5)  Debt

Credit Facility

On March 31, 2006, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement (the “B of A Credit Facility”) with Bank of America, N.A., and completed an additional amendment to our 2005 Convertible Note. The B of A Credit Facility was funded and closed on April 4, 2006.

In connection with the B of A Credit Facility, we terminated our credit facility with Fortress Credit Corp. We paid off all amounts borrowed and due under the Fortress credit facility, which aggregated approximately $19.4 million, including approximately $0.3 million in accrued interest. There were no early termination penalties incurred by us in connection with the termination of the Fortress credit facility. Due to the replacement of the Fortress credit facility, approximately $2.1 million of unamortized debt issuance costs was written off and charged to expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

7

The B of A Credit Facility provides for revolving credit loans of up to a maximum principal amount of $25.0 million (the “Revolver Loans”) and a letter of credit subline in the maximum amount of $12.0 million. As of September 30, 2006 $3.3 million is outstanding under the Revolver Loans and $7.2 million of the letter of credit subline is allocated for standby letters of credit. The Revolver Loans bear interest per annum, payable monthly, at a variable rate equal to Bank of America’s announced prime rate, plus up to 0.75%. Under certain circumstances, we may elect a LIBOR rate plus 2.0% to 3.0%, in which case, interest will be payable in one, two, three or nine month periods selected by us. The variable rates, plus an unused credit line fee of between 0.250% to 0.375% per annum, will depend on our quarterly EBITDA (“Earnings Before Interest Taxes Depreciation and Amortization”) measured on a trailing 12 month basis.

The principal amount of the Revolver Loans is due and payable in full on March 31, 2009. The Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time without penalty or premium, but if the B of A Credit Facility is terminated during the first two years, there is a termination fee equal to $500,000 in the first year and $250,000 in the second year. The B of A Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets.


In connection with the B of A Credit Facility, the 2005 Convertible Note was amended to bring its financial covenants in line with those in the B of A Credit Facility, extend each redemption date by 45 days, to August 31, 2006, August 31, 2007 and September 2, 2008, reduce one of the EBITDA measurement periods from 12 months to 6 months, and adjust the notice time periods for redemption. We also entered into a new Intercreditor Agreement with Bank of America and the holder of our 2005 Convertible Note that replaced the Intercreditor Agreement with Fortress Credit Corp. The replacement Intercreditor Agreement is on substantially the same terms as the original Intercreditor Agreement, but was modified to reflect the changes in the redemption provisions of the 2005 Convertible Note.

Our financial performance for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 resulted in the violation of certain financial covenants within the B of A Credit Facility and the 2005 Convertible Note; therefore, the $15.2 million balance of the 2005 Convertible Note is classified as a current liability as of September 30, 2006.

As discussed in Note 10, subsequent to September 30, 2006, the B of A Credit Facility was terminated in connection with new financing arrangements completed on November 1, 2006.

The 2005 Convertible Note bears interest at 7% per annum. Interest on the 2005 Convertible Note is payable quarterly in cash and the principal amount is due on December 31, 2009.

On May 4, 2006, the 2005 Convertible Note holder converted $5.7 million of the principal amount of the note into 728,900 shares of our common stock pursuant to an agreement to convert a total of $8.3 million of principal prior to the August 31, 2006 redemption date set forth in the 2005 Convertible Note. The remaining $2.6 million of principal was converted into 336,743 shares of our common stock on July 13, 2006. As consideration for the early conversion, we issued the holder 189,189 additional shares of restricted common stock which was recorded as a $1.9 million early debt conversion fee for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

Following the conversions of $5.7 million and $2.6 million of the principal amount of the 2005 Convertible Note on May 4, 2006 and July 18, 2006, respectively, the principal balance of the 2005 Convertible Note as of September 30, 2006 was $17.6 million with a discounted balance of $15.2 million.

The 2005 Convertible Note holder has the right to require us to redeem up to $9.2 million on August 31, 2007, and $8.3 million on September 2, 2008.

The 2005 Convertible Note is secured by a first priority, perfected security interest in certain cash collateral placed in a restricted, segregated collateral account. As of September 30, 2006, the amount of cash collateral required to be maintained in this account is $5.0 million and is recorded as restricted cash on our condensed consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 2006 (See Note 3). The cash collateral is not accessible for use by us until such time as it is released. The cash held in the cash collateral account will be reduced as certain financial milestones are met and can be used, in part, to fund redemptions that may be requested by the 2005 Convertible Note holder on the redemption dates described above, or upon an “event of default” as defined under the 2005 Convertible Note. The 2005 Convertible Note is also secured by a second priority security interest in our assets, subordinated only to the B of A Credit Facility.

8

As of September 30, 2006, the 2005 Convertible Note was convertible into 2,246,377 shares of common stock and the warrants issued in connection with the 2005 Convertible Note (the “2005 Convertible Note Warrants”) were exercisable for 264,964 shares of common stock at a conversion and exercise price, respectively, of $7.82 per share. The conversion and exercise price and the number of shares to be acquired are subject to adjustment pursuant to customary anti-dilution provisions contained in the 2005 Convertible Note and 2005 Convertible Note Warrants. The 2005 Convertible Note and 2005 Convertible Note Warrants may be converted or exercised at any time or from time to time.

As discussed in Note 10, subsequent to September 30, 2006, the 2005 Convertible Note was terminated in connection with new financing arrangements completed on November 1, 2006.

Embedded Derivatives

There are certain embedded derivatives associated with the 2005 Convertible Note. An embedded derivative is a derivative instrument that is embedded within another contract, which under the 2005 Convertible Note (the host contract) includes the right to convert the 2005 Convertible Note by the holder, certain default redemption right premiums and a change of control premium (payable in cash if a fundamental change occurs). In accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Statement No. 133, as amended, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, these embedded derivatives are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. In connection with the May 4, 2006 and July 18, 2006 conversions of $5.7 million and $2.6 million, respectively, of the underlying 2005 Convertible Note, the relative fair value of the embedded derivative liability was reduced by $2.4 million and $0.4 million, respectively, and was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. We conducted a valuation of the remaining embedded derivatives as of September 30, 2006 using various valuation methods, which included Black-Scholes option pricing models. Due to the decrease in our stock price from $6.77 at June 30, 2006 to $5.56 at September 30, 2006, the valuation conducted as of September 30, 2006 resulted in a non-cash gain of $1.3 million for the three month period ended September 30, 2006, with a corresponding decrease in the embedded derivative liability, which is included as a component of accrued liabilities at September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, the fair value of the embedded derivative liability is $1.4 million.


Release of $5.0 Million in Restricted Cash

In connection with the partial conversion of the 2005 Convertible Note, the holder agreed to cause the “Letter of Credit Amount” (as defined in the 2005 Convertible Note) to be reduced by $5.0 million in accordance with the terms of the note as if we had achieved the performance standards set forth therein, as amended, by the August 31, 2006 date. This resulted in the release of $5.0 million of cash collateral to us on May 5, 2006.

6)  Warrants and warrant derivative liability

Between May 1, 2006 and May 12, 2006, outstanding warrants were exercised for a total of 325,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate exercise price of $2.6 million.

Warrant activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, is summarized below:

Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”) requires quarterly analysis of criteria which must be met in order to classify warrants issued in a company’s own stock as either equity or as a derivative liability. Evaluation of these criteria as of September 30, 2006 resulted in the determination that the outstanding warrants should continue to be classified as derivative liabilities.

9

In accordance with EITF 00-19, warrants which are determined to be classified as derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. In connection with the May 2006 exercises of 325,000 warrants with proceeds of $2.6 million, the relative fair value of the derivative liability was reduced by $1.5 million, and was reclassified to additional paid-in capital. We valued the remaining warrant derivative liabilities as of September 30, 2006 using a Black-Scholes option pricing model using the following assumptions: expected dividend yield of 0.0%, expected stock price volatility ranging from 42.8% to 43.4%, risk free interest rate ranging from of 4.46% to 4.50% and a remaining contractual life ranging from 3.25 years to 3.83 years. Due primarily to the decrease in our stock price from $6.77 at June 30, 2006 to $5.56 at September 30, 2006, the valuation conducted as of September 30, 2006 resulted in a non-cash gain of $0.9 million for the three month periods ended September 30, 2006, with a corresponding decrease in the warrant derivative liability, which is included as a component of accrued liabilities at September 30, 2006. As of September 30, 2006, the total fair value of the warrant derivative liability is $1.7 million.

7)  Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) per Share
 
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period, excluding any unvested restricted stock that is subject to cancellation. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and, if dilutive, potential common shares outstanding during the period. Potential common shares consist of unvested restricted stock (using the treasury stock method), the incremental common shares issuable upon the exercise of stock options and warrants (using the treasury stock method) and the conversion of the 2005 Convertible Note (using the if-converted method). For the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, 1,873,232 and 2,827,135 options and warrants to purchase common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation, as they were anti-dilutive. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005, approximately 1,950,273 and 2,827,135 options and warrants to purchase common stock, respectively, were excluded from the calculation, as they were anti-dilutive. Excluded from diluted earnings (loss) per share as of September 30, 2006 and 2005 were 2,246,377 and 3,022,170 shares, respectively issuable upon conversion of the 2005 Convertible Note because the effect would be anti-dilutive. See Note 5 - “Debt” for additional information related to the 2005 Convertible Note.

8)  Stock-Based Compensation

Our stock-based compensation consists of various stock option plans which grant stock options to employees, non-employee officers and directors, consultants, vendors, customers and others expected to provide significant services to the Company. Refer to Note 11 of our consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005, for additional information related to these stock-based compensation plans.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS No. 123 (revised), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”) utilizing the modified prospective approach permitted thereunder. Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R) we accounted for stock option grants in accordance with APB Opinion No. 25, “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees” (the intrinsic value method). Under this method, compensation expense was recorded on the date of grant only if the current market price of the underlying stock exceeded the exercise price. The exercise price of previous stock options granted has not been less than the fair market value at the date of grant, and accordingly, prior to January 1, 2006, we have not previously recognized compensation expense related to stock option grants.

10

Under the modified prospective approach, SFAS 123(R) applies to new awards and to awards that were outstanding on January 1, 2006 that are subsequently modified, repurchased or cancelled. Under the modified prospective approach, compensation cost recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2006 includes compensation cost for all share-based payments granted prior to, but not yet fully vested as of January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123, and compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to January 1, 2006, based on the grant-date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Prior periods were not restated to reflect the impact of adopting the new standard.

As a result of adopting SFAS 123(R) on January 1, 2006, our net loss and basic and diluted loss per share for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, were $513,000 and $0.03 higher, respectively, than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB opinion No. 25 for our stock option grants. For the three months ended September 30, 2006, our net income and basic and diluted income per share were $181,000 and $0.01 lower, respectively, than if we had continued to account for stock-based compensation under APB opinion No. 25 for our stock option grants.


We receive a tax deduction for certain stock option exercises during the period the options are exercised, generally for the excess of the price at which the options are sold over the exercise prices of the options. The tax benefit for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $155,000 and was recorded as a deferred tax asset with a full valuation allowance due to our continuing loss position. Prior to adoption of SFAS 123(R), we included these tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. In accordance with SFAS 123(R), future tax benefits arising from the exercise of stock options will be reported as financing cash flows rather than operating cash flows in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows.

The following table illustrates the effect on operating results and per share information had we accounted for stock-based compensation in accordance with SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure - an Amendment of SFAS No. 123,” for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005:

There were no stock options granted during the three month period ended September 30, 2006. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the three month period ended September 30, 2005 was $3.01. The per share weighted-average fair value of stock options granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 were $4.79 and $3.11, respectively. We use the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of stock-based awards, with the following weighted-average assumptions for the indicated periods:

The assumptions above are based on multiple factors, including historical exercise patterns of employees in relatively homogeneous groups with respect to exercise and post-vesting employment termination behaviors, expected future exercising patterns for these same homogeneous groups and the implied volatility of our stock price.

At September 30, 2006, there was $4.2 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to share-based payments which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

Between April 17, 2006 and July 11, 2006, outstanding options were exercised for a total of 376,804 shares at an aggregate exercise price of $3.4 million.

The weighted average remaining contractual life for options outstanding and exercisable was 6.14 years and 5.19 years, respectively, as of September 30, 2006. Shares available for future stock option grants were 1,274,948 at September 30, 2006. At September 30, 2006, the total intrinsic value of options outstanding was zero, and the aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable was also zero.

On June 13, 2006 the stockholders approved an amendment to the 2002 Stock Option Plan to provide for the granting of (i) restricted stock and/or restricted stock units, (ii) stock appreciation rights, and (iii) stock bonuses (the “Amended Plan”). The Amended Plan also sets for the business criteria for “performance-based compensation” that is subject to Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, restricts the number of shares that may be granted to any one recipient in any one fiscal year to 100,000, and defines termination for cause (which was previously subject to definition in each stock option grant). On June 13, 2006, 464,778 shares of restricted stock were granted to certain officers and members of the management team. All restricted stock granted to employees under the 2002 Stock Option Plan vest over a five year period with one-third vesting at the end of three, four and five years, respectively. As a result of this transaction, the $3.5 million intrinsic value of the restricted stock is required to be recognized as compensation expense ratably over the four year vesting period and therefore a charge of approximately $217,000 was recorded in the three month period ended September 30, 2006.

9)  Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires the use of a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and disclosures regarding uncertainties in income tax positions. We are required to adopt FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of initially adopting FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption and will be presented separately. Only tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard; however, the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

Leveraged Leases

In July 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 13-2, “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction” (“FSP 13-2”). FSP 13-2 requires that changes in the projected timing of income tax cash flows generated by a leveraged lease transaction be recognized as a gain or loss in the year in which change occurs. The pretax gain or loss is required to be included in the same line item in which the leveraged lease income is recognized, with the tax effect being included in the provision for income taxes. We are required to adopt FSP 13-2 effective January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of initially adopting this FSP will be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption and will be presented separately. FSP 13-2 is not expected to have any impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 does not require new fair value measurements but rather defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Quantifying and Evaluating the Materiality of Unrecorded Misstatements

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on quantifying and evaluating the materiality of unrecorded misstatements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, with earlier application encouraged for any interim period of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of SAB 108 (September 13, 2006). We are currently assessing the impact of SAB 108, but we do not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations unless prior period adjustments are discovered in the future.

10) Subsequent Events

Conversion and Repurchase Agreement

Between October 31, 2006 and November 1, 2006, the holder of our 2005 Convertible Note converted $7,820,000 of the principal amount of the note into 1,000,000 shares of our common stock and we repurchased $9,746,666 of the outstanding principal amount of the 2005 Convertible Note for $8,000,000. In connection with this conversion and repurchase, the 2005 Convertible Note and the related Pledge and Security Agreement dated December 30, 2004 were terminated.

As part of the conversion and repurchase, we agreed to register the 189,189 shares of our common stock issued to the 2005 Convertible Note holder in connection with a partial conversion of the note on May 4, 2006. The registration will be pursuant to a separate Registration Rights Agreement between us and the 2005 Convertible Note holder which requires us to file a registration statement within 90 days following October 31, 2006.

Securities Transaction

On November 1, 2006, we issued and sold to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) a Secured Convertible Term Note in the original principal amount of $5 million (the “2006 Convertible Note”), a Secured Term Note in the original principal amount of $13 million (the “2006 Nonconvertible Note”), a Common Stock Purchase Warrant exercisable for 1,540,697 shares of our common stock, at an average exercise price of $7.57 per share, and a second Common Stock Purchase Warrant exercisable for 581,395 shares of our common stock, at an average exercise price of $5.69 per share (collectively the “2006 Warrants”).

The 2006 Notes

The 2006 Convertible Note and the 2006 Nonconvertible Note (the “2006 Notes”) bear interest at an adjustable rate equal to the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 2.5% and 3.75%, respectively (the “Contract Rates”). The 2006 Notes’ interest rates will be adjusted with each adjustment in the prime rate. We have deposited $1,992,746 in a restricted account with North Fork Bank from which the first year’s interest on the 2006 Notes will be paid. The deposit is equivalent to one-year’s interest on both 2006 Notes at the current Contract Rates.

Payments of principal in the aggregate amount of $375,000 under both 2006 Notes, plus accrued interest, will commence February 28, 2007 and continue on the same day of each month until the final payment of principal and accrued interest under the 2006 Notes which is due October 31, 2009.

Laurus may, at its discretion, convert all or any portion of the 2006 Convertible Note into shares of our common stock at the following “Conversion Prices”: $5.96 per share for the first $1,666,668 of principal, $6.23 per share for the next $1,666,666 of principal, and $7.69 per share for the remaining $1,666,666 of principal. On any monthly payment date of principal and interest under the 2006 Convertible Note, Laurus must convert the monthly payment then due into shares of our common stock, in lieu of a cash payment by us, up to an amount that does not exceed 25% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock for the 22 trading days immediately preceding the monthly payment date, if the average closing price of our common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the monthly payment date is 118% of the then current Conversion Price. The balance of the monthly payment then due, if any, must be paid by us in cash.

The 2006 Notes may be prepaid in whole, but not in part or separately, at any time by paying the Laurus 124% of the then aggregate outstanding principal balance and accrued interest.

The 2006 Notes are secured by substantially all of our assets.

Amounts owed under the 2006 Notes may be accelerated and are subject to default rate interest charges under various circumstances, including, but not limited to, the failure to make principal or interest payments when due under the Notes, breaches of certain covenants, representations, conditions and warranties set forth in the 2006 Notes and the purchase agreement pursuant to which they were issued, including, without limitation, the failure to maintain on a monthly basis at least $9 million in cash and eligible accounts receivable, the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy events affecting us, a change of control in the company, and certain judgments, liens and attachments in excess of permitted amounts.

The Purchase Agreement with Laurus, dated October 31, 2006, pursuant to which the 2006 Note and 2006 Warrants were issued contains certain negative covenants, including, without limitation, restrictions on our ability to, among other things, pay dividends, incur debt, or change its business.

The 2006 Warrants

The 2006 Warrants are exercisable at any time up to October 31, 2012. The exercise price of the 2006 Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the 2006 Warrants will be adjusted in the event we issue a stock dividend, subdivide our shares or combine our shares.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the sale and issuance of the 2006 Notes and 2006 Warrants, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Laurus, dated October 31, 2006, pursuant to which we agreed to prepare and file, within 90 days following the issuance of the 2006 Notes and 2006 Warrants, a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2006 Convertible Note and exercise of the 2006 Warrants. If the registration statement is not filed within 90 days or declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within 180 days, we must pay the holder of the 2006 Notes a penalty of 1.0% of the principal amount of the notes for each 30 day period that the filing or effectiveness of the registration is delayed up to a maximum penalty of 10%. We can elect to pay up to 50% of the penalty amount in shares of our common stock.

Sale Leaseback Transaction

On November 1, 2006, we sold our manufacturing plant in Florida to NL Ventures V, L.P. for $4.5 million. Concurrently with the sale of the property, we entered into a Lease Agreement with the purchaser’s assignee, NL Ventures V Plant City, L.P., pursuant to which we leased back the property for an initial term of 20 years. We have the option to extend the lease term for two additional terms of five years each. The annual rent is $491,160 for the first year of the lease and increases at the rate of 3% per annum thereafter. We have posted a security deposit of $528,900 in connection with the lease.

Credit Facility Termination

In connection with the issuance of the 2006 Notes and 2006 Warrants, we terminated the B of A Credit Facility on November 1, 2006. We paid off all amounts borrowed and due under the B of A Credit Facility, which aggregated approximately $1.8 million, including approximately $500,000 in early termination fees. Our Intercreditor Agreement with Amphora Limited and Bank of America, N.A. dated March 31, 2006, was also terminated.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Cautionary Statement

You should read the following discussion and analysis with our Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes thereto contained elsewhere in this report. We urge you to carefully review and consider the various disclosures made in this report and in our other reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission.


Forward Looking Statements

This quarterly report contains statements which, to the extent that they are not recitations of historical fact, constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Securities Act of 1933 and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words “believe,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “project,” “intend,” “expect,” “plan,” “outlook,” “forecast,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “continue,” “predict” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such forward-looking statements are intended to be subject to the safe harbor protection within the meaning of that term in Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Future events and actual results could differ materially from those set forth in, contemplated by, or underlying the forward-looking statements. Statements in this report, including the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements and in the “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operation,” describe factors, among others, that could contribute to or cause such differences. In addition, the accuracy of such forward looking statements may be impacted by a number of business risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected or anticipated, including but not limited to: a continuing labor shortage in California; our current default under the terms of our B of A Credit Facility which could impact our liquidity in the future; the ability to adequately pass through to customers unanticipated future increases in raw material costs; an unanticipated change in the types of classrooms required by school districts; declines in available funding for modular classroom construction and other risks and uncertainties that are described elsewhere in this report and in our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including our reports on Form 10-K. Although we believe the expectations reflected in our forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, there is no assurance that our expectations will be attained. The forward-looking statements are current only as of the date of this report. We do not undertake any obligation to update or revise publicly any forward-looking statements, even though our situation may change in the future. We qualify all of our forward-looking statements by these cautionary statements.

USE OF ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. As such, we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities at the balance sheet dates and the reported amounts of revenue and expense during the reporting periods. The estimates and assumptions are based on historical experience and on various other factors that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could significantly differ from such estimates. We believe that the following discussion addresses our most significant accounting policies, which aid in fully understanding and evaluating our reported financial results.

Allowances for Contract Adjustments

We maintain allowances for contract adjustments that result from the inability of our customers to make their required payments. Management bases its allowances on analysis of the aging of accounts receivable, by account, at the date of the financial statements, assessments of historical collection trends, and an evaluation of the impact of current economic conditions. If the financial condition of our customers were to deteriorate, resulting in an impairment of their ability to make payments, additional allowances may be required.

Accrual for Worker’s Compensation Reserve

Historically we have self-insured for workers compensation under a high deductible program. Management bases its accrual estimate on input from the insurance carrier which includes information regarding open and closed cases, historical costs associated with those claims, certain developed costs and an estimate of Incurred But Not Reported (“IBNR”) claims. Actual claims often vary to some extent from our estimates. This variability may result in actual costs being either above or below the estimates recorded on our consolidated financial statements. Beginning in July 2006, we became fully insured with no deductible for any new workers compensation claims arising after the date of the new policy.

Revenue Recognition on Construction Contracts

Contracts are recognized using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting and, therefore, take into account the costs, estimated earnings and revenue to date on contracts not yet completed. Revenue recognized is that percentage of the total contract price that cost expended to date bears to anticipated final total cost, based on current estimates of costs to complete. The percentage-of-completion methodology generally results in the recognition of reasonably consistent profit margins over the life of a contract. Cumulative revenues recognized may be less or greater than cumulative costs and profits billed at any point in time during a contract’s term. The resulting difference is recognized as unbilled or deferred revenue.

Any estimation process, including that used in preparing contract accounting models, involves inherent risk. We reduce the inherent risk relating to revenue and cost estimates in percentage-of-completion models through corporate policy, approval and monitoring processes. Risks relating to project delivery, productivity and other factors are considered in the estimation process. Our estimates of revenues and costs on construction contracts change periodically in the normal course of business due to factors such as productivity and modifications of contractual arrangements. Such changes are reflected in the results of operations as a change in accounting estimate in the period the revisions are determined. Provisions for estimated losses are made in the period in which the loss first becomes apparent.


Valuation of the Embedded and Warrant Derivatives  

The valuation of our embedded derivatives associated with our $25.9 million convertible subordinated promissory note, and our warrant derivatives, associated principally with the 1,023,000 warrant shares issued in connection with our $11.6 million private equity placement on August 5, 2005, are determined primarily by the Black-Scholes option pricing model. An embedded derivative is a derivative instrument that is embedded within another contract, which under the convertible note (the host contract) includes the right to convert the note by the holder, certain default redemption right premiums and a change of control premium (payable in cash if a fundamental change occurs). In accordance with FASB Statement No. 133, as amended, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities , these embedded derivatives are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. A warrant derivative liability is determined in accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) Issue No. 00-19, “Accounting for Derivative Financial Instruments Indexed to, and Potentially Settled in, a Company’s Own Stock” (“EITF 00-19”). Based on EITF 00-19, warrants which are determined to be classified as derivative liabilities are marked-to-market each reporting period, with a corresponding non-cash gain or loss charged to the current period. The practical effect of this has been that when our stock price increases so does our derivative liability, resulting in a non-cash loss charge that reduces our earnings and earnings per share. When our stock price declines, we record a non-cash gain, increasing our earnings and earnings per share.

To determine the fair value of our embedded derivatives, management evaluates assumptions regarding the probability of certain future events. Other factors used to determine fair value include our period end stock price, historical stock volatility, risk free interest rate and derivative term. The fair value recorded for the derivative liability varies from period to period. This variability may result in the actual derivative liability for a period either above or below the estimates recorded on our consolidated financial statements, resulting in significant fluctuations in other income (expense) because of the corresponding non-cash gain or loss recorded.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
 
Uncertainty in Income Taxes

In July 2006, the FASB issued Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 requires the use of a two-step approach for recognizing and measuring tax benefits taken or expected to be taken in a tax return and disclosures regarding uncertainties in income tax positions. We are required to adopt FIN 48 effective January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of initially adopting FIN 48 will be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption and will be presented separately. Only tax positions that meet the more likely than not recognition threshold at the effective date may be recognized upon adoption of FIN 48. We are currently evaluating the impact this new standard; however, the standard is not expected to have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.
 
17

 
Leveraged Leases

In July 2006, the FASB issued Staff Position No. FAS 13-2, “Accounting for a Change or Projected Change in the Timing of Cash Flows Relating to Income Taxes Generated by a Leveraged Lease Transaction” (“FSP 13-2”). FSP 13-2 requires that changes in the projected timing of income tax cash flows generated by a leveraged lease transaction be recognized as a gain or loss in the year in which change occurs. The pretax gain or loss is required to be included in the same line item in which the leveraged lease income is recognized, with the tax effect being included in the provision for income taxes. We are required to adopt FSP 13-2 effective January 1, 2007. The cumulative effect of initially adopting this FSP will be recorded as an adjustment to opening retained earnings in the year of adoption and will be presented separately. FSP 13-2 is not expected to have any impact on our financial position, results of operation or cash flows.

Fair Value Measurements

In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”). SFAS 157 does not require new fair value measurements but rather defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands disclosure of fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. We are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Quantifying and Evaluating the Materiality of Unrecorded Misstatements

In September 2006, the SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 (“SAB 108”). SAB 108 provides guidance on quantifying and evaluating the materiality of unrecorded misstatements. SAB 108 is effective for fiscal years ending after November 15, 2006, with earlier application encouraged for any interim period of the first fiscal year ending after November 15, 2006, filed after the publication of SAB 108 (September 13, 2006). We are currently assessing the impact of SAB 108, but we doe not expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations unless prior period adjustments are discovered in the future.

Company Overview

Modtech manufactures and sells modular relocatable classrooms and commercial and light industrial modular buildings. We are a leading provider of modular classrooms in the State of California and a significant provider of commercial and light industrial modular buildings in California, Nevada, Arizona, New Mexico, Utah, Colorado, Texas, Florida and other neighboring states.

In California and Florida, we market and sell our modular classrooms to school districts. Virtually all of our classroom sales are dependent upon public funding. Such funding is sourced in multiple ways which are strongly influenced by educational policies that are subject to political concerns.

The modular re-locatable classroom industry is highly competitive with the market divided among a number of privately-owned companies whose share of the market is smaller than ours. The nonresidential modular building industry is highly competitive and fragmented. It is composed primarily of regionally based private companies, each with a single manufacturing facility.

Results of Current Operations - Overview

Revenues were $45.6 million and $126.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively, down 30.5% and 27.3%, respectively, from the corresponding periods of the prior year. The decline was due in part to a return to normal production levels in Florida in 2006 following unusually strong sales in the state for the first half of 2005. The unusually strong Florida sales in the first half of the prior year were due to classroom rebuilding projects following hurricane activity in late 2004. The decline in revenue in 2006 was also caused by slower-than-expected education sales in Florida, project delays in California and very sluggish sales in Texas for the three months ended September 30, 2006.

As a result of smaller projects and a resulting quicker project turnover in 2006, our backlog of sales orders has declined from $127.5 million at October 31, 2005 to $72.6 million at October 31, 2006. We do not expect our backlog to return to the historically high level we experienced during late 2004 and the first half of 2005.

Revenue

Revenues were $45.6 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006, down 30.5% from the record revenues of $65.6 million in the prior year period. Arizona and Texas sales for the quarter totaled $8.7 million for a combined shortfall of $4.6 million when compared to the same quarter last year. Florida revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $11.0 million, down $5.4 million or 33.0% from the corresponding quarter of the prior year. The decrease in Florida was due to lower classroom sales. California revenue of $25.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2006 was $10.0 million or 27.9% less than the corresponding quarter the prior year. The decrease in California was primarily due to project delays in the education market.

