Offer to Purchase for Cash up to 1,167,400 Shares of its Common Stock at a Purchase Price of
$1.12 Per Share

______________________________________

THE TENDER OFFER, PRORATION PERIOD, AND WITHDRAWAL RIGHTS WILL EXPIRE AT 5:00 P.M., EASTERN TIME, ON AUGUST 15, 2007, UNLESS THE TENDER OFFER IS EXTENDED.

______________________________________


Hudson Technologies, Inc., a New York corporation (the “Company”, “we”, or “us”), is offering to purchase up to 1,167,400 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), at a price of $1.12 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions described in this Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal (which together, as they may be amended and supplemented from time to time, constitute the “Tender Offer”).

The Company intends to utilize borrowings totaling $1,307,488 under its existing credit facility, which amounts will be used to purchase and retire up to 1,167,400 shares of Common Stock in the Tender Offer. See Sections 2 & 9. On the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer, we will pay a single per share price of $1.12, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, that we will pay for shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in the Tender Offer. We will purchase only shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. However, because of the “odd lot” priority, proration and conditional tender provisions described in this Offer to Purchase, we may not purchase all of the shares tendered if more than the number of shares we seek to purchase are properly tendered and not withdrawn. We will return shares that we do not purchase because of proration promptly after the Tender Offer expires. See Section 3.

The Tender Offer is not conditioned upon any minimum number of shares being tendered or any financing condition. The Tender Offer is, however, subject to certain other conditions. See Section 7.

Our directors and executive officers have advised us that they do not intend to tender any shares in the Tender Offer. See Section 2.

Questions and requests for assistance may be directed to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (the “Information Agent”), at their address and telephone number set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. Requests for additional copies of the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal or the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery should be directed to the Information Agent.


June 29, 2007

SUMMARY TERM SHEET
 
We are providing this summary term sheet for your convenience. We sometimes refer to the shares of our Common Stock as the “shares.” This summary term sheet highlights the material information in this Offer to Purchase, but you should realize that it does not describe all of the details of the Tender Offer to the same extent described elsewhere in this Offer to Purchase. We urge you to read the entire Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal because they contain the full details of the Tender Offer. We have included references to the sections of this Offer to Purchase where you will find a more complete discussion where helpful.
 
Who is offering to purchase my shares?
 
Hudson Technologies, Inc.
 
What will be the purchase price for the shares and what will be the form of payment?
 
The price for the Tender Offer is $1.12 per share, which represents the closing market price for the shares on June 28, 2007, the last full trading day prior to the commencement of the Tender Offer.
 
If your shares are purchased in the Tender Offer, we will pay you the purchase price in cash, less any applicable withholding taxes and without interest, promptly after the Tender Offer expires. See Sections 1 and 5. Under no circumstances will we pay interest on the purchase price, even if there is a delay in making payment.
 
How many shares is the Company offering to purchase in the Tender Offer?
 
We are offering to purchase up to 1,167,400 shares of our Common Stock, $0.01 par value per share. The 1,167,400 shares represent approximately 4.5 % of our issued and outstanding Common Stock prior to the Transactions (as defined below). See Section 1. If fewer shares are properly tendered, we will purchase all shares that are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. If more than 1,167,400 shares are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, we will purchase all shares tendered on a pro rata basis, except for “odd lots” (lots of less than 100 shares), which we will purchase on a priority basis, and except for each conditional tender whose condition was not met, which we will not purchase (except as described in Section 6). The Tender Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of shares being tendered or on any financing condition, but is subject to certain other conditions. See Section 7.
 
How will the Company pay for the shares?
 
Assuming that the maximum of 1,167,400 shares are tendered in the Tender Offer at the purchase price of $1.12 per share, the aggregate purchase price will be approximately $1,307,488. We anticipate that we will pay for the shares tendered in the Tender Offer utilizing borrowings under the Company’s existing credit facility.
 
How long do I have to tender my shares; can the Tender Offer be extended, amended or terminated?
 
You may tender your shares until the Tender Offer expires. The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 PM, Eastern Time, on August 15, 2007, unless extended (such date and time, as they may be extended, the “Expiration Date” and “Expiration Time,” respectively). See Section 1. If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee holds your shares, it is likely the nominee has established an earlier deadline for you to act to instruct the nominee to accept the Tender Offer on your behalf. We urge you to contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee to find out the nominee’s deadline. You have an earlier deadline (three business days prior to the Expiration Date) if you wish to tender shares held in the 401(K) Plan. See the “Letter to Hudson Technologies, Inc. 401(K) Savings Plan Participants” sent separately to each participant of the plan. See Section 3.
 
We may choose to extend the Tender Offer at any time and for any reason, subject to applicable laws. See Section 15. We cannot assure you that we will extend the Tender Offer or indicate the length of any extension that we may provide. If we extend the Tender Offer, we will delay the acceptance of any shares that have been tendered. We can also amend the Tender Offer in our sole discretion or terminate the Tender Offer under certain circumstances. See Sections 7 and 15.

5


 
How will I be notified if the Company extends the Tender Offer or amends the terms of the Tender Offer?
 
If we extend the Tender Offer, we will issue a press release announcing the extension and the new Expiration Time by 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the next business day after the previously scheduled Expiration Time. We will announce any amendment to the Tender Offer by making a public announcement of the amendment. See Section 15.
 
What is the purpose of the Tender Offer?

This Tender Offer is being made in connection with separate transactions involving the Company and certain members of its management, as buyers, and Fleming US Discovery Fund III, L.P. and Fleming US Offshore Discovery Fund III, L.P. (hereinafter collectively “Fleming”), as sellers, pursuant to which Fleming will sell to the buyers an aggregate of between 14,911,600 and 16,079,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock (collectively, the “Transactions”). Pursuant to certain Stock Purchase Agreements, dated June 28, 2007, between certain members of our management, which members include certain officers and one key employee of the Company (the “Purchasing Members”), and Fleming US Discovery Fund III, L.P. (the “Management Agreements”), on June 28, 2007 the Purchasing Members purchased from Fleming US Discovery Fund III, L.P., for their individual accounts with their own funds, a total of 9,230,800 shares of Common Stock (“Management Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.65 per share, for a total consideration of $6,000,020. In addition, pursuant to a certain Stock Purchase Agreement, dated June 28, 2007 between the Company and Fleming (the “Agreement”), on June 28, 2007 the Company purchased from Fleming, and retired, a total of 5,680,800 shares of Common Stock (the “Retired Shares”) at a purchase price of $0.65 per share, for a total consideration of $3,692,520. As part of the Agreement, the Company has agreed to make this Tender Offer to existing shareholders and intends to utilize borrowings totaling $1,307,488 under its existing credit line facility (the “Tender Offer Funds”) for that purpose. See Sections 5, 9 and 11.

