(a) Share Issuance.  At the First Closing, the Company shall issue to the Buyer that number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that equal to an aggregate value of One Hundred Twenty-Five Thousand Dollars ($125,000) (in the aggregate, the “Share Value”).  For purposes of determining the number of Incentive Shares issuable to Buyer under this Section 7.5, the Company’s Common Stock shall be valued as of the business day immediately prior to the date the purchase of the Debentures is funded by Buyer (the “Valuation Date”), using the daily volume weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Valuation Date (the “VWAP”), as reported by Bloomberg L.P.  On or prior to the First Closing, the Buyer shall confirm to the Company the VWAP for the Common Stock as of the Valuation Date, and the corresponding number of Incentive Shares issuable at the First Closing based on such VWAP.  The Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates representing the Incentive Shares issuable to the Buyer immediately upon the occurrence of the First Closing, and shall cause its transfer agent to deliver such certificates to Buyer within five (5) business days following the First Closing.  In the event such certificates representing the Incentive Shares issuable hereunder shall not be delivered to the Buyer within said five (5) business day period, same shall be an immediate default under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.  Notwithstanding the foregoing to the contrary, the Buyer shall have the right to require, as a condition precedent to the First Closing, that the transfer agent for the Company deliver to Buyer and its counsel written confirmation (which may be in the form of an e-mail) that there are no impediments, legal or otherwise, to the issuance of the Incentive Shares, and that the transfer agent has all required documents, resolutions and other items required to issue the Incentive Shares and deliver the Incentive Shares to Buyer, such that the only remaining undertaking to accomplish same is the ministerial act of issuing and delivering the Incentive Shares to Buyer or its counsel.  The Incentive Shares shall be deemed fully earned by Buyer upon issuance therefor.

(b) Adjustments.  It is the intention of the Company and Buyer that the value of the Incentive Shares on a date that is nine (9) months after the First Closing (the “Nine Month Valuation Date”) shall be a minimum of the Share Value.  Valuation of the Incentive Shares at the Nine Month Valuation Date shall be undertaken by Buyer using the VWAP of the Common Stock for the five (5) trading days immediately prior to the Nine Month Valuation Date, as reported by Bloomberg L.P.  In the event the value of the Incentive Shares issued to Buyer under this Section 7.5 (including any proceeds received by the Buyer from sales of the Incentive Shares at any time prior to the Nine Month Valuation Date), at the Nine Month Valuation Date, is less than the Share Value, then the Buyer shall so notify the Company and the Company hereby agrees to immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Buyer such that at the Nine Month Valuation Date, the Buyer shall have been issued Incentive Shares having an aggregate value, using the valuation methodology set forth above, equal to the Share Value.  In the event the value of the Incentive Shares issued to Buyer under this Section 7.5 (including any proceeds received by the Buyer from sales of the Shares at any time prior to the Nine Month Valuation Date), at the Nine Month Valuation Date, is more than the Share Value, then the Buyer shall so notify the Company and the Buyer hereby agrees to return to the Company such number of the Incentive Shares such that at the Nine Month Valuation Date, the Buyer shall only retain Incentive Shares having an aggregate value, using the valuation methodology set forth above, equal to the Share Value.  In the event such additional Incentive Share issuance is required at the Nine Month Valuation Date, the Company shall instruct its transfer agent to issue certificates representing such additional Incentive Shares to the Buyer immediately subsequent to the Buyer’s notification to the Company that additional Incentive Shares are issuable hereunder, and the Company shall in any event cause its transfer agent to deliver such certificates to Buyer within five (5) business days following the date Buyer notifies the Company that additional Incentive Shares are to be issued hereunder.  In the event such certificates representing such additional Incentive Shares issuable hereunder shall not be delivered to the Buyer within said five (5) business day period, same shall be an immediate default under this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.

(c) Registration of Shares.  The Common Stock to be issued to Buyer pursuant to this Section 7.5, and any Pledged Stock, shall be included on any registration statement filed by the Company after the date hereof, unless such shares may be resold without any limitation or restriction pursuant to Rule 144.

