ARTICLE I

SUBSCRIPTION FOR AND PURCHASE OF COMMON STOCK

Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the date hereof, the Investor hereby subscribes for and agrees to purchase, and EEI hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Investor, 2,500,000 duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable unregistered shares of Common Stock (“Investor Common Stock”), at a purchase price of $.30 per share, or an aggregate purchase price of $750,000, payable in cash.

               1.02    Purchase and Sale of Warrant . Subject to and in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, on the date hereof, for the purchase price of $10.00 plus other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the Investor hereby agrees to purchase, and EEI hereby agrees to issue and sell to the Investor, a warrant (the “Warrant”) to purchase from EEI up to two million five hundred thousand (2,500,000) shares of Common Stock of EEI at an exercise price of $0.30 per share. The Warrant shall be exercisable on the date or dates (each, a ‘Vesting Date”) that EEI consummates any issuance of Common Stock or securities exercisable, convertible or exchangeable into Common Stock (“Common Stock Equivalents”) to any third party (a “Third Party Issuance”) in the 24 month period subsequent to the date of the Closing (as defined below). The number of shares of Common Stock that Investor may purchase under the Warrant as of each Vesting Date shall be equal to ten percent (10%) of the Common Stock issued and issuable under Common Stock Equivalents issued to such third party on each Vesting Date. The Warrant shall expire on the date that is 36 months from the first Vesting Date to occur thereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the total number of Common Shares issuable under the Warrant exceed the lesser of (i) that number of shares, which when added to (x) 2.815 million plus (y) any shares issued to Investor pursuant to the provisions of Article IV below, exceeds 9.98% of the total outstanding Common Shares of EEI at the time of exercise or (ii) 2.5 million shares.

ARTICLE II

REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS OF THE INVESTOR

               The Investor represents and warrants to, and agrees with, EEI as follows:

               2.01    Validity of Transaction . The Investor has all requisite power and authority to execute, deliver and perform this Agreement. All necessary corporate proceedings of the Investor have been duly taken to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Investor, is the legal, valid and binding obligation of the Investor, and is enforceable as to the Investor in accordance with its terms. No consent, authorization, approval, order, license, certificate, or permit of or from, or declaration or filing with, any Federal, state, local or other governmental authority or of any court or other tribunal is required by the Investor for the execution, delivery or performance of this Agreement by the Investor. No consent of any party to any contract, agreement, instrument, lease, license, arrangement or understanding to which the Investor is a party or by which any of its properties or assets is bound, is required for the execution, delivery or performance by the Investor of this Agreement, except for such consents as have been obtained at or prior to the date of this Agreement, other than such consents which do not and will not have a material and adverse change in, or effect on, the financial condition, properties assets, liabilities, operations or business, of a person and its subsidiaries taken as a whole, a (“Material Adverse Effect”). The execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by the Investor will not (a) violate, result in a breach of, conflict with, or (with or without the giving of notice or the passage of time or both) entitle any party to terminate or call a default under any such contract, agreement, instrument, lease, license, arrangement or understanding, or (b) violate or result in a breach of any term of the Certificate of Incorporation or By-laws of the Investor, or (c) violate, result in a breach of, or conflict with any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree binding on the Investor or which any of its operations, business, properties or assets is subject, except in the case of (a) or (c) such violations, breaches or conflicts which would not result in a Material Adverse Effect.

               2.02    Finder or Broker . Neither the Investor nor any person acting on behalf of the Investor has negotiated with any finder, broker, intermediary or similar person in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.

               2.03    Accredited Investor . The Investor is an “accredited investor,” as that term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”).

               2.04    Investment Intent . The Investor is acquiring the shares of Common Stock pursuant hereto for its own account for investment and not with a view to, or for sale in connection with, any public distribution thereof in violation of the Securities Act. The Investor understands that such shares of Common Stock are “restricted securities” and have not been registered for sale under the Securities Act or qualified under applicable state securities laws and that the Common Stock will be delivered to the Investor pursuant to one or more exemptions from the registration or qualification requirements of such securities laws and that the representations and warranties contained in this Article II are given with the intention that EEI may rely thereon for purposes of claiming such exemptions. The Investor understands that it must bear the economic risk of its investment in EEI for an indefinite period of time, as the Common Stock cannot be sold unless registered under the Securities Act and qualified under state securities laws, unless an exemption from such registration and qualification is available.

               2.05    Transfer of Shares . The Investor will not sell or otherwise dispose of the Warrant, any Investor Common Stock or Warrant Stock (collectively, the “Securities”) unless (a) a registration statement with respect thereto has become effective under the Securities Act and such Securities have been qualified under applicable state securities laws or (b) there is presented to EEI notice of the proposed transfer and, if EEI so requests, there is also presented to EEI a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to EEI that such registration and qualification are not required. The Investor consents that the transfer agent for the Common Stock may be instructed not to transfer the Common Stock acquired pursuant hereto unless it receives satisfactory evidence of compliance with the foregoing provisions, and that there may be endorsed upon any certificate representing the Common Stock acquired pursuant hereto (and any certificates issued in substitution therefor) the following legend calling attention to the foregoing restrictions on transferability and stating in substance:

  “THE SECURITIES EVIDENCED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE BEEN ACQUIRED FOR INVESTMENT AND HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 OR QUALIFIED UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAW. THESE SECURITIES MAY NOT BE SOLD, TRANSFERRED, OR OTHERWISE DISPOSED OF UNLESS THEY HAVE BEEN REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 AND APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES OR BLUE SKY LAWS OR AN EXEMPTION IS AVAILABLE.”  

EEI shall, upon the request of any holder of a certificate bearing the foregoing legend and the surrender of such certificate, issue a new certificate without such legend if (i) the securities evidenced by such certificate have been effectively registered under the Securities Act and qualified under any applicable state securities law and sold by the holder thereof in accordance with such registration and qualification or (ii) such holder shall have delivered to EEI a legal opinion reasonably satisfactory to EEI to the effect that the restrictions set forth herein are no longer required or necessary under the Securities Act or any applicable state law.