For the nine month ended September 30, 2006, revenues were $126.8 million, down 27.3% from the record revenues of $174.4 million in the corresponding prior year period. Arizona and Texas sales for the nine months had a combined shortfall of $9.7 million when compared to the corresponding period of last year. Florida revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was $28.2 million, down $14.2 million or 33.5% from the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in Florida was due to a return to prior levels of sales in the region as the first half of 2005 revenues were bolstered by a major classroom projects stemming from the hurricanes in the fall of 2004. California revenue of $74.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 was down $23.7 million, or 24.1%, from the corresponding period of the prior year. The decrease in California was primarily due to project delays in the education market, lower production volumes in part due to factory inefficiencies and periodic labor shortages in California. In addition, in the prior year periods more of our California revenue was attributable to fieldwork on large school projects. In the current year period we were more reliant on revenue generated from the shipment of factory-built units for both schools and commercial customers.

It is believed that the demise of the piggyback contracting system in California has had an adverse affect on the sales volume in recent quarters. Prior to January 27, 2006 many school districts in California utilized “piggy-back” contracts which allowed them to order buildings off of contracts bid and entered into by builders, including Modtech, with other school districts. Since January 27, 2006, these piggyback contracts are no longer allowed. As a result, more public bids will have to occur for the same volume of work. Because the public bidding process is a lengthy one, it is our belief that this change has delayed some anticipated work into the fourth quarter 2006 and the first quarter of 2007. In the long-term, we expect the demand for our products and services will not be significantly impacted by the change in the piggyback contracting system.
 
Our gross profit margin has declined year over year for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006. As a percent of sales, gross profit declined from 7.3% of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2005 to 6.4% of sales for the quarter ended September 30, 2006. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2006, our gross profit margin declined to 6.4% from 7.6% in the corresponding prior year period. Our gross profit margin declined as revenues declined more than expected and we were not able to reduce fixed and certain variable costs as quickly as revenues declined. In addition, the prior year margins benefited from volume efficiencies related to record results in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2005.

19

As of October 31, 2006, the backlog of sales orders was approximately $72.6 million, down from approximately $127.5 million at October 31, 2005. Backlog that is expected to be converted to sales during the remainder of the current fiscal year is approximately $20.0 million. The backlog by region as of October 31, 2006 was as follows: California—$69.0 million; Arizona—$1.5 million; Texas—$0.3 million; and Florida—$1.8 million. This compares to the backlog by region as of October 31, 2005 was as follows: California—$108.9 million; Arizona—$5.0 million; Texas—$5.1 million; and Florida—$8.5 million.

The change in the piggyback contracting system, quicker project turnover and generally smaller projects are the primary reasons for the decline in backlog. We do not expect our backlog to return to the very high levels we experienced in late 2004 and early 2005. The rate of booking new contracts varies month to month, and customer changes in delivery schedules occur. For these reasons, among others, our backlog as of any particular date may not be representative of actual sales for any succeeding period.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses were approximately flat for the quarter and down $0.6 million or 5.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2006 compared to the corresponding periods of the prior year. The decrease in SG&A was primarily attributable to reduced legal, accounting and professional services as well as reduced sales commissions that resulted from lower sales. SG&A expenses for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2006 include $397,000 and $773,000, respectively, in stock compensation expense as a result of the implementation of SFAS 123(R). This expense was reported in the past on a pro forma basis pursuant to the predecessor to SFAS 123(R), SFAS 123. As a result of the lower sales during 2006, selling, general, and administrative expenses increased as a percentage of net sales from 5.7% to 8.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively, and from 6.4% to 8.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2005 and 2006, respectively. In the third quarter management has taken actions to reduce SG&A costs, primarily by a reduction of staffing in order to achieve profitability at current revenue levels.

Other income (expense)

Interest expense decreased for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, by $1.3 million and $3.5 million, respectively when compared to the corresponding periods in 2005. The decrease is attributable to lower debt when compared to the prior year.

We recognized a non-cash gain of $2.2 million and $6.7 million related to the embedded derivatives associated with the 2005 Convertible Note and outstanding warrants in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006, respectively.

Accretion of the convertible debt discount for the three months ended September 30, 2006 was $0.6 million, which included a $0.4 million incremental non-cash charge related to the discount on the $2.6 million conversion of a portion of the 2005 Convertible Note in July 2006.

In the quarter ended June 30, 2006, we recognized a non-cash early debt conversion fee of $1.9 million for the fair value of 189,189 restricted shares issued to the note holder as consideration for the early conversion of a portion of the 2005 Convertible Notes.

Due to the replacement of the credit facility with Fortress Credit Corp., approximately $2.1 million of unamortized debt issue costs were written off and charged to interest expense for the quarter ended March 31, 2006.

Based upon our cumulative loss position for the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we continue to provide a valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets including deferred tax assets related to our net operating loss carryforward, which completely offsets the initial tax benefit calculation. The non-cash gains and losses from embedded derivatives are excluded from taxable income or loss.

Net Income (Loss)

The net income of $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and the net loss of $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 compare to a net loss of $10.7 million and a net loss of $12.1 million for the same periods, respectively, from the prior year. The changes in the periods compared are a direct result of the factors discussed above.
 
20


Inflation

We are subject to the effects of changing prices. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, there was no significant inflationary impact. While the cost outlook for commodities used in our products, in particular steel, dimensional lumber and plywood products is not certain, management believes it can manage these inflationary pressures with sales price adjustments as allowed by our contracts and by actively monitoring material costs and supply chain and inventory management.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have funded our operations and capital expenditures mostly with cash generated internally by operations and borrowings under various credit facilities as well as cash received from exercised options and warrants. At September 30, 2006 we had $4.0 million in unrestricted cash and an additional $5.0 million in restricted cash. The restricted cash is held as collateral for our 2005 Amended and Restated Senior Subordinated Secured Convertible Note (the “2005 Convertible Note”). During the nine months ended September 30, 2006 our operations used $0.5 million cash. During the second and third quarters of 2006 we received an aggregate of $17.4 million from the exercise of outstanding options and warrants and the release of restricted cash.

On April 4, 2006, we paid off all amounts borrowed and due under our credit facility with Fortress Credit Corp., which aggregated approximately $19.4 million, including approximately $0.3 million in accrued interest, and replaced the facility with a facility with Bank of America, N.A. (the “B of A Credit Facility”). There were no early termination penalties incurred by us in connection with the termination of the Fortress credit facility.

The B of A Credit Facility provides for revolving credit loans of up to a maximum principal amount of $25,000,000 (the “Revolver Loans”) and a letter of credit subline in the maximum amount of $12,000,000. The Revolver Loans bear interest per annum, payable monthly, at a variable rate equal to Bank of America’s announced prime rate, plus up to 0.75%. The principal amount of the Revolver Loans is due and payable in full on March 31, 2009. The Revolver Loans may be prepaid from time to time without penalty or premium, but if the B of A Credit Facility is terminated during the first two years, there is a termination fee equal to $500,000 in the first year and $250,000 in the second year. The B of A Credit Facility is secured by substantially all of our assets.

Our financial performance for the nine month period ended September 30, 2006 resulted in the violation of certain financial covenants within the B of A Credit Facility and the 2005 Convertible Note; therefore, the $15.2 million balance of the 2005 Convertible Note is classified as a current liability as of September 30, 2006.

On May 4, 2006, the 2005 Convertible Note holder converted $5.7 million of the principal amount of the 2005 Convertible Note into 728,900 shares of our common stock pursuant to an agreement to convert a total of $8.3 million of principal prior to the August 31, 2006 redemption date set forth in the 2005 Convertible Note. The remaining $2.6 million of principal was converted into 336,743 shares of our common stock on July 13, 2006. As consideration for the early conversion, we issued the holder 189,189 additional shares of restricted common stock which was recorded as a $1.9 million early debt conversion fee for the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

In connection with the partial conversion of the 2005 Convertible Note, the holder agreed to cause the “Letter of Credit Amount” (as defined in the 2005 Convertible Note) to be reduced by $5.0 million in accordance with the terms of the 2005 Convertible Note as if we had achieved the performance standards set forth in the 2005 Convertible Note, as amended, by the August 31, 2006 date. This resulted in the release of $5.0 million of cash collateral to us on May 5, 2006. In connection with the change to the B of A Credit Facility restricted cash was reduced by $6.5 million, which was held as cash collateral for the letter of credit subfacility under our prior revolving credit loan.

Between May 1, 2006 and May 12, 2006, outstanding warrants were exercised for a total of 325,000 shares of common stock at an aggregate exercise price of $2.6 million.

Between April 17, 2006 and July 11, 2006, outstanding options were exercised for a total of 376,804 shares at an aggregate exercise price of $3.4 million.

Between October 31, 2006 and November 1, 2006, the holder of our 2005 Convertible Note converted $7,820,000 of the principal amount of the note into 1,000,000 shares of our common stock and we repurchased $9,746,666 of the outstanding principal amount of the 2005 Convertible Note for $8,000,000. In connection with this conversion and repurchase, the 2005 Convertible Note and the related Pledge and Security Agreement dated December 30, 2004 were terminated.

As part of the conversion and repurchase, we agreed to register the 189,189 shares of our common stock issued to the 2005 Convertible Note holder in connection with a partial conversion of the note on May 4, 2006. The registration will be pursuant to a separate Registration Rights Agreement between us and the 2005 Convertible Note holder which requires us to file a registration statement within 90 days following October 31, 2006.

Securities Transaction

On November 1, 2006, we issued and sold to Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) a Secured Convertible Term Note in the original principal amount of $5 million (the “2006 Convertible Note”), a Secured Term Note in the original principal amount of $13 million (the “2006 Nonconvertible Note”), a Common Stock Purchase Warrant exercisable for 1,540,697 shares of our common stock, at an average exercise price of $7.57 per share, and a second Common Stock Purchase Warrant exercisable for 581,395 shares of our common stock, at an average exercise price of $5.69 per share (collectively the “2006 Warrants”).

The 2006 Notes

The 2006 Convertible Note and the 2006 Nonconvertible Note (the “2006 Notes”) bear interest at an adjustable rate equal to the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 2.5% and 3.75%, respectively (the “Contract Rates”). The 2006 Notes’ interest rates will be adjusted with each adjustment in the prime rate. We have deposited $1,992,746 in a restricted account with North Fork Bank from which the first year’s interest on the 2006 Notes will be paid. The deposit is equivalent to one-year’s interest on both 2006 Notes at the current Contract Rates.

Payments of principal in the aggregate amount of $375,000 under both 2006 Notes, plus accrued interest, will commence February 28, 2007 and continue on the same day of each month until the final payment of principal and accrued interest under the 2006 Notes which is due October 31, 2009.

Laurus may, at its discretion, convert all or any portion of the 2006 Convertible Note into shares of our common stock at the following “Conversion Prices”: $5.96 per share for the first $1,666,668 of principal, $6.23 per share for the next $1,666,666 of principal, and $7.69 per share for the remaining $1,666,666 of principal. On any monthly payment date of principal and interest under the 2006 Convertible Note, Laurus must convert the monthly payment then due into shares of our common stock, in lieu of a cash payment by us, up to an amount that does not exceed 25% of the aggregate dollar trading volume of our common stock for the 22 trading days immediately preceding the monthly payment date, if the average closing price of our common stock for the five trading days immediately preceding the monthly payment date is 118% of the then current Conversion Price. The balance of the monthly payment then due, if any, must be paid by us in cash.

The 2006 Notes may be prepaid in whole, but not in part or separately, at any time by paying the Laurus 124% of the then aggregate outstanding principal balance and accrued interest.

The 2006 Notes are secured by substantially all of our assets.

Amounts owed under the 2006 Notes may be accelerated and are subject to default rate interest charges under various circumstances, including, but not limited to, the failure to make principal or interest payments when due under the Notes, breaches of certain covenants, representations, conditions and warranties set forth in the 2006 Notes and the purchase agreement pursuant to which they were issued, including, without limitation, the failure to maintain on a monthly basis at least $9 million in cash and eligible accounts receivable, the occurrence of certain insolvency or bankruptcy events affecting us, a change of control in the company, and certain judgments, liens and attachments in excess of permitted amounts.

22

 
The Purchase Agreement with Laurus, dated October 31, 2006, pursuant to which the 2006 Note and 2006 Warrants were issued contains certain negative covenants, including, without limitation, restrictions on our ability to, among other things, pay dividends, incur debt, or change its business.

The 2006 Warrants

The 2006 Warrants are exercisable at any time up to October 31, 2012. The exercise price of the 2006 Warrants and the number of shares issuable upon exercise of the 2006 Warrants will be adjusted in the event we issue a stock dividend, subdivide our shares or combine our shares.

Registration Rights Agreement

In connection with the sale and issuance of the 2006 Notes and 2006 Warrants, we entered into a Registration Rights Agreement with Laurus, dated October 31, 2006, pursuant to which we agreed to prepare and file, within 90 days following the issuance of the 2006 Notes and 2006 Warrants, a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission covering the resale of the common stock issuable upon conversion of the 2006 Convertible Note and exercise of the 2006 Warrants. If the registration statement is not filed within 90 days or declared effective by the Securities and Exchange Commission within 180 days, we must pay the holder of the 2006 Notes a penalty of 1.0% of the principal amount of the notes for each 30 day period that the filing or effectiveness of the registration is delayed up to a maximum penalty of 10%. We can elect to pay up to 50% of the penalty amount in shares of our common stock.

Sale Leaseback Transaction

On November 1, 2006, we sold our manufacturing plant in Florida to NL Ventures V, L.P. for $4.5 million. Concurrently with the sale of the property, we entered into a Lease Agreement with the purchaser’s assignee, NL Ventures V Plant City, L.P., pursuant to which we leased back the property for an initial term of 20 years. We have the option to extend the lease term for two additional terms of five years each. The annual rent is $491,160 for the first year of the lease and increases at the rate of 3% per annum thereafter. We have posted a security deposit of $528,900 in connection with the lease.

Credit Facility Termination

In connection with the issuance of the 2006 Notes and 2006 Warrants, we terminated the B of A Credit Facility on November 1, 2006. We paid off all amounts borrowed and due under the B of A Credit Facility, which aggregated approximately $1.8 million, including approximately $500,000 in early termination fees. Our Intercreditor Agreement with Amphora Limited and Bank of America, N.A. dated March 31, 2006, was also terminated.

In the third quarter management has took actions to reduce overhead and SG&A costs, primarily by a reduction of staffing in order to achieve profitability at current revenue levels. Management believes that existing capital, anticipated cash flow from operations, and current credit facilities will be sufficient to meet operating needs and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market risk refers to the risk that a change in the level of one or more market factors such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, or equity prices will result in losses for a certain financial instrument of group of instruments. We do not hold any instruments that are subject to such risks, but we are exposed to the risk of increased interest rates on our credit facility the risk of loss on credit extended to our customers, and risk of fluctuations in the fair value of our derivative liabilities on certain instruments.

INTEREST RATE RISK

We are exposed to the risk of fluctuation in interest rates. During the nine months ended September 30, 2006, we did not use interest rate swaps or other types of interest-related derivative financial instruments. The carrying value of the B of A Credit Facility approximates fair value as the interest rate is variable and resets frequently. Indebtedness under the B of A Credit Facility bears interest at a variable rate of up to 0.75% per annum plus Bank of America’s announced prime rate. Interest is payable monthly. The 2006 Convertible Note and the 2006 Nonconvertible Note with Laurus bear interest at adjustable rates equal to the prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus 2.5% and 3.75%, respectively. The debt outstanding under these notes for the balance of 2006 will be $18.0 million. Therefore, a one-percentage point increase in interest rates would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $180,000 per annum.

23


CREDIT RISK

Our credit terms generally are “net 30” for dealer accounts and defined by contracts which vary for direct sales. We actively monitor this risk through a variety of control procedures involving senior management. Historically, credit losses have been less than 0.5% of sales and within our expectations.

DERIVATIVE LIABILITY RISK

We are exposed to the risk of fair value derivative liability fluctuations in the equity instruments we have issued, which include the 2005 Convertible Note and outstanding warrants. The fair value of these derivative liabilities is primarily determined by fluctuations in our stock price. As our stock price increases or decreases, the fair value of these derivative liabilities increase or decrease, resulting in a corresponding current period loss or gain to be recognized. Based on the balance on our 2005 Convertible Note, number of outstanding warrants, market interest rates and historical volatility of our stock price as of September 30, 2006, a $1 increase or decrease in our stock price results in a non-cash derivative loss or gain of approximately $1.1 million. During the quarter ended September 30, 2006, we experienced a $2.2 million non-cash gain on warrant and embedded derivatives.

Item 4. Controls And Procedures
 
  a.
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
 
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Our management, with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such terms are defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2006 and concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of September 30, 2006, because certain material weaknesses in our internal controls over financial reporting described in Management’s Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting in Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2005 (the “2005 10-K Report”), had not been remediated as of September 30, 2006.

The material weaknesses reported in our 2005 10-K Report that had not been remediated as of September 30, 2006 were as follows:
 
1.
During the quarter ending December 31, 2005, there were multiple changes in personnel and an overall understaffing of the finance function. Insufficient staff, at times, did not allow for timely completion of certain tasks, including analysis and review required for full compliance with internal controls. As a result, we identified the following issues as of December 31, 2005:
 
·  
A control failure occurred involving processing of accrual of open invoices and valuation of work-in-process inventory, resulting in misstatements to accrued liabilities, cost of sales and revenue.
 
·  
Our controls associated with accounting for our long-term contracts were not operating effectively. As a consequence, an error was identified relating to the accounting for a contract amount and one concerning the classification of a contract, resulting in misstatements to revenue and cost of sales.
 
2.
The specific control deficiencies in information technology noted as of December 31, 2005, were as follows:
 
·  
We did not have a sufficiently comprehensive review of segregation of duties regarding access rights when employees changed positions.
 
·  
System limitations allow unrestricted access rights to certain applications.
 
·  
Removal of access rights for terminated employees was not always done on a timely basis. Although no security breaches occurred, the potential for such breaches exists.
 
·  
Inadequate monitoring of server backups allowed one location to not be properly backed up over one weekend.
 
24

  b.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
In order to remediate the material weaknesses described in the 2005 10-K Report, we hired a Director of Internal Control and SOX during the first quarter of 2006. This position, however, is currently vacant and we are actively seeking a replacement. We made the following changes during the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2006 in our internal control over financial reporting:
 
·  
We further integrated a new general ledger accounting package, Great Plains, in the current quarter to improve our internal control efforts.
 
·  
Through our continued use of an outside Information Technology consultant we completed assessment and began remediation at our control deficiencies in information technology 

In light of the material weaknesses that remain as of September 30, 2006, we performed additional analysis and other post-closing procedures to ensure the Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Accordingly, management believes that the financial statements included in this report fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.

Other than the remediation measures described above, there have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2006, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
 
  c.
Remediation Plan for Material Weaknesses in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
 
Our plan to remediate those material weaknesses remaining as of September 30, 2006 is as follows:
 
·  
We continue to search for additional staff for our Internal Control department and operational finance teams. The searches are underway and the positions will be filled as soon as qualified candidates are identified.
 
·  
We are currently evaluating all finance personnel to ensure that appropriate skills and training are maintained in all critical positions.
 
·  
We are currently in the process of remediating the deficiencies noted in Information Technology controls with the aid of an outside Information Technology consultant in connection with the implementation of our new general ledger accounting package, Great Plains.

CERTIFICATE OF DESIGNATION
PREFERENCES, RELATIVE, PARTICIPATING, OPTIONAL, AND OTHER SPECIAL RIGHTS, QUALIFICATIONS, LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS
OF
SERIES A PREFERRED STOCK
OF
MODTECH HOLDINGS, INC.

The undersigned, Evan M. Gruber and Michael Rhodes, certify that:

ONE. They are the duly elected Chief Executive Officer and Secretary, respectively, of the above-named corporation.

TWO. Pursuant to and in accordance with the provisions of Section 151 of the Delaware General Corporation Law and the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation, the Board of Directors of this corporation has duly adopted the following recitals and resolutions.

WHEREAS, the Certificate of Incorporation of this corporation provides for a class of its authorized shares known as Preferred Stock comprised of 5,000,000 shares issuable from time to time in one or more series; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of this corporation is authorized to fix the number of shares of any series of Preferred Stock and to determine the designation of any such series and the rights, preferences, privileges and restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued series of Preferred Stock; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of this corporation desires to establish a class of Preferred Stock to be designated as the "Series A Preferred Stock", and to fix the number of shares thereof and the rights, preferences, privileges, restrictions and other matters relating thereto;

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that a series consisting of 500,000 shares of Preferred Stock is hereby established and designated as the "Series A Preferred Stock" of this corporation (the "Series A Preferred Stock"), and that the Series A Preferred Stock shall have the rights, preferences and privileges, and shall be subject to the restrictions, as are hereinafter set forth:



1. Dividend Provisions. The holders of outstanding Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive when, as and if declared by the Board of Directors, out of any assets at the time legally available therefor, dividends in cash at the rate of $0.40 per share of Series A Preferred Stock per annum. Such dividends shall accrue on each share of Series A Preferred Stock from the date of its original issuance and shall accrue from day to day, whether or not earned or declared. Such dividends shall be cumulative so that if such dividends in respect of any previous year at said rate per share per annum shall not have been paid or declared and set apart for all shares of Series A Preferred Stock at the time outstanding, the deficiency shall be fully paid on or declared and set apart for such shares before the corporation pays any dividend (except a dividend in shares of the corporation) on Common Stock. Undeclared or unpaid dividends shall not bear or accrue interest. Unless full dividends on the Series A Preferred Stock for all past dividend periods and the then current dividend period shall have been paid or declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof set apart, no shares of Common Stock shall be purchased, redeemed, or acquired by the corporation and no funds shall be paid into or set aside or made available for a sinking fund for the purchase, redemption, or acquisition thereof; provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to the repurchase of shares of Common Stock held by employees, officers, directors, consultants or other persons performing services for the corporation or any wholly-owned subsidiary (including, but not by way of limitation, distributors and sales representatives) that are approved by the corporation's Board of Directors.

2. Liquidation Preference.

(a) Preference. In the event of any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of this corporation, either voluntary or involuntary, subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, the holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to receive, prior and in preference to any distribution of any of the assets of this corporation to the holders of Common Stock by reason of their ownership thereof, an amount per share equal to the sum of (i) Five Dollars ($5.00) for each outstanding share of Series A Preferred Stock and (ii) an amount equal to accrued but unpaid dividends on such share. If upon the occurrence of such event, the assets and funds thus distributed among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall be insufficient to permit the payment to such holders of the full aforesaid preferential amounts, then, subject to the rights of series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, the entire assets and funds of the corporation legally available for distribution shall be distributed ratably among the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock in proportion to the amount of such stock owned by each such holder. If the consideration received to be received in any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the corporation is other than cash, its value will be deemed its fair market value as reasonably determined by the this corporation's board of directors.

(b)  Remaining Assets. Upon the completion of the distribution required by subparagraph (a) of this Section 2 and any other distribution that may be required with respect to series of Preferred Stock that may from time to time come into existence, the remaining assets of the corporation available for distribution to stockholders shall be distributed among the holders of Series A Preferred Stock and Common Stock pro rata based on the number of shares of Common Stock held by each (assuming conversion of all such Series A Preferred Stock).
 
3. No Redemption.  

The Series A Preferred Stock shall not be subject to redemption at the option, election or request of the corporation or any holder or holders of Series A Preferred Stock.

4. Conversion. The holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall have conversion rights as follows (the "Conversion Rights"):





(a) Right to Convert. Except as provided in Section 4(b) below, no share of Series A Preferred Stock may be converted into Common Stock until two years after the date of its original issuance. Thereafter, each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall be convertible, at the option of the holder thereof, at any at the office of this corporation or any transfer agent for such stock, into one share of fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (the AConversion Ratio@). The Conversion Ratio for the Series A Preferred Stock shall be subject to adjustment as set forth in subsection 4(d).

(b) Automatic Conversion. Each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall automatically be converted into shares of Common Stock at the Conversion Ratio at the time in effect for such Series A Preferred Stock upon the earlier of (i) the fourth anniversary date of its original issuance, or (ii) immediately upon a "Change in Control", regardless of when such Change of Control occurs. For purposes of this Section 4, a Change in Control means (i) the acquisition of the corporation by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation but, excluding any merger effected exclusively for the purpose of changing the domicile of the corporation); (ii) a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the corporation; (iii) the sale of capital stock constituting 50% or more of the Company's outstanding capital stock at the time of sale or, (iv) any transaction or series of related transactions in which more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting power of the corporation is disposed of.

(c) Mechanics of Conversion. Before any holder of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to convert the same into shares of Common Stock, he shall surrender the certificate or certificates therefor, duly endorsed, at the office of this corporation or of any transfer agent for the Series A Preferred Stock, and shall give written notice to this corporation at its principal corporate office, of the election to convert the same and shall state therein the name or names in which the certificate or certificates for shares of Common Stock are to be issued. This corporation shall, as soon as practicable thereafter, issue and deliver at such office to such holder of Series A Preferred Stock, or to the nominee or nominees of such holder, a certificate or certificates for the number of shares of Common Stock to which such holder shall be entitled as aforesaid. Such conversion shall be deemed to have been made immediately prior to the close of business on the date of such surrender of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock to be converted, and the person or persons entitled to receive the shares of Common Stock issuable upon such conversion shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder or holders of such shares of Common Stock as of such date. If the conversion is in connection with a Change in Control the conversion shall be deemed to have occurred immediately prior to the closing of the transaction which resulted in the Change of Control.

(d) Adjustment in Conversion Price.
 

(i) Stock Splits. If the corporation at any time or from time to time after the date of the first issuance of shares of the Series A Preferred Stock ( the "Original Issue Date") declares or pays any dividend on its Common Stock payable in Common Stock or in any right to acquire Common Stock, or effects a subdivision of the outstanding shares of Common Stock into a greater number of shares of Common Stock (by stock split, reclassification or otherwise), or if the outstanding shares of Common Stock is combined or consolidated, by reclassification or otherwise, into a lesser number of shares of Common Stock, then the Conversion Ratio in effect immediately prior to such event shall, concurrently with the effectiveness of such event, be proportionately decreased or increased, as appropriate.

(ii) Recapitalization. If at any time or from time to time there shall be a recapitalization of the Common Stock (other than a subdivision, combination or merger or sale of assets transaction provided for elsewhere in this Section 4 or Section 2) provision shall be made so that the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock shall thereafter be entitled to receive upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock the number of shares of stock or other securities or property of the Company or otherwise, to which a holder of Common Stock deliverable upon conversion would have been entitled on such recapitalization. In any such case, appropriate adjustment shall be made in the application of the provisions of this Section 4 with respect to the rights of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock after the recapitalization to the end that the provisions of this Section 4 (including adjustment of the Conversion Ratio then in effect and the number of shares purchasable upon conversion of the Series A Preferred Stock) shall be applicable after that event as nearly equivalent as may be practicable.

(iii) Issuance of Additional Securities. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 4(d) , the Conversion Ratio will not be adjusted upward or downward because of the issuance of additional securities after Original Issue Date without consideration or for a consideration per share less than the price at which the Series A Preferred Stock was originally issued.

(e) No Impairment. This corporation will not, by amendment of its Certificate of Incorporation, reorganization, recapitalization, transfer of assets, consolidation, merger, dissolution, issue or sale of securities or any other voluntary action, avoid or seek to avoid the observance or performance of any of the terms to be observed or performed hereunder by this corporation, but will at all times in good faith assist in the carrying out of all the provisions of this Section 4 and in the taking of all such action as may be necessary or appropriate in order to protect the Conversion Ratio of the holders of the Series A Preferred Stock against impairment.

(f) No Fractional Shares. No fractional shares shall be issued upon the conversion of any share or shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, and the number of shares of Common Stock to be issued shall be rounded to the nearest whole share. Whether or not fractional shares are issuable upon such conversion shall be determined on the basis of the total number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock the holder is at the time converting into Common Stock and the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon such aggregate conversion.




(g) Certificate as to Adjustments. Upon the occurrence of each adjustment or readjustment of the Conversion Ratio of Series A Preferred Stock pursuant to this Section 4, this corporation, at its expense, shall promptly compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms hereof and prepare and furnish to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based. This corporation shall, upon the written request at any time of any holder of Series A Preferred Stock, furnish or cause to be furnished to such holder a like certificate setting forth (a) such adjustment and readjustment, (b) the Conversion Ratio for such series of Preferred Stock at the time in effect, and (c) the number of shares of Common Stock and the amount, if any, of other property which at the time would be received upon the conversion of a share of Series A Preferred Stock.

(h) Record Date. In the event of any taking by this corporation of a record of the holders of any class of securities for the purpose of determining the holders thereof who are entitled to receive any dividend (other than a cash dividend) or other distribution, any right to subscribe for, purchase or otherwise acquire any shares of stock of any class or any other securities or property, or to receive any other right, this corporation shall mail to each holder of Series A Preferred Stock, at least 20 days prior to the date specified therein, a notice specifying the date on which any such record is to be taken for the purpose of such dividend, distribution or right, and the amount and character of such dividend, distribution or right.

