NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

3.

Amendments to Financing Warrant.

(a)

Elimination of Provisions Requiring Accounting for a Derivative Liability.  Section 4(a)(i) of the Financing Warrant is amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

(i)  “Triggering Event” means the Issuer doing any of the following after the Original Issue Date: (a) consolidate or merge with or into any other Person and the Issuer shall not be the continuing or surviving corporation of such consolidation or merger, or (b) permit any other Person to consolidate with or merge into the Issuer and the Issuer shall be the continuing or surviving Person but, in connection with such consolidation or merger, any Capital Stock of the Issuer shall be changed into or exchanged for Securities of any other Person or cash or any other property, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other Person, or (d) effect a capital reorganization or reclassification of its Capital Stock.   

A.

The Issuer shall not enter into or be party to a Triggering Event unless (i) the Successor Entity assumes in writing all of the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant pursuant to a written agreement in form and substance approved, in writing, by the






Holder prior to such Triggering Event and (ii) the Successor Entity is a company that has a class of equity securities registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and such security is listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board. Upon the occurrence of any Triggering Event, the Successor Entity shall succeed to, and be substituted for (so that from and after the date of such Triggering Event, the provisions of this Warrant referring to the “Issuer” shall refer instead to the Successor Entity), and may exercise every right and power of the Issuer and shall assume all of the obligations of the Issuer under this Warrant with the same effect as if such Successor Entity had been named as the Issuer herein. Upon consummation of the Triggering Event, the Successor Entity shall deliver to the Holder written confirmation that there shall be issued upon exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Triggering Event, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Triggering Event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Triggering Event, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. In addition to and not in substitution for any other rights hereunder, prior to the consummation of any Triggering Event pursuant to which holders of shares of Common Stock are entitled to receive securities or other assets with respect to or in exchange for shares of Common Stock, the Issuer shall make appropriate provision to insure tha t the Holder will thereafter have the right to receive upon an exercise of this Warrant at any time after the consummation of the Triggering Event but prior to the expiration of the Term, in lieu of the shares of the Common Stock (or other securities, cash, assets or other property) purchasable upon the exercise of this Warrant prior to such Triggering Event, such shares of stock, securities, cash, assets or any other property whatsoever (including warrants or other purchase or subscription rights) which the Holder would have been entitled to receive upon the happening of such Triggering Event had this Warrant been exercised immediately prior to such Triggering Event, as adjusted in accordance with the provisions of this Warrant. Provision made pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in a form and substance reasonably satisfactory to the Holder. The provisions of this Section shall apply similarly and equally to successive Triggering Events and shall be applied without regard to any limitations on the ex ercise of this Warrant.


B.

Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4(a)(i)(A), the Issuer shall have the right to require that the Holder waive the requirements of Section 4(a)(i)(A) (the “Waiver”) in exchange for a payment of cash in an amount equal to the Black-Scholes Value of the remaining unexercised portion of this Warrant on the date of such Triggering Event, with the Waiver becoming effective, and this Warrant cancelled, concurrently with such payment of such cash amount (the “Triggering Event Amount”) to the Holder upon closing the Triggering Event. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 4(a)(i)(B), in no event may the Issuer effect a Triggering Event with a non-publicly traded Successor Entity when the consideration paid upon closing the Triggering Event is anything other than cash.  Notwithstanding anything further to the contrary in this Section 4(a)(i)( B), but subject to the ownership limitation set forth in Section 7, until such time that the Holder receives the Triggering Event Amount (at which point this Warrant shall be cancelled), this Warrant may be exercised, in whole or in part, by the Holder prior to closing the Triggering Event, into Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.”


(b)

Definition of Black-Scholes Value.  The following is inserted as a new definition in Section 8 of the Financing Warrant:




2



Black-Scholes Value” means the value of this Warrant obtained from the "OV" function on the Bloomberg Financial Markets (“Bloomberg”) using (i) a price per share of Common Stock equal to the greater of (A) the arithmetic average of the weighted average price of the Common Stock for the five Trading Days immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Triggering Event and (B) the weighted average price of the Common Stock for the Trading Day immediately preceding the date of consummation of the applicable Triggering Event, (ii) a risk-free interest rate corresponding to the U.S. Treasury rate for a period equal to the remaining term of this Warrant as of the date of consummation of the Triggering Event, and (iii) an expected volatility equal to the 100 day volatility obtained from the HVT function on Bloomberg determ ined as of the Trading Day immediately following the public announcement of the applicable Triggering Event.”

(c)

Definition of Successor Entity.  The following is inserted as a new definition in Section 8 of the Financing Warrant:

Successor Entity” means the Person, which may be the Issuer, formed by, resulting from or surviving any Triggering Event or the Person with which such Triggering Event shall have been made; provided, however, that if such Person is not a company that has a class of equity securities registered pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board, Successor Entity shall mean the entity that, directly or indirectly, controls such Person and whose common shares or equivalent equity security are listed or quoted on a national securities exchange, national automated quotation system or the OTC Bulletin Board.”


(d)

Additional Shares of Common Stock.  The definition of “Additional Shares of Common Stock” in Section 8 of the Financing Warrant is hereby amended to delete clause (xiii) and add the following in its place: “(xiii) securities issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Note Exchange Agreement, dated as of November 25, 2008, by and among the Issuer and the holders signatory thereto, (xiv) securities issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Series C Consent and Exchange Agreement, dated as of November 25, 2008, by and among the Issuer and the holders signatory thereto, (xv) securities issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, dated as of November 25, 2008, by and among the Issuer and the purchasers signatory thereto, (xvi) the payment of any dividends on the Issuer’s Series A convertible preferred stock, (xvii) sec urities issued pursuant to the terms of that certain Amendment No. 2 to Senior Secured Notes by and among the Issuer and the holders named therein, dated as of November 25, 2008, (xviii) any warrants issued to the financial advisor and/or its designees for the transactions contemplated by the Note Exchange Agreement or the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock Purchase Agreement, and (xix) the issuance of Common Stock upon the exercise or conversion of any securities described in clauses (i) through (xviii) above.”  Therefore, the following represents the definition of “Additional Shares of Common Stock” in its entirety:
