10. COMMITTED EQUITY FINANCING FACILITY

In August 2010, we entered into a committed equity financing facility with Azimuth, under which we could sell to Azimuth up to the lesser of $60.0 million or 17,771,901 of our shares of common stock over a 24-month term, which began on September 9, 2010. During 2011 we completed two draws from this facility and raised a total of $5.6 million before placement agent and other issuance costs from the sale of approximately 4.5 million shares of our common stock. In July 2011, we cancelled this facility.

In May 2011, we entered into a new committed equity financing facility with Azimuth, under which we may sell to Azimuth up to the lesser of $40.0 million or 21,018,431 of our shares of common stock over a 24-month term, which began on July 8, 2011. From time to time over the agreement term, and at our sole discretion, we may present Azimuth with draw-down notices requiring Azimuth to purchase shares of our common stock over 10 consecutive trading days (the "Draw-Down Period") at a pre-determined purchase price. The agreement allows us, in our sole discretion but subject to certain limitations, to require Azimuth to purchase the greater of the daily allocation amount specified in the draw-down notice or a percentage of the daily trading volume of our common stock for each trading day during the Draw-Down Period.

The purchase price for shares of our common stock equals the daily volume-weighted average price of our common stock on each trading day during the Draw-Down Period, less a discount ranging from 3.50% to 10.0%. The discount is determined by a minimum threshold price that we solely specify, which in no event can be less than $0.75. The total dollar amount of each draw down is subject to certain agreed-upon limitations based on the market price of our common stock at the time of the draw down. We will determine, in our sole discretion, the timing, the dollar amount and the price per share of each draw under this facility, subject to certain conditions. We are allowed to present Azimuth with up to 24 draw-down notices during the agreement term, with only one such draw-down notice allowed per Draw-Down Period and a minimum of five trading days required between each Draw-Down Period.

In consideration for Azimuth's execution and delivery of the May 2011 purchase agreement, we paid Azimuth 225,000 shares of our common stock. Reedland Capital Partners is acting as placement agent and receives a fee for its services equal to 1% of the aggregate dollar amount of common stock purchased by Azimuth upon settlement of any draw under the facility.
