     C. The Company issued an amended and restated promissory note (the “Promissory Note”) to Buyer for the principal amount of $305,000 at a rate of 5% per annum, as of March 8, 2007 (the “Loan”).

     D. Buyer desires to purchase and the Company desires to issue and sell, upon the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, 38,125 Units (the “Company Units”) for an aggregate purchase price of Three Hundred Five Thousand Dollars ($305,000) (the “Buyer Purchase Price”).

     E. Buyer wishes to use the outstanding principal balance of the loan as payment for the Company Units and to forego the accrued interest on the loan upon the closing.
