As a result of Xxxxxxxx becoming a full time employee of the Company as of December 20, 2008, resigning as an officer and director of WSR and transferring his shares of WSR back to it, certain agreements are necessary with respect to 100,000 warrants previously issued by the Company to WSR and the 650,000 options.

We respect to the 650,000 options, 150,000 options shall remain beneficially owned by WSR and 500,000 options are by this letter agreement transferred to Xxxxxxxx. The 150,000 options remaining with WSR are fully vested notwithstanding any prior agreement.

The reference to the granting to WSR of 150,000 warrants exercisable at $0.47 per share was based upon scriveners’ errors and should have referred to the transfer of the 150,000 options as set forth above.
In all other respects, the WSR Agreement is ratified and confirmed.
Please sign a copy of this letter agreement evidencing your intent to be bound by its terms.
