1. Conversion Price. The definition of "Conversion Price" set
forth in Section 1 of the Purchase Agreement is amended to be
and read as follows:
" "Conversion Price" means an amount equal to the lessor of
(a) a twenty-five (25%) percent discount from the average
closing bid price of the Common Stock as reported by NASDAQ or
on other securities exchanges or markets on which the Common
Stock is listed for the previous three (3) trading days ending
on the day before the Conversion Date, or (b) 2 5/8."
2. Restrictions on Conversion of Debenture. The Purchasers agree
that not to convert any portion of the Remaining Debentures
held by each of them for a period of thirty (30) days from the
date hereof and thereafter not to convert more than 25% of the

day period thereafter (the "Gating Restrictions"). However, in
the event that the closing bid price of the Common Stock as
reported by NASDAQ or on other securities exchanges or markets
on which the Common Stock is listed for the previous five (5)
trading days is $3.50 or greater, the foregoing Gating
Restrictions shall not apply as long as the closing bid price
for the previous five (5) trading days is $3.50 or greater. In
addition, if the Common Stock is not traded on the NASDAQ

foregoing Gating Restrictions shall no longer apply. As used
herein "Remaining Debentures" shall mean those Debentures
described in Exhibit "A" attached hereto.

III. DELIVERY OF SHARES OF COMMON STOCK SUBJECT TO CONVERSION
NOTICE. Assuming that this Agreement is duly executed and delivered by all
parties as of the date hereof, in the interest of settlement and compromise
without admitting liability, the Company agrees to issue instructions to its
transfer agent to honor the conversion notices of the Purchasers as attached as
Exhibit "B hereto (the "Conversion Notices") and to instruct the transfer agent
as of the date hereof to (i) issue such shares of Common Stock to the Purchasers
