WHEREAS, pursuant to the terms of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Company is entitled to receive two million (2,000,000) shares of the common stock, par value $.001 per share, of NVIDIA ("NVIDIA STOCK") upon the satisfaction of certain conditions described therein;


WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of the Company deems it advisable and in the Company's best interest to issue shares of Series B Stock (as defined below) to the Investor in order to generate sufficient cash proceeds to satisfy the Liabilities (as defined in Section 3.5 hereof), thereby enabling the Company to expeditiously wind up, settle and liquidate its affairs and dissolve in accordance with its Plan of Dissolution; and


WHEREAS, the generation of cash from the issuance of the shares of Series B Stock, the satisfaction of the Liabilities and the receipt of shares of NVIDIA Stock by the Company should allow the Company to pay its creditors and maximize the value it is able to deliver to its common shareholders.


NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto agree as follows:


SECTION 1
PURCHASE AND SALE OF STOCK


1.1 Certificate of Determination. The Company shall adopt and file with the Secretary of State of the State of California on or before the Closing Date (as defined below) the Certificate of Determination of the Rights, Preferences, Privileges and Restrictions of Series B Preferred Stock of the Company in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A (the "CERTIFICATE").


1.2 Authorization and Issuance of Series B Stock.

immediately preceding the Closing Date (the "NVIDIA CLOSING PRICE"), with any resulting fraction of a Share to be rounded up to the next whole Share; provided, however, that if the NVIDIA Closing Price is greater than $70, the number of Shares to be issued to the Investor on the Closing Date shall equal that number of Shares to which the Investor would have been entitled had the NVIDIA Closing Price been $70. The calculation of the number of Shares of Series B Stock to be issued to the Investor shall be determined in accordance with the preceding sentence, with reference to the Specified Percentages set forth below that vary based on the NVIDIA Closing Price:

Without limiting the foregoing, such escrow agreement shall further provide for the return to the Investor of the Funding Amount, plus any other amounts provided for in the escrow agreement, in the event (x) of the termination of this Agreement by the Investor or the Company in accordance with the terms of Section 8.1 hereof or (y) that the NVIDIA Stock has not been delivered to the Company, or to an escrow agent or other third party reasonably acceptable to Investor pursuant to an escrow agreement or other arrangement reasonably acceptable to Investor (the "Stock Escrow"), within 3 business days after the Investor's delivery of the Funding Amount to the Cash Funding Escrow; provided that in the event that the Funding Amount is returned to Investor pursuant to clause (y), Investor acknowledges that the terms of this Section 2.1 shall continue to have full effect and Investor may again be required to deliver the Funding Amount in accordance with this Section 2.1 until such time as this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Section 8.1 hereof.

to the Investor), that provision for the payment of the
Liabilities of the Company and its Subsidiaries will be deemed
to have been made and (b) NVIDIA Sub will deliver the NVIDIA
