("Company"), a Delaware corporation, and Richard P. Kiphart ("Noteholder") and made with respect to the facts set forth below. R E C I T A L S A. The Company desires to restructure its long-term and short-term debt by conversion of such debt into equity and to raise funds for working capital and possible acquisitions. The Noteholder desires to participate in and implement such debt restructure and capital raise as more specifically provided herein. B. As of the Effective Date, the Company had issued and outstanding the following principal amount of convertible debt and notes: (i) subordinated convertible debt due September 30, 2004 ("2000-2004 Convertible Notes") in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $7,805 as of June 30, 2006, (ii) subordinated convertible pay-in-kind notes due June 1, 2006 ("2002-2006 Convertible Notes") in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $4,733,065 as of June 30, 2006, (iii) subordinated convertible pay-in-kind notes due September 30, 2007 ("2003-2007 Convertible Notes") in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $1,095,413, as of June 30, 2006, (iv) subordinated convertible pay-in-kind notes due September 30, 2009 ("2005-2009 Convertible Notes") in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $267,213 as of June 30, 2006, (v) term notes due June 30, 2006 in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $245,637, and (vi) demand promissory notes ("Demand Notes") in the approximate aggregate principal amount of $125,746 as of June 30, 2006. In addition, the Company had booked accrued salaries in the approximate aggregate amount of $200,000 ("Accrued Salary"), and certain other accounts payable ("Accounts Payable") as more specifically described herein. The 2002-2004 Convertible Notes, the 2002-2006 Convertible Notes, the 2003-2007 Convertible Notes and the 2005-2009 Convertible Notes are referred to herein collectively as the "Convertible Notes." C. The Company's 2002-2004 Convertible Notes and the 2002-2006 Convertible Notes have matured and the Company lacks funs to repay such indebtedness. D. The Noteholder together with Christopher Capps ("Capps") submitted a written, non-binding letter of intent dated May 23, 2006, to the Company ("May 23rd Proposal"). The May 23rd Proposal provides, among other terms, that the Noteholder would invest new capital in the Company and convert all of Noteholder's Convertible Notes and Demand Notes and in consideration thereof the Company would sell to Noteholder shares of Company common stock at a share price of One and One-Half Cents ($0.015) per share, and the Board of Directors would approve the reduction of the conversion price of all outstanding Company Convertible Notes and Demand Notes to One and One-Half Cents ($0.015) per share from the current conversion price in the range of $0.25 to $0.10 per share. The Noteholder requires as a condition to the transaction that all Company Convertible Notes, Demand Notes, Accrued Salary and certain Accounts Payable would be converted into Company common stock as more specifically provided herein. The May 23rd Proposal also provides that the Company would offer its stockholders the right to purchase shares of common stock at the same $0.015 per share price. Page 1 of 24 E. The Special Committee of the Board of Directors of the Company ("Special Committee") was appointed to consider the May 23rd Proposal and negotiate with the Noteholder the terms of the May 23rd Proposal and this Agreement. F. The Noteholder has informed the Special Committee and the Board of Directors that, in the absence of the Company entering into this Agreement, he would declare a default under the 2002-2006 Convertible Notes, and seek to exercise all collection and other remedies. G. The Board of Directors, on behalf of the Company, has engaged an independent investment banking firm to render an opinion as to whether the consideration to be received by the Company in the transaction contemplated by this Agreement is fair, from a financial point of view, to the stockholders of the Company. NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing Recitals and for the mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE 1. TRANSACTION. The "Transaction" means collectively all the transactions described in this Article 1. The Transaction and all parts thereof shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 1.1 Sale and Purchase of Shares of Company common stock. Noteholder hereby subscribes for and contributes, and, may, in Noteholder's discretion, cause Capps, certain family members of Noteholder and prospective board members (collectively "related persons"), if any, to subscribe for and contribute, to the Company the aggregate sum of $6,500,000.00 (collectively, "New Capital") for shares of Company common stock at a share price of One and One-Half Cents ($0.015) per share of Company common stock ("New Shares"). The New Capital shall be paid by wire transfer to the Company in accordance with the following payment terms: (i) on or before the First Closing Date, Noteholder shall pay to the Company an amount equal to One Million One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($1,100,000.00) ("First Payment") to acquire 73,333,333 New Shares. The balance of the New Capital shall be paid to the Company concurrently with (but no later than one (1) business day after) the filing with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware ("Delaware Secretary of State") of the Amendment to Certificate as provided in Section 1.6 below. Upon receipt of the New Capital, the Company promptly shall arrange to deliver to Noteholder by appropriate certificates or other instruments satisfactory to Noteholder the appropriate amount of New Shares purchased pursuant to this Section 1.1.

