reason, unless, an injunction from a court, on notice, restraining and or enjoining an issuance hereunder shall have been sought and obtained. Nothing herein shall limit an Investor’s right to pursue actual damages for the Company’s failure to deliver Additional Shares hereunder, and such Investor shall have the right to pursue all remedies available to it at law or in equity including, without limitation, a decree of specific performance and/or injunctive relief.  On the date of closing of any transaction pursuant to which securities are issued for a Discounted Per Share Purchase Price, the Company shall give each of the Investors written notice thereof.

Notify the Investor as promptly as reasonably possible of any of the following events: (I) if the Commission issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or initiates any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding for that purpose; (II) the Company receives notice of any suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threat of any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding for such purpose; or (III) the financial statements included in the Registration Statement become ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference is untrue in any material respect or any revision to the Registration Statement, Prospectus or other document is required so that it will 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, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.  If the Company notifies the Investor in accordance with this paragraph, then the Investor shall suspend the use of the Prospectus until the Company (i) provides copies of a supplemented or amended Prospectus, or (ii) advises in writing that the use of the Prospectus may be resumed and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated by reference in the Prospectus. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be required to amend or supplement the Registration Statement, any related Prospectus or any document incorporated by reference therein for a period not to exceed 60 consecutive days (or 120 days in the aggregate in any calendar year) if there occurs or exists any pending corporate development the disclosure of which would, in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, be harmful to the business, operations, prospects, or condition (financial or otherwise) of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole;

(ii)

Deliver to the Investor, which delivery may be made electronically, by the fifth business day after a Investor request, without charge, such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus or Prospectuses (including each form of prospectus) and each amendment or supplement thereto as the Investor may reasonably request;

(iii)

To the extent required by law, prior to registration hereunder, use its reasonable efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investor in connection with the registration or qualification (or exemption from such registration or qualification) of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Investor requests in writing and to do any and all other acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required for any such purpose to (I) qualify generally to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction wherein it would not be otherwise required to qualify but for the requirements of this Section 8.1(c), or (II) subject itself to taxation; and

(iv)

Comply in all material respects with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission and the principal stock exchange or market on which the Common Stock is then listed or eligible for trading.

(d)

The Placement Agent, on behalf of the Investors, shall have the right to select one legal counsel to review and oversee any Registration (“Legal Counsel”) at the Company’s expense subject to the fee and expense limitations set forth Section 8.1(F) below.  The Company and Legal Counsel shall reasonably cooperate with each other in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement.



20



(e)

The Company shall pay all reasonable fees and expenses incident to a Registration by the Company, including (A) all registration and filing fees and expenses (including those related to filings with the Commission, in connection with applicable state securities or “blue sky” laws and to the securities exchange in which the Company’s common stock then trades or is quoted), (B) printing expenses (including expenses of printing certificates for Registrable Securities and of printing copies of Prospectuses reasonably requested by the Investor), (C) messenger, telephone and delivery expenses, (D) fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, (E) fees and expenses of all other Persons retained by the Company in connection with the Registration and (F) fees and expenses of Legal Counsel not to exceed $10,000 in the aggregate (including any fees payable by the Company under Section 7.1(d) of the Securities Purchase Agreement dated August 29, 2011).  Notwithstanding the foregoing or anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each holder of the Registrable Securities being registered shall pay all commissions and underwriting discounts with respect to any Registrable Securities sold by it and the fees and disbursements of any counsel or other advisors or experts retained by such holders (severally or jointly) other than Legal Counsel.  

(f)

In connection with the preparation of a registration statement including the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 8, Investor agrees to furnish to the Company a completed questionnaire in a form acceptable to the Company upon request.  Investor agrees further to supplement the questionnaire as necessary to enable the Company to respond to comments, if any, received by the Commission.  The Company shall not be required to include any Investor that does not complete, date and execute a selling stockholder questionnaire.

8.2

Indemnification.  

(a)

Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Investor and all of its members, officers and employees (and each person, if any, who controls the Investor within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act) (collectively, the “Indemnitees”), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (collectively, “Losses”) to which they may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise) insofar as such Losses (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading or arise out of any failure by the Company to fulfill any undertaking included in the Registration Statement and the Company will, as incurred, reimburse the Indemnitees for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any such case to the extent that such Loss arises out of, or is based upon, an untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in such Registration Statement in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Indemnitees specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement; provided, further, however, that the foregoing indemnification shall not inure to the benefit of any Indemnitee who failed to deliver a final Prospectus or an amendment or supplement thereto (provided by the Company to such Indemnitee in the requisite quantity and on a timely basis to permit proper delivery on or prior to the relevant transaction date) to the person asserting any losses, claims, damages and liabilities and judgments caused by any untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Prospectus, or caused by any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, if such material misstatement or omission was cured in such final Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto.



