following new Section 10 inserted in lieu thereof:
“10. Maximum
Exercise.
Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder
be
entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion
of
this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1) the number of shares of
Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than
shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the
ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or
unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation
on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (2) the number
of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this
Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made,
would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of any
amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock
(whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates
beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common
Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate”
means
any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with
a
person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. For purposes of the second preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder,
except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such sentence. For any
reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company
shall within one (1) business day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of any given date. The
limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the Holder upon provision
of
no less than sixty-one (61) days prior written notice to the Company and (y)
shall automatically become null and void following notice to the Company upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined
in
the Security Agreement), except that at no time shall the Company be obligated
to issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Warrant,
the
Security Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement (as defined in the Security
Agreement) if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue pursuant
to the terms of this Warrant, the Security Agreement or any other Ancillary
Agreement without violating the rules or regulations of the Principal Market
(the “Exchange
Cap”),
except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company
obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules
or
regulations of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess
of
such amount.

4. Amendment
to 2006 Option.

exercise of this Option in whole or in part, by delivery of an original or
fax
copy of an exercise notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the
“Exercise Notice”), shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment
pursuant to Section 4. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in
no
event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant
in
excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (1)
the
number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its
Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially
owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the
unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject
to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein)
and
(2) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the
portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso
is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its
Affiliates of any amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares
of
Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and
its
Affiliates beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares
of
Common Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate”
means
any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more
intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with
a
person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under
the Securities Act. For purposes of the second preceding sentence,
beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of
the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder,
except as otherwise provided in clause (1) of such sentence. For any
reason at any time, upon written or oral request of the Holder, the Company
shall within one (1) business day confirm orally and in writing to the Holder
the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding as of any given date. The
limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the Holder upon provision
of
no less than sixty-one (61) days prior written notice to the Company and (y)
shall automatically become null and void following notice to the Company upon
the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined
in
the Security Agreement), except that at no time shall the Company be obligated
to issue any shares of Common Stock pursuant to the terms of this Warrant,
the
Security Agreement or any other Ancillary Agreement (as defined in the Security
Agreement) if the issuance of such shares of Common Stock would exceed the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock which the Company may issue pursuant
to the terms of this Warrant, the Security Agreement or any other Ancillary
Agreement without violating the rules or regulations of the Principal Market
(the “Exchange
Cap”),
except that such limitation shall not apply in the event that the Company
obtains the approval of its stockholders as required by the applicable rules
or
regulations of the Principal Market for issuances of Common Stock in excess
of
such amount.
