Common Stock in the September Public Offering, Mr. McNamee may be deemed to beneficially

Stock outstanding.

Amendment
), dated as of September 22, 2009, by and among

WHEREAS, the parties hereto previously entered into the Agreement, which relates to the
Company, the Purchased Shares, the Conversion Shares, the Warrants and the Warrant Shares;
WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 3.6 of the Agreement, the Company and the Holders holding a
majority of the Registrable Securities may amend the Agreement; and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and other good and valuable consideration,
receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1.

following:
Registrable Securities

or issuable upon the conversion of Series B Preferred Stock or Series C Preferred
Stock held by the Holders, (ii) the Warrant Shares held by any Holder or issuable
upon the exercise of Warrants held by the Holders, (iii) any of the 8,166,666 shares
of Common Stock purchased and received by the Holders on March 13, 2009 and held by
any Holder, (iv) any of the 2,153,846 shares of Common Stock purchased by the
Holders on September 22, 2009 and held by any Holder and (v) any Common Stock or
other securities which may be issued, converted, exchanged or distributed in respect
thereof, or in substitution therefor, in connection with any stock split, dividend

public pursuant to Rule 144, or (C) such securities shall have ceased to be
2

of Common Stock which are Registrable Securities, including shares issuable upon the
conversion, exchange or exercise of any security convertible, exchangeable or
exercisable into Common Stock (including the Series B Preferred Stock, the Series C
Preferred Stock and the Warrants).
