Notwithstanding the conversion rights under the Convertible Bridge Notes, unless Purchaser delivers a waiver in accordance with the immediately following sentence, in no event shall Purchaser be entitled to convert any portion of the Convertible Bridge Notes, in excess of that portion of the Convertible Bridge Notes, as applicable, of which the sum of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by Purchaser and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Convertible Bridge Note or other Derivative Securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock which contain a limitation similar to that set forth in this Section 10.3), and (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of the Convertible Bridge Note with respect to which this determination is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by Purchaser and its Affiliates of more than 9.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. For purposes of Section 10.3(i) beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Rule 13d-3 of the Exchange Act and Regulations 13 D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.3. The foregoing limitation shall not apply and shall be of no further force or effect (i) immediately preceding and upon the occurrence of any voluntary or mandatory redemption or repayment transaction described herein or in the Convertible Bridge Notes, (ii) immediately preceding and upon any Sale Event, (iii) on the Maturity Date or (iv) following the occurrence of any Event of Default which is not cured for a period of ten (10) calendar days.

4 Registration Rights.

(a) In the event that the S-1 Registration Statement filed on 7/3/12 is not declared effective within 90 days of the Closing Date, the Company shall grant Purchaser registration rights covering the Conversion Shares (the “Registrable Securities”), and, subject to the limitations imposed by the SEC in accordance with Rule 415, the Purchaser shall have the right to sell the Conversion Shares under a registration statement including the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission on the earlier of (i) 120 days of the Closing Date, (ii) five days following the receipt of a “No Review” Letter from the Commission or (iii) the first day following the day the Commission determines the Registration Statement eligible to be declared effective (the ‘Required Effectiveness date”). The Company shall pay all expenses of registration (other than underwriting fees and discounts, if any, in respect of Registrable Securities offered and sold under each registration statement by Purchaser).

(b) If the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the Required Effectiveness Date, the Company shall ( a) Redeem the Convertible Bridge Notes in Cash, or (b) pay to Purchaser, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, an amount equal to 2% of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Bridge Notes, prorated, for each 30 day period after the Required Effective Date the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission, which amount will be increased to 3% of the outstanding principal amount of the Convertible Bridge Notes in the event that the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission within 120 days of the Required Effective Date. In no event shall the liquidated damages exceed in aggregate 14%.

(c) Any such liquidated damages shall be paid in cash by the Company to Purchaser by wire transfer in immediately available funds on the last day of each calendar week following the event requiring its payment.

(d) If, following the declaration of effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the Subsequent Registration Statement, such registration statement (or any prospectus or supplemental prospectus contained therein) shall cease to be effective for any reason (including but not limited to the occurrence of any event that results in any prospectus or supplemental prospectus containing an untrue statement of a material fact or omitting 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, not misleading), the Company fails to file required amendments to the Registration Statement or Subsequent Registration Statement in order to allow the Purchaser to exercise its rights to receive unrestricted, unlegended, freely tradeable shares of Common Stock, or if for any reason there are insufficient shares of such shares of Common Stock registered under the then current Registration Statement or Subsequent Registration Statement to effect full conversion of the Convertible Bridge Notes (a "Registration Default"), the Company shall immediately take all necessary steps to cause the Registration Statement or Subsequent Registration Statement to be amended or supplemented so as to cure such Registration Default. Failure to cure a Registration Default within fifteen (15) business days shall result in the Company paying to Purchaser liquidated damages at the rate of $5,000 per day from the date of such Registration Default until the Registration Default is cured.

Omitted.

