THEREFORE, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 

        1.    Amendment.    Section 6(b) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as
follows: 

"6.    Company Registration. 

        (b)    Underwriting.    If the registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public offering
involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to Section 6(a)(i). In such event the right of any Holder to registration
pursuant to Section 6 shall be conditioned upon such Holder's participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder's Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent
provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company and the Other Shareholders distributing their 

securities
through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the Underwriter selected for underwriting by the Company. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Section 6, if the Underwriter in its sole discretion advises the Company in writing that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of shares to be underwritten, then (a) if
such registration is the first registered offering of the Company's securities to the public, the Company may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) exclude from such registration and
underwriting some or all of the Registrable Securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant hereto; (b) if such registration is the second registered offering of the
Company's securities to the public and occurs on or prior to September 30, 2006, Other Shareholders, holders of vested Company options and shareholders who otherwise do not hold registration
rights pursuant to this Agreement each of whom is then designated by the Company as currently an officer, director, employee or consultant of the Company (the "Additional
Shareholders") and Holders of Regsitrable Securities shall be able to participate in such offering on the following basis: (i) Additional Shareholders shall be able to
participate up to an aggregate maximum of 950,000 shares and (ii) Holders of Registrable Securities shall be able to include a number of Registrable Securities in such offering equal to the
balance of shares entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting by persons other than the Company, including the underwriters over-allotment, if any;  provided, however, that
the Additional Shareholders may take less than their proportional interest (or the Company may exclude from such registration
and underwriting some or all of the shares of Company Common Stock that the Additional Shareholders may elect to sell other than their shares of Registrable Securities if any) and in no event will the
holders of Registrable Securities be limited in their right to sell Registrable Securities equal to less than one-fourth (1/4) of the total number of shares to be sold by
the Company in such offering; and (c) if such registration is other than the first or second registered offering of the sale of the Company's securities to the public,
the Company may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) limit the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration and underwriting to not less than
twenty-five percent (25%) of the total number of shares of stock of the Company to be included therein. The Company shall so advise all holders of securities requesting registration, and
the number of shares of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting by persons other than the Company pursuant to clause (a) or (c) above shall be
allocated in the following priority: first, to Holders of Registrable Securities (other than Founder) (and pro rata among such Holders on the basis of all Registrable Securities then held by such
Holders); second, to Founder; and third, among all Other Shareholders in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of securities which they had requested to be included in such
registration at the time of filing the registration statement. If any Holder or Other Shareholder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he may elect to withdraw therefrom by written
notice to the Company and the Underwriter. Any Registrable Securities or other securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be withdrawn from such registration." 

        2.    Governing Law.    This Amendment shall be governed by and interpreted under the laws of the State of California,
without regard to its choice of law provisions. 

        3.    Severability.    In the event that any provision of this Amendment becomes or is declared by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be illegal, unenforceable or void, this Amendment shall continue in full force and effect without said provision, provided that no such severability shall be effective if it
materially changes the economic benefit of this Amendment to either Party. 

        4.    Modification.    With the written consent of the record or beneficial holders of at least two-thirds
(2/3) of the Registrable Securities (excluding any shares held by the Founder), the rights and obligations of the Company and the holders of Registrable Securities under this Amendment
may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively, and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely), and with the same consent, the Company,
when authorized by resolution of its Board of Directors, may enter into a supplementary agreement for the purpose of adding any provisions to or changing in any manner or eliminating any of the
provisions of this 

Amendment;  provided, however, that no such modification, amendment or waiver shall reduce the percentage
of Registrable Securities required to consent to a waiver as set forth in this Section 4 without the consent of all of the Purchasers of the Registrable Securities. 

        5.    Counterparts.    This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be declared an original,
but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

After the expiration of the Revolving Period, the Borrower shall not be entitled to receive any further Advance.

The Notes shall bear interest from the date thereof through maturity (whether by acceleration or otherwise) on the unpaid principal balance thereof from time to time outstanding at the Interest Rate and shall be payable as set forth in Section 2.8 hereof.