Page 10 of 24 3.7. Investment Representations. (a) Noteholder is acquiring the New Shares and the Conversion Shares (collectively "Securities") solely for his own account as an investment and not with a view to any distribution or resale thereof in violation of the Securities Act. Noteholder has been advised that the Securities have not been registered under the Securities Act or under the provisions of any state securities or "blue sky" law. Noteholder, by accepting the Securities, agrees and acknowledges that he will not directly or indirectly offer, transfer, sell, assign, pledge, encumber, hypothecate or dispose of any of such Securities (or to solicit any offers to purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of any of the Securities) unless such offer, transfer, sale, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, hypothecation or other disposition is made (i) pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act and in compliance with all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws or (ii) pursuant to an available exemption from registration under, or otherwise in compliance with, the Securities Act and all applicable state securities or "blue sky" laws. Noteholder understands and agrees that in the case of a transfer or other disposition made pursuant to clause (ii) above, each purchaser of Securities shall be required to provide to the Company an opinion of counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Company to the effect that registration under the Securities Act is not required and that qualification or registration under any such state securities laws and regulations is not required (or that any applicable state qualification or registration requirements have been satisfied in full). (b) Noteholder is a director of the Company and an "accredited investor" (as such term is defined in Rule 501 of Regulation D of the Securities Act). The financial situation of Noteholder is such that he can afford to bear the economic risk of holding the unregistered Securities for an indefinite period of time. Noteholder can afford to suffer the complete loss of his investment in the Securities. The knowledge and experience of Noteholder in financial and business matters is such that he is capable of evaluating the risk of the investment in the Securities. Noteholder acknowledges that he has had access to such financial and other information, and has been afforded the opportunity to ask such questions of representatives of the Company, and receive answers thereto, as Noteholder has deemed necessary in connection with his decision to purchase the Securities, and that no representation or warranties, express or implied, are being made by the Company with respect to the Company or the Securities, other than those expressly set forth herein. (c) Noteholder has been further advised and understands that a limited trading market and illiquid public market now exists for the Securities issued by the Company and that a viable public market may never exist for the Securities. 3.8. Permitted Securities Legends. The certificates representing the Securities shall bear a legend evidencing such restriction on transfer substantially in the following form: "The shares represented by this certificate have been acquired for investment and have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Act") or the securities laws of any state. The shares may not be transferred by sale, assignment, pledge or otherwise unless (i) a registration statement for the shares under the Act is in effect or (ii) the corporation has received an opinion of counsel, which opinion is reasonably satisfactory to the corporation, to the effect that such registration is not required under the Act or the securities laws of any state." Page 11 of 24 The certificates representing the Securities also shall bear legends required or necessitated by law. ARTICLE 4. COVENANTS. 4.1. Conduct of Business. The parties acknowledge that because of a lack of capital during 2006, the Company has substantially curtailed its operations and research and development. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement or as consented to in writing by Noteholder, during the period from the Effective Date to the Closing or termination of this Agreement if applicable, the Company shall not undertake any actions inconsistent with its business practices during 2006. 4.2.
