the Company is presently engaged in several negotiations aimed at raising
substantial additional equity financing in an amount of at least
$1,000,000, but may require additional bridge financing in the form of
Company debt in the immediate future, and prior to the time when the

person, the Company shall provide a copy of the proposal and/or a summary
of the terms of such proposed financing to Investor, which shall have one
business day from receipt of such information to determine whether to
exercise its first right of refusal, and fund the Bridge Financing on the
same terms and conditions as have been offered by the other party. If
Investor rejects such offer, or fails to respond within the applicable
period, the Company shall be free to accept such proposal from the other
party. Any substantial change in the terms of such proposal by the other
party subsequent to a rejection by Investor and prior to funding shall
reactivate Investor's first right of refusal, which shall be presented to
