WHEREAS, the Parties are party to the Subordinated Bridge Note Purchase Agreement (as amended, herein referred to as the “Note Purchase Agreement”), dated as of November 26, 2001.

 

WHEREAS, the Parties amended the Note Purchase Agreement on March 4, 2002, March 19, 2002 and April 3, 2002 and desire to further amend the Note Purchase Agreement to change the Commitment Termination Date and increase the aggregate principal amount of Additional Notes purchasable by the Purchaser, subject to the terms and conditions of the Note Purchase Agreement.

1.             Defined Terms.  Terms defined (directly or indirectly by reference) in the Note Purchase Agreement and used without other definition herein shall have the respective meanings assigned to such terms in the Note Purchase Agreement. The rules of interpretation set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement shall likewise govern this Fourth Amendment.

 

2.             Amendment to Section 2.04.

 

(a)           Clause (a) of Section 2.04 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be amended to delete the text of clause (a) in its entirety and to replace such text with “August 31, 2002 (the “Commitment Termination Date”).”

 

(b)           Clause (b) of Section 2.04 of the Note Purchase Agreement shall be amended to delete and replace all references therein to “3,500,000” with “5,000,000”.

4.             Representations.

 

(a)           The Purchaser hereby represents and warrants that, as of the date hereof, the representations and warranties set forth in Article III of the Note Purchase Agreement (except that the term “Agreement” where used therein shall be read as “Fourth Amendment”) are true and correct.

5.             Effect of Fourth Amendment. Except as provided herein, the Note Purchase Agreement shall continue in full force and effect in accordance with its terms.  Reference to this specific Fourth Amendment need not be made in the Note Purchase Agreement, or any other instrument or document executed in connection therewith, or in any certificate, letter or communication issued or made pursuant to or with respect to the Note Purchase Agreement, any reference in any of such items to the Note Purchase Agreement being sufficient to refer to the Note Purchase Agreement as amended hereby.
