(i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver
to the Investor, through the use of a Deposit Withdrawal Agent
Commission system from a Deposit Trust Company method or commonly
referred to as "DWAC/DTC" of the Investor's choosing, the shares of
Common Stock applicable to the Advance in accordance with Section
2.3. In the event that the Company or its transfer agent is not
participating in the DWAC system or is not eligible to participate, the
Company will endeavor to participate or become eligible to participate
within a reasonable time from the date hereof. Notwithstanding, the
Investor will accept physical certificates representing the Company's
Common Stock applicable to any Advance in the event DWAC/DTC is not
available. Any such certificates shall be free of restrictive
legends. Upon receipt, Investor will perform a wire transfer on the
same business day provided that the shares have been received in
sufficient time to perform such transfer. In the event that the
Investor is no longer able, due to time constraints beyond his control,
to perform a wire on the day of receipt, the wire will be promptly
executed the following business day.
(ii) the Company shall have obtained all material permits and
qualifications required by any applicable state for the offer and sale
of the Registrable Securities, or shall have the availability of
exemptions therefrom. The sale and issuance of the Registrable
Securities shall be legally permitted by all laws and regulations to
which the Company is subject;
(iii) the Company shall have filed with the SEC in a timely manner
all reports, notices and other documents required of a "reporting
company" under the Exchange Act and applicable Commission regulations;
(iv) the fees as set forth in Section 12.4 below shall have been paid
or can be withheld as provided in Section 2.3; and
(b) Investor's Obligations Upon Closing. Upon receipt of the
shares referenced in Section 2.3(a)(i) above and provided the Company
is in compliance with its obligations in Section 2.3, the Investor
shall deliver to the Company the amount of the Advance specified in the
Drawdown Notice by wire transfer of immediately available funds.
Section 2.4. Hardship. In the event the Investor sells shares of the
Company's Common Stock after receipt of an Drawdown Notice and the
Company fails to perform its obligations as mandated in Section 2.3,
and specifically the Company fails to deliver to the Investor on the
Advance Date the shares of Common Stock corresponding to the applicable
Advance pursuant to Section 2.3(a)(i), the Company acknowledges that
the Investor shall suffer financial hardship and therefore shall be
liable for any and all losses, commissions, fees, interest, legal fees
or any other financial hardship caused to the Investor.
The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the securities
in the form required pursuant to this Agreement beyond the Closing
could result in economic loss to the Investor. After the Execution
Date, as compensation to the Investor for late issuance of such shares
(delivery of securities after the applicable closing), the Company
agrees to make payments to the Investor in accordance with the schedule
below where the number of days overdue is defined as the number of
business days beyond the close with amount due being cumulative.
The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in
