WHEREAS, the parties wish to provide for a temporary reduction in the exercise price of the shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants, provided that a portion of the cash proceeds received by the Company related to any exercise of shares of Common Stock underlying the Warrants by any Purchaser shall be used by the Company to make a partial prepayment of the outstanding principal amount of their respective Note;

 

WHEREAS, Section 13(e) of the NP Agreement and Section 10 of the Warrants permit any provision of the NP Agreement and the Warrants, as applicable, to be amended upon the written consent of the holder or holders representing at least a majority of the principal amount of the Notes outstanding;

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual agreements herein contained and for other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereto agree as follows:

Purchaser’s respective Note. In addition, the Company agrees to pay all accrued and unpaid interest with respect to any prepayment amount on the same date as the prepayment of the Notes pursuant to this Section 2(b), which shall be no later than the end of business on May 2, 2006.

 

(c)           The parties agree that each Electing Purchaser shall return their Note to the Company so that it may mark such Note with a notation to properly indicate that a portion of the outstanding principal amount has been prepaid in accordance with the terms of this Ominbus Amendment and the terms set forth in Section 3(c) of the NP Agreement.

 

3.             WAIVER. The parties acknowledge that the Company is also offering (a) a permanent reduction in the exercise price of warrants issued on July 28, 2005 to holders of subordinated debt from an exercise price of $1.55 per share to $1.43 per share and (b) a temporary reduction in the exercise price of warrants issued on July 28, 2005 to Libra FE, LP. from an exercise price of $2.00 per share to $1.85 per share, from April 7, 2006 until April 30, 2006 (collectively, the “Simultaneous Offer”). The Purchasers hereby agree to forever waive any anti-dilution adjustments set forth in Section 2 of the Warrants triggered with respect to the Simultaneous Offer only.