ARTICLE 11. ADJUSTMENT OF FIXED PRICE

1 Reorganization . The Conversion Price (the “Fixed Prices”) shall be adjusted, as applicable, as hereafter provided.

2 Share Reorganization . If and whenever the Company shall:

(i) subdivide the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares;

(ii) consolidate the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a smaller number of shares;

(iii) issue Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock as a stock dividend to all or substantially all the holders of Common Stock; or

(iv) make a distribution on the outstanding Common Stock to all or substantially all the holders of Common Stock payable in Common Stock or securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock;

any of such events being herein called a “Share Reorganization,” then in each such case the applicable Fixed Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of Common Stock are determined for the purposes of the Share Reorganization or, if no record date is fixed, the effective date of the Share Reorganization, by multiplying the applicable Fixed Price in effect on such record or effective date, as the case may be, by a fraction of which:

(i) the numerator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record or effective date (without giving effect to the transaction); and

(II) the denominator shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding after giving effect to such Share Reorganization, including, in the case of a distribution of securities convertible into or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock, the number of shares of Common Stock that would have been outstanding if such securities had been converted into or exchanged for Common Stock on such record or effective date.

3 Rights Offering. If and whenever the Company shall issue to all or substantially all the holders of Common Stock, rights, options or warrants under which such holders are entitled, during a period expiring not more than 45 days after the record date of such issue, to subscribe for or purchase Common Stock (or Derivative Securities), at a price per share (or, in the case of securities convertible into or exchangeable for Common Stock, at an exchange or conversion price per share at the date of issue of such securities) of less than 95% of the Market Price of the Common Stock on such record date (any such event being herein called a “Rights Offering”), then in each such case the applicable Fixed Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the record date at which holders of Common Stock are determined for the purposes of the Rights Offering, by multiplying the applicable Fixed Price in effect on such record date by a fraction of which:

(i) the numerator shall be the sum of:

	(i)	the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date; and

	(II)	a number obtained by dividing:

	(A)	either,

(x) the product of the total number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase and the price at which such shares are so offered, or

(y) the product of the maximum number of shares of Common Stock into or for which the convertible or exchangeable securities so offered for subscription or purchase may be converted or exchanged and the conversion or exchange price of such securities, or, as the case may be, by

(B) the Market Price of the Common Stock on such record date; and

(ii) the denominator shall be the sum of:

(i) the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date; and

(II) the number of shares of Common Stock so offered for subscription or purchase (or, in the case of Derivative Securities, the maximum number of shares of Common Stock for or into which the securities so offered for subscription or purchase may be converted or exchanged).

To the extent that such rights, options or warrants are not exercised prior to the expiry time thereof, the applicable Fixed Price shall be readjusted effective immediately after such expiry time to the applicable Fixed Price which would then have been in effect upon the number of shares of Common Stock (or Derivative Securities) actually delivered upon the exercise of such rights, options or warrants.

4 Special Distribution. If and whenever the Company shall issue or distribute to all or substantially all the holders of Common Stock:

(i) shares of the Company of any class, other than Common Stock;

(ii) rights, options or warrants; or

(iii) any other assets (excluding cash dividends and equivalent dividends in shares paid in lieu of cash dividends in the ordinary course);

and if such issuance or distribution does not constitute a Share Reorganization or a Rights Offering (any such event being herein called a “Special Distribution”), then in each such case the applicable Fixed Price shall be adjusted, effective immediately after the record date at which the holders of Common Stock are determined for purposes of the Special Distribution, by multiplying the applicable Fixed Price in effect on such record date by a fraction of which:

(i) the numerator shall be the difference between:

(A) the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the Market Price of the Common Stock on such date; and

(B) the fair market value, as determined by the Directors (whose determination shall be conclusive), to the holders of Common Stock of the shares, rights, options, warrants, evidences of indebtedness or other assets issued or distributed in the Special Distribution (net of any consideration paid therefor by the holders of Common Stock), and

(ii) the denominator shall be the product of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding on such record date and the Market Price of the Common Stock on such date.

