Stock") and (iii) the Series C Convertible Preferred Stock, no par value per

share (the "Series C Preferred Stock), set forth on Exhibit B hereto.

B. The Company has issued to Huntingdon (i) the convertible promissory

C Convertible Preferred Stock, set forth on Exhibit B hereto.

C. The Company requires financing (the "Financing") to meet certain debt

payment obligations and its working capital requirements and is raising

approximately $35,900,000 in connection with the sale of Series D Convertible

Preferred Stock, no par value per share (the "Series D Preferred Stock"),

pursuant to the terms of that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated the

date hereof (the "Securities Purchase Agreement"), by and among the Company and

the entities whose names appear on the signature page thereto (the "Investors").

Capitalized terms used but not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning

set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement.

D. On the date hereof, a majority of the Company's shareholders has

approved by written consent (the "Written Consent") the following actions in

connection with the Financing (i) the issuance of the common stock, no par value

connection with the transactions contemplated in the Securities Purchase

Agreement and the other Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities

Purchase Agreement), (ii) an amendment to the Articles of Incorporation of the

Company, providing for an increase in the authorized number of shares of Common

change of control (as defined in accordance with Nasdaq Marketplace Rule

4350(i)(I)(B)) (together, the "Shareholder Actions"). While such shareholder

certain information requirements (the "Information Requirements") to the

shareholders not party to the written consent pursuant to Section 607.0704 of

Exchange Act of 1934, as amended ("Regulation 14C").

to convert the Herrick Notes (as set forth on Exhibit A hereto) and a portion of

his Series A Preferred Stock (as set forth on Exhibit B hereto) into Common

Stock, and (ii) the Company is required to redeem the balance of Herrick's
