Re: Loan Agreement dated May 14, 2001 by and between MUSI
Investments, S.A. and Xxxxxx Technologies, Inc. (the "Loan
Agreement"); capitalized terms used in this letter agreement
shall have the meanings provided in the Loan Agreement.
Gentlemen:
This letter is to confirm our mutual understanding and
agreement that MUSI Investments, S.A. ("MUSI") consents to the following actions
by Xxxxxx Technologies, Inc. ("Borrower"): (1) Xxxxxx Technologies shall be
required to apply the net cash proceeds of Private Placements closed after May
14, 2001 to repay the outstanding principal amount of the MUSI Loan only to the
extent that the aggregate net cash proceeds of such Private Placements, plus the
net cash proceeds of the Designated Private Placements exceed $2,550,000; (2)
Interest on the MUSI Loan shall be payable quarterly in arrears provided that
the interest payment due on October 1, 2001 and subsequent payments of interest
will be deferred until the maturity date of the Convertible Note; and (3) Xxxxxx
shall be permitted to incur short-term unsecured indebtedness up to an aggregate
amount outstanding of $250,000 at any one time which amount may be owing to
Persons other than MUSI.
MUSI hereby consents to the foregoing matters and waives any
default or event of default arising under the Loan Agreement or any other Loan
Document as a result of the foregoing matters. In furtherance and not in
limitation of the foregoing, MUSI and the Borrower agree as follows:
1. Sections 2C and 2D of the Loan Agreement are amended and
restated to read in their entirety as follows:
C. Borrower shall apply the aggregate net cash proceeds of all
Private Placements, including the Designated Private Placements,
received by Borrower in excess of Two Million Five Hundred Fifty
Thousand Dollars ($2,550,000) to repay any outstanding principal amount
of the MUSI Loan until the same has been repaid in full.
D. Interest and Principal. Interest on the principal amount
outstanding under the MUSI Loan from time to time shall accrue at a
variable rate of the Prime Rate, plus seventy-five basis points (.75%)
per annum, which accrued interest shall be payable quarterly in arrears
except that, beginning with the payment due on October 1, 2001, said
payment and future interest payments will be deferred until the Maturity Date.
The principal of the Convertible Note shall be repaid in full on the Maturity
Date, together with all accrued but unpaid interest.
2. Section 7E(5) of the Loan Agreement is amended and restated
to read as follows:
"(5) short-term unsecured indebtedness up to an aggregate
amount outstanding of $250,000 at any one time."
3. The second sentence in the second paragraph of Section 4 of
the Convertible Note is amended and restated to read as follows:
"Interest thereon shall be paid: (1) for the quarter ending June 30,
2001, on the first business day after the end of such quarter; and (2)
for the quarters ending September 30, 2001 and December 31, 2001, on
January 2, 2002."
Except for the amendments set forth above, the text of the
Loan Agreement and the Convertible Note shall remain unchanged and in full force
and effect; provided, however, that if there is any conflict between the terms