To the extent that the shareholders do not elect to tender their shares in the Company’s Tender Offer, and some or all of the Tender Offer Funds have not been used in the Tender Offer, following expiration of the Tender Offer, the Company will, in accordance with the Agreement, utilize all of the remaining Tender Offer Funds to buy back and retire additional shares from Fleming at the price per share offered in the Tender Offer (the “Contingent Purchase”). Fleming has advised us that it does not intend to tender any of its shares in the Tender Offer.

In accordance with Rule 13e-4(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”) the Contingent Purchase will not occur until at least ten (10) business days after the expiration of the Tender Offer.

The making of this Tender Offer was made in connection with Fleming’s agreement to sell the Retired Shares to the Company at a discount to the market price, in order to provide all shareholders with an opportunity, based upon each shareholder’s pro-rata ownership interest, to participate in the Company’s decision to buy-back and retire an aggregate of $5,000,008 of its Common Stock and to thereby receive a return of some of their prior investment in the Company if they so elect. The Tender Offer provides shareholders with an opportunity to obtain liquidity with respect to a portion of their shares without the usual transaction costs associated with market sales. In addition, upon completion of the Company’s buy back and retirement of an aggregate of $5,000,008 of its Common Stock, all shareholders (other than shareholders with Odd Lots as defined below), particularly shareholders who do not participate in the Tender Offer, will automatically increase their relative percentage ownership in us. See Sections 5, 9 and 11.
 
The Company’s Board of Directors currently consists of five members, two of which, namely Messrs. Kevin J. Zugibe and Robert L. Burr (the “Interested Directors’) are personally involved in the Transactions either, in the case of Mr. Zugibe, as a purchaser of shares of Common Stock from Fleming, or, in the case of Mr. Burr, as a representative of Fleming. The remaining three directors, namely Messr’s Vincent P. Abbatecola, Dominic J. Monetta and Otto C. Morch (the “Independent Directors”), are not personally involved in the Transactions other than as directors of the Company, and each is an “independent” director as defined under the rules of NASDAQ. Each of the Interested Directors abstained from all consideration, discussions and actions taken by the Company’s Board of Directors regarding the Transactions and this Tender Offer, and the purchase of the Retired Shares and the making of this Tender Offer were solely approved by the Company’s Independent Directors.

6

 
In determining to proceed with the purchase of the Retired Shares and the Tender Offer, the Independent Directors have reviewed and considered, with the assistance of information supplied by management, our free cash flow, financial position, the market price of our Common Stock, the desire of Fleming to liquidate a substantial portion of their holdings in the Company, as well as our operations, strategy and expectations for the future. See Section 2. Based upon that review, the Independent Directors believe that the Company will have sufficient cash flow to support the debt of $5,000,008 being borrowed under the Company’s existing credit line facility, of which $3,692,520 will be used to purchase the Retired Shares and $1,307,488 will be used as the Tender Offer Funds. The costs incurred by the Company in connection with the purchase of the Retired Shares and this Tender Offer will be paid from the Company’s operations. See Section 9.

How do I tender my shares?
 
If you want to tender all or part of your shares, you must do one of the following before 5:00 PM, Eastern Time, on August 15, 2007, or any later time and date to which the Tender Offer may be extended, or earlier as described below as required for participants in the 401(K) Plan or as your broker or other nominee may require:
 
 
 
if your shares are registered in the name of a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company or other nominee, contact the nominee and have the nominee tender your shares for you;

 
 
if you hold certificates in your own name, complete and sign a Letter of Transmittal according to its instructions and deliver it, together with any required signature guarantees, the certificates for your shares and any other documents required by the Letter of Transmittal, to the Depositary at its address shown on the Letter of Transmittal;
 
 
 
if you are an institution participating in The Depository Trust Company, tender your shares according to the procedure for book-entry transfer described in Section 3 of this Offer to Purchase;
 
 
 
if you are a participant in the 401(K) Plan and you wish to tender any of your shares held in the plan, you must follow the separate instructions and procedures described in Section 3 of this Offer to Purchase and you must review the separate materials related to the 401(K) Plan enclosed with this Offer to Purchase.
 
If you want to tender your shares, but:
 
 
 
the certificates for your shares are not immediately available or cannot be delivered to the Depositary by the expiration of the Tender Offer;
 
 
 
you cannot comply with the procedure for book-entry transfer by the expiration of the Tender Offer; or
 
 
 
your other required documents cannot be delivered to the Depositary by the expiration of the Tender Offer;
 
you can still tender your shares if you comply with the guaranteed delivery procedure described in Section 3.
 
You may contact the Information Agent for assistance. The contact information for the Information Agent appears on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase. See Section 3 and the Instructions to the Letter of Transmittal.
 
How do participants in our 401(K) Plan participate in the Tender Offer?
 
Participants in our 401(K) Plan may not use the Letter of Transmittal to direct the tender of their shares in the plan, but instead must follow the separate instructions related to those shares in the “Letter to Hudson Technologies, Inc. 401(K) Savings Plan Participants” sent to participants in the plan along with this Offer to Purchase. If you are a participant in the 401(K) Plan and wish to have the trustee tender some or all shares held in the 401(K) Plan, you must complete, execute, and return the separate direction form included in the “Letter to Hudson Technologies, Inc. (410(K) Plan Participants” at least three (3) business days prior to the Expiration Time. See Section 3.
 
What happens if more than 1,167,400 shares are tendered at the purchase price?
 
If more than 1,167,400 shares (or such greater number of shares as we may elect to accept for payment, subject to applicable law) are properly tendered at the purchase price and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time, we will purchase shares as follows:
 
 
 
first, all “odd lots” of 100 shares or less from holders who properly tender all of their shares at the purchase price determined in the Tender Offer and who do not properly withdraw them before the Expiration Time;
 
 
 
second, from all other shareholders who properly tender up to 25% of all of their shares in the Tender Offer and who do not properly withdraw them before the Expiration Time, on a pro rata basis (except for shareholders who tendered shares conditionally for which the condition was not satisfied).
 
Because of the “odd lot” priority, proration and conditional tender provisions described below, we may not purchase all of the shares that you tender. See Section 1.

