Recitals

WHEREAS, the Borrower and Lender are parties to that certain Promissory Note, dated as of March 6, 2006 (the “Note”). Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall have the meanings ascribed thereto in that certain Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 10, 2006, by and among the Borrower and the investors set forth in the schedule attached thereto (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”); and

WHEREAS, the Borrower and the Lender desire to amend the Note to include a provision pertaining to the Additional Closing Date required under the Note due to certain timing issue concerning the filing, review by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and mailing of the Information Statement required under the terms of the Note.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:

1. The Note is hereby amended by inserting the following sentence after the end of the first complete paragraph of the Note to read as follows:

“Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon the Maturity Date, if the Additional Closing Date has not occurred on or prior to such date and either (a) (x) the Company has received the SEC Indication of Completion of Review (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) and (y) the Company is using its reasonable best efforts to print the information statement required in connection with the Shareholder Approval (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement) (the “Information Statement”) and mail such Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as commercially practicable; or (b) (x) the SEC is conducting a full review (which is continuing) of the Information Statement and (y) the Company has used its reasonable best efforts to respond to any comments of the SEC, to cause such Information Statement to become effective, to print such Information Statement and to mail such Information Statement to the Company’s stockholders as promptly as commercially practicable, the Maturity Date shall be extended until the earlier to occur of (i) the date of the Additional Closing Date and (ii) in the case of the scenario described in (a) above, June 9, 2006 and, in the case of the scenario described in (b) above, the earlier to occur of (x) January 1, 2007 and (y) thirty days after the date the Company has received the SEC Indication of Completion of Review.”

2. The Note is hereby amended by inserting the following paragraphs after the fifth complete paragraph of the Note to read as follows:

“The Borrower shall not enter into or be party to a Fundamental Transaction unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing (with the purchase of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the Company’s Common Stock automatically constituting an assumption in writing) all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Note and the other Transactional Documents contemplated in the Securities Purchase Agreement pursuant to written agreements in form and substance satisfactory to the Lender and approved by the Lender prior to such Fundamental Transaction, including agreements to deliver to the Lender a Note of the Successor Entity evidenced by a written instrument substantially similar in form and substance to this Note and satisfactory to the Lender, including, without limitation, having principal equal to the principal amount outstanding and accrued but unpaid interest under this Note at the time of such Change of Control and (ii) the Successor Entity (including its Parent Entity) is a publicly traded corporation whose common shares are quoted on or listed for trading on an Eligible Market. Upon the occurrence of any Fundamental Transaction, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Fundamental Transaction, the provisions of this Note referring to the “Borrower” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Borrower and shall assume all of the obligations of the Borrower under this Note with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Borrower herein. The provisions of this paragraph shall apply similarly and equally to successive Fundamental Transactions and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the redemption of the Note. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this paragraph shall not apply to the outstanding amounts under the Note to the extent such amounts are the subject of a Change of Control Repayment Notice (as defined below).

No sooner than fifteen (15) days nor later than ten (10) days prior to the consummation of a Change of Control, but not prior to the public announcement of such Change of Control, the Borrower shall deliver written notice thereof via facsimile and overnight courier to the Lender (a “Change of Control Notice”). At any time during the period (the “Change of Control Period”) beginning after the Lender’s receipt of a Change of Control Notice and ending on the date that is twenty (20) Trading Days after the consummation of such Change of Control, the Lender may require the Borrower to repay this Note at a price (the “Change of Control Repayment Price”) equal to the greater of (i) the product of (x) the sum of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable under this Note and being redeemed and (y) the quotient determined by dividing (A) the Closing Sales Price of the Common Stock immediately following the public announcement of such proposed Change of Control by (B) $9.54 and (ii) 115% of the principal and accrued but unpaid interest due and payable under this Note and being redeemed by delivering written notice thereof (“Change of Control

2

Repayment Notice”) to the Borrower, which Change of Control Repayment Notice shall indicate the repayment amount sought by the Lender. The Company shall make payment of the Change of Control Repayment Price concurrently with the consummation of such Change of Control if such a Change of Control Repayment Notice is received prior to the consummation of such Change of Control and within five (5) Trading Days after the Borrower’s receipt of such notice otherwise. To the extent redemptions required by this paragraph are deemed or determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be prepayments of the outstanding principal and interest under this Note, such redemptions shall be deemed to be voluntary prepayments. The parties hereto agree that in the event of the Borrower’s redemption of any portion of the Note under this paragraph, the Lender’s damages would be uncertain and difficult to estimate because of the parties’ inability to predict future interest rates and the uncertainty of the availability of a suitable substitute investment opportunity for the Lender. Accordingly, any redemption premium due under this paragraph is intended by the parties to be, and shall be deemed, a reasonable estimate of the Lender’s actual loss of its investment opportunity and not as a penalty.

For the purpose of this Note, a “Change of Control” means any Fundamental Transaction other than (A) any reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification in which holders of the Borrower’s voting power immediately prior to such reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification continue after such reorganization, recapitalization or reclassification to hold publicly traded securities and, directly or indirectly, the voting power of the surviving entity or entities necessary to elect a majority of the members of the board of directors (or their equivalent if other than a corporation) of such entity or entities, or (B) pursuant to a migratory merger effected solely for the purpose of changing the jurisdiction of incorporation of the Borrower.

For the purpose of this Note, “Closing Bid Price” and “Closing Sale Price” means, for any security as of any date, the last closing bid price and last closing trade price, respectively, for such security on the Principal Market, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market begins to operate on an extended hours basis and does not designate the closing bid price or the closing trade price, as the case may be, then the last bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security prior to 4:00:00 p.m., New York Time, as reported by Bloomberg, or, if the Principal Market is not the principal securities exchange or trading market for such security, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security on the principal securities exchange or trading market where such security is listed or traded as reported by Bloomberg, or if the foregoing do not apply, the last closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, of such security in the over-the-counter market on the electronic bulletin board for such security as reported by Bloomberg, or, if no closing bid price or last trade price, respectively, is reported for such security by Bloomberg, the average of the bid prices, or the ask prices, respectively, of any market makers for such security

3

as reported in the “pink sheets” by Pink Sheets LLC (formerly the National Quotation Bureau, Inc.). If the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price cannot be calculated for a security on a particular date on any of the foregoing bases, the Closing Bid Price or the Closing Sale Price, as the case may be, of such security on such date shall be the fair market value as mutually determined by the Company and the Lender. If the Company and the Lender are unable to agree upon the fair market value of such security, then such dispute shall be resolved pursuant to the dispute resolution mechanisms set forth in the Securities Purchase Agreement. All such determinations to be appropriately adjusted for any share dividend, share split, share combination or other similar transaction during the applicable calculation period.
