(b) Delivery of Draw Down Notice. A Draw Down Notice shall be deemed
delivered only if it is on (i) the Trading Day that it is received by facsimile
or otherwise by the Investor if received prior to 3:00 p.m., New York City time
such Trading Day, or (ii) in the event it is received by facsimile or otherwise
subsequent to 3:00 p.m., New York City time, on a Trading Day, the immediately
succeeding Trading Day. No Draw Down Notice may be delivered other than on a
Trading Day during the Commitment Period.
(c) Determination of Draw Down Shares Issuable. Subject to Section 2.03(d)
and (e) hereof, the number of Draw Down Shares to be purchased by the Investor
with respect to any Draw Down shall be determined on a daily basis during the
applicable Valuation Period and shall equal with respect to any such Trading Day

Purchase Price for such Trading Day. The portion of the Investment Amount for
which Draw Down Shares may be issued for each Trading Day during the Valuation
Period may not exceed one-fifth (1/5) of the Investment Amount.
(d) Floor Price Limitation. If the VWAP on any Trading Day during a
Valuation Period is less than the Floor Price specified in the applicable Draw

Draw Down Shares otherwise to be purchased for such Trading Day. In such case,
the Investment Amount shall be reduced by one-fifth (1/5) of the Investment
Amount for each such Trading Day.
(e) Minimum Trading Hours Limitation. In the event that the Common Stock is
not listed and approved for trading on a Principal Market and free from any
halts or suspensions of trading (whether imposed generally on such Principal
Market or specifically with respect to the Common Stock) for a period of at
least six (6) hours on any Trading Day during a Valuation Period, then the
Company shall not sell and the Investor shall not purchase the Draw Down Shares
otherwise to be purchased in respect of such Trading Day. In such case, the
Investment Amount shall be reduced by one-fifth (1/5) of the Investment Amount
for each such Trading Day.
SECTION 2.04. SETTLEMENTS. Subject to the provisions of Section 6.04, on
each Settlement Date the Company shall, unless the Investor otherwise instructs
the Company to transmit shares of Common Stock to the Investor by other means,

designated by the Investor, with the Depository Trust Corporation through its
Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission system ("DWAC Transfer")) representing the
Draw Down Shares to be purchased by the Investor on such Settlement Date with
respect to the Draw Down Period immediately preceding such Settlement Date
pursuant to Section 2.03(c) hereof and, upon receipt of such Draw Down Shares,
the Investor shall deliver the portion of the Investment Amount representing the
Draw Down Shares to be purchased on such Settlement Date by wire transfer
immediately available funds to an account designated by the Company on or before
the Settlement Date. In addition, on or prior to each such Settlement Date, each
of the Company and the Investor shall deliver all documents, instruments and

of such Draw Down Shares for each seven (7) calendar day period, or part
thereof, following such failure, in cash, until such Draw Down Shares have been
delivered. Such amount may be subtracted by the Investor from the portion of the

transact business and is in good standing in each jurisdiction in which the
character of the properties owned or leased by it or the nature of its

prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries, taken as a whole, or any adverse
effect on the Company's ability to consummate the transactions contemplated by,
or to execute, deliver and perform its obligations under, each of the
Transaction Documents (a "Material Adverse Effect").

this Agreement is not subject to any preemptive rights, rights of first refusal
or other similar limitation. Except as otherwise required by law, there are no
restrictions upon the voting or transfer of any shares of the Company's Capital
Stock pursuant to the Company's Certificate of Incorporation, bylaws or other
documents. Except as provided herein or in the other Transaction Documents,

no action pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened regarding
suspension or cancellation of any of the Company Permits except for such Company
Permits the failure of which to possess, or the cancellation or suspension of

Preferred Stock held by the Investor or its affiliates), shall not exceed 4.9%

Limitation"). In addition, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement
during any consecutive 61-day period the Investor (together with its affiliates)
may not be issued Common Shares to the extent such purchase, when combined with
prior conversions of the Investor's shares of the Company's Series B Convertible
Preferred Stock or exercises of its warrants to purchase the Company's Common
Stock would in the aggregate exceed a number of shares of Common Stock exceeding
9.9% of the Company's issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock as of the

day of such 61-day period (the "9.9% Limitation"). The foregoing limitations may
not be waived, amended or modified. The Company shall have no obligation to
monitor compliance with the foregoing limitations. In the event the issuance of
the full number of Common Shares pursuant to a Draw Down Notice (assuming the

Down Notice) would cause the Investor to be in violation of the foregoing
limitations, the Investor shall within one Business Day of receiving such Draw
Down Notice notify the Company and on the Settlement Date, the Investor shall
only be required to purchase such number of Common Shares (pro rated over the
Valuation Period) which would not cause the Investor to be in violation of such
limitations. In the event that as a result of the foregoing, the Investor shall
not purchase Common Shares for the entire Investment Amount specified in such
Draw Down Notice, the Investor shall be required to pay
22
