Item 1.01. Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement

Amendment and Conversion

On December 28, 2006, Modtech Holdings, Inc. (the "Company''), entered into an Amendment and Waiver letter agreement (the "Amendment") with Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (the "Purchaser") pursuant to which the conversion price of the $5 million convertible note issued to the Purchaser by the Company on October 31, 2006 (the "Convertible Note") was reduced to $3.57 per share. Concurrently with the execution of the Amendment, the Purchaser converted $3,534,300 of the principal amount of the Convertible Note into 990,000 shares of the Company's common stock (the "Shares"). Pursuant to the Amendment, the remaining principal balance of the Convertible Note will be converted into shares on the 61st day following the date the Amendment was executed.

Secured Term Note and Warrant

In connection with the Amendment, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with the Purchaser on December 28, 2006 (the "Purchase Agreement") pursuant to which it issued and sold to the Purchaser a Secured Term Note in the original principal amount of $5 million (the "Note") and a Common Stock Purchase Warrant to purchase 192,029 shares at an exercise price of $5.06 per share, 192,029 shares at an exercise price of $5.29 per share, and 192,028 shares at an exercise price of $6.53 per share.

The Note

The Note bears interest at an adjustable rate equal to the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 2.5%. The Note's interest rate will be adjusted with each adjustment in the prime rate. Principal payments of $104,166.66, plus accrued interest, will commence April 1, 2007 and continue on the same day of each month until the final payment of principal and accrued interest which is due December 28, 2009. The Note may be prepaid in whole, but not in part, at any time by paying the holder 124% of the then aggregate outstanding principal balance and accrued interest. The Note is secured by substantially all of the Company's assets.
 
Amounts owed under the Note may be accelerated and are subject to default rate interest charges under various circumstances, including, but not limited to, the failure to make principal or interest payments when due under the Note, breaches of certain covenants, representations, conditions and warranties set forth in the Note and Purchase Agreement, including, without limitation, the failure to maintain on a monthly basis at least $9 million in cash and eligible accounts receivable, the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy events affecting the Company, a change of control in the Company, and certain judgments, liens and attachments in excess of permitted amounts.

The Purchase Agreement contains certain negative covenants, including, without limitation, restrictions on the Company's ability to, among other things, pay dividends, incur debt, or change its business.
 


The Warrant

The Warrant is exercisable at any time up to December 28, 2013. The exercise price of the Warrant and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant will be adjusted in the event the Company issues a stock dividend, subdivides its shares or combines its shares.

Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement
 
In connection with the partial conversion of the Convertible Note and the issuance of the Warrant, on December 28, 2006, the Company and the Purchaser amended and restated the Registration Rights Agreement, dated October 31, 2006, (the "Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement") to include, in addition to the shares previously covered by the Registration Rights Agreement, the resale of the additional shares issued and issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Note following the adjustment to the conversion price and the shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrant.

Item 2.03. Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant.
 
The information provided in Item 1.01 above regarding the Purchase Agreement, the Note and the Warrant is hereby incorporated into this Item 2.03 by reference.

Item 3.02 Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities

The information provided in Item 1.01 above regarding the issuance of Shares upon partial conversion of the Convertible Note and the issuance of the Note and Warrant pursuant to the Purchase Agreement is hereby incorporated into this Item 3.02 by reference. The Company did not receive any proceeds from the issuance of the Shares or Warrant.

The issuance of the Shares, Note and the Warrant was made in reliance upon the exemption from registration set forth in Section 4(2) and Regulation D of the Securities Act of 1933. The offer and sale of the securities was conducted without general solicitation or advertising and made only to a single "accredited investor" under Rule 501 of Regulation D. The Shares issued and the shares to be issued upon exercise of the Warrant will be registered for resale under the Securities Act of 1933 pursuant to the Amended and Restated Registration Rights Agreement described in Item 1.01.

