              "(vi) two (2) persons who initially shall be designated by the existing Board of Directors, and who, starting at the next annual meeting of the stockholders of the Company, shall be elected in accordance with the certificate of incorporation and bylaws of the Company; and"


            (b)   A new Section 22(vii) is hereby added to the Investor Rights Agreement to read as follows:

              "(vii) after the date hereof, the Board of Directors shall undertake the process of identifying one (1) person approved by a majority of the existing Board of Directors, including the approval of at least one of the Series P Directors and the QRS Director, who shall have relevant experience in the industry and have no affiliation with the Company and who shall replace one (1) Series P Director (the "Industry Director") (and the entity previously entitled to designate such Series P Director shall no longer retain such right. Thereafter, the Industry Director shall be designated by a majority of the existing Board of Directors, including the approval of at least one of the Series P Directors and the QRS Director, who shall have relevant experience in the industry and have no affiliation with the Company.

              Each of the parties further covenants and agrees to vote, to the extent possible, all Shares so that the authorized number of members of the Company's Board of Directors shall consist of nine (9) members.

              In the absence of any designation from the persons or groups so designating directors as specified above, the director previously designated by them and then serving shall be re-elected if still eligible to serve as provided herein.

              No party hereto shall vote to remove any member of the Board of Directors designated in accordance with the aforesaid procedure unless the persons or groups so designating directors as specified above so vote, and, if such persons or groups so vote then the non-designating party or parties shall likewise so vote. In the event that the person serving as the director to be elected as the CEO Director ceases to serve as the Chief Executive Officer of the Company, each of the parties hereto agrees to vote all of its Shares for the removal of such director at the request of a majority of the Board of Directors, excluding the director to be removed.

              The rights set forth in this Section 22 shall expire upon the first sale of Common Stock pursuant to a registration statement under the Securities Act."

        2.    Consent.    Each Preferred Holder hereby consents to the increase in the size of the Board from seven to nine members.

        3.    Counterparts.    This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

        4.    Titles and Subtitles.    The titles and subtitles used in this Amendment are used for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting this Amendment.

        5.    Entire Agreement.    The Investor Rights Agreement, as modified by this Amendment, and the documents referred to herein and therein constitute the entire agreement among the parties in respect of the subject matter hereof and thereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any other party in any manner by any warranties, representations or covenants except as specifically set forth herein or therein.