(i) Reservation of Stock Issuable Upon Conversion. This corporation shall at all times reserve and keep available out of its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock, solely for the purpose of effecting the conversion of the shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, such number of its shares of Common Stock as shall from time to time be sufficient to effect the conversion of all then outstanding shares of the Series A Preferred Stock, in addition to such other remedies as shall be available to the holder of such Series A Preferred Stock, this corporation will take such corporate action as may, in the opinion of its counsel, be necessary to increase its authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock to such number of shares as shall be sufficient for such purposes, including, without limitation, engaging in best efforts to obtain the requisite shareholder approval of any necessary amendment to these articles.

(j) Notices. Any notice required by the provisions of this Section 4 to be given to the holders of shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be deemed given if deposited in the United States mail, postage prepaid, and addressed to each holder of record at his address appearing on the books of this corporation.

5. No Voting Rights. The holder of each share of Series A Preferred Stock shall not have the right to vote their shares of Series A Preferred Stock on any matters on which holders of any other class of stock, including Common Stock, have the right to vote. However, holders of Series A Preferred Stock shall be entitled to notice of any shareholders' meeting in accordance with the bylaws of this corporation.

6. Protective Provisions. Subject to the rights of other series of Preferred Stock which may from time to time come into existence, so long as any shares of Series A Preferred Stock are outstanding, this corporation shall not alter or change the rights, preferences or privileges of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock without the consent of the holders of a majority of the shares of Series A Preferred Stock then outstanding.




7. Status of Converted or Redeemed Stock. In the event any shares of Series A Preferred Stock shall be converted pursuant to Section 4 hereof, the shares so converted shall be canceled and shall not be issuable by the corporation.

THREE. The authorized number of shares of Preferred Stock is 5,000,000 and no shares of such class have been issued. The authorized number of shares of Series A Preferred Stock is 500,000, and no shares of such series have been issued.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned has executed this certificate. The undersigned declares under penalty of perjury that the matters set forth in the foregoing certificate are true of his own knowledge. Executed at Newport Beach, California effective on October 8, 1998.

(b)  The Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to convert the Convertible Note or part thereof by telecopying or otherwise delivering an executed and completed notice of the number of shares to be converted to the Company (the “Notice of Conversion”). The Purchaser will not be required to surrender the Convertible Note until the Purchaser receives a credit to the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker through the DWAC system (as defined below), representing the Note Shares or until the Note has been fully satisfied. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is telecopied or delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a “Conversion Date.” Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Company will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel, if required, within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with the Depository Trust Company (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the “Conversion Delivery Date”).
 
(c)  The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Note Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof beyond the Conversion Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. In the event that the Company fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Note Shares to the Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in Section 9.1(b) above and the Note Shares are not delivered to the Purchaser by the Conversion Delivery Date, as compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Purchaser for late issuance of the Note Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9.1 hereof upon conversion of the Convertible Note in the amount equal to the greater of: (i) $500 per business day after the Conversion Delivery Date; or (ii) the Purchaser’s actual damages from such delayed delivery. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand and, in the case of actual damages, accompanied by reasonable documentation of the amount of such damages. Such documentation shall show the number of shares of Common Stock the Purchaser is forced to purchase (in an open market transaction) which the Purchaser anticipated receiving upon such conversion, and shall be calculated as the amount by which (A) the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including customary brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate principal and/or interest amount of the Note, for which such Conversion Notice was not timely honored.

(b)  The Purchaser will give notice of its decision to exercise its right to exercise either or both Warrants or part thereof by telecopying or otherwise delivering an executed and completed notice of the number of shares to be subscribed to the Company and its Exercise Price (as defined in each Warrant) to be paid therefor (the “Form of Subscription”). The Purchaser will not be required to surrender either or both Warrants until the Purchaser receives a credit to the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker through the DWAC system (as defined below), representing the Warrant Shares or until each Warrant has been fully exercised. Each date on which a Form of Subscription is telecopied or delivered to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a “Exercise Date.” Pursuant to the terms of the Form of Subscription, the Company will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel, if required, within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to the Company of the Form of Subscription and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Warrant Shares set forth in the applicable Form of Subscription to the Holder by crediting the account of the Purchaser’s prime broker with DTC through the DWAC system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Form of Subscription (the “Subscription Delivery Date”).
 
(c)  The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Warrant Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof beyond the Subscription Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Purchaser. In the event that the Company fails to direct its transfer agent to deliver the Warrant Shares to the Purchaser via the DWAC system within the time frame set forth in Section 9.2(b) above and the Warrant Shares are not delivered to the Purchaser by the Subscription Delivery Date, as compensation to the Purchaser for such loss, the Company agrees to pay late payments to the Purchaser for late issuance of the Warrant Shares in the form required pursuant to Section 9.2 hereof upon exercise of either or both Warrants in the amount equal to the greater of: (i) $500 per business day after the Delivery Date; or (ii) the Purchaser’s actual damages from such delayed delivery. The Company shall pay any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand and, in the case of actual damages, accompanied by reasonable documentation of the amount of such damages. Such documentation shall show the number of shares of Common Stock the Purchaser is forced to purchase (in an open market transaction) which the Purchaser anticipated receiving upon such exercise, and shall be calculated as the amount by which (A) the Purchaser’s total purchase price (including customary brokerage commissions, if any) for the shares of Common Stock so purchased exceeds (B) the aggregate amount of the Exercise Price for the applicable Warrant, for which such Form of Subscription was not timely honored.

ARTICLE II
CONVERSION AND REDEMPTION
 
2.1  Payment of Monthly Amount.
 
(a)  Payment in Cash or Common Stock. If the Monthly Amount (or a portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the Monthly Amount may be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2) is required to be paid in cash pursuant to Section 2.1(b), then the Company shall pay the Holder an amount in cash equal to 100% of the Monthly Amount (or such portion of such Monthly Amount to be paid in cash) due and owing to the Holder on the Amortization Date. If the Monthly Amount (or a portion of such Monthly Amount if not all of the Monthly Amount may be converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 3.2) is required to be paid in shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b), the number of such shares to be issued by the Company to the Holder on such Amortization Date (in respect of such portion of the Monthly Amount converted into shares of Common Stock pursuant to Section 2.1(b)), shall be the number determined by dividing (i) the portion of the Monthly Amount converted into shares of Common Stock, by (ii) the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. For purposes hereof, subject to Section 3.6 hereof, the “Fixed Conversion Price” means (a) $5.96, which price shall apply to the first $1,666,668 of the Principal Amount, (b) $6.23, which price shall apply to the next $1,666,666 of the Principal Amount, or (c) $7.69, which price shall apply to the remaining $1,666,666 of the Principal Amount.
 
(b)  Monthly Amount Conversion Conditions. Subject to Sections 2.1(a), 2.2, and 3.2 hereof, the Holder shall convert into shares of Common Stock all or a portion of the Monthly Amount due on each Amortization Date if the following conditions (the “Conversion Criteria”) are satisfied: (i) the average closing price of the Common Stock as reported by Bloomberg, L.P. on the Principal Market for the five (5) trading days immediately preceding such Amortization Date shall be greater than or equal to one hundred eighteen percent (118%) of the Fixed Conversion Price and (ii) the amount of such conversion does not exceed twenty five percent (25%) of the aggregate dollar trading volume of the Common Stock for the period of twenty-two (22) trading days immediately preceding and including such Amortization Date. If subsection (i) of the Conversion Criteria is met but subsection (ii) of the Conversion Criteria is not met as to the entire Monthly Amount, the Holder shall convert only such part of the Monthly Amount that meets subsection (ii) of the Conversion Criteria. Any portion of the Monthly Amount due on an Amortization Date that the Holder has not been able to convert into shares of Common Stock due to the failure to meet the Conversion Criteria, shall be paid in cash by the Company at the rate of 100% of the Monthly Amount otherwise due on such Amortization Date, within three (3) business days of such Amortization Date.
 
2.2  No Effective Registration. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not be permitted to pay any part of its obligations to the Holder hereunder in shares of Common Stock if (a) there fails to exist an effective current Registration Statement (as defined in the Registration Rights Agreement) covering the resale of the shares of Common Stock to be issued in connection with such payment or (b) an Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) exists and is continuing, unless such Event of Default is cured within any applicable cure period or otherwise waived in writing by the Holder.
 
2.3  Optional Redemption in Cash. The Company may prepay this Note (“Optional Redemption”) by paying to the Holder a sum of money equal to one hundred twenty-four percent (124%) of the aggregate amount of (a) the Principal Amount outstanding and (b) the principal amount outstanding pursuant to that certain Secured Term Note dated as of the date hereof, made by the Company in favor of the Holder, in the original principal amount of $10,000,000, at such time together with accrued but unpaid interest thereon and any and all other sums due, accrued or payable to the Holder arising under this Note, the Term Note, the Purchase Agreement or any other Related Agreement (the “Redemption Amount”) outstanding on the Redemption Payment Date (as defined below). The Company shall deliver to the Holder a written notice of redemption (the “Notice of Redemption”) specifying the date for such Optional Redemption (the “Redemption Payment Date”), which date shall be seven (7) business days after the date of the Notice of Redemption (the “Redemption Period”). A Notice of Redemption shall not be effective with respect to any portion of this Note for which the Holder has previously delivered a Notice of Conversion (as hereinafter defined) or for conversions elected to be made by the Holder pursuant to Article III during the Redemption Period. The Redemption Amount shall be determined as if the Holder’s conversion elections had been completed immediately prior to the date of the Notice of Redemption. On the Redemption Payment Date, the Redemption Amount must be paid in good funds to the Holder. In the event the Company fails to pay the Redemption Amount on the Redemption Payment Date as set forth herein, then such Redemption Notice will be null and void.
 
ARTICLE III
HOLDER’S CONVERSION RIGHTS
 
3.1  Optional Conversion. Subject to the terms set forth in this Article III, the Holder shall have the right, but not the obligation, to convert all or any portion of the issued and outstanding Principal Amount and/or accrued interest and fees due and payable into fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock at the Fixed Conversion Price. The shares of Common Stock to be issued upon such conversion are herein referred to as, the “Conversion Shares.”
 
3.2  Conversion Limitation. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to convert any portion of this Note in excess of that portion of this Note upon conversion of which the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unconverted portion of the Note or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the conversion of the portion of this Note with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of any amount greater than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.   For purposes of the proviso to the second preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (a) of such proviso.  The limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the Holder upon provision of no less than sixty-one (61) days prior notice to the Company and (y) shall automatically become null and void (i) following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, or (ii) upon receipt by the Holder of a Notice of Redemption, except that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder at a price below $5.35 per share pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement or otherwise, shall not exceed an aggregate of 3,811,864 shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”), unless the issuance of Common Shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to time the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement or otherwise, together with the number of shares of Common Stock that would then be issuable by the Company to the Holder in the event of a conversion pursuant to the terms of this Note, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or otherwise, would exceed the Maximum Common Stock Issuance but for this Section 3.2, the Company shall promptly call a shareholders meeting to solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance.
 
3.3  Mechanics of Holder’s Conversion. In the event that the Holder elects to convert this Note into Common Stock, the Holder shall give notice of such election by delivering an executed and completed notice of conversion in substantially the form of Exhibit A hereto (appropriate completed) (“Notice of Conversion”) to the Company and such Notice of Conversion shall provide a breakdown in reasonable detail of the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees that are being converted. On each Conversion Date (as hereinafter defined) and in accordance with its Notice of Conversion, the Holder shall make the appropriate reduction to the Principal Amount, accrued interest and fees as entered in its records and shall provide written notice thereof to the Company within two (2) business days after the Conversion Date. Each date on which a Notice of Conversion is delivered or telecopied to the Company in accordance with the provisions hereof shall be deemed a Conversion Date (the “Conversion Date”). Pursuant to the terms of the Notice of Conversion, the Company will issue instructions to the transfer agent accompanied by an opinion of counsel, if required, within one (1) business day of the date of the delivery to the Company of the Notice of Conversion and shall cause the transfer agent to transmit the certificates representing the Conversion Shares to the Holder by crediting the account of the Holder’s designated broker with the Depository Trust Corporation (“DTC”) through its Deposit Withdrawal Agent Commission (“DWAC”) system within three (3) business days after receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion (the “Delivery Date”). In the case of the exercise of the conversion rights set forth herein the conversion privilege shall be deemed to have been exercised and the Conversion Shares issuable upon such conversion shall be deemed to have been issued upon the date of receipt by the Company of the Notice of Conversion. The Holder shall be treated for all purposes as the record holder of the Conversion Shares, unless the Holder provides the Company written instructions to the contrary.
 
3.4  Late Payments. The Company understands that a delay in the delivery of the Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article beyond the Delivery Date could result in economic loss to the Holder. As compensation to the Holder for such loss, in addition to all other rights and remedies which the Holder may have under this Note, applicable law or otherwise, the Company shall pay late payments to the Holder for any late issuance of Conversion Shares in the form required pursuant to this Article II upon conversion of this Note, in the amount equal to $500 per business day after the Delivery Date. The Company shall make any payments incurred under this Section in immediately available funds upon demand.
 
3.5  Conversion Mechanics. The number of shares of Common Stock to be issued upon each conversion of this Note shall be determined by dividing that portion of the principal and interest and fees to be converted, if any, by the then applicable Fixed Conversion Price. In the event of any conversions of a portion of the outstanding Principal Amount pursuant to this Article III, such conversions shall be deemed to constitute conversions of the outstanding Principal Amount applying to Monthly Amounts for the remaining Amortization Dates in chronological order.
 
3.6  Adjustment Provisions. The Fixed Conversion Price and number and kind of shares or other securities to be issued upon conversion determined pursuant to this Note shall be subject to adjustment from time to time upon the occurrence of certain events during the period that this conversion right remains outstanding, as follows:
 
(a)  Reclassification. If the Company at any time shall, by reclassification or otherwise, change the Common Stock into the same or a different number of securities of any class or classes, this Note, as to the unpaid Principal Amount and accrued interest thereon, shall thereafter be deemed to evidence the right to purchase an adjusted number of such securities and kind of securities as would have been issuable as the result of such change with respect to the Common Stock (i) immediately prior to or (ii) immediately after, such reclassification or other change at the sole election of the Holder.
 
(b)  Stock Splits, Combinations and Dividends. If the shares of Common Stock are subdivided or combined into a greater or smaller number of shares of Common Stock, or if a dividend is paid on the Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Company in shares of Common Stock, the Fixed Conversion Price shall be proportionately reduced in case of subdivision of shares or stock dividend or proportionately increased in the case of combination of shares, in each such case by the ratio which the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event bears to the total number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event.
 
3.7  Reservation of Shares. During the period the conversion right exists, the Company will reserve from its authorized and unissued Common Stock a sufficient number of shares to provide for the issuance of Conversion Shares upon the full conversion of this Note and the Warrant. The Company represents that upon issuance, the Conversion Shares will be duly and validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable. The Company agrees that its issuance of this Note shall constitute full authority to its officers, agents, and transfer agents who are charged with the duty of executing and issuing stock certificates to execute and issue the necessary certificates for the Conversion Shares upon the conversion of this Note.
 
3.8  Registration Rights. The Holder has been granted registration rights with respect to the Conversion Shares as set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement.
 
3.9  Issuance of New Note. Upon any partial conversion of this Note, a new Note containing the same date and provisions of this Note shall, at the request of the Holder, be issued by the Company to the Holder for the principal balance of this Note and interest which shall not have been converted or paid. Subject to the provisions of Article IV of this Note, the Company shall not pay any costs, fees or any other consideration to the Holder for the production and issuance of a new Note.

As soon as practicable after the exercise of this Warrant in full or in part, and in any event within three (3) business days thereafter, the Company at its expense (including the payment by it of any applicable issue taxes) will cause to be issued in the name of and delivered to the Holder, or as such Holder (upon payment by such Holder of any applicable transfer taxes) may direct in compliance with applicable securities laws, a certificate or certificates for the number of duly and validly issued, fully paid and nonassessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) to which such Holder shall be entitled on such exercise, plus, in lieu of any fractional share to which such holder would otherwise be entitled, cash equal to such fraction multiplied by the then Fair Market Value of one full share, together with any other stock or other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) to which such Holder is entitled upon such exercise pursuant to Section 1 or otherwise.
 
2.2.  Exercise. Payment shall be made either in cash or by certified or official bank check payable to the order of the Company equal to the applicable aggregate Exercise Price for the number of Common Shares specified in such Exercise Notice (as such exercise number shall be adjusted to reflect any adjustment in the total number of shares of Common Stock issuable to the Holder per the terms of this Warrant) and the Holder shall thereupon be entitled to receive the number of duly authorized, validly issued, fully-paid and non-assessable shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) determined as provided herein.
 
3.  Effect of Reorganization, Etc.; Adjustment of Exercise Price.
 
3.1.  Reorganization, Consolidation, Merger, Etc. In case at any time or from time to time, the Company shall (a) effect a reorganization, (b) consolidate with or merge into any other person, or (c) transfer all or substantially all of its properties or assets to any other person under any plan or arrangement contemplating the dissolution of the Company, then, in each such case, as a condition to the consummation of such a transaction, if applicable, proper and adequate provision shall be made by the Company whereby the Holder, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1 at any time after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of such dissolution, as the case may be, shall receive, in lieu of the Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on such exercise prior to such consummation or such effective date, the stock and other securities and property (including cash) to which such Holder would have been entitled upon such consummation or in connection with such dissolution, as the case may be, if such Holder had so exercised this Warrant, immediately prior thereto, all subject to further adjustment thereafter as provided in Section 4.
 
3.2.  Dissolution. In the event of any dissolution of the Company following the transfer of all or substantially all of its properties or assets, the Company, concurrently with any distributions made to holders of its Common Stock, shall at its expense deliver or cause to be delivered to the Holder the stock and other securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder pursuant to Section 3.1 to the extent the Holder has exercised the warrant following the transfer of assets, or, if the Holder shall so instruct the Company, to a bank or trust company specified by the Holder and having its principal office in New York, NY as trustee for the Holder (the “Trustee”).
 
3.3.  Continuation of Terms. Upon any reorganization, consolidation, merger or transfer (and any dissolution following any transfer) referred to in this Section 3, this Warrant shall continue in full force and effect and the terms hereof shall be applicable to the shares of stock and other securities and property receivable on the exercise of this Warrant after the consummation of such reorganization, consolidation or merger or the effective date of dissolution following any such transfer, as the case may be, and shall be binding upon the issuer of any such stock or other securities, including, in the case of any such transfer, the person acquiring all or substantially all of the properties or assets of the Company, whether or not such person shall have expressly assumed the terms of this Warrant as provided in Section 4. In the event this Warrant does not continue in full force and effect after the consummation of the transactions described in this Section 3, then the Company’s securities and property (including cash, where applicable) receivable by the Holder will be delivered to the Holder or the Trustee as contemplated by Section 3.2.
 
4.  Extraordinary Events Regarding Common Stock. In the event that the Company shall (a) issue additional shares of the Common Stock as a dividend or other distribution on outstanding Common Stock or any preferred stock issued by the Company (b) subdivide its outstanding shares of Common Stock, or (c) combine its outstanding shares of the Common Stock into a smaller number of shares of the Common Stock, then, in each such event, the Exercise Price shall, simultaneously with the happening of such event, be adjusted by multiplying the then Exercise Price by a fraction, the numerator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to such event and the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after such event, and the product so obtained shall thereafter be the Exercise Price then in effect. The Exercise Price, as so adjusted, shall be readjusted in the same manner upon the happening of any successive event or events described herein in this Section 4. The number of shares of Common Stock that the Holder shall thereafter, on the exercise hereof as provided in Section 1, be entitled to receive shall be adjusted to a number determined by multiplying the number of shares of Common Stock that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be issuable on such exercise by a fraction of which (a) the numerator is the Exercise Price that would otherwise (but for the provisions of this Section 4) be in effect, and (b) the denominator is the Exercise Price in effect on the date of such exercise (taking into account the provisions of this Section 4). Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event shall the Exercise Price be less than the par value of the Common Stock.
 
5.  Certificate as to Adjustments. In each case of any adjustment or readjustment in the shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issuable on the exercise of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will promptly cause its Chief Financial Officer or other appropriate designee to compute such adjustment or readjustment in accordance with the terms of this Warrant and prepare a certificate setting forth such adjustment or readjustment and showing in detail the facts upon which such adjustment or readjustment is based, including a statement of (a) the consideration received or receivable by the Company for any additional shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) issued or sold or deemed to have been issued or sold, (b) the number of shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) outstanding or deemed to be outstanding, and (c) the Exercise Price and the number of shares of Common Stock to be received upon exercise of this Warrant, in effect immediately prior to such adjustment or readjustment and as adjusted or readjusted as provided in this Warrant. The Company will forthwith mail a copy of each such certificate to the Holder and any Warrant agent of the Company (appointed pursuant to Section 11 hereof).
 
6.  Reservation of Stock, Etc., Issuable on Exercise of Warrant. The Company will at all times reserve and keep available, solely for issuance and delivery on the exercise of this Warrant, shares of Common Stock (or Other Securities) from time to time issuable on the exercise of this Warrant.
 
7.  Assignment; Exchange of Warrant. Subject to compliance with applicable securities laws, this Warrant, and the rights evidenced hereby, may be transferred by any registered holder hereof (a “Transferor”) in whole or in part. On the surrender for exchange of this Warrant, with the Transferor’s endorsement in the form of Exhibit B attached hereto (the “Transferor Endorsement Form”) and together with evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company demonstrating compliance with applicable securities laws, which shall include, without limitation, the provision of a legal opinion from the Transferor’s counsel (at the Company’s expense) that such transfer is exempt from the registration requirements of applicable securities laws, the Company at its expense (but with payment by the Transferor of any applicable transfer taxes) will issue and deliver to or on the order of the Transferor thereof a new Warrant of like tenor, in the name of the Transferor and/or the transferee(s) specified in such Transferor Endorsement Form (each a “Transferee”), calling in the aggregate on the face or faces thereof for the number of shares of Common Stock called for on the face or faces of the Warrant so surrendered by the Transferor.
 
8.  Replacement of Warrant. On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
 
9.  Registration Rights. The Holder has been granted certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and Holder dated as of the date hereof, as the same may be amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time.
 
10.  Maximum Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of any amount greater than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.   For purposes of the proviso to the second preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (a) of such proviso.  The limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the Holder upon provision of no less than sixty-one (61) days prior notice to the Company and (y) shall automatically become null and void following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Holder and the Company (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”)), except that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder at a price below $5.35 per share pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or otherwise, shall not exceed an aggregate of 3,811,864 shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”), unless the issuance of Common Shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to time the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement or otherwise, together with the number of shares of Common Stock that would then be issuable by the Company to the Holder in the event of a conversion pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement or otherwise, would exceed the Maximum Common Stock Issuance but for this Section 10, the Company shall promptly call a shareholders meeting to solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance.
 
11.  Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the each Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.
 
12.  Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
 
13.  Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder who has so furnished an address to the Company.
 
14.  Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. ANY ACTION BROUGHT CONCERNING THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS WARRANT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN THE STATE COURTS OF NEW YORK OR IN THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE HOLDER MAY CHOOSE TO WAIVE THIS PROVISION AND BRING AN ACTION OUTSIDE THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party.

On receipt of evidence reasonably satisfactory to the Company of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of this Warrant and, in the case of any such loss, theft or destruction of this Warrant, on delivery of an indemnity agreement or security reasonably satisfactory in form and amount to the Company or, in the case of any such mutilation, on surrender and cancellation of this Warrant, the Company at its expense will execute and deliver, in lieu thereof, a new Warrant of like tenor.
 
9.  Registration Rights. The Holder has been granted certain registration rights by the Company. These registration rights are set forth in a Registration Rights Agreement entered into by the Company and Holder dated as of the date hereof, as the same may be amended, modified and/or supplemented from time to time.
 
10.  Maximum Exercise. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Holder be entitled to exercise any portion of this Warrant in excess of that portion of this Warrant upon exercise of which the sum of (a) the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder and its Affiliates (other than shares of Common Stock which may be deemed beneficially owned through the ownership of the unexercised portion of the Warrant or the unexercised or unconverted portion of any other security of the Holder subject to a limitation on conversion analogous to the limitations contained herein) and (b) the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon the exercise of the portion of this Warrant with respect to which the determination of this proviso is being made, would result in beneficial ownership by the Holder and its Affiliates of any amount greater than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock (whether or not, at the time of such exercise, the Holder and its Affiliates beneficially own more than 4.99% of the then outstanding shares of Common Stock). As used herein, the term “Affiliate” means any person or entity that, directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with a person or entity, as such terms are used in and construed under Rule 144 under the Securities Act.   For purposes of the proviso to the second preceding sentence, beneficial ownership shall be determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and Regulations 13D-G thereunder, except as otherwise provided in clause (a) of such proviso.  The limitations set forth herein (x) may be waived by the Holder upon provision of no less than sixty-one (61) days prior notice to the Company and (y) shall automatically become null and void following notice to the Company upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined in the Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof among the Holder and the Company (as amended, modified, restated and/or supplemented from time to time, the “Purchase Agreement”)), except that at no time shall the number of shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Holder exceed 19.99% of the outstanding shares of Common Stock. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the number of shares of Common Stock issuable by the Company and acquirable by the Holder at a price below $5.35 per share pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) or otherwise, shall not exceed an aggregate of 3,811,864 shares of Common Stock (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, or other similar recapitalizations affecting the Common Stock) (the “Maximum Common Stock Issuance”), unless the issuance of Common Shares hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance shall first be approved by the Company’s shareholders. If at any point in time and from time to time the number of shares of Common Stock issued pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement or otherwise, together with the number of shares of Common Stock that would then be issuable by the Company to the Holder in the event of a conversion pursuant to the terms of this Warrant, the Purchase Agreement, any Related Agreement or otherwise, would exceed the Maximum Common Stock Issuance but for this Section 10, the Company shall promptly call a shareholders meeting to solicit shareholder approval for the issuance of the shares of Common Stock hereunder in excess of the Maximum Common Stock Issuance.
 
11.  Warrant Agent. The Company may, by written notice to the each Holder of the Warrant, appoint an agent for the purpose of issuing Common Stock (or Other Securities) on the exercise of this Warrant pursuant to Section 1, exchanging this Warrant pursuant to Section 7, and replacing this Warrant pursuant to Section 8, or any of the foregoing, and thereafter any such issuance, exchange or replacement, as the case may be, shall be made at such office by such agent.
 
12.  Transfer on the Company’s Books. Until this Warrant is transferred on the books of the Company, the Company may treat the registered holder hereof as the absolute owner hereof for all purposes, notwithstanding any notice to the contrary.
 
13.  Notices, Etc. All notices and other communications from the Company to the Holder shall be mailed by first class registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, at such address as may have been furnished to the Company in writing by such Holder or, until any such Holder furnishes to the Company an address, then to, and at the address of, the last Holder who has so furnished an address to the Company.
 
14.  Miscellaneous. This Warrant and any term hereof may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of such change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. THIS WARRANT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. ANY ACTION BROUGHT CONCERNING THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS WARRANT SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN THE STATE COURTS OF NEW YORK OR IN THE FEDERAL COURTS LOCATED IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT THE HOLDER MAY CHOOSE TO WAIVE THIS PROVISION AND BRING AN ACTION OUTSIDE THE STATE OF NEW YORK. The individuals executing this Warrant on behalf of the Company agree to submit to the jurisdiction of such courts and waive trial by jury. The prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the other party its reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. In the event that any provision of this Warrant is invalid or unenforceable under any applicable statute or rule of law, then such provision shall be deemed inoperative to the extent that it may conflict therewith and shall be deemed modified to conform with such statute or rule of law. Any such provision which may prove invalid or unenforceable under any law shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision of this Warrant. The headings in this Warrant are for purposes of reference only, and shall not limit or otherwise affect any of the terms hereof. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision hereof shall in no way affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The Company acknowledges that legal counsel participated in the preparation of this Warrant and, therefore, stipulates that the rule of construction that ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be applied in the interpretation of this Warrant to favor any party against the other party.
 
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has executed this Warrant as of the date first written above.

