The   Company or the Purchaser, as applicable, shall deliver to the Stockholder at   the closing the full purchase price payable for the Offered Shares by means   of a cashier’s check, certified check, or wire transfer and documents   containing such acknowledgments, representations, and agreements that counsel   for the Company may reasonably require in order for the transfer to comply   with applicable federal and state
securities laws.  The Stockholder shall deliver to the purchasers certificates   representing the Offered Shares, if any, duly endorsed in blank for transfer   or with duly executed blank stock powers attached, together with such other   documents as may be necessary or appropriate, in the reasonable opinion of   counsel for the purchasers, to effectuate the transfer to the Company or   Purchaser, as applicable.

ARTICLE III

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

	
  
3.1
  	
  
Demand Registration Rights.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(a)
  	
  
Subject to   the conditions of Section 3.1(b) below, from and after the date   hereof, the Series D Holders may make two (2) demands on the Company to   register all or a portion of the Registrable Securities on Form S-1 or such   other form that may be available to the Company (each such registration being   referred to as a “Demand Registration”).
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(b)
  	
  
If the   Company receives from Series D Holders representing at least twenty percent   (20%) of the Registrable Securities, a written request that the Company   effect a Demand Registration with respect to all or a part of the Registrable   Securities, the Company shall:
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
(i)
  	
  
promptly   give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Series D   Holders; and
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
(ii)
  	
  
as soon as   practicable, use its best efforts to effect such registration (including,   without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective   amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other   state securities laws, and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations   issued under the Securities Act) as may be so requested and as would permit   or facilitate the sale and distribution of such portion of such Registrable   Securities as is specified in such request, together with such portion of the   Registrable Securities of all other Series D Holders joining in such request   as is specified in a written request given within twenty (20) days after   receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that if the Company shall furnish   to each such Series D Holder a certificate signed by the President of the   Company stating that in the good-faith judgment of the Board of Directors

of   the Company it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its   stockholders for such registration statement to be filed and it is therefore   essential to defer the filing of such registration statement, the Company   shall have the right, exercisable not more than once during any twelve (12)   month period, to defer such filing ninety (90) days after receipt of the   initial request of such Series D Holders.
  

7

	
  
 
  	
  
(c)
  	
  
If the   Series D Holders intend to distribute the Registrable Securities covered by   their request by means of an underwriting, they shall so advise the Company   as a part of their request made pursuant to Section 3.1(b), and the   Company shall include such information in the written notice referred to in Section   3.1(b)(i) hereof.  The right of   any Series D Holder to registration pursuant to this Section 3.1   shall be conditioned upon such Series D Holder’s participation in such   underwriting and the inclusion of such Series D Holder’s Registrable   Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein.  The Company shall (together with each such   participating Series D Holder) enter into an underwriting agreement in   customary form and containing customary terms reasonably acceptable to the   participating Series D Holders, with the representative of the underwriter or   underwriters selected for
such underwriting by the Company and reasonably   acceptable to the participating Series D Holders; provided, however,   that if the Company has not selected an underwriter reasonably acceptable to   the participating Series D Holders within thirty (30) days after the   Company’s receipt of the request for registration from such Series D Holders,   then such participating Series D Holders may select an underwriter reasonably   acceptable to the Company in connection with such registration.  Notwithstanding any other provision of   this Section 3.1, if the underwriter representative advises such   Series D Holders in writing that marketing factors require a limitation of   the number of Registrable Securities to be underwritten, such number of   Registrable Securities shall be excluded from such registration, pro rata, to   the extent so required by such limitation.    If any participating Series D Holder disapproves of the terms of the   underwriting, he, she or it
may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice   to the Company, the underwriter and the other participating Series D   Holders.  The Securities so withdrawn   shall also be withdrawn from registration.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
3.2
  	
  
Company Registration.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(a)
  	
  
If the   Company shall determine to register any of its securities in connection with   the public offering of such securities solely for cash on a form that would   permit the registration of the Conversion Shares or the Shares held by the   Bogatin Holders or the Company files a Demand Registration pursuant to Section   3.1 or registration statement on Form S-3 pursuant to Section 3.3,   the Company shall promptly give to each Series D Holder and Bogatin Holder   written notice of such proposed registration (each such registration being   referred to herein as a “Piggyback Registration”), which shall   include a list of the jurisdictions in which the Company intends to attempt   to qualify such securities under the applicable blue sky or other state   securities laws.  The Company shall   include in such registration (and any related qualification under blue sky   laws or other compliance), and in any underwriting involved
therein:
  

