Exhibit A (“Note”), duly executed on behalf of the Company and dated as of the Loan
Closing Date.
2.2 [This Section Intentionally Omitted.]
2.3 Interest. The Loan shall bear interest (“Interest”) from the date of
payment by the Lender until the Maturity Date at the Interest Rate (calculated on the basis of the
actual number of days elapsed over a year of 360 days). Interest is payable by the Company on a
monthly basis in arrears on the first Business Day of the month. Notwithstanding anything to the

2.5 Maturity Date. Unless the Loan is earlier accelerated pursuant to the terms
hereof, the Loan and all accrued Interest thereon shall be due and payable in full on the date (the

the indebtedness then due hereunder. In the event that the Merger is not consummated within one
hundred eighty (180) days after the Loan Closing Date, the Lender may, at the Lender’s option and
acting in its sole and absolute discretion, extend the Maturity Date on such terms and conditions
as determined by the Lender in its sole and absolute discretion.

operations and the use of its properties and assets do not, and during the term of this Agreement
shall not, violate or conflict with in any material respect any applicable law, statute, ordinance,
rule, regulation or order of any kind or nature.
4.7 Absence of Conflicts. The execution, delivery and performance by the Company of
this Agreement, the Note and the Security Agreement, and the transactions contemplated hereby and
thereby, do not constitute a breach or default, or require consents under, any agreement, permit,
contract or other instrument to which the Company is a party, or by which the Company is bound or

Company’s Confidential Private Placement Memorandum dated June 1, 2005, or any of its
representations, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or is misleading in any material
respect or omits to state any material fact. Copies of all documents referred to herein have been
- 4 -
delivered or made available to the Lender and constitute true and complete copies thereof and
include all amendments, schedules, appendices, supplements or modifications thereto or waivers
thereunder.
4.10 Financial Statements. The financial statements of the Company included in
Exhibit A to its Confidential Private Offering Memorandum dated June 1, 2005 are complete and
correct, have been prepared from the books and records of the Company in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles consistently applied throughout the periods involved, except for
changes specified therein and except that unaudited financial statements are not accompanied by
notes, and present fairly the financial condition, results of operations, shareholders’ equity and
changes in financial position of the Company and its consolidated Subsidiaries as of the dates
thereof and for the periods specified therein. Except as set forth in the balance sheet as of
March 31, 2005 included in such financial statements or incurred in the ordinary course of business
since March 31, 2005, and except for outstanding Convertible Promissory Notes aggregating $325,000

otherwise have been, or will be, terminated.
4.13 Lender Security Interest. Assuming the filing of the Lender’s Form UCC-1
Financing Statement with the Delaware Secretary of State’s Office on or prior to the date hereof,
the Lender holds a perfected security interest in the Collateral (as defined in the Security
Agreement) that is junior only to the security interests of Itochu International, Inc. and The

the Note or the Security Agreement, which, if capable of being cured, is not cured within three

(c) the failure of the Public Company Parent to issue the Warrant to the Lender at the closing

within any applicable cure period, the Lender may elect, by written notice delivered to the
Company, to take any or all of the following actions: (i) declare this Agreement terminated and
the outstanding amounts under the Note to be forthwith due and payable, whereupon the entire unpaid

the Note or the Security Agreement to the contrary notwithstanding, and (ii) exercise any and all

ARTICLE 7
WARRANT
WARRANT
7.1 Issuance of Warrant. The Company shall cause the merger agreement for the Merger
between the Company and Public Company Parent to include a covenant of the Parent Company Parent
that it will issue to the Lender at the closing of the Merger a Common Stock Purchase Warrant (the
“Warrant”) in the form attached hereto as Exhibit D, appropriately completed as
follows:
- 8 -
(a) The number of shares for which the Warrant shall be exercisable shall be equal to: (i)
550,000, multiplied by (ii) a fraction, the numerator of which is $1.00 and the denominator or
which is the lesser of $1.00 and the Lowest Price (the “Sale Price”);
(b) The Initial Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) shall be 80% of the Sale Price
(rounded down to the nearest cent);
(c) The date shall be the closing date of the Merger.
For purposes of this Agreement, the “Lowest Price” shall mean the lowest price per share at
which the Public Company Parent or the Company issues Equity Securities after the date hereof and
within 30 days following the close of the Merger, excluding (i) common stock issued upon conversion
of up to $600,000 of bridge loans at not less than $.80 per share obtained by the Company after
June 1, 2005; (ii) shares issued upon exercise of options or warrants outstanding as of June 1,
2005 or granted after June 1, 2005 at not less than $1.00 per share; (iii) shares issued to
consultants pursuant to obligations existing as of June 1, 2005; and (iv) shares issued as part of
the Merger. In determining the price at which the Company issues shares prior to or within 30 days
after the Merger, for purposes of determining the “Lowest Price,” the actual price at which the
Company issues shares shall be adjusted by dividing the actual price by the conversion ratio in the
Merger. Thus, if each share of Company Common Stock is converted into 100 shares of Parent Company
common stock in the Merger (a ratio of 100-to-1), a new price shall be determined by dividing the
actual price by 100. By means of example, if the Company issued Common Stock for $0.80 per share
and the conversion ratio were 100-to-1, the price at which the Company issued the Common Stock, for
purposes of determining the Lowest Price, would be deemed to be $0.80.
If the Company completes the Merger and the Public Company Parent issues its common stock for
$1.00 per share as contemplated by the Confidential Private Offering Memorandum dated June 1, 2005,
and neither the Company nor the Public Company Parent issues any Equity Securities at a price (or
deemed price) of less than $1.00 per share within the time periods specified in the preceding
paragraph (other than excluded issuances in the preceding paragraph), the number of Warrants issued
would be 550,000 and the Initial Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) would be $0.80.
7.2 Public Company Parent Issuance. The Company shall cause the Public Company Parent
to issue the Warrant to the Lender as the closing of the Merger.
7.3 Warrant Obligations. The Company shall cause the Parent Company Parent to comply
on timely basis with each and every obligation under the Warrant and each Additional Warrant (as
defined in the Warrant).
7.4 Failure to Complete Merger. If the Merger has not been completed by the Maturity
Date, upon the Maturity Date the Company shall issue to the Lender, without payment or further
consideration: (i) a number of shares of its Common Stock equal to 10% of the Fully Diluted Shares
Outstanding as of the Maturity Date plus (ii) for each series of preferred stock outstanding at the
Maturity Date, a number of shares of such series of preferred stock equal to 10% of the number of
the number of shares of such series of preferred stock outstanding at the
- 9 -
Maturity Date. “Fully Diluted Shares Outstanding” shall mean the sum of the number of shares
of Common Stock outstanding plus the maximum number of shares of Common Stock that may be issued
upon exercise or conversion (with or without consideration) of outstanding options, warrants, and
convertible securities, and other rights to acquire Common Stock or securities convertible into
Common Stock, but excluding outstanding convertible preferred stock. Upon issuance of the stock,
the Lender shall no longer be entitled to a Warrant under Section 7.1 of this Agreement.
7.5 Registration Rights. The Lender shall have piggyback registration rights
comparable to those set forth in the Warrant for: (a) any shares of Common Stock issued to the
Lender under Section 7.4 of this Agreement and (b) any shares of Common Stock into which preferred
stock issued to Lender under Section 7.4 may be converted. As promptly as practicable following
the issuance to the Lender of such shares, but in no event later than 30 days following the
Maturity Date, the Company and Lender shall enter into a registration rights agreement evidencing
such registration rights, which agreement shall be in form and substance satisfactory to the
Lender.
