REIMBURSEMENT
OBLIGATIONS; SECURITY; OBLIGATIONS ABSOLUTE
Section 2.1
Reimbursement
to the Fund.
(a)
Reimbursement
to the Fund.
To
provide additional security for the payment of MSMI’s obligations under the L/C
Agreement to CTC, the Fund has agreed to enter into the L/C Agreement and
deposit Collateral with CTC pursuant to the L/C Agreement. In the event the
Fund
pays any amounts in respect of its obligations under the L/C Agreement or any
of
the Collateral of the Fund is foreclosed, seized, reduced, debited, or otherwise
taken (referred to herein as a “Reimbursable
Event”),
MSMI
shall immediately, on the same business day as the Reimbursable Event, reimburse
for the amount paid or the Value of the Collateral (as defined in
Section 2.1(e) below) taken in cash by wire transfer of immediately
available funds (all obligations of MSMI under this Section 2.1(a) being
referred to herein as the “Reimbursement
Obligations”).
(b)
If
MSMI fails to pay, in full, the Reimbursement Obligations, on the date due
interest shall accrue on any and all such amounts at an interest rate of fifteen
percent (15%) per annum (the “Default
Rate”),
commencing the day after such amounts first became due until payment in full,
and MSMI hereby agrees to pay such accrued interest to the Fund upon demand.
(c)
In
addition, upon the occurrence of a Reimbursable Event for which MSMI does not
reimburse the Fund as required pursuant to Section 2.1(a) hereof, MSMI will
immediately issue to the Fund warrants with an exercise price of $1.00 per
share, subject to adjustment therein, with a term of exercise of five
(5) years and otherwise in the form attached hereto as Exhibit
A (the
“Additional
Warrants”),
and
entitling the holder to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock equal
to
the Value of the Collateral taken multiplied by two (2) (the “Additional
Warrant Shares”).
For
example, if the Value of the Collateral taken is $540,000, then the Additional
Warrants shall be exercisable for 1,080,0000 shares of Common Stock. The
“Additional
Warrants”
and
the
“Warrants”
are
referred to together herein as the “Securities.”
(d)
In no
event whatsoever shall the interest rate and other charges charged hereunder
exceed the highest rate permissible under any law which a court of competent
jurisdiction, in a final determination, deems applicable hereto. In the event
that a court of competent jurisdiction determines, in a final determination,
that the Fund has received interest and other charges hereunder in excess of
such highest rate, the Fund shall promptly refund such excess amount to MSMI,
and the provisions hereof shall be deemed amended to provide for such
permissible rate.
(e)
If
and for so long as any securities (including securities included in the
Collateral) are listed on a national securities exchange in the United States
of
America, “Value
of the Collateral”
shall
be determined for all purposes under this Agreement by the last sales price
for
such securities on any such exchange on the Business Day immediately preceding
the date of determination or, if there was no sale on that Business Day, by
the
last sales price for such securities on the immediately preceding Business
Day
on which there was a sale thereof on any such exchange, all as quoted on the
“consolidated tape” of the New York Stock Exchange or, if not quoted on such
“consolidated tape”, then as quoted by any such exchange. The “Value
of the Collateral”
of
any
other item of Collateral, and of securities if they are not listed on any such
exchange, shall be determined by the Fund for all purposes (i) based upon
the prices bid (on the Business Day immediately preceding the date of
determination) by banks and broker/dealers which regularly quote prices on
property of the same type as such item of Collateral, or (ii) if no such
quotations are available for such Business Day, based upon such factors as
the
Fund, in its sole and reasonable judgment, shall determine. The “Value
of the Collateral”,
in the
case of interest-bearing Collateral, shall include accrued interest to the
date
on which such Value is determined. Each determination of Market Value by the
Fund shall be conclusive and binding on MSMI in the absence of manifest error.
2
Section 2.2
Form
and Place of Payments; Computation of Interest.
All
payments by MSMI to the Fund hereunder shall be made in lawful currency of
the
United States and in immediately available funds on the date such payment is
due, at such address in the United States of America as the fund shall from
time
to time indicate to MSMI, in U.S. dollars and in immediately available funds.
Whenever any payment hereunder shall be due on a day which is not a business
day, the date for payment thereof shall be extended to the next succeeding
business day, and any interest payable thereof shall be payable for such
extended time at the specified rate. All interest shall be computed on the
basis
of the actual number of days elapsed over a 360-day year and shall include
the
first day but exclude the last day of the relevant period.
Section 2.3

