Defined terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Purchase Agreement (as defined below).
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated June 29, 2007 (the “ Purchase Agreement”), among the Company, the Holders and the other investors signatory thereto, the Company issued the investors thereunder shares of Series A 7% Convertible Preferred Stock (the “ Preferred Stock”) and warrants exercisable for shares of Common Stock (the “Warrants”); and
WHEREAS, the Company has requested that the Holders of the Preferred Stock waive their right to an anti-dilution adjustment in connection with a proposed financing transaction;
WHEREAS, in consideration of the Holders’ waiver of such anti-dilution adjustment, the Company and the Holders have agreed to exchange the Warrants for shares of Common Stock, and amend certain provisions of the Transaction Documents pursuant to the terms hereunder.
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, each Holder hereby agrees as follows:
1.
Amendments and other Agreements.
(a)
Reduction of Exercise Price and Immediate Cashless Exercise of Warrants. In consideration of the Holders’ waiver of the anti-dilution adjustment of their Preferred Stock as discussed in Section 1(b) below, the parties hereby agree: (i) pursuant to Section 5(l) of the Warrant, to amend Section 2(c) of the Warrant to add the following sentence at the end thereof: “In addition, the Holder may exercise this Warrant on a cashless basis pursuant to the terms of that certain Waiver, Amendment and Exchange Agreement, dated June 19, 2009, between the Holder and the Company”; and (ii) to allow an immediate cashless exercise of the Warrants pursuant to the amended Section 2(c) such that the Company shall issue to each Holder, for no cash or other consideration, shares of Common Stock, in the individual amounts set forth on Annex Ahereto (the “Exchange Shares”). Such Exchange Shares shall be issued without any legends or restrictions, electronically, pursuant to the DTC instructions included on the Holder’s signature page hereto, within 3 Trading Days from the date hereof. For clarity, the Purchase Agreement and all Transaction Documents thereunder are hereby amended so that the term “Securities” includes the Exchange Shares. Each Holder acknowledges and agrees that upon the issuance and acceptance of the Exchange Shares pursuant to this Section, the original certificate evidencing its Warrants will be deemed cancelled.
(b)
Amendments to the Purchase Agreement. The following new clause is added as clause (d) to the definition of “Exempt Issuance” in the Purchase Agreement and the Certificate of Designation: “(d) shares of Common Stock issued in exchange for certain Warrants issued hereunder in accordance with the terms of that certain waiver,

Except as specifically set forth herein, the terms of the Registration Rights Agreement shall govern the right of the Holder with respect to the Exchange Shares.
3.
Miscellaneous.
(a)
The foregoing waivers and amendments shall not be effective unless and until Holders representing at least 85% in interest of the currently outstanding Securities shall have agreed to the terms and conditions hereunder. In addition, the respective obligations, amendments, agreements and waivers of the Holders hereunder are subject to the following conditions being met: (a) the accuracy in all material respects of the representations and warranties of the Company contained herein (except for those representations and warranties that are qualified by materiality or Material Adverse Effect, which shall be true and correct in all respects) and (b) the performance by the Company of all if its obligations, covenants and agreements required to be performed hereunder. Except as expressly set forth above, all of the terms and conditions of the Transaction Documents shall continue in full force and effect after the execution of this Agreement and shall not be in any way changed, modified or superseded by the terms set forth herein. The Company shall, within 1 Trading Days of the date hereof, file a Current Report on Form 8-K disclosing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and shall attach this Agreement (the “ 8-K Filing”). From and after the filing of
3
the 8-K Filing with the Commission, the Holder shall not be in possession of any material, nonpublic information received from the Company, any of its Subsidiaries or any of their respective officers, directors, employees or agents, that is not disclosed in the 8-K Filing. The Company shall consult with the Holders in issuing any other press releases with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby.
(b)
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts and by facsimile signature or otherwise, and each of such counterparts shall be deemed an original and all of such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
(c)
The Company has elected to provide all Holders with the same terms and form of agreement for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by the Holders. The obligations of each Holder under this Agreement, and any Transaction Document are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance or non-performance of the obligations of any other Holder under this Agreement or any Transaction Document. Nothing contained herein or in any Transaction Document, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant thereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group with respect to such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or the Transaction Documents. Each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including without limitation, the rights arising out of this Agreement or out of the other Transaction Documents, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose. Each Holder has been represented by its own separate legal counsel in their review and negotiation of this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.
(d)
Except for $5,000 for the legal fees and expenses of Enable Capital Management, which shall be paid by the Company on or before the date hereof, each party shall pay the fees and expenses of its advisers, counsel, accountants and other experts, if any, and all other expenses incurred by such party incident to the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement. The Company shall pay all stamp and other taxes and duties levied in connection with the issuance of the Exchange Shares.
(e)
If any provision of this Agreement is prohibited by law or otherwise determined to be invalid or unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, the provision that would otherwise be prohibited, invalid or unenforceable shall be deemed amended to apply to the broadest extent that it would be valid and enforceable, and the invalidity or unenforceability of such provision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement so long as this Agreement as so modified continues to express, without material change, the original intentions of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and the prohibited nature, invalidity or unenforceability of the provision(s) in question does not substantially impair the respective expectations or reciprocal obligations of the parties or the practical realization of the benefits that would
4
otherwise be conferred upon the parties. The parties will endeavor in good faith negotiations to replace the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with a valid provision(s), the effect of which comes as close as possible to that of the prohibited, invalid or unenforceable provision(s).
