set forth below, each of which was previously disclosed in the Reporting Person’s Schedule 13D dated February 18, 2003:
     (a)     Under the terms of the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and the Reporting Person dated as of February 18, 2003 (the “Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement”), as long as the Reporting Person or any of his affiliates beneficially own five percent (5%) of the outstanding shares of common stock, calculated on a fully-diluted basis, the Company agrees to nominate for election to its Board of Directors the Reporting Person or a designee of the Reporting Person to serve in such capacity, and the Company agrees to use its best efforts to procure the election and reelection to the Board of Directors of the Reporting Person or his designee.
     (b)     Upon each conversion of the Note (as defined in the Convertible Note and Warrant Purchase Agreement) or upon the grant by the Company of any of the 568,386 available but unissued stock options under the issuer’s stock option plan, the Company agrees to issue additional warrants entitling the Reporting Person to purchase shares of common stock equal to ten percent (10%) of the shares of common stock either issued upon such conversion of the Note or issuable upon the exercise of such stock options.
