RECITALS

 

WHEREAS, the Reorganization Agreement, as amended by Amendment No. 1 to Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, contemplated the Closing to occur on or before September 30, 2005 and required Patco to file a registration statement following the Closing with the SEC covering the shares of Patco Common Stock owned by Patridge; and

 

WHEREAS, the parties to the Reorganization Agreement wish to amend that agreement to extend the contemplated date for the Closing and to provide for certain damages payments in the event Patco fails to comply with its registration obligations with respect to the shares of Patco Common Stock owned by Patridge.

 

NOW THEREFORE, for the mutual consideration set out herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

AGREEMENT

 

1. Closing. Section 6 of the Reorganization Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“The Closing of the transactions contemplated herein shall take place on such date (the “Closing”) as mutually determined by the parties hereto when all conditions precedent have been met and all required documents have been delivered, which Closing is expected to be on or before November 15, 2005. The “Effective Date” of the Merger shall be that date on which executed copies of the attached Articles of Merger becomes effective under the laws of Nevada.”


2. Termination. Section 15(c) of the Reorganization Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“All obligations hereunder (other than those under Section 15(l)) may be terminated at the discretion of (i) any party if the closing conditions specified in Sections 8 and 9 for the benefit of that party are not met or waived by November 15, 2005, unless such termination date is extended by all of the parties to this Agreement, or (ii) the non-breaching party if any of the representations and warranties made herein by the other party have been materially breached. In addition, SMI may terminate this Agreement in the event that any of the documents or reports Patco has filed with the SEC is found to have contained a misstatement of a material fact or to have omitted to state a material fact. Patco, Patco Sub and Patridge hereby acknowledge and agree that there can be no assurance that SMI will be able to complete the Financing and that SMI shall have no liability to any of them based solely on SMI’s failure to complete the Financing.”

 

3. Common Stock Registration. Section 14(e) of the Reorganization Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“Patco will file a registration statement with the SEC (the “Shareholder Registration Statement”) within 90 days of the Closing covering (i) any of the shares of Patco Common Stock outstanding prior to the Merger that are not eligible to be sold under Rule 144(k) within 90 days of the Closing, and (ii) all of the shares of Patco Common Stock issued or issuable to the SMI securityholders in connection with the Merger, and will use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and remain effective for at least a one-year period following the Closing. The Shareholder Registration Statement will cover all of the shares of Patco Common Stock owned by Patridge. The shares of Patco Common Stock owned by Patridge also will be included in any registration statement filed by Patco to cover resales by any party of Patco Common Stock in the event such a registration statement is filed sooner than the Shareholder Registration Statement. Patco shall notify Patridge in writing upon the registration statement covering Patridge’s shares of Patco Common Stock becoming effective with the SEC within two business days of such effectiveness.

 

In the event Patco fails to file the foregoing registration statement with the SEC within 90 days of the Closing or is unable to cause the foregoing registration statement to become effective within 120 days following its filing with the SEC and Patridge is unable to sell his shares of Patco Common Stock immediately after that date under Rule 144(k), Patco shall pay Patridge as liquidated damages an amount equal to $0.02 per share for all of Patridge’s shares of Patco Common Stock for each 30-day period that Patco is delinquent in either filing the registration statement or

 

2


causing the registration statement to become effective; provided, however, that the aggregate amount of such damages shall in no event exceed $0.10 per share.”

 

4. Liabilities of Patco at Closing. Section 5(d) of the Reorganization Agreement is hereby amended to read in full as follows:

 

“Since December 31, 2004, there have not been any material adverse changes in the financial condition of Patco. At Closing, neither Patco nor Patco Sub shall have any material assets. Neither Patco nor Patco Sub now has, nor shall it have at the Closing any liabilities of any kind other than the costs or liabilities, including legal and accounting fees, transfer agent costs, regulatory filing fees and other similar expenses, incurred by both companies in connection with the Merger (which costs and liabilities collectively shall not exceed $16,000 plus any additional such costs and liabilities incurred after September 30, 2005 in connection with the Merger).”

 

5. Continuation of Reorganization Agreement. Except as specifically modified by the terms of this Agreement, all other terms and conditions of the Reorganization Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

6. Amendment. This Agreement may be amended only in writing as agreed to by all parties hereto.

9. Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto and inure to the benefit of the parties, their respective heirs, administrators, executors, successors and assigns.

 

10. Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement of the parties covering the subject matter of this Agreement. There are no oral promises, conditions, representations, understandings, interpretations or terms of any kind as conditions or inducements to the execution hereof.

 

11. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware.