8

 
If I own fewer than 100 shares, how many shares many I tender, and will I be subject to proration?
 
If you own beneficially or of record 100 shares or less in the aggregate, you may tender all of these shares. If you properly tender all of your shares and do not properly withdraw them before the Expiration Time, and you complete the section entitled “Odd Lots” in the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, we will purchase all of your shares eligible without subjecting them to the further proration procedure. See Section 1.
 
If I own more than 100 shares, how many shares may I tender, and will I be subject to proration?
 
If you own beneficially or of record more than 100 shares, you may tender up to 25% of these shares. If you properly tender up to 25% of your shares and do not properly withdraw them before the Expiration Time, and you complete the section entitled “certification” in the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, we will purchase all of your shares tendered and eligible on a pro rata basis (except for shareholders who tendered shares conditionally for which the condition was not satisfied). See Section 1.
 
Once I have tendered shares in the Tender Offer, can I withdraw my tender?
 
You may withdraw any shares you have tendered at any time before 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on August 15, 2007, unless we extend the Tender Offer, in which case you can withdraw your shares until the expiration of the Tender Offer as extended. If we have not accepted for payment the shares you have tendered to us, you may also withdraw your shares at any time after 5:00 P.M, Eastern Time, on August 15, 2007. See Section 4.
 
How do I withdraw shares I previously tendered?
 
To properly withdraw shares, you must deliver a written notice of withdrawal with the required information to the Depositary while you still have the right to withdraw the shares. If you have used more than one Letter of Transmittal or have otherwise tendered shares in more than one group of shares, you may withdraw shares using either separate notices of withdrawal or a combined notice of withdrawal, so long as the required information is included. Your notice of withdrawal must specify your name, the number of shares to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of these shares. Some additional requirements apply if the share certificates to be withdrawn have been delivered to the Depositary or if your shares have been tendered under the procedure for book-entry transfer set forth in Section 3. See Section 4. If you have tendered your shares by giving instructions to a bank, broker, dealer, trust company or other nominee, you must instruct the nominee to arrange for the withdrawal of your shares.
 
Participants in our 401(K) Plan who wish to withdraw their shares must follow the instructions found in the “Letter to Hudson Technologies, Inc. 401(K) Plan Participants” sent separately to each participant of the plan. See Section 4.
 
Has the Company or its Board of Directors adopted a position on the Tender Offer?
 
The Independent Directors have approved the Tender Offer. However, neither management nor any member of our Board of Directors, nor the Depositary and Information Agent makes any recommendation to any shareholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering any shares. We have not authorized any person to make any recommendation. You should carefully evaluate all information in the Tender Offer and should consult your own investment and tax advisors. You must make your own decision whether to tender your shares and, if so, how many shares to tender. In doing so, you should read carefully the information in this Offer to Purchase and in the Letter of Transmittal. See Section 2.
 
Does the Company intend to repurchase any shares other than pursuant to the Tender Offer during or after the Tender Offer?
 
This Tender Offer is being made in connection with separate transactions involving the Company and the Purchasing Members, as buyers, and Fleming, as seller, pursuant to which Fleming will, depending on the outcome of this Tender Offer and the Contingent Purchase, sell between 14,911,600 and 16,079,000 shares of the Company’s Common Stock. Pursuant to the Management Agreements, on June 28, 2007, Purchasing Members purchased the Management Shares from Fleming US Discovery Fund III, L.P., for their individual accounts with their own private funds, at a purchase price of $0.65 per share, for a total consideration of $6,000,020. In addition, pursuant to the Agreement, on June 28, 2007, the Company purchased and retired the Retired Shares from Fleming, at a purchase price of $0.65 per share, for a total consideration of $3,692,520. As part of the Agreement, the Company has agreed to make this Tender Offer to all shareholders.

To the extent that the shareholders do not tender their shares in the Company’s Tender Offer, and some or all of the Tender Offer Funds have not been used in the Tender Offer, the Company will utilize all of the remaining Tender Offer Funds to complete the Contingent Purchase and will purchase and retire additional shares of Common Stock from Fleming at the price per share offered in the Tender Offer. In accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(f), the Contingent Purchase by the Company will not occur until at least ten business days after the expiration date of the Tender Offer. See Sections 5, 9 and 11. The Board of Directors has not authorized any further or ongoing repurchase program for the purchase of additional shares of the Company’s stock.

Do the directors and executive officers of the Company intend to tender their shares in the Tender Offer?
 
Pursuant to the Management Agreements, on June 28, 2007, the Purchasing Members, for their individual accounts with their own private funds, purchased the Management Shares from Fleming US Discovery Fund III, L.P. at a purchase price of $0.65 per share, for a total consideration of $6,000,020. Our directors and executive officers, including all of the Purchasing Members, have advised us that that they do not intend to tender any of their shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including the Management Shares, in the Tender Offer. Accordingly, if we complete the Tender Offer and/or the Contingent Purchase, the proportional holdings of our directors and executive officers will increase from the amounts owned by them immediately prior to the consummation of the Tender Offer. However, our directors and executive officers may, in compliance with stock ownership guidelines and applicable law, sell their shares in open market or other transactions at prices that may or may not be more favorable than the purchase price to be paid to our shareholders in the Tender Offer. See Sections 2, 8.
 
Does Fleming intend to tender their shares in the Tender Offer?
 
On June 28, 2007, Fleming sold 14,911,600 shares of the Company’s Common Stock as part of the Transactions at a purchase price of $0.65 per share and with completion of these sales Fleming continues to own 4,225,849 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 21% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares at the time of the commencement of the Tender Offer. Fleming has advised that it does not intend to tender any of its shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the Tender Offer. Accordingly, if we complete the Tender Offer, Fleming’s proportional holdings will increase to approximately 22%. To the extent that the shareholders do not elect to accept the Company’s Tender Offer, and some or all of the Tender Offer Funds have not been used in the Tender Offer, the Company will utilize all of the remaining Tender Offer Funds, to complete the Contingent Purchase, in which case Fleming’s proportional holdings will be between 16% and 22%, depending on the number of shares purchased in the Contingent Purchase.
 
 If I decide not to tender, how will the Tender Offer affect my shares?
 
Shareholders who choose not to tender their shares will own a greater percentage interest in our outstanding Common Stock following consummation of the Tender Offer. See Section 2.
 
What is the recent market price of my shares?
 
On June 28, 2007, the last full trading day before the commencement of the Tender Offer, the reported closing price of the shares on NASDAQ was $1.12 per share. You are urged to obtain current market quotations for the shares before deciding whether and at what price or prices to tender your shares. See Section 8.
 