5 Capital Reorganization. If and whenever there shall occur:

(i) a reclassification or redesignation of the shares of Common Stock or any change of the shares of Common Stock into other shares, other than in a Share Reorganization;

(ii) a consolidation, merger or amalgamation of the Company with, or into another body corporate; or

(iii) the transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to another body corporate;

(any such event being herein called a “Capital Reorganization”), then in each such case the holder who exercises the right to convert Convertible Bridge Notes after the effective date of such Capital Reorganization shall be entitled to receive and shall accept, upon the exercise of such right, in lieu of the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon the exercise of the conversion privilege, the aggregate number of shares or other securities or property of the Company or of the body corporate resulting from such Capital Reorganization that such holder would have been entitled to receive as a result of such Capital Reorganization if, on the effective date thereof, such holders had been the holder of the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder was theretofore entitled upon conversion; provided, however, that no such Capital Reorganization shall be consummated in effect unless all necessary steps shall have been taken so that such holders shall thereafter be entitled to receive such number of shares or other securities of the Company or of the body corporate resulting from such Capital Reorganization, subject to adjustment thereafter in accordance with provisions the same, as nearly as may be possible, as those contained above.

6 Purchase Price Adjustments. In case, except in the case of Permitted Financings, at any time and from time to time the Company shall issue any shares of Common Stock or Derivative Securities convertible or exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the number of shares so issued, or issuable upon conversion or exercise of such Derivative Securities, as applicable, being referred to as “Additional Shares of Common Stock”) for consideration less than the then Market Price at the date of issuance of such shares of Common Stock or such Derivative Securities, in each such case the Conversion Price shall, concurrently with such issuance, be adjusted by multiplying the Conversion Price immediately prior to such event by a fraction: (i) the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such Additional Shares of Common Stock plus the number of shares of Common Stock that the aggregate consideration received by the Company for the total number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued would purchase at the Market Price and (ii) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of Additional Shares of Common Stock plus the number of such Additional Shares of Common Stock so issued or sold.

7 Adjustment Rules . The following rules and procedures shall be applicable to adjustments made in this Article XI:

(a) no adjustment in the applicable Fixed Price shall be required unless such adjustment would result in a change of at least 1% in the applicable Fixed Price then in effect, provided, however, that any adjustments which, but for the provisions of this clause would otherwise have been required to be made, shall be carried forward and taken into account in any subsequent adjustment;

(b) if any event occurs of the type contemplated by the adjustment provisions of this Article XI but not expressly provided for by such provisions, the Company will give notice of such event as provided herein, and the Company’s board of directors will make an appropriate adjustment in the Fixed Price so that the rights of the holders of the applicable Security shall not be diminished by such event; and

(c) if a dispute shall at any time arise with respect to any adjustment of the applicable Fixed Price, such dispute shall be conclusively determined by a firm of independent chartered accountants selected by the Purchaser and any such determination shall be binding upon the Company and Purchaser.

8 Certificate as to Adjustment. The Company shall from time to time promptly after the occurrence of any event which requires an adjustment in the applicable Fixed Price deliver to Purchaser a certificate specifying the nature of the event requiring the adjustment, the amount of the adjustment necessitated thereby, the applicable Fixed Price after giving effect to such adjustment and setting forth, in reasonable detail, the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

9 Notice to Holders . If the Company shall fix a record date for:

(a) any Share Reorganization (other than the subdivision of outstanding Common Stock into a greater number of shares or the consolidation of outstanding Common Stock into a smaller number of shares),

(b) any Rights Offering,

(d) any Capital Reorganization (other than a reclassification or redesignation of the Common Stock into other shares),

(e) Sale Event; or

(f) any cash dividend,

the Company shall, not less than 10 days prior to such record date or, if no record date is fixed, prior to the effective date of such event, give to Purchaser notice of the particulars of the proposed event or the extent that such particulars have been determined at the time of giving the notice.

