The Securities Purchase Agreement provides that in certain circumstances and subject to certain conditions, the Issuer has the right to require Elevation to sell up to an aggregate of 49,000 of the Units to one or more financial institutions or pursuant to an underwritten public offering prior to March 31, 2009 for a purchase price equal to or greater than the purchase price paid for such Units by Elevation, with the Issuer receiving any net gains realized upon such a sale.
