within 120 days of the date hereof, the Company shall, upon the completion of
the Offering, as hereinafter defined, issue to Xxxx Xxxxxx Financial, a

warrants may be exercised on a cashless basis. Subject to the applicable rules
and regulations and interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
including, without limitation, Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, the
shares of common stock issuable upon exercise of the aforementioned warrants
will also be granted piggy-back registration rights until and unless such shares
may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933. Upon the completion of a private placement of the
securities of the Company commencing in August 2008, pursuant to which at least
$8,000,000 in gross proceeds is raised for the Company though the direct efforts
of Xxxx Xxxxxx Financial, Xxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx Financial shall receive Four Hundred
Thousand Dollars ($400,000) from the proceeds of the private

Original Agreement is amended and restated as follows:
“4.

(i)
Fee. Upon the execution of this Agreement, Xxxx Xxxxxx Financial and
the Company will structure offerings of the Company’s securities, on such terms
and conditions as are mutually agreed to and thereafter, Xxxx Xxxxxx Financial
shall use its best efforts to raise the Company gross proceeds of up to
Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000 ). It is presently
contemplated that offering will be made in one (1) tranche (the “Financing” or
“Offering”) as follows: up
to 80 Units of the Company’s securities, at $125,000 per Unit, each Unit
consisting of 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and a warrant to
purchase 100,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at $2.50 per share
(“Investor Warrants”). In connection with the Financing, Xxxx Xxxxxx Financial
compensation shall be as follows:
| (a) | a ten (10%) percent commission and a three (3%) percent non-accountable expense allowance on all funds raised in the Offering. | |
| (b) | Upon the exercise of the Investor Warrants, all or in part, Xxxx Xxxxxx Financial will receive ten (10%) percent commission of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of the Warrants and three percent (3%), of the gross proceeds received by the Company from the exercise of the Warrants, non accountable expense allowance. | |
|
(c)
|
Xxxx
Xxxxxx Financial will also be issued one share of Common Stock for every
four Investor Warrants that are exercised within 12 months of the date on
which the registration statement registering the resale of the Common
Stock issuable upon the exercise of such Investor Warrants has been
declared effective by the Securities and Exchange
Commission. Subject to the applicable rules and regulations and
interpretations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, including,
without limitation, Rule 415 under the Securities Act of 1933, the shares
issued pursuant to this Subsection will also be granted
piggy-back registration rights until and unless such shares may be sold
pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act of
1933.

Tail. Xxxx Xxxxxx Financial shall be entitled to the fee
described above, including warrants, calculated in the manner provided herein
with respect to any subsequent public or private offering or other financing or
capital-raising transaction of any kind (“Subsequent Financing”) to the extent
that such financing or capital is provided to the Company, or to any affiliate
of the Company, by investors whom Xxxx Xxxxxx Financial had introduced, directly
or indirectly, to the Company during the Term of this Agreement (such investors
shall be agreed upon by Xxxx Xxxxxx Financial and the Company and listed on
Exhibit A hereto, which Exhibit A may be revised from time to time upon the
agreement of Xxxx Xxxxxx Financial and the Company, which agreement may consist
of an exchange of electronic mail) if such Subsequent Financing is consummated
at any time within the 18-month period following the expiration or termination
of this Agreement (the “Tail Period”).
(iii) Securities
Matters. The Company shall be responsible for any and all compliance
with the securities laws applicable to it, including Regulation D and the
Securities Act of 1933, and Rule 506 promulgated thereunder, and unless
otherwise agreed in writing, all state securities (“blue sky”) laws. Xxxx Xxxxxx