From and after the Due Date, interest shall accrue on the unpaid principal balance of the Loans and on all accrued but unpaid interest thereon, or on such defaulted payment, at the Default Rate from and after the date that the Borrower has been notified in writing that an Event of Default has occurred.  Such interest shall continue to accrue until the date of payment in full of all principal and accrued but unpaid interest of such defaulted payment, if applicable.

SECTION 2.4  Prepayment of the Loans.  The Borrower shall have the right at any time and from time to time to prepay any Loan or Advance, in whole or in part, without premium or penalty, by giving irrevocable written notice (or telephonic notice promptly confirmed in writing) to the Bank no later than 11:00 a.m. not less than two (2) Business Days prior to any such prepayment; provided that there shall exist no Default.  Each such notice shall be irrevocable and shall specify the proposed date of such prepayment and the principal amount of each Loan or portion thereof to be prepaid.

The Bank and the Borrower intend and agree that under no circumstance shall the Borrower be required to pay interest on the Loan or on any other Obligations at a rate in excess of the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law from time to time, and in the event any such interest is received or charged by the Bank in excess of that rate, the Borrower shall be entitled to an immediate refund of any such excess interest by a credit to and payment toward the unpaid balance of the Loan (such credit to be considered to have been made at the time of the payment of the excess interest) with any excess interest not so credited to be immediately paid to the Borrower by the Bank.

(b)

Term Note.  The Borrower shall pay the Term Note as follows:

(ii)

Maturity Date.  On the Maturity Date, all outstanding principal, together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon, shall become due and payable in full.

SECTION 2.9  Application of Payments.

SECTION 2.10  Late Charges. If any Loan payment is not made within ten (10) Days after the Due Date, then, in that event, there shall also be paid to the Bank, a late charge equal to five percent (5%) of the payment that is due on the Due Date and not paid. The purpose of such late charge shall be to reimburse the Bank for its costs and expenses in connection with servicing a delinquent account.

SECTION 2.11  Determination of Interest Rate.  As soon as practicable after 11:00 A.M. Orlando, Florida time, on the Interest Rate Determination Date, Bank shall determine (which determination shall, absent manifest error, be final, conclusive and binding upon all parties) the Interest Rate which shall apply to the Loan for the applicable Interest Period and shall promptly give notice thereof (in writing or by telephone confirmed in writing) to the Borrower.

SECTION 2.12  Non-Usage Fee.  The Borrower shall pay to the Bank a Non-Usage Fee in the amount of fifteen basis points (0.15%) per annum on the average unused portion of the Revolving Loan, payable quarterly, in arrears.  Such fee shall accrue from the date of this Agreement until the Bank's obligations to advance funds under the Loan pursuant to this Agreement are terminated.

SECTION 2.13  Funding Indemnity.

Such loss, cost or expense shall be deemed to include an amount determined by the Bank to be the excess, if any, of (A) the amount of interest that would have accrued on the principal amount of such Loan or Advance if such event had not occurred at the Adjusted LIBOR applicable to such Loan or Advance for the period from the date of such event to the last day of the then current Interest Period therefor (or in the case of a failure to borrow, convert or continue, for the period that would have been the Interest Period for such Loan or Advance) over (B) the amount of interest that would accrue on the principal amount of such Loan or Advance for the same period if the Adjusted LIBOR were set on the date such Loan or Advance was prepaid or the date on which the Borrower failed to borrow such Loan or Advance. A certificate as to any additional amount payable under this Section 2.13 submitted to the Borrower by the Bank shall be conclusive, absent manifest error.

SECTION 2.14  Extension of Commitment Termination Date.  The Bank may, in its sole and absolute discretion, agree to extend the Commitment Termination Date for an additional 364-Day period, upon the written request of the Borrower, given to the Bank at least thirty (30) Days prior to the then current Commitment Expiration Date.  The Bank shall advise the Borrower in writing no later than ten (10) Days prior to the then current Commitment Termination Date of its decision to extend the Commitment Termination Date. Failure of the Bank to so notify the Borrower by such date shall be deemed to be a decision on the part of the Bank not to so extend the Commitment Termination Date.

