Market.
If
any of the events described in
clauses (I) through (V) above occurs during a Pricing Period, then the Investor

(E)
RESERVED
(F)
MECHANICS OF PURCHASE OF SHARES BY
INVESTOR. Subject to the satisfaction of the conditions set forth in Sections
2(E), 7 and 8, the closing of the purchase by the Investor of Shares (a
"Closing") shall occur on the date which is no later than seven (7) Trading
Days
following the applicable Put Notice Date (each a "Closing Date"). Prior to
each
Closing Date, (I) the Company shall deliver to the Investor pursuant to this
Agreement, certificates representing the Shares to be issued to the Investor
on
such date and registered in the name of the Investor; and (II) the Investor
shall deliver to the Company the Purchase Price to be paid for such Shares,
determined as set forth in Section 2(B). In lieu of delivering physical
certificates representing the Securities and provided that the Company's
transfer agent then is participating in The Depository Trust Company ("DTC")
Fast Automated Securities Transfer ("FAST") program, upon request of the
Investor, the Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause
its
transfer agent to electronically transmit the Securities by crediting the
account of the Investor's prime broker (as specified by the Investor within
a
reasonably in advance of the Investor's notice) with DTC through its Deposit
Withdrawal Agent Commission ("DWAC") system.
The
Company understands that a delay in
the issuance of Securities beyond the Closing Date could result in economic
damage to the Investor. After the Effective Date, as compensation to the
Investor for such loss, the Company agrees to make late payments to the Investor
for late issuance of Securities (delivery of Securities after the applicable
Closing Date) in accordance with the following schedule (where "No. of Days
Late" is defined as the number of trading days beyond the Closing Date, with
the
Amounts being cumulative.):
LATE PAYMENT FOR EACH
NO. OF DAYS LATE $10,000
WORTH OF COMMON STOCK
1 $100
2 $200
3 $300
4 $400
5 $500
6 $600
7 $700
8 $800
9 $900
10 $1,000
Over 10 $1,000 + $200 for each
Business Day late beyond 10 days
|
The
Company shall make any payments
incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand by the
Investor. Nothing herein shall limit the Investor's right to pursue actual
damages for the Company's failure to issue and deliver the Securities to the
Investor, except that such late payments shall offset any such actual damages
incurred by the Investor, and any Open Market Adjustment Amount, as set forth
below.
(G)
OVERALL LIMIT ON COMMON STOCK
ISSUABLE. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, if during
the Open Period the Company becomes listed on an exchange that limits the number
of shares of Common Stock that may be issued without shareholder approval,
then
the number of Shares issuable by the Company and purchasable by the Investor,
shall not exceed that number of the shares of Common Stock that may be issuable
without shareholder approval (the "Maximum Common Stock
Issuance"). If such issuance of shares of Common Stock could cause a
delisting on the Principal Market, then the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall
first be approved by the Company's shareholders in accordance with applicable
law and the By-laws and Amended and Restated Certificate of Incorporation of
the
Company, if such issuance of shares of Common Stock could cause a delisting
on
the Principal Market. The parties understand and agree that the Company's
failure to seek or obtain such shareholder approval shall in no way adversely
affect the validity and due authorization of the issuance and sale of Securities
or the Investor's obligation in accordance with the terms and conditions hereof
to purchase a number of Shares in the aggregate up to the Maximum Common Stock
Issuance limitation, and that such approval pertains only to the applicability
of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance limitation provided in this Section
2(H).
(H) If,
by the third (3rd) business day
after the ClosingDate,
the
Company fails to deliver
any portion of the shares
of the Putto
the Investor (the
"Put Shares Due") and the Investorpurchases,
in an open market transaction
or otherwise, shares of Common Stock necessary to make delivery of shares which
would have been delivered if the full amount of the shares to be delivered
to
the Investorby
the Company (the "Open MarketSharePurchase")
, then the Company shall pay to
theInvestor,
in addition to any other amounts due
to Investorpursuant
to the Put,
and not in lieu thereof, the
Open MarketAdjustment
Amount (as defined
below). The "Open MarketAdjustment
Amount" is the amount equal
to the excess, if any, of (x) the Investor's
total purchase price (including
brokerage commissions, if any) for the Open Market Share Purchase minus(y)
the net proceeds (after brokerage
commissions, if any) received by theInvestorfrom
the sale of the Put SharesDue. The
Company shall pay the
Open MarketAdjustment
Amount to the Investorin
immediately available funds within
five (5) business days of written demand by the Investor. By
way of illustration and
not in limitation of the foregoing, if the Investorpurchases
shares of Common Stock having
a total purchase price (including brokerage commissions) of $11,000
to cover an Open
Market Purchase with
respect to shares of Common Stock it sold for net proceeds of $10,000, the
Open Market PurchaseAdjustment
Amount which the
Company will be required to pay to the Investorwill
be $1,000.
(I) LIMITATION
ON AMOUNT OF OWNERSHIP. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this
Agreement, in no event shall the Investor be entitled to purchase that number
of
Shares, which when added to the sum of the number of shares of Common Stock
beneficially owned (as such term is defined under Section 13(d) and Rule 13d-3
of the 1934 Act), by the Investor, would exceed 4.99% of the number of shares
of
Common Stock outstanding on the Closing Date, as determined in accordance with
Rule 13d-1(j) of the 1934 Act.

such revocations or modifications which, would not have a Material Adverse
Effect.

firm
with membership to the PCAOB and to maintain asset accountability; (III) access