Amendment and Waiver Agreement
 
Gentlemen:
 
Reference is made to (a) the Secured Convertible Term Note (the “Note”) dated October 31, 2006 made by Modtech Holdings Inc. (the “Company”) in favor of Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”); (b) the Securities Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) dated as of October 31, 2006; (c) the Common Stock Purchase Warrant dated October 31, 2006 made by the Company in favor of Laurus for the purchase of up to 581,395 Shares of Common Stock (as such terms are defined therein) (“Warrant No. 1”) and (d) the Common Stock Purchase Warrant dated October 31, 2006 made by the Company in favor of Laurus for the purchase of up to 1,540,697 Shares of Common Stock (as such terms are defined therein) (“Warrant No. 2”, and together with Warrant No. 1, the “Warrants” and each, a “Warrant”). The Note, the Purchase Agreement and the Warrants are hereinafter collectively referred to as, the “Documents” and each, as a “Document”. Capitalized terms used herein that are not defined shall have the meaning given to them in the Note, Purchase Agreement and/or Warrants, as applicable.
 
The Company has requested that Laurus amend the Documents and Laurus is willing to do so on the terms and conditions set forth below.
 
In consideration of Laurus’ agreement to provide additional financial accommodations to the Company and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto hereby agree that:
 
1.  the last sentence of Section 2.1(a) of the Note is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
 
“For the purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.6 hereof, the “Fixed Conversion Price” means $3.57”;
 
2.  effective upon the Waiver Effective Date (as defined below), Section 3.2 of the Note is amended by replacing the percentage “4.99%” in the tenth and twelfth lines thereof with “9.99%”
 
3.  the last sentence of Section 7.3 of the Purchase Agreement is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
 

 
“The Stock Acquisition Limitation shall automatically become null and void without any notice to the Company upon the earlier to occur of the existence of an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) at a time when the average closing price of the Company’s common stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the immediately preceding five trading days is greater than or equal to 150% of the then applicable Exercise Price (as defined in any Warrant)”;
 
4.  effective upon the Waiver Effective Date, Section 10 of each Warrant is amended by replacing the percentage “4.99%” in the tenth and twelfth lines thereof with “9.99%”;
 
5.  the parties agree that, upon execution of this letter agreement by both parties, the Company will be deemed to have received notice from Laurus of Laurus’ waiver of the 4.99% conversion limitation set forth in Section 3.2 of the Note and in Section 10 of each of the Warrants, which waivers shall become effective on the 61st day following the date hereof (the “Waiver Effective Date”); and
 
6.  not later than January 31, 2007, the Company shall deliver to Laurus letters of litigation counsel to the Company with regard to the status of (a) Bescto Electric, Inc. dba Best Electric v. Modtech Holdings, Inc., in the Superior Court of California, Contra Costa County, Superior Court Case No. C 06 -02530 and (b) Richard Hancock, Inc. v. Modtech Holdings, Inc., in the Superior Court of California, Contra Costa County, Superior Court Case No. C 06-02229, each such letter in form and substance satisfactory to Laurus, the failure of which shall constitute an “Event of Default” under the Purchase Agreement and/or any Related Agreement.
 
Except as specifically amended and/or waived herein, the Note, the Purchase Agreement and Warrants shall remain in full force and effect, and are hereby ratified and confirmed. The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this letter agreement shall not operate as a waiver of any right, power or remedy of Laurus, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Note, the Purchase Agreement or any Warrant.
 
Immediately after giving effect to this letter agreement, Laurus shall issue a Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Note) pursuant to which Laurus shall convert $3,534,300 of the principal indebtedness under such Note. Upon the Waiver Effective Date, Laurus shall issue a Notice of Conversion (as defined in the Note) pursuant to which Laurus shall convert the then remaining outstanding principal indebtedness under such Note (provided that Laurus shall not beneficially own over 9.99% of the Company’s outstanding common stock upon such conversion). Laurus shall not, during the period commencing on the date hereof and ending on the Waiver Effective Date, exercise or convert any of the Company’s exercisable or convertible securities owned by it nor otherwise purchase any of the Company’s securities if such exercise, conversion or purchase, as the case may be, would result in Laurus' inability to convert the remaining outstanding principal indebtedness under the Note on the Waiver Effective Date
 
This letter agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective administrators, successors and assigns and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York.

