Company has agreed to issue the Additional Warrant (as defined below) to Laurus; 
  
 WHEREAS, the Company and Laurus have agreed to make certain changes to the Term Note, the Registration Rights Agreement and the Original Warrant as set forth herein; and 
  
 NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above, and for other good and

time to time, the “Additional Warrant”) 
  
 3.

“Agreement Effective Date”) on the date when (i) each of the Company and Laurus shall have executed and the Company shall have delivered to Laurus its respective counterpart to this Agreement and (ii) the Company shall have executed
and delivered to Laurus the Additional Warrant. 
  
 5. The
Additional Warrant and the shares of Common Stock underlying the Additional Warrant shall not be deemed an issuance of additional securities under Section 3.4(b)(C) of the Term Note. 
  
 6. Section 3.2 of the Term Note shall be amended to read in full as follows: 
  
 “3.2 Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Note an amount that would be convertible into that number of shares of Common Stock which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise beneficially
owned by such Holder including those issuable upon exercise of warrants held by such Holder would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Borrower at the time of conversion. For the purposes of the immediately preceding
sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The conversion limitation described in the first sentence of this Section 3.2 shall automatically become null
and void without any notice to Borrower upon the occurrence and during the continuance beyond any applicable grace period of an Event of Default, or upon 75 days prior notice to the Borrower. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the
contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), the Warrant issued to the Holder on
May 5, 2005 (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Additional Warrant”) or any Related Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) at a weighted average issue price of below $0.47 taking into account all
such issuances, shall not exceed an aggregate of 6,491,440 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the
“Maximum Common Stock Issuance”), unless the issuance of shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to time the
number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant, the Additional Warrant or any Related Agreement, together with the number of shares of Common Stock that would then be issuable by the
Borrower to the Holder in the event of a conversion or exercise pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Warrant, the Additional Warrant or any Related Agreement, would exceed the Maximum Common Stock Issuance but for this
Section 3.2, the Borrower shall promptly call a shareholders meeting to solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance.”

 7. Section 10 of the Original Warrant shall be amended to read in full as follows: 
  
 “10. Maximum Exercise. Notwithstanding anything contained herein
to the contrary, the Holder shall not be entitled to convert pursuant to the terms of this Warrant an amount that would be convertible into that number of shares of Common Stock which, when added to the number of shares of Common Stock otherwise
beneficially owned by such Holder including those issuable upon exercise of warrants held by such Holder would exceed 4.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company at the time of conversion. For the purposes of the immediately
preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act and Regulation 13d-3 thereunder. The conversion limitation described in the first sentence of this paragraph 10 shall automatically
become null and void without any notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance beyond any applicable grace period of an Event of Default, or upon 75 days prior notice to the Company, except that at no time shall the beneficial
ownership exceed 19.99% of the Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Note made by
the Company to the Holder dated the date hereof (as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Note”), the Purchase Agreement (as defined in the Note), the Warrant issued to the Holder on May 5, 2005 (as amended,
modified or supplemented from time to time, the “Additional Warrant”) or any Related Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) at a weighted average issue price of below $0.47 taking into account all such issuances, shall not
exceed an aggregate of 6,491,440 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Maximum Common Stock
Issuance”), unless the issuance of shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to time the number of shares of Common
Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Additional Warrant or any Related Agreement, together with the number of shares of Common Stock that would then be issuable by the Company to the Holder in the
event of a conversion or exercise pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Note, the Purchase Agreement, the Additional Warrant or any Related Agreement, would exceed the Maximum Common Stock Issuance but for this paragraph, the Company shall
promptly call a shareholders meeting to solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance.” 
  
 8. Except as specifically set forth in this Agreement, there are no other amendments, modifications or waivers to the Loan
Documents, and all of the other forms, terms and provisions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect. 
  
 9. The Company hereby represents and warrants to Laurus that (i) no Event of Default (as defined in the Term Note) exists on the date hereof, after giving
effect to this Agreement, (ii) on the date hereof, after giving effect to this Agreement, all representations, warranties and covenants made by the Company in connection with the Loan Documents are true, correct and complete except for any changes

successors and permitted assigns. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY THE LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an
