“June 30 Fully Diluted Debenture

Equity Dilution
Adjustment to Number of Warrants. In consideration of
the terms hereof, so long as any of the Debentures or Bridge Notes remain
outstanding, anytime that the Company issues equity securities or
securities that are convertible or exchangeable into equity securities (as
applicable, a “Triggering
Issuance”), regardless of whether or not such securities were
previously identified as Exempt Issuances, and immediately following any
such offering, the sum of the Included Holder’s Fully Diluted Amounts for
all of the Included Holders, in the aggregate, is less than 70% (subject
to adjustment to 65% if required pursuant to Section 30(d) hereof) of the
then fully diluted number of shares of common stock of the Company, the
Company shall issue (the “70% Antidilution
Issuance”) to each Included Holder a number of warrants (the “Makeup Warrants”) equal
to (a) the Included Holder’s Antidilution Issuance Pro Rata Portion of the

adjustment are intended to supersede those contained in the Securities
Purchase Agreement to the extent set forth herein. It is
understood that each of the following shall constitute an Exempt Issuance
(as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreements): (a) the issuance of
the Bridge Notes to the Bridge Lenders; (b) the adjustments to the
exercise price and amount of the Total Warrants described in this
agreement; and (c) the issuance of any Makeup Warrants pursuant to this
agreement.
|
12
It is
further understood that any issuance of shares of common stock, warrants,
securities convertible or exchangeable into common stock or options to
employees, officers, directors or consultants of the Company shall be subject to
the 70% Antidilution Issuance calculation above and not considered an Exempt
Issuance (as further defined in the Securities Purchase Agreements) for the
purpose of this section and calculating the 70% Antidilution Issuance only. It
is also understood that the rights afforded to the Company under the definition
of Exempt Issuance in each of the Securities Purchase Agreements remain,
provided that no right is granted hereby to issue any securities which the
Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreements)
otherwise prohibit.
It is
expressly understood that, except as specifically set forth herein, this section
does not modify the full ratchet anti-dilution rights (including but not limited
to Section 5 of the Debenture and Section 3 of the Warrants) currently afforded
to the Holders of the existing Debentures and Warrants (as defined
herein). The exempt issuances under Section 5 (b) of the
Debentures are not exempt for the purposes of the 70% calculation
above.
The
Makeup Warrants shall be in the same form as the original Warrants issued,
except that the Exercise Price of the Makeup Warrants shall equal the lesser of
(i) $0.01, or (ii) the issuance price per share of the equity securities that
triggered the issuance of the Makeup Warrants (the “Triggering Issuance”) or (iii)
the Market Price on the date of the Triggering Issuance, where “Market Price” shall mean the
average of the VWAPs for the 10 consecutive trading days immediately preceding
the date of the Triggering Issuance, and the “Termination Date” of each
Makeup Warrant shall be five (5) years from its date of
issuance. Each of the Transaction Documents is hereby amended such
that any reference to “Warrants” therein shall include the Makeup Warrants and
any reference to “Warrant Shares” shall include the shares issuable upon
exercise of the Makeup Warrants, provided that, for purposes of the Registration
Rights Agreement (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreements), the
references to “Warrants” and “Warrant Shares” shall not include the Makeup
Warrants and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Makeup
Warrants.

