</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">This is to set forth our agreement regarding the payment of my salary.</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">For the two week pay period ending October&nbsp;3, 2008, the obligation of the Company to pay my base
salary as well as any other cash amounts shall be deferred until the Company acquires sufficient
cash resources to pay such deferred amounts (the &#147;Triggering Event&#148;). We agree that the
determination as to the appropriate time to pay the deferred amounts shall be within the sole
discretion of the Board of Directors. For purposes of clarification, amounts that are referred to
as deferred amounts herein shall be amounts that are accrued as obligations of the Company but
which shall not be paid until and unless there is a Triggering Event.</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">From the two week pay period ending October&nbsp;17, 2008 until the Triggering Event, the Company shall
pay to me 40% of my base salary (the &#147;40% Amount&#148;). The difference between the salary amounts I had
been receiving prior to the pay period ending October&nbsp;17, 2008 (e.g. $90 ,000 per annum) and the
40% Amount shall be deferred. For purposes of clarification, amounts that are referred to as
deferred amounts herein shall be amounts that are accrued as obligations of the Company but which
shall not be paid until and unless there is a Triggering Event.</DIV>


<DIV align="left" style="margin-left: 0%; text-indent: 0%; margin-right: 0%; font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">This letter agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together
shall constitute one letter agreement.</DIV>