All
Reimbursement Obligations, all interest accrued thereon and all other amounts
from time to time payable by MSMI hereunder, and the performance by MSMI of

such SEC Documents, at the time they were filed with the SEC, contained any
untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required
to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein,
in
the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.
As of
their respective dates, the financial statements of MSMI and the Guarantor
included in such SEC Documents complied as to form in all material respects
with
applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations
of
the SEC with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared
in
accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied,
during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in
such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of
unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may exclude footnotes or may
be
condensed or summary statements) and fairly present in all material respects
the
financial position of MSMI and Guarantor as of the dates thereof and the results
of its operations and cash flows for the periods then ended (subject, in the
case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments). No other
information provided by or on behalf of MSMI or the Guarantor to the Fund that
is not included in the SEC Documents filed since December 31, 2005 contains
any untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact
necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the
circumstance under which they are or were made, not misleading.
3.16
Absence
of Certain Changes.
Except
as disclosed in the SEC Documents, since December 31, 2005, there has been
no material adverse change and no material adverse development in the business,
properties, operations, condition (financial or otherwise), results of
operations or prospects of MSMI or its subsidiaries. Since December 31,
2005, MSMI or Guarantor has not (i) declared or paid any dividends,
(ii) sold any assets, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of
$50,000 outside of the ordinary course of business or (iii) had capital
expenditures, individually or in the aggregate, in excess of $100,000. MSMI
has
not taken any steps to seek protection pursuant to any bankruptcy law nor does
MSMI have any knowledge or reason to believe that its creditors intend to
initiate involuntary bankruptcy proceedings or any actual knowledge of any
fact
which would reasonably lead a creditor to do so. After giving effect to the
transactions contemplated hereby to occur at the Closing, MSMI will not be
Insolvent (as hereinafter defined). For purposes of this Agreement, “Insolvent”
means (i) the present fair saleable value of MSMI’s assets is less than the
amount required to pay MSMI’s total indebtedness, contingent or otherwise,
(ii) MSMI is unable to pay its debts and liabilities, subordinated,
contingent or otherwise, as such debts and liabilities become absolute and
matured, (iii) MSMI intends to incur or believes that it will incur debts
that would be beyond its ability to pay as such debts mature or (iv) MSMI
has unreasonably small capital with which to conduct the business in which
it is
engaged as such business is now conducted and is proposed to be conducted.
3.17
Foreign
Corrupt Practices.
(a)
Since
December 31, 2005, neither MSMI, nor any director, officer, agent, employee
or other Person acting on behalf of MSMI has, in the course of its actions
(a) used any corporate funds for any unlawful contribution, gift,
entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating to political activity,
(b) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic
government official or employee from corporate funds, (c) violated or is in
violation of any provision of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977,
as
amended or (d) made any unlawful bribe, rebate, payoff, influence payment,
kickback or other unlawful payment to any foreign or domestic government
official or employee.
8
(b)
None
of the subsidiaries of MSMI, nor any of their respective directors, officers,
agents, employees or other Persons acting on behalf of such subsidiaries has,
in
the course of their respective actions (a) used any corporate funds for any
unlawful contribution, gift, entertainment or other unlawful expenses relating
to political activity, (b) made any direct or indirect unlawful payment to
any foreign or domestic government official or employee from corporate funds,

Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended or (d) made any unlawful bribe,
rebate, payoff, influence payment, kickback or other unlawful payment to any
foreign or domestic government official or employee.
3.18
Transactions
With Affiliates.
None of
the officers, directors or employees of MSMI is presently a party to any
transaction with MSMI or Guarantor (other than for ordinary course services
as
employees, officers or directors), including any contract, agreement or other
arrangement providing for the furnishing of services to or by, providing for
rental of real or personal property to or from, or otherwise requiring payments
to or from any such officer, director or employee or, to the knowledge of MSMI,
any corporation, partnership, trust or other entity in which any such officer,
director, or employee has a substantial interest or is an officer, director,
trustee or partner.
3.19
Insurance.
MSMI
and Guarantor are insured by insurers of recognized financial responsibility
against such losses and risks and in such amounts as management of MSMI believes
to be prudent and customary in the businesses in which MSMI and Guarantor are
engaged. Neither MSMI nor Guarantor has been refused any insurance coverage
sought or applied for and neither MSMI nor Guarantor has any reason to believe
that it will not be able to renew its existing insurance coverage as and when
such coverage expires or to obtain similar coverage from similar insurers as
may
be necessary to continue its business at a cost that would not have a Material
Adverse Effect.
3.20
Employee
Relations.
Neither
MSMI nor Guarantor is a party to any collective bargaining agreement or employs
any member of a union. No Executive Officer of MSMI (as defined in Rule 501(f)
of the Securities Act) has notified MSMI that such officer intends to leave
MSMI
or otherwise terminate such officer’s employment with MSMI. No Executive Officer
of MSMI, to the knowledge of MSMI, is, or is now, in violation of any material
term of any employment contract, confidentiality, disclosure or proprietary
information agreement, non-competition agreement, or any other contract or
agreement or any restrictive covenant, and the continued employment of each
such
executive officer does not subject MSMI or Guarantor to any liability with
respect to any of the foregoing matters. MSMI and Guarantor are in compliance
with all federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations respecting
employment and employment practices, terms and conditions of employment and
wages and hours, except where failure to be in compliance would not, either
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to result in a Material
Adverse Effect.
3.21
Title.
MSMI
and Guarantor have good and marketable title to all personal property owned
by
them which is material to their respective business, in each case free and
clear
of all liens, encumbrances and defects except such as are described in the
SEC
Documents or such as do not materially affect the value of such property and
do
not interfere with the use made and proposed to be made of such property by
MSMI
and Guarantor. Any real property and facilities held under lease by MSMI and
Guarantor are held by them under valid, subsisting and enforceable leases with
such exceptions as are not material and do not interfere with the use made
and
proposed to be made of such property and buildings by MSMI and Guarantor.

Laws
to conduct their respective businesses and (c) are in compliance with all
terms and conditions of any such permit, license or approval where, in each
of
the foregoing clauses (a), (b) and (c), the failure to so comply could be
reasonably expected to have, individually or in the aggregate, a Material
Adverse Effect. The term “Environmental Laws” means all federal, state, local or
foreign laws relating to pollution or protection of human health or the
environment (including, without limitation, ambient air, surface water,
groundwater, land surface or subsurface strata), including, without limitation,

judgments, licenses, notices or notice letters, orders, permits, plans or
regulations issued, entered, promulgated or approved thereunder.

determined to be due on such returns, reports and declarations, except those
being contested in good faith and (c) have set aside on its books
reasonably adequate provision for the payment of all taxes for periods
subsequent to the periods to which such returns, reports or declarations apply,
except where such failure would not have a Material Adverse Effect. There are

of
any jurisdiction, and the officers of MSMI know of no basis for any such claim.

that are effective as of the date hereof and applicable to it, and any and

not have a Material Adverse Effect.
3.27

MSMI is
not, and immediately after receipt of payment for the Securities will not be,

or
breach of, or default under, any Applicable Contract.
3.29

below-standard quality, all of which have been or will be written off or written
down to net realizable value on the unaudited consolidated balance sheet of
MSMI
and its Subsidiaries as of September 30, 2006. The quantities of each type
of inventory (whether raw materials, work-in-process, or finished goods) are