Additional Covenants
to the Debenture.
|
(a) The
section entitled “Section 9 Additional Covenants”
which was added to each of the Debentures pursuant to the March 2009 Amendment
is hereby amended and replaced with the following:
“Section 9 Additional Covenants.
The Company agrees to abide by the following additional
covenants. Such covenants will remain effective so long as any of the
Debentures remain outstanding:
a)
Accounts payable and accrued liabilities (excluding accrued interest) shall not
exceed $2,500,000 (excluding the $1,000,000
payable that may be incurred if the targets are met as set forth in Section 7(b)
of the Amendment to Debentures and Warrants, Agreement and Waiver by and between
the Company, the Holders and various other parties dated on or about May 15,
2009 (the “May 2009 Amendment”)) at the date here of through the earlier of (i)
the date that the Company has been awarded Stimulus Contracts (as defined in the
May 2009 Agreement) totaling $20,000,000, or (ii) May 1, 2010, whichever comes
first.
13
b)
By October 1, 2009, the Company shall book $20,000,000 in new Stimulus Contracts
(as such term is defined in the May 2009 Amendment Agreement). evidenced by signed
purchase orders or contracts which, by their terms, are to be fulfilled by
October 1, 2010, provided that so long as the initial contract terms provide for
the orders or contracts to be fulfilled by October 1, 2010, any such contract
may be extended at the vendor’s request.
c)
The Company shall not, without the written approval of the 75% in principal
amount of the then outstanding Debentures, deviate from the expenditures allowed
by the Agreed Use of Proceeds Schedule or from the cash flow figures set forth
in the Quarterly Budget Forecast (in the form attached to
the May 2009 Amendment as Schedule D). The Company represents that
the cash flow figures set forth in the Quarterly Budget Forecast accurately
reflect the cost of operating the business within the variance
specified.
d)
The Company shall maintain a total cash balance of no less than $250,000 at all
times from the date hereof through the earlier of (i) the date that the Company
has been awarded Stimulus Contracts totaling $20,000,000, or (ii) May 1, 2010,
whichever comes first.
e)
The Company shall have a monthly operating cash burn rate of no more than
$125,000 for each month from the date hereof through the earlier of (i) the date
that the Company has been awarded Stimulus Contracts totaling $20,000,000, or
(ii) May 1, 2010, whichever comes first. Operating cash burn is defined by
taking consolidated net income (or loss) and adding back all non-cash items, and
excludes changes in assets, liabilities and financing activities. (i.e. the top
section of the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows as publicly reported in the
Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements).
f)
The Company shall have a minimum current ratio of 1.25 to 1 at all times from
the date hereof through the earlier of (i) the date that the Company has been
awarded Stimulus Contracts totaling $20,000,000, or (ii) May 1, 2010, whichever
comes first. This calculation is to be made by excluding accrued interest
and current portions of notes payable from current liabilities as well as the
$450,000 notes payable and $253,253 liability for purchase price related to the
Xxxxxx Group. In the event that the Company fails to comply with any of
the covenants set forth in this Section 9 above (a “Covenant Failure”), such
failure shall constitute an Event of Default under the November 0000 Xxxxxxxxx
and the December 2007 Debenture. The Company shall notify the debt
holders of the existence of an Event of Default or any Covenant Failure within
two (2) business days of the Company’s knowledge of any Event of Default or
Covenant Failure.
14
(b) Breach of Covenants as an
Event of Default. In consideration of the terms hereof,
the Company and the Holders agree that it shall constitute an “Event of Default”
pursuant to each of the Debentures if the Company shall fail to observe any
covenant or other agreement set forth in this Agreement which is not cured
within twenty (20) days of such failure (an “Amendment Agreement
Default”).
14.
|
Amendments. No
provision of this Agreement may be waived or amended except in a written
instrument signed by the Company and by the Existing Holders holding 75%
of the principal amount of the outstanding Debentures. No
waiver of any default with respect to any provision, condition or
requirement of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a continuing waiver in
the future or a waiver of any subsequent default or a waiver of any other
provision, condition or requirement hereof, nor shall any delay or
omission of either party to exercise any right hereunder in any manner
impair the exercise of any such
right.
|
15.
|
Capitalization. The
capitalization of the Company as of the date hereof, immediately following
and accounting for the effectiveness of this Agreement and including the
Increased Amount of Warrants, is as set forth on Schedule “E”,

owned beneficially, and of record, by Affiliates of the Company as of the
date hereof.
|
16.
|
Increase in Authorized
Shares. In addition to, and in no way amending or
waiving any existing obligations of the Company under the Transaction
Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreements,
respectively), the Company shall hold a shareholders meeting and put
before the shareholders a proposal to increase authorized shares from to
an amount equal to 150% of the post-transaction fully diluted
capitalization of the Company, following the requirements set forth in the
Company’s by-laws, on or before June 30, 2009. The Company shall use its
best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such
authorized number of shares as soon as possible, and in any event by
October 1, 2009 (the “Authorization Increase
Deadline”). Attached hereto as Schedule “F” is
a pro forma schedule, assuming that the maximum of $2,500,000 of Bridge
Notes are issued (but not accounting for the interest that would have
accrued on the Debentures after May 1, 2009), of (i) the number of shares
of Common Stock underlying the Debentures and Warrants that would be held
by each Holder, (ii) the number of shares of Common Stock required to be
reserved under the Debentures, Bridge Notes and Warrants held by each
Included Holder, (iii) the number of shares of Common Stock that would be
required to be reserved under the Bridge Notes and the associated
Warrants, and (iv) the actual number of shares of Common Stock reserved
for each Included Holder’s Debenture(s) and Warrants (in each case, after
giving effect to the amendments
hereunder).
|
15
Upon the
receipt of such stockholder approval, or beginning on the Authorization Increase
Deadline, whichever is sooner, the Company shall reserve for issuance to the
Holders the number of authorized shares (the “Reserved Amount”) as
otherwise required under the Transaction Documents. The “Required Minimum” (as defined
under both Securities Purchase Agreements) shall be allocated ratably among the
then-outstanding Debentures and Warrants held by the Holders and their
respective assigns. Nothing herein shall be deemed a waiver or an
amendment to the Company’s requirements to reserve authorized and unissued
shares of Common Stock for the Securities then held by any Holder or its
respective assigns as required under the Transaction Documents.
