WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 9 of the

other securities convertible into common stock at a price less than the current
exercise price of the Xxxxx Warrants, the exercise price of the Xxxxx Warrants
shall be reduced to such lower price and the number of Xxxxx Warrant Shares
shall be increased based upon a formula set forth in such section;
WHEREAS, the Company (a) has authorized

price of $.30 per share of common stock (the “New Warrants”), has authorized the

stock at a price of $.12 per share, and (c) has agreed to reduce the exercise
price of certain options (the “Xxxxx Options”) issued to its President to $.12
per share;
WHEREAS, Xxxxx has agreed to limit the
application of Section 9 of the Xxxxx Warrants which would otherwise apply as a
result of the issuance of the New Warrants and the Note, and as a result of the
reduction of the exercise price of the Xxxxx Option.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the
mutual covenants herein, it is agreed as follows:
1. Reduced Exercise
Price. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Xxxxx Warrants, upon issuance of the
New Warrants and the Note, the exercise price of the Xxxxx Warrants shall be
reduced from $1.00 to $.12 per share and the number of Xxxxx Warrant Shares
shall be increased from 333,333 to 2,033,333;
2. Limited
Waiver. Xxxxx hereby waives any
further or additional increase in the number of Xxxxx Warrant Shares, which
would otherwise occur under Section 9, as a result of the issuance of the Note
or New Warrants or as a result of the reduction of the exercise price of the
Xxxxx Options.
