THIS SECOND AMENDMENT TO CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT (this “Amendment”) is made as of the          day of                     , 2007 by and among MTC TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“MTCT”), MTC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (formerly known as MODERN TECHNOLOGIES CORP.), an Ohio corporation (together with MTCT, collectively, “Borrowers” and, individually, each a “Borrower”); the financial institutions listed on Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement (collectively, the “Banks” and, individually, each a “Bank”); NATIONAL CITY BANK, as lead arranger and administrative agent for the Banks (the “Agent”); BRANCH BANKING AND TRUST COMPANY, as syndication agent (the “Syndication Agent”); KEYBANK NATIONAL ASSOCIATION, as co-documentation agent (“KeyBank”); and FIFTH THIRD BANK, as co-documentation agent (“Fifth Third Bank”; KeyBank and Fifth Third Bank, collectively, the “Co-Documentation Agents”), under the following circumstances:

A. The Borrowers, the Banks, the Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents are parties to a Credit and Security Agreement made effective as of April 21, 2005, and amended by the First Amendment to Credit and Security Agreement made effective as of October 27, 2006 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified and/or restated from time to time, the “Credit Agreement”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to those terms by the Credit Agreement.

B. The Borrowers, the Banks, the Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents now desire to amend the Credit Agreement for the reasons and upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth.

NOW, THEREFORE, the Borrowers, the Banks, the Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents agree as follows:

Section 1. Amendment to Credit Agreement.

(a) Amendment to Section 1.1. The definition of “Consolidated Fixed Charges” is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows.

“Consolidated Fixed Charges” shall mean, for any period, with respect to MTCT, on a Consolidated basis and in accordance with GAAP, without duplication, the aggregate of (a) Consolidated Interest Expense, (b) scheduled principal payments on Consolidated Funded Indebtedness due within the current period, (c) lease payments on Consolidated Rental Obligations for such period, (d) Consolidated Capital Expenditures (excluding capital expenditures that are financed other than by the Loans), and (d) all Capital Distributions by any Company.


(b) Amendment to Section 5.7(b). Section 5.7(b) of the Credit Agreement (captioned Fixed Coverage Charge) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

(c) Amendment to Section 5.19 of the Credit Agreement. Section 5.19 of the Credit Agreement (captioned Restricted Payments) is hereby amended in its entirety to read as follows:

No Company shall make or commit itself to pay any Restricted Payment at any time.

Section 2. Covenant Violation. The Banks, the Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents hereby agree that the failure of the Borrowers to be in compliance with the Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio set forth in Section 5.7(b) of the Credit Agreement for the four fiscal quarters of MTCT ending on December 31, 2006 is hereby waived and shall not constitute an Event of Default. Such waiver shall not constitute a waiver of any other Default or Event of Default now or hereafter continuing under the Credit Agreement.

(a) The Agent’s receipt of an original counterpart of this Amendment executed by all parties hereto;

(c) Receipt by the Agent of all out-of-pocket costs and expenses incurred in making the Loans and entering into this Agreement (including, without limitation, all reasonable attorney fees, audit fees and filing fees incurred by the Agent); and

(d) With respect to MTC Technologies Services, Inc., an Ohio corporation (“MTC Services”), (i) a Guaranty of Payment of all of the Debt by MTC Services, such agreement to be in form and substance acceptable to the Agent, (ii) a Pledge Agreement executed by the appropriate Borrower of all of the share certificates (or other evidence of equity) of MTC Services, and (iii) any such Security Documents, corporate governance and authorization documents, and an opinion of counsel, as may be deemed necessary or advisable by the Agent. Borrowers hereby represent and warrant to the Banks, the Agent, the Syndication Agent and the Co-Documentation Agents

(d) This Amendment may be executed in any one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
