of the Shares, hereby agree to amend the Securities Purchase Agreement, the
Registration Rights Agreement and the Escrow Agreement as follows:
1. Amendment of
Section 4.12 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. Any liquidated damages
incurred by the Company that is payable to the Investors pursuant to Section
4.12 of the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be waived in its entirety and
Section 4.12 of the Securities Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated
d in its entirety to read as follows:
“4.12
Independent Board of Directors. The Company covenants and
agrees that no later than 120 days following the Closing Date, the Board of
Directors of the Company shall be comprised of a minimum of five members, a
majority of which shall be “independent directors” as such term is defined in
NASDAQ Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15). The Company agrees that $1,000,000 (the
“Board Holdback Escrow Amount”) shall be held
in Escrow pursuant to the Escrow Agreement until such time as the Company
complies with this obligation.”
2. Amendment of
Section 2(f) of the Registration Rights Agreement. Section
2(f) of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its
entirety to read as follows:
“(f) If:
(i) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its applicable Filing
Date covering the Registrable Securities required under this Agreement to be
included therein (if the Company files a Registration Statement without
affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as
required by Section 3(a) hereof, the Company shall not be deemed to have
satisfied this clause (i)), or (ii) a Registration Statement is not declared
effective by the Commission on or prior to its required Effectiveness Date or if
by the third Business Day immediately following the applicable Effective Date
the Company shall not have filed a “final” prospectus for the Registration
Statement with the Commission under Rule 424(b), in accordance with Section
2(a), (b), (c), (d) or (e) herein, as the case may be, (whether or not such a
prospectus is technically required by such Rule), or (iii) after its applicable
Effective Date, without regard for the reason thereunder or efforts therefore,
such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to be effective and available
to the Holders as to all the Registrable Securities to which it is required to
cover at any time prior to the expiration of its Effectiveness Period for more
than an aggregate of thirty (30) Trading Days (which need not be consecutive)
(any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of
clauses (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of
clause (iii) the date which such 30 Trading Day-period is exceeded, being
referred to as “Event
Date”), then in addition to any other rights the Holders may have
hereunder or under applicable law: on each such Event Date and on each monthly
anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been
cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay
to each Holder an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, equal to 1.0% of the aggregate Investment Amount paid by such Holder
for Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement; provided, however, that the
total amount of partial liquidated damages payable by the Company pursuant to
all Events under this Section shall be capped at an aggregate of 10.0% of the
aggregate Investment Amount paid by the Investors under the Purchase Agreement.
The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a
daily pro-rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event
except in the case of the first Event Date. In no event will the Company be
liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement in excess of 1.0% of the
aggregate Investment Amount of the Investors in any 30-day period. The Company
will not be liable for liquidated damages under this Agreement with respect to
the Placement Agent Warrant Shares. The Company shall not be liable for
liquidated damages under this Agreement as to any Registrable Securities which
are not permitted by the Commission to be included in a Registration Statement
due solely to Commission Comments from the time that it is determined that such
Registrable Securities are not permitted to be registered solely due to
Commission Comments until such time as the provisions of this Agreement as to
the next applicable Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder are
triggered, in which case the provisions of this Section 2(f) shall once again
apply, if applicable.

contrary set forth above, for the liquidated damages incurred as a result of the
late effectiveness of the initial Registration Statement required to be filed

effective by the Effectiveness Dates, in lieu of payment of the liquidated
damages in cash as set forth above, as partial liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, the Company shall (A) issue to each Holder without registration under

Notice”).

contrary set forth in Schedule A as of the date hereof, a Holder’s “Percentage Share” shall be the
percentage of the shares of Common Stock held by such Holder as of the date of
the Election Notice relative to the total number of shares of Common Stock
issued under the Securities Purchase Agreement. Each party hereto hereby agrees
that the Liquidated Damages Shares or the Liquidated Damages Cash Amount, as
applicable, that such Holder may be entitled to as set forth on Schedule A under
this Agreement shall be automatically adjusted based on the Percentage Share so
calculated. Any adjustment to Schedule A in accordance with the foregoing
sentences shall not be deemed an amendment to this Agreement under Section 6(f)
hereof.”

herein. The Board Holdback Escrow Amount shall be released by the
Escrow Agent to the Company upon the Escrow Agent’s receipt of joint written
notice from the Company and __________ that the Company has complied with
Section 4.12 of the Securities Purchase Agreement. If for any reason,