21



(b)

Indemnification by the Investor. The Investor agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company (and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the 1934 Act, each officer of the Company who signs the Registration Statement and each director of the Company), from and against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which the Company (or any such officer, director or controlling person) may become subject (under the Securities Act or otherwise), insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions or proceedings in respect thereof) arise out of, or are based upon, any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement or any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in each case, on the effective date thereof, if, and to the extent, such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Investor specifically for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, and such Investor will reimburse the Company (and each of its officers, directors or controlling persons) for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in investigating, defending or preparing to defend any such action, proceeding or claim; provided, however, that in no event shall any indemnity under this Section 8.2(b) be greater in amount than the net proceeds to the Investor as a result of the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

(c)

Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. If any action, claim, suit, investigation or proceeding (a “Proceeding”) shall be brought or asserted against any person entitled to indemnity hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”), such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the person from whom indemnity is sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing, and the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate therein, and to the extent that it shall wish to assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party and the payment of all fees and expenses incurred in connection with defense thereof. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, such Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof. An Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such Proceeding and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party or Parties. If there exists or shall exist a conflict of interest that would make it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and such Indemnifying Party or any affiliate or associate thereof, the Indemnified Party shall be entitled to retain its own counsel at the expense of such Indemnifying Party; provided, further, that no Indemnifying Party shall be responsible for the fees and expense of more than one separate counsel for all Indemnified Parties. The Indemnifying Party shall not settle an action without the consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability on claims that are the subject matter of such Proceeding. All reasonable fees and expenses of the Indemnified Party (including reasonable fees and expenses to the extent incurred in connection with investigating or preparing to defend such Proceeding in a manner not inconsistent with this Section) shall be paid to the Indemnified Party, as incurred, within ten trading days of written notice thereof to the Indemnifying Party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the Indemnifying Party may require such Indemnified Party to undertake to reimburse all such reasonable fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such Indemnified Party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).



22



8.3

Contribution. If a claim for indemnification under Section 8.2 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party (by reason of public policy or otherwise), then each Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Losses, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact, has been taken or made by, or related to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action, statement or omission. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Losses shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 8.2, any reasonable attorneys’ or other reasonable fees or expenses incurred by such party in connection with any Proceeding to the extent such party would have been indemnified for such fees or expenses if the indemnification provided for in Section 8.2 was available to such party in accordance with its terms.

The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 8.3, the Investor shall not be required to contribute, in the aggregate, any amount which exceeds the net proceeds actually received by the Investor from the sale of the Registrable Securities subject to the Proceeding. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

Sarbanes-Oxley; Internal Accounting Controls

As reported on the Company's most recent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q:

Our management carried out an evaluation with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and who serves as our principal executive officer and principal financial and accounting officer, required by Rule 13a-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act") of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act.

Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer concluded that as of June 30, 2011, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective such that the information relating to our company required to be disclosed in our SEC reports (i) is recorded processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms a (ii) is accumulated and communicated to our management to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. Our management concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as described in more detail below. A material weakness is a deficiency or combination of deficiencies in internal control over financial reporting such that a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of the financial statements will not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The specific weaknesses identified by our management were insufficient segregation of duties in our finance and accounting functions and lack of sufficient review by corporate management. The weaknesses are principally due to our recent transition from a private company to public company and lack of resources and working capital. During the period covered by this report we had limited staff. These deficiencies resulted in the following:

·

On and after May 28, 2010, we did not have the appropriate policies and procedures in place to ensure that the reverse merger transaction with H&H Imports, Inc. was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization rather that a reverse acquisition transaction.

·

We did not properly recognize our base rent expense on our Clearwater, Florida facility using the straight-line method.

·

We did not provide certain required, expended disclosures in our financial footnotes relating to our share based payments and warrant issuances during the periods reported.

·

Certain adjustments were made to our financial statements as a result of improper accounting treatment of complex debt and equity transactions.

·

Insufficient resources which restricts the Company's ability to complete financial statements in a timely manner.

·

Lack of an audit committee which results in ineffective oversight over the Company's financial reporting and accounting.

To mitigate the current limited resources and limited employees, we rely heavily on direct management oversight of transactions, along with the use of legal and accounting consultants. As we grow, we expect to increase our number of employees, which will enable us to implement adequate segregation of duties within the internal control framework. To correct these ongoing material weaknesses referenced above, management has implemented an overall program of enhanced disclosures and review procedures. We continue to formalize and update the documentation of our internal control processes, including our financial reporting processes. Subject to additional working capital we intend to hire additional accounting personnel.
