balloon payment of principal and interest as and when due, or otherwise instruct Lender to liquidate their respective Collateral to be applied to the payments due under the Note in lieu of an actual payment being made), then such failure shall constitute an event of default by the Guarantor, each Letter of Credit Sponsor and Magellan under the Collateral and Lender may, without further notice, proceed immediately to pursue all remedies thereunder notwithstanding whether any default by the Borrower then exists under the Loan Documents; (iii) the Lender may pursue all rights and remedies against the Collateral notwithstanding any terminology in the Loan Documents which may provide that the payments due from the Borrower to the Lender are: (x) subordinated to BlueCrest; and/or (y) “suspended” or other similar terminology; (iv) Guarantor, each Letter of Credit Sponsor and Magellan are ultimately responsible to make payments to the Aggregation Account and/or to the Lender directly and/or to instruct Lender to liquidate their respective Collateral to cause the payments to be timely made under the Note notwithstanding the “Borrower Payment Suspension” (as defined in the Note) or any other failure and/or restriction on the Borrower’s payment under the Note, regardless of any lack of payment by the Borrower to the Lender directly; and (v) all obligations of the Guarantor to Magellan, each Letter of Credit Sponsor and/or the Borrower and all obligations of Magellan to Guarantor , each Letter of Credit Sponsor and/or the Borrower are subordinated in terms of payment and priority to the interests of Lender until the Indebtedness is paid in full.

IF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER IS LIMITED, VOIDED OR FOUND UNENFORCEABLE, THEN THE PARTIES’ AGREEMENT TO ARBITRATE SHALL BE NULL AND VOID WITH RESPECT TO SUCH PROCEEDING, SUBJECT TO THE RIGHT TO APPEAL THE LIMITATION OR INVALIDATION OF THE CLASS ACTION WAIVER. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL A CLASS ACTION BE ARBITRATED.

(i) BY AGREEING TO BINDING ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES IRREVOCABLY AND VOLUNTARILY WAIVE ANY RIGHT THEY MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY CLAIM.

Exhibit 3(d)

Litigation / Threatened Proceeding

Law Litigation

On March 9, 2007, Peter K. Law, Ph.D. and Cell Transplants Asia, Limited, or the Plaintiffs, filed a complaint against Bioheart, Inc. (referred to herein as “us” or “we”) and Howard J. Leonhardt, individually, in the United States District Court, Western District of Tennessee. On February 7, 2000, we entered a license agreement, or the Original Law License Agreement, with Dr. Law and Cell Transplants International pursuant to which Dr. Law and Cell Transplants International granted us a license to certain patents, including the Primary MyoCell Patent, or the Law IP. The parties executed an addendum to the Original Law License Agreement, or the License Addendum, in July 2000, the provisions of which amended a number of terms of the Original License Agreement.

More specifically, the Original License Agreement provided, among other things:

	•		The parties agreed that we would issue, and we did issue, to Cell Transplants International a five-year warrant exercisable for 1.2 million shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $8.00 per share instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original Law License Agreement, issuing to Cell Transplants International or Dr. Law 600,000 shares of our common stock and options to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $1.80.

	•		The parties agreed that our obligation to pay Cell Transplants International a $3 million milestone payment would be triggered upon our commencement of a bona fide U.S. Phase II human clinical trial that utilizes technology claimed under the Law IP instead of, as originally contemplated under the Original Law License Agreement, upon initiation of a FDA approved human clinical trial study of such technology in the United States.

The Plaintiffs are not challenging the validity of our license of the Law IP, but rather are alleging and seeking, among other things, a declaratory judgment that the License Addendum fails for lack of consideration. Based upon this argument, the Plaintiffs allege that we are in breach of the terms of the Original Law License Agreement for failure to, among other things, (i) issue to Cell Transplants International or Peter Law the 600,000 shares of our common stock and options to purchase 600,000 shares of our common stock contemplated by the Original Law License Agreement and (ii) pay Cell Transplants International the $3 million milestone payment upon our commencement of a FDA approved human clinical study of MyoCell in the United States.

The Plaintiffs have alleged, among other things, certain other breaches of the Original Law License Agreement not modified by the License Addendum including a purported breach of our obligation to pay Plaintiffs royalties on gross sales of products that directly read upon the claims of the Primary MyoCell Patent and a purported breach of the contractual restriction on sublicensing the Primary MyoCell Patent to third parties. The Plaintiffs are also alleging that we and Mr. Leonhardt engaged in a civil conspiracy against the Plaintiffs and that the court should toll any periods of limitation running against the Plaintiffs to bring any causes of action arising from or which could arise from the alleged breaches.

In addition to seeking a declaratory judgment that the License Addendum is not enforceable, the Plaintiffs are also seeking an accounting of all revenues, remunerations or benefits derived by us or Mr. Leonhardt from sales, provision and/or distribution of products and services that read directly on the Law IP, compensatory and punitive monetary damages and preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to prohibit us from sublicensing our rights to third parties.

We believe this lawsuit is without merit and intend to defend the action vigorously. While the complaint does not appear to challenge our rights to license this patent and we believe this lawsuit is without merit, this litigation, if not resolved to the satisfaction of both parties, may adversely impact our relationship with Dr. Law and could, if resolved unfavorably to us, adversely affect our MyoCell commercialization efforts.

Threatened Proceeding

We received notice of a potential claim by an existing shareholder, Steve May. Mr. May claims that he filed a complaint with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 15, 2007 apparently in connection with a request that the Company transfer to his name certain shares that were previously issued in the name of another shareholder. Our counsel is currently attempting to contact Mr. May to discuss the details of the transfers Mr. May is seeking to make. As best as we can tell, the issue involves no more than 12,500 shares, but we are still seeking to understand Mr. May’s position/rights.
