2. Effective Date. This Agreement shall be effective when the Company and all of the Investors have executed this Agreement.
3. Conversion Price. Effective as of the effective date of this Agreement, the “Exercise Price” under the Warrant Bs shall be $1.31 per share.
4. Exercise of Warrant Bs. Effective as of the effective date of this Agreement, pursuant to Section 4(b) of the Warrant Bs, each Investor hereby elects to exercise in full such Investor’s Warrant B (for the number of Warrant Shares set forth on Schedule A hereto) at the new Exercise Price and, in connection therewith, hereby agrees to pay to the Company within one business day of the effective date of this Agreement the aggregate Exercise Price set forth on Schedule A. Pursuant to the terms of the Warrant Bs, as a result of such exercise and payment, the Company shall issue to such Investor the number of Warrant Shares and Additional Warrants set forth on Schedule A in accordance with the Warrants Bs. The effective date of this Agreement shall be the “Exercise Date” for all purposes under the Warrant Bs. The parties agree that this Agreement shall serve as an “Exercise Notice” under the Warrant Bs and, accordingly, each Investor does not have to deliver a separate Exercise Notice to effect such exercise under such Investor’s Warrant B.
5. Note Amendments.
(a) Each Investor agrees that the first sentence of Section 6(c)(iii) of such Investor’s Note (to the extent such Investor still holds a Note) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is hereby inserted in its place:
“If the Company has not obtained Shareholder Approval (as defined below), then the Company may not issue in excess of the Issuable Maximum upon (i) conversions or redemptions of the Notes, (ii) as payment of principal or interest on the Notes, or (iii) exercise of the Warrant Bs.”
(b) Each Investor agrees that the last sentence of Section 6(c)(iii) of such Investor’s Note (to the extent such Investor still holds a Note) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is hereby inserted in its place:
“The Company and the Holder understand and agree that shares of Common Stock issued to and then held by the Holder as a result of conversions or redemptions of the Notes, as payment of principal or interest on the Notes, or exercise of the Warrant Bs shall not be entitled to vote on any resolution to obtain Shareholder Approval pursuant hereto.”
6. Shareholder Approval. The Company shall hold a special meeting of shareholders at the earliest practical date after the date hereof, but in no event later than December 31, 2007, for the purpose of obtaining Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Notes), with the recommendation of the Company’s Board of Directors that such proposal be approved; provided that no such meeting shall be required to be held if the Notes are no longer outstanding.
7. Excluded Stock. The Investors hereby confirm and agree that the Common Stock issued upon exercise of the Warrant Bs, upon the term set forth herein, is encompassed within the definition of “Excluded Stock” under the Purchase Agreement pursuant to subsection (C) thereof.
8. SEC Reports. The Company has filed all SEC Reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, including pursuant to Section 13(a) or 15(d) thereof, for the one year period preceding the date hereof on a timely basis or has received a valid extension of such time of filing and has filed any such SEC Reports prior to the expiration of any such extension.

The Company has not received any notification from the SEC of a stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement and is not aware that the SEC has initiated any proceedings for that purpose.

12. Disclosure. The Company confirms that neither it nor any person acting on its behalf has provided any of the Investors or their agents with any information that constitutes or could reasonably be expected to constitute material, nonpublic information, other than the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3
disclosed all material, nonpublic information delivered to any of the Investors in connection with this Agreement.
13. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed shall be deemed to be an original and, all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. In the event that any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission, such signature shall create a valid binding obligation of the party executing (or on whose behalf such signature is executed) the same with the same force and effect as if such facsimile signature were the original thereof.