8

	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
(i)
  	
  
all the   Conversion Shares specified in a written request, or requests, made by the   Series D Holders within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice   from the Company, subject to the underwriter limitations, if any, described   in Section 3.2(d) hereof; provided, however, that, in   the case of a Piggyback Registration, the number of Conversion Shares that   any Series D Holder may include in any such registration shall not exceed the   product of (A) the total number of Conversion Shares then held by such Series   D Holder multiplied by (B) a fraction, the numerator of which is the total number   of Conversion Shares then held by the Series D Holder and the denominator of   which is (x) the total number of Shares then held by the Bogatin Holders plus   (y) the total number of Conversion Shares then held by all Series D Holders;   and provided, further, that no Conversion Shares shall be   included in any
registration under this Agreement unless such Conversion   Shares shall have been first converted to Common Stock, if necessary; and
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
(ii)
  	
  
all the   Shares specified in a written request, or requests, made by the Bogatin   Holders within twenty (20) days after receipt of such written notice from the   Company, subject to the underwriter limitations, if any, described in Section   3.2(d) hereof; provided, however, (A) in the case of a   Piggyback Registration, that the number of Shares that any Bogatin Holder may   include in any such registration shall not exceed the product of (X) the   total number of Shares then held by such Bogatin Holder multiplied by (Y) a   fraction, the numerator of which is the total number of Shares then held by   such Bogatin Holder and the denominator of which is (I) the total number of   Shares then held by all Bogatin Holders plus (II) the total number of   Conversion Shares then held by all Series D Holder and (B) in the case of a   Demand Registration or a registration statement filed on Form S-3 in   accordance with Section 3.3 after all
Conversion Shares required to be   included under Section 3.1 or Section 3.3 are included, the   number of Shares that any Bogatin Holder may include in any registration   shall not exceed (x) the total number of Shares then held by such Bogatin   Holder multiplied by (y) a fraction, the number of which is the total number   of Shares held by such Bogatin Holder and the denominator of which is the   total number of Shares held by all Bogatin Holders plus the total number of   shares of Common Stock requested to be included by all other selling   securityholders (other than Series D Holders) which have the right to be   included in such registration statement; and provided, further,   that no Shares shall be included in any registration under this Agreement   unless such Shares shall have been first exercised for, or otherwise   converted to, Common Stock, if necessary.
  

9

	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
The Company   shall have the right to withdraw or cease to prepare or file any registration   statement for any offering referred to in this Section 3.2 without any   obligation or liability to the Series D Holders or the Bogatin Holders.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(b)
  	
  
Subject to   the underwriter limitations, if any, described in Section 3.2(d)   below, the Series D Holders and the Bogatin Holders shall be entitled to have   their respective Conversion Shares and Shares included in an unlimited number   of Piggyback Registrations pursuant to this Section 3.2.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(c)
  	
  
If the   Company has previously filed a registration statement with respect to   Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 3.1, or pursuant to this Section   3.2, and if such previous registration has not been withdrawn or   abandoned, the Company will not file or cause to be effected any other   registration of any of its equity securities or securities convertible or   exchangeable into or exercisable for its equity securities under the   Securities Act (except on Form S-4, Form S-8 or any respective successor   forms) until a period of one hundred eighty (180) days has elapsed from the   effective date of such a previous registration.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(d)
  	