New York, New York_____________, 20__
 
FOR VALUE RECEIVED, and in consideration of note purchases from, loans made or to be made or credit otherwise extended or to be extended by Laurus Master Fund, Ltd. (“Laurus”) to or for the account of Modtech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Debtor”), from time to time and at any time and for other good and valuable consideration and to induce Laurus, in its discretion, to purchase such notes, make such loans or other extensions of credit and to make or grant such renewals, extensions, releases of collateral or relinquishments of legal rights as Laurus may deem advisable, each of the undersigned (and each of them if more than one, the liability under this Guaranty being joint and several) (jointly and severally referred to as “Guarantors” or “the undersigned”) unconditionally guaranties to Laurus, its successors, endorsees and assigns the prompt payment when due (whether by acceleration or otherwise) of all present and future obligations and liabilities of any and all kinds of Debtor to Laurus and of all instruments of any nature evidencing or relating to any such obligations and liabilities upon which Debtor or one or more parties and Debtor is or may become liable to Laurus, whether incurred by Debtor as maker, endorser, drawer, acceptor, guarantors , accommodation party or otherwise, and whether due or to become due, secured or unsecured, absolute or contingent, joint or several, and however or whenever acquired by Laurus, whether arising under, out of, or in connection with (i) that certain Securities Purchase Agreement dated as of the date hereof by and between the Debtor and Laurus (the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) and (ii) each Related Agreement referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement and each Related Agreement, as each may be amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, are collectively referred to herein as the “Documents”), or any documents, instruments or agreements relating to or executed in connection with the Documents or any documents, instruments or agreements referred to therein or otherwise, or any other indebtedness, obligations or liabilities of the Debtor to Laurus, whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, due or not due and whether under, pursuant to or evidenced by a note, agreement, guaranty, instrument or otherwise (all of which are herein collectively referred to as the “Obligations”), and irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of the Obligations in any case commenced by or against Debtor under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations or indebtedness of Debtor for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Obligations but for the commencement of such case. Terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning assigned such terms in the Securities Purchase Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, the undersigned hereby agrees as follows:
 
1.  No Impairment. Laurus may at any time and from time to time, either before or after the maturity thereof, without notice to or further consent of the undersigned, extend the time of payment of, exchange or surrender any collateral for, renew or extend any of the Obligations or increase or decrease the interest rate thereon, or any other agreement with Debtor or with any other party to or person liable on any of the Obligations, or interested therein, for the extension, renewal, payment, compromise, discharge or release thereof, in whole or in part, or for any modification of the terms thereof or of any agreement between Laurus and Debtor or any such other party or person, or make any election of rights Laurus may deem desirable under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally (any of the foregoing, an “Insolvency Law”) without in any way impairing or affecting this Guaranty. This Guaranty shall be effective regardless of the subsequent incorporation, merger or consolidation of Debtor, or any change in the composition, nature, personnel or location of Debtor and shall extend to any successor entity to Debtor, including a debtor in possession or the like under any Insolvency Law.
 
2.  Guaranty Absolute. Subject to Section 5(c) hereof, each of the undersigned jointly and severally guarantees that the Obligations will be paid strictly in accordance with the terms of the Documents and/or any other document, instrument or agreement creating or evidencing the Obligations, regardless of any law, regulation or order now or hereafter in effect in any jurisdiction affecting any of such terms or the rights of Debtor with respect thereto. Guarantors hereby knowingly accept the full range of risk encompassed within a contract of “continuing guaranty” which risk includes the possibility that Debtor will contract additional indebtedness for which Guarantors may be liable hereunder after Debtor’s financial condition or ability to pay its lawful debts when they fall due has deteriorated, whether or not Debtor has properly authorized incurring such additional indebtedness. The undersigned acknowledge that (i) no oral representations, including any representations to extend credit or provide other financial accommodations to Debtor, have been made by Laurus to induce the undersigned to enter into this Guaranty and (ii) any extension of credit to the Debtor shall be governed solely by the provisions of the Documents. The liability of each of the undersigned under this Guaranty shall be absolute and unconditional, in accordance with its terms, and shall remain in full force and effect without regard to, and shall not be released, suspended, discharged, terminated or otherwise affected by, any circumstance or occurrence whatsoever, including, without limitation: (a) any waiver, indulgence, renewal, extension, amendment or modification of or addition, consent or supplement to or deletion from or any other action or inaction under or in respect of the Documents or any other instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (b) any lack of validity or enforceability of any Document or other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof, (c) any furnishing of any additional security to Laurus or its assignees or any acceptance thereof or any release of any security by Laurus or its assignees, (d) any limitation on any party’s liability or obligation under the Documents or any other documents, instruments or agreements relating to the Obligations or any assignment or transfer of any thereof or any invalidity or unenforceability, in whole or in part, of any such document, instrument or agreement or any term thereof, (e) any bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, adjustment, dissolution, liquidation or other like proceeding relating to Debtor, or any action taken with respect to this Guaranty by any trustee or receiver, or by any court, in any such proceeding, whether or not the undersigned shall have notice or knowledge of any of the foregoing, (f) any exchange, release or nonperfection of any collateral, or any release, or amendment or waiver of or consent to departure from any guaranty or security, for all or any of the Obligations or (g) any other circumstance which might otherwise constitute a defense available to, or a discharge of, the undersigned. Any amounts due from the undersigned to Laurus shall bear interest until such amounts are paid in full at the highest rate then applicable to the Obligations. Obligations include post-petition interest whether or not allowed or allowable. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Purchaser acknowledges, based upon the representations and warranties made by the Company and its Subsidiaries under Section 4.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, that the Subsidiaries of the Company set forth on Schedule 4.1 thereto have either dissolved, suspended operations and/or filed for their corporate charters to be revolved and such occurrences shall not constitute a breach under this guaranty.
 
3.  Waivers.
 
(a)  This Guaranty is a guaranty of payment and not of collection. Laurus shall be under no obligation to institute suit, exercise rights or remedies or take any other action against Debtor or any other person or entity liable with respect to any of the Obligations or resort to any collateral security held by it to secure any of the Obligations as a condition precedent to the undersigned being obligated to perform as agreed herein and each of the Guarantors hereby waives any and all rights which it may have by statute or otherwise which would require Laurus to do any of the foregoing. Each of the Guarantors further consents and agrees that Laurus shall be under no obligation to marshal any assets in favor of Guarantors, or against or in payment of any or all of the Obligations. The undersigned hereby waives all suretyship defenses and any rights to interpose any defense, counterclaim or offset of any nature and description which the undersigned may have or which may exist between and among Laurus, Debtor and/or the undersigned with respect to the undersigned’s obligations under this Guaranty, or which Debtor may assert on the underlying debt, including but not limited to failure of consideration, breach of warranty, fraud, payment (other than cash payment in full of the Obligations), statute of frauds, bankruptcy, infancy, statute of limitations, accord and satisfaction, and usury.
 
(b)  Each of the undersigned further waives (i) notice of the acceptance of this Guaranty, of the making of any such loans or extensions of credit, and of all notices and demands of any kind to which the undersigned may be entitled, including, without limitation, notice of adverse change in Debtor’s financial condition or of any other fact which might materially increase the risk of the undersigned and (ii) presentment to or demand of payment from anyone whomsoever liable upon any of the Obligations, protest, notices of presentment, non-payment or protest and notice of any sale of collateral security or any default of any sort.
 
(c)  Notwithstanding any payment or payments made by the undersigned hereunder, or any setoff or application of funds of the undersigned by Laurus, the undersigned shall not be entitled to be subrogated to any of the rights of Laurus against Debtor or against any collateral or guarantee or right of offset held by Laurus for the payment of the Obligations, nor shall the undersigned seek or be entitled to seek any contribution or reimbursement from Debtor in respect of payments made by the undersigned hereunder, until all amounts owing to Laurus by Debtor on account of the Obligations are indefeasibly paid in full and Laurus’ obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Documents has been irrevocably terminated. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any amount shall be paid to the undersigned on account of such subrogation rights at any time when all of the Obligations shall not have been paid in full and Laurus’ obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Documents shall not have been terminated, such amount shall be held by the undersigned in trust for Laurus, segregated from other funds of the undersigned, and shall forthwith upon, and in any event within two (2) business days of, receipt by the undersigned, be turned over to Laurus in the exact form received by the undersigned (duly endorsed by the undersigned to Laurus, if required), to be applied against the Obligations, whether matured or unmatured, in such order as Laurus may determine, subject to the provisions of the Documents. Any and all present and future debts and obligations of Debtor to any of the undersigned are hereby waived and postponed in favor of, and subordinated to the full payment and performance of, all present and future Obligations of Debtor to Laurus.
 
4.  Security. All sums at any time to the credit of the undersigned and any property of the undersigned in Laurus’ possession or in the possession of any bank, financial institution or other entity that directly or indirectly, through one or more intermediaries, controls or is controlled by, or is under common control with, Laurus (each such entity, an “Affiliate”) shall be deemed held by Laurus or such Affiliate, as the case may be, as security for any and all of the undersigned’s obligations to Laurus and to any Affiliate of Laurus, no matter how or when arising and whether under this or any other instrument, agreement or otherwise.
 
5.  Representations and Warranties. Each of the undersigned hereby jointly and severally represents and warrants (all of which representations and warranties shall survive until all Obligations are indefeasibly satisfied in full and the Documents have been irrevocably terminated), that:
 
(a)  Corporate Status. It is a corporation, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, duly formed, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation indicated on the signature page hereof and has full power, authority and legal right to own its property and assets and to transact the business in which it is engaged.
 
(b)  Authority and Execution. It has full power, authority and legal right to execute and deliver, and to perform its obligations under, this Guaranty and has taken all necessary corporate, partnership or limited liability company, as the case may be, action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty.
 
(c)  Legal, Valid and Binding Character. This Guaranty constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general application affecting the enforcement of creditor’s rights and general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable or legal remedies.
 
(d)  Violations. The execution, delivery and performance of this Guaranty will not violate any requirement of law applicable to it or any contract, agreement or instrument to which it is a party or by which it or any of its property is bound or result in the creation or imposition of any mortgage, lien or other encumbrance other than in favor of Laurus on any of its property or assets pursuant to the provisions of any of the foregoing, which, in any of the foregoing cases, could reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(e)  Consents or Approvals. Other than those consents set forth on Schedule 5(e) hereto which have been previously obtained, no consent of any other person or entity (including, without limitation, any creditor of the undersigned) and no consent, license, permit, approval or authorization of, exemption by, notice or report to, or registration, filing or declaration with, any governmental authority is required in connection with the execution, delivery, performance, validity or enforceability of this Guaranty by it, except to the extent that the failure to obtain any of the foregoing could not reasonably be expected to have, either individually or in the aggregate, a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(f)  Litigation. No litigation, arbitration, investigation or administrative proceeding of or before any court, arbitrator or governmental authority, bureau or agency is currently pending or, to the best of its knowledge, threatened (i) with respect to this Guaranty or any of the transactions contemplated by this Guaranty or (ii) against or affecting it, or any of its property or assets, which, in each of the foregoing cases, if adversely determined, could reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
 
(g)  Financial Benefit. It has derived or expects to derive a financial or other advantage from each and every loan, advance or extension of credit made under the Documents or other Obligation incurred by the Debtor to Laurus.
 
(h)  Solvency. As of the date of this Guaranty, (a) the fair saleable value of its assets exceeds its liabilities and (b) it is meeting its current liabilities as they mature.
 
Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Purchaser acknowledges, based upon the representations and warranties made by the Company and its Subsidiaries under Section 4.2 of the Securities Purchase Agreement, that the Subsidiary of the Company set forth on Schedule 4.1 thereto have either dissolved, suspended operations and/or filed for their corporate charters to be revolved and such occurrences shall not constitute a breach under this guaranty.
 
6.  Acceleration.
 
(a)  If any breach of any covenant or condition or other event of default shall occur and be continuing under any agreement made by Debtor or any of the undersigned to Laurus, or either Debtor or any of the undersigned should at any time become insolvent, or make a general assignment, or if a proceeding in or under any Insolvency Law shall be filed or commenced by, or in respect of, any of the undersigned, or if a notice of any lien, levy, or assessment is filed of record with respect to any assets of any of the undersigned by the United States of America or any department, agency, or instrumentality thereof, or if any taxes or debts owing at any time or times hereafter to any one of them becomes a lien or encumbrance upon any assets of the undersigned in Laurus’ possession, or otherwise, any and all Obligations shall for purposes hereof, at Laurus’ option, be deemed due and payable without notice notwithstanding that any such Obligation is not then due and payable by Debtor.
 
(b)  Each of the undersigned will promptly notify Laurus of any default by such undersigned in its respective performance or observance of any term or condition of any agreement to which the undersigned is a party if the effect of such default is to cause, or permit the holder of any obligation under such agreement to cause, such obligation to become due prior to its stated maturity and, if such an event occurs, Laurus shall have the right to accelerate such undersigned’s obligations hereunder.
 
7.  Payments from Guarantors. Laurus, in its sole and absolute discretion, with or without notice to the undersigned, may apply on account of the Obligations any payment from the undersigned or any other guarantors, or amounts realized from any security for the Obligations, or may deposit any and all such amounts realized in a non-interest bearing cash collateral deposit account to be maintained as security for the Obligations.
 
8.  Costs. The undersigned shall pay on demand, all costs, fees and expenses (including expenses for legal services of every kind) relating or incidental to the enforcement or protection of the rights of Laurus hereunder or under any of the Obligations.
 
9.  No Termination. This is a continuing irrevocable guaranty and shall remain in full force and effect and be binding upon the undersigned, and each of the undersigned’s successors and assigns, until all of the Obligations have been indefeasibly paid in full and Laurus’ obligation to extend credit pursuant to the Documents has been irrevocably terminated. If any of the present or future Obligations are guarantied by persons, partnerships or entities in addition to the undersigned, the death, release or discharge in whole or in part or the bankruptcy, merger, consolidation, incorporation, liquidation or dissolution of one or more of them shall not discharge or affect the liabilities of any undersigned under this Guaranty.
 
10.  Recapture. Anything in this Guaranty to the contrary notwithstanding, if Laurus receives any payment or payments on account of the liabilities guaranteed hereby, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under any Insolvency Law, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not finally retained by Laurus, the undersigned’s obligations to Laurus shall be reinstated and this Guaranty shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been made to Laurus, which payment shall be due on demand.
 
11.  Books and Records. The books and records of Laurus showing the account between Laurus and Debtor shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, shall be binding upon the undersigned for the purpose of establishing the items therein set forth and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof.
 
12.  No Waiver. No failure on the part of Laurus to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right, remedy or power hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise by Laurus of any right, remedy or power hereunder preclude any other or future exercise of any other legal right, remedy or power. Each and every right, remedy and power hereby granted to Laurus or allowed it by law or other agreement shall be cumulative and not exclusive of any other, and may be exercised by Laurus at any time and from time to time.
 
13.  Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED DESIRES THAT ITS DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED HERETO WAIVES ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN LAURUS, AND/OR ANY OF THE UNDERSIGNED ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEM IN CONNECTION WITH THIS GUARANTY, ANY DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.

EACH OF THE UNDERSIGNED EXPRESSLY SUBMITS AND CONSENTS IN ADVANCE TO SUCH JURISDICTION IN ANY ACTION OR SUIT COMMENCED IN ANY SUCH COURT, AND EACH UNDERSIGNED HEREBY WAIVES ANY OBJECTION WHICH IT MAY HAVE BASED UPON LACK OF PERSONAL JURISDICTION, IMPROPER VENUE OR FORUM NON CONVENIENS.

If, notwithstanding the intent of the parties that the terms of this Guaranty shall control in any and all circumstances, any such waivers or consents are determined to be unenforceable under applicable law, such waivers and consents shall be effective to the maximum extent permitted by law.
 
16.  Severability. To the extent permitted by applicable law, any provision of this Guaranty which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof, and any such prohibition or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such provision in any other jurisdiction.
 
17.  Amendments, Waivers.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Laurus may assign, or grant participations to, one or more banks, financial institutions or other entities all or any part of any of the Obligations. In each such event, Laurus, its Affiliates and each and every immediate and successive purchaser, assignee, transferee or holder of all or any part of the Obligations shall have the right to enforce this Guaranty, by legal action or otherwise, for its own benefit as fully as if such purchaser, assignee, transferee or holder were herein by name specifically given such right. Laurus shall have an unimpaired right to enforce this Guaranty for its benefit with respect to that portion of the Obligations which Laurus has not disposed of, sold, assigned, or otherwise transferred.
 
20.  Joinder. It is understood and agreed that any person or entity that desires to become a Guarantor hereunder, or is required to execute a counterpart of this Guaranty after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements of any Document, shall become a Guarantor hereunder by (x) executing a Joinder Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Laurus, (y) delivering supplements to such exhibits and annexes to such Documents as Laurus shall reasonably request and (z) taking all actions as specified in this Guaranty as would have been taken by such such Guarantor had it been an original party to this Guaranty, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to Laurus and with all documents and actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of Laurus.

23.  Limitation of Obligations under this Guaranty. Each Guarantor and Laurus (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby confirms that it is its intention that this Guaranty not constitute a fraudulent transfer or conveyance for purposes of the Bankruptcy Code, the Uniform Fraudulent Conveyance Act of any similar Federal or state law. To effectuate the foregoing intention, each Guarantor and Laurus (by its acceptance of the benefits of this Guaranty) hereby irrevocably agrees that the Obligations guaranteed by such Guarantor shall be limited to such amount as will, after giving effect to such maximum amount and all other (contingent or otherwise) liabilities of such Guarantor that are relevant under such laws and after giving effect to any rights to contribution pursuant to any agreement providing for an equitable contribution among such Guarantor and the other Guarantors (including this Guaranty), result in the Obligations of such Guarantor under this Guaranty in respect of such maximum amount not constituting a fraudulent transfer or conveyance.

(the “Pledgee”), Modtech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the “Company”), and each of the other undersigned parties (other than the Pledgee) (the Company and each such other undersigned party, a “Pledgor” and collectively, the “Pledgors”).
 
BACKGROUND
 
The Company has entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of the date hereof (as amended, modified, restated or supplemented from time to time, the “Securities Purchase Agreement”) pursuant to which the Pledgee provides or will provide certain financial accommodations to the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company.
 
In order to induce the Pledgee to provide or continue to provide the financial accommodations described in the Securities Purchase Agreement, each Pledgor has agreed to pledge and grant a security interest in the collateral described herein to the Pledgee on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and for other good and valuable consideration the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as follows:
 
1.  Defined Terms. All capitalized terms used herein which are not defined shall have the meanings given to them in the Securities Purchase Agreement.
 
2.  Pledge and Grant of Security Interest. To secure the full and punctual payment and performance of (the following clauses (a) and (b), collectively, the “Obligations”) (a) the obligations under the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements referred to in the Securities Purchase Agreement (the Securities Purchase Agreement and the Related Agreements, as each may be amended, restated, modified and/or supplemented from time to time, collectively, the “Documents”) and (b) all other obligations and liabilities of each Pledgor to the Pledgee whether now existing or hereafter arising, direct or indirect, liquidated or unliquidated, absolute or contingent, due or not due and whether under, pursuant to or evidenced by a note, agreement, guaranty, instrument or otherwise (in each case, irrespective of the genuineness, validity, regularity or enforceability of such Obligations, or of any instrument evidencing any of the Obligations or of any collateral therefor or of the existence or extent of such collateral, and irrespective of the allowability, allowance or disallowance of any or all of such in any case commenced by or against any Pledgor under Title 11, United States Code, including, without limitation, obligations of each Pledgor for post-petition interest, fees, costs and charges that would have accrued or been added to the Obligations but for the commencement of such case), each Pledgor hereby pledges, assigns, hypothecates, transfers and grants a security interest to Pledgee in all of the following (the “Collateral”):
 
(a)  the shares of stock set forth on Schedule A annexed hereto and expressly made a part hereof (together with any additional shares of stock or other equity interests acquired by any Pledgor, the “Pledged Stock”), the certificates representing the Pledged Stock and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all of the Pledged Stock;

(c)  all options and rights, whether as an addition to, in substitution of or in exchange for any shares of any Pledged Stock and all dividends, cash, instruments and other property or proceeds from time to time received, receivable or otherwise distributed in respect of or in exchange for any or all such options and rights.
 
3.  Delivery of Collateral. All certificates representing or evidencing the Pledged Stock shall be delivered to and held by or on behalf of Pledgee pursuant hereto and shall be accompanied by duly executed instruments of transfer or assignments in blank, all in form and substance satisfactory to Pledgee. Each Pledgor hereby authorizes the Issuer upon demand by the Pledgee to deliver any certificates, instruments or other distributions issued in connection with the Collateral directly to the Pledgee, in each case to be held by the Pledgee, subject to the terms hereof. Upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default (as defined below), the Pledgee shall have the right, during such time in its discretion and without notice to the Pledgor, to transfer to or to register in the name of the Pledgee or any of its nominees any or all of the Pledged Stock.

(l)  Other than as set forth on Schedule A hereto, the Pledged Stock constitutes one hundred percent (100%) of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of each Issuer.
 
5.  Covenants. Each Pledgor jointly and severally covenants that, until the Obligations shall be indefeasibly satisfied in full and each Document and each agreement and instrument entered into in connection therewith is irrevocably terminated:
 
(a)  No Pledgor will sell, assign, transfer, convey, or otherwise dispose of its rights in or to the Collateral or any interest therein; nor will any Pledgor create, incur or permit to exist any Lien whatsoever with respect to any of the Collateral or the proceeds thereof other than that created hereby.
 
(b)  Each Pledgor will, at its expense, defend Pledgee’s right, title and security interest in and to the Collateral against the claims of any other party.
 
(c)  Each Pledgor shall at any time, and from time to time, upon the written request of Pledgee, execute and deliver such further documents and do such further acts and things as Pledgee may reasonably request in order to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement including, but without limitation, delivering to Pledgee, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, irrevocable proxies in respect of the Collateral in form satisfactory to Pledgee. Until receipt thereof, upon an Event of Default that has occurred and is continuing beyond any applicable grace period, this Agreement shall constitute Pledgor’s proxy to Pledgee or its nominee to vote all shares of Collateral then registered in each Pledgor’s name.

No Pledgor shall be permitted to exercise or refrain from exercising any voting rights or other powers if, in the reasonable judgment of the Pledgee, such action would have a material adverse effect on the value of the Collateral or any part thereof; and, provided, further, that each Pledgor shall give at least five (5) days’ written notice of the manner in which such Pledgor intends to exercise, or the reasons for refraining from exercising, any voting rights or other powers other than with respect to any election of directors and voting with respect to any incidental matters. Following the occurrence of an Event of Default, all dividends and all other distributions in respect of any of the Collateral, shall be delivered to the Pledgee to hold as Collateral and shall, if received by any Pledgor, be received in trust for the benefit of the Pledgee, be segregated from the other property or funds of any other Pledgor, and be forthwith delivered to the Pledgee as Collateral in the same form as so received (with any necessary endorsement).
 
7.  Event of Default. An “Event of Default” under this Agreement shall occur upon the happening of any of the following events:

(c)  Any portion of the Collateral is subjected to a levy of execution, attachment, distraint or other judicial process or any portion of the Collateral is the subject of a claim (other than by the Pledgee) of a Lien or other right or interest in or to the Collateral and such levy or claim shall not be cured, disputed or stayed within a period of forty (40) business days after the occurrence thereof; or
 
(d)  Any Pledgor shall (i) apply for, consent to, or suffer to exist the appointment of, or the taking of possession by, a receiver, custodian, trustee, liquidator or other fiduciary of itself or of all or a substantial part of its property, (ii) make a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) commence a voluntary case under any state or federal bankruptcy laws (as now or hereafter in effect), (iv) be adjudicated a bankrupt or insolvent, (v) file a petition seeking to take advantage of any other law providing for the relief of debtors, (vi) acquiesce to, or fail to have dismissed, within thirty (30) days, any petition filed against it in any involuntary case under such bankruptcy laws, or (vii) take any action for the purpose of effecting any of the foregoing.
 
8.  Remedies. In case an Event of Default shall have occurred and is continuing, the Pledgee may:
 
(a)  Transfer any or all of the Collateral into its name, or into the name of its nominee or nominees;
 
(b)  Exercise all corporate rights with respect to the Collateral including, without limitation, all rights of conversion, exchange, subscription or any other rights, privileges or options pertaining to any shares of the Collateral as if it were the absolute owner thereof, including, but without limitation, the right to exchange, at its discretion, any or all of the Collateral upon the merger, consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or other readjustment of the Issuer thereof, or upon the exercise by the Issuer of any right, privilege or option pertaining to any of the Collateral, and, in connection therewith, to deposit and deliver any and all of the Collateral with any committee, depository, transfer agent, registrar or other designated agent upon such terms and conditions as it may determine, all without liability except to account for property actually received by it; and
 
(c)  Subject to any requirement of applicable law, sell, assign and deliver the whole or, from time to time, any part of the Collateral at the time held by the Pledgee, at any private sale or at public auction, with or without demand, advertisement or notice of the time or place of sale or adjournment thereof or otherwise (all of which are hereby waived, except such notice as is required by applicable law and cannot be waived), for cash or credit or for other property for immediate or future delivery, and for such price or prices and on such terms as the Pledgee in its sole discretion may determine, or as may be required by applicable law.
 
Each Pledgor hereby waives and releases any and all right or equity of redemption, whether before or after sale hereunder. At any such sale, unless prohibited by applicable law, the Pledgee may bid for and purchase the whole or any part of the Collateral so sold free from any such right or equity of redemption. All moneys received by the Pledgee hereunder, whether upon sale of the Collateral or any part thereof or otherwise, shall be held by the Pledgee and applied by it as provided in Section 10 hereof. No failure or delay on the part of the Pledgee in exercising any rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver of any such rights nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such rights preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other rights hereunder. The Pledgee shall have no duty as to the collection or protection of the Collateral or any income thereon nor any duty as to preservation of any rights pertaining thereto, except to apply the funds in accordance with the requirements of Section 10 hereof. The Pledgee may exercise its rights with respect to property held hereunder without resort to other security for or sources of reimbursement for the Obligations. In addition to the foregoing, Pledgee shall have all of the rights, remedies and privileges of a secured party under the Uniform Commercial Code of New York (the “UCC”) regardless of the jurisdiction in which enforcement hereof is sought.
 
9.  Private Sale. Each Pledgor recognizes that the Pledgee may be unable to effect (or to do so only after delay which would adversely affect the value that might be realized from the Collateral) a public sale of all or part of the Collateral by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales to a restricted group of purchasers who will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such Collateral for their own account, for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. Each Pledgor agrees that any such private sale may be at prices and on terms less favorable to the seller than if sold at public sales and that such private sales shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. Each Pledgor agrees that the Pledgee has no obligation to delay sale of any Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the Issuer to register the Collateral for public sale under the Securities Act.
 
10.  Proceeds of Sale. The proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale of the Collateral shall be applied by the Pledgee as follows:
 
(a)  First, to the payment of all costs, reasonable expenses and charges of the Pledgee and to the reimbursement of the Pledgee for the prior payment of such costs, reasonable expenses and charges incurred in connection with the care and safekeeping of the Collateral (including, without limitation, the reasonable expenses of any sale or any other disposition of any of the Collateral), attorneys’ fees and reasonable expenses, court costs, any other fees or expenses incurred or expenditures or advances made by Pledgee in the protection, enforcement or exercise of its rights, powers or remedies hereunder;
 
(b)  Second, to the payment of the Obligations, in whole or in part, in such order as the Pledgee may elect, whether or not such Obligations is then due;
 
(c)  Third, to such persons, firms, corporations or other entities as required by applicable law including, without limitation, Section 9-615(a)(3) of the UCC; and
 
(d)  Fourth, to the extent of any surplus to the Pledgors or as a court of competent jurisdiction may direct.
 
In the event that the proceeds of any collection, recovery, receipt, appropriation, realization or sale are insufficient to satisfy the Obligations, each Pledgor shall be jointly and severally liable for the deficiency plus the costs and fees of any attorneys employed by Pledgee to collect such deficiency.
 
11.  Waiver of Marshaling. Each Pledgor hereby waives any right to compel any marshaling of any of the Collateral.
 
12.  No Waiver. Any and all of the Pledgee’s rights with respect to the Encumbrances (as defined in the Master Security Agreement) granted under this Agreement shall continue unimpaired, and Pledgor shall be and remain obligated in accordance with the terms hereof, notwithstanding (a) the bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization of any Pledgor, (b) the release or substitution of any item of the Collateral at any time, or of any rights or interests therein, provided that if Pledgee shall release its Encumbrance on any Collateral then Pledgee’s rights with respect to such Encumbrance shall not continue or (c) any delay, extension of time, renewal, compromise or other indulgence granted by the Pledgee in reference to any of the Obligations. Each Pledgor hereby waives all notice of any such delay, extension, release, substitution, renewal, compromise or other indulgence, and hereby consents to be bound hereby as fully and effectively as if such Pledgor had expressly agreed thereto in advance. No delay or extension of time by the Pledgee in exercising any power of sale, option or other right or remedy hereunder, and no failure by the Pledgee to give notice or make demand, shall constitute a waiver thereof, or limit, impair or prejudice the Pledgee’s right to take any action against any Pledgor or to exercise any other power of sale, option or any other right or remedy.
 
13.  Expenses. The Collateral shall secure, and each Pledgor shall pay to Pledgee on demand, from time to time, all reasonable costs and expenses, (including but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs, taxes, and all transfer, recording, filing and other charges) of, or incidental to, the custody, care, transfer, administration of the Collateral or any other collateral, or in any way relating to the enforcement, protection or preservation of the rights or remedies of the Pledgee under this Agreement or with respect to any of the Obligations.
 
