to reflect the aforementioned and certain other changes thereto as set forth
herein:
1. Section
2 of the Restated Original Voting Agreement shall be amended and replaced in
its
entirety, effective as of the effective date of this First Amendment, to read
as
follows:
“2. Nominations
of Directors.
“(a) Qualmax
shall be entitled at all times until the 2009 annual meeting of the stockholders
of the Company to designate two (2) individuals (the “Qualmax Nominees”)
to serve as directors, which Qualmax Nominees shall initially be M. Xxxxx Xxxxxx

Xxxxx Xxxxxx shall be a Class III director. Xxx

of the Company to designate three (3) individuals (the “P&S

be elected by the Voting Stockholders (provided that such nominees remain
willing to serve) such that the Qualmax Nominees and the P&S Nominees shall
serve on the Board until the 2009 annual meeting of the stockholders of the
Company (and in the Classes specified herein).
“(d) If,
prior to an individual’s election to the Board, any individual designated to
serve as a director shall be unable or unwilling to serve as a director, the
group who designated any such individual to serve as a director pursuant to
the
provisions of this Section 2 shall be entitled to designate a replacement
in accordance with the provisions of this Section 2 who shall then be
elected a director.
“(e) No
Voting Stockholder, nor any affiliate of any such Voting Stockholder, shall
have
any liability as a result of designating a person for election as a director,
or
for any act or omission by such designated person in his or her capacity as
a
director of the Company, nor shall any Voting Stockholder have any liability
as
a result of voting for any such designee in accordance with the provisions
of
this Agreement.”
2. Section
4(d) of the Restated Original Voting Agreement shall be deleted in its
entirety. Any reference in the Restated Original Voting Agreement to
“TBTE” shall be replaced with “Xx. Xxxxxx”. Sections 22(a) and 22(c)
of the Restated Original Voting Agreement shall be deleted in their
entirety.
3. Except
as specifically amended hereby, the Restated Original Voting Agreement is hereby
ratified and confirmed in all respects and shall remain in full force and
effect.

the extent of any inconsistency between the terms of the Restated Original
Voting Agreement and this First Amendment, the terms of this First Amendment
will control. Each reference in the Restated Original Voting
Agreement to “this Agreement,” “herein,” “hereunder” or words of similar import
shall be deemed to be a reference to the Restated Original Voting Agreement
as
amended by this First Amendment, and the Restated Original Voting Agreement
as
so amended shall be read as a single, integrated document.
5. This
First Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, and by the
different parties hereto in separate counterparts, each of which when executed
shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. Facsimile transmission of any
signed original counterpart and/or retransmission of any signed facsimile
transmission shall be deemed the same as the delivery of an
original. The introductory Recitals are incorporated into and made a
substantive part of this First Amendment.