  
If the   registration of which the Company gives notice is for a registered public   offering involving an underwriting, the Company shall so advise the Series D   Holders and Bogatin Holders as a part of the written notice given pursuant to   Section 3.2(a) hereof.  In such   event the respective rights of the Series D Holders and Bogatin Holders to   registration pursuant to Section 3.2(a) shall be conditioned upon   their participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of their   Conversion Shares or Shares, as applicable, in the underwriting to the extent   provided herein.  If any Series D   Holder or Bogatin Holder proposes to distribute his, her or its Conversion   Shares or Shares, respectively, through such underwriting (together with the   Company) he, she or it shall enter into an underwriting agreement in   customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for underwriting   by the Company.  Notwithstanding
any   other provision of this Section 3.2, if the underwriter reasonably   determines that marketing factors require a limitation on the number of   shares to be underwritten, the number of shares that may be included in the   registration shall be allocated among the Series D Holders and Bogatin   Holders, as nearly as practicable, to the respective amounts of Conversion   Shares and Shares that each Series D Holder and Bogatin Holder had requested   to be included, and which were otherwise includable, in such registration.  The Company shall advise the Series D   Holders and Bogatin Holders as to the number of Conversion Shares and Shares   that may be included in the registration and underwriting as allocated in the   foregoing manner.  No such reduction   shall be made with respect to securities offered by the Company for its own   account.  If any Series D Holder or   Bogatin Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, he, she or   it may elect to withdraw
therefrom by written notice to the Company and the   underwriter.  Any Conversion Shares or   Shares so excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall also be   withdrawn from such registration.

Form S-3 Registration.  If, at a time when Form S-3 (or any   comparable successor form) is available for the registration of Registrable   Securities and the Company is eligible to use Form S-3 (or such successor   form) for such registration, the Company shall receive from the Series D   Holders a written request that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3   (or such successor form) of any of the Registrable Securities, the Company   will promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other   Series D Holders and, as soon as practicable, effect such registration and   all such related qualifications and compliances as may be reasonably   requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all   Registered Securities as are specified in such request and any written   requests of other Series D Holders given within twenty (20) days after   receipt of such notice..  The rights   of the Purchaser to
request registration under this Section 3.3 shall   be in addition to all other registration rights in this Agreement.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
3.4
  	
  
Expenses of Registration.  All Registration Expenses incurred in   connection with any registration, qualification or compliance pursuant to Section   3.1, Section 3.2 or Section 3.3 of this Agreement   shall be borne by the Company; and each participating Series D Holder and   Bogatin Holder shall bear his, her or its respective Selling Expenses; provided, however, that if any jurisdiction in which such   securities shall be qualified shall require that expenses incurred in   connection with the qualification of the securities in that jurisdiction be   borne by the Series D Holders or Bogatin Holders, then each participating   Series D Holder and Bogatin Holder shall bear his, her or its respective   portion of such expenses.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
3.5
  	
  
Registration Procedures.  In the case of each registration effected   by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall keep the Series   D Holders, to the extent that any Registrable Securities or Conversion Shares   are included in such registration, and the Bogatin Holders, to the extent   that any Shares are included in such registration, advised in writing as to   the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof.  At its expense the Company shall use its   best efforts to:
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(a)
  	
  
keep such   registration effective for a period of one hundred eighty (180) days or until   the participating Series D Holders and Bogatin Holders, as applicable, have   completed the distribution described in the registration statement relating   thereto, whichever first occurs; and
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(b)
  	
  
furnish such   number of prospectuses and other documents incident thereto as the   participating Series D Holders or Bogatin Holders, as applicable, from time   to time may reasonably request.

Indemnification.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(a)
  	
  
With respect   to the Series D Holders and Bogatin Holders, if any of their respective   Registrable Securities, Conversion Shares or Shares have been registered or   qualified pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall indemnify the Series   D Holders and Bogatin Holders, and each of the officers, directors and   partners of each Series D Holder and each Bogatin Holder, each Person   controlling (as defined in Section 3.6(e) below) each Series D Holder   and each Bogatin Holder, each of such controlling person’s officers,   directors and partners, and shall also indemnify each underwriter, if any,   and each Person who controls any underwriter, against all claims, losses,   damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or   based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material   fact contained in any prospectus, offering circular or other document   (including any related registration statement,
notification or the like)   incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on   any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required   to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not   misleading in light of the circumstances under which such statements were   made, or any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated   under the Securities Act applicable to the Company and relating to action or   inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration,   qualification or compliance, and shall reimburse the Series D Holders and   Bogatin Holders, and each of the officers, directors and partners of each   Series D Holder and each Bogatin Holder, each Person controlling (as defined   in Section 3.6(e) below) each Series D Holder and each Bogatin Holder,   each of such controlling person’s officers, directors and partners, each such   underwriter, and each Person who controls such
underwriter, for any legal and   other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or   defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company shall not be liable in any   such case to the extent that any such claim, loss, damage, liability or   expense arises out of or is based upon written information furnished to the   Company in an instrument duly executed by a Series D Holder, a Bogatin   Holder, the underwriter or any such other party seeking to be indemnified,   where such information was provided specifically for use in such prospectus,   offering circular or related document.
  