ARTICLE
IV
REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES OF THE FUND
The
Fund
hereby represents and warrants to MSMI as of the date of this Agreement as
follows:
4.1
Accredited
Investor.
The
Fund acknowledges and agrees that (i) the offering and sale of the
Securities are intended to be exempt from registration under the Securities
Act
by virtue of Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and/or Regulation D
promulgated thereunder, (ii) the Securities have not been registered under
the Securities Act and (iii) MSMI has represented to the Fund (assuming the
veracity of the representations of the Fund made herein) that the Securities
have been offered and sold by MSMI in reliance upon an exemption from
registration provided in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act and
Regulation D thereunder. In accordance therewith and in furtherance
thereof, the Fund represents and warrants to and agrees with MSMI that it is
an
accredited investor (as defined in Rule 501 promulgated under the Securities
Act).
4.2
No
Distribution.
The
Fund hereby represents and warrants that the Fund is acquiring the Securities
hereunder for its own account for investment and not with a view to
distribution, and with no present intention of distributing the Securities
or
selling the Securities for distribution. The Fund understands that the
Securities are being sold to the Fund in a transaction which is exempt from
the
registration requirements of the Securities Act. Accordingly, the Fund
acknowledges that it has been advised that the Securities have not been
registered under the Securities Act and are being sold by MSMI in reliance
upon
the veracity of the Fund’s representations contained herein and upon the
exemption from the registration requirements provided by the Securities Act
and
the securities laws of all applicable states. The Fund’s acquisition of the
Securities shall constitute a confirmation of the foregoing representation
and
warranty and understanding thereof.
4.3
Evaluation.
The
Fund has such knowledge and experience in financial and business matters as
is
required for evaluating the merits and risks of making this investment, and
the
Fund has received such information requested by the Fund concerning the
business, management and financial affairs of MSMI in order to evaluate the
merits and risks of making this investment. Further, the Fund acknowledges
that
the Fund has had the opportunity to ask questions of, and receive answers from,
the officers of MSMI concerning the terms and conditions of this investment
and
to obtain information relating to the organization, operation and business
of
MSMI and of MSMI’s contracts, agreements and obligations or needed to verify the
accuracy of any information contained herein or any other information about
MSMI. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no representation or warranty
is
made by MSMI to induce the Fund to make this investment, and any representation
or warranty not made herein or therein is specifically disclaimed and no
information furnished to the Fund or the Fund’s advisor(s) in connection with
the sale were in any way inconsistent with the information stated herein. The
Fund further understands and acknowledges that no Person has been authorized
by
MSMI to make any representations or warranties concerning MSMI, including as
to
the accuracy or completeness of the information contained in this Agreement.
4.4
Investment
Risks.
The
purchase of the Securities involves risks which the Fund has evaluated, and
the
Fund is able to bear the economic risk of the purchase of such Securities and
the loss of its entire investment. The Fund is able to bear the substantial
economic risk of the investment for an indefinite period of time, has no need
for liquidity in such investment and can afford a complete loss of such
investment. The Fund’s overall commitment to investments that are not readily
marketable is not, and its acquisition of the Securities will not cause such
overall commitment to become, disproportionate to its net worth and the Fund
has
adequate means of providing for its current needs and contingencies.
4.5
Accuracy
of Representations.
The
Fund is making the foregoing representations and warranties with the intent
that
they may be relied upon by MSMI in determining the suitability of the sale
of
the Securities to the Fund for purposes of federal and state securities laws.
Accordingly, the Fund represents and warrants that the information stated herein
is true, accurate and complete.
4.6
Authorization;
Enforceability.
The
individual signing below on behalf of the Fund hereby warrants and represents
that he/she is authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of the Fund.
The
execution and delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the
transactions contemplated hereby have been duly authorized by all requisite
action, if any, in respect thereof on the part of the Fund and no other
proceedings on the part of the Fund are necessary to consummate the transactions
contemplated hereby. This Agreement has been duly and validly executed and
delivered by the Fund and constitutes a valid and binding obligation of the
Fund, enforceable against the Fund in accordance with its terms (subject to
applicable bankruptcy, insolvency and similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally and subject, as to enforceability, to general principles of equity
(whether applied in a proceeding in equity or at law)).
11
4.7
Resale;
Certificate Legend.
In
entering into this Agreement and in purchasing the Securities, the Fund further
acknowledges that:
(a)
Neither the Securities nor any interest therein may be resold by the Fund in
the
absence of a registration under the Securities Act or an exemption from
registration. In particular, the Fund is aware that all of the foregoing
described Securities will be “restricted securities”, as such term is defined in
Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (“Rule 144”), and they may not be
sold pursuant to Rule 144, unless the conditions thereof are met. Other than
as
set forth in this Agreement and the Registration Rights Agreement, MSMI has
no
obligation to register any Securities purchased or issuable hereunder.
(b)
The
following legends (or similar language) shall be placed on the certificate(s)
or
other instruments evidencing the Securities:
THE
SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS [CERTIFICATE] HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED UNDER
THE
SECURITIES ACT OF 1933 (THE “ACT”), OR ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS AND NEITHER

all of MSMI’s reimbursement obligation and interest thereon (with interest at
the rate specified in this Agreement and, to the extent legally enforceable,
on
any interest overdue) shall be paid by or for the account of MSMI, then the
Fund, by written notice or notices to MSMI, may (but shall not be obligated

