In the event that the Borrowers have not drawn the full $5,000,000 made available by the April 2006 Lenders pursuant to the terms of the April 2006 Agreement prior to the Initial Closing Date, the Corporation may issue to Phoenix and/or its assignee(s), and Phoenix and/or its assignee(s) may purchase from the Corporation, in Phoenix’s sole discretion, Preferred Shares equal to the difference of $5,000,000 and the aggregate principal amount of debentures issued under the April 2006 Agreement at the purchase price of $0.34 per Preferred Share.
