to issue a maximum of 10,000,000 Subject Shares under the Agreement.

This letter confirms the issuance of 5,000,000 Shares pursuant to the Amendment No. 1 and, in
exchange therefore and in full satisfaction and release of all of the parties obligations to one
another, Broadway hereby delivers and promises to pay, a promissory note in the amount of
$1,000,000 (the “Purchase Price”) to the Company, bearing simple interest at 4% per annum,
payable in five equal annual installments on September 15 of each year commencing 2006 (the
“Promissory Note”). The parties agree that the note shall be a recourse note against
Broadway and its members severally (not jointly an severally), in proportion to their individual
percentage equity in Broadway as set forth on Exhibit A hereto.

The parties also hereby agree that Broadway and the Company shall continue to extend the term of
Agreement a period of five (5) years, ending September 15, 2010. In consideration for the future
business development services to be rendered, the Company agrees to pay to Broadway the sum of
$200,000 per year, payable on each September 15th anniversary date of the Agreement, as
so extended. All consulting fees paid shall be non refundable for any partial year in which the
consulting term may be terminated. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the consulting term is
terminated early by Broadway for any reason, the Promissory Note shall remain outstanding and be
repayable in accordance with its terms to the extent not paid. The consulting agreement shall not
be terminated by the Company for any reason other then “cause” (which shall be defined and be
limited to fraud against the Company by Broadway or its members). If the consulting term is
terminated early by the Company without cause, the Promissory Note shall be discharged and deemed
to be paid in full, in which event neither Broadway nor any of its members shall have any further
liability to the Company. If the consulting term is terminated for cause, then Broadway’s members
shall each have the right, at their sole discretion, to either (i) pay their share of the
outstanding Promissory Note in accordance with its terms or (ii) return the percentage shares owned
as equals the percentage of the unpaid

portion of the Promissory Note for which such member is responsible or (iii) any combination of (i)
or (ii) above.

By your execution of this letter agreement, Broadway and each of its individual members are hereby
agreeing to accept the 5,000,000 Shares, to pay timely their pro-rata portion of the Promissory
Note tendered as the Purchase Price therefore and to extend the term of the Agreement and do hereby
waive all rights to receive any additional Subject Shares under the Agreement. By its execution of
this letter agreement and execution and delivery of the Promissory Note by Broadway and its members
the Company hereby covenants and agrees that all of such 5,000,000 Shares shall be deemed to have
been fully earned by Broadway and its members, are fully paid, duly authorized, validly issued and
non-assessable, and are not thereafter subject to forfeiture, cancellation or recoupment of any
kind.

We mutually agree and acknowledge that inasmuch as there is no United States market currently
available to Broadway for the Shares and that Broadway (or its members) may be required to hold the
Shares indefinitely, the value of the Shares to Broadway and its members may be substantially less
than $1,000,000.

In connection with the Agreement, the Company (a) has paid in full the $100,000 expense allowance
set forth in Section 3(a) of the Agreement, and (b) pay the Success Fee set forth in Section 3(b)
of the Agreement, if and to the extent earned in the future.

The certificates evidencing the 5,000,000 Shares shall be issued to the following members of
Broadway based on the percentage interest of such members as set forth below:

	(1)	 	David Eisenberg has the sole interest in receiving the expense allowance and any Success Fee
that may be earned in the future pursuant to Section 3(b) of the Agreement. The $100,000 expense
allowance has been earned, of which (a) $50,000 has been paid, and (b) the balance shall be payable
upon execution of this letter agreement.

All certificates evidencing the Shares shall contain the following restrictive legends:

The Shares evidenced by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933,
as amended (the “Act”), and may not be sold, pledged, transferred, hypothecated or assigned in the
absence of an effective registration statement under the Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory
to the Company that registration is not required under the Act.”

The members shall each be responsible to repay the Promissory Note and shall only be responsible
for, the amount that equals their respective percentage interests in Broadway as indicated above,
expressed as a decimal, multiplied by $1,000,000. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may,
at its discretion, pay its annual consideration under the Consulting Agreement either (i) in cash,
or (ii) by crediting the amount owed by Broadway and each of the members for the purchase of the
Shares, or (iii) in any combination of (i) or (ii) above, in each case, to the aggregate amount of
no less than $200,000 of cash payments and/or credits per year. The liability of the Members to
pay the purchase price shall be several based on their own percentage interests and not joint.

The Agreement may be terminated by the Company early without cause only in the event that it pays
the remaining amount of fees due under the term (or agrees to discharge the remaining amount of the
subscription receivable which is payable by Broadway and its members). Failure of the Company to
pay the amounts due under the Agreement shall be, without limitation, an affirmative defense of
Broadway or its members to non-payment of the Promissory Note.

In the event that the Company registers shares of its common stock for resale on behalf of any
other existing selling security holders in its contemplated initial U.S. public offering pursuant
to a Form SB-2 registration statement to be filed under the Act, the Company agrees to include the
Shares in such registration statement and shall use its best efforts to cause such registration
statement to be declared effective; provided, that if required by the managing underwriter of the
Company’s initial U.S. public offering, the members of Broadway shall execute and deliver
appropriate lock up agreements on terms and conditions no less favorable to the Broadway members
than those imposed on any other selling security holder whose shares are being registered for
resale in such registration statement.