ARTICLE 13. EVENTS OF DEFAULT

1 Events of Default. If one or more of the following events (each an “Event of Default”) shall have occurred and be continuing:

(a) failure by the Company to pay or repay when due, all or any part of the principal on any of the Convertible Bridge Notes (whether by virtue of the agreements specified in this Agreement or the Convertible Bridge Notes);

(f) the Registration Statement shall not have been declared effective by the Commission by the Required Effectiveness Date, or such effectiveness shall not be maintained for the Registration Maintenance Period, in each case which results in the Company incurring the Default Fee for a period in excess of 10 days;

(g) the Company or any Subsidiary has commenced a voluntary case or other proceeding seeking liquidation, winding-up, reorganization or other relief with respect to itself or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, or has consented to any such relief or to the appointment of or taking possession by any such official in an involuntary case or other proceeding commenced against it, or has made a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or has failed generally to pay its debts as they become due, or has taken any corporate action to authorize any of the foregoing;

(h) an involuntary case or other proceeding has been commenced against the Company or any Subsidiary seeking liquidation, winding-up, reorganization or other relief with respect to it or its debts under any bankruptcy, insolvency, moratorium or other similar law now or hereafter in effect or seeking the appointment of a trustee, receiver, liquidator, custodian or other similar official of it or any substantial part of its property, and such involuntary case or other proceeding shall remain undismissed and unstayed for a period of 60 days, or an order for relief has been entered against the Company or any Subsidiary under the federal bankruptcy laws as now or hereafter in effect;

(i) default in any provision (including payment) or any agreement governing the terms of any Debt of the Company or any Subsidiary in excess of $50,000, which has not been cured within any applicable period of grace associated therewith;

(j) judgments or orders for the payment of money which in the aggregate at any one time exceed $100,000 and are not covered by insurance have been rendered against the Company or any Subsidiary by a court of competent jurisdiction and such judgments or orders shall continue unsatisfied and unstayed for a period of 60 days; or

(k) any representation, warranty, certification or statement made by the Company in any Transaction Agreement or which is contained in any certificate, document or financial or other statement furnished at any time under or in connection with any Transaction Agreement shall prove to have been untrue in any material respect when made.

then, and in every such occurrence, Purchaser may, with respect to an Event of Default specified in paragraphs (a) or (b), and the Majority Holders may, with respect to any other Event of Default, by notice to the Company, declare the Convertible Bridge Notes to be, and the Convertible Bridge Notes shall thereon become immediately due and payable; provided that in the case of any of the Events of Default specified in paragraph (j) or (k) above with respect to the Company or any Subsidiary, then, without any notice to the Company or any other act by Purchaser, the entire amount of the Convertible Bridge Notes shall become immediately due and payable, provided, further, if any Event of Default has occurred and is continuing, and irrespective of whether any Convertible Bridge Note has been declared immediately due and payable hereunder, any Purchaser of Convertible Bridge Notes may proceed to protect and enforce the rights of Purchaser by an action at law, suit in equity or other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any agreement contained herein or in any Convertible Bridge Note, or for an injunction against a violation of any of the terms hereof or thereof, or in aid of the exercise of any power granted hereby or thereby or by law or otherwise, and provided further, in the case of any Event of Default, the amount declared due and payable on the Convertible Bridge Notes shall be the Formula Price thereof.

2 Powers and Remedies Cumulative.

The assertion or employment of any right or remedy hereunder, or otherwise, shall not prevent the concurrent assertion or employment of any other appropriate right or remedy. Every power and remedy given by the Convertible Bridge Notes or by law may be exercised from time to time, and as often as shall be deemed expedient, by Purchaser.

ARTICLE 14. MISCELLANEOUS

1 Notices. All notices, demands and other communications to any party hereunder shall be in writing (including facsimile, email or similar writing) and shall be given to such party at its address set forth on the signature pages hereof, or such other address as such party may hereafter specify for the purpose to the other parties. Each such notice, demand or other communication shall be effective (i) if given by telecopy, when such telecopy is transmitted to the telecopy number specified on the signature page hereof, (ii) if given by mail, four days after such communication is deposited in the mail with first class postage prepaid, addressed as aforesaid or (iii) if given by any other means, when delivered at the address specified in or pursuant to this Section.