27

 
9.  Exercise of the Warrant.
 
9.1  Mechanics of Exercise.
 
(a)  Provided the Purchaser has notified the Company of the Purchaser’s intention to sell the Warrant Shares and the Warrant Shares are included in an effective registration statement or are otherwise exempt from registration when sold: (i) upon the exercise of the Warrant or part thereof, the Company shall, at its own cost and expense, take all necessary action (including the issuance of an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser following a request by the Purchaser) to assure that the Company’s transfer agent shall issue shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the name of the Purchaser (or its nominee) or such other persons as designated by the Purchaser in accordance with Section 9.2(b) hereof and in such denominations to be specified representing the number of Warrant Shares issuable upon such exercise; and (ii) the Company warrants that no instructions other than these instructions have been or will be given to the transfer agent of the Company’s Common Stock and that after the Effectiveness Date (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) the Warrant Shares issued will be freely transferable subject to the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act and the provisions of this Agreement, and will not contain a legend restricting the resale or transferability of the Warrant Shares.
 
(b)  The Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to exercise the Warrant or part thereof by telecopying or otherwise delivering an executed and completed notice of the number of shares to be subscribed to the Company and its Exercise Price (as defined in the Warrant) to be paid therefor (the “Form of Subscription”). The Purchaser will not be required to surrender Warrant until the Purchaser receives a credit to the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker through the DWAC system (as defined below), representing the Warrant Shares or until the Warrant has been fully exercised. Each date on which a Form of Subscription is telecopied or delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a “Exercise Date.” Pursuant to the terms of the Form of Subscription, the Company will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel, if required, within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to the Company of the Form of Subscription and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Warrant Shares set forth in the applicable Form of Subscription to the Holder by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Form of Subscription (the “Subscription Delivery Date”).
 
28

 
(c)  The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof beyond the Subscription Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. In the event that the Company fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Warrant Shares to the Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in Section 9.2(b) above and the Warrant Shares are not delivered to the Purchaser by the Subscription Delivery Date, as compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Purchaser for late issuance of the Warrant Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof upon exercise of the Warrant in the amount equal to the greater of: (i) $500 per business day after the Delivery Date; or (ii) the Purchaser’s actual damages from such delayed delivery. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand and, in the case of actual damages, accompanied by reasonable documentation of the amount of such damages. Such documentation shall show the number of shares of Common Stock the Purchaser is forced to purchase (in an open market transaction) which the Purchaser anticipated receiving upon such exercise, and shall be calculated as the amount by which (A) the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including customary brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate amount of the Exercise Price for the Warrant, for which such Form of Subscription was not timely honored.
 
10.  Registration Rights.
 
10.1  Registration Rights Granted. The Company hereby grants registration rights to the Purchaser pursuant to the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
10.2  Offering Restrictions. Except as previously disclosed in the SEC Reports or in the Exchange Act Filings, or stock or stock options granted to employees or directors of the Company (these exceptions hereinafter referred to as the “Excepted Issuances”), neither the Company nor any of its Subsidiaries will, prior to the full repayment of the Term Note and the full repayment or conversion of the Convertible Note (together with all accrued and unpaid interest and fees related thereto), issue, or enter into any agreement to issue, any securities with a variable/floating conversion and/or pricing feature which are or could be (by conversion or registration) free-trading securities (i.e. common stock subject to a registration statement).
 
11.  Miscellaneous.
 
11.1  Governing Law, Jurisdiction and Waiver of Jury Trial.
 
(a)  THIS AGREEMENT AND THE OTHER RELATED AGREEMENTS SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS.
 
