intending to be legally bound hereby, the undersigned parties hereby agree as
follows:
Incorporation of Preliminary
Statements. The Recitals set forth above by this reference hereto are
hereby incorporated into this Agreement.
2
1. Issuance of Restricted
Shares. In consideration for forbearance of the principal and
interest payments of the Debentures described in this Agreement, the Company
shall issue 200,000 restricted shares of common stock to BridgePointe and
200,000 restricted shares of common stock, in the aggregate, to the Enable Funds
collectively. The Holders agree that such issuance of restricted
common stock for the forbearance of the principal and interest payments shall
not cause a further reset in the conversion price of the Debentures or the
related warrants and waive the reset provisions for these
issuances.
2. Increase in Authorized
Shares. In addition to any existing obligations of the Company
under the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase
Agreements, respectively), the Company shall hold a shareholders meeting and put
before the shareholders a proposal to increase authorized shares from
125,000,000 to 250,000,000, following the requirements set forth in the
Company’s by-laws, within 9 months from the date of this agreement. The Company
shall use its best efforts to obtain stockholder approval of an increase in such
authorized number of shares. Should the available amount of
authorized, unissued and unreserved shares fall below 5,000,000 then the Company
shall accelerate these efforts and put the proposal before the shareholders
within 90 days from such date of said event.
3. Confirmation of Outstanding
Principal Amounts of the Debentures. The Company and the
Holders acknowledge that the outstanding principal amounts of the respective
September 2007 Convertible Debentures and May 2008 Convertible Debentures, as of
January 1, 2009, are as set forth in Schedule “A”
hereto.
4. Adjustment to Conversion
Price of the Debentures. The definition of “Conversion Price” in
Section 4(b) of each of the Debentures is hereby deleted and replaced in its
entirety with the following:
“Conversion
Price. The conversion price in effect on any Conversion Date
shall be equal to $0.51, subject to adjustment herein (the “Conversion
Price”).”
5. Definition of Monthly
Interest Payment Date. The definition of “Monthly Interest Payment
Date” shall be added, in alphabetical order, to Section 1 of each of the
Debentures, and have the following meaning:
“Monthly Interest Payment
Date shall have the meaning set forth in Section 2 (f).”
6. Deferral of Interest
Payments; Payment of Interest in Common Shares.
Section 2 “Interest” of the
Debentures shall be amended by adding the following language as a new paragraph
to the end of subsection (a) of such Section 2 as follows:
3
Payment of Interest Due
January 1, 2009 through July 1, 2009. For purposes hereof,
“Monthly Interest Payment Date” shall mean the first trading day of each
calendar month, beginning on March 1, 2009. Notwithstanding the
above, no interest payment shall be due on January 1,
2009. Commencing on March 1, 2009, through and including July 1, 2009
(the “Monthly Interest Payment Period”), the Company shall pay all accrued and
unpaid interest to the Holder on each Monthly Interest Payment
Date. Each payment of interest during the Monthly Interest Payment
Period shall be made in duly authorized, validly issued, fully paid and
non-assessable shares of Common Stock, which shall not contain any restrictive
legends, at the conversion rate of rate of $0.40 per share (the dollar amount to
be paid in shares, also referred to as the “Interest Share
Amount); provided, however, that payment
of interest in shares of Common Stock during the Monthly Interest Payment Period
may occur only if (i) the average daily trading volume for the twenty (20)
trading days immediately preceding the applicable Monthly Interest Payment Date
exceeds $15,000 (ii) the average of the VWAPs for the 10 consecutive trading
days immediately preceding the applicable Monthly Interest Payment Date, equals
or exceeds $0.40 and (iii) the Interest Payment Shares are freely tradeable
without volume limitations under Rule 144(d)(i)(1). If any one or
more of the above conditions are not satisfied, then the interest amounts
otherwise due on such Monthly Interest Payment Date shall be added to the
principal balances of the Debentures. If the conditions are met for
payment of the interest in shares during the Monthly Interest Payment Period,
the appropriate number of shares are to be issued by the Company and delivered
to the Holder’s account with The Depository Trust Company on the applicable
Monthly Interest Payment Date. The Holders agree that such
issuances of stock for the payment of interest shall not cause a further reset
in the conversion price of the Debentures or the related warrants and waive the
reset provisions for these issuances.
If
the company does not meet the conditions to pay interest in stock, and interest
amounts otherwise due are added to the principal amount of the Debenture, the
Company shall, within one (1) business day of the interest payment date either
(i) deliver a new Debenture reflecting the increased principal amount or (ii)
deliver an officer’s certificate, signed by an authorized officer of the
Company, to each Holder confirming the new principal amount of the Holder’s
Debenture (and the Debenture Holders’ records shall be controlling with respect
to the determination of the principal amount of the Debenture, absent manifest
error).
Commencing
on August 1, 2009 and thereafter, the Company shall once again pay interest
quarterly on each January 1, April 1, July 1 and October 1 in accordance with
the first paragraph of Section 2(a) above.
The
parties to this Agreement agree and acknowledge that the amount of accrued and
unpaid interest for each of the Debentures as of March 1, 2009 (the “March 1
2009 Interest Amount”), will be the amount set forth in the Schedule “A”

February 2008, is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the
following:
“Monthly Redemption
Amount” means an amount equal to the outstanding amount of such Holder’s
Debenture as of August 1, 2009, divided by 12.”

of Debentures. The “Maturity Date,” as defined in the second
paragraph of each of the Debentures, is hereby amended to mean July 1,
2010.

time, BridgePointe (either itself or through its investment manager,
Roswell Capital Partners, LLC (“RCP”)), at its option, may
recommend a nominee, chosen at BridgePointe’s own discretion (the “BridgePointe Nominee”) to the
Company’s Board of Directors. The Company agrees that its Board of
Directors, or the Nominating Committee of the Board, as applicable, shall
appoint the BridgePointe Nominee as a member of the Company’s Board of
Directors, provided that the BridgePointe Nominee meets the minimum
qualifications for the position set forth in the Company’s Articles of

best efforts to obtain shareholder ratification of the appointment of the

The
BridgePointe Nominee may resign from the Company’s Board of Directors at any
time. The Company understands that BridgePointe’s nominee to the
Company’s Board of Directors is an employee of RCP, which is the Investment
Manager for BridgePointe. BridgePointe agrees to have the
BridgePointe Nominee execute an agreement whereby the BridgePointe Nominee
acknowledges and agrees that all material non-public information regarding the
Company which is revealed to the BridgePointe Nominee in his role as a board
member, will be kept confidential and further that a “Chinese Wall” exists in

Acknowledgment”). The Company agrees that subject to receipt a Chinese Wall
Acknowledgment, inside, confidential or non-public information disclosed to the
BridgePointe Nominee shall not be imputed to BridgePointe or RCP, or either or
their employees or any of their affiliates, and the Company agrees
not to restrict any of the following based upon the disclosure of material
non-public information to the BridgePointe Nominee: (i) the issuance of common
stock to BridgePointe upon conversion of its Debentures or exercise of its
Warrants, or (ii) the issuance to BridgePointe of shares of freely trading,
unlegened shares of common stock and the removal of restrictive legends from
shares of common stock, in each case where otherwise allowed under