SECTION 2.15  Additional Costs.  In the event that any applicable law or regulation or the interpretation or administration thereof by any governmental authority charged with the interpretation or administration thereof (whether or not having the force of law) (i) shall change the basis of taxation of payments to the Bank of any amounts payable by the Borrower hereunder (other than taxes imposed on the overall net income of the Bank) or (ii) shall impose, modify or deem applicable any reserve, special deposit or similar requirement against assets of, deposits with or for the account of, or credit extended by the Bank, or (iii) shall impose any other condition with respect to the Loans, and the result of any of the foregoing is to increase the cost to the Bank of making or maintaining the Loans or to reduce any amount receivable by the Bank hereunder, and the Bank determines that such increased costs or reduction in amount receivable was attributable to the LIBOR rate basis used to establish the interest rate hereunder, then the Borrower shall from time to time, upon demand by the Bank, pay to the Bank within ten (10) Banking Days after the date of such notice and demand, additional amounts sufficient to compensate the Bank for such increased costs (the "Additional Costs").  A detailed statement as to the amount of such Additional Costs, prepared in good faith and submitted to the Borrower by the Bank, shall be conclusive and binding in the absence of manifest error.  Failure or delay on the part of the Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank's right to demand such compensation.

SECTION 2.16  Capital Adequacy.  If the Bank shall have determined that on or after the date of this Agreement any Change in Law regarding capital requirements has or would have the effect of reducing the rate of return on the Bank's capital (or on the capital of the Bank's parent corporation) as a consequence of its obligations hereunder to a level below that which the Bank or the Bank's parent corporation could have achieved but for such Change in Law (taking into consideration the Bank's policies or the policies of the Bank's parent corporation with respect to capital adequacy) then, from time to time, within ten (10) Banking Days after receipt by the Borrower of written demand by the Bank, the Borrower shall pay to the Bank such additional amounts as will compensate the Bank or the Bank's parent corporation for any such reduction suffered.  A certificate of the Bank setting forth the amount or amounts necessary to compensate the Bank or the Bank's parent corporation, as the case may be, shall be delivered to the Borrower and shall be conclusive and binding, absent manifest error.  Failure or delay on the part of the Bank to demand compensation pursuant to this Section shall not constitute a waiver of the Bank's right to demand such compensation.

SECTION 2.17  Illegality or Unavailability of Dollar Deposits.  If the Bank determines in its sole and absolute discretion at any time (the "Determination Date") that it can no longer make, fund or maintain LIBOR based loans for any reason, including without limitation illegality, or the LIBOR rate cannot be ascertained or does not accurately reflect the Bank's cost of funds, or the Bank would be subject to Additional Costs that cannot be recovered from the Borrower, then the Bank will notify the Borrower and thereafter will have no obligation to make, fund or maintain LIBOR based loans.  Upon such Determination Date, any Loan with a LIBOR based interest rate will be converted to a variable rate loan based upon the Bank's "prime rate".  Thereafter the interest rate on any such Loan shall adjust simultaneously with any fluctuation in the prime rate. The Bank's "prime rate" shall be its publicly announced prime lending rate from time to time in effect, which rate may not be the lowest or best lending rate made available by the Bank.

SECTION 2.18  Taxes.  

(a)

Any and all payments by or on account of any obligation of the Borrower hereunder shall be made free and clear of and without deduction for any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes; provided, that if the Borrower shall be required to deduct any Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes from such payments, then (i) the sum payable shall be increased as necessary so that after making all required deductions (including deductions applicable to additional sums payable under this Section) the Bank shall receive an amount equal to the sum it would have received had no such deductions been made, (ii) the Borrower shall make such deductions and (iii) the Borrower shall pay the full amount deducted to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

(b)

In addition, the Borrower shall pay any Other Taxes to the relevant Governmental Authority in accordance with applicable law.

A certificate as to the amount of such payment or liability delivered to the Borrower by a the Bank shall be conclusive absent manifest error.

(d)

As soon as practicable after any payment of Indemnified Taxes or Other Taxes by the Borrower to a Governmental Authority, the Borrower shall deliver to the Bank the original or a certified copy of a receipt issued by such Governmental Authority evidencing such payment, a copy of the return reporting such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to the Bank.
