THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises and the mutual covenants
and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto agree as

Amendment refer to sections of the Agreement.
2. Amendments. The
Company and IGT agree to amend the Agreement as follows:
a. Finalization of
Terms. Section 2 of the
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the first two sentences of such Section
as they currently appear in the Agreement in their entirety and replacing such
sentences with the following:
“In the
event that IGT and the Company do not execute definitive agreements concerning
the Settlement by September 18, 2008, then on October 30, 2008 (a) the Company
will issue to IGT 750,000 shares of its common stock, par value $.001 per share,
such shares to be duly authorized and validly issued and evidenced by a duly and
validly executed share certificate delivered to IGT on such date, and (b) IGT
will have the rights set forth below. If at any time after September
18, 2008, the Company determines to take any action to license or otherwise
dispose of any interest in any or all patents owned or controlled by the Company
that have one or more claims covering the Company’s PlayerVision-related
hardware and firmware (“PVT”) based on the Company’s
currently existing technology and patent pool, the Company will first undertake
good faith negotiations to enter into an exclusive license with IGT or its
designated affiliate on commercially reasonable terms.”
b. Exclusivity. Section 11 of the
Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the first sentence of such Section as it
currently appears in the Agreement in its entirety and replacing such first
sentence with the following:
“Except
as provided below with respect to the Xxxxxx Holdings Network, LLC transaction,
the Company hereby covenants and agrees that prior to September 18, 2008 (a) it
will not, and will not permit any of its Affiliates (as defined below) to,
initiate, solicit or encourage (including by way of furnishing information or
assistance), or take any other action to facilitate, any inquiries or the making
of any proposal relating to, or that may reasonably be expected to lead to, any
Competing Transaction (as defined below), or enter into discussions or negotiate
with any Person (as defined below) in furtherance of such inquiries or to obtain
a Competing Transaction, or endorse or agree to endorse any Competing
Transaction, or authorize or permit any of the directors, managers, officers or
employees of the Company or any investment banker, financial advisor, attorney,
accountant or other representative retained by any member of the Company or any
Affiliate of any member of the Company to take any such action; and (b) the
Company will promptly notify IGT of all relevant terms of any such inquiries and
proposals received by any member of the Company, any Affiliate of any member of
the Company or any such director, manager, officer, employee, investment banker,
financial advisor, attorney, accountant or other representative relating to any
of such matters, and if such inquiry or proposal is in writing, the Company will
promptly deliver or cause to be delivered to IGT a copy of such inquiry or
proposal.”

other terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in full force and effect
without modification.

Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be
deemed to be an original, but all of which, when taken together, will constitute
one and the same instrument.

the event that any one or more of the provisions contained in this Amendment or
in any other instrument referred to herein is, for any reason, held to be