11

	
  
 
  	
  
(b)
  	
  
Each   participating Series D Holder and Bogatin Holder shall, if securities held by   him, her or it are included among the securities as to which a registration,   qualification or compliance is being effected, severally and not jointly,   indemnify the Company, each of its directors and officers, each underwriter,   if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a registration statement,   each Person who controls (as defined in Section 3.6(e) below) the   Company, such underwriter, the Purchaser, and each of such controlling   person’s officers, directors and partners, against all claims, losses,   damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or   based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material   fact contained in any such registration statement, prospectus, offering   circular or other document, or any omission (or alleged omission) to state   therein a material fact required to be
stated therein or necessary to make   the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under   which such statements were made, and shall reimburse the Company, its directors,   officers, partners, underwriters and control persons for any legal or any   other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or   defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to   the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged   untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such   registration statement, prospectus, offering circular or other document in   reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the   Company by any such Series D Holder or Bogatin Holder specifically for use   therein; provided, however,   that the respective obligations of any such Series D Holder or Bogatin   Holder hereunder shall be limited to an amount equal to the respective net proceeds   to such
Series D Holder or Bogatin Holder of securities sold as contemplated   herein.
  

12

	
  
 
  	
  
(c)
  	
  
Each party   entitled to indemnification under this Section 3.6 (the “Indemnified   Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide   indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party   has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought and   shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim   or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the   Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any   litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party   (whose approval shall not be withheld unreasonably), and the Indemnified   Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s   expense.  The failure of any   Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall relieve the   Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 3.6 only if
such failure is prejudicial to the ability of the Indemnifying Party to   defend such action, and only then to the extent so prejudiced, and such   failure shall in no event relieve the Indemnifying Party of any liability   that he or it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this Section   3.6.  No Indemnifying Party, in   the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent   of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any   settlement that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving   by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all   liability with respect to such claim or litigation.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(d)
  	
  
If the   indemnification provided in Section   3.6(a) or Section 3.6(b)is unavailable for any reason, the   Indemnifying Party agrees to contribute to the claims, losses, damages and   liabilities of the Indemnified Party in the proportion appropriate to reflect   (i) the relative benefits received by the Indemnified Party, on the one hand,   and the Indemnifying Party, on the other hand, in connection with the   transaction(s) from which such claims, losses, damages or liabilities arose,   (ii) the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and the   Indemnified Party, on the other, in connection with such claims, losses,   damages or liabilities, and (iii) any other relevant equitable   considerations.  The relative fault of   the Indemnifying Party, on the one hand, and of the Indemnified Party, on the   other hand, shall be determined by reference to, among other things, the   parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access
to information, opportunity to   correct or prevent the circumstances resulting in such claims, losses,   damages or liabilities, and whether any alleged untrue statement or omission   or any other alleged conduct relates to information provided by the   Indemnifying Party or other conduct by the Indemnifying Party (or its   employees or other agents), on the one hand, or by the Indemnified Party, on   the other hand; provided, however, that the respective   obligations of any such Series D Holder or Bogatin Holder hereunder shall be   limited to an amount equal to the respective net proceeds to such Series D   Holder or Bogatin Holder of securities sold as contemplated herein.
  