When will the Company pay for the shares I tender?
 
We will pay the purchase price, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding tax and without interest, for the shares we purchase promptly after the expiration of the Tender Offer. We do not expect, however, to announce the results of proration and begin paying for tendered shares until up to ten business days after the expiration of the Tender Offer. See Section 5.

10


 
Will I have to pay brokerage commissions if I tender my shares?
 
If you are the record owner of your shares or hold your shares through our 401(K) Plan and your shares are tendered directly to the Depositary, you will not have to pay brokerage fees or similar expenses. If you own your shares through a bank, broker, dealer, trust company or other nominee and the nominee tenders your shares on your behalf, the nominee may charge you a fee for doing so. You should consult with your bank, broker, dealer, trust company or other nominee to determine whether any charges will apply. See Section 3.
 
What are the United States federal income tax consequences if I tender my shares?
 
Generally, if you are a U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 14), you will be subject to United States federal income taxation when you receive cash from the Company in exchange for the shares you tender in the Tender Offer. Depending on your particular circumstances, you will be treated as either (i) recognizing capital gain or loss from the disposition of your shares or (ii) receiving a dividend distribution from the Company. See Section 14. If you are a foreign shareholder (as defined in Section 14), you may be subject to withholding at a rate of 30% on payments received pursuant to the Tender Offer. You may also be subject to tax in other jurisdictions on the disposal of shares.
 
If you are a U.S. Holder, you should complete the Substitute Form W-9 included in your Letter of Transmittal. Any tendering shareholder or other payee that fails to complete, sign and return to the Depositary the Substitute Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal (or such other Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) form as may be applicable) may be subject to United States backup withholding. Such withholding would be equal to 28% of the gross proceeds paid to the shareholder or other payee pursuant to the Tender Offer. Different rules on filings in respect of withholding of tax apply to foreign shareholders. See Section 3.
 
All shareholders should review the discussion in Sections 3 and 14 regarding tax issues and consult their tax advisor regarding the tax effects of a tender of shares.
 
Will I have to pay stock transfer tax if I tender my shares?
 
We will pay all stock transfer taxes unless payment is made to, or if shares not tendered or accepted for payment are to be registered in the name of, someone other than the registered holder, or tendered certificates are registered in the name of someone other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal. See Section 5.
 
What is the accounting treatment of the Tender Offer?
 
The accounting for the Company’s purchase of shares in the Tender Offer will result in a reduction of our shareholders’ equity in an amount equal to the aggregate purchase price of the shares we purchase and an increase in indebtedness.
 
Whom can I talk to if I have questions?
 
If you have any questions regarding the Tender Offer, please contact Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Information Agent for the Tender Offer, at (800) 509-5586 (toll free in the U.S. and Canada) or (212) 509-4000 ext 536.

The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 PM, Eastern Time, on August 15, 2007, unless extended as described in Section 15.
 
We will purchase only shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. However, because of the “odd lot” priority, proration and conditional tender provisions described in this Offer to Purchase, we may not purchase all of the shares tendered if more than the number of shares we seek are properly tendered. We will return shares that we do not purchase because of the “odd lot” priority, proration or conditional tender provisions to the tendering shareholders at our expense promptly following the Expiration Time. See Section 1.
 
Tendering shareholders whose shares are registered in their own names and who tender directly to Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company, the Depositary for the Tender Offer, will not be obligated to pay brokerage fees or commissions or, except as described in Section 5, stock transfer taxes on the purchase of shares by us in the Tender Offer. If you own your shares through a bank, broker, dealer, trust company or other nominee and the nominee tenders your shares on your behalf, the nominee may charge you a fee for doing so. You should consult your bank, broker, dealer, trust company or other nominee to determine whether any charges will apply.
 
Participants in our 401(K) Plan may not use the Letter of Transmittal to direct the tender of their shares held in the plan, but instead must follow the separate instructions related to those shares. Participants in our 401(K) Plan may instruct the trustee of the plan as set forth in the “Letter to Hudson Technologies, Inc. 401(K) Savings Plan Participants” to tender some or all of the shares attributed to the participant’s account. If a participant’s instructions are not received three business days prior to the Expiration Date, the trustee will not tender shares attributable to the participant’s account. See Section 3.

You must make your own decision whether to tender your shares and, if so, how many shares to tender. In doing so, you should read carefully the information in this Offer to Purchase and in the Letter of Transmittal. See Section 2.
 
Our directors and executive officers, including all of the Purchasing Members, have advised us that they do not intend to tender any of their shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including the Management Shares, in the Tender Offer. Accordingly, if we complete the Tender Offer and/or the Contingent Purchase, the proportional holdings of our directors and executive officers will increase from the amounts owned by them immediately prior to the consummation of the Tender Offer. However, our directors and executive officers may, in compliance with stock ownership guidelines and applicable law, sell their shares in open market or other transactions at prices that may or may not be more favorable than the purchase price to be paid to our shareholders in the Tender Offer.

Any tendering shareholder or other payee that fails to complete, sign and return to the Depositary the Substitute Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal (or such other IRS form as may be applicable) may be subject to United States backup withholding at a rate equal to 28% of the gross proceeds paid to the holder or other payee pursuant to the Tender Offer, unless such holder establishes that it is exempt from backup withholding. See Section 3. Also see Section 14 of this Offer to Purchase regarding certain United States federal income tax consequences of a sale of shares pursuant to the Tender Offer.
 
Immediately prior to the completion of the Transactions, there were 25,915,464 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. As a result of the Transactions and the purchase by the Company of the Retired Shares, as of the commencement of the Tender Offer, there are 20,234,664 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. The 1,167,400 shares that we are offering to purchase hereunder represent approximately 5.6% of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of our Common Stock as of the commencement of the Tender Offer. The shares are listed and traded on NASDAQ under the symbol “HDSN”. On June 28, 2007, the last full trading day before the commencement of the Tender Offer, the reported closing price of the shares on NASDAQ was $1.12 per share. Shareholders are urged to obtain current market quotations for the shares before deciding whether and at what purchase price or purchase prices to tender their shares. See Section 8. 
 
 
 
General. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer, we will purchase up to 1,167,400 shares of our Common Stock, or if fewer shares are properly tendered, all shares that are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn in accordance with Section 4, at a price of $1.12 per share, net to the seller in cash, less any applicable withholding tax and without interest. Pursuant to this Tender Offer, and except for “odd lots”, tendering shareholders may properly tender no more than 25% of all shares held in the name of or beneficially owned in the aggregate by each shareholder.
 
