2. The Company and the Purchaser hereby agree to amend the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement to include a new Section 17 and a new Section 18, which will read in their entirety as follows.

Section 17. Voting Rights.

The Company, the Purchaser and each subsequent holder of the Series A Preferred Stock hereby agrees to enter into a voting agreement with respect to the voting of the Series A Preferred Stock.

(a) The Certificate of Designation currently provides, among other things: Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Corporation’s Common Stock, including with respect to the election of directors of the Corporation, on an as is if converted basis based on the Conversion Rate in effect on the record date of such vote.

(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of the Certificate of Designation set forth above, The Company, the Purchaser and each subsequent holder of the Series A Preferred Stock hereby agree that the holders of Series A Preferred Stock:

(i) may only vote, in the manner elected by the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock, on an as is if converted basis based upon the Voting Conversion Rate (defined below) in effect on the record date of such vote; and

(ii) shall not vote, and shall take such action as is deemed reasonable necessary to evidence its abstention from voting with respect to, such number of votes as is determined by the difference between; (a) the votes entitled to cast on an as if converted basis based on the Conversion Rate (as such term is defined in the Certificate of Designation) in effect on the record date of the vote; and (b) the votes entitled to be cast on an as is if converted basis based upon the Voting Conversion Rate (defined below) in effect on the record date of such vote.

to time hereunder, the “Voting Conversion Rate”). The Voting Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time in the same manner and under the same circumstances as the Conversion Rate is adjusted pursuant to the Certificate of Designation.

(d) The Company, the Purchaser and each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock acknowledges and agrees the provisions of Section 17 of the Agreement will not be materially amended or modified unless the NASDAQ shall have been provided notice in writing of such amendment or modification.

Section 18. Amendment of Certificate of Designation

(a) The Company, the Purchaser and each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock irrevocably commits to use their reasonable efforts to amend the Company’s Certificate of Designation (before September 1, 2005) to reduce the voting rights of the Series A Preferred Stock as described below. More specifically, the Company, the Purchaser and each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock agree, subject to the requisite approvals of the Company’s Board of Directors and holders of Common Stock, to amend and restate Section 11 of the Certificate of Designation to read in its entirety as follows (new language appears in italics) (the “Amendment”) (and each holder of Series A Preferred Stock irrevocably commits to vote in favor of the Amendment):

Holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to vote on all matters submitted to a vote of the holders of the Corporation’s Common Stock, including with respect to the election of directors of the Corporation, on an as if converted basis based on the Voting Conversion Rate (defined below) in effect on the record date of such vote. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall initially be entitled to cast 86 votes (as adjusted from time to time hereunder, the “Voting Conversion Rate”). The Voting Conversion Rate shall be adjusted from time to time in the same manner and under the same circumstances as the Conversion Rate is adjusted. Notwithstanding the voting group rights set forth in Section 23B.11.035 of the WBCA, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not have, by virtue of the WBCA or this Section 11, the right to vote separately as a series on any proposed plan of merger or plan of share exchange. Except as otherwise provided herein, to the maximum extent permitted by law, holders of Series A Preferred Stock will not have any rights to vote separately as a series with respect to any matter submitted to a vote of the holders of the Corporation’s outstanding securities.

(b) The Company, the Purchaser and each holder of the Series A Preferred Stock agree that if the Board of Directors of the Company determines that it does not have the unilateral right and power to amend the Certificate of Designation as described above without the consent of the holders of the Company’s Common Stock, the Company will use its reasonable efforts to, at the next regularly scheduled meeting of shareholders, seek such consent from the holders of the Company’s Common Stock. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to hold such meeting, and file the Amendment, before September 1, 2005

PREFERRED STOCK PURCHASE AGREEMENT

(c) The obligations of the Company, the Purchaser and the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock under this Section 18 shall terminate once all of the Series A Preferred Stock is converted into Common Stock.

3. Except as previously amended herein, the Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without amendment or modification.