13

	
  
 
  	
  
(e)
  	
  
For purposes   of this Section 3.6, the term “control” shall have the meaning   assigned thereto under the Securities Act.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
3.7
  	
  
Information by the Purchaser and Bogatin.  Each Series D Holder and Bogatin Holder,   with respect to any registration in which Securities held by him, her or it   are included, shall furnish in writing to the Company such information   regarding himself, herself or itself and the distribution proposed by him,   her or it as the Company may reasonably request in writing and as shall be   reasonably required in connection with any registration, qualification or   compliance referred to in this Agreement, and the Company shall not be   required to include its or his respective securities in any such registration   unless such information shall have been provided.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
3.8
  	
  
Limitations on Registration of Issues of   Securities.    From and after the date of this Agreement, without the consent of the   Purchaser, the Company shall not enter into any agreement with any holder or   prospective holder of any securities of the Company, giving such holder or   prospective holder rights with respect to the registration of any securities   of the Company.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
3.9
  	
  
Transfer of Registration Rights.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(a)
  	
  
The rights   to cause the Company to register Securities under Section 3.1, Section   3.2 and Section 3.3 hereof may be assigned by the Purchaser (a) to   any beneficial owner of Registrable Securities or Conversion Shares for which   the Purchaser acts as nominee, (b) to an assignee of Registrable Securities   or Conversion Shares, or (c) upon distribution by the Purchaser or an   assignee described in (b), which assignee is an entity, of any Securities to   the direct or indirect beneficial owners of the securities of such entity   (including direct or indirect general or limited partners thereof), together   with the securities being transferred; provided, however, that   in each case the Company is given written notice, at the time or within a   reasonable time after said transfer, stating the name and address of said   transferee and identifying the Securities with respect to which such   registration rights are being
assigned.    No such assignment shall be effective unless the transferee shall be   required, as a condition to such transfer, to agree in writing that he or it   will receive and hold such Securities subject to the provisions of this   Agreement and unless the Company is given written notice at the time of the   assignment or within a reasonable time after such assignment, stating the   name and address of said transferee and identifying the securities that are   being assigned.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(b)
  	
  
The rights   to cause the Company to register Securities under Section 3.2 hereof   may be assigned by Bogatin to any Permitted Transferee to whom Shares are   transferred pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section   2.3(b)(i) and Article V; provided, however, that in   each case the Company is given written notice, at the time or within a   reasonable time after said transfer, stating the name and address of said   transferee and identifying the Securities with respect to which such   registration rights are being assigned.

SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT

             THIS SETTLEMENT AND RELEASE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made and entered into as of this 28th day of October, 2003, by and between TURBOCHEF TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and GRAND CHEER COMPANY LIMITED, a British Virgin Islands Corporation (“Grand Cheer”).

RECITALS:

	
  
A.
  	
  
The Company   and Grand Cheer are parties to that certain Promissory Note, dated as of July   11, 2002, in the original principal amount of One Million Dollars   ($1,000,000) (the ”Note”), which is secured by certain of the   Company’s C-3 Rapid Cook Ovens (the ”Collateral”) and which   carried a finance charge in the amount of Two Hundred Thousand Dollars   ($200,000) (the “Finance Charge”).
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
B.
  	
  
The Note,   which by its terms was due and payable in full on October 15, 2002, has not   been paid by the Company.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
C.
  	
  
The Company   and Grand Cheer are parties to that certain Warrant Agreement, dated as of   March 19, 2001, pursuant to which Grand Cheer was granted the right to   purchase up to one million (1,000,000) shares of the Company’s common stock,   par value $.01 per share (the “Common Stock”), at a purchase price of   $1.20 per share (the “Warrant”).
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  
	
  
D.
  	
  
Grand Cheer   is the record and beneficial owner of twenty thousand (20,000) shares of   Series B Convertible Preferred Stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Series   B Shares”), which shares are convertible into two million (2,000,000)   shares of Common Stock.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
E.
  	
  
As a result   of the Company’s failure to pay the Note when due, all rights under the   Warrant have vested and the Warrant is presently exercisable in full.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
F.
  	
  
The Company   is currently negotiating with OvenWorks, LLLP, a Georgia limited liability   limited partnership (“OvenWorks”), the terms of a Stock Purchase   Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which OvenWorks   (together with other investors for which it serves as nominee) would acquire   shares of the Company’s Series D Preferred Stock representing approximately   fifty-eight percent (58%) of the Company’s outstanding capital stock on a   fully-diluted, as-converted basis (the ”Transaction”).
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  G.
  	
  
The Company   and Grand Cheer desire to enter into this Agreement to set forth their   understandings with respect to certain matters.
  

             NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as follows:

	
  
1.
  	
