The Underwriters' Warrants will be exercisable by you as to all or any lesser number of Units covered thereby, at the Purchase Price per Unit as defined below, at any time and from time to time on and after the first anniversary of the date hereof and ending at 5:00 p.m. on the fifth anniversary of the date hereof.

1.

Definitions.

As used herein the following terms, unless the context otherwise requires, shall have for all purposes hereof the following meanings:

The term "Common Stock" refers to all stock of any class or classes (however designated) of the Company, now or hereafter authorized, the holders of which shall have the right without limitation as to amount, either to all or to a part of the balance of current dividends and liquidating dividends after the payment of dividends and distributions on any shares entitled to preference, and the holders of which shall ordinarily, in the absence of contingency, be entitled to vote for the election of a majority of the directors of the Company (even though the right so to vote has been suspended by the occurrence of such a contingency).

The term "Underlying Common Stock" refers to the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable under this Agreement pursuant to the exercise, in whole or in part, of the Redeemable Warrants or the Underwriters' Warrants.

The term "Other Securities" refers to any securities of the Company or any other person (corporate or otherwise) which the holders of the Underwriters' Warrants at any time shall be entitled to receive, or shall have received, upon the exercise of the Underwriters' Warrants, in lieu of or in addition to Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants, or which at any time shall be issuable or shall have been issued in exchange for or in replacement of Common Stock, Redeemable Warrants or Other Securities pursuant to Section 7 below or otherwise.

The term "Registration Statement" refers, collectively, to the Registration Statements relating to the registration of the Units, Common Stock and Redeemable Warrants with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Rules and Regulations of the Commission under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act").

The term "Purchase Price" refers to the purchase price of the Units subject to this Agreement.  The initial Purchase Price shall $4.20 per Unit.

The purchase and sale of the Underwriters' Warrants shall take place, and the purchase price therefore shall be paid by delivery of your check, simultaneously with the Final Closing as defined in that certain Underwriting Agreement relating to the public offering covered by the Registration Statement.

2.

Representations and Warranties.

The Company represents and warrants to you as follows:

(a)

Corporate Action.  The Company has all requisite corporate power and authority, and has taken all necessary corporate action, to execute and deliver this Agreement, to issue and deliver the Underwriters' Warrants and certificates evidencing same ("Underwriters' Warrant Certificates"), and to authorize and reserve for issuance, and upon payment from time to time of the Purchase Price to issue and deliver, the Units, including the Common Stock and the Redeemable Warrants and shares of Common Stock underlying the Redeemable Warrants.

(b)

No Violation.  Neither the execution nor delivery of this Agreement, the consummation of the actions herein contemplated nor compliance with the terms and provisions hereof will conflict with, or result in a breach of, or constitute a default or an event permitting acceleration under, any of the terms, provisions or conditions of the Articles of Incorporation or Bylaws of the Company or any indenture, mortgage, deed of trust, note, bank loan, credit agreement, franchise, license, lease, permit, judgment, decree, order, statute, rule or regulation or any other agreement, understanding or instrument to which the Company is a party or by which it is bound.

3.

Compliance with the Act.

(a)

Transferability of Underwriters' Warrants.  You agree that the Underwriters' Warrants may not be transferred, sold, assigned or hypothecated prior to the first anniversary date of the effective date of the Registration Statement, except to (i) persons who are officers of you; (ii) a successor to you in a merger or consolidation; (iii) a purchaser of all or substantially all of your assets; (iv) your shareholders in the event you are liquidated or dissolved; (v) participating broker-dealers; and (vi) persons who are partners or officers of participating broker-dealers.

(b)

Registration of Underlying Common Stock.  The Underlying Common Stock has not been registered for resale under the Act and no registration rights have been granted to the Underwriters.  You agree not to make any sale or other disposition of the Underlying Common Stock except pursuant to a registration statement which has become effective under the Act, setting forth the terms of such offering, the underwriting discount and the commissions and any other pertinent data with respect thereto, unless you have provided the Company with an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Company that such registration is not required.

4.

Exercise of Underwriters' Warrants; Partial Exercise.

(a)

Exercise in Full.  Each Underwriters' Warrant may be exercised in full by the holder thereof by surrender of the Underwriters' Warrant Certificate, with the form of subscription at the end thereof duly executed by such holder, to the Company at its principal office, accompanied by payment, in cash or by certified or bank cashiers check payable to the order of the Company, in the respective amount obtained by multiplying the number of Units represented by the Underwriters' Warrant Certificate (after giving effect to any adjustment therein as provided in Section 7 below) by the Purchase Price.

(b)

Partial Exercise.  Each Underwriters' Warrant may be exercised in part by surrender of the Underwriters' Warrant Certificate in the manner and at the place provided in Subsection 4(a) above, accompanied by payment, in cash or by certified or bank cashiers check payable to the order of the Company, in the respective amount obtained by multiplying the number of Units designated by the holder in the form of subscription attached to the Underwriters' Warrant Certificate by the Purchase Price (after giving effect to any adjustment therein as provided in Section 7 below). Upon any such partial exercise, the Company at its expense will forthwith issue and deliver to or upon the order of the purchasing holder, a new Underwriters' Warrant Certificate or Certificates of like tenor, in the name of the holder thereof or as such holder (upon payment by such holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may request calling in the aggregate for the purchase of the number of Units equal to the number of Units called for on the face of the Underwriters' Warrant Certificate (after giving effect to any adjustment therein as provided in Section 7 below) minus the number of Units (after giving effect to such adjustment) designated by the holder in the aforementioned form of subscription.

(c)

Company to Reaffirm Obligations.  The Company will, at the time of any exercise of any Underwriters' Warrant, upon the request of the holder thereof, acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights to which such holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement; provided, however, that if the holder of an Underwriters' Warrant shall fail to make any such request, such failure shall not affect the continuing obligation of the Company to afford to such holder any such rights.

5.

Redemption of Warrants.

All terms applicable to the redemption of the Redeemable Warrants underlying the Underwriters' Warrants shall be identical to the redemption provisions of the Redeemable Warrants set forth in Section ___ of the Public Warrant Agreement.

6.

Delivery of Certificates, etc, on Exercise.

As soon as practicable after the exercise of any Underwriters' Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within twenty days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the purchasing holder thereof, a certificate or certificates for the number of Units, Redeemable Warrants and fully paid and nonassessable shares of the Underlying Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled upon such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash in an amount determined pursuant to Section 8(g), together with any Other Securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 7 below or otherwise.

7.

Anti-dilution Provisions.

The Underwriters' Warrants are subject to the following terms and conditions during the term thereof:

(a)

Stock Distributions and Splits.  In case (i) the outstanding shares of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be subdivided into a greater number of shares or (ii) a dividend or other distribution in Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be paid in respect of Common Stock (or Other Securities), the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such subdivision or at the record date of such dividend or distribution shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such subdivision or immediately after the record date of such dividend or distribution be proportionately reduced; and if outstanding shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be combined into a smaller number of shares thereof, the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such combination shall simultaneously with the effectiveness of such combination be proportionately increased.  Any dividend or other distribution paid on the Common Stock (or Other Securities) in stock or any other securities convertible into shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be treated as a dividend paid in Common Stock (or Other Securities) to the extent that shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) are issuable upon the conversion thereof.

(b)

Adjustments.  Whenever the Purchase Price is adjusted as provided in Subsection 7(a) above, the number of shares of the Underlying Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Underwriters' Warrants immediately prior to such Purchase Price adjustment shall be adjusted, effective simultaneously with such Purchase Price adjustment, to equal the product obtained (calculated to the nearest full share) by multiplying such number of shares of the Underlying Common Stock by a fraction, the numerator of which is the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such Purchase Price adjustment and the denominator of which is the Purchase Price  in effect upon such Purchase Price adjustment, which adjusted number of shares of the Underlying Common Stock shall thereupon be the number of shares of the Underlying Common Stock purchasable upon exercise of the Underwriters' Warrants until further adjusted as provided herein.

(c)

Reorganizations, Mergers and Consolidations.  In case the capital stock of  the Company shall be recapitalized including, without limitation, by reclassifying its outstanding Common Stock (or Other Securities) into a stock with a different par value or by changing its outstanding Common Stock (or Other Securities) with par value to stock without par value, then, as a condition of such recapitalization, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby each holder of an Underwriters' Warrant shall thereafter have the right to purchase, upon the terms and conditions specified herein, in lieu of the Units theretofore purchasable upon the exercise of the Underwriters' Warrants, the kind and amount of shares of stock or Other Securities receivable upon such recapitalization by a holder of the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) which the holder of an Underwriters' Warrant would have had the right to have purchased immediately prior to such recapitalization.  If any consolidation or merger of the Company with another corporation, or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to another corporation, shall be effected in such a way that holders of Common Stock shall be entitled to receive stock, securities or assets with respect to or in exchange for Common Stock, then, as a condition of such consolidation, merger or sale, lawful and adequate provision shall be made whereby the holder hereof shall thereafter have the right to purchase and receive upon the basis and upon the terms and conditions specified in this Agreement and in lieu of the Units immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby, such shares of stock, securities or assets as may be issued or payable with respect to or in exchange for a number of outstanding shares of such Common Stock equal to the number of shares of such stock immediately theretofore purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the rights represented hereby had such consolidation, merger or sale not taken place, and in any such case, appropriate provision shall be made with respect to the rights and interests of the holders of Underwriters' Warrants to the end that the provisions hereof (including without limitation provisions for adjustments of the Purchase Price  and of the number of shares purchasable and receivable upon the exercise of the Underwriters' Warrants) shall thereafter be applicable, as nearly as may be, in relation to any shares of stock, securities or assets thereafter deliverable upon the exercise hereof (including an immediate adjustment, by reason of such consolidation or merger, of the Purchase Price to the value for the Common Stock reflected by the terms of such consolidation or merger if the value so reflected is less than the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such consolidation or merger).  In the event of a merger or consolidation of the Company with or into another corporation as a result of which a number of shares of common stock of the surviving corporation greater or lesser than the number of shares of Common Stock of the Company outstanding immediately prior to such merger or consolidation are issuable to holders of Common Stock of the Company, then the Purchase Price in effect immediately prior to such merger or consolidation shall be adjusted in the same manner as though there were a subdivision or combination of the outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company.  The Company will not effect any such consolidation, merger or sale, unless prior to the consummation thereof the successor corporation (if other than the Company) resulting from such consolidation or merger or the corporation purchasing such assets shall assume by written instrument executed and mailed or delivered to the registered holder hereof at the last address of such holder appearing on the books of the Company, the obligation to deliver to such holder such shares of stock, securities or assets as, in accordance with the foregoing provisions, such holder may be entitled to purchase.

(d)

Effect of Dissolution or Liquidation.  In case the Company shall dissolve or liquidate all or substantially all of its assets, all rights under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date upon which a certificate of dissolution or liquidation shall be filed with the Secretary of the State of Delaware (or, if the Company theretofore shall have been merged or consolidated with a corporation incorporated under the laws of another state, the date upon which action of equivalent effect shall have been taken); provided, however, that (i) no dissolution or liquidation shall affect the rights under Subsection 7(c) of any holder of an Underwriters' Warrant and (ii) if the Company's Board of Directors shall propose to dissolve or liquidate the Company, each holder of an Underwriters' Warrant shall be given written notice of such proposal at the earlier of (A) the time when the Company's shareholders are first given notice of the proposal or (B) the time when notice to the Company's shareholders is first required.

(e)

Notice of Change of Purchase Price.  Whenever the Purchase Price or the kind or amount of securities purchasable under the Underwriters' Warrants shall be adjusted pursuant to any of the provisions of this Agreement, the Company shall forthwith thereafter cause to be sent to each holder of an Underwriters' Warrant, a certificate setting forth the adjustments in the Purchase Price and/or in such number of shares, and also setting forth in detail the facts requiring such adjustments, including without limitation a statement of the consideration received or deemed to have been received by the Company for any additional shares of stock issued by it requiring such adjustment.  In addition, the Company at its expense shall within 90 days following the end of each of its fiscal years during the term of this Agreement, and promptly upon the reasonable request of any holder of an Underwriters' Warrant in connection with the exercise from time to time of all or any portion of any Underwriters' Warrant, cause independent certified public accountants of recognized standing selected by the Company to compute any such adjustment in accordance with the terms of the Underwriters' Warrants and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment is based.

(f)

Notice of a Record Date.  In the event of (i) any taking by the Company of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend payable out of earned surplus of the Company) or other distribution, or any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, (ii) any capital reorganization of the Company, or any reclassification or recapitalization of the capital stock of the Company, or any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of the Company to, or consolidation or merger of the Company with or into, any other person or (iii) any voluntary or involuntary dissolution or liquidation of the Company, then and in each such event the Company will mail or cause to be mailed to each holder of an Underwriters' Warrant a notice specifying not only the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right and stating the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right, but also the date on which any such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up is to take place, and the time, if any, as of which the holders of record of Common Stock (or Other Securities) shall be entitled to exchange their shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) for securities or other property deliverable upon such reorganization, reclassification, recapitalization, transfer, consolidation, merger, dissolution, liquidation or winding-up. Such notice shall be mailed at least 20 days prior to the proposed record date therein specified.

Section 4(c) hereof, an amount equal to one twelfth (1/12) of his annual Base
Salary in effect as of the date of termination.  Further, in lieu of any Incentive Bonuses to which Dr. Mollica
otherwise may have become entitled, the Company shall also pay Dr. Mollica an
amount in cash equal to the amount obtained by multiplying (x) sixty percent
(60%), times (y) Dr. Mollica’s annual Base Salary in effect as of such date of
termination, times (z) two (2).  Such
payment will be made in equal installments over the period Dr. Mollica is
receiving payments under the first sentence of this Section 4(a)(2); provided,

entitled in the year in which his resignation becomes effective, the Company
shall pay Dr. Mollica an amount in cash equal to the amount obtained by
multiplying (x) sixty percent (60%), times (y) his annual Base Salary in effect
as of such date of resignation, times (z) a fraction of which (I) the numerator
is the number of full months during which Dr. Mollica was employed during the
year of resignation and (II) the denominator is twelve (12), payable in a lump
sum on the effective date of resignation.”

 

3.  Defined Terms.  Terms defined in the Employment Agreement
and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms
in the Employment Agreement.

 

4.  Effect of Amendment.  Except as expressly amended by this
Amendment, the Employment Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in