The term “Expiration Time” means 5:00 PM, Eastern Time, on August 15, 2007, unless we, in our sole discretion, extend the period of time during which the Tender Offer will remain open, in which event the term “Expiration Time” shall refer to the latest time and date at which the Tender Offer, as so extended by us, shall expire. See Section 15 for a description of our right to extend, delay, terminate or amend the Tender Offer.
 
If the Tender Offer is over-subscribed as described below, shares tendered and not properly withdrawn will be subject to proration, except for “odd lots”. The proration period and, except as described herein, withdrawal rights expire at the Expiration Time.
 
If we:
 
 
 
Make any change to the price at which we are offering to purchase the shares ; or
 
 
 
increase the number of shares being sought in the Tender Offer and such increase in the number of shares being sought exceeds 2% of our outstanding shares; or
 
 
 
decrease the number of shares being sought in the Tender Offer; and
 
the Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the expiration of a period ending at 5:00 PM Eastern Time on the tenth business day (as defined below) from, and including, the date that notice of any such increase or decrease is first published, sent or given in the manner specified in Section 15, then the Tender Offer will be extended until the expiration of such ten business day period. For the purposes of the Tender Offer, unless otherwise specified, a “business day” means any day other than a Saturday, Sunday or United States federal holiday and consists of the time period from 12:01 a.m. to 12:00 Midnight, Eastern Time.

The Tender Offer is not conditioned on any minimum number of shares being tendered. The Tender Offer is, however, subject to satisfaction of certain other conditions.
 
All shares we acquire in the Tender Offer will be acquired at the same purchase price. We will purchase only shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. However, because of the “odd lot” priority, proration and conditional tender provisions described in this Offer to Purchase, we may not purchase all of the shares tendered if more than the number of shares we seek to purchase are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn. We will return shares tendered that we do not purchase because of the “odd lot” priority, proration or conditional tender provisions to the tendering shareholders at our expense promptly after the Tender Offer expires.
 
Shareholders also can specify the order in which we will purchase the specified portions in the event that, as a result of the proration provisions or otherwise, we purchase some but not all of the tendered shares pursuant to the Tender Offer. In the event a shareholder does not designate the order and fewer than all shares are purchased due to proration, the Depositary will select the order of shares purchased.
 
If the number of shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time is less than or equal to 1,167,400 shares, or such greater number of shares as we may elect to accept for payment, we will, subject to applicable law and upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer, purchase all shares so tendered at the purchase price set forth in this Offer to Purchase.
 
Priority of Purchases. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer, if more than 1,167,400 shares, or such greater number of shares as we may elect to accept for payment, have been properly tendered and not properly withdrawn prior to the Expiration Time, we will, subject to applicable law, purchase properly tendered shares on the basis set forth below:
 
 
 
First, we will purchase all shares tendered by any Odd Lot Holder (as defined below) who:
 
 
 
tenders all shares owned beneficially and of record by the Odd Lot Holder (tenders of less than all of the shares owned by an Odd Lot Holder will not qualify for this priority); and
 
 
 
completes the section entitled “Odd Lots” in the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

 
 
Second,, subject to the conditional tender provisions described in Section 6, we will purchase up to 25% of the shares owned by all other shareholders from such other shareholders who properly tender up to 25% of all of their shares, on a pro rata basis with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional shares, as described below.
 
As a result of the foregoing priorities applicable to the purchase of shares tendered, it is possible that all of the shares that a shareholder tenders in the Tender Offer may not be purchased. In addition, if a tender is conditioned upon the purchase of a specified number of shares, it is possible that none of those shares will be purchased.
 
Odd Lots. The term “odd lots” means all shares properly tendered prior to the Expiration Time and not properly withdrawn by any person (an “Odd Lot Holder”) who owns beneficially or of record 100 shares or less in the aggregate and so certified in the appropriate place on the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, on the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
 
To qualify for this priority, an Odd Lot Holder must tender all shares owned by the Odd Lot Holder in accordance with the procedures described in Section 3. “Odd lots” will be accepted for payment before any proration of the purchase of other tendered shares. This priority is not available to partial tenders or to beneficial or record holders of more than 100 shares in the aggregate, even if these holders have separate accounts or certificates representing 100 shares or less. By tendering in the Tender Offer, an Odd Lot Holder who holds shares in its name and tenders its shares directly to the Depositary would also avoid any applicable odd lot discounts in a sale of the holder’s shares. Any Odd Lot Holder wishing to tender all of its shares pursuant to the Tender Offer should complete the section entitled “Odd Lots” in the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.

15


 
Proration. If proration of tendered shares is required, we will determine the proration factor promptly following the Expiration Time. Subject to adjustment to avoid the purchase of fractional shares and subject to the provisions governing conditional tenders described in Section 6, proration for each shareholder tendering shares, other than Odd Lot Holders, will be based on the ratio of the number of shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn by the shareholder to the total number of shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn by all shareholders, other than Odd Lot Holders. Because of the difficulty in determining the number of shares properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, and because of the “odd lot” priority described above, and the conditional tender procedure described in Section 6, we expect that we will not be able to announce the final proration factor or commence payment for any shares purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer until up to ten business days after the Expiration Time. The preliminary results of any proration will be announced by press release promptly after the Expiration Time. After the Expiration Time, shareholders may obtain preliminary proration information from the Information Agent and also may be able to obtain the information from their brokers.
 
The number of shares that we will purchase from any shareholder, other than an Odd Lot Holder, will not exceed 25% of the total shares held in the name of or beneficially owned by any shareholder in the aggregate.
 
As described in Section 14, the number of shares that we will purchase from a shareholder in the Tender Offer may affect the United States federal income tax consequences to that shareholder and, therefore, may be relevant to a shareholder’s decision whether or not to tender shares and whether to condition any tender upon our purchase of a stated number of shares held by such shareholder.
 
This Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal will be mailed to record holders of shares and will be furnished to brokers, dealers, commercial banks and trust companies whose names, or the names of whose nominees, appear on our shareholder list or, if applicable, who are listed as participants in a clearing agency’s security position listing for subsequent transmittal to beneficial owners of shares.
 
