AGREEMENT
ARTICLE I. EXCHANGE AND EXERCISE
1.01 New Conversion Price and Agreement to Convert. On the date of this Agreement,
the conversion price of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock shall be
$0.60 per share of underlying Common Stock for each share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C
Preferred Stock,
which share of Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock shall have a value of
$10.00 per share (the “New Conversion Price”) such that each share of Series B Preferred Stock and
each share of Series C Preferred Stock shall be converted into
162/3 shares of Common Stock. On the
date of this Agreement, the Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred
Stock shall convert all the shares of the Series B Preferred Stock and the Series C Preferred Stock
into shares of Common Stock at the New Conversion Price (such shares of Common Stock issued upon
conversion being the “Series B/Series C Conversion Shares”), and the rights to receive any and all
dividends, owed or owing in any capacity, whether or not accumulated or previously declared,
pursuant to the terms of the Series B Preferred Stock and Series C Preferred Stock, on the date of
this Agreement, shall be cancelled.
1.02 Temporary Adjustment of Conversion Price. For a period of twelve (12) months
following the date hereof (the “Temporary Conversion Period”), shares of Series E Preferred Stock
shall be convertible into Common Stock at the conversion price of $0.50 per share of underlying
Common Stock for each share of Series E Preferred Stock so exchanged, which share of Series E
Preferred Stock shall have a value of $100.00 per share (the “Temporary Conversion Price”) so that
200 shares of Common Stock shall be issued for each share of Series E Preferred Stock that is
converted. Upon exercise of the Conversion Rights of the Series E Preferred Stock by the Holder of

the mandatory conversion of such Series E Preferred Stock pursuant to Section 1.03, all outstanding
shares of Series E Preferred Stock shall automatically convert into shares of Common Stock at the
Temporary Conversion Price for the Series E Preferred Stock.

Conversion Period, the Company completes, in one transaction or a series of related transactions,
the placement(s) of Common Stock for total aggregate Net Proceeds (as defined below) of at least
$7,000,000 (a “Securities Placement”), each outstanding share of Series E Preferred Stock shall
automatically convert into the corresponding number of shares of Common Stock at the Temporary
Conversion Price; however, a Securities Placement shall not include any Common Stock issued
pursuant to: (i) the conversion of any Preferred Stock, (ii) the exercise of any currently issued
and outstanding options or warrants, or (iii) any plan adopted by the Company for the purchase by,
or grant of, Common Stock in connection with any employee compensation or benefit plan of the
Company, whether now in effect or hereafter created or amended. The term “Net Proceeds” means the

banking/placement agent/financial advisor fees, valuation fees and accounting fees, and any fees,
expenses or amounts paid or payable to or for any investor as part of a Securities Placement due in
connection with the placement(s) of such Common Stock.
1.04 Deliveries Upon Execution. Upon execution of this Agreement, each Holder of
Series E Preferred Stock hereby executes and delivers a Notice of Conversion, substantially in the
form attached hereto as Exhibit A, which Notice of Conversion shall be held in escrow by
the Company and completed by the Company and become effective upon a Securities Placement, such
that the automatic conversion of the Series E Preferred Stock upon a Securities Placement shall
take place with no further action required by any Holder of Series E Preferred Stock.
1.05 Registrable Securities. The Company agrees that (a) the term “Registrable
Securities” as used in that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated December 11, 2006 (the
