              h.  
      Sections 4.2(a) and 4.2(b) shall be deleted in their entirety and replaced
      with the following Section 4.2: “Final Closing. On the Final Closing Date,
      subject to the terms and conditions hereof (including, without limitation
      Section 5) and in reliance upon the representations and warranties of the
      Issuer contained herein and in the other Operative Documents, the
      Purchasers shall purchase and the Issuer shall sell Notes in an aggregate
      principal amount of $4,000,000 (such purchase and sale the “Final
      Closing”). On the Final Closing Date, each Purchaser will purchase
      from the Issuer, at the applicable Purchase Price, Notes for the principal
      amount and with the registration numbers set forth next to each

              request) in the form of Annex D
      to this Second Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement, dated such
      Final Closing Date and registered in such Purchaser’s name (or in the name
      of its nominee), against delivery by such Purchaser to the Issuer or its
      order of immediately available funds in the amount of the Purchase Price
      therefor by wire transfer of immediately available funds for the account
      of the Issuer as designated by
it.”

            

    

    

    
      	
               
      

            	
              i.  
      Section 4.4 shall be deleted in its entirety and replaced with the
      following Section 4.4: “On the last day of each month, commencing on May
      31, 2007 and ending on June 30, 2008, the Issuer shall pay to the
      Purchasers ratably in accordance with their respective Commitment
      Percentages in immediately available funds a fee (herein called an “Unused
      Commitment Fee”) on the amount, if any, by which (i) the Average
      Principal Balance during such month is less than (ii) $14,000,000, at the
      rate of 0.50% per annum, calculated on the basis of a year of 360 days for
      the actual number of days elapsed. The Unused Commitment Fee shall be paid
      to each Purchaser in accordance with the payment instructions provided for
      on Schedule
      I.” For the avoidance of doubt the “June 30, 2008” date in this
      Section is meant to supersede the “July 31, 2008” date in the First
      Amendment to the Securities Purchase Agreement as it applies to Section
      4.4 of the Agreement.

      Agreement,” by replacing “171,473” with “81,224,” by replacing “10%” with
      “5%,” and by replacing “Initial Closing” with “Final
    Closing.”

Common Stock in the amount set forth next to each Purchaser’s name in Annex F to
this Second Amendment. Upon receipt of the Amended and Restated Warrants, the
Purchasers will deliver the outstanding Warrants originally issued under the

    4.  
Commitment Fee. The Purchasers agree to refund $85,750 of the Unused Commitment

pay the Purchasers’ legal fees in connection with the Final Closing or any
transaction that antedates the Final Closing, including but not limited to the
First and Second Amendments to the Agreement, the Purchasers hereby waive their
rights to such payment or reimbursement. The Purchasers do not waive any rights

Final Closing or transactions that antedate the Final Closing or (ii) to
payment, compensation or reimbursement of costs, fees, expenses or disbursements
in connection with transactions, amendments or waivers that postdate this
Amendment or the Final Closing. The Purchasers confirm that there are no accrued
and unpaid legal fees owed by the Issuer to any Purchaser.

    

    7.   Continuing
Effect. All other provisions of the Agreement that are not expressly amended or
waived in this Amendment or the First Amendment to the Securities Purchase
Agreement (attached as Annex C hereto) shall remain unchanged and in full force
and effect in accordance with their terms.

    

    8.   Reservation of
Rights. Subject to the amendments contained herein or in the First Amendment to
the Securities Purchase Agreement, nothing herein shall be construed to
constitute a waiver of the rights of any Party under the Agreement with respect
to Events of Default that may have occurred under the Agreement or any other
Operative Document or may from time to time occur after the date hereof. The
Purchasers hereby reserve the right to exercise from time to time any additional
rights, powers or privileges and/or remedies the Purchasers have and/or to which
the Purchasers are entitled to under the Agreement or under any other Operative
Document. Neither this Amendment nor the First Amendment to the Securities
Purchase Agreement constitute a waiver of any right, power or privilege that the
Purchasers are entitled to exercise as a result of such other Event of Default
under the Agreement, any Operative Document or otherwise.

    

    9.   Governing Law;
Jurisdiction; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Amendment shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the domestic substantive laws of the State of
New York without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicts of law
provision or rule that would cause the application of the domestic substantive
laws of any other jurisdiction. The Issuer, to the extent that it may lawfully
do so, hereby consents to service of process, and to be sued, in the State of
New York and consents to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of New York
and the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, as
well as to the jurisdiction of all courts to which an appeal may be taken from
such courts, for the purpose of any suit, action or other proceeding arising out
of any of its obligations hereunder or thereunder or with respect to the
transactions contemplated hereby or thereby, and expressly waives any and all
objections it may have as to venue in any such courts. The Issuer further agrees
that a summons and complaint commencing an action or proceeding in any of such
courts shall be properly served and shall confer personal jurisdiction if served
personally or by certified mail to it at its address referred to in Section 21
of the Agreement or as otherwise provided under the laws of the State of New
York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Issuer agrees that nothing contained in
this Section 9 shall preclude the institution of any such suit, action or other
proceeding in any jurisdiction other than the State of New York. THE ISSUER
IRREVOCABLY WAVES ALL RIGHT TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY SUIT, ACTION OR OTHER
PROCEEDING INSTITUTED BY OR AGAINST IT IN RESPECT OF ITS OBLIGATIONS HEREUNDER
OR UNDER ANY OTHER OPERATIVE DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY OR
THEREBY.