(b)  THE COMPANY HEREBY CONSENTS AND AGREES THAT THE STATE OR FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK SHALL HAVE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION TO HEAR AND DETERMINE ANY CLAIMS OR DISPUTES BETWEEN THE COMPANY, ON THE ONE HAND, AND THE PURCHASER, ON THE OTHER HAND, PERTAINING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE RELATED AGREEMENTS OR TO ANY MATTER ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OF THE OTHER RELATED AGREEMENTS; PROVIDED, THAT THE PURCHASER AND THE COMPANY ACKNOWLEDGE THAT ANY APPEALS FROM THOSE COURTS MAY HAVE TO BE HEARD BY A COURT LOCATED OUTSIDE OF THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK, STATE OF NEW YORK; AND FURTHER PROVIDED, THAT, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED OR OPERATE TO PRECLUDE THE PURCHASER FROM BRINGING SUIT OR TAKING OTHER LEGAL ACTION IN ANY OTHER JURISDICTION TO COLLECT THE OBLIGATIONS, TO REALIZE ON THE COLLATERAL (AS DEFINED IN THE MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT) OR ANY OTHER SECURITY FOR THE OBLIGATIONS (AS DEFINED IN THE MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT), OR TO ENFORCE A JUDGMENT OR OTHER COURT ORDER IN FAVOR OF THE PURCHASER. THE COMPANY EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION THAT IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS. THE COMPANY HEREBY WAIVES PERSONAL SERVICE OF THE SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS ISSUED IN ANY SUCH ACTION OR SUIT AND AGREES THAT SERVICE OF SUCH SUMMONS, COMPLAINT AND OTHER PROCESS MAY BE MADE BY REGISTERED OR CERTIFIED MAIL ADDRESSED TO THE COMPANY AT THE ADDRESS SET FORTH IN SECTION 11.9 AND THAT SERVICE SO MADE SHALL BE DEEMED COMPLETED UPON THE EARLIER OF THE COMPANY’S ACTUAL RECEIPT THEREOF OR THREE (3) DAYS AFTER DEPOSIT IN THE U.S. MAILS, PROPER POSTAGE PREPAID.
 
29

 
(c)  THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN THE PURCHASER AND/OR THE COMPANY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER RELATED AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.
 
11.2  Severability. Wherever possible each provision of this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement or any Related Agreement shall be prohibited by or invalid or illegal under applicable law such provision shall be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity or illegality, without invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions thereof which shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.
 
30

 
11.3  Survival. The representations, warranties, covenants and agreements made herein shall survive any investigation made by the Purchaser and the closing of the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent provided therein. All statements as to factual matters contained in any certificate or other instrument delivered by or on behalf of the Company pursuant hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby shall be deemed to be representations and warranties by the Company hereunder solely as of the date of such certificate or instrument.

11.4  Successors. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the provisions hereof shall inure to the benefit of, and be binding upon, the successors, heirs, executors and administrators of the parties hereto and shall inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by each person or entity which shall be a holder of the Securities from time to time, other than the holders of Common Stock which has been sold by the Purchaser pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective registration statement. The Purchaser shall not be permitted to assign its rights hereunder or under any Related Agreement to a competitor of the Company unless an Event of Default (as defined in the Note) has occurred and is continuing.
 
11.5  Entire Agreement; Maximum Interest.

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of note purchases from, loans made or to be made or credit otherwise extended or to be extended by Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) to or for the account of Modtech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Debtor”), from time to time and at any time and for other good and valuable consideration and to induce Laurus, in its discretion, to purchase such notes, make such loans or other extensions of credit and to make or grant such renewals, extensions, releases of collateral or relinquishments of legal rights as Laurus may deem advisable, each of the undersigned (and each of them if more than one, the liability under this Guaranty being joint and several) (jointly and severally referred to as “Guarantors” or “the undersigned”) unconditionally guaranties to Laurus, its successors, endorsees and assigns the prompt payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all present and future obligations and liabilities of any and all kinds of Debtor to Laurus and of all instruments of any nature evidencing or relating to any such obligations and liabilities upon which Debtor or one or more parties and Debtor is or may become liable to Laurus, whether incurred by Debtor as maker, endorser, drawer, acceptor, guarantors , accommodation party or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and however or whenever acquired by Laurus, whether arising under, out of, or in connection with (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as December 28, 2006 by and between the Debtor and Laurus (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and (ii) each Related Agreement referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement and each Related Agreement, as each may be amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Documents”), or any documents, instruments or agreements relating to or executed in connection with the Documents or any documents, instruments or agreements referred to therein or otherwise, or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Debtor to Laurus, whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, due or not due and whether under, pursuant to or evidenced by a note, agreement, guaranty, instrument or otherwise (all of which are herein collectively referred to as the “Obligations”), and irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of the Obligations in any case commenced by or against Debtor under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations or indebtedness of Debtor for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Obligations but for the commencement of such case. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:
 
