in this Agreement, the Company shall issue 200,000 restricted
shares of common stock to BridgePointe and 200,000 restricted
shares of common stock, in the aggregate, to the Enable Funds

provisions for these issuances.
2. Increase in
Authorized Shares . In addition to any existing
obligations of the Company under the Transaction Documents (as
defined in the Securities Purchase Agreements, respectively), the
Company shall hold a shareholders meeting and put before the
shareholders a proposal to increase authorized shares from
125,000,000 to 250,000,000, following the requirements set forth in
the Company’s by-laws, within 9 months from the date of this
agreement. The Company shall use its best efforts to obtain
stockholder approval of an increase in such authorized number of
shares. Should the available amount of authorized,
unissued and unreserved shares fall below 5,000,000 then the
Company shall accelerate these efforts and put the proposal before
the shareholders within 90 days from such date of said
event.
3. Confirmation of
Outstanding Principal Amounts of the Debentures
. The Company and the Holders acknowledge that the
outstanding principal amounts of the respective September 2007
Convertible Debentures and May 2008 Convertible Debentures, as of
January 1, 2009, are as set forth in Schedule
“A” hereto.
4. Adjustment to
Conversion Price of the Debentures . The definition
of “ Conversion Price ” in Section 4(b) of each
of the Debentures is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety
with the following:
“
Conversion Price . The conversion price in effect

Section
2 “ Interest

language as a new paragraph to the end of subsection (a) of such
Section 2 as follows:
Payment
of Interest Due January 1, 2009 through July 1, 2009
. For purposes
hereof, “Monthly Interest Payment Date” shall mean the
first trading day of each calendar month, beginning on March 1,
2009. Notwithstanding the above, no interest payment
shall be due on January 1, 2009. Commencing on March 1,
2009, through and including July 1, 2009 (the “Monthly
Interest Payment Period”), the Company shall pay all accrued
and unpaid interest to the Holder on each Monthly Interest Payment
Date. Each payment of interest during the Monthly
Interest Payment Period shall be made in duly authorized, validly
issued, fully paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock, which
shall not contain any restrictive legends, at the conversion rate
of rate of $0.40 per share (the dollar amount to be paid in shares,

provided , however , that payment of interest in
shares of Common Stock during the Monthly Interest Payment Period
may occur only if (i) the average daily trading volume for the
twenty (20) trading days immediately preceding the applicable
Monthly Interest Payment Date exceeds $15,000 (ii) the average of
the VWAPs for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding
the applicable Monthly Interest Payment Date, equals or exceeds
$0.40 and (iii) the Interest Payment Shares are freely tradeable
without volume limitations under Rule 144(d)(i)(1). If
any one or more of the above conditions are not satisfied, then the
interest amounts otherwise due on such Monthly Interest Payment
Date shall be added to the principal balances of the
Debentures. If the conditions are met for payment of the
interest in shares during the Monthly Interest Payment Period, the
appropriate number of shares are to be issued by the Company and
delivered to the Holder’s account with The Depository Trust
Company on the applicable Monthly Interest Payment
Date. The Holders agree that such issuances of
stock for the payment of interest shall not cause a further reset
in the conversion price of the Debentures or the related warrants
and waive the reset provisions for these issuances.
If the
company does not meet the conditions to pay interest in stock, and
interest amounts otherwise due are added to the principal amount of
the Debenture, the Company shall, within one (1) business day of
the interest payment date either (i) deliver a new Debenture
reflecting the increased principal amount or (ii) deliver an
officer’s certificate, signed by an authorized officer of the
Company, to each Holder confirming the new principal amount of the
Holder’s Debenture (and the Debenture Holders’ records
shall be controlling with respect to the determination of the
principal amount of the Debenture, absent manifest
error).
Commencing
on August 1, 2009 and thereafter, the Company shall once again pay
interest quarterly on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1
in accordance with the first paragraph of Section 2(a)
above.
