Item 6. Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.
     As previously disclosed by the Issuer in its Registration Statement on Form SB-2 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 20, 2007, the following arrangements with respect to the securities of the Issuer were entered into.
     Overview
     On January 19, 2007, the Issuer entered into a series of agreements with (i) Castlerigg Master Investments, Ltd. (the “Original Note Holder”), (ii) the Master Fund, and (iii) Millennium Partners, L.P., Phoenix Partners, LP, Phoenix Partners II, LP, Phaeton International (BVI), Ltd. and PreX Capital Partners, LLC, pursuant to a restructuring and private placement transaction, providing for, among other things, the sale of the Issuer’s senior convertible note by the Original Note Holder to the Master Fund.
     The agreements include, without limitation, a Note Purchase Agreement, a Note Terms Agreement, a Securities Purchase Agreement, an Amendment to Securities Purchase Agreement, a Registration Rights Agreement with the Master Fund, a new Senior Convertible Note and a new Class B Warrant to purchase shares of Common Stock issued in the name of the Master Fund and various ancillary certificates, disclosure schedules and exhibits in support thereof, each dated January 19, 2007.
     The following is a summary of each of the agreements relating to the Master Fund. These summaries are not complete, and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the agreements, each of which is attached as an exhibit to the Current Report on Form 8-K, which was filed by the Issuer on January 25, 2007. Readers should review those agreements for a complete understanding of the terms and conditions associated with the transactions described herein.
     Note Purchase Agreement
     The Note Purchase Agreement was entered into by and among the Issuer, the Original Note Holder and the Master Fund. The Note Purchase Agreement provides for the sale of the senior convertible note (the “Note”) and the Class B Warrant (the “Class B Warrant”) by the Original Note Holder to the Master Fund. The Note Purchase Agreement also provided for the release of approximately $2,564,267 of funds held in escrow under the terms of the Note. The purchase price paid by the Master Fund to the Original Note Holder was $7,564,267, of which $1,500,000 was paid from the released escrowed funds, reducing the Master Fund purchase price to $6,064,267. The remaining escrow of $1,064,267 was released to the Issuer.

     Note Terms Agreement
     The Note Terms Agreement was entered into by the Issuer and the Master Fund. Under the terms of the Note Terms Agreement, the Note was amended to provide that it automatically converted into that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the sum of the aggregate amount of accrued but unpaid principal and interest due in respect of the Note divided by $2.00. This automatic conversion became effective on February 16, 2007, and the outstanding principal and interest on the Note was converted into a total of 3,050,203 shares of Common Stock. Upon conversion of the Note into Common Stock, all of the covenants and required payments related to the Note ceased to exist and the Class B Warrant purchased from the Original Note Holder was cancelled. Under the Note Terms Agreement, the Issuer agreed to expand its Board of Directors and add two new directors, one of whom will be designated by the Master Fund.
     Registration Rights Agreement with Master Fund
     The Registration Rights Agreement with the Master Fund requires the Issuer to file a registration statement for the resale of the shares issuable upon conversion of the Note. The Registration Rights Agreement also provides that the registration statement must be filed within 5 days after the Issuer receives stockholder approval for the issuance of such shares or exemption from the Nasdaq Stock Market (“NASDAQ”) from such requirement, must be declared effective by the SEC within 120 days (or 90 days if there is no review of the registration statement by the SEC), and must remain effective and available for use until earlier of the date the date all of such securities have been sold pursuant to the registration statement or the second anniversary of the date of the conversion of the Note1. If the Issuer fails to meet the deadlines for the filing or the effectiveness of the registration statement, the Issuer is required to pay monthly liquidated damages of 1% of the outstanding principal amount of the Note plus accrued interest thereon until such failure is cured. The total penalties payable for failure to have a registration statement declared effective are capped at 12%. This Registration Rights Agreement provides for customary indemnification for the Issuer and the Master Fund. This Registration Rights Agreement also entitles the Master Fund to certain demand and piggyback registration rights.
     Senior Convertible Note
     In connection with the transactions, the Master Fund purchased the Senior Convertible Note from the Original Note Holder. The Issuer then cancelled this Senior Convertible Note and issued an identical note to the Master Fund, which was cancelled on February 16, 2007, in connection with the conversion of the Senior Convertible Note into Common Stock.
 
1   Please note that (i) NASDAQ granted the Issuer’s request for an exemption to forgo a stockholder vote on the issuance of new securities, as previously disclosed in its Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the SEC on February 7, 2007 and (ii) the Issuer filed a shelf Registration Statement on Form SB-2 on February 20, 2007, pursuant to which the Master Fund may resell its shares of Common Stock.