2. Purpose of the Tender Offer; Certain Effects of the Tender Offer.

On June 26, 2007, the Company, through its subsidiary company Hudson Technologies Company (“HTC”), entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement (the “Loan Agreement”) with Keltic Financial Partners, LP (“Keltic”), which amended and increased HTC’s existing credit facility with Keltic, and which provides for borrowings of up to $10,000,000 (the “Facility”). The Facility consists of a revolving line of credit and two separate term loans (the “Term Loans”), and expires on June 26, 2010. Advances under the revolving line of credit may not exceed $10,000,000 less the total balance remaining under the Term Loans, and are limited to (i) 85% of eligible trade accounts receivable and (ii) 50% of eligible inventory. The Term Loans are 7 year amortizing loans with balloon payments due on June 26, 2010, and consist of an Amended and Restated Term Loan A with maximum advances of $2,500,000, and a new Term Loan B with maximum advances of $4,500,000. At June 26, 2007, all borrowings under the Facility bore interest at an interest rate equal to 8.625%, which was the prime rate, plus .375%.
 
The Company intends to utilize a total of $5,000,008 of borrowings under the Facility (the “Loan Proceeds”) to purchase and retire 6,848,200 shares, representing approximately 26% of the outstanding shares prior to the consummation of the Transactions. On June 28, 2007, we used $3,692,520 of the Loan Proceeds to purchase the Retired Shares from Fleming at a price of $0.65 per share pursuant to the Agreement. The Company intends to utilize an additional $1,307,488 of borrowings under the Facility, representing the balance of the Loan Proceeds, to purchase and retire up to 1,167,400 shares through this Tender Offer.

The making of this Tender Offer was made in connection with Fleming’s agreement to sell the Retired Shares to the Company at a discount to market, in order to provide all shareholders with an opportunity to participate in the Company’s decision to utilize $5,000,008 to buy-back and retire shares of the Company’s Common Stock and to thereby receive a return of some or all of their investment in the Company if they so elect. The Tender Offer provides the Company’s shareholders with an opportunity to obtain liquidity with respect to some or all of their shares (or, in the case of tendering Odd Lot Holders, all of their shares), without potential disruption to the share price and the usual transaction costs associated with market sales. See Sections 5, 9 and 11.
 
16



In determining to proceed with the Transactions and the Tender Offer, the Independent Directors have reviewed and considered, with the assistance of information supplied by management, our free cash flow, financial position, the market price of our Common Stock, the desire of Fleming to liquidate a substantial portion of their holdings in the Company, as well as our operations, strategy and expectations for the future. See Section 2. Based upon that review, the Independent Directors believe that the Company will have sufficient cash flow to support the debt of $5,000,008 being borrowed by the Company under the Facility, of which $3,692,520 will be used to purchase the Retired Shares and $1,307,488 will be used as the Tender Offer Funds. The costs incurred by the Company in connection with the Transactions and this Tender Offer will be paid from the Company’s operations. See Section 9.

The size and number of shares to be purchased in the Tender Offer, was determined based upon the ownership of all shareholders other than Fleming. Immediately prior to the Transactions, all shareholders other than Fleming held a total of 6,778,015 shares of our Common Stock out of a total of 25,915,464 shares outstanding, representing a collective 26.15% ownership interest in the Company. Based upon that percentage, it was determined that 26.15% of the Loan Proceeds, or $1,307,488 would used by the Company to purchase and retire shares through the Tender Offer, and that the balance of the Loan Proceeds, or $3,692,520, would be used to purchase the Retired Shares from Fleming. See Sections 5, 9 and 11.

To the extent that the shareholders do not tender their shares in the Company’s Tender Offer, and some or all of the Tender Offer Funds have not been used in the Tender Offer, following expiration of the Tender Offer, the Company will, in accordance with the Agreement, utilize all of the remaining Tender Offer Funds to complete the Contingent Purchase.

The Tender Offer provides shareholders with an opportunity to obtain liquidity with respect to a portion of their shares, without potential disruption to the share price and the usual transaction costs associated with market sales. In addition, all shareholders (other than shareholders tendering Odd Lots), particularly shareholders who do not participate in the Tender Offer, will automatically increase their relative percentage ownership in us and our future operations. See Sections 5, 9 and 11.
 
The Independent Directors have approved the Tender Offer. However, neither management nor any member of our Board of Directors, nor the Depositary and Information Agent makes any recommendation to any shareholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering any shares. We have not authorized any person to make any recommendation. You should carefully evaluate all information in the Tender Offer and should consult your own investment and tax advisors. You must make your own decision whether to tender your shares and, if so, how many shares to tender. In doing so, you should read carefully the information in this Offer to Purchase and in the Letter of Transmittal. See Section 2.
 
 
Certain Effects of the Tender Offer. With the exception of Odd Lot Holders who tender their shares pursuant to the Tender Offer, all shareholders will continue to be owners of the Company. As a result, if we complete the Tender Offer, those shareholders, particularly those who do not tender their shares to the Company, will realize a proportionate increase in their relative equity interest in the Company and will continue to bear the attendant risks associated with owning our equity securities, including risks resulting from our purchase of shares. Shareholders may be able to sell non-tendered shares in the future on NASDAQ, or otherwise, at a net price significantly higher or lower than the purchase price in the Tender Offer. We can give no assurance as to the price at which a shareholder may be able to sell its shares in the future.
 
The shares that we acquire in the Tender Offer will be restored to the status of authorized but unissued shares and will be available for us to issue in the future without further shareholder action (except as required by applicable law or the rules of National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.) for purposes including, without limitation, acquisitions, raising additional capital and the satisfaction of obligations under existing or future employee benefit or compensation programs or stock plans or compensation programs for directors.
 
To the extent shares are tendered in the Tender Offer, the Tender Offer will reduce our “public float” (the number of shares owned by non-affiliate shareholders and available for trading in the securities markets), and is likely to reduce the number of our shareholders.

17


 
Our directors and executive officers, including all of the Purchasing Members, have advised us that they do not intend to tender any of their shares of the Company’s Common Stock, including the Management Shares, in the Tender Offer. Accordingly, if we complete the Tender Offer and/or the Contingent Purchase, the proportional holdings of our directors and executive officers will increase from the amounts owned by them immediately prior to the consummation of the Tender Offer. However, our directors and executive officers may, in compliance with stock ownership guidelines and applicable law, sell their shares in open market or other transactions at prices that may or may not be more favorable than the purchase price to be paid to our shareholders in the Tender Offer. See Section 11.
 
On June 28, 2007, Fleming sold 14,911,600 shares of the Company’s Common Stock as part of the Transactions at a purchase price of $0.65 per share and with completion of these sales Fleming continues to own 4,225,849 shares of Common Stock, representing approximately 21% of the Company’s issued and outstanding shares at the time of the commencement of the Tender Offer. Fleming has advised that it does not intend to tender any of its shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the Tender Offer. Accordingly, if we complete the Tender Offer, Fleming’s proportional holdings will increase to approximately 22%. To the extent that the shareholders do not elect to accept the Company’s Tender Offer, and some or all of the Tender Offer Funds have not been used in the Tender Offer, the Company will utilize all of the remaining Tender Offer Funds, to complete the Contingent Purchase, in which case Fleming’s proportional holdings will be between 16% and 22%, depending on the number of shares purchased in the Contingent Purchase.
 
Except for the foregoing and as otherwise disclosed in this Offer to Purchase or the documents incorporated by reference herein, we currently have no plans, proposals or negotiations underway that relate to or would result in:
 
 
 
any extraordinary transaction, such as a merger, reorganization or liquidation, involving us or any of our subsidiaries which is material to us and our subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
 
 
 
any purchase, sale or transfer of an amount of our assets or any of our subsidiaries’ assets which is material to us and our subsidiaries, taken as a whole;
 
 
 
any material change in our present Board of Directors or management or any plans or proposals to change the number or the term of directors (although we may fill vacancies arising on the Board of Directors) or to change any material term of the employment contract of any executive officer;
 
 
 
any material change in our present dividend rate or policy, our indebtedness or capitalization, our corporate structure or our business;
 
 
 
our ceasing to be authorized to be quoted on NASDAQ;
 
 
 
our Common Stock becoming eligible for termination of registration under Section 12(b) of the Exchange Act;
 
 
 
the suspension of our obligation to file reports under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act;
 
 
 
the acquisition or disposition by any person of our securities; or
 
 
 
any changes in our charter or bylaws that could impede the acquisition of control of us.
 
Notwithstanding the foregoing, we have regularly considered alternatives to enhance shareholder value, including open market repurchases of our shares, modifications of our dividend policy, strategic acquisitions, divestitures and business combinations, and we intend to continue to consider alternatives to enhance shareholder value. Except as otherwise disclosed in this Offer to Purchase, as of the date hereof, no agreements, understandings or decisions have been reached and there can be no assurance that we will decide to undertake any such alternatives. See Section 11.
 
 
Valid Tender. For a shareholder to make a valid tender of shares in the Tender Offer, the Depositary must receive, at one of its addresses set forth on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase and prior to the Expiration Time:
 
 
 
a Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, together with any required signature guarantees (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an “agent’s message”) (see “Book-Entry Transfer” below), and any other required documents; and
 

18



 
 
either certificates representing the tendered shares or, in the case of tendered shares delivered in accordance with the procedures for book-entry transfer described below, a book-entry confirmation of that delivery (see “Book-Entry Transfer” below).
 
In the alternative, the tendering shareholder must, before the Expiration Time, comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.
 
If a broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee holds your shares, it is likely the nominee has established an earlier deadline for you to act to instruct the nominee to accept the Tender Offer on your behalf. We urge you to contact your broker, dealer, commercial bank, trust company, or other nominee to find out the nominee’s applicable deadline.
 
Participants in our 401(K) Plan that desire to tender shares in the Tender Offer must follow the separate instructions in the “Letter to Hudson Technologies, Inc. 401(K) Savings Plan Participants” sent to participants in the plan along with this Offer to Purchase.
 
The valid tender of shares by you through one of the procedures described in this Section 3 will constitute a binding agreement between you and us on the terms of, and subject to the conditions to, the Tender Offer.
 
In accordance with Instruction 5 of the Letter of Transmittal, each shareholder desiring to tender shares pursuant to the Tender Offer must check the box in the section of the Letter of Transmittal captioned “Shares Tendered,” in which case you will be deemed to have tendered your shares.

We urge shareholders who hold shares through brokers or banks to consult the brokers or banks to determine whether transaction costs are applicable if they tender shares through the brokers or banks and not directly to the Depositary.
 
Shareholders also can specify the order in which we will purchase the specified portions in the event that, as a result of the proration provisions or otherwise, we purchase some but not all of the tendered shares pursuant to the Tender Offer. In the event a shareholder does not designate the order and fewer than all shares are purchased due to proration, the Depositary will select the order of shares purchased.
 
Odd Lot Holders who tender all their shares must also complete the section captioned “Odd Lots” in the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, to qualify for the priority treatment available to Odd Lot Holders as set forth in Section 1
 
Book-Entry Transfer. For purposes of the Tender Offer, the Depositary will establish an account for the shares at The Depository Trust Company (the “book-entry transfer facility”) within two business days after the date of this Offer to Purchase. Any financial institution that is a participant in the book-entry transfer facility’s system may make book-entry delivery of shares by causing the book-entry transfer facility to transfer those shares into the Depositary’s account in accordance with the book-entry transfer facility’s procedures for that transfer. Although delivery of shares may be effected through book-entry transfer into the Depositary’s account at the book-entry transfer facility, the Letter of Transmittal, properly completed and duly executed, with any required signature guarantees, or an agent’s message, and any other required documents must, in any case, be transmitted to, and received by, the Depositary at one of its addresses listed on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase prior to the Expiration Time, or the tendering shareholder must comply with the guaranteed delivery procedures described below.
 
The confirmation of a book-entry transfer of shares into the Depositary’s account at the book-entry transfer facility described above is referred to in this Offer to Purchase as a “book-entry confirmation.” Delivery of documents to the book-entry transfer facility in accordance with the book-entry transfer facility’s procedures will not constitute delivery to the Depositary. 
 
The term “agent’s message” means a message transmitted by the book-entry transfer facility to, and received by, the Depositary and forming a part of a book-entry confirmation, stating that the book-entry transfer facility has received an express acknowledgment from the participant tendering shares through the book-entry transfer facility that the participant has received and agrees to be bound by the terms of the Letter of Transmittal and that we may enforce that agreement against that participant.

19


 
Method of Delivery. The method of delivery of shares, the Letter of Transmittal and all other required documents, including delivery through the book-entry transfer facility, is at the election and risk of the tendering shareholder. Shares will be deemed delivered only when actually received by the Depositary (including, in the case of a book-entry transfer, by book-entry confirmation). If you plan to make delivery by mail, we recommend that you deliver by registered mail with return receipt requested and obtain proper insurance. In all cases, sufficient time should be allowed to ensure timely delivery.
 