(d) Payment in Cash.  Subject to the terms of this Section 7.5(d), the Company retains the right to pay the Share Value in cash at any time prior to the Nine Month Valuation Date. In that regard, the Buyer shall not sell any portion of the Incentive Shares (either in accordance with Rule 144 or otherwise), unless the Buyer shall first notify the Company in writing of Buyer’s intention to so sell any portion of the Incentive Shares (such written notice hereinafter referred to as the “Sale Notice”), in which event the Company shall have the right to pay the Share Value in cash within five (5) business days from the date the Sale Notice is deemed delivered under this Agreement.  If the Company fails to pay the Share Value to the Buyer in cash within said five (5) business day period, then the Buyer shall have the absolute right to sell any portion of the Incentive Shares at any time thereafter, provided that Buyer shall not, in any one transaction, sell a number of Incentive Shares that exceed twenty percent (20%) of the average daily volume of the Common Stock traded for the immediately preceding three (3) trading days on the Principal Trading Market.  If the Company pays the Share Value in cash prior to the Nine Month Valuation Date, then the Buyer shall return the Incentive Shares (or any portion thereof remaining at such time) to the Company within ten (10) business days.

7.6 Pledged Stock.

(a) Number of Shares for Pledged Stock.  As additional security for the Company’s obligations under the Debentures and the other Transaction Documents, the Company shall issue and pledge to the Buyer under the Pledge Agreement a number of shares of the Company’s Common Stock that equal to an aggregate value of Nine Hundred Thousand Dollars ($900,000), such amount being three (3) times the amount of the Debentures being purchased at the First Closing (in the aggregate, the “Pledged Share Value”).  The Pledged Stock shall have a value equal to at least the Pledged Share Value at all times while the Debentures, or any portion thereof, remain outstanding and unpaid.  For purposes of determining the number of shares of Common Stock to comprise the Pledged Stock under this Section 7.6, the Company’s Common Stock shall be valued as of the Valuation Date, using the VWAP of the Common Stock, as reported by Bloomberg L.P.  On or prior to the First Closing, the Buyer shall confirm to the Company the VWAP for the Common Stock as of the Valuation Date, and the corresponding number of shares to be pledged under the Pledge Agreement as the Pledged Stock based on such VWAP.  The shares representing the Pledged Stock shall be delivered to the escrow agent under the Pledge Agreement on or prior to the First Closing in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement.

(b) Adjustment to Pledged Stock.  At any time while the Debentures remain outstanding and unpaid, the Buyer shall have the right to value the number of shares comprising the Pledged Stock based on the valuation methodology set forth in Section 7.6(a) above, and in the event the value of the Pledged Stock, based on such valuation, is less than the Pledged Share Value, then the Buyer shall so notify the Company and the Company hereby agrees to immediately take all required action necessary or required in order to cause the issuance of additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock to Buyer (or as otherwise required per the terms of the Pledge Agreement) to be added to the Pledged Stock and held in escrow pursuant to the terms of the Pledge Agreement, such that at all times while the Debentures remain outstanding and unpaid, the Pledged Stock being held under the Pledge Agreement shall have an aggregate value, using the valuation methodology set forth above, equal to the Pledged Share Value.  Such additional Pledged Stock shall be delivered within five (5) business days from the date that Buyer notifies the Company of the requirement for such additional shares of Pledged Stock.  The foregoing mechanism of issuing and adding shares of the Company’s Common Stock to the Pledged Stock to insure collateral coverage equal to at least the Pledged Share Value shall apply to any circumstances under which the aggregate value of the Pledged Stock at any time falls below the Pledged Share Value, including, without limitation, circumstances where such aggregate value falls as a result of a decline in the market price of the Common Stock on the Principal Trading Market, or circumstances where a portion of the Pledged Stock has been sold in accordance with the terms of the Pledge Agreement, thereby requiring additional shares of the Company’s Common Stock to be added to the Pledged Stock as hereby contemplated to insure that the Pledged Stock under the Pledge Agreement shall always have an aggregate value equal to at least the Pledged Share Value.
