per share, for an aggregate subscription price of $90,000, and

bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.
Subscription . The Buyers hereby purchase the Securities
from the Company and the Company hereby sells and issues the
Securities to the Buyers. USA will deliver to the Buyers
certificates representing an aggregate of 15,000 shares of USA
Common Stock and all of the Warrants registered in the name of the
respective Buyer as detailed in Schedule A. In full payment for the
Securities, the Buyers will deliver to USA, upon receipt of the
Securities, checks payable to USA or wire transfers of immediately
available funds in the aggregate amount of $90,000.
No later than thirty days following the
date hereof, USA shall at its cost and expense prepare and file and
thereafter use its best efforts to have declared effective within
ninety (90) days from the date hereof, an appropriate Registration
Statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission
(“SEC”) registering all of the Shares and Warrant
Shares for resale by the holder under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (“Act”). The registration statement shall be
prepared as a “shelf” registration statement under Rule
415, and the Company shall use its best efforts to have the
registration statement maintained effective until the earlier of
(i) one year from the date hereof, or (ii) the
date that all of the Shares and Warrant
Shares are resold pursuant to the registration statement or
otherwise.
In the event that the registration
statement to be filed by the Company is not declared effective by
the SEC within ninety (90) days from the date hereof, then the
Company will pay to each Buyer as liquidated damages for such
failure and not as a penalty a cash payment equal to one percent
(1%) of the aggregate subscription price paid by each such Buyer
for each month beyond such ninety (90) day period that the
registration statement is not effective. The foregoing penalty
payments shall be pro-rated for any periods of less than one month.
The payment of such liquidated damages shall not relieve the
Company from its obligations to register the Shares and Warrant
Shares pursuant to this Agreement. The maximum aggregate penalty
payable to any Buyer shall be twelve percent (12%) of the aggregate
subscription price paid by any such Buyer.
