and
WHEREAS,
the
Company has agreed to make certain payments as set forth herein.
NOW,
THEREFORE,
in
consideration of the above, and for other good and valuable consideration,
the
receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto
agree as follows:
Waiver
and Amendment
1. The
parties hereby acknowledge that certain principal and/or interest payments
previously due under the terms of the September 2006 Convertible Note have
been
waived and deferred (all such amounts the “Prior Deferred Amounts”). Each Holder
hereby further consents to the deferral of payment of the Monthly Amounts under
the September 2006 Convertible Note otherwise due on January 7, 2008 and
February 1, 2008 (the “Deferred Amounts”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Company hereby covenants and agrees that the Prior Deferred Amounts and the
Deferred Amounts shall be payable in full on the earlier to occur of the
Maturity Date and the date upon which all obligations arising under the Loan
Documents have been paid in full. For the avoidance of doubt, from and after
March 1, 2008, regularly scheduled amortizing Monthly Amounts required pursuant
to the terms of the September 2006 Convertible Note will be due and payable
per
the terms and on the date set forth in the September 2006 Convertible Note.
2. The
definition of the “Maturity Date” appearing in the July 2007 Term Note is hereby
amended and extended to “June 30, 2009”.
Miscellaneous
3. In
consideration of the foregoing, the Company hereby agrees that, on the earlier
to occur of the Maturity Date and the date upon which all obligations arising
under the Loan Documents have been paid in full, the Company shall pay (i)
$140,085.33 in cash to Agent (the “Holder
Payment”)
which
Holder Payment shall be distributed by Agent to each Holder as follows:
$7,435.70
to VOFSPVI (the “VOF Payment”)
$5,466.13
to VUSSPVI (the “VUS Payment”)
$127,183.50
to Laurus (the “Laurus Payment”)
and
(ii)
$9,916.67 in cash to Laurus Capital Management, LLC (“LCM”)
(the

in
each case in addition to all other obligations arising under the Loan
Documents.
In
respect of the Laurus Payment only, Laurus and the Company hereby agree that
the
fair market value of the Laurus Payment (as reasonably determined by the
parties) received in consideration of the amendments to the September 2006
Convertible Note made hereunder is hereby designated as interest and,
accordingly, shall be treated, on a pro rata basis, as a reduction of the
remaining stated Principal Amount (which reduced Principal Amount shall be
treated as the issue price) of the September 2006 Convertible Note for U.S.
federal income tax purposes under and pursuant to Treasury Regulation Sections
1.1001-3(e)(2)(iii), 1.1273-2(g)(2)(ii) and 1.1274-2(b)(1). The parties further
agree to file all applicable tax returns in accordance with such
characterization and shall not take a position on any tax return or in any
judicial or administrative proceeding that is inconsistent with such
characterization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing contained in this
paragraph shall or shall be deemed to modify or impair in any manner whatsoever
the Company’s obligations from time to time owing to Laurus under the
Loan Documents.
2
The
LCM
Payment is a non-refundable payment, which payment is intended to defray certain
of LCM’s due diligence, legal and other expenses incurred in connection with
this Agreement and all related matters.
4. The
waiver and amendments set forth above shall be effective as of the date first
above written (the “Amendment
Effective Date”)
on the
date when each of the Company, the Holders and the Agent shall have duly
executed this Amendment and the Company shall have delivered to the Agent its
respective counterpart to this Amendment.
5. Except
as
specifically set forth in this Amendment, there are no other amendments,
modifications or waivers to the Loan Documents, and all other forms, terms
and
provisions of the Loan Documents remain in full force and effect.
6. The
Company hereby represents and warrants to the Holders that except as set forth
on Exhibit A, upon execution and effectiveness of this Amendment, (i) after
giving effect to this Amendment, no Event of Default (as defined in the Loan
Documents) exists on the date hereof, (ii) on the date hereof, after giving
effect to this Amendment, all representations and warranties made by the Company
in connection with the Loan Documents, as amended, modified or supplemented,
are
true, correct and complete and (iii) on the date hereof, after giving effect
to
this Amendment, all of the Company’s and its Subsidiaries’ covenant requirements
have been met.
7. This
Amendment shall be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective
successors and permitted assigns and shall inure to the benefit of and be
enforceable by each of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns. THIS
AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH AND GOVERNED BY
THE
LAW OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK.
This
Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall
be
an original, but all of which shall constitute one instrument.