  
Payment to Grand Cheer; Issuance of Shares.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(a)
  	
  
Within five   (5) business days following consummation of the Transaction, the Company   shall pay, or cause to be paid, to Grand Cheer, by check or wire transfer to   such account as is specified by Grand Cheer, the sum of One Million Two   Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,200,000) (the “Payment”), which amount   represents the original principal amount of the Note plus interest from the   period from October 16, 2002 through the date hereof.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
   
  	
  
(b)
  	
  
Within   fifteen (15) business days following consummation of the Transaction, the   Company shall, in exchange for the Finance Charge due and owing to Grand   Cheer, issue to Grand Cheer such number of shares of the Company’s Common   Stock as is equal to the amount of the Finance Charge divided by the   as-converted price per share of Common Stock being paid by OvenWorks in the   Transaction (the “Shares”).
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
2.
  	
  
Acknowledgment of Satisfaction.  The Company and Grand Cheer acknowledge   and agree that (a) the receipt by Grand Cheer of the Payment and the Shares   shall be in complete satisfaction of any and all amounts due and owing from   the Company to Grand Cheer pursuant to the Note, (b) upon receipt by Grand   Cheer of the Payment and the Shares, (i) such note shall be cancelled and   extinguished, and the original of such Note shall be marked “Paid In Full” or   “Cancelled” and shall be returned promptly to the Company, (ii) all claims of   Grand Cheer with respect to the Collateral shall be released, and (iii) Grand   Cheer promptly shall take such actions, including making any filings required   by any state, municipality or other jurisdiction, as are necessary to terminate,   or cause to be terminated, any financing statements or similar filings with   respect to the Collateral.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  3.
  	
  
Amendment to Warrant.  The Company and Grand Cheer agree that,   upon the receipt by Grand Cheer of the Payment and the Shares, the Warrant   shall, with no further action on the part of the Company or Grand Cheer, be   amended to provide that the total number of shares of Common Stock subject to   the warrant shall be eight hundred thousand (800,000) shares, subject to   adjustment as provided in Section 5 of the Warrant.  Except as specifically amended by this Section 3, the   Warrant, including without limitation the exercise price of One Dollar and   20/100 ($1.20) per share thereunder, shall remain in full force and effect.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
4.
  	
  
Release.

For the avoidance of

The Company,   for itself and its respective past, present and future agents, successors,   heirs, representatives, and assigns, hereby releases and forever discharges   Grand Cheer, and all of its affiliates, and its past, present and future   officers, directors, stockholders, affiliates, agents, servants,   representatives, attorneys, employees, predecessors, successors, subrogees   and assigns, of and from all liability, rights, claims, counterclaims,   demands, damages, costs, expenses, actions, causes of action, suits of   liability and controversies of every kind and description whatsoever, whether   known or unknown, involving any claims or counterclaims which were or could   have been raised by the Company against Grand Cheer in connection with or   arising from Grand Cheer’s acquisition and ownership of the Series B Shares,   the Note, or otherwise arising out of anything that has occurred up through   the date hereof.  For the avoidance of
doubt, this release shall not be interpreted to include and shall expressly   exclude all matters arising from or related to the breach, performance and   non-performance of this Agreement, or the Voting Agreement attached hereto as   Exhibit A.
  
	
  
 
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
 
  	
  
(c)
  	
  
It is   expressly understood and agreed by the Company and Grand Cheer that the   releases in Section 4(a) and Section 4(b) of this Agreement are   intended to and do cover any and all losses, injuries, damages and claims of   every kind and nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, known or   unknown, suspected or unsuspected relating to the matters released therein   (the “Released Matters”).  The   Company and Grand Cheer acknowledges that each may hereafter discover facts   different from, or in addition to, those which they now know to be or believe   to be true with respect to the Released Matters, and the Company and Grand   Cheer agree that this Agreement and the releases contained in Section 4(a)   and Section 4(b) shall be effective and shall remain effective in   all respects, notwithstanding any such different or additional facts and the   subsequent discovery thereof.
  
	
   
  	
  
 
  	
  
 
  
	
  
5.

6.

Simultaneously herewith, and as a condition to the   effectiveness of this Agreement, Grand Cheer shall execute the form of Voting   Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A, pursuant to which, among other   things, Grand Cheer shall agree to vote its shares of the Company’s capital   stock:
