Page 1 of 9

1.2 As soon as practicable after the mutual execution of this Agreement, the Plaintiff shall apply to the SDSC for a fairness hearing (the “Fairness Hearing”) under pursuant to Section 3(a) (10) of the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Securities Act”), and Section 25142 of the California Corporations Code (the “Corporations Code”), to promptly submit the terms and conditions of this Agreement to the Court for a hearing on the fairness of such terms and conditions, and the issuance exempt from registration of the Settlement Shares which the Defendant shall state its agreement with upon inquiry by the Court without objection. This Agreement shall thereafter become binding upon the Parties only upon entry of an order by the Court after a Fairness Hearing approving the terms of this Agreement (the “Order”).

2. ISSUANCE OF SETTLMENT SHARES. Following the entry of an Order by the Court in accordance with Paragraph 1.2 after a fairness hearing and the delivery by Trillium Partners, LP and the Defendant of the Stipulation of Dismissal (as defined below), in settlement of the Claims, the Defendant shall issue and deliver to Trillium Partners, LP shares of its Common Stock (the “Settlement Shares”) in one or more tranches as necessary, and subject to adjustment and ownership limitations as set forth below, sufficient to generate proceeds such that the aggregate Remittance Amount equals the Claim Amount. Plaintiff Trillium shall have the exclusive and irrevocable right to request its Settlement Shares be issued in the Series A Preferred Stock of the Defendant. The Common Stock of the Defendant trades publicly on the OTCID Basic Market under the symbol RGBP. The Series A Preferred Stock of the Defendant trades publicly on the OTCID Basic Market under the symbol RGBPP. Any and all Settlement Shares shall be subject to adjustment as may be required based on the designation thereof.

2.1 No later than the fifth (5^th) Trading Day following the date that the Court enters the Order, time being of the essence, Defendant shall: (i) cause its legal counsel to issue an opinion to Defendant’s transfer agent, in form and substance reasonably acceptable to Plaintiff and such transfer agent, that the Settlement Shares of the Defendant (Common Stock or Series A Preferred Stock), to be issued as the initial issuance and any additional issuance are legally issued, fully paid and non-assessable, are exempt from registration under the Securities Act, may be issued without restrictive legend, and may be resold by Plaintiff without restriction pursuant to the Court Order; and (ii) issue the Settlement Shares, in tranches as necessary, by physical delivery, or as Direct Registration Systems (DRS) shares to Plaintiff’s account with The Depository Trust Defendant (DTC) or through the Fast Automated Securities Transfer (FAST) Program of DTC’s Deposit/Withdrawal Agent Commission (DWAC) system, without any legends or restriction on transfer pursuant to the Court Order. The date upon which the first tranche of the Settlement Shares has been received into Plaintiff’s account and are available for sale by Plaintiff shall be referred to as the “Issuance Date”.

2.2 The Defendant shall deliver to Plaintiff Trillium Partners, LP, through the initial tranche and any required additional tranches, that number of Settlement Shares, the proceeds from sales of which, will generate an aggregate Remittance Amount equal to the Claim Amount ($398,740.00). Any Remittance Amount disbursed (and the associated sales of Settlement Shares executed) to satisfy claims of Sellers who are deemed affiliates of the Defendant shall be made only after the proscribed holding period has lapsed. To the extent that the Defendant issues Settlement Shares in excess of that necessary to satisfy the aggregate Claim Amount, Trillium Partners, LP shall return any excess Settlement Shares to Defendant for reinstatement as authorized, but unissued shares.

Page 2 of 9

2.3 The Claim Amount is equal to $398,740.00. As defined above, the Remittance Amount shall mean sixty five percent (65%) of Net Proceeds of the sale of Settlement Shares. To satisfy the Claim Amount in full, the parties reasonably estimate that the fair market value of the Settlement Shares to be received by Plaintiff shall be equal to approximately $697,795.00. The parties acknowledge that the number of Settlement Shares to be issued pursuant to this Agreement is indeterminable as of the date of its execution, and could well exceed the current existing number of shares outstanding as of the date of its execution.

2.4 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Settlement Shares beneficially owned by Trillium Partners, LP at any given time shall not exceed the number of such shares that, when aggregated with all other shares of Defendant then beneficially owned by Trillium Partners, LP, or deemed beneficially owned by Trillium Partners, LP, would result in Trillium Partners, LP owning more than 9.99% of all of such Common Stock (or Preferred Series A Stock) as would be outstanding on such date, as determined in accordance with Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In compliance therewith, the Defendant agrees to deliver the Initial Issuance and any additional issuances in one or more tranches.

3. NECESSARY ACTION. At all times after the execution of this Agreement and entry of the Order by the Court, each party hereto agrees to take or cause to be taken all such necessary action including, without limitation, the execution and delivery of such further instruments and documents, as may be reasonably requested by any party for such purposes or otherwise necessary to effect and complete the transactions contemplated hereby.

4. SPECIFIC RELEASE AS TO THE SETTLMENT SHARES. Upon receipt of all of the Settlement Shares required to be delivered hereby, in consideration of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and except for the obligations, representations and covenants arising or made hereunder or a breach hereof, the parties hereby release, acquit and forever discharge the other and each, every and all of their current and past officers, directors, shareholders, affiliated corporations, subsidiaries, agents, employees, representatives, attorneys, predecessors, successors and assigns (the “Released Parties”), of and from any and all claims, damages, cause of action, suits and costs, of whatever nature, character or description, whether known or unknown, anticipated or unanticipated, which the parties may now have or may hereafter have or claim to have against each other with respect to the Claims.