19
9.3
Other

In case

other appropriate proceeding, whether for the specific performance of any
agreement contained herein or for an injunction against a violation of any
of

the
Fund, MSMI will pay to the Fund such further amount as shall be sufficient
to
cover the cost and the expenses of collection, including, without limitation,
reasonable attorney’s fees, expenses and disbursements. No course of dealing and
no delay on the part of the Fund in exercising any rights shall operate as
a
waiver thereof or otherwise prejudice the Fund’s rights. No right conferred
hereby upon the Fund shall be exclusive of any other right referred to herein
or
therein or now available at law in equity, by statute or otherwise.

(including without limitation, interest, penalties, costs of preparation and
investigation, and the reasonable fees, disbursements and expenses of attorneys,
accountants and other professional advisors) (collectively, “Losses”) directly
or indirectly relating to, resulting from or arising out of any untrue
representation, misrepresentation, breach of warranty or non-fulfillment of
any
covenant, agreement or other obligation by or of MSMI contained herein or in
any
certificate, document, or instrument delivered to the Fund pursuant hereto.
11.2
Indemnification
by the Fund.
The
Fund agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless MSMI and shall reimburse
MSMI
for, from and against all Losses directly or indirectly relating to, resulting
from or arising out of any untrue representation, misrepresentation, breach
of
warranty or non-fulfillment of any covenant, agreement or other obligation
of
the Fund contained herein or in any certificate, document or instrument
delivered to MSMI pursuant hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MSMI hereby
agrees and acknowledges that it has no claim against the Fund under this
Section 11.2 arising from or related to the Fund’s revocation, withdraw or
repudiation of its guaranty, the Fund’s withdraw of Collateral, the Fund’s
refusal to deposit additional Collateral under the L/C Agreement, or the Fund’s
default under the terms of the L/C Agreement.
11.3
Procedure.
The
indemnified party shall promptly notify the indemnifying party of any claim,
demand, action or proceeding for which indemnification will be sought under
Sections 11.1 or 11.2 of this Agreement, and, if such claim, demand, action
or
proceeding is a third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, the
indemnifying party will have the right at its expense to assume the defense
thereof using counsel reasonably acceptable to the indemnified party. The
indemnified party shall have the right to participate, at its own expense,
with
respect to any such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding. In
connection with any such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding, the
Fund and MSMI shall cooperate with each other and provide each other with access
to relevant books and records in their possession. No such third party claim,
demand, action or proceeding shall be settled without the prior written consent
of the indemnified party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. If a firm
written offer is made to settle any such third party claim, demand, action
or
proceeding and the indemnifying party proposes to accept such settlement and
the
indemnified party refuses to consent to such settlement, then: (i) the
indemnifying party shall be excused from, and the indemnified party shall be
solely responsible for, all further defense of such third party claim, demand,
action or proceeding; and (ii) the maximum liability of the indemnifying
party relating to such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding shall
be
the amount of the proposed settlement if the amount thereafter recovered from
the indemnified party on such third party claim, demand, action or proceeding
is
greater than the amount of the proposed settlement.

WHEREAS,
pursuant to the terms of the Guarantee

Accordingly,
in consideration of the mutual promises and covenants hereinafter set forth,

Immediately

date of this Second Amendment as
follows:
(a)
Issuance
of Securities.
The
Company has authorized the issuance of the
May
2007 Warrants,
and the
May 2007 Warrants have been validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and
are
free from all taxes, Liens
and
charges with respect to the issue thereof.
The

will be
validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable and free from all taxes,
Liens
and