14.  The Pledgee Appointed Attorney-In-Fact and Performance by the Pledgee. Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, each Pledgor hereby irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Pledgee as such Pledgor’s true and lawful attorney-in-fact, with full power of substitution, to execute, acknowledge and deliver any instruments and to do in such Pledgor’s name, place and stead, all such acts, things and deeds for and on behalf of and in the name of such Pledgor, which such Pledgor could or might do or which the Pledgee may deem necessary, desirable or convenient to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement, including, without limitation, to execute such instruments of assignment or transfer or orders and to register, convey or otherwise transfer title to the Collateral into the Pledgee’s name. Each Pledgor hereby ratifies and confirms all that said attorney-in-fact may so do and hereby declares this power of attorney to be coupled with an interest and irrevocable. If any Pledgor fails to perform any agreement herein contained, the Pledgee may itself perform or cause performance thereof, and any costs and expenses of the Pledgee incurred in connection therewith shall be paid by the Pledgors as provided in Section 10 hereof.
 
15.  WAIVERS. THE PARTIES HERETO DESIRES THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS. THEREFORE, TO ACHIEVE THE BEST COMBINATION OF THE BENEFITS OF THE JUDICIAL SYSTEM AND OF ARBITRATION, THE PARTIES HERETO WAIVE ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, SUIT, OR PROCEEDING BROUGHT TO RESOLVE ANY DISPUTE, WHETHER ARISING IN CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHERWISE BETWEEN LAURUS, AND/OR ANY COMPANY ARISING OUT OF, CONNECTED WITH, RELATED OR INCIDENTAL TO THE RELATIONSHIP ESTABLISHED BETWEEN THEN IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, ANY OTHER DOCUMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS RELATED HERETO OR THERETO.
 
16.  Recapture. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if the Pledgee receives any payment or payments on account of the Obligations, which payment or payments or any part thereof are subsequently invalidated, declared to be fraudulent or preferential, set aside and/or required to be repaid to a trustee, receiver, or any other party under the United States Bankruptcy Code, as amended, or any other federal or state bankruptcy, reorganization, moratorium or insolvency law relating to or affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally, common law or equitable doctrine, then to the extent of any sum not finally retained by the Pledgee, each Pledgor’s obligations to the Pledgee shall be reinstated and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect (or be reinstated) until payment shall have been made to Pledgee, which payment shall be due on demand.
 
17.  Captions. All captions in this Agreement are included herein for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute part of this Agreement for any other purpose.

(b)  No waiver of any term or condition of this Agreement, whether by delay, omission or otherwise, shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party sought to be charged, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.

(l) On or prior to the Closing Date (or such later date as may be agreed by Laurus in writing), each Assignor will (x) irrevocably direct all of its present and future Account Debtors (as defined below) and other persons or entities obligated to make payments constituting Collateral to make such payments directly to the lockboxes maintained by such Assignor (the “Lockboxes”) with Bank of America, N.A. or such other financial institution accepted by Laurus in writing as may be selected by the Company (the “Lockbox Bank”) (each such direction pursuant to this clause (x), a “Direction Notice”) and (y) provide Laurus with copies of each Direction Notice, each of which shall be agreed to and acknowledged by the respective Account Debtor. The Lockbox Bank shall agree to deposit the proceeds of such payments immediately upon receipt thereof in that certain deposit account maintained at the Lockbox Bank and evidenced by the account name of Modtech Holdings, Inc. and the account number of 14962-02541, or such other deposit account accepted by Laurus in writing (the “Lockbox Deposit Account”). On or prior to the Closing Date, the Company shall and shall cause the Lockbox Bank to enter into all such documentation acceptable to Laurus pursuant to which, among other things, the Lockbox Bank agrees to, following notification by Laurus (which notification Laurus shall only give following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default), comply only with the instructions or other directions of Laurus concerning the Lockbox and the Lockbox Deposit Account. All of each Assignor’s invoices, account statements and other written or oral communications directing, instructing, demanding or requesting payment of any Account (as hereinafter defined) of any such Assignor or any other amount constituting Collateral shall conspicuously direct that all payments be made to the Lockbox or such other address as Laurus may direct in writing. If, notwithstanding the instructions to Account Debtors, any Assignor receives any payments, such Assignor shall immediately remit such payments to the Lockbox Deposit Account in their original form with all necessary endorsements. Until so remitted, the Assignors shall hold all such payments in trust for and as the property of Laurus and shall not commingle such payments with any of its other funds or property. For the purpose of this Master Security Agreement, (x) “Accounts” shall mean all “accounts”, as such term is defined in the UCC as in effect in the State of New York on the date hereof, now owned or hereafter acquired by any Assignor and (y) “Account Debtor” shall mean any person or entity who is or may be obligated with respect to, or on account of, an Account.
 
4. The occurrence of any of the following events or conditions shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Master Security Agreement:
 
(a) any covenant or any other term or condition of this Master Security Agreement is breached in any material respect and such breach, to the extent subject to cure, shall continue without remedy for a period of twenty (20) days after the occurrence thereof;
 
(b) any representation or warranty, or statement made or furnished to Laurus under this Master Security Agreement by any Assignor or on any Assignor’s behalf should prove to any time be false or misleading in any material respect on the date as of which made or deemed made;
 
5

 
(c) the loss, theft, substantial damage, destruction, sale or encumbrance to or of any of the Collateral (except as may be expressly permitted by Section 3(e) and Section 3(g) or the making of any levy, seizure or attachment thereof or thereon except to the extent:
 
(i) such loss is covered by insurance proceeds which are used to replace the item or repay Laurus; or
 
(ii) said levy, seizure or attachment does not secure indebtedness in excess of $200,000 in the aggregate for all Assignors and such levy, seizure or attachment has been vacated, discharged, stayed or bonded within forty (40) days of the creation or the assertion thereof;
 
(d) an Event of Default shall have occurred under and as defined in any Document.
 
5. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Laurus may declare all Obligations immediately due and payable and Laurus shall have the remedies of a secured party provided in the UCC as in effect in the State of New York, this Agreement and other applicable law. Upon the occurrence of any Event of Default and at any time thereafter, Laurus will have the right to take possession of the Collateral and to maintain such possession on any Assignor’s premises or to remove the Collateral or any part thereof to such other premises as Laurus may desire. Upon Laurus’ request, each Assignor shall assemble or cause the Collateral to be assembled and make it available to Laurus at a place designated by Laurus. If any notification of intended disposition of any Collateral is required by law, such notification, if mailed, shall be deemed properly and reasonably given if mailed at least ten (10) days before such disposition, postage prepaid, addressed to the applicable Assignor either at such Assignor’s address shown herein or at any address appearing on Laurus’ records for such Assignor. Any proceeds of any disposition of any of the Collateral shall be applied by Laurus to the payment of all expenses in connection with the sale of the Collateral, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and other legal expenses and disbursements and the reasonable expenses of retaking, holding, preparing for sale, selling, and the like, and any balance of such proceeds may be applied by Laurus toward the payment of the Obligations in such order of application as Laurus may elect, and each Assignor shall be liable for any deficiency. For the avoidance of doubt, following the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default, Laurus shall have the immediate right to withdraw any and all monies contained in any deposit account in the name of any Assignor and controlled by Laurus and apply same to the repayment of the Obligations (in such order of application as Laurus may elect). The parties hereto each hereby agree that the exercise by any party hereto of any right granted to it or the exercise by any party hereto of any remedy available to it (including, without limitation, the issuance of a notice of redemption, a borrowing request and/or a notice of default), in each case, hereunder, under the Securities Purchase Agreement or under any other Related Agreement which has been publicly filed with the SEC shall not constitute confidential information and no party shall have any duty to the other party to maintain such information as confidential.
 
6. If any Assignor defaults in the performance or fulfillment of any of the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions or warranties on such Assignor’s part to be performed or fulfilled under or pursuant to this Master Security Agreement, Laurus may, at its option without waiving its right to enforce this Master Security Agreement according to its terms, immediately or at any time thereafter and without notice to any Assignor, perform or fulfill the same or cause the performance or fulfillment of the same for each Assignor’s joint and several account and at each Assignor’s joint and several cost and expense, and the cost and expense thereof (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be added to the Obligations and shall be payable on demand with interest thereon at the highest rate permitted by law, or, at Laurus’ option, debited by Laurus from any other deposit accounts in the name of any Assignor and controlled by Laurus.
 
6

 
7. Each Assignor appoints Laurus, any of Laurus’ officers, employees or any other person or entity whom Laurus may designate as such Assignor’s attorney, with power to execute such documents in each such Assignor’s behalf and to supply any omitted information and correct patent errors in any documents executed by any Assignor or on any Assignor’s behalf; to file financing statements against such Assignor covering the Collateral (and, in connection with the filing of any such financing statements, describe the Collateral as “all assets and all personal property, whether now owned and/or hereafter acquired” (or any substantially similar variation thereof)); to sign such Assignor’s name on public records; and to do all other things Laurus deem necessary to carry out this Master Security Agreement. Each Assignor hereby ratifies and approves all acts of the attorney and neither Laurus nor the attorney will be liable for any acts of commission or omission, nor for any error of judgment or mistake of fact or law other than gross negligence or willful misconduct (as determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final and non-appealable decision). This power being coupled with an interest, is irrevocable so long as any Obligations remains unpaid.
 
8. No delay or failure on Laurus’ part in exercising any right, privilege or option hereunder shall operate as a waiver of such or of any other right, privilege, remedy or option, and no waiver whatever shall be valid unless in writing, signed by Laurus and then only to the extent therein set forth, and no waiver by Laurus of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of the same default on a future occasion. Laurus’ books and records containing entries with respect to the Obligations shall be admissible in evidence in any action or proceeding, shall be binding upon each Assignor for the purpose of establishing the items therein set forth and shall constitute prima facie proof thereof. Laurus shall have the right to enforce any one or more of the remedies available to Laurus, successively, alternately or concurrently. Each Assignor agrees to join with Laurus in executing such documents or other instruments to the extent required by the UCC in form satisfactory to Laurus and in executing such other documents or instruments as may be required or deemed necessary by Laurus for purposes of affecting or continuing Laurus’ security interest in the Collateral.
 
9. The Assignors shall jointly and severally pay all of Laurus’ out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including reasonable fees and disbursements of in-house, or outside counsel and appraisers, in connection with the preparation, execution and delivery of the Documents, and of outside counsel and appraisers in connection with the prosecution or defense of any action, contest, dispute, suit or proceeding concerning any matter in any way arising out of, related to or connected with any Document. The Assignors shall also jointly and severally pay all of Laurus’ reasonable fees, charges, out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including fees and disbursements of counsel and appraisers, in connection with (a) the preparation, execution and delivery of any waiver, any amendment thereto or consent proposed or executed in connection with the transactions contemplated by the Documents, (b) Laurus’ obtaining performance of the Obligations under the Documents, including, but not limited to the enforcement or defense of Laurus’ security interests, assignments of rights and liens hereunder as valid perfected security interests, (c) any attempt to inspect, verify, protect, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of any Collateral, (d) not more than one time per year, any appraisal or re-appraisal of any property (real or personal) pledged to Laurus by any Assignor as Collateral for, or any other Person as security for, the Obligations hereunder (provided, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Assignors shall be obligated to pay the costs and expenses of any and all additional such appraisals and re-appraisals as are deemed necessary by Laurus in its reasonable discretion) and (e) any consultations in connection with any of the foregoing. The Assignors shall also jointly and severally pay Laurus’ customary bank charges for all bank services (including wire transfers) performed or caused to be performed by Laurus for any Assignor at any Assignor’s request or in connection with any Assignor’s loan account (if any) with Laurus. All such costs and expenses together with all filing, recording and search fees, taxes and interest payable by the Assignors to Laurus shall be payable on demand and shall be secured by the Collateral. If any tax by any nation or government, any state or other political subdivision thereof, and any agency, department or other entity exercising executive, legislative, judicial, regulatory or administrative functions of or pertaining to government (each, a “Governmental Authority”) is or may be imposed on or as a result of any transaction between any Assignor, on the one hand, and Laurus on the other hand, which Laurus is or may be required to withhold or pay (other than (x) any tax based on or measured by net income or otherwise in the nature of a net income tax, including without limitation any franchise tax or any similar tax based on capital, net worth or comparable basis measurement), the Assignors hereby jointly and severally indemnify and hold Laurus harmless in respect of such taxes, and the Assignors will repay to Laurus the amount of any such taxes which shall be charged to the Assignors’ account; and until the Assignors shall furnish Laurus with indemnity therefor (or supply Laurus with evidence satisfactory to it that due provision for the payment thereof has been made), Laurus may hold without interest any balance standing to each Assignor’s credit (if any) and Laurus shall retain its liens in any and all Collateral.

10. THIS MASTER SECURITY AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED AND ENFORCED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK APPLICABLE TO CONTRACTS MADE AND PERFORMED IN SUCH STATE, WITHOUT REGARD TO PRINCIPLES OF CONFLICTS OF LAWS. All of the rights, remedies, options, privileges and elections given to Laurus hereunder shall inure to the benefit of Laurus’ successors and assigns. The term “Laurus” as herein used shall include Laurus, any parent of Laurus’, any of Laurus’ subsidiaries and any co-subsidiaries of Laurus’ parent, whether now existing or hereafter created or acquired, and all of the terms, conditions, promises, covenants, provisions and warranties of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of each of the foregoing, and shall bind the representatives, successors and assigns of each Assignor.
 
11. Each Assignor hereby consents and agrees that the state of federal courts located in the County of New York, State of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and determine any claims or disputes between Assignor, on the one hand, and Laurus, on the other hand, pertaining to this Master Security Agreement or to any matter arising out of or related to this Master Security Agreement, provided, that Laurus and each Assignor acknowledges that any appeals from those courts may have to be heard by a court located outside of the County of New York, State of New York, and further provided, that nothing in this Master Security Agreement shall be deemed or operate to preclude Laurus from bringing suit or taking other legal action in any other jurisdiction to collect, the Obligations, to realize on the Collateral or any other security for the Obligations, or to enforce a judgment or other court order in favor of Laurus. Each Assignor expressly submits and consents in advance to such jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such court, and each Assignor hereby waives any objection which it may have based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or forum non conveniens. Each Assignor hereby waives personal service of the summons, complaint and other process issues in any such action or suit and agrees that service of such summons, complaint and other process may be made by registered or certified mail addressed to such assignor at the address set forth on the signature lines hereto and that service so made shall be deemed completed upon the earlier of such Assignor’s actual receipt thereof or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mails, proper postage prepaid.

The parties desire that their disputes be resolved by a judge applying such applicable laws. Therefore, to achieve the best combination of the benefits of the judicial system and of arbitration, the parties hereto waive all rights to trial by jury in any action, suite, or proceeding brought to resolve any dispute, whether arising in contract, tort, or otherwise between Laurus, and/or any Assignor arising out of, connected with, related or incidental to the relationship established between them in connection with this Master Security Agreement or the transactions related hereto.
 
12. It is understood and agreed that any person or entity that desires to become an Assignor hereunder, or is required to execute a counterpart of this Master Security Agreement after the date hereof pursuant to the requirements of any Document, shall become an Assignor hereunder by (x) executing a Joinder Agreement in form and substance satisfactory to Laurus, (y) delivering supplements to such exhibits and annexes to such Documents as Laurus shall reasonably request and (z) taking all actions as specified in this Master Security Agreement as would have been taken by such Assignor had it been an original party to this Master Security Agreement, in each case with all documents required above to be delivered to Laurus and with all documents and actions required above to be taken to the reasonable satisfaction of Laurus.

2. Registration.
 
(a) On or prior to the Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities for a selling stockholder resale offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415. The Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). The Company shall cause each Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the Effectiveness Date. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to keep each Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date which is the earlier date of when (i) all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold or (ii) all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold immediately without registration under the Securities Act and without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k), as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”).
 
(b) If: (i) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date; (ii) the Registration Statement is not declared effective by the Commission by the Effectiveness Date; (iii) after the Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the Commission, the Registration Statement ceases to be effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed thirty (30) days in the aggregate per year (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective) or more than twenty (20) consecutive calendar days; or (iv) the Common Stock is not listed or quoted, or is suspended from trading on any Trading Market for a period of three (3) consecutive Trading Days (provided the Company shall not have been able to cure such trading suspension within thirty (30) days of the notice thereof or list the Common Stock on another Trading Market); (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such thirty (30) day or twenty (20) consecutive day period (as the case may be) is exceeded, or for purposes of clause (v) the date on which such three (3) Trading Day period is exceeded, being referred to as “Event Date”), then until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Holder an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0% for each thirty (30) day period (prorated for partial periods) on a daily basis of the original principal amount of the Notes; provided that, the maximum aggregate amount of liquidated damages that may be charged to the Company pursuant to this Section 2(b) shall not exceed 10% of the initial principal amount of the Notes. While such Event continues, such liquidated damages shall be paid not less often than each thirty (30) days. Any unpaid liquidated damages as of the date when an Event has been cured by the Company shall be paid within three (3) days following the date on which such Event has been cured by the Company. At its option, the Company may pay up to fifty percent (50%) of the liquidated damages (the “Equity Damage Amount”) by delivering from time to time to the Holder, which such deliveries shall occur simultaneously with delivery to the Holder of the cash portion of the liquidated damage amounts as required by this Section 2(b), warrants (the “New Warrants”) substantially identical to the Warrants (except that the per share exercise price under the New Warrants shall be equal to the par value of the Common Stock) to purchase that number of shares of Common Stock whose aggregate Fair Market Value (as hereafter defined) equals the Equity Damage Amount. For purposes hereof, “Fair Market Value” shall mean the average of the closing price of the Common Stock for the ten (10) trading days immediately prior to issuance of the applicable New Warrants. The shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any New Warrants shall be included within the definition of Registrable Securities and shall be included within (I) the initial Registration Statement if the liquidated damages arise from an Event occurring prior to the date such initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC and (II) a new Registration Statement to be filed on or prior to the applicable Filing Date and declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date, in the event the liquidated damages arise from an Event occurring after the date the initial Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC.

(c) Within three (3) business days of the Effectiveness Date, the Company shall cause its counsel to issue a blanket opinion in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, to the transfer agent stating that the shares are subject to an effective registration statement and can be reissued free of restrictive legend upon notice of a sale by the Purchaser and confirmation by the Purchaser that it has complied with the prospectus delivery requirements, provided that the Company has not advised the transfer agent orally or in writing that the opinion has been withdrawn. Copies of the blanket opinion required by this Section 2(c) shall be delivered to the Purchaser within the time frame set forth above.
 
3. Registration Procedures. If and whenever the Company is required by the provisions hereof to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:
 
(a) prepare and file with the Commission a Registration Statement with respect to such Registrable Securities, respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the Commission, and use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become and remain effective for the Effectiveness Period with respect thereto, and promptly provide to the Purchaser copies of all filings and Commission letters of comment relating thereto;
 
(b) prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the Prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement and to keep such Registration Statement effective until the expiration of the Effectiveness Period applicable to such Registration Statement;
 
(c) furnish to the Purchaser such number of copies of the Registration Statement and the Prospectus included therein (including each preliminary Prospectus) as the Purchaser reasonably may request to facilitate the public sale or disposition of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement;
 
4

 
(d) use its best efforts to register or qualify the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions within the United States as the Purchaser may reasonably request, provided, however, that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required to qualify generally to transact business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where it is not so qualified or to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;
 
(e) list the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with any securities exchange on which the Common Stock of the Company is then listed;
 
(f) promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days following such occurrence) notify the Purchaser at any time when a Prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the Prospectus contained in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and
 
(g) make available for inspection by the Purchaser and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by the Purchaser, all publicly available, non-confidential financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all publicly available, non-confidential information reasonably requested by the attorney, accountant or agent of the Purchaser.
 
4. Registration Expenses. All expenses relating to the Company’s compliance with Sections 2 and 3 hereof, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel and independent public accountants for the Company, fees and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees) incurred in connection with complying with state securities or “blue sky” laws, fees of the NASD, transfer taxes, fees of transfer agents and registrars, fees of, and disbursements incurred by, one counsel for the Holders are called “Registration Expenses”. All selling commissions applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities, including any fees and disbursements of any special counsel to the Holders beyond those included in Registration Expenses, are called “Selling Expenses.” The Company shall only be responsible for all Registration Expenses.
 
5. Indemnification.
 
(a) In the event of a registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Purchaser, or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus (unless connected in the final sale prospectus) or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Purchaser, and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser or any such person in writing specifically for use in any such document.

(b) In the event of a registration of the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, and its officers, directors and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, against all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which the Company or such persons may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact which was furnished in writing by the Purchaser to the Company expressly for use in (and such information is contained in) the Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered under the Securities Act pursuant to this Agreement, any preliminary Prospectus or final Prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereof, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and will reimburse the Company and each such person for any reasonable legal or other expenses incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action, provided, however, that the Purchaser will be liable in any such case if and only to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in any such document. Notwithstanding the provisions of this paragraph, the Purchaser shall not be required to indemnify any person or entity in excess of the amount of the aggregate net proceeds received by the Purchaser in respect of Registrable Securities in connection with any such registration under the Securities Act.
 
(c) Promptly after receipt by a party entitled to claim indemnification hereunder (an “Indemnified Party”) of notice of the commencement of any action, such Indemnified Party shall, if a claim for indemnification in respect thereof is to be made against a party hereto obligated to indemnify such Indemnified Party (an “Indemnifying Party”), notify the Indemnifying Party in writing thereof, but the omission so to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party other than under this Section 5(c) and shall only relieve it from any liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) if and to the extent the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced by such omission. In case any such action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it shall wish, to assume and undertake the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party, and, after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election so to assume and undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section 5(c) for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof; if the Indemnified Party retains its own counsel, then the Indemnified Party shall pay all fees, costs and expenses of such counsel, provided, however, that, if the defendants in any such action include both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party and counsel for the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be reasonable defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party or if counsel for the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded that the interests of the Indemnified Party may reasonably be deemed to conflict with the interests of the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to select one separate counsel and to assume such legal defenses and otherwise to participate in the defense of such action, with the reasonable expenses and fees of such separate counsel and other expenses related to such participation to be reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party as incurred.

(d) In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in the event of joint liability under the Securities Act in any case in which either (i) the Purchaser, or any officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser, makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 5 but it is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that this Section 5 provides for indemnification in such case, or (ii) contribution under the Securities Act may be required on the part of the Purchaser or such officer, director or controlling person of the Purchaser in circumstances for which indemnification is provided under this Section 5; then, and in each such case, the Company and the Purchaser will contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (after contribution from others) in such proportion so that the Purchaser is responsible only for the portion represented by the percentage that the public offering price of its securities offered by the Registration Statement bears to the public offering price of all securities offered by such Registration Statement, provided, however, that, in any such case, (A) the Purchaser will not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the public offering price of all such securities offered by it pursuant to such Registration Statement; and (B) no person or entity guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 10(f) of the Act) will be entitled to contribution from any person or entity who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.
 
6. Representations and Warranties.
 
(a) The Common Stock is registered pursuant to Section 12(b) or 12(g) of the Exchange Act and, except with respect to certain matters which the Company has disclosed to the Purchaser on Schedule 4.21 to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has filed all proxy statements, reports, schedules, forms, statements and other documents required to be filed by it under the Exchange Act. The Company has filed (i) its Annual Report on Form 10-K for its fiscal year ended December 31, 2005 and (ii) its Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2006, and June 30, 2006 (collectively, the “SEC Reports”). Each SEC Report was, at the time of its filing, in substantial compliance with the requirements of its respective form and none of the SEC Reports, nor the financial statements (and the notes thereto) included in the SEC Reports, as of their respective filing dates, contained any untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The financial statements of the Company included in the SEC Reports comply as to form in all material respects with applicable accounting requirements and the published rules and regulations of the Commission or other applicable rules and regulations with respect thereto. Such financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) applied on a consistent basis during the periods involved (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes, customary year-end adjustments, or may be condensed) and fairly present in all material respects the financial condition, the results of operations and the cash flows of the Company and its subsidiaries, on a consolidated basis, as of, and for, the periods presented in each such SEC Report.

(b) The Common Stock is listed or quoted, as applicable, for trading on the NASDAQ Global Market and satisfies all requirements for the continuation of such listing or quotation, as applicable, and the Company shall do all things necessary for the continuation of such listing or quotation, as applicable. The Company has not received any notice that its Common Stock will be delisted from or no longer be quoted on, as applicable, the NASDAQ Global Market (except for prior notices which have been fully remedied) or that the Common Stock does not meet all requirements for the continuation of such listing or quotation, as applicable.
 
(c) Neither the Company, nor any of its affiliates, nor any person acting on its or their behalf, has directly or indirectly made any offers or sales of any security or solicited any offers to buy any security under circumstances that would cause the offering of the Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement to be integrated with prior offerings by the Company for purposes of the Securities Act which would prevent the Company from selling the Common Stock pursuant to Rule 506 under the Securities Act, or any applicable exchange-related stockholder approval provisions, nor will the Company or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries take any action or steps that would cause the offering of the Securities to be integrated with other offerings.
 
(d) The Warrants, the Convertible Note and the shares of Common Stock that the Purchaser may acquire pursuant to any Warrants and the Convertible Note are all restricted securities under the Securities Act as of the date of this Agreement. The Company will not issue any stop transfer order or other order impeding the sale and delivery of any of the Registrable Securities at such time as such Registrable Securities are registered for public sale or it has received an opinion of counsel that an exemption from registration is available, except as required by federal or state securities laws.
 
(e) The Company understands the nature of the Registrable Securities issuable upon the conversion of the Convertible Note the exercise of any Warrants and recognizes that the issuance of such Registrable Securities may have a potential dilutive effect. The Company specifically acknowledges that its obligation to issue the Registrable Securities is binding upon the Company and enforceable regardless of the dilution such issuance may have on the ownership interests of other shareholders of the Company.
 
8

 
(f) Except for agreements made in the ordinary course of business, there is no agreement that has not been filed with the Commission as an exhibit to a registration statement or to a form required to be filed by the Company under the Exchange Act, the breach of which could reasonably be expected to have a material and adverse effect on the Company and its subsidiaries, or would prohibit or otherwise interfere with the ability of the Company to enter into and perform any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.
 
(g) The Company will at all times have authorized and reserved a sufficient number of shares of Common Stock for the full conversion of the Convertible Note and exercise of the Warrants.
 
(h) The Company shall provide written notice to each Holder of (i) the occurrence of each Discontinuation Event (as defined below) and (ii) the declaration of effectiveness by the SEC of each Registration Statement required to be filed hereunder, in each case within one (1) business day of the date of each such occurrence and/or declaration.
 
7. Miscellaneous.
 
(a) Remedies. In the event of a breach by the Company or by a Holder, of any of their respective obligations under this Agreement, each Holder or the Company, as the case may be, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law and under this Agreement, including recovery of damages, will be entitled to specific performance of its rights under this Agreement.
 
(b) No Piggyback on Registrations. Except as and to the extent set forth on Schedule 7(b) hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statement other than the Registrable Securities, and the Company shall not after the date hereof enter into any agreement providing any such right for inclusion of shares in the Registration Statement to any of its security holders. Except as and to the extent specified in Schedule 7(b) hereto, the Company has not previously entered into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any person or entity that have not been fully satisfied.
 
(c) Compliance. Each Holder covenants and agrees that it will comply with the prospectus delivery requirements of the Securities Act as applicable to it in connection with sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to each Registration Statement.
 
(d) Discontinued Disposition.

The Company may provide appropriate stop orders to enforce the provisions of this paragraph. For purposes of this Agreement, a “Discontinuation Event” shall mean (i) when the Commission notifies the Company whether there will be a “review” of such Registration Statement and whenever the Commission comments in writing on such Registration Statement (the Company shall provide true and complete copies thereof and all written responses thereto to each of the Holders); (ii) any request by the Commission or any other Federal or state governmental authority for amendments or supplements to such Registration Statement or Prospectus or for additional information; (iii) the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of such Registration Statement covering any or all of the Registrable Securities or the initiation of any Proceedings for that purpose; (iv) the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the qualification or exemption from qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction, or the initiation or threatening of any Proceeding for such purpose; and/or (v) the occurrence of any event or passage of time that makes the financial statements included in such Registration Statement ineligible for inclusion therein or any statement made in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or any document incorporated or deemed to be incorporated therein by reference untrue in any material respect or that requires any revisions to such Registration Statement, Prospectus or other documents so that, in the case of such Registration Statement or Prospectus, as the case may be, it will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading.

(e) Piggy-Back Registrations. If at any time after the date hereof there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered hereunder and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall send to each Holder written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered, to the extent the Company may do so without violating registration rights of others which exist as of the date of this Agreement, subject to customary underwriter cutbacks applicable to all holders of registration rights and subject to obtaining any required consent of any selling stockholder(s) to such inclusion under such registration statement.

In the event of any such withholding, Seller’s obligation to deliver title hereunder and to otherwise perform all of its obligations hereunder shall not be excused or otherwise affected. Purchaser shall remit such withheld amount to and file the required form with the Internal Revenue Service, and in the event of any claimed over-withholding, Seller shall be limited solely to an action against the Internal Revenue Service for refund (under Regulation Section 1.1464-1(a)), and hereby waives any right of action against Purchaser on account of such withholding.

