into by or on behalf of the Company, other than Drexel Hamilton, LLC, who the
Company has engaged to act as the placement agent for the offering of the Shares
and Warrants (which fees are being paid by the Company).”
 
Upon the execution of this letter agreement by each of the undersigned, the
Purchase Agreement shall be deemed amended to the extent set forth herein.  All

agreement to amend the Purchase Agreement and is intended to be a complete and
exclusive statement of our agreement and understanding with respect to such
