by a Securities Purchase Agreement dated on or around October 26, 2006, to be
effective as of September 26, 2006 (the “Prior Purchase Agreement”), XA sold the
Purchaser a fifteen month 11% Senior Secured Convertible Promissory Note, which
was later amended and replaced by a fifteen month 11% Senior Secured Convertible
Promissory Note, dated on or around October 26, 2006, to be effective as of
September 26, 2006 (the “Prior Notes”), in the amount of $100,000;

WHEREAS, XA recently sold an additional $25,000 in twelve month 11% Senior
Secured Convertible Promissory Notes on substantially similar terms as the Prior
Notes to the Purchaser (other than the maturity date thereof and other revisions
which were agreed by the Parties)(the “Follow On Notes”), in connection with the
sale of an aggregate of $450,000 in additional notes (the “Follow On Funding”);
and

WHEREAS, a negotiated term and provision of the Follow On Funding was the
amendment of the maturity date of the Prior Notes to be equal to the maturity
date of the Follow On Notes.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration for the promises and pledges contained below
and other good and valuable consideration, which consideration the Parties
acknowledge receipt of, and the premises and the mutual covenants, agreements,
and considerations herein contained, the Parties hereto agree as follows:

1.
AMENDMENT TO MATURITY DATE OF THE PRIOR NOTES.
     
XA and the Purchaser each individually agree to amend and replace the definition
of “Maturity Date” as defined in the introductory paragraph of the Prior Notes
to which they are a party, to June 11, 2008 (the “Amendment”). The Parties
further agree that any mention to the term Maturity Date in the Prior Notes
shall hereafter refer to June 11, 2008.
     
The Purchaser confirms that it received valid consideration from the sale of the
Follow On Notes and that the Amendment was a required term of such Follow On
Funding.
     
XA confirms that it will receive valid consideration from the Amendment.