DEFAULTS AND REMEDIES
 
14.1  Seller’s Remedies on Purchaser’s Default. In the event that Purchaser shall fail to consummate the purchase of the Project on or before the Closing Date for any reason other than termination hereof pursuant to a right granted to Purchaser to do so, failure of any condition set forth herein, or breach by Seller of its representations, warranties, covenants or agreements hereunder, then, as its sole and exclusive remedy hereunder, Seller may terminate this Agreement and receive the Earnest Money from Title Company whereupon neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder except as set forth herein. Seller agrees to accept such sum as its total liquidated damages and relief and as its sole remedy, at law or in equity, for Purchaser’s default hereunder, the parties having agreed that in the event of a default hereunder by Purchaser, the actual harm to Seller will be extremely difficult and impracticable to determine, and Seller and Purchaser agree that said liquidated damages are not intended as a penalty.
 
14.2  Purchaser’s Remedies on Seller’s Default. In the event Seller shall fail or refuse to fully and timely perform any of its obligations hereunder, or shall fail or refuse to consummate the sale of the Project for any reason not set forth in this Agreement, except where caused solely by Purchaser’s default, then as its sole and exclusive remedies hereunder, Purchaser may: (i) terminate this Agreement and recover from the Title Company the Earnest Money and recover from Seller all of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not exceed $20,000) incurred as a result of Purchaser’s due diligence and preparation for closing, and thereafter neither party shall have any further obligations hereunder except as set forth herein, or (ii) enforce specific performance of this Agreement, in Purchaser’s sole discretion (and should Purchaser be successful in enforcing specific performance, Seller shall be responsible for all of Purchaser’s reasonable court costs, litigation expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith, but should Purchaser be unsuccessful in enforcing any remedy against Seller, Purchaser shall be responsible for all of Seller’s reasonable court costs, litigation expenses and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred in connection therewith). In the event Seller fails or refuses to perform any covenant or agreement herein undertaken or fails or refuses to furnish any item or thing or permit any inspection, then Purchaser may, at its election, either waive such compliance or performance by Seller and proceed to Closing, or extend the Closing Date for such period of time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) deemed appropriate by Purchaser in which event the substituted Closing Date shall thereafter be and constitute the Closing Date hereunder.
 
14.3  Limitation on Damages. Notwithstanding any other provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, but without in any way limiting any party’s indemnification obligations hereunder, no party hereto shall be liable to any other party hereto for any incidental, consequential, special, exemplary or punitive damages arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, regardless of whether the breaching or defaulting party knew or should have known of the possibility of such damages, and without regard to the nature of the claim or the underlying theory or cause of action, and each party hereby waives its right to all such remedies and damages.

ARTICLE 15
SPECIAL PROVISIONS
 
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, satisfaction of the provisions of this Article 15 shall be a further express condition precedent to the obligations of Purchaser to close the transaction contemplated hereby.

15.1  Intentionally deleted.
 
15.2  Lease. During the pendency of this Agreement, Seller and Purchaser shall negotiate in good faith to agree on the final form of the Lease incorporating those terms specifically set forth in the letter of intent dated August 11, 2006, and upon such other terms and in a form mutually agreeable to both parties. At Closing, Seller and Purchaser shall execute and enter into the Lease. The Lease shall grant Seller a license for use of the Incidental Rights and Plans and the Property Agreements, which license shall be coterminous with the Lease.
 
15.3  Due Diligence Materials. To the extent available, Seller shall deliver all due diligence materials as reasonably requested by Purchaser within ten (10) business days.
 
ARTICLE 16
REVIEW PERIOD
 
For the purposes of this Agreement, the term “Review Period” shall mean the period of time commencing on the Effective Date, and expiring at 11:59 P.M (Austin, Texas time) on the sixtieth (60th) day thereafter. During the Review Period, Purchaser may review the Survey, the Title Commitment, the UCC Report, and all of the documents, items, information and materials reasonably requested by Purchaser and delivered by Seller, and, subject to the other provisions of this Agreement, including Article 7, may conduct soil tests, structural tests, and such other engineering and economic feasibility tests and studies and such other inspections or investigations with respect to the Project, as Purchaser may desire or deem appropriate. Seller agrees to cooperate with and assist Purchaser in the physical inspection of the Project and the inspection of such documents, items, information and materials, provided that such inspection shall be conducted during normal business hours or at such other time as is reasonable and necessary to conduct the inspection, and shall not unreasonably interfere with the normal business of Seller. If, within the Review Period, Purchaser shall, for any reason, in Purchaser’s sole and absolute discretion, be dissatisfied with any aspect of the Project, then Purchaser shall have the absolute and unfettered right to terminate this Agreement by sending written notice of such termination to Seller at any time prior to the expiration of the Review Period. In the event that Purchaser terminates this Agreement, as provided above, the Title Company shall return the Earnest Money to Purchaser and Purchaser shall be entitled to recover from Seller all of Purchaser’s out-of-pocket expenses (which shall not exceed $20,000) incurred as a result of Purchaser’s due diligence and preparation for closing and the parties hereto shall have no further obligations under this Agreement, except as may be otherwise provided herein.
 
16

 
ARTICLE 17
MISCELLANEOUS
 
17.1  Cooperation; Further Documents.
 
(1)  Each of the parties hereto agrees to use its reasonable efforts to take or cause to be taken all action, and to do or cause to be done all things necessary, proper or advisable under applicable Governmental Requirements, regulations or otherwise, to consummate and to make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including, without limitation, the timely performance of all actions and things contemplated by this Agreement to be taken or done by each of the parties hereto.

(2)   Each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other party in such other party’s discharge of the obligations hereunder, which shall include making reasonably available to the other party (but if after the Closing Date, at the other party’s direct out-of-pocket expense), such of its personnel as have relevant information with respect thereto.

(3)   Seller shall from time to time, at the reasonable request of Purchaser, execute and deliver such instruments of transfer, conveyance and assignment in addition to those delivered contemporaneously herewith and at the Closing, and take such other action as Purchaser may reasonably require to more effectively transfer, convey and assign to and vest in Purchaser, and to put Purchaser in possession of, any assets being transferred, conveyed, assigned and delivered by Seller pursuant to this Agreement.

17.2  No Partnership. This Agreement is a contract of purchase and sale only and is not intended and shall not be construed to create any association, trust, partnership, joint venture, agency or any other relationship between Purchaser and Seller.
 
17.3  Savings Clause. Should any provision of this Agreement be held unenforceable or invalid under the laws of the United States of America or the states in which the Project is located, or under any other applicable laws of any other jurisdiction, then the parties hereto agree that such provision shall be deemed modified for purposes of performance of this Agreement in such jurisdiction to the extent necessary to render it lawful and enforceable, or if such a modification is not possible without materially altering the intention of the parties hereto, then such provision shall be severed herefrom for purposes of performance of this Agreement in such jurisdiction. The validity of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected by any such modification or severance, except that if any severance materially alters the intentions of the parties hereto as expressed herein (a modification being permitted only if there is no material alteration), then the parties hereto shall use commercially reasonable efforts to agree to appropriate equitable amendments to this Agreement in light of such severance.
 
17.4  Survival. Except as may otherwise be expressly set forth herein, each and every indemnification obligation, warranty, representation, covenant and agreement of Seller and Purchaser contained herein shall survive the execution, delivery and Closing (if any) of this Agreement for a period of one (1) year from and after the Closing Date or, if no Closing shall occur, for a period of two (2) years from and after the date of termination of this Agreement, and shall not be merged into the Deed (if any) or any other document executed and delivered prior to or at the Closing, but shall expressly survive and be binding thereafter on Seller and Purchaser, respectively. No inspections or examinations of the Project or the books, records, or information relative thereto by Purchaser shall diminish or otherwise affect Seller’s indemnification obligations, representations, warranties, covenants and agreements relative thereto, and Purchaser may continue to rely thereon, except that if Purchaser has actual knowledge that a representation or warranty of Seller is false prior to Closing, but nevertheless agrees to close the transaction contemplated hereby, then Purchaser may not later seek recovery from Seller on such false representation or warranty.
 
17

 
17.5  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida. 
 
17.6  Cumulative Rights. Except as may otherwise be set forth herein, all rights, powers and privileges conferred hereunder upon the parties shall be cumulative and not restrictive of those given by law.
 
17.7  No Waiver By Conduct. The failure of either party to exercise any power given such party hereunder or to insist upon strict compliance by the other party with its obligations hereunder shall not, and no custom or practice of the parties at variance with the terms hereof, shall constitute a waiver of such parties rights to demand exact compliance with the terms hereof.
 
17.8  Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits, annexes and schedules attached hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto relating to the sale and purchase of the Project, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and undertakings of the parties in connection therewith. No statements, agreements, covenants, understandings, representations, warranties or conditions not expressed in this Agreement shall be binding upon the parties hereto, or shall be effective to interpret, change, or restrict provisions of this Agreement, unless such is in writing, signed by both parties hereto and by reference made a part hereof. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by a subsequent agreement in writing signed by Seller and Purchaser.
 
17.9  Assignment. Seller shall not assign, transfer, or mortgage Seller’s interest in this Agreement. Seller expressly agrees that Purchaser shall have the absolute right to assign and transfer Purchaser’s interest in the Project and in this Agreement to any affiliated special purpose entity without the need to obtain the consent of Seller, and in the event of any such assignment, such assignee shall succeed to all the interests and rights so assigned as though such assignee had executed this Agreement, and Purchaser shall thereafter be relieved of obligations hereunder.
 
17.10  Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
 
17.11  Binding Effect. Subject to the restrictions set forth in Section 17.9 hereof, this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
 
18

 
17.12  Time. Time is of the essence with respect to this Agreement, and the respective time periods set forth herein.
 
17.13  Captions. The captions in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and reference only, and shall in no way affect, define, limit or describe the scope, intent or construction of any provision hereof.
 
17.14  Pronouns. Pronouns, wherever used herein, and of whatever gender, shall include natural persons and corporations and associations of every kind and character, and the singular shall include the plural wherever and as often as may be appropriate.
 
17.15  Construction of Agreement.  The terms and provisions of this Agreement represent the results of negotiations between Seller and Purchaser, each of which has been represented by counsel of its own choosing, and neither of which has acted under duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual and customary meanings, and Seller and Purchaser hereby waive the application in connection with the interpretation and construction of this Agreement of any rule of law to the effect that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the party whose attorney prepared the executed draft or any earlier draft of this Agreement.
 
17.16  Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as expressly set forth herein, nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall operate to create any rights of any nature in favor of any person, association or entity that is not a party to this Agreement.
 
17.17  Recordation. Neither Seller nor Purchaser shall record this Agreement in the Real Property Records without the prior written consent of the other party.

IN THE EVENT OF ANY DEFECT OR DEFICIENCY IN ANY OF THE PREMISES OF ANY NATURE, WHETHER LATENT OR PATENT, LESSOR SHALL NOT HAVE ANY RESPONSIBILITY OR LIABILITY WITH RESPECT THERETO OR FOR ANY INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT).

or at such other address or to such other person as Lessor from time to time may designate. Lessor shall give Lessee not less than fifteen (15) days prior written notice of any change in the address to which such payments are to be made. If the party entitled to receive Basic Rent or such party’s address shall change, Lessee may, until receipt of notice of such change from the party entitled to receive Basic Rent or other sums payable hereunder immediately preceding such change, continue to pay Basic Rent and other sums payable hereunder to the party to which, and in the manner in which, the preceding installment of Basic Rent or other sums payable hereunder, as the case may be, was paid. Such Basic Rent shall be paid in equal monthly installments in advance on the first day of each month. Any rental payment made in respect of a period which is less than one month shall be prorated by multiplying the then applicable monthly Basic Rent by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in such month with respect to which rent is being paid and the denominator of which is the total number of days in such month.

ARTICLE II
 
Section 2.01 Maintenance and Repair.
 
(a) Lessee acknowledges that it has received the Premises in the condition disclosed in the Property Condition Report (the “Property Condition Report”), prepared by LandAmerica Assessment Corporation and dated September 12, 2006 (LAC Project No.: 06-40635.1). Lessee, at its own expense, agrees to repair or cause to be repaired all of the necessary repairs not related to the roof as cited in the Table 1 of the Property Condition Report (a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit E) within ninety (90) days after the date hereof. Lessee, at its own expense, also agrees to repair, replace or install a new roof (but not, unless necessary, the structural elements thereof) before December 31, 2007, in compliance with the terms of Section 2.02 hereof such that the repaired, replaced or new roof shall have a minimum remaining useful life equal to the Term. Lessee, at its own expense, will maintain all parts of the Premises in as good repair, appearance and condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and will take all action and will make all structural and nonstructural, foreseen and unforeseen and ordinary and extraordinary changes and repairs which may be required to keep all parts of the Premises in as good repair and condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted (including, but not limited to, all painting, glass, utilities, conduits, fixtures and equipment, foundation, roof, exterior walls, heating and air conditioning systems, wiring, plumbing, sprinkler systems and other utilities, and all paving, sidewalks, roads, parking areas, curbs and gutters and fences). Lessee, at its own expense, will retain an independent consultant reasonably approved by Lessor to conduct annual inspections of the roof and the heating and air conditioning systems of the Premises and to provide Lessee and Lessor with a written report of its findings. Lessee shall promptly cause a licensed contractor to perform any recommended or necessary repairs or maintenance measures reflected in such report. No more than once in any Lease Year (except when Lessor has reasonable cause), Lessor, its contractors, subcontractors, servants, employees and agents, shall have the right to enter upon the Premises with prior notice during normal business hours (except in the event of an emergency, in which case no notice shall be required) to inspect same to ensure that all parts of the Premises are maintained in as good repair and condition as when received, reasonable wear and tear excepted, and Lessee shall not be entitled to any abatement or reduction in rent by reason thereof. Lessor shall not be required to maintain, repair or rebuild all or any part of the Premises. Lessee waives the right to require Lessor to maintain, repair or rebuild all or any part of the Premises or make repairs at the expense of Lessor pursuant to any Legal Requirements, agreement, contract, covenant, condition or restrictions at any time.

(b) If all or any part of the Improvements shall encroach upon any property, street or right-of-way adjoining or adjacent to the Premises, or shall violate the agreements or conditions affecting the Premises or any part thereof, or shall hinder, obstruct or impair any easement or right-of-way to which the Premises are subject, or any improvement located on an adjoining or adjacent property to the Premises shall encroach onto the Premises, then, if Lessor is not made whole by existing insurance policies, promptly after written request of Lessor (unless such encroachment, violation, hindrance, obstruction or impairment is a Permitted Exception) or of any person so affected, Lessee shall, at its expense, either (i) obtain valid and effective waivers or settlements of all claims, liabilities and damages resulting therefrom or (ii) if Lessor consents thereto, make such changes, including alteration or removal, to the Improvements and take such other action as shall be necessary to remove or eliminate such encroachments, violations, hindrances, obstructions or impairments. To the extent any easements are, in Lessor’s good faith judgment, necessary for Lessee’s use and occupancy of the Premises as contemplated by this Lease, upon Lessee’s written request, Lessor will execute such easements.
 
Section 2.02 Alterations, Replacements and Additions. Lessee may, at its expense, make additions to and alterations of the Improvements, and construct additional Improvements, provided that (i) the fair market value, the utility, the square footage or the useful life of the Premises shall not be lessened thereby, (ii) such work shall be expeditiously completed in a good and workmanlike manner and in compliance with all applicable Legal Requirements and the requirements of all insurance policies required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder, (iii) no structural alterations shall be made to the Improvements or structural demolitions conducted in connection therewith unless Lessee shall have obtained Lessor’s consent and furnished Lessor with such surety bonds or other security acceptable to Lessor as shall be reasonably acceptable to Lessor (but in no event greater than the cost of such alterations or demolitions), (iv) no additions, replacements or alterations (other than cosmetic, interior or nonstructural alterations) which cost in excess of $100,000 shall be made unless prior written consent from Lessor shall have been obtained, and (v) no Event of Default exists. Cosmetic, interior or nonstructural alterations (including demolition or construction of interior demising walls that are non-structural and non load-bearing) that cost $100,000 or less shall not require prior written consent from Lessor. All additions and alterations of the Premises, without consideration by Lessor, shall be and remain part of the Premises (not subject to removal upon termination) and the property of Lessor and shall be subject to this Lease. To the extent that Lessor shall fail to respond to any request for consent by Lessee pursuant to this Section 2.02 within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such request, Lessor’s consent will be deemed given fifteen (15) days after Lessor receives such request.

ARTICLE III
 
Section 3.01 Severable Property. Lessee may, at its expense, install, assemble or place on the Premises and remove and substitute any severable property used or useful in Lessee’s business, all as more particularly described in Exhibit D attached hereto and made a part hereof for all purposes (collectively, the “Severable Property”). Upon the written request of Lessee, Lessor will enter into an agreement subordinating its rights in the Severable Property on a form substantially similar to that attached hereto as Exhibit F.
 
Section 3.02 Removal. So long as no Event of Default exists, Lessee may remove the Severable Property at any time during the Term. Any of Lessee’s Severable Property not removed by Lessee prior to the expiration of this Lease or thirty (30) days after an earlier termination shall be considered abandoned by Lessee and may be appropriated, sold, destroyed or otherwise disposed of by Lessor without obligation to account therefor. Lessee will repair at its expense all damage to the Premises necessarily caused by the removal of Lessee’s Severable Property, whether effected by Lessee or by Lessor.
 
Section 3.03 License of Incidental Rights. During the Term, Lessor hereby grants a license to Lessee for the use of the “Incidental Rights,” “Plans” and “Property Agreements” that were conveyed to Lessor by and as defined in that certain Bill of Sale and Assignment of Incidental Rights and Plans of even date herewith.
 
ARTICLE IV
 
Section 4.01 Lessee’s Assignment and Subletting. Lessee may, for its own account, assign this Lease or sublet the use of all or any part of the Premises for the Term of this Lease so long as no Event of Default shall exist hereunder and, subject to the provisions of Section 4.03 below, Lessee shall have obtained Lessor’s and, if Mortgagee shall require, such Mortgagee's prior written consent to such assignment or sublease. Any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets or stock of Lessee, any merger of Lessee into another entity or of another entity into Lessee, or any transfer occurring by operation of law shall be deemed to constitute an assignment by Lessee of its interest hereunder for the purposes hereof. Each such assignment or sublease shall expressly be made subject to the provisions hereof. No such assignment or sublease shall modify or limit any right or power of Lessor hereunder or affect or reduce any obligation of Lessee hereunder, and all such obligations shall be those of Lessee and shall continue in full effect as obligations of a principal and not of a guarantor or surety, as though no subletting or assignment had been made, such liability of the Lessee named herein to continue notwithstanding any subsequent modifications or amendments of this Lease; provided, however, that (other than with respect to any modifications required by law or on account of bankruptcy or insolvency) if any modification or amendment is made without the consent of Lessee named herein, such modification or amendment shall be ineffective as against Lessee named herein to the extent, and only to the extent, that the same shall increase the obligations of Lessee, it being expressly agreed that Lessee named herein shall remain liable to the full extent of this Lease as if such modification had not been made. Neither this Lease nor the Term hereby demised shall be mortgaged by Lessee, nor shall Lessee mortgage or pledge its interest in any sublease of the Premises or the rentals payable thereunder. Any sublease made otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Section 4.01 and any assignment of Lessee’s interest hereunder made otherwise than as expressly permitted by this Section 4.01 shall be void. Lessee shall, within twenty (20) days after the execution of any assignment or sublease, deliver a conformed copy thereof to Lessor.

-5-

 
Section 4.02 Transfer by Lessor. Lessor shall be free to transfer its fee interest in the Premises or any part thereof or interest therein, subject, however, to the terms of this Lease. Any such transfer shall relieve the transferor of all liability and obligation hereunder (to the extent of the interest transferred) accruing after the date of the transfer and any assignee shall be bound by the terms and provisions of this Lease.
 
Section 4.03 Assignment/Subletting Exceptions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 4.01, Lessee shall have the right to assign or sublet its interest in this Lease or all or any portion of the Premises at any time without the consent of Lessor or Mortgagee to (i) the surviving entity of any merger, reorganization, consolidation or similar transaction with Lessee, (ii) any Affiliate of Lessee, (iii) any person or entity who purchases substantially all of the assets of Lessee (whether by means of a stock or asset purchase), or (iv) any proposed assignee or sublessee that has a tangible net worth of $10,000,000.00 or more, as shown on such prospective assignee’s or sublessee’s most recent balance sheet prepared in accordance with GAAP, which balance sheet may not have been prepared more than 6 months prior to such assignment or sublease. In addition, Lessee may sublease up to 20% of the Premises to any party without Lessor's consent. The exceptions afforded Lessee in this Section shall be conditioned on the following:
 
(a) Lessee is not then in default beyond applicable notice and cure periods hereunder;
 
(b) Lessor is provided a copy of such assignment or sublease;
 
(c) Any subletting or assignment of the Premises shall be subject to the terms of this Lease and Lessee shall remain liable hereunder, as same may be amended from time to time;

-6-

 
(d) Each sublease permitted under this Section shall contain provisions to the effect that (i) such sublease is only for actual use and occupancy by the sublessee; (ii) such sublease is subject and subordinate to all of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Lease and to all of the rights of Lessor hereunder; (iii) that any security deposit paid by sublessee shall be pledged to Lessor subject to the terms of the sublease and subject to Lessee’s right to apply the security deposit in accordance with the sublease; and (iv) in the event this Lease shall terminate before the expiration of such sublease, the sublessee thereunder will, at Lessor’s option, attorn to Lessor and be entitled to quiet possession of the Property for the term of the sublease and both Lessor and sublessee waive any rights they may have to terminate the sublease or possession thereunder, as a result of the termination of this Lease;
 
(e) Lessee agrees to pay, or to cause the assignee or sublessee, as applicable, to pay, on behalf of Lessor any and all reasonable out-of-pocket costs of Lessor, including reasonable attorneys’ fees paid or payable to outside counsel, occasioned by such subletting or assignment. Further, Lessee agrees that Lessor shall in no event be liable for any leasing commissions, finish-out costs, rent abatements or other costs, fees or expenses incurred by Lessee in subleasing or assigning or seeking to sublease or assign its leasehold interest in the Premises, and Lessee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Lessor and its partners, and their respective officers, directors, shareholders, agents, employees and representatives from, against and with respect to any and all such commissions, costs, fees and expenses; and
 
(f) In the case of an assignment of the entire Lease, the assignee agrees in writing to honor and perform all of the obligations of Lessee hereunder from and after the date of such assignment.
 
For the purposes of this Section, “Affiliate” shall be defined as with respect to any Person, any other Person that, directly or indirectly, controls or is controlled by or is under common control with such Person, and shall include the spouse of any natural person, with the term “control” and any derivatives thereof meaning the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of a Person, whether through ownership of voting securities, by contract, or otherwise. “Person” shall mean an individual, partnership, association, corporation or other entity.

ARTICLE V
 
Section 5.01 Net Lease.
 
(a) It is expressly understood and agreed by and between the parties that this Lease is an absolute net lease, and the Basic Rent and all other sums payable hereunder to or on behalf of Lessor shall be paid without notice or demand and without setoff, counterclaim, abatement, suspension, deduction or defense.
 
(b) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, this Lease shall not terminate, nor shall Lessee have any right to terminate this Lease or be entitled to the abatement of any rent or any reduction thereof, nor shall the obligations hereunder of Lessee be otherwise affected, by reason of any damage to or destruction of all or any part of the Premises from whatever cause, the taking of the Premises or any portion thereof by condemnation or otherwise, the prohibition, limitation or restriction of Lessee’s use of the Premises, any latent or other defect in any of the Premises, the breach of any warranty of any seller or manufacturer of any of the Improvements or Severable Property, the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of, or other proceeding affecting Lessor, the exercise of any remedy, including foreclosure, under any mortgage or collateral assignment, any action with respect to this Lease (including the disaffirmance hereof) which may be taken by Lessor, any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Lessor or any court under the Federal Bankruptcy Code or otherwise, and market or economic changes, or interference with such use by any private person or corporation, or by reason of any eviction by paramount title resulting by a claim from Lessor’s predecessor in title, or for any other cause whether similar or dissimilar to the foregoing, any present or future law to the contrary notwithstanding, it being the intention of the parties hereto that the rent and all other charges payable hereunder to or on behalf of Lessor shall continue to be payable in all events and the obligations of Lessee hereunder shall continue unaffected, unless the requirement to pay or perform the same shall be terminated pursuant to an express provision of this Lease. Nothing contained in this Section 5.01 shall be deemed a waiver by Lessee of any rights that it may have with respect to any default by Lessor hereunder or under any other agreement.
 
-7-

 
(c) The obligations of Lessee hereunder shall be separate and independent covenants and agreements. Lessee covenants and agrees that it will remain obligated under this Lease in accordance with its terms, and that Lessee will not take any action to terminate, rescind or avoid this Lease, notwithstanding the bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, composition, readjustment, liquidation, dissolution, winding-up or other proceeding affecting Lessor or any assignee of Lessor in any such proceeding and notwithstanding any action with respect to this Lease which may be taken by any trustee or receiver of Lessor or of any assignee of Lessor in any such proceeding or by any court in any such proceeding.
 
(d) Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Lease, Lessee waives all rights now or hereafter conferred by law (i) to quit, terminate or surrender this Lease or the Premises or any part thereof or (ii) to any abatement, suspension, deferment or reduction of the rent, or any other sums payable hereunder to or on behalf of Lessor, regardless of whether such rights shall arise from any present or future constitution, statute or rule of law.
 
Section 5.02 Taxes and Assessments; Compliance With Law.
 
(a) Lessee shall pay, as additional rent, prior to delinquency, the following (collectively, “Taxes”):  (i) all taxes, assessments, levies, fees, water and sewer rents and charges and all other governmental charges, general and special, ordinary and extraordinary, foreseen and unforeseen, which are, at any time prior to or during the Term imposed or levied upon or assessed against or which arise with respect to (A) the Premises, (B) any Basic Rent, additional rent or other sums payable hereunder, (C) this Lease or the leasehold estate hereby created or (D) the operation, possession or use of the Premises; (ii) all gross receipts or similar taxes (i.e., taxes based upon gross income which fail to take into account deductions with respect to depreciation, interest, taxes or ordinary and necessary business expenses, in each case relating to the Premises) imposed or levied upon, assessed against or measured by any Basic Rent, additional rent or other sums payable hereunder; (iii) all sales, value added, ad valorem, use and similar taxes at any time levied, assessed or payable on account of the leasing, operation, possession or use of the Premises; and (iv) all charges of utilities, communications and similar services serving the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, “Taxes,” as used herein, shall not include, and Lessee shall not be required to pay any franchise, estate, inheritance, transfer, income, capital gains or similar tax of or on Lessor unless such tax is imposed, levied or assessed in direct substitution for any other tax, assessment, charge or levy which Lessee is required to pay pursuant to this Section 5.02(a); provided, however, that if, at any time during the Term, the method of taxation shall be such that there shall be assessed, levied, charged or imposed on Lessor a capital levy or other tax directly on the rents received therefrom, or upon the value of the Premises or any present or future improvement or improvements on the Premises, then all such levies and taxes or the part thereof so measured or based shall be included in the term “Taxes” and payable by Lessee, and Lessee shall pay and discharge the same as herein provided. Lessee will furnish to Lessor, promptly after request therefor, proof of payment of all items referred to above which are payable by Lessee. If any assessment, levy or similar charge may legally be paid in installments, Lessee may pay such assessment in installments; in such event, Lessee shall be liable only for installments which become due and payable with respect to any tax period occurring in whole or in part during the Term hereof; provided, however, that all amounts referred to in this Section 5.02(a) for the fiscal or tax year in which the Term shall expire shall be apportioned so that Lessee shall pay only those portions thereof which correspond with the portion of such year as are within the Term of this Lease. Lessor shall cooperate with Lessee in any proceeding that may be necessary to cause assessments or levies to be payable in installments. If an assessment or levy may not be paid in installments and the useful life of the project or improvement to which such assessment or levy pertains extends beyond the Term of this Lease, Lessee shall only be required to pay that pro rata portion of the assessment or levy that is attributable to the Term.

