The Company and the Holder are parties to, among other agreements, a Senior Secured Convertible Note dated December 21, 2007 as amended, executed by the Company in favor of the Holder, a copy of which is attached hereto and by this reference incorporated herein (the “Note”), a Warrant to Purchase Common stock dated December 21, 2007 (the “Warrant”), as amended and a Registration Rights Agreement dated December 21, 2007 (the “Registration Rights Agreement”).

B.

The Note and the Warrant contain provisions that adjust the conversion price of the Note and the exercise price of the Warrant in the event capital is raised by the Company at prices less than the current Conversion Price and Exercise Price.

C.

The Company is in the process of raising additional capital and, in connection therewith, has requested that the Holder modify the adjustment of Conversion Price and Exercise Price provisions of the Note and Warrant, respectively.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1.          Amendments to the Note.  

(a)

Section (1) of the Note is hereby amended in part to change the definition of Qualified Financing Transaction as follows:

“ For purposes of this Note, the term "Qualified Financing Transaction" shall mean one or more or a series of financing transactions in which the Company raises gross proceeds not less than $8,000,000 (Eight Million Dollars) pursuant to the issuance of equity securities provided that such securities are junior in all rights to this Note and are otherwise issued on terms satisfactory to the Holder in its sole discretion.”  

 (b)

Adjustment of Conversion Price.  Paragraph 7(e) of the Note shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Adjustment of Conversion Price.  In the event a Qualified Financing Transaction is consummated on or before December 3, 2010, the provisions of paragraphs 7(a)-7(d) of the Note shall not apply to the sales of Common Stock sold in the Qualified Financing Transaction, and the Conversion Price of the Note shall be reduced to an amount equal to 150% of the lowest sales price of Common Stock sold during 2010; provided, however, this paragraph 7(e) shall not be effective unless the Company has consummated a Qualified Financing Transaction on or before December 3, 2010.  In the event the Company issues Common Stock before December 3, 2010, but has not raised sufficient funds to qualify as a Qualified Financing Transaction, the Conversion Price shall be determined in accordance with Paragraph 7(a) for the sale of such shares of Common Stock.

(c)

Paragraph 9 of the Note entitled COMPANY REDEMPTION RIGHT is hereby deleted and of no further force nor effect.

2.

Amendments to Warrant .  

(a)

Paragraph 2(e) of the Warrant shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Adjustment of Exercise Price. In the event a Qualified Financing Transaction is consummated on or before December 3, 2010, the provisions of paragraphs 2(a)-2(d) of the Warrant shall not apply to the sales of Common Stock sold in the Qualified Financing Transaction, but the Exercise Price of the Note shall be reduced to the amount that is 150% of the lowest price that Common Stock has been sold during 2010 and the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise shall be increased to the amount calculated using the provisions of Paragraph 7(a) of the Note for that adjusted Exercise Price; provided, however, this paragraph 2(e) shall not be effective unless the Company has consummated a Qualified Financing Transaction on or before December 3, 2010.  In the event the Company issues Common Stock before December 3, 2010, but has not raised sufficient funds to qualify as a Qualified Financing Transaction, the Exercise Price and the number of Warrant Shares shall be determined in accordance with Paragraph 7(a) for the sale of such shares of Common Stock.

(b)

Paragraph 16(i) of the Warrant shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:

Expiration Date shall mean the later of December 30, 2013 and the latest expiration date of the warrants issued in the Qualified Financing Transaction (if any) or, if such date falls on a day other than a Business Day or on which trading does not take place on the Principal Market (a “Holiday”), the next day that is not a Holiday.

 Course of Dealing; Waivers.  No course of dealing on the part of the Holder or its partners or affiliates, nor any failure or delay in the exercise of any right by the Holder, shall operate as a waiver thereof, and any single or partial exercise of any such right shall not preclude any later exercise of any such right.  The Holder’s failure at any time to require strict performance by the Company of any provision shall not affect any right of the Holder thereafter to demand strict compliance and performance.  Any suspension or waiver of a right must be in writing signed by the Holder.

(d)

(e)