to
all rights accorded to a holder of the Common

All

and
each of the other agreements or instruments entered into by the parties hereto
in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Second Amendment
(collectively, the Transaction Documents”). The Transaction
Documents have
been
duly executed and delivered by the Company, and constitute the legal, valid
and
binding obligations of the
Company enforceable
against the
Company in
accordance with their respective terms, except (i) as
such
enforceability may be limited by general principles of equity or applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium, liquidation or similar
laws
relating to, or affecting generally, the enforcement of applicable creditors’
rights and remedies, and (ii) as
any
rights to indemnity or contribution hereunder may be limited by federal and
state securities laws and public policy consideration.
(c) No
Conflicts.
The
execution, delivery and performance of the Transaction
Documents by
the
Company and
the
consummation by the
Company of
the
transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including, without limitation,
the
reservation for issuance of the May 2007 Warrant
Shares)
will
not (i) result
in
a violation of any articles or certificate of incorporation, any certificate
of
designations, preferences and rights of any outstanding series of preferred
stock or bylaws of the
Company or
Guarantor
or
(ii) conflict
with, or constitute a default (or an event which with notice or lapse of time
or
both would become a default) under, or give to others any rights of termination,
amendment, acceleration or cancellation of, any material agreement, indenture
or
instrument to which the
Company or
Guarantor
is
a
party, or (iii) result
in
a violation of any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment or decree (including
federal and state securities laws and regulations) applicable to the
Company or
Guarantor
or
by
which any property or asset of the
Company or
Guarantor
is
bound
or affected, except in the case of clauses (ii) and
(iii),
for
such breaches or defaults as would not be reasonably expected to have a
Material
Adverse Effect.
(d) Placement
Agent’s Fees.
Except
for payments to Midtown Partners & Co., LLC, no brokerage or finder’s fee or
commission are or will be payable to any Person
with
respect to the transactions contemplated by this Second
Amendment based
upon arrangements made by the
Company or
any of
its affiliates. The
Company agrees
that it shall be responsible for the payment of any placement agent’s fees,
financial advisory fees, or brokers’ commissions (other than for persons engaged
by Fund)
relating to or arising out of the transactions contemplated hereby. The
Company shall
pay, and hold the Fund
harmless
against, any liability, loss or expense (including, without limitation,
attorney’s fees and out-of-pocket expenses) arising in connection with any claim
for any such fees or commissions.
(e) Confirmation
of Representation, Warranties, Covenants.
Except
as disclosed in the reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents
filed by the Company since March 16, 2007 with the Securities and Exchange
Commission (the "SEC") pursuant to the reporting requirements of the Securities
Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act") (the "SEC Documents"),
(i)
each
representation and warranty made by the Company or Guarantor in the Guaranty
Fee
Agreement is true and correct as if made as of the date hereof, and (ii) the
Company and the Guarantor have fully complied with each covenant in the Guaranty
Fee Agreement.
3. The
Company and Guarantor hereby agree that the increased drawing amount of the
Letter of Credit is subject to the Company’s Reimbursement Obligations (as
defined in Section 2.1(a) of the Guaranty Fee Agreement), the Guarantor’s
guaranty referenced in Section 2.4 of the Guaranty Fee Agreement, and each
of
the other provisions set forth in the Guaranty Fee Agreement, including, but
not
limited to, Section 2.1(c), related to the issuance of Additional Warrants
and
Additional Warrant Shares, Section 2.3 and Section 2.4, subjecting the increased
drawing amounts to the security interest granted by the Company and the
Guarantor.
4. Section
9.2(a); Remedies.
Section
9.2(a) of the Guarantee Fee Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:
(a) Upon
the
occurrence and continuance of an Event
of
Default,
the
Fund
may
at
any time (unless all defaults shall theretofore have been remedied) at its
option, by written notice or notices to the
Company (i) declare
the Reimbursement
Obligations to
be due
and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith mature and become due and
payable, together with interest accrued thereon, without presentment, demand,
protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived; and (ii) declare
any other amounts payable to the Fund
under
this Agreement
or
as
contemplated hereby to be due and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith
mature and become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereon,
without presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby waived,
(iii) declare any other amounts payable to the Fund
under
any
other agreement between the Fund and the Company, or between the Fund and the
Guarantor, to be due and payable, whereupon the same shall forthwith mature
and
become due and payable, together with interest accrued thereon, without
presentment, demand, protest or notice, all of which are hereby
waived.
27
5. Ratification
of Agreement.
The
terms and conditions of the Guarantee Fee Agreement that have not been modified
by this First Amendment shall remain in full force and effect against the
Company, Guarantor, and the Fund.
6. Counterparts.
This
Second
Amendment may
be
executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original,
but
all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, this Second Amendment has been executed by the parties hereto
the day and year first above written.