-8-

 
(b) Lessee shall comply with and cause the Premises to comply with and shall assume all obligations and liabilities with respect to (i) all laws, ordinances and regulations and other governmental rules, orders and determinations presently in effect or hereafter enacted, made or issued, whether or not presently contemplated (collectively, “Legal Requirements”), as applied to the Premises or the ownership, operation, use or possession thereof, including, but not limited to, maintaining an adequate number of vehicular parking spaces, and (ii) all contracts, insurance policies (including, without limitation, to the extent necessary to prevent cancellation thereof and to insure full payment of any claims made under such policies), agreements, covenants, conditions and restrictions now or hereafter applicable to the Premises or the ownership, operation, use or possession thereof (other than covenants, conditions and restrictions imposed by Lessor subsequent to the date of this Lease without the consent of Lessee), including, but not limited to, all such Legal Requirements, contracts, agreements, covenants, conditions and restrictions which require structural, unforeseen or extraordinary changes, except for when such structural changes are required during the last two (2) years of the Term; provided, however, that, with respect to any of the obligations of Lessee in clause (ii) above which are not now in existence, Lessee shall not be required to so comply unless Lessee is either a party thereto or has given its written consent thereto, or unless the same is occasioned by Legal Requirements or Lessee’s default (including any failure or omission by Lessee) under this Lease. Nothing in clause (ii) of the immediately preceding sentence or the following sentence shall modify the obligations of Lessee under Section 5.04 of this Lease.
-9-

 
(c) On the date hereof and promptly after any future date on which the Taxes are increased by an applicable taxing authority, Lessee shall pay to Lessor that amount necessary to ensure there will be on deposit with Lessor an amount which when added to the Tax Escrow Payments will result in there being an amount on deposit sufficient to pay the Taxes at least two (2) months prior to the due date thereof (“Initial Tax Escrow Payment”). Thereafter, Lessee shall, in addition to and concurrently with the payment of Basic Rent as required in subsection 1.05 hereof, pay one-twelfth of the amount (as estimated by Lessor) of the annual Taxes (each such payment, a “Tax Escrow Payment,” and together with the Initial Tax Escrow Payment, hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Tax Escrow Payments”) next becoming due and payable with respect to the Premises. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor on demand therefor the amount by which the actual Taxes exceed the payment by Lessee required in this subsection. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Lease, so long as Lessee shall have complied with its obligations under this Section 5.02(c), Lessor shall be solely liable for the application of the Tax Escrow Payments to the actual payment of Taxes as and when the same become due. Absent an Event of Default, any excess Tax Escrow Payments remaining at the expiration of the Term shall be refunded to Lessee.
 
Section 5.03 Liens.
 
(a) Lessee will remove and discharge any charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance upon the Premises or upon any Basic Rent, additional rent or other sums payable hereunder which arises for any reason, including, without limitation, all liens which arise out of the possession, use, occupancy, construction, repair or rebuilding of the Premises or by reason of labor or materials furnished or claimed to have been furnished to Lessee or for the Premises, but not including (i) the Permitted Exceptions, (ii) this Lease and any assignment hereof or any sublease permitted hereunder and (iii) any mortgage, charge, lien, security interest or encumbrance created or caused by or through Lessor or its agents, employees or representatives without the consent of Lessee. Lessee may contest any charges, liens, security interest or encumbrances on the Premises in accordance with Section 5.05. Lessee may provide a bond or other security reasonably acceptable to Lessor (but in no event greater in amount than the amount of such encumbrance) to remove or pay all costs associated with the removal of any such lien, provided the conditions of Section 5.05 shall be satisfied. Nothing contained in this Lease shall be construed as constituting the consent or request of Lessor, express or implied, to or for the performance (on behalf of or for the benefit of Lessor) by any contractor, laborer, materialman or vendor, of any labor or services or for the furnishing of any materials for any construction, alteration, addition, repair or demolition of or to the Premises or any part thereof. NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN THAT LESSOR WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS FURNISHED OR TO BE FURNISHED TO LESSEE, OR TO ANYONE HOLDING AN INTEREST IN THE PREMISES OR ANY PART THEREOF THROUGH OR UNDER LESSEE, AND THAT NO MECHANIC'S OR OTHER LIENS FOR ANY SUCH LABOR, SERVICES OR MATERIALS SHALL ATTACH TO OR AFFECT THE INTEREST OF LESSOR IN AND TO THE PREMISES UNLESS BY OR THROUGH LESSOR OR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR REPRESENTATIVES.

-10-

 
(b) In no event shall the interest of Lessor be subject to the liens for improvements made by Lessee, and this Lease expressly prohibits such liability. Pursuant to Section 713.10 Florida Statutes (“Florida Construction Lien Law”), this provision specifically provides that no interest of Lessor shall be subject to liens for improvements made by Lessee at Lessee’s direction. This provision shall serve as notice to all potential construction lienors that Lessor shall not be liable for and the Premises shall not be subject to liens for work performed or materials supplied at Lessee’s request or at the request of anyone claiming an interest through Lessee. Lessee shall provide notice to its contractors doing any work on the Premises of the existence of this provision in the Lease.
 
Section 5.04 Indemnification.
 
(a) Except for the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Indemnified Party (as defined herein), Lessee shall defend all actions against Lessor and any partner, officer, director, member, employee or shareholder of the foregoing (collectively, “Indemnified Parties”), with respect to, and shall pay, protect, indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties from and against, any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature arising from (i) injury to or death of any person, or damage to or loss of property, on or about the Premises, or connected with the use, condition or occupancy of any thereof, (ii) default by Lessee under this Lease, (iii) use, act or omission of Lessee or its agents, contractors, licensees, sublessees or invitees, (iv) contest referred to in Section 5.05 of this Lease, and (v) liens against the Premises in violation of Section 5.03 of this Lease. LESSEE UNDERSTANDS AND AGREES THAT THE FOREGOING INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS OF LESSEE ARE EXPRESSLY INTENDED TO AND SHALL INURE TO THE BENEFIT OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES EVEN IF SOME OR ALL OF THE MATTERS FOR WHICH SUCH INDEMNIFICATION IS PROVIDED ARE CAUSED OR ALLEGED TO HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE SOLE, SIMPLE, JOINT OR CONCURRENT NEGLIGENCE OR STRICT LIABILITY OF ANY OF THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES, BUT NOT TO THE EXTENT CAUSED BY THE INDEMNIFIED PARTIES' GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. The obligations of Lessee under this Section 5.04 shall survive any termination, expiration, rejection in bankruptcy, or assumption in bankruptcy of this Lease.
 
(b) The rights and obligations of Lessor and Lessee with respect to claims by Lessor against Lessee brought pursuant to this Section 5.04 and Section 5.06 shall be subject to the following conditions:
 
(i) If Lessor receives notice of the assertion of any claim in respect of which it intends to make an indemnification claim under this Section 5.04 or Section 5.06, Lessor shall promptly provide written notice of such assertion to Lessee; provided that failure of Lessor to give Lessee prompt notice as provided herein shall not relieve Lessee of any of its obligations hereunder, except to the extent the Lessee is prejudiced by such failure. The notice shall describe in reasonable detail the nature of the claim and the basis for an indemnification claim under Section 5.04 or Section 5.06, and shall be accompanied by all papers and documents which have been served upon Lessor and such other documents and information as may be appropriate to an understanding of such claim and the liability of Lessee to indemnify Lessor hereunder. Except as required by law, the Lessor shall not answer or otherwise respond to such claim or take any other action which may prejudice the defense thereof unless and until Lessee has been given the opportunity to assume the defense thereof as required by this Section 5.04 and refused to do so.

-11-

 
(ii) Upon receipt of an indemnification notice under this Section 5.04, the Lessee shall have the right, but not the obligation, to promptly assume and take exclusive control of the defense, negotiation and/or settlement of such claim; provided, however, that if the representation of both parties by Lessee’s counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them, then the Lessee shall not be obligated to assume such defense, but such conflict shall not lessen Lessee’s indemnity obligation hereunder. In the event of a conflict of interest or dispute or during the continuance of an Event of Default, Lessor shall have the right to select separate counsel, and the cost of such counsel shall be paid by Lessee. The parties acknowledge that, with respect to claims for which insurance is available, the rights of the parties to select counsel for the defense of such claims shall be subject to such approval rights as the insurance company providing coverage may have.
 
(iii) The party controlling the defense of a claim shall keep the other party reasonably informed at all stages of the defense of such claim. The party not controlling the defense of any claim shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in, but not control, the defense of any such claim. Each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other in the defense, negotiation and/or settlement of any such claim. In connection with any defense of a claim undertaken by Lessee, Lessor shall provide Lessee, and its counsel, accountants and other representatives, with reasonable access to relevant books and records and make available such personnel of Lessor as Lessee may reasonably request.
 
Section 5.05 Permitted Contests.
 
(a) Lessee, at its expense, may contest, by appropriate legal proceedings conducted in good faith and with due diligence, any Legal Requirements with which Lessee is required to comply pursuant to Section 5.02(b) or any Environmental Law under Section 5.06, or the amount or validity or application, in whole or in part, of any tax, assessment or charge which Lessee is obligated to pay or any lien, encumbrance or charge not permitted by Sections 2.01, 2.02, 5.02(a), 5.03 and 6.02, provided that unless Lessee has already paid such tax, assessment or charge (i) the commencement of such proceedings shall suspend the enforcement or collection thereof against or from Lessor and against or from the Premises, (ii) neither the Premises nor any rent therefrom nor any part thereof or interest therein would be in any danger of being sold, forfeited, attached or lost, (iii) Lessee shall have furnished such security, if any, as may be required in the proceedings and as may be reasonably required by Lessor, and (iv) if such contest be finally resolved against Lessee, Lessee shall promptly pay the amount required to be paid, together with all interest and penalties accrued thereon. Lessor, at Lessee’s expense, shall execute and deliver to Lessee such authorizations and other documents as reasonably may be required in any such contest. Lessee shall indemnify and save Lessor harmless against any cost or expense of any kind that may be imposed upon Lessor in connection with any such contest and any loss resulting therefrom. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Lease to the contrary, Lessee shall not be in default hereunder in respect to the compliance with any Legal Requirements with which Lessee is obligated to comply pursuant to Section 5.02(b), any Environmental Law under Section 5.06, or in respect to the payment of any tax, assessment or charge which Lessee is obligated to pay or any lien, encumbrance or charge not permitted by Section 2.01, 2.02, 5.02(a), 5.03 and 6.02 which Lessee is in good faith contesting.

-12-

 
(b) Without limiting the provisions of Section 5.05(a), so long as no Event of Default exists and the conditions set forth in Section 5.05(a) are satisfied, Lessor hereby irrevocably appoints Lessee as Lessor’s attorney-in-fact solely for the purpose of prosecuting a contest of any tax, assessment or charge which Lessee is obligated to pay. Such appointment is coupled with an interest. Notwithstanding the foregoing appointment, if Lessee determines it to be preferable in prosecution of a contest of a tax, assessment or charge, upon Lessee’s prior request, Lessor shall execute the real estate tax complaint and/or other documents reasonably needed by Lessee to prosecute the complaint as to such tax, assessment or charge and return same to Lessee within ten (10) days. In such event, Lessee shall pay all of Lessor’s costs and expenses in connection therewith, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and Lessee shall arrange for preparation of such documentation at Lessee’s sole cost and expense.
 
Section 5.06 Environmental Compliance.
 
(a) For purposes of this Lease:
 
(i) the term “Environmental Laws” shall mean and include the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, as amended by the Hazardous and Solid Waste Amendments of 1984, the Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act, the Hazardous Materials Transportation Act, the Toxic Substances Control Act, the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide and Rodenticide Act and all applicable federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances, rules, requirements, regulations and publications, as any of the foregoing may have been or may be from time to time amended, supplemented or supplanted and any and all other federal, state or local laws, ordinances, rules, requirements, regulations and publications, now or hereafter existing, relating to (i) the preservation or regulation of the public health, welfare or environment, (ii) the regulation or control of toxic or hazardous substances or materials, or (iii) any wrongful death, personal injury or property damage that is caused by or related to the presence, growth, proliferation, reproduction, dispersal, or contact with any biological organism or portion thereof (living or dead), including molds or other fungi, bacteria or other microorganisms or any etiologic agents or materials; and
 
(ii) the term “Regulated Substance” shall mean and include any, each and all substances, biological and etiologic agents or materials now or hereafter regulated pursuant to any Environmental Laws, including, but not limited to, any such substance, biological or etiological agent or material now or hereafter defined as or deemed to be a “regulated substance,” “pesticide,” “hazardous substance” or “hazardous waste” or included in any similar or like classification or categorization thereunder.

-13-

 
(b) Lessee shall:
 
(i) not cause or permit any Regulated Substance to be placed, held, located, released, transported or disposed of on, under, at or from the Premises in violation of Environmental Laws;
 
(ii) contain at or remove from the Premises, or perform any other necessary remedial action regarding, any Regulated Substance in any way affecting the Premises if, as and when such containment, removal or other remedial action is required under any Legal Requirements and, whether or not so required, shall perform any containment, removal or remediation of any kind involving any Regulated Substance in any way materially adversely affecting the Premises in compliance with all Legal Requirements and, upon reasonable request of Lessor after consultation with Lessee (which request may be given only if Lessor has received information such that it reasonably believes that environmental contamination exists which may have a material adverse effect on the Premises), shall arrange a Site Assessment (as such term is defined in Section 5.06(c)), or such other or further testing or actions as may be required by Legal Requirements or as may be mutually agreed to by Lessor and Lessee, to be conducted at the Premises by qualified companies retained by Lessee specializing in environmental matters and reasonably satisfactory to Lessor in order to ascertain compliance with all Legal Requirements and the requirements of this Lease, all of the foregoing to be at Lessee’s sole cost and expense;
 
(iii) provide Lessor with written notice (and a copy as may be applicable) of any of the following within ten (10) days of receipt thereof:  (A) Lessee’s obtaining knowledge or notice of any kind of the material presence, or any actual or threatened release, of any Regulated Substance in any way materially adversely affecting the Premises; (B) Lessee’s receipt or submission, or Lessee’s obtaining knowledge or notice of any kind, of any report, citation, notice or other communication from or to any federal, state or local governmental or quasi-governmental authority regarding any Regulated Substance in any way materially adversely affecting the Premises; or (C) Lessee’s obtaining knowledge or notice of any kind of the incurrence of any cost or expense by any federal, state or local governmental or quasi-governmental authority or any private party in connection with the assessment, monitoring, containment, removal or remediation of any kind of any Regulated Substance in any way materially adversely affecting the Premises, or of the filing or recording of any lien on the Premises or any portion thereof in connection with any such action or Regulated Substance in any way materially adversely affecting the Premises; and
 
(iv) in addition to the requirements of Section 5.04 hereof, defend all actions against the Indemnified Parties and Mortgagee and pay, protect, indemnify and save harmless the Indemnified Parties and Mortgagee from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs, expenses (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses), causes of action, suits, claims, demands or judgments of any nature relating to any Environmental Laws, Regulated Substances or other environmental matters concerning the Premises; except to the extent caused by or through Lessor, Mortgagee, or their agents, employees or representatives. The indemnity contained in this Section 5.06 shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this Lease, unless at such time Lessee provides Lessor a Site Assessment (as defined below) acceptable to Lessor showing the Premises to be free of Regulated Substances and not in violation of Environmental Laws and that there exists no condition which could result in any violations of Environmental Laws.

-14-

 
(c) Upon reasonable cause and prior written notice from Lessor, Lessee shall permit such reasonably qualified persons as Lessor may designate (“Site Reviewers”) to visit the Premises and perform environmental site investigations and assessments (“Site Assessments”) on the Premises for the purpose of determining whether there exists on the Premises any Regulated Substance or violation of Environmental Laws or any condition which could result in any violations of Environmental Laws. Such Site Assessments may include both above and below the ground environmental testing for violations of Environmental Laws and such other tests as may be necessary, in the reasonable opinion of the Site Reviewers, to conduct the Site Assessments. Lessee shall supply to the Site Reviewers such historical and operational information regarding the Premises as may be reasonably requested by the Site Reviewers to facilitate the Site Assessments, and shall make available for meetings with the Site Reviewers appropriate personnel having knowledge of such matters. The cost of performing and reporting a Site Assessment shall be paid by Lessee.
 
(d) If any violation of Environmental Laws occurs or is found to exist and, in Lessor's reasonable judgment based upon the written bids of reputable environmental professionals, the cost of remediation of, or other response action with respect to, the same is likely to exceed $100,000, Lessee shall provide to Lessor, within ten (10) days after Lessor's request therefor, adequate financial assurances that Lessee will effect such remediation in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws. Such financial assurances shall be a bond or letter of credit reasonably satisfactory to Lessor in form and substance and in an amount equal to one hundred and fifty percent (150%) of Lessor’s reasonable estimate of the anticipated cost of such remedial action, based upon a Site Assessment performed pursuant to Section 5.06(c). Notwithstanding any other provision in this Lease, if a violation of Environmental Laws occurs or is found to exist and the Term would otherwise terminate or expire, and such violation(s) of Environmental Laws is proximately caused, in whole or in part, by the actions and/or omissions of Lessee, and the Premises cannot be rented to another lessee on commercially reasonable terms during the remedial action, then, at the option of Lessor, the Term shall be automatically extended beyond the date of termination or expiration and this Lease shall remain in full force and effect beyond such date until the earlier to occur of (i) the completion of all remedial action in accordance with applicable Environmental Laws, or (ii) the date specified in a written notice from Lessor to Lessee terminating this Lease.

(e) If Lessee fails to correct any violation of Environmental Laws which occurs or is found to exist, Lessor shall have the right (but no obligation) to take any and all actions as Lessor shall reasonably deem necessary or advisable in order to cure such violation of Environmental Laws.

(f) All future leases, subleases or concession agreements permitted by this Lease relating to the Premises entered into by Lessee shall contain covenants of the other party not to knowingly at any time (i) cause any violation of Environmental Laws to occur or (ii) permit any Person occupying the Premises through said subtenant or concessionaire to knowingly cause any violation of Environmental Laws to occur.

ARTICLE VI
 
Section 6.01 Intentionally Deleted.
 
Section 6.02 Condemnation and Casualty.
 
(a) General Provisions. Except as provided in Section 6.02(b) and (c), Lessee hereby irrevocably assigns to Lessor any award, compensation or insurance payment to which Lessee may become entitled by reason of Lessee’s interest in the Premises (i) if the use, occupancy or title of the Premises or any part thereof is taken, requisitioned or sold in, by or on account of any actual or threatened eminent domain proceeding or other action by any person having the power of eminent domain (“Condemnation”) or (ii) if the Premises or any part thereof is damaged or destroyed by fire, flood or other casualty (“Casualty”). All awards, compensations and insurance payments on account of any Condemnation or Casualty are herein collectively called “Compensation.” Lessee may not unilaterally negotiate, prosecute or adjust any claim for any Compensation. Lessee must consult with and obtain Lessor’s consent thereto. If the parties are unable to so agree, then they shall appoint an entity or individual that specializes in such negotiations who shall negotiate, prosecute and adjust a claim for Compensation. Lessor shall be entitled to participate in any such proceeding, action, negotiation, prosecution, appeal or adjustment as contemplated herein. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Article VI, if permissible under applicable law, any separate Compensation made to Lessee for its moving and relocation expenses, anticipated loss of business profits, loss of goodwill or fixtures and equipment paid for by Lessee and which are not part of the Premises (including, without limitation, the Severable Property) shall be paid directly to and shall be retained by Lessee (and shall not be deemed to be “Compensation”). All Compensation shall be applied pursuant to this Section 6.02, and all such Compensation (less the expense of collecting such Compensation) is herein called the “Net Proceeds.” Except as specifically set for herein, all Net Proceeds shall be paid to the Proceeds Trustee (as defined herein) and applied pursuant to this Section 6.02. If the Premises or any part thereof shall be damaged or destroyed by Casualty, and if the estimated cost of rebuilding, replacing or repairing the same shall exceed $50,000, Lessee promptly shall notify Lessor thereof.
 
(b) Substantial Condemnation During the Term. If a Condemnation shall, in Lessee’s good faith judgment, affect all or a substantial portion of the Premises and shall render the Premises unsuitable for restoration for continued use and occupancy in Lessee’s business, then Lessee may, not later than sixty (60) days after a determination has been made as to when possession of the Premises must be delivered with respect to such Condemnation, deliver to Lessor (i) notice of its intention (“Notice of Intention”) to terminate this Lease on the next rental payment date which occurs after the earlier of (a) ninety (90) days after the delivery of such notice or (b) delivery of the Premises to the condemning authority (the “Condemnation Termination Date”), and (ii) a certificate of an authorized officer of Lessee describing the event giving rise to such termination and stating that Lessee has determined that such Condemnation has rendered the Premises unsuitable for restoration for continued use and occupancy in Lessee’s business. This Lease shall terminate on the Condemnation Termination Date, except with respect to obligations and liabilities of Lessee hereunder, actual or contingent, which have accrued on or prior to the Condemnation Termination Date, upon payment by Lessee of (1) all Basic Rent, additional rent and other sums due and payable hereunder to and including the Condemnation Termination Date, and (2) an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate of all Basic Rent, additional rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease, from the Condemnation Termination Date for what would be the then unexpired Term in the absence of such Condemnation, discounted at the rate equal to the then current yield on United States Treasury Notes having a maturity as of the stated date for expiration of the then existing Term of this Lease, plus 2% per annum (the “Reference Rate”), over (b) the Net Proceeds. The Net Proceeds shall belong to Lessor.
 
-16-

 
(c) Substantial Casualty During the Last Two Years of the Term. If an insured Casualty shall, in Lessee’s good-faith judgment, affect all or a substantial portion of the Premises during the last two (2) years of the Term and shall render the Premises unsuitable for restoration for continued use and occupancy in Lessee’s business, then Lessee may, not later than one hundred and fifty (150) days after such Casualty, deliver to Lessor (i) notice of its intention to terminate this Lease on the next rental payment date which occurs not less than sixty (60) days after the delivery of such notice (the “Casualty Termination Date”), (ii) a certificate of an authorized officer of Lessee describing the event giving rise to such termination and stating that Lessee has determined that such Casualty has rendered the Premises unsuitable for restoration for continued use and occupancy in Lessee’s business, and (iii) documentation to the effect that termination of this Lease will not be in violation of any agreement then in effect with which Lessee is obligated to comply pursuant to this Lease. Upon payment by Lessee of all Basic Rent, additional rent and other sums then due and payable hereunder to and including the Casualty Termination Date, this Lease shall terminate on the Casualty Termination Date except with respect to obligations and liabilities of Lessee hereunder, actual or contingent, which have accrued on or prior to the Casualty Termination Date, and the Net Proceeds shall belong to Lessor.
 
(d) Less Than Substantial Condemnation or Any Casualty Prior to the Last Two Years of the Term. If, after a Condemnation or Casualty, Lessee does not give or does not have the right to give notice of its intention to terminate this Lease as provided in subsection 6.02(b) or (c), then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and Lessee shall, at its expense, rebuild, replace or repair the Premises in conformity with the requirements of subsections 2.01, 2.02 and 5.03 so as to restore the Premises (in the case of Condemnation, as nearly as practicable) to the condition, and character thereof immediately prior to such Casualty or Condemnation; provided that Lessee and Lessor shall use reasonable efforts to consider modifications which would make the Improvements a more contemporary design. To the extent the Net Proceeds with respect to any Casualty are less than $100,000, such amount shall be paid to Lessee to be used to rebuild, replace or repair the Premises in a lien free and good and workmanlike manner. To the extent the Net Proceeds from any Casualty are $100,000 or greater, such amount shall be paid to the Proceeds Trustee and prior to any such rebuilding, replacement or repair, Lessee shall determine the maximum cost thereof (the “Restoration Cost”), which amount shall be reasonably acceptable to Lessor. The Restoration Cost shall be paid on a pro rata basis out of Lessee’s own funds and the Net Proceeds to the extent that the Restoration Cost exceeds the Net Proceeds payable in connection with such occurrence, after which expenditure Lessee shall be entitled to receive the Net Proceeds from the Proceeds Trustee, but only against (i) certificates of Lessee delivered to Lessor and the Proceeds Trustee from time to time but no more often than monthly as such work of rebuilding, replacement and repair progresses, each such certificate describing the work for which Lessee is requesting payment and the cost incurred by Lessee in connection therewith and stating that Lessee has not theretofore received payment for such work and (ii) such additional documentation or conditions as Lessor or the Proceeds Trustee may reasonably require, including, but not limited to, copies of all contracts and subcontracts relating to restoration, architects’ certifications, title policy updates and lien waivers or releases. Any Net Proceeds remaining after final payment has been made for such work and after Lessee has been reimbursed for any portions it contributed to the Restoration Cost with respect to any Casualty shall be paid to Lessee and with respect to any Condemnation shall be paid to Lessor. In the event of any temporary Condemnation, this Lease shall remain in full effect and Lessee shall be entitled to receive the Net Proceeds allocable to such temporary Condemnation, except that any portion of the Net Proceeds allocable to the period after the expiration or termination of the Term shall be paid to Lessor. If the cost of any rebuilding, replacement or repair required to be made by Lessee pursuant to this subsection 6.02(d) shall exceed the amount of such Net Proceeds, the deficiency shall be paid by Lessee. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event of a less than substantial Condemnation, Lessee and Lessor shall equitably adjust the Basic Rent to take into consideration any diminished utility of the Premises after completion of any rebuilding, replacement or repair required to be made by Lessee pursuant to this Section 6.02(d).

-17-

 
Section 6.03 Insurance.
 
(a) Lessee will maintain insurance on the Premises of the following character:
 
(i) Insurance (on an occurrence basis) against all risks of direct physical loss (“Causes of Loss - Special Form”), including loss by fire, lightning, flooding (if the Premises are in a flood zone), earthquakes (if the Premises are in an earthquake zone), and other risks which at the time are included under “extended coverage” endorsements, on ISO form CP1030, or its equivalent, in amounts sufficient to prevent Lessor and Lessee from becoming a coinsurer of any loss but in any event in amounts not less than 100% of the actual replacement value of the Improvements, exclusive of foundations and excavations, without any exclusions other than standard printed exclusions and without exclusion for terrorism and with deductibles of not more than $25,000 per occurrence (except with respect to wind damage, which shall have a deductible of no more than $250,000);
 
(ii) Commercial general liability insurance and/or umbrella liability insurance (on an occurrence basis), on ISO form CG 0001 0798, or its equivalent, against claims for bodily injury, death or property damage occurring on, in or about the Premises in the minimum amounts of $5,000,000 for bodily injury or death to any one person, $10,000,000 for any one accident and $5,000,000 for property damage to others or in such greater amounts as are then customary for property similar in use to the Premises, with deletions of contractual liability exclusions with respect to personal injury and with defense to be provided as an additional benefit and not within the limits of liability and with deductibles of not more than $25,000 per occurrence;

-18-

 
(iii) Rent loss insurance or business interruption insurance in an amount sufficient to cover loss of rents from the Premises pursuant to this Lease for a period of at least twelve (12) months, with endorsements to cover interruption of utilities outside of the Premises;
 
(iv) Worker’s compensation insurance to the extent required by the law of the state in which the Premises are located;
 
(v) Boiler and machinery insurance in respect of any boilers and similar apparatus located on the Premises in the minimum amount of $500,000 or in such greater amounts as to adequately insure the Premises;
 
(vi) During any period of construction on the Premises, builder’s risk insurance on a completed value, nonreporting basis for the total cost of such alterations or improvements, and workers’ compensation insurance as required by applicable law. This coverage may be provided by Lessee’s all risk property insurance pursuant to Section 6.03(a)(i) herein; and
 
(vii) Such other insurance in such kinds and amounts, with such deductibles and against such risks, as Mortgagee may reasonably require or as is commonly obtained in the case of property similar in use to the Premises and located in the state in which the Premises are located by prudent owners of such property.
 
Such insurance shall be written by companies authorized to do business in the state where the Premises are located and carrying a claims paying ability rating of at least A:XII by A.M. Best or A by Standard and Poor's, as applicable, and with the exception of workers’ compensation insurance, shall name Lessor as an additional insured as its interest may appear.
 
(b) Every such policy provided pursuant to Section 6.03(a)(i), above shall (i) bear a mortgagee endorsement in favor of Mortgagee under any Mortgage, and any loss under any such policy shall be payable to the Mortgagee which has a first lien on such interest (if there is more than one first Mortgagee, then to the trustee for such Mortgagees) to be held and applied by Mortgagee toward restoration pursuant to Section 6.02, and (ii) contain an ordinance or law coverage endorsement. Every such policy with the exception of workers’ compensation insurance, shall name the Mortgagee as an additional insured as its interest may appear. Every policy referred to in subsection 6.03(a) shall provide that it will not be cancelled or amended except after thirty (30) days written notice to Lessor and the Mortgagee and that it shall not be invalidated by any act or negligence of Lessor, Lessee or any person or entity having an interest in the Premises, nor by occupancy or use of the Premises for purposes more hazardous than permitted by such policy, nor by any foreclosure or other proceedings relating to the Premises, nor by change in title to or ownership of the Premises. The “Proceeds Trustee” shall be a financial institution selected by Lessor and reasonably approved by Lessee and may be the Mortgagee.
 
(c) Lessee shall deliver to Lessor (i) upon request copies of the applicable insurance policies and (ii) original or duplicate certificates of insurance, reasonably satisfactory to Lessor evidencing the existence of all insurance which is required to be maintained by Lessee hereunder and payment of all premiums therefor, such delivery to be made (i) upon the execution and delivery hereof and (ii) at least ten (10) days prior to the expiration of any such insurance. Lessee shall not obtain or carry separate insurance concurrent in form or contributing in the event of loss with that required by this Section 6.03 unless Lessor is named an additional insured therein and unless there is a mortgagee endorsement in favor of Mortgagee with loss payable as provided herein. Lessee shall immediately notify Lessor whenever any such separate insurance is obtained and shall deliver to Lessor the policies or certificates evidencing the same. Any insurance required hereunder may be provided under blanket policies, provided that the Premises are specified therein.
 
