      existing benefit plans) or other securities convertible into shares of
      Common Stock at a price, or in the case of convertible securities with any
      conversion price, per share of Common Stock that is less than $1.50, or
      (y) participates in, or enters into negotiations for, a merger,
      consolidation or other business combination transaction that is
      consummated (even if consummated beyond such six-month period) whereby the
      other party to such transaction acquires more than 50% of the Company's
      then issued and outstanding Common Stock or substantially all of the
      Company's assets, which transaction results in the Company's Common
      Stockholders receiving consideration with a fair market value per share
      (determined in good faith by the Company's Board of Directors after
      consultation with the Purchasers) that is less than $1.50, or (ii) within
      120 days of the Option Closing Date (as such term is defined in the
      Subscription Agreement), the Company is unable to cause a registration
      statement, covering the shares of Common Stock issued to the Reporting
      Person in accordance with the Subscription Agreement, to be filed with and
      declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

            (b) - (c) not applicable.

      entitled to attend (but not to vote at) all meetings of the board of
      directors of the Company and each meeting of any committee thereof and
      receive information with respect thereto, or (ii) designate one individual
      to be appointed to the Company's board of directors.