2 No Waivers; Amendments.

(a) No failure or delay on the part of any party in exercising any right, power or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right, power or remedy preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or remedy.

(b) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended, supplemented or waived if, but only if, such amendment, supplement or waiver is in writing and is signed by the Company and the Majority Holders; provided, that without the consent of each holder of any Convertible Bridge Note affected thereby, an amendment or waiver may not (a) reduce the aggregate principal amount of Convertible Bridge Notes whose holders must consent to an amendment or waiver, (b) reduce the rate or extend the time for payment of interest on any Convertible Bridge Note, (c) reduce the principal amount of or extend the stated maturity of any Convertible Bridge Note or (d) make any Convertible Bridge Note payable in money or property other than as stated in such Convertible Bridge Note.

3 Indemnification .

(c) The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Purchaser, its Affiliates, and each Person, if any, who controls Purchaser, or any of its Affiliates, within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (each, a “Controlling Person”), and the respective partners, agents, employees, officers and Directors of Purchaser, their Affiliates and any such Controlling Person (each an “Indemnified Party”) and collectively, the “Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, without limitation and as incurred, reasonable costs of investigating, preparing or defending any such claim or action, whether or not such Indemnified Party is a party thereto, provided that the Company shall not be obligated to advance such costs to any Indemnified Party other than Purchaser unless it has received from such Indemnified Party an undertaking to repay to the Company the costs so advanced if it should be determined by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction that such Indemnified Party was not entitled to indemnification hereunder with respect to such costs) which may be incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with any investigative, administrative or judicial proceeding brought or threatened that relates to or arises out of, or is in connection with any activities contemplated by any Transaction Agreement or any other services rendered in connection herewith; provided that the Company will not be responsible for any claims, liabilities, losses, damages or expenses that are determined by final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction to result from such Indemnified Party’s gross negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.

(d) If any action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnity may be sought against the Company under this Agreement, such Indemnified Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing and the Company, at its option, may, assume the defense thereof, including the employment of counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party and payment of all reasonable fees and expenses. The failure to so notify the Company shall not affect any obligations the Company may have to such Indemnified Party under this Agreement or otherwise unless the Company is materially adversely affected by such failure. Such Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such Indemnified Party, unless (i) the Company has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include such Indemnified Party and the Company, and such Indemnified Party shall have been advised by counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to it which are different from or additional to those available to the Company, in which case, if such Indemnified Party notifies the Company in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the Company, the Company shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action or proceeding on behalf of such Indemnified Party, provided, however, that the Company shall not, in connection with any one such action or proceeding or separate but substantially similar or related actions or proceedings in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be responsible hereunder for the reasonable fees and expenses of more than one such firm of separate counsel, in addition to any local counsel, which counsel shall be designated by Purchaser. The Company shall not be liable for any settlement of any such action effected without the written consent of the Company (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) and the Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party from and against any loss or liability by reason of settlement of any action effected with the consent of the Company. In addition, the Company will not, without the prior written consent of Purchaser, settle or compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment in or otherwise seek to terminate any pending or threatened action, claim, suit or proceeding in respect to which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not any Indemnified Party is a party thereto) unless such settlement, compromise, consent or termination includes an express unconditional release of Purchaser and the other Indemnified Parties, satisfactory in form and substance to Purchaser, from all liability arising out of such action, claim, suit or proceeding.

(e) If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable (otherwise than pursuant to the express terms of such indemnity) to an Indemnified Party or insufficient to hold an Indemnified Party harmless, then in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, the Company shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such claims, liabilities, losses, damages, or expenses (i) in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and by Purchaser on the other from the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or (ii) if the allocation provided by clause (i) is not permitted under applicable law, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only the relative benefits received by the Company on the one hand and Purchaser on the other, but also the relative fault of the Company and Purchaser as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 13.3, the aggregate contribution of all Indemnified Parties shall not exceed the amount of interest and fees actually received by Purchaser pursuant to this Agreement. It is hereby further agreed that the relative benefits to the Company on the one hand and Purchaser on the other with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact related to information supplied by the Company or by Purchaser and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. 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.

(f) The indemnification, contribution and expense reimbursement obligations set forth in this Section 13.3 (i) shall be in addition to any liability the Company may have to any Indemnified Party at common law or otherwise; (ii) shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the other Transaction Agreements and the payment in full of the Convertible Bridge Notes and (iii) shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of Purchaser or any other Indemnified Party.

4 Expenses: Documentary Taxes. The Company shall be responsible for __________ costs and expenses in connection with the negotiation and preparation of the Transaction Agreements, relevant due diligence, and fees and disbursements of legal counsel. Notwithstanding the forgoing, the Company agrees to pay any and all stamp, transfer and other similar taxes, assessments or charges payable in connection with the execution and delivery of any Transaction Agreement or the issuance of the Securities to Purchaser, excluding their assigns.

5 Payment. The Company agrees that, so long as Purchaser shall own any Convertible Bridge Notes purchased by it from the Company hereunder, the Company will make payments to Purchaser of all amounts due thereon by wire transfer by 4:00 P.M. (E.S.T.).

6 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Company and upon Purchaser and its respective successors and assigns; provided that the Company shall not assign or otherwise transfer its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any other Person without the prior written consent of the Majority Holders. All provisions hereunder purporting to give rights to Purchaser and its affiliates or to holders of Securities are for the express benefit of such Persons and their successors and assigns.

7 Brokers. Except for a fee payable to Moody Capital solutions in the amount of $___________, the Company represents and warrants that it has not employed any broker, finder, financial advisor or investment banker who would be entitled to any brokerage, finder’s or other fee or commission payable by the Company or Purchaser in connection with the sale of the Securities.

8 Georgia Law; Submission to Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial; Appointment of Agent . THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF GEORGIA. EACH PARTY HERETO HEREBY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF GEORGIA AND OF ANY FEDERAL DISTRICT COURT SITTING IN ATLANTA, GEORGIA FOR PURPOSES OF ALL LEGAL PROCEEDINGS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY. EACH PARTY HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES, TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER HAVE TO THE LAYING OF THE VENUE OF ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT AND ANY CLAIM THAT ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BROUGHT IN SUCH A COURT HAS BEEN BROUGHT IN AN INCONVENIENT FORUM. EACH PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY CONSENTS TO THE SERVICE OF PROCESS IN ANY SUCH PROCEEDING BY THE MAILING OF COPIES THEREOF BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL, POSTAGE PREPAID, TO SUCH PARTY AT ITS ADDRESS SET FORTH HEREIN. NOTHING HEREIN SHALL AFFECT THE RIGHT OF ANY PARTY TO SERVE PROCESS IN ANY OTHER MANNER PERMITTED BY LAW. EACH PARTY WAIVES ITS RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY.

9 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits or Schedules hereto, which include the Convertible Bridge Note, set forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, negotiations and understandings between the parties, both oral and written relating to the subject matter hereof. The terms and conditions of all Exhibits and Schedules to this Agreement are incorporated herein by this reference and shall constitute part of this Agreement as is fully set forth herein.

10 Survival; Severability. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements of the parties hereto shall survive the Closing hereunder. In the event that any provision of this Agreement becomes or is declared by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without said provision; provided that such severability shall be ineffective if it materially changes the economic benefit of this Agreement to any party.

13 Publicity. The Company and the Purchaser shall consult with each other in issuing any press releases or otherwise making public statements with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby and no party shall issue any such press release or otherwise make any such public statement without the prior written consent of the other parties, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, except that no prior consent shall be required if such disclosure is required by law, in which such case the disclosing party shall provide the other parties with prior notice of such public statement.
