On March 23, 2010, the Issuer entered into another extension agreement (the “Second Extension Agreement”) with the holders of the Notes, including the Reporting Persons, whereby the maturity date was extended from November 4, 2010, such that the aggregate principal amount will become due and payable in six equal installments of $333,333, or the Installments, on each of the following dates: (1) November 4, 2010; (2) February 4, 2011; (3) May 4, 2011; (4) August 4, 2011; (5) November 4, 2011; and (6) February 4, 2012. In consideration, the holders of the Notes received, among others, the following:

Effective as of December 31, 2010, the Issuer entered into another extension agreement (the “Third Extension Agreement”) with certain holders of the Notes, including the Reporting Persons, or the holders of the Notes, whereby the maturity date was extended such that the remaining balance of the principal amount due to each holder of Notes will become due and payable in four equal quarterly installments (each, an “Installment”) starting April 1, 2012. In consideration, the holders of the Notes received, among others, the following:
 
 
·
the interest rate of the Notes was increased from a fixed annual rate of nine percent (9%), payable in cash together with the applicable Installment, to a fixed annual rate of eleven percent (11%);
 
 
·
the 2006 Warrants held by the holders of the Notes and another person, exercisable into a total of 600,000 ordinary shares, was amended so that the expiration date was extended from (A) the later of (1) February 4, 2012 and (2) date on which the principal amount under the Note issued to the holder, and any interest accrued and outstanding thereon, shall have been fully repaid to the holder to (B) the later of (1) December 31, 2013 and (2) date on which the principal amount under the Note issued to the holder, and any interest accrued and outstanding thereon, shall have been fully repaid to the holder; and
