    Abstract: Described is a method and system for raising capital for a Company, wherein the Company files a registration with a government agency for the sale of equity in the Company, and the Company and Underwriter prepare and execute an agreement which grants the Company an option to obligate the Underwriter to sell a predetermined volume of equity in the Company according to a predefined price structure during a predefined time period. The agreement obligates the Underwriter to remedy a failure by fulfilling obligations to the Company under the agreement. When capital is needed, the Company may forward to the Underwriter a Capital Demand Notice setting forth terms for a particular sale of equity. The Underwriter may accept or reject the Capital Demand Notice based on a review of information regarding the Company and the Capital Demand Notice. Upon an occurrence of a predefined failure under the agreement, the Underwriter is obligated to remedy its failure.