-19-

 
(d) If an Event of Default shall occur, upon the request of Lessor, Lessee shall, in addition to and concurrently with the payment of Basic Rent as required in Section 1.05 hereof, pay one-twelfth of the amount (as estimated by Lessor or Mortgagee, as applicable) of the annual premiums for insurance (collectively, the “Insurance Escrow Payments”) required under this Section 6.03 next becoming due and payable with respect to the Premises. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessee shall also be required to pay into escrow any other amounts required by Mortgagee. Lessee shall also pay to Lessor on demand therefor the amount by which the actual insurance premiums exceed the payment by Lessee required in this subsection.
 
(e) The requirements of this Section 6.03 shall not be construed to negate or modify Lessee’s obligations under Section 5.04.
 
(f) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Lease to the contrary, each party hereto hereby waives any and all rights of recovery, claim, action or cause of action, against the other party and its agents, officers, and employees, for any loss or damage that may occur to the Premises, including the Improvements, regardless of cause or origin, including the negligence of the other party and its agents, officers, and employees, without prejudice to any waiver or indemnity provisions applicable to Lessee and any limitation of liability provisions applicable to Lessor hereunder, of which provisions Lessee shall notify all insurers.
 
ARTICLE VII
 
Section 7.01 Conditional Limitations; Default Provisions.
 
(a) Any of the following occurrences or acts shall constitute an Event of Default under this Lease:
 
(i) If Lessee shall (1) fail to pay any Basic Rent, additional rent or other sum when due (provided that for such failure to pay to constitute an Event of Default such failure must continue to exist after Lessor has provided Lessee with five business (5) days written notice of Lessee’s failure to timely pay such sums and provided that Lessor is obligated to provide such written notice no more than two times for any consecutive twelve (12) month period) or (2) fail to observe or perform any other provision hereof and such nonmonetary failure shall continue for thirty (30) days after written notice to Lessee of such failure (provided that, in the case of any such failure which cannot be cured by the payment of money and cannot with diligence be cured within such thirty (30) day period, if Lessee shall commence promptly to cure the same and thereafter prosecute the curing thereof with diligence, the time within which such failure may be cured shall be extended for such period not to exceed one hundred and eighty (180) days as is necessary to complete the curing thereof with diligence);

-20-

 
(ii) If any representation or warranty of Lessee set forth in any certificate provided by Lessee pursuant to this Lease, shall prove to be incorrect in any material adverse respect as of the time when the same shall have been made in a way adverse to Lessor and Lessor shall suffer a loss or detriment as a result thereof, including, without limitation, the taking of any action (including, without limitation, the demise of the Premises to Lessee herein) in reliance upon such representation or warranty and, in each case, the facts shall not be conformed to the representation and warranty as soon as practicable in the circumstances (but in no event to exceed that period of time that in Lessor’s reasonable judgment is necessary to complete the curing thereof with diligence) after written notice to Lessee from Lessor of such inaccuracy and Lessor restored to the position it would have enjoyed had such representation or warranty been accurate at the time it was made;
 
(iii) If Lessee shall file a petition in bankruptcy or for reorganization or for an arrangement pursuant to any federal or state law or shall be adjudicated a bankrupt or become insolvent or shall make an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or if a petition proposing the adjudication of Lessee as a bankrupt or its reorganization pursuant to any federal or state bankruptcy law or any similar federal or state law shall be filed in any court and Lessee shall consent to or acquiesce in the filing thereof or such petition shall not be discharged or denied within ninety (90) days after the filing thereof;
 
(iv) If a receiver, trustee or conservator of Lessee or of all or substantially all of the assets of Lessee or of the Premises or Lessee’s or estate therein shall be appointed in any proceeding brought by Lessee, or if any such receiver, trustee or conservator shall be appointed in any proceeding brought against Lessee and shall not be discharged within ninety (90) days after such appointment, or if Lessee shall consent to or acquiesce in such appointment;
 
(v) If the Premises shall have been abandoned for a period of thirty (30) consecutive days;
 
(vi) If a Letter of Credit has been posted as the Security Deposit or other security hereunder, and the issuer of the Letter of Credit cancels, terminates or refuses to honor it, and Lessee shall fail to renew the Letter of Credit within thirty (30) days or shall fail to post a cash equivalent amount of the Letter of Credit or a replacement letter of credit within fifteen (15) days after notice of such cancellation, termination or refusal; and
 
(vii) If a monetary Event of Default occurs under this Lease more than three (3) times within any consecutive twelve (12) month period, irrespective of whether or not such Event of Default is cured.
 
(b) If an Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing, Lessor shall have the right to give Lessee notice of Lessor’s termination of the Term. Upon the giving of such notice, the Term and the estate hereby granted shall expire and terminate on such date as fully and completely and with the same effect as if such date were the date herein fixed for the expiration of the Term, and all rights of Lessee hereunder shall expire and terminate, but Lessee shall remain liable as hereinafter provided.
 
-21-

 
(c) If an Event of Default shall have happened and be continuing, Lessor shall have the immediate right, whether or not the Term shall have been terminated pursuant to subsection 7.01(b), to reenter and repossess the Premises and the right to remove all persons and property (subject to Section 3.02) therefrom by summary proceedings, ejectment or any other legal action or in any lawful manner Lessor determines to be necessary or desirable. Lessor shall be under no liability by reason of any such reentry, repossession or removal. No such reentry, repossession or removal shall be construed as an election by Lessor to terminate the Term unless a notice of such termination is given to Lessee pursuant to subsection 7.01(b) or unless such termination is decreed by a court.
 
(d) At any time or from time to time after a reentry, repossession or removal pursuant to subsection 7.01(c), whether or not the Term shall have been terminated pursuant to subsection 7.01(b), Lessor may relet the Premises for the account of Lessee, in the name of Lessee or Lessor or otherwise. Lessor may collect any rents payable by reason of such reletting. Lessor shall not be liable for any failure to relet the Premises or for any failure to collect any rent due upon any such reletting. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Lessor agrees to make reasonable efforts to mitigate its damages under this Lease in the event Lessee actually vacates or advises Lessor that it is, as of a specified date, to vacate the Premises. The phrase “reasonable efforts,” as it relates to Lessor’s duty to attempt to relet the Premises, shall require Lessor to do only the following: (i) notify Lessor’s management company, if any, in writing of the availability of the Premises for reletting and authorize same to advertise as appropriate, (ii) post Lessor’s leasing contact telephone number in an appropriate area of the Premises, and (iii) show the Premises to any prospective Lessee interested in the Premises and to any prospective Lessee specifically referred to Lessor by Lessee. Under any requirement of Lessor to use “reasonable efforts” as described herein, (i) Lessor shall not be required to relet the Premises ahead of any other properties in the same market not producing any income to Lessor; (ii) Lessor shall be entitled to consider Lessee quality, Lessee-mix, the financial condition of any prospective Lessee, the nature of the Premises, the proposed use of the Premises by any prospective Lessee, and any rights of existing sublessees located in the Premises, in making any leasing decision without being deemed to have violated its mitigation requirement hereunder; and (iii) under any new lease entered into by Lessor, Lessor may relet all or any portion of the Premises to create an appropriate block of space for a new Lessee, may relet for a greater or lesser term than that remaining at that time under this Lease, and may include free rent, concessions, inducements, alterations and upgrades in the new lease. If a reletting occurs, Lessor shall recoup all of its expenses of reletting (including, without limitation, all expenses relating to remodeling, alterations, repairs, capital improvements, brokerage fees, decorating fees, and fees for architects, designers, space planners and attorneys) before Lessee is entitled to a credit on the damages owed by Lessee hereunder. If Lessor shall do all the foregoing then, anything in this Lease, or any statute, or common law rule to the contrary notwithstanding, Lessor shall be deemed to have met its duty (if any) to mitigate its damages hereunder.
 
(e) No expiration or termination of the Term pursuant to subsection 7.01(b), by operation of law or otherwise, and no reentry, repossession or removal pursuant to subsection 7.01(c) or otherwise, and no reletting of the Premises pursuant to subsection 7.01(d) or otherwise, shall relieve Lessee of its liabilities and obligations hereunder, all of which shall survive such expiration, termination, reentry, repossession, removal or reletting.
 
-22-

 
(f) In the event of any expiration or termination of the Term or reentry or repossession of the Premises or removal of persons or property therefrom by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, Lessee shall pay to Lessor all Basic Rent, additional rent and other sums required to be paid by Lessee, in each case to and including the date of such expiration, termination, reentry, repossession or removal, and, thereafter, Lessee shall, until the end of what would have been the Term in the absence of such expiration, termination, reentry, repossession or removal and whether or not the Premises shall have been relet, be liable to Lessor for, and shall pay to Lessor, as liquidated and agreed current damages:  (i) all Basic Rent, all additional rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease by Lessee in the absence of any such expiration, termination, reentry, repossession or removal, together with all expenses of Lessor in connection with such reletting (including, without limitation, all repossession costs, brokerage commissions, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including, without limitation, fees and expenses of appellate proceedings), employee’s expenses, alteration costs and expenses of necessary preparation for such reletting), less (ii) the net proceeds, if any, of any reletting effected for the account of Lessee pursuant to subsection 7.01(d). Lessee shall pay such liquidated and agreed current damages on the dates on which rent would be payable under this Lease in the absence of such expiration, termination, reentry, repossession or removal, and Lessor shall be entitled to recover the same from Lessee on each such date.
 
(g) At any time after any such expiration or termination of the Term or reentry or repossession of the Premises or removal of persons or property therefrom by reason of the occurrence of an Event of Default, whether or not Lessor shall have collected any liquidated and agreed current damages pursuant to subsection 7.01(f), Lessor shall be entitled to recover from Lessee, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor on demand, as and for liquidated and agreed final damages for Lessee’s default and in lieu of all liquidated and agreed current damages beyond the date of such demand (it being agreed that it would be impracticable or extremely difficult to fix the actual damages), an amount equal to the excess, if any, of (a) the aggregate of all Basic Rent, additional rent and other sums which would be payable under this Lease, in each case from the date of such demand (or, if it be earlier, to date to which Lessee shall have satisfied in full its obligations under subsection 7.01(f) to pay liquidated and agreed current damages) for what would be the then unexpired Term in the absence of such expiration, termination, reentry, repossession or removal, discounted at the Reference Rate, over (b) the then fair rental value of the Premises, discounted at the Reference Rate for the same period. If any law shall limit the amount of liquidated final damages to less than the amount above agreed upon, Lessor shall be entitled to the maximum amount allowable under such law.
 
(h) To the extent the same may lawfully be waived, Lessee expressly, knowingly and voluntarily waives all constitutional, statutory and common law bonding requirements, including the requirement under Section 83.12, Florida Statutes (2006) that Lessor file a bond payable to Lessee in at least double the sum demanded by Lessor (or double the value of the property sought to be distrained), it being the intention of the parties that no bond shall be required to be filed by Lessor in any such distress action.

-23-

 
Section 7.02 Bankruptcy or Insolvency.
 
(a) If Lessee shall become a debtor in a case filed under Chapter 7 or Chapter 11 of the Bankruptcy Code and Lessee or Lessee’s trustee shall fail to elect to assume this Lease within sixty (60) days after the filing of such petition or such additional time as provided by the court within such sixty (60) day period, this Lease shall be deemed to have been rejected. Immediately thereupon, Lessor shall be entitled to possession of the Premises without further obligation to Lessee or Lessee’s trustee, and this Lease, upon the election of Lessor, shall terminate, but Lessor’s right to be compensated for damages (including, without limitation, liquidated damages pursuant to any provision hereof) or the exercise of any other remedies in any such proceeding shall survive, whether or not this Lease shall be terminated.
 
(b) Neither the whole nor any portion of Lessee’s interest in this Lease or its estate in the Premises shall pass to any trustee, receiver, conservator, assignee for the benefit of creditors or any other person or entity, by operation of law or otherwise under the laws of any state having jurisdiction of the person or property of Lessee, unless Lessor shall have consented to such transfer. No acceptance by Lessor of rent or any other payments from any such trustee, receiver, assignee, person or other entity shall be deemed to constitute such consent by Lessor nor shall it be deemed a waiver of Lessor’s right to terminate this Lease for any transfer of Lessee’s interest under this Lease without such consent.
 
(c) In the event of an assignment of Lessee’s interests pursuant to this Section 7.02, the right of any assignee to extend the Term for an Extended Term beyond the Primary Term or the then Extended Term of this Lease shall be extinguished.
 
Section 7.03 Additional Rights of Lessor.
 
(a) Except as provided in Section 7.01(g), no right or remedy hereunder shall be exclusive of any other right or remedy, but shall be cumulative and in addition to any other right or remedy hereunder or now or hereafter existing. Failure to insist upon the strict performance of any provision hereof or to exercise any option, right, power or remedy contained herein shall not constitute a waiver or relinquishment thereof for the future. Receipt by Lessor of any Basic Rent, additional rent or other sums payable hereunder with knowledge of the breach of any provision hereof shall not constitute waiver of such breach, and no waiver by Lessor of any provision hereof shall be deemed to have been made unless made in writing. Lessor shall be entitled to injunctive relief in case of the violation, or attempted or threatened violation, of any of the provisions hereof, or to a decree compelling performance of any of the provisions hereof, or to any other remedy allowed to Lessor by law or equity.
 
(b) Lessee hereby waives and surrenders for itself and all those claiming under it, including creditors of all kinds, (i) any right and privilege which it or any of them may have to redeem the Premises or to have a continuance of this Lease after termination of Lessee’s right of occupancy by order or judgment of any court or by any legal process or writ, or under the terms of this Lease, or after the termination of the Term as herein provided, (ii) the benefits of any law which exempts property from liability for debt and (iii) Lessee specifically waives any rights of redemption or reinstatement available by law or any successor law.

-24-

 
(c) If an Event of Default on the part of Lessee shall have occurred hereunder and be continuing, then, without thereby waiving such default, Lessor may, but shall be under no obligation to, take all action, including, without limitation, entry upon the Premises, to perform the obligation of Lessee hereunder immediately and without notice in the case of any emergency as may be reasonably determined by Lessor and upon five (5) business days notice to Lessee in other cases. All reasonable expenses incurred by Lessor in connection therewith, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and expenses (including, without limitation, those incurred in connection with any appellate proceedings), shall constitute additional rent under this Lease and shall be paid by Lessee to Lessor upon demand.
 
(d) If Lessee shall be in default in the performance of any of its obligations under this Lease beyond any applicable grace or cure period hereunder, Lessee shall pay to Lessor, on demand, all expenses incurred by Lessor as a result thereof, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses (including, without limitation, those incurred in connection with any appellate proceedings) and any additional sums (including any late charge, default penalties, interest and fees of the counsel of Mortgagee) which are payable by Lessor to its Mortgagee by reason of Lessee's late payment or non-payment of Basic Rent. If Lessor shall be made a party to any litigation commenced against Lessee and Lessee shall fail to provide Lessor with counsel approved by Lessor and pay the expenses thereof, Lessee shall pay all costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses in connection with such litigation (including, without limitation, fees and expenses incurred in connection with any appellate proceedings).
 
(e) If Lessee shall fail to pay when due any Basic Rent, additional rent or other sum required to be paid by Lessee hereunder, Lessor shall be entitled to collect from Lessee as additional rent and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, in addition to such Basic Rent, additional rent or other sum, annual interest on the delinquency equal to the Late Rate from the date due until paid. The Late Rate shall be the lesser of (i) fifteen percent (15%) per annum or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. In addition to all other remedies Lessor has hereunder, if Lessee shall fail to pay any Basic Rent, additional rent or other sum, as and when required to be paid by Lessee hereunder prior to the expiration for the period of payment pursuant to subsection 7.01(a)(i)(1), Lessor shall be entitled to collect from Lessee, and Lessee shall pay to Lessor, as additional rent, a late payment charge in an amount equal to 1% of the amount shown in the notice as unpaid.

Lessee shall also furnish to Lessor within forty five (45) days after the end of each quarter unaudited internal financial statements and all other quarterly reports of Lessee (which, at a minimum, shall include a balance sheet of Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries, if any, as of the end of such quarter and statements of profits and losses of Lessee and its consolidated subsidiaries, if any, for such quarter, setting forth in each case, in comparative form, the corresponding figures for the similar quarter of the preceding year in reasonable detail and scope) certified by Lessee’s chief financial officer.

Section 9.10 Consent of Lessor. Except as specifically set forth in this Lease, all consents and approvals to be granted by Lessor shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and Lessee’s sole remedy against Lessor for the failure to grant any consent shall be to seek injunctive relief.

Section 9.11 Quiet Enjoyment. Lessor agrees that, subject to the rights of Lessor under this Lease, Lessee shall hold and enjoy the Premises during the term of this Lease, free from any hindrance or interference from Lessor or any party claiming by, through or under Lessor.
 
Section 9.12 Holding Over. If Lessee remains in possession of the Premises, or any part thereof, after the expiration or other termination of the Term, without Lessor’s express written consent, Lessee shall be guilty of an unlawful detention of the Premises and shall be liable to Lessor for damages for use of the Premises during the period of such unlawful detention at a rate equal to 1.5 times the Basic Rent and all other amounts which would be payable during the Term hereof (collectively, “Holdover Rent”), plus any consequential damages suffered by Lessor. In the event of such unlawful detention, Lessee shall indemnify and hold Lessor harmless from and against any and all claims, suits, proceedings, losses, damages, liabilities, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements, asserted against or incurred by Lessor, as a result of such unlawful detention.

For purposes of this Lease, the term “Government List” means (1) the Specialty Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons Lists maintained by the Office of Foreign Assets Control, United States Department of the Treasury (“OFAC”), (2) the Denied Persons List and the Entity List maintained by the United States Department of Commerce, (3) the List of Terrorists and List of Disbarred Parties maintained by the United States Department of State, (4) any other list of terrorists, terrorist organizations or narcotics traffickers maintained pursuant to any of the lists, laws, rules and regulations maintained by OFAC pursuant to any authorizing statute, Executive Order or regulation, (5) any other similar list maintained by the United States Department of State, the United States Department of Commerce or any other governmental authority or pursuant to any Executive Order of the President of the United States of America and (6) any list or qualification of “Designated Nationals” as defined in the Cuban Assets Control Regulations, 31 C.F.R.

Section 9.14 Financing and Subordination, Non-Disturbance and Attornment. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Lease, this Lease and Lessee's interest hereunder shall be subject, subordinate and inferior to any mortgage or other security instrument granted or entered into by Lessor in connection with the loan by which Lessor acquired the Premises from Lessee, and any mortgage or other security instrument hereafter placed upon the Premises by Lessor, and to any and all advances made or to be made thereunder, to the interest thereon, and all renewals, replacements and extensions thereof, provided that any such mortgage (or a separate non-disturbance agreement entered into between Lessee and the Mortgagee in whose favor such mortgage was granted) shall provide for the recognition of this Lease and all Lessee's rights hereunder unless and until an Event of Default. If Lessor desires to obtain or refinance any loan, Lessee shall execute any and all documents that such Mortgagee reasonably requires in connection with such financing, so long as the same do not materially adversely affect any right, benefit or privilege of Lessee under this Lease or materially increase Lessee's obligations under this Lease. 

-30-

 
Section 9.15 Disclaimer of Purchase Rights. Except for the limited rights of Lessee to acquire title to the Premises in accordance with the provisions of Section 6.02(b) hereof, nothing in this Lease is intended or shall operate to grant to Lessee any right of first refusal, right of first offer, purchase option, or similar right to elect to purchase or acquire the Premises or any portion thereof, and Lessee hereby expressly waives any and all such rights.
 
Section 9.16 Security Deposit.
 
(a) For its full and faithful performance of the terms of this Lease, Lessee will deposit or cause to be deposited with Lessor or Mortgagee, as Lessor shall designate, on or before the date hereof, Five Hundred Twenty-Eight Thousand Nine Hundred and 00/100 Dollars ($528,900.00) as a "Security Deposit," it being expressly understood that such Security Deposit shall not be considered an advance payment of any Basic Rent, additional rent or other sums payable under this Lease or a measure of Lessor's damages in case of an Event of Default.
 
(b) Payment of said Security Deposit shall be satisfied by Lessee’s deposit of cash or a Letter of Credit in said amount. Lessee shall have the right to freely substitute cash for a Letter of Credit or vice versa, and if paid in cash, any interest earned shall remain as an additional Security Deposit. If Lessor transfers its interest in the Premises during the Term to a transferee who assumes Lessor's obligations hereunder and to whom the Security Deposit is transferred, Lessor may assign the Security Deposit to the transferee and, thereafter, Lessor shall have no further liability for the return of such Security Deposit to Lessee. For the purposes herein, “Letter of Credit” shall mean an irrevocable standby letter of credit issued to Lessor by a financially sound national banking association or state chartered bank having assets in excess of $50,000,000,000 and otherwise reasonably acceptable to Lessor, the proceeds of which shall be available to Lessor without the need for Lessor to satisfy any requirements or conditions whatsoever other than delivery of (a) the original Letter of Credit along with Lessor’s sight draft to the issuing institution with reference to the appropriate letter of credit number for the Letter of Credit, as set forth therein and (b) (i) a certificate signed by Lessor certifying that an Event of Default has occurred and is continuing under the Lease, or (ii) a certificate signed by Lessor certifying that Lessee has failed to renew the Letter of Credit at least thirty (30) days prior to its stated expiration date. The Letter of Credit shall be valid for an initial period of one (1) year from and after the date of its issuance and, by its express terms, shall provide (i) that its term shall automatically be extended for successive one (1) year periods unless at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the initial one year term or any one year extension (as applicable) the issuer provides Lessor with written notification that it will not be extended, and (ii) that Lessor may assign (whether by way of outright or collateral assignment) all or any portion of its interest in the Letter of Credit to Mortgagee or any other person (including, without limitation, any third party purchaser).

(c) Upon the date Lessee files its 10K report for fiscal year 2007, and upon each subsequent filing of its 10K report thereafter, if according to such 10K report, Lessee then has (i) a Tangible Net Worth of at least $20 million and (ii) $10 million of EBITDA, then Lessor shall release $88,500.00 of the Security Deposit each year Lessee meets such criteria. For the purposes of this Lease, “Tangible Net Worth” shall mean at any date Lessee's total stockholders' equity as shown on Lessee’s most recent form 10-K, less any amount reported as goodwill, all as determined in accordance with GAAP. EBITDA shall mean earnings before the deduction of interest expenses, taxes, depreciation and amortization. This potential annual reduction of the Security Deposit will continue so long as there is no prior uncured Event of Default and until such time that the Security Deposit is reduced to $264,450. If at any time Lessee is not a publicly traded company, then Tangible Net Worth and EBITDA shall be determined based on Lessee’s most recent audited annual financial reports.

LANDLORD’S WAIVER AND CONSENT
 
THIS LANDLORD’S WAIVER AND CONSENT (“Waiver and Consent”) is made and entered into as of this _____ day __________, 2006 by and between NL VENTURES V PLANT CITY, L.P., a Texas limited partnership (“Landlord”), and LAURUS MASTER FUND, LTD., a Cayman Islands company (“Laurus”).
 
A.  Landlord is the owner of the real properly commonly known as 1602 Industrial Park Dr., Plant City, Florida 33566, and particularly described in the Lease described below (the “Premises”).
 
B.  Landlord has entered into that certain Lease Agreement, attached hereto as Exhibit A, dated of even date herewith (together with all amendments and modifications thereto and waivers thereof, the “Lease”) with Modtech Holdings, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Company”), with respect to the Premises.
 
C.  Laurus has entered into a Security Agreement (the “Security Agreement”) with Company and certain of Company’s affiliates, and to secure the obligations arising under such Security Agreement, Company has granted to Laurus a security interest in and lien upon certain assets of Company, including, without limitation, all of Company’s cash, cash equivalents, goods, inventory, machinery, equipment, and furniture and trade fixtures (such as equipment bolted to floors), together with all additions, substitutions, replacements and improvements to, and proceeds of, the foregoing, but excluding any of the items listed on Exhibit B attached hereto (collectively, the “Collateral”).
 
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of any financial accommodations extended by Laurus to Company and/or its affiliates at any time, and other good and valuable consideration the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
 
1.  Landlord acknowledges that (a) the Lease is in full force and effect and (b) Landlord is not aware of any existing default under the Lease.
 
2.  Landlord will use its best efforts to provide Laurus with written notice of any default by Company under the Lease resulting in termination of the Lease (a “Default Notice”). Laurus shall have at least fifteen (15) days following receipt of such Default Notice to cure such default, but Laurus shall not be under any obligation to cure any default by Company under the Lease. No action by Laurus pursuant to this Waiver and Consent shall be deemed to be an assumption by Laurus of any obligation under the Lease, and, except as provided in paragraphs 6 and 7 below, Laurus shall not have any obligation to Landlord.
 
3.  Landlord acknowledges the validity of Laurus’ lien on the Collateral and, until such time as the obligations of Company to Laurus are indefeasibly paid in full, Landlord subordinates to Laurus any interest in the Collateral, and Landlord agrees not to distrain or levy upon any Collateral or to assert any landlord lien, right of distraint or other claim against the Collateral for any reason.


 
4.  Prior to receipt of a Default Notice, Laurus or its representatives or invitees may, with reasonable notice to Landlord (provided that such notice shall not be required in the event Laurus reasonably believes such access is necessary to preserve or protect the Collateral), enter upon the Premises at any time without any interference by Landlord to inspect or remove any or all of the Collateral, including, without limitation, by public auction or private sale pursuant to the provisions of paragraph 7 below.
 
5. Upon receipt of a Default Notice, Landlord will permit Laurus and its representatives and invitees to occupy and remain on the Premises; provided, that (a) such period of occupation (the “Disposition Period”) shall not exceed ninety (90) days following receipt by Laurus of a Default Notice or if the Lease has expired by its own terms (absent a default thereunder) up to thirty (30) days following such expiration; (b) for the actual period of occupancy by Laurus, Laurus will pay to Landlord the rent, utilities and taxes due under the Lease, pro-rated on a per diem basis determined on a 30-day month, and shall provide Landlord with a certificate of insurance naming Landlord as an additional insured covering property damage and personal injury arising on the Premises from such removals by Laurus of any Collateral therefrom; and (c) such amounts paid by Laurus to Landlord shall exclude any rent adjustments, indemnity payments or similar amounts for which the Company remains liable under the Lease for default, holdover status or other similar charges. If any injunction or stay is issued that prohibits Laurus from removing the Collateral, the commencement of the Disposition Period will be deferred (or, if the Disposition Period has started, it will stop) until such injunction or stay is lifted or removed with respect to Laurus. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Laurus shall be obligated to pay the items set forth in (b) above during the Disposition Period (and any deferment or postponement of same) unless both Laurus is stayed from removing the Collateral and Landlord is stayed from re-letting the Premises. If Laurus fails to remove the Collateral by the end of the Disposition Period, then Landlord shall have the right to remove there from any Collateral remaining on the Premises at the end of the Disposition Period and to store such Collateral at Laurus’s cost and expense unless and until Laurus shall notify Landlord in writing of Laurus’s abandonment of such Collateral. If Laurus delivers such a written notice of abandonment of such Collateral to Landlord, then such Collateral shall be deemed abandoned by Laurus and Landlord shall be entitled, though not obligated, to dispose of the Collateral in any manner it sees fit with no compensation or liability whatsoever to Laurus or Company.
 
6. During any Disposition Period, (a) Laurus and its representatives and invitees may inspect, repossess, remove and otherwise deal with the Collateral, and Laurus may advertise and conduct public auctions or private sales of the Collateral at the Premises, in each case without interference by Landlord or liability of Laurus to Landlord, so long as Laurus fulfills its obligations hereunder; and (b) Laurus shall make the Premises available for inspection by Landlord and prospective tenants and shall cooperate in Landlord’s reasonable efforts to re-lease the Premises. If Laurus conducts a public auction or private sale of the Collateral at the Premises, Laurus shall use reasonable efforts to notify Landlord first and to hold such auction or sale in a manner which would not unduly disrupt Landlord’s or any other tenant’s use of the Premises.


 
 
7. Laurus shall promptly repair, at Laurus’ expense, or reimburse Landlord for any physical damage to the Premises actually caused by the conduct of such auction or sale and any removal of Collateral by or through Laurus (ordinary wear and tear excluded). Laurus shall not be liable for any diminution in value of the Premises caused by the absence of Collateral removed, and Laurus shall not have any duty or obligation to remove or dispose of any Collateral or any other property left on the Premises by Company.
 
8. All notices hereunder shall be in writing, sent by certified mail, return receipt requested or by telecopy with verified receipt, to the respective parties at the addresses set forth on the signature page hereto or at such other address as the receiving party shall designate in writing.
 
9. This Waiver and Consent may be executed in any number of several counterparts, shall be governed and controlled by, and interpreted under, the laws of the State of New York, and shall inure to the benefit of Laurus and its successors and assigns and shall be binding upon Landlord and its successors amid assigns (including any transferees of the Premises).