1.  No Impairment. Laurus may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the undersigned, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, renew or extend any of the Obligations or increase or decrease the interest rate thereon, or any other agreement with Debtor or with any other party to or person liable on any of the Obligations, or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between Laurus and Debtor or any such other party or person, or make any election of rights Laurus may deem desirable under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally (any of the foregoing, an “Insolvency Law”) without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall be effective regardless of the subsequent incorporation, merger or consolidation of Debtor, or any change in the composition, nature, personnel or location of Debtor and shall extend to any successor entity to Debtor, including a debtor in possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.

2.  Guaranty Absolute. Subject to Section 5(c) hereof, each of the undersigned jointly and severally guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Documents and/or any other document, instrument or agreement creating or evidencing the Obligations, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of Debtor with respect thereto. Guarantors hereby knowingly accept the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of “continuing guaranty” which risk includes the possibility that Debtor will contract additional indebtedness for which Guarantors may be liable hereunder after Debtor’s financial condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated, whether or not Debtor has properly authorized incurring such additional indebtedness. The undersigned acknowledge that (i) no oral representations, including any representations to extend credit or provide other financial accommodations to Debtor, have been made by Laurus to induce the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of credit to the Debtor shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Documents. The liability of each of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition, consent or supplement to or deletion from or any other action or inaction under or in respect of the Documents or any other instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Document or other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (c) any furnishing of any additional security to Laurus or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by Laurus or its assignees, (d) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligation under the Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such document, instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Debtor, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the undersigned shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release, or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the Obligations or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the undersigned. Any amounts due from the undersigned to Laurus shall bear interest until such amounts are paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Obligations. Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not allowed or allowable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Purchaser acknowledges, based upon the representations and warranties made by the Company and its Subsidiaries under Section 4.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, that the Subsidiaries of the Company set forth on Schedule 4.1 thereto have either dissolved, suspended operations and/or filed for their corporate charters to be revolved and such occurrences shall not constitute a breach under this guaranty.

3.  Waivers.
 
(a)  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Laurus shall be under no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or remedies or take any other action against Debtor or any other person or entity liable with respect to any of the Obligations or resort to any collateral security held by it to secure any of the Obligations as a condition precedent to the undersigned being obligated to perform as agreed herein and each of the Guarantors hereby waives any and all rights which it may have by statute or otherwise which would require Laurus to do any of the foregoing. Each of the Guarantors further consents and agrees that Laurus shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Guarantors, or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. The undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the undersigned may have or which may exist between and among Laurus, Debtor and/or the undersigned with respect to the undersigned’s obligations under this Guaranty, or which Debtor may assert on the underlying debt, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, payment (other than cash payment in full of the Obligations), statute of frauds, bankruptcy, infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury.
 
(b)  Each of the undersigned further waives (i) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, of the making of any such loans or extensions of credit, and of all notices and demands of any kind to which the undersigned may be entitled, including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in Debtor’s financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the risk of the undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever liable upon any of the Obligations, protest, notices of presentment, non-payment or protest and notice of any sale of collateral security or any default of any sort.

If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full and Laurus’ obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Documents shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by the undersigned in trust for Laurus, segregated from other funds of the undersigned, and shall forthwith upon, and in any event within two (2) business days of, receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to Laurus in the exact form received by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to Laurus, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Laurus may determine, subject to the provisions of the Documents. Any and all present and future debts and obligations of Debtor to any of the undersigned are hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment and performance of, all present and future Obligations of Debtor to Laurus.

BACKGROUND
 
The Company has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of December 28, 2006 (as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Pledgee provides or will provide certain financial accommodations to the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.  Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein which are not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
2.  Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. To secure the full and punctual payment and performance of (the following clauses (a) and (b), collectively, the “Obligations”) (a) the obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements, as each may be amended, restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, collectively, the “Documents”) and (b) all other obligations and liabilities of each Pledgor to the Pledgee whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, due or not due and whether under, pursuant to or evidenced by a note, agreement, guaranty, instrument or otherwise (in each case, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of such in any case commenced by or against any Pledgor under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations of each Pledgor for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Obligations but for the commencement of such case), each Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and grants a security interest to Pledgee in all of the following (the “Collateral”):

(a)  Transfer any or all of the Collateral into its name, or into the name of its nominee or nominees;
 
(b)  Exercise all corporate rights with respect to the Collateral including, without limitation, all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any shares of the Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, but without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any or all of the Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the Issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by the Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; and
 
5

 
(c)  Subject to any requirement of applicable law, sell, assign and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral at the time held by the Pledgee, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or notice of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or otherwise (all of which are hereby waived, except such notice as is required by applicable law and cannot be waived), for cash or credit or for other property for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its sole discretion may determine, or as may be required by applicable law.
 
Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases any and all right or equity of redemption, whether before or after sale hereunder. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee may bid for and purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. All moneys received by the Pledgee hereunder, whether upon sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or otherwise, shall be held by the Pledgee and applied by it as provided in Section 10 hereof. No failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights hereunder. The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon nor any duty as to preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, except to apply the funds in accordance with the requirements of Section 10 hereof. The Pledgee may exercise its rights with respect to property held hereunder without resort to other security for or sources of reimbursement for the Obligations. In addition to the foregoing, Pledgee shall have all of the rights, remedies and privileges of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of New York (the “UCC”) regardless of the jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought.
 
9.  Private Sale. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect (or to do so only after delay which would adversely affect the value that might be realized from the Collateral) a public sale of all or part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor agrees that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Pledgor agrees that the Pledgee has no obligation to delay sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer to register the Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act.
 
10.  Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral shall be applied by the Pledgee as follows:
 
6

 
(a)  First, to the payment of all costs, reasonable expenses and charges of the Pledgee and to the reimbursement of the Pledgee for the prior payment of such costs, reasonable expenses and charges incurred in connection with the care and safekeeping of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the reasonable expenses of any sale or any other disposition of any of the Collateral), attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses, court costs, any other fees or expenses incurred or expenditures or advances made by Pledgee in the protection, enforcement or exercise of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder;
 
(b)  Second, to the payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part, in such order as the Pledgee may elect, whether or not such Obligations is then due;
 
(c)  Third, to such persons, firms, corporations or other entities as required by applicable law including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC; and
 
(d)  Fourth, to the extent of any surplus to the Pledgors or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
 
In the event that the proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations, each Pledgor shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency plus the costs and fees of any attorneys employed by Pledgee to collect such deficiency.
 
11.  Waiver of Marshaling. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right to compel any marshaling of any of the Collateral.
 
12.  No Waiver. Any and all of the Pledgee’s rights with respect to the Encumbrances (as defined in the Master Security Agreement) granted under this Agreement shall continue unimpaired, and Pledgor shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (a) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Pledgor, (b) the release or substitution of any item of the Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interests therein, provided that if Pledgee shall release its Encumbrance on any Collateral then Pledgee’s rights with respect to such Encumbrance shall not continue or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Pledgee in reference to any of the Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby waives all notice of any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consents to be bound hereby as fully and effectively as if such Pledgor had expressly agreed thereto in advance. No delay or extension of time by the Pledgee in exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no failure by the Pledgee to give notice or make demand, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice the Pledgee’s right to take any action against any Pledgor or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.
 
13.  Expenses. The Collateral shall secure, and each Pledgor shall pay to Pledgee on demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs and expenses, (including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, taxes, and all transfer, recording, filing and other charges) of, or incidental to, the custody, care, transfer, administration of the Collateral or any other collateral, or in any way relating to the enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights or remedies of the Pledgee under this Agreement or with respect to any of the Obligations.
 
7

 
14.  The Pledgee Appointed Attorney-In-Fact and Performance by the Pledgee. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Pledgee as such Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to do in such Pledgor’s name, place and stead, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of such Pledgor, which such Pledgor could or might do or which the Pledgee may deem necessary, desirable or convenient to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to execute such instruments of assignment or transfer or orders and to register, convey or otherwise transfer title to the Collateral into the Pledgee’s name. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that said attorney-in-fact may so do and hereby declares this power of attorney to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable. If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement herein contained, the Pledgee may itself perform or cause performance thereof, and any costs and expenses of the Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Pledgors as provided in Section 10 hereof.
 
15.  WAIVERS. THE PARTIES HERETO DESIRES THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN LAURUS, AND/OR ANY COMPANY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEN IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.
 
16.  Recapture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Pledgee receives any payment or payments on account of the Obligations, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not finally retained by the Pledgee, each Pledgor’s obligations to the Pledgee shall be reinstated and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been made to Pledgee, which payment shall be due on demand.

From and after the date hereof through and including the Expiration Date, the Holder shall be entitled to receive, upon exercise of this Warrant in whole or in part, by delivery of an original or fax copy of an exercise notice in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the “Exercise Notice”), shares of Common Stock of the Company, subject to adjustment pursuant to Section 4.

1.3.  Company Acknowledgment. The Company will, at the time of the exercise of this Warrant, upon the request of the holder hereof acknowledge in writing its continuing obligation to afford to such holder any rights to which such holder shall continue to be entitled after such exercise in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant.

2.  Procedure for Exercise.
 
2.1.  Delivery of Stock Certificates, Etc., on Exercise. The Company agrees that the shares of Common Stock purchased upon exercise of this Warrant shall be deemed to be issued to the Holder as the record owner of such shares as of the close of business on the date on which this Warrant shall have been surrendered and payment made for such shares in accordance herewith. As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
 
2.2.  Exercise. Payment shall be made either in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Common Shares specified in such Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.

3.  Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.
 
3.1.  Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, if applicable, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
 
3.2.  Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1 to the extent the Holder has exercised the warrant following the transfer of assets, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder (the “Trustee”).
 
3.3.  Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder will be delivered to the Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.
 
4.  Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Company (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise (taking into account the provisions of this Section 4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of the Common Stock.
 
4

 
5.  Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
 
6.  Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.
 
7.  Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, the provision of a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel (at the Company’s expense) that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense (but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.
 
5

 
8.  Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
 
9.  Registration Rights. The Holder has been granted certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and Holder dated as of the date hereof, as the same may be amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time.
 
10.  Maximum Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of any amount greater than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than 9.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.   For purposes of the proviso to the second preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (a) of such proviso.  The limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the Holder upon provision of no less than sixty-one (61) days prior notice to the Company and (y) shall automatically become null and void following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Holder and the Company (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”)), except that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder at a price below $4.37 per share pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or otherwise, shall not exceed an aggregate of 4,001,769 shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”), unless the issuance of Common Shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to time the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement or otherwise, together with the number of shares of Common Stock that would then be issuable by the Company to the Holder in the event of a conversion pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement or otherwise, would exceed the Maximum Common Stock Issuance but for this Section 10, the Company shall promptly call a shareholders meeting to solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance.
 
6

 
11.  Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the each Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.
 
12.  Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
 
13.  Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder who has so furnished an address to the Company.
 
14.  Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. ANY ACTION BROUGHT CONCERNING THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS WARRANT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN THE STATE COURTS OF NEW YORK OR IN THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE HOLDER MAY CHOOSE TO WAIVE THIS PROVISION AND BRING AN ACTION OUTSIDE THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party.

2.  Registration.
 
(a)  On or prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities for a selling stockholder resale offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). The Company shall cause each Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the Effectiveness Date. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold immediately without registration under the Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k), as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”).
 
(b)  If: (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date; (ii) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date; (iii) after the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, the Registration Statement ceases to be effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate per year (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective) or more than twenty (20) consecutive calendar days; or (iv) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading on any Trading Market for a period of three (3) consecutive Trading Days (provided the Company shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within thirty (30) days of the notice thereof or list the Common Stock on another Trading Market); (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such thirty (30) day or twenty (20) consecutive day period (as the case may be) is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (v) the date on which such three (3) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% for each thirty (30) day period (prorated for partial periods) on a daily basis of the original principal amount of the Notes; provided that, the maximum aggregate amount of liquidated damages that may be charged to the Company pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall not exceed 10% of the initial principal amount of the Notes. While such Event continues, such liquidated damages shall be paid not less often than each thirty (30) days. Any unpaid liquidated damages as of the date when an Event has been cured by the Company shall be paid within three (3) days following the date on which such Event has been cured by the Company. At its option, the Company may pay up to fifty percent (50%) of the liquidated damages (the “Equity Damage Amount”) by delivering from time to time to the Holder, which such deliveries shall occur simultaneously with delivery to the Holder of the cash portion of the liquidated damage amounts as required by this Section 2(b), warrants (the “New Warrants”) substantially identical to the Warrants (except that the per share exercise price under the New Warrants shall be equal to the par value of the Common Stock) to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock whose aggregate Fair Market Value (as hereafter defined) equals the Equity Damage Amount. For purposes hereof, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average of the closing price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to issuance of the applicable New Warrants. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any New Warrants shall be included within the definition of Registrable Securities and shall be included within (I) the initial Registration Statement if the liquidated damages arise from an Event occurring prior to the date such initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and (II) a new Registration Statement to be filed on or prior to the applicable Filing Date and declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date, in the event the liquidated damages arise from an Event occurring after the date the initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

(c)  Within three (3) business days of the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket opinion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the transfer agent stating that the shares are subject to an effective registration statement and can be reissued free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by the Purchaser and confirmation by the Purchaser that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the Company has not advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion has been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this Section 2(c) shall be delivered to the Purchaser within the time frame set forth above.

(b)  prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period applicable to such Registration Statement;

(d)  use its best efforts to register or qualify the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Purchaser may reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
 
(e)  list the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
 
(f)  promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days following such occurrence) notify the Purchaser at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and
 
(g)  make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.

5.  Indemnification.
 
(a)  In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Purchaser, or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus (unless connected in the final sale prospectus) or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Purchaser, and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such document.
 
(b)  In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in (and such information is contained in) the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in any such document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Purchaser in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.

(c)  Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than under this Section 5(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) if and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel for the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if counsel for the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that the interests of the Indemnified Party may reasonably be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.
 
(d)  In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Purchaser or such officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Purchaser is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such Registration Statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(a)  The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and, except with respect to certain matters which the Company has disclosed to the Purchaser on Schedule 4.21 to each Purchase Agreement, the Company has filed all proxy statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. The Company has filed (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and (ii) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended June 30, 2006, and September 30, 2006 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). Each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes, customary year-end adjustments, or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC Report.

(c)  Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to either Purchase Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Common Stock pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.

(e)  The Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Note and/or the exercise of any Warrants and recognizes that the issuance of such Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.
 
(f)  Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of business, there is no agreement that has not been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the breach of which could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, or would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
 
(g)  The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the full conversion of the Convertible Note and exercise of the Warrants.
 
(h)  The Company shall provide written notice to each Holder of (i) the occurrence of each Discontinuation Event (as defined below) and (ii) the declaration of effectiveness by the SEC of each Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder, in each case within one (1) business day of the date of each such occurrence and/or declaration.

(b)  No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent set forth on Schedule 7(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration Statement to any of its security holders. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any person or entity that have not been fully satisfied.

(c)  Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to each Registration Statement.
 
(d)  Discontinued Disposition. Each Holder agrees by its acquisition of such Registrable Securities that, upon receipt of a notice from the Company of the occurrence of a Discontinuation Event (as defined below), such Holder will forthwith discontinue disposition of such Registrable Securities under the applicable Registration Statement until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented Prospectus and/or amended Registration Statement or until it is advised in writing (the “Advice”) by the Company that the use of the applicable Prospectus may be resumed, and, in either case, has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such Prospectus or Registration Statement. The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
 
(e)  Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time after the date hereof there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered hereunder and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered, to the extent the Company may do so without violating registration rights of others which exist as of the date of this Agreement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to obtaining any required consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under such registration statement.
