and
WHEREAS, certain Events of Defaults (as defined
under the Debentures) as set forth on Annex A attached
hereto have occurred and continue to occur on and prior
to the date hereof (“ Existing Defaults ”);
and

to waive the Existing Defaults for the consideration granted by the
Company to the Holders as set forth hereunder.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, each Holder hereby agrees as follows:

Waiver . Subject to the terms and conditions
hereunder, each Holder hereby waives its right to exercise or
enforce its rights under the Transaction Documents, including the
Debentures, solely on account of the Existing Defaults as they
exist on the date hereof provided that this waiver shall not apply
to any future Events of Default that may occur after the date
hereof or prior existing Events of Default that are not included as
Existing Defaults, whether known or unknown to the Company as of
the date hereof. Additionally, each Holder hereby agrees
to waive any late fees, increased interest or liquidated damages
that have accrued prior to the date hereof provided that this
waiver shall not apply to any future late fees, increased interest
or liquidated damages that may occur after the date

Amendments and other Agreements .
(a)
Amended and Exchanged Debentures and Warrants
. The Company hereby agrees to issue each Holder an
amended and restated Debenture, in the form of Exhibit A
attached hereto (the “ Amended and Exchanged
Debenture(s) ”) with a principal amount equal to the
principal amount of such Holder’s current Debenture plus any
accrued but unpaid interest as of the date hereof and any future
interest to be accrued on and before April 1, 2010 and accrued but
unpaid liquidated damages, if any, as set forth on Annex B
and an amended and restated warrant, in the form of Exhibit
B attached hereto (“ Amended and Exchanged
Warrant(s) ”). Other than as amended
thereunder, the rights and obligations of the Holders and of the
Company with respect to the Amended and Exchanged Debentures, the
Amended and Exchanged Warrants and any securities underlying such
securities (including the replacement common stock purchase
warrants issuable pursuant to the Amended and Exchange Warrants)
shall be identical in all respects to the rights and obligations of
the Holders and of the Company with respect to the Debentures, the
Warrants and the Underlying Shares issued and issuable pursuant to
the Purchase Agreements. For clarity, the Purchase
Agreements and all Transaction Documents thereunder are hereby
amended so that the term “Debentures” includes the
Amended and Exchanged Debentures, the term “Warrants”
includes the Amended and Exchanged Warrants (and common stock
purchase warrants issued thereunder) and the term “Underlying
Shares” includes the shares of Common Stock issuable upon
conversion and issuance thereof, and the term “Transaction

Amended and Exchanged Warrants are being issued in substitution for
and not in satisfaction of the Debentures and Warrants, as
applicable; provided , however , the Holder
acknowledges and agrees that upon the issuance and acceptance of
the certificate evidencing its Amended and Exchanged Debenture and
Amended and Exchanged Warrants issued pursuant to this Section, the
original certificate evidencing its Debenture and Warrants will be
deemed cancelled.

thereto, including the issuance and exercise of an replacement
common stock purchase warrants issuable thereunder, are here deemed
to be an “Exempt Issuance” under the Purchase Agreement

Warrants, Amended and Exchanged Debentures or the Amended and
Exchanged Warrants pursuant to the anti-dilution provisions
thereunder solely as a result of such issuances. For

agreements (or any Transaction Documents), the failure of a Holder
to respond in writing within 5 Trading Days shall be deemed for
such purposes an irrevocable affirmative election by such
