In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements set forth herein and for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to amend that certain Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of February 14, 2008, as amended by that certain First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement, dated as of March 12 2008 (as amended, the “Agreement”), between the Company and Buyer.

Section 1. All capitalized terms used but not defined in this Amendment shall have the respective meanings ascribed to such terms in the Agreement.

Section 2. The definition of “Initial Filing Deadline” contained in Section 1(i) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:

“i. “Initial Filing Deadline” means July 30, 2008; provided, however that, if on the Exchange Closing Date the Warrant Registrable Securities are not then eligible for sale on a delayed or continuous basis by the Investors pursuant to Rule 415, the Initial Filing Deadline shall be the later of (i) July 30, 2008 and (ii) the earlier of (A) the date that is the tenth (10th) Business Day following the date on which the Investors shall have delivered to the Company the information required by Item 508 of Regulation S-K under the Securities Act with respect to a plan of distribution for the Warrant Registrable Shares other than in accordance with Rule 415 and (B) the first date on which the Warrant Registrable Securities are eligible for sale on a delayed or continuous basis by the Investors pursuant to Rule 415.”
