time. Options with respect to the remaining twenty thousand (20,000) shares

the Company at that time. Such options shall be exercisable at a price per share

      6. Termination by the Company. The Executive's employment hereunder may be
terminated by the Company without any breach of this Agreement only under the
circumstances described below.

            (a) Death. The Executive's employment hereunder shall terminate upon
his death.

            (b) Disability. If, as a result of the Executive's incapacity due to
physical or mental illness, as determined by a physician mutually chosen by the
Executive and the Company, the Executive shall have been absent from his duties
hereunder for a consecutive period of forty-five (45) days and after notice of
termination is given (which may be given before or after the end of such 45 day
period but which will in no event be effective until, at the earliest, the day
following the forty-fifth day of the period) shall not have returned to the
performance of his duties hereunder, as that concept is contemplated in this
Agreement, within ten (10) days after the notice of termination is given, the
Company may terminate the Executive's employment hereunder.

            (c) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's employment
under this Agreement at any time for cause. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "cause" shall include one or more of the following: (i) willful misconduct,

termination shall be evidenced by written notice thereof to the Executive.

            (d) Without Cause. In addition to any other rights the Company has
to terminate the Executive's employment under this Agreement, the Company may,
at any time, by a vote of not

                                       3
<PAGE>

less than fifty percent (50%) of the directors then in office (excluding the
vote of the Executive if he is also a director), terminate the Executive without
cause upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice to the Executive setting forth
the reasons, if any, for the termination. For purposes of this Agreement, the
term "without cause" shall mean termination by the Company on any grounds other
than those set forth in paragraphs 6(a), (b) or (c) hereof.

            (e) Severance Pay. In the event that the Company has terminated the
Executive's employment under this Agreement (i) "without cause" or (ii) in the
event there is a "Change of Control" (as defined below), then the Executive will
be entitled to receive severance pay equal to fifty percent (50%) of his base
salary for the unexpired period of his two (2) year employment term; such
payment, if any, shall be made to the Executive within thirty (30) days of such
termination of the Executive's employment.

            (f) Change of Control. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Change of
Control" shall be deemed to occur, unless previously consented to in writing by
the Executive, and only if the Executive is not offered continued employment
under terms substantially similar to this Agreement, upon (i) the actual
acquisition of fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting securities of the
Company by any company or entity or affiliated group of companies or entities
(other than pursuant to a bona fide underwriting agreement relating to a public
distribution of securities of the Company), (ii) the completion of a tender or
exchange offer for more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the
Company by any company or entity or affiliated group of companies or entities
not affiliated with the Executive, (iii) the completion of a proxy contest
against the management for the election of a majority of the Board of Directors
of the Company if the group conducting the proxy contest owns, has or gains the
power to vote at least fifty percent (50%) of the voting securities of the
Company, or (iv) a merger or consolidation in which the Company is not the
surviving entity or a sale of or substantially all of the assets of the Company.

            (g) Change of Control Compensation. In the event of a completion of
a tender or exchange offer for more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting
securities of the Company by any company or entity or affiliated group of
companies or entities not affiliated with the Executive, the stock options,
described in paragraph 5(e) and all other stock options previously or
subsequently received, shall immediately be exercisable and any unvested shall
immediately vest.

            (h) The Executive shall not be required to mitigate the amount of
any payment provided for in this paragraph 6 by seeking other employment or
otherwise nor shall the amount of any payment provided for in this paragraph 6
be reduced by any compensation earned by the

                                       4
<PAGE>

Executive as the result of employment by another employer or business or by
profits earned by the Executive from any other source at any time before and
after the date of termination. The amounts payable to the Executive under this
Agreement shall not be treated as damages, but as severance pay to which the
Executive is entitled by reason of his employment and the circumstances
contemplated by this Agreement.

            (i) The severance pay which the Executive will be entitled to
receive as a result of the termination of his employment under this Agreement,
shall be the Executive's exclusive remedy in the event of such termination.

      7. Non-Competition and Confidentiality Covenant. The Executive hereby
covenants and agrees that he will not serve as an officer of or perform any
functions for any other company during the term of his employment under this
Agreement, except as provided in Section 4. In addition, during the term of this
Agreement and for a period of two (2) years immediately following the
termination of his employment, whether said termination is occasioned by the
Company, the Executive or a mutual agreement of the parties, the Executive shall
not, for himself or on behalf of any other person, persons, firm, partnership,
corporation or company, engage or participate in any activities which are in
direct or indirect conflict with the interests of the Company or solicit or
attempt to solicit the business or patronage of any person, firm, corporation,
company or partnership, which had previously been a customer of the Company, for
the purpose of selling products and services similar to those provided by the
Company.

            Furthermore, the Executive acknowledges and agrees that: all mailing
lists; customer, member and prospect names; license or arrangement; front-end
and back-end marketing performance; financial statements; operating system,
database and other computer software, specific to the Company; and all
information which is known by the Executive to be subject to a confidentiality
agreement or obligation of confidentiality, even without a confidentiality
agreement between the Company and another person or party, shall be maintained
by the Executive in a confidential manner and the Executive agrees that the
Executive will not use such information to the detriment of the Company or
disclose such information to any third party, except as may be necessary in the
course of performing the Executive's job responsibilities. The Executive further
agrees that these obligations of confidentiality with respect to such
information shall continue after the Executive ceases to be employed by the
Company. Disclosure of the aforementioned information shall not be prohibited if
such disclosure is directly pursuant to a valid and existing order of a court or
other governmental body or agency within the United States; provided, however,
that (i) the Executive shall first have given prompt notice to the Company of
any such possible or prospective

                                       5
<PAGE>

order (or proceeding pursuant to which any such order may result), (ii) the
Company shall have been afforded a reasonable opportunity to review such
disclosure and to prevent or limit any such disclosure, and (iii) the Executive
shall, if requested by the Company and at the Company's cost and expense, use
his best efforts to prevent or limit any such disclosure by means of a
protective order or a request for confidential treatment.

      8. Indemnification. To the maximum extent permitted under the corporate
laws of the State of Florida or, if more favorable, the Articles of
Incorporation and/or By-Laws of the Company as in effect on the date of this
Agreement, (a) the Executive shall be indemnified and held harmless by the
Company, as provided under such corporate laws or such Articles of Incorporation
and/or By-Laws, as applicable, for any and all actions taken or matters
undertaken, directly or indirectly, in the performance of his duties and
responsibilities under this Agreement or otherwise on behalf of the Company,
provided the Executive did not act wantonly or recklessly or was not grossly
negligent or engaged in willful misconduct, and (b) without limiting clause (a),
the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Executive from and against (i)
any claim, loss, liability, obligation, damage, cost, expense, action, suit,
proceeding or cause of action (collectively, "Claims") arising from or out of or
relating to the Executive's acting as an officer, director, employee or agent of
the Company or any of its affiliates or in any other capacity, including,
without limitation, any fiduciary capacity, in which the Executive serves at the
request of the Company, and (ii) any cost or expense (including, without
limitation, fees and disbursements of counsel) (collectively, "Expenses")
incurred by the Executive in connection with the defense or investigation
thereof. If any Claim is asserted or other matter arises with respect to which
the Executive believes in good faith the Executive is entitled to
indemnification as contemplated hereby, the Company shall, at its election, to
be determined in its sole and absolute discretion, either assume the defense or
investigation of such Claim or matter or pay the Expenses incurred by the
Executive in connection with the defense or investigation of such Claim or
matter, provided that the Executive shall reimburse the Company for such
amounts, plus simple interest thereon at the then current Prime Rate as in
effect from time to time, compounded annually, if the Executive shall be found,
as finally judicially determined by a court of competent jurisdiction, not to
have been entitled to indemnification hereunder.

      9. Binding Agreement. This Agreement and all rights of the Executive
hereunder shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the Executive's

                                    Re:   LOAN AGREEMENT

Gentlemen:

      Reference is made to the Amended and Restated Credit Agreement dated as of
April 30, 2001, by and among MediaBay, Inc. (the "Company"), Radio Spirits, Inc.
and Audio Book Club, Inc., as borrowers, and the banks, financial institutions
and other institutions named therein, as amended to date (the "Credit
Agreement"), the obligations of the Company under which are scheduled to mature
on January 15, 2003. The lenders under the Credit Agreement (the "Lenders") have
agreed to amend the Credit Agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit A
annexed hereto (the "Amended Credit Agreement"), and as a condition to entering
into the Amended Credit Agreement, the Lenders require that the Company obtain
at least $1,500,000 of additional financing and that Huntingdon extend the
maturity dates of the Existing Notes (defined below).

      This letter agreement (the "Agreement") confirms our agreement and
understanding with respect to the following matters:

      1. Initial Financing.

      (a) As consideration for Huntingdon Corporation ("Huntingdon") advancing
to the Company an aggregate of $1,000,000 through the date hereof (collectively,
the "Initial Financing") for working capital purposes, on the date hereof, the
Company shall deliver to Huntingdon a $1,000,000 principal amount convertible
senior promissory note secured by all of the assets (other than cash, accounts
receivable and inventory) of the Company and containing such other terms as set
forth in Exhibit B annexed hereto (the "Initial Financing Note").

      (b) As further consideration for the Initial Financing, on the date
hereof, the Company shall issue to Huntingdon warrants to purchase up to 250,000
shares of common stock, no par value, of the Company (the "Common Stock") at an
initial exercise price of $2.00 per share pursuant to a warrant agreement (the
"Warrant Agreement") in the form of Exhibit C annexed hereto (the "Initial
Financing Warrants").

<PAGE>

      2. Second Financing.

      (a) Huntingdon shall loan to the Company $150,000 (the "Second

funds on or before October 10, 2002 (the "Second Financing Date").

      (b) As consideration for the Second Financing, on the Second Financing
Date, the Company shall execute and deliver to Huntingdon a convertible senior
promissory note in the principal amount of $150,000, secured by all of the
assets of the Company (other than cash, accounts receivable and inventory) of
the Company and containing such other terms as set forth in Exhibit D annexed
hereto (the "Second Financing Note"). The Second Financing Note shall be
convertible into shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate equal to
(i) $2.00 or (ii) the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Second
Financing Date, whichever is lower.

      (c) As additional consideration for the Second Financing, on the Second
Financing Date, the Company shall issue to Huntingdon warrants to purchase up to
a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of a fraction, the numerator of
which is $150,000 and the denominator of which is the initial conversion rate of
the Second Financing Note, at an initial exercise price per share equal to the
initial conversion rate of the Second Financing Note (the "Second Financing
Warrants") pursuant to the Warrant Agreement.

      3. Third Financing.

      (a) Huntingdon shall loan to the Company $350,000 (the "Third Financing"),
payable to the Company by wire transfer of immediately available funds on or
before November 15, 2002 (the "Third Financing Date").

      (b) As consideration for the Third Financing, on the Third Financing Date,
the Company shall execute and deliver to Huntingdon a convertible senior
promissory note in the principal amount of $350,000 secured by all of the assets
of the Company (other than cash, accounts receivable and inventory) of the
Company and containing such other terms as set forth in Exhibit D annexed hereto
(the "Third Financing Note"). The Third Financing Note shall be convertible into
shares of Common Stock at an initial conversion rate equal to (i) $2.00 or (ii)
the closing sale price of the Common Stock on the Third Financing Date,
whichever is lower.

      (c) As additional consideration for the Third Financing, on the Third
Financing Date, the Company shall issue to Huntingdon warrants to purchase up to
a number of shares of Common Stock equal to 50% of a fraction, the numerator of

the Third Financing Note at an initial exercise price per share equal to the
initial conversion rate of the Third Financing Note (the "Third Financing
Warrants") pursuant to the Warrant Agreement.

      4. Supplemental Financings.

      (a) Huntington may loan to the Company up to an additional $1,500,000
(each such loan, a "Supplemental Financing") at any time, from time to time,
upon the mutual agreement of Huntingdon and the Company.

      (b) In the event Huntingdon loans all or a portion of the Supplemental
Financing to the Company in accordance with Section 4(a) above, the Company
shall (i) deliver to Huntingdon a convertible senior subordinated unsecured
promissory note in the principal amount of the Supplemental Financing made on
such date, containing such other terms as set forth in Exhibit E annexed hereto

the Common Stock or the date of such Supplemental Financing.

      (a) Huntingdon hereby represents, warrants and acknowledges to the Company
that:

            (i) Huntingdon is a corporation duly organized under the laws of the
State of Florida and has full power and authority to execute and deliver this
Agreement, Warrant Agreement, the Security Agreement Amendment, the
Intercreditor Agreement Amendment and the Registration Rights Agreement. This
Agreement, together with the Warrant Agreement, the Security Agreement
Amendment, the Intercreditor Agreement Amendment and the Registration Rights
Agreement are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "Huntingdon
Agreements") and to perform its obligations thereunder. The execution and
delivery of the Huntingdon Agreements by Huntingdon and the performance by
Huntingdon of its obligations thereunder have been duly authorized by all
necessary corporate action on the part of Huntingdon. Each of the Huntingdon
Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by Huntingdon and constitutes
the legal, valid and binding obligation of Huntingdon, enforceable against
Huntingdon in accordance with its terms.

            (ii) Huntingdon is a sophisticated purchaser and has received and
reviewed copies of the Company's most recent annual report, proxy statement and
other recent filings by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and such other
information concerning the Company and its business, financial condition and
results of operations as to be able to make an informed analysis and decision
regarding the purchase of the Financing Notes and Financing Warrants and the
shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion and/or exercise
thereof, as the case may be (collectively, the "Securities"). Huntingdon has had
a reasonable opportunity to ask questions of and receive answers from the
Company, and all such questions, if any, have been answered to Huntingdon's full
satisfaction. Huntingdon has such knowledge and expertise in financial and
business matters that Huntingdon is capable of evaluating the merits and risks
involved in the purchase of the Securities. Huntingdon is acquiring and will
acquire, as applicable, the

                                      -4-
<PAGE>

Securities solely for its own account, for investment purposes only, and not
with a view towards their resale or distribution other than in accordance with
an effective registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended
(the "Act") or an applicable exemption therefrom. Huntingdon is an "accredited
investor," as such term is defined in Regulation D of the Rules and Regulations
promulgated under the Act.

            (iii) Huntingdon understands that (a) the sale of the Securities to
Huntingdon has not been registered under the Act or the securities laws of any
state, based upon an exemption from such registration requirements for
non-public offerings pursuant to the Act and regulations thereunder; (b) the
Securities are and will be "restricted securities", as said term is defined in
Rule 144 of the Rules and Regulations promulgated under the Act; (c) the
Securities may not be sold or otherwise transferred unless they have been first
registered under the Act and all applicable state securities laws, or unless
exemptions from such registration provisions are available with respect to said
resale or transfer; (d) except as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement,
the Company is under no obligation to register the Securities under the Act or
any state securities laws, or to take any action to make any exemption from any
such registration provisions available; (e) the certificates for the Securities
will bear a legend to the effect that the transfer of any of the securities
represented thereby is subject to the provisions hereof; and (f) stop transfer
instructions will be placed in the Company's records with respect to the
Securities.

      (b) The Company hereby represents, warrants and acknowledges to Huntingdon
that:

            (i) The Company is a corporation duly organized under the laws of
the State of Florida and has full power and authority to execute and deliver the
Financing Notes, the Financing Warrants and the Huntingdon Agreements (the
Huntingdon Agreements, together with the Notes and Warrants, are hereinafter
collectively referred to as the "Company Agreements"), and to perform its
obligations thereunder. The execution and delivery of the Company Agreements by
the Company and the performance by the Company of its obligations thereunder
have been duly authorized by all necessary corporate action on the part of the
Company. Each of the Company Agreements has been duly executed and delivered by
the Company and constitutes the legal, valid and binding obligation of the
Company, enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms.

            (ii) The Company shall at all times reserve and keep available, free
from preemptive rights, out of its authorized but unissued common stock, the
full number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion and/or exercise
of the Financing Notes and Financing Warrants, as the case may be, and upon due
conversion and/or exercise thereof, as the case may be, pursuant to their
respective terms (including the payment of the exercise price thereof with
respect to the exercise of the Financing Warrants), the shares of the Common
Stock issuable upon such conversion and/or exercise, as the case may be, will be
duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

            (iii) The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of the
Company Agreements and the consummation by the Company of the transactions
contemplated thereby do not (A) violate any law, rule, regulation, order, writ,
judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award or (B) conflict with or
result in the breach of, or constitute a default under, any material contract,
loan agreement, indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, lease or other material
instrument or agreement binding on or affecting the Company.

      9. Existing Notes

      (a) The Company and Huntingdon agree that the maturity date of the
$2,500,000 Note shall be extended to September 30, 2007.

      (b) The Company and Huntingdon agree that the maturity date of the
$800,000 Note shall be extended to September 30, 2007.

      (c) The Company and Huntingdon agree that the maturity date of the
$500,000 Note shall be extended to September 30, 2007.

      (d) The Company and Huntingdon agree that the $2,500,000 Note and the
$500,000 Note shall be amended adding a new Section 1.9 to each such note after
the end of Section 1.8 of each such note which reads as follows:

            1.9   The Holder shall have the right, at any time on or after the
                  date on which the Company has repaid all of its obligations
                  under the Senior Credit Agreement to make a demand for payment
                  of the unpaid principal balance of, and interest on, this Note
                  and, on such date, the outstanding principal balance of, and
                  interest on, this Note shall become due and payable.

      (e) The Company and Huntingdon agree that the $800,000 Note shall be
amended by adding a new Section 1.9 after the end of Section 1.8 of such note
which reads as follows:

            1.9   The Holder shall have the right, at any time on or after the
                  ninetieth (90th) date after the date on which the Company has
                  repaid all of its obligations under the Senior Credit
                  Agreement, to make a demand for payment of the unpaid
                  principal balance of, and interest on, this Note and on such
                  date, the outstanding principal balance of, and interest on,
                  this Note shall become due and payable.

      (f) Huntingdon and the Company acknowledge, however, that ING (U.S.)
Capital Corporation and the other lender parties to the Amended Credit Agreement
(the "Lender Parties") are relying on the extensions of the maturity dates of
the Existing Notes as third-party beneficiaries of Sections 9(a) through (f)
and, therefore, agree not to change the maturity date of any Existing Note or
the date on which Huntingdon may demand repayment of any Existing Note to a date
prior to the date on which the Company repays all of its obligations under the
Amended Credit Agreement (or 90 days after such date in the case of the $800,000
Note).

      (g) Huntingdon waves any rights it may have under the Existing Notes which
relates to or arise out of this Agreement including, without limitation, the
covenants and conditions set forth in Sections 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 of each of the
Existing Notes.

      (h) As consideration for extending the maturity dates of the Existing
Notes and the consent and waiver set forth in Section 9(e), notwithstanding
Section 1.6 of each Existing Note, the Company agrees, for so long as any
Existing Note is held by Huntingdon, not to prepay any Existing Note (in whole
or in part) unless the Company provides 90 business days prior written notice to
Huntingdon of such prepayment.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>

      (i) Section 1.1 of each Existing Note shall be amended by adding the
following sentence after the last sentence of Section 1.1:

                        Any interest on this Note which is not paid on the date
                  such interest payment is due shall accrue interest from and
                  after the date such interest payment was due (including due to
                  the fact that it was accrued in accordance with this Section
                  1.1) at the same rate of interest as payable on the unpaid
                  principal balance of this Note, and shall be paid on the same
                  date on which any interest accrued on the unpaid principal
                  balance of this Note is paid.

      10. As long as any Financing Note is held by Huntingdon, without the prior
written consent of Huntingdon, the Company will not, and will not permit any
subsidiary to, directly or indirectly, create, incur, assume, guarantee, or
otherwise become directly or indirectly liable with respect to, any Debt
(defined in the Financing Notes), other than:

      (a) this Note and any guaranties thereof;

      (b) Debt owing by the Company to any wholly-owned subsidiary of the
Company and Debt of a subsidiary of the Company owing to the Company or a
wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company;

      (c) Debt existing or issued on the Issue Date and listed on Schedule 10
(including Debt under the Amended Credit Agreement);

      (d) Debt incurred under the Senior Credit Facility (defined in the
Financing Notes) from time to time following the Issue Date;

      (e) Debt incurred or created to refinance any of the Debt permitted by
clauses (C) and (D) of this Section 10, provided that in the case of Debt listed
on Schedule 10 (other than Debt under the Senior Credit Facility and refinancing
thereof), the principal amount does not exceed the principal amount of Debt
being refinanced;

      (f) Debt (other than the Financing Notes) owing by the Company or a
subsidiary thereof to Norton Herrick, Evan Herrick, Michael Herrick and/or
Howard Herrick (together, the "Herricks") and/or any of their respective
affiliates;

      (g) Debt incurred by the Company or a subsidiary thereof to finance the
payment of the Change in Control Purchase Price (defined in the Financing Notes)
of the Financing Notes;

      (h) The Financing Notes;

      (i) Debt, in addition to the Debt permitted to be incurred by the clauses
(A) through (H) of this Section 10, in the principal amount at any time
outstanding not to exceed $1,000,000;

      (j) Any Guaranties made or issued by the Company of Debt permitted to be
incurred by any of its subsidiaries pursuant to clauses (E), (F), (G), (H) and
(I) above and clause (K) below and Guaranties (defined in the Financing Notes)
made or issued by subsidiaries of the

                                      -7-
<PAGE>

Company of Debt permitted to be incurred by the Company pursuant to clauses (C),
(D), (E), (F), (G), (H) and (I) above and clause (K) below; and

      (k) Any other Debt permitted to be incurred by the Company or any of its
subsidiaries consistent with the terms of the Amended Credit Agreement as in
effect on the Date of this Agreement.

      11. As long as any Financing Note is held by Huntingdon, without the prior
written consent of Huntingdon, the Company will not, and will not permit any
subsidiary thereof to, incur, assume or Guaranty any Debt which is subordinated
in right of payment to any other Debt of the Company or any subsidiary thereof,
unless such Debt is also subordinated in right of payment to the obligations of
the Company in respect of this Note on terms reasonably acceptable to the
Holder.

      12. Preferred Stock Exchange.

      In the event that the Company and Huntingdon mutually agree to exchange
the debt represented by one or more of the Existing Note and/or the Financing
Notes for equity securities of the Company, in lieu of Huntingdon converting the
Note, all or a portion of the Existing Notes and/or Financing Notes may be
exchanged for shares of one or more newly created series of preferred stock,
which series shall rank pari passu in all respects with the Series A Convertible
Preferred Stock of the Company, and otherwise have substantially similar rights,
preferences and privileges as, the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of the
Company, except that the conversion rate of any newly created of preferred stock
shall be the same as the conversion rate of the Existing Note or Financing Note
it is issued in exchange for and any preferred stock issued upon exchange of a
Financing Note will have the same anti-dilution provisions as such Financing
Note.

      13. Further Assurances.

      Huntingdon and the Company shall, from time to time and at any time
following the delivery of this Agreement, at the request of the other party to

respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and

      The failure of any party hereto to insist upon strict performance of any
of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement or to exercise any
option or right conferred in this Agreement in any one or more instances shall
not be construed to be a waiver or relinquishment of any such option or right or
of any other covenants or agreements, and the same shall be and remain in full
force and effect.

Huntington Corporation
c/o The Herrick Company, Inc.
2 Ridgedale Avenue
Cedar Knolls, New Jersey 07929

Gentlemen:

      Reference is made to the Loan Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") dated
October 3, 2002 by and between Huntington Corporation ("Huntington") and
MediaBay, Inc. (the "Company"), as amended by the certain letter agreement dated
as of October 10, 2002. Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined
herein shall have the same meaning as set forth in the Loan Agreement.

      This letter agreement (the "Agreement") confirms our agreement that
notwithstanding that the Loan Agreement provides that the conversion rate of the
Third Note shall be equal to the lesser of $2.00 and today's closing sale price
of the Common Stock, the conversion price of the Third Note shall be $1.25,
which is above today's closing price of the Common Stock. Accordingly, the
exercise price of the Third Financing Warrants shall be $1.25 per share and the
number of Third Financing Warrants shall be determined by dividing the principal
amount of the Third Note ($350,000) by $1.25 (instead of today's closing sale
price of the Common Stock and results in a lesser number of warrants than if
determined based upon today's closing price).
