Company has agreed to file a proxy or information statement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange
Commission (the “SEC”) and obtain such approvals of the Company’s shareholders as may be
required to increase the Company’s authorized capital stock to allow for the reservation of shares
upon exercise of the Unreserved Warrants, and to otherwise comply with its obligation to maintain
minimum authorized capital reserves under the terms and conditions of the DOF Purchase Agreement,
the August Purchase Agreement and the February Purchase Agreement, including maintaining reserves
for the Interest Shares.

prepare and file with the SEC a preliminary information statement on Schedule 14C; (b) the Company

preliminary information statement on Schedule 14C will not be reviewed (the “Mailing
Date”), prepare and file with the SEC, and mail to all of the Company’s shareholders, a
definitive information statement on Schedule 14C; provided, however, that if the preliminary
information statement on Schedule 14C is reviewed by the SEC, then the “Mailing Date” shall be
twenty days after receipt of comments from the SEC; and (c) on
or prior to September 17, 2008 (the
“Approval Date”), (i) the shareholders of the Company and the Board of Directors of the
Company shall have approved, at a meeting or by written consent, an amendment to the Company’s
Articles of Incorporation increasing the number of authorized shares of Common Stock from
50,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares (such amendment, the “Charter Amendment”), (ii) the
Company shall have filed the Charter Amendment with the Secretary of State of the State of Nevada,
and (iii) the Board of Directors of the Company shall, by written consent or at a meeting, shall
have authorized, reserved and set-aside for the purpose of issuance, no less than 130% of the sum
of the number of shares of Common Stock issuable (x) as Interest Shares pursuant to the terms of
the DOF Note, the February Note, and the August Note, (y) upon conversion of each of the DOF Note,
the February Note, and the August Note, and (z) upon exercise of the DOF Warrant, the February
Warrant, the August

limitations on the conversion of such notes or exercise of such warrants set forth in such notes
and warrants, respectively). In taking the foregoing actions, the Company shall comply with the
filing and disclosure requirements of Section 14 under the 1934 Act, Nevada law, and any applicable
rules or regulations of the Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board. The Company acknowledges and agrees
to promptly respond to any comments from the SEC on the preliminary information statement on
Schedule 14C.

Date, any event set forth in clause (b) of Section 1 above has not occurred by the Mailing Date, or
any event set forth in clause (c) of Section 1 above has not occurred by the Approval Date (any
such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and the date on which such Event

may have hereunder or under applicable law or any other agreement (including any rights Castlerigg
may have under the notes upon a default), on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary
of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the
applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to DOF an amount in cash equal to one and one half
percent (1.5%) of the aggregate principal amount of DOF’s Note (in each case, a “Payment”).
In the event the Company fails to make Payments in a timely manner, such Payments shall bear
interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month (prorated for partial months)
until paid in full.

rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages or a declaration of a

any losses incurred by reason of a breach by it of any of the provisions of this Agreement and
hereby further agrees that, in the event of any action for specific performance in respect of such
breach, it shall not assert or shall waive the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

respective successors and assigns, including any purchasers of the notes or the warrants referred
to above. The Company shall not assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder
without the prior written consent of DOF. DOF may assign some or all of its rights hereunder
without the consent of the
-3-
Company, in which event such assignee shall have the same rights as DOF
hereunder with respect to such assigned rights.
(e) Execution and Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more
counterparts, all of which when taken together shall be considered one and the same agreement and
shall become effective when counterparts have been signed by each party and delivered to the other
party, it being understood that both parties need not sign the same counterpart. In the event that
any signature is delivered by facsimile transmission or by e-mail delivery of a “.pdf” format data
file, such signature shall create a valid and binding obligation of the party executing (or on
whose behalf such signature is executed) with the same force and effect as if such facsimile or
“.pdf” signature page were an original thereof.
(f) Governing Law. All questions concerning the construction, validity, enforcement
and interpretation of this Agreement shall be governed by the internal laws of the State of New
York, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of
the State of New York or any other jurisdictions) that would cause the application of the laws of