Signature Guarantees. No signature guarantee will be required on a Letter of Transmittal for shares tendered thereby if:
 
 
 
the “registered holder(s)” of those shares signs the Letter of Transmittal and has not completed the box entitled “Special Payment Instructions” in the Letter of Transmittal; or
 
 
 
those shares are tendered for the account of an “eligible institution.”
 
A “registered holder” of tendered shares will include any participant in the book-entry transfer facility’s system whose name appears on a security position listing as the owner of those shares, and an “eligible institution” is a “financial institution,” which term includes most commercial banks, savings and loan associations and brokerage houses, that is a participant in any of the following: (i) the Securities Transfer Agents Medallion Program; (ii) The New York Stock Exchange, Inc. Medallion Signature Program; or (iii) the Stock Exchange Medallion Program.
 
Except as described above, all signatures on any Letter of Transmittal for shares tendered thereby must be guaranteed by an eligible institution. See Instructions 7 and 13 to the Letter of Transmittal. If the certificates for shares are registered in the name of a person other than the signer of the Letter of Transmittal, or if payment is to be made or certificates for shares not tendered or not accepted for payment are to be returned to a person other than the registered holder of the certificates surrendered, then the tendered certificates must be endorsed or accompanied by appropriate stock powers, in either case signed exactly as the name or names of the registered holders or owners appear on the certificates, with the signatures on the certificates or stock powers guaranteed by an eligible institution. See Instructions 7 and 13 to the Letter of Transmittal.
 
Guaranteed Delivery. If you wish to tender shares in the Tender Offer and your certificates for shares are not immediately available or the procedures for book-entry transfer cannot be completed on a timely basis or time will not permit all required documents to reach the Depositary prior to the Expiration Time, your tender may be effected if all the following conditions are met:
 
 
 
your tender is made by or through an eligible institution;
 
 
 
a properly completed and duly executed Notice of Guaranteed Delivery in the form we have provided is received by the Depositary, as provided below, prior to the Expiration Time; and
 
 
 
the Depositary receives at one of its addresses listed on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase and within the period of three trading days after the date of execution of that Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, either: (i) the certificates representing the shares being tendered, in the proper form for transfer, together with all other required documents and a Letter of Transmittal, which has been properly completed and duly executed and includes all signature guarantees required; or (ii) confirmation of book-entry transfer of the shares into the Depositary’s account at the book-entry transfer facility, together with all other required documents and either a Letter of Transmittal, which has been properly completed and duly executed and includes all signature guarantees required, or an agent’s message.
 
A Notice of Guaranteed Delivery must be delivered to the Depositary by hand, overnight courier, facsimile transmission or mail before the Expiration Time and must include a guarantee by an eligible institution in the form set forth in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
 
401(K) Plan. Participants in our 401(K) Plan who wish to have the trustee tender eligible shares attributable to their plan account must complete, execute and return to the plan trustee the tender direction form included in the “Letter to Hudson Technologies, Inc. 401(K) Savings Plan Participants” sent to each participant of the plan. Participants in our 401(K) Plan may not use the Letter of Transmittal to direct the tender of their shares held in the plan, but instead must follow the separate direction form sent to them. Although the Tender Offer will remain open to all shareholders until the Expiration Time, if the trustee does not receive a participant’s instructions three business days prior to the Expiration Time, the trustee will not tender shares attributable to the participant’s account. Participants are urged to read the “Letter from Hudson Technologies, Inc. to Participants in its 401(K) Plan” and the separate direction form carefully.

20


 
Return of Unpurchased Shares. The Depositary will return certificates for unpurchased shares promptly after the expiration or termination of the Tender Offer or the proper withdrawal of the shares, as applicable, or, in the case of shares tendered by book-entry transfer at the book-entry transfer facility, the Depositary will credit the shares to the appropriate account maintained by the tendering shareholder at the book-entry transfer facility, in each case without expense to the shareholder.
 
Tendering Shareholders’ Representation and Warranty; Our Acceptance Constitutes an Agreement. It is a violation of Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Exchange Act for a person acting alone or in concert with others, directly or indirectly, to tender shares for such person’s own account unless at the time of tender and at the Expiration Time such person has a “net long position” in (i) a number of shares that is equal to or greater than the amount tendered and will deliver or cause to be delivered such shares for the purpose of tendering to us within the period specified in the Tender Offer or (ii) other securities immediately convertible into, exercisable for or exchangeable into shares (“Equivalent Securities”) that is equal to or greater than the number of shares tendered and, upon the acceptance of such tender, will acquire such shares by conversion, exchange, or exercise of such Equivalent Securities to the extent required by the terms of the Tender Offer and will deliver or cause to be delivered such shares so acquired for the purpose of tender to us within the period specified in the Tender Offer. Rule 14e-4 also provides a similar restriction applicable to the tender or guarantee of a tender on behalf of another person. A tender of shares made pursuant to any method of delivery set forth in this Offer to Purchase will constitute the tendering shareholder’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the Tender Offer, as well as the tendering shareholder’s representation and warranty to us that (i) such shareholder has a “net long position” in a number of shares or Equivalent Securities at least equal to the shares being tendered within the meaning of Rule 14e-4, and (ii) such tender of shares complies with Rule 14e-4. Our acceptance for payment of shares tendered pursuant to the Tender Offer will constitute a binding agreement between the tendering shareholder and us upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer.
 
Determination of Validity; Rejection of Shares; Waiver of Defects; No Obligation to Give Notice of Defects. All questions about the number of shares to be accepted, the price to be paid for shares to be accepted and the validity, form, eligibility (including time of receipt) and acceptance for payment of any tender of shares will be determined by us, in our sole discretion, and our determination will be final and binding on all parties. We reserve the absolute right prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer to reject any or all tenders we determine not to be in proper form or the acceptance for payment of or payment for which may, in the opinion of our counsel, be unlawful. We also reserve the absolute right, subject to applicable law, to waive any conditions of the Tender Offer with respect to all shareholders or any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to any particular shares or any particular shareholder. If we waive any defect or irregularity in any tender with respect to any shareholder, we will also waive such defect or irregularity with respect to all shareholders. No tender of shares will be deemed to have been validly made until all defects or irregularities relating to it have been cured or waived. Neither we nor the Depositary/Information Agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in tenders or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification. Our interpretation of the terms of and conditions to the Tender Offer, including the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions thereto, will be final and binding on all parties.
 
Lost Certificates. If the share certificates which a registered holder wants to surrender have been lost, destroyed or stolen, the shareholder should follow the instructions set forth in the Letter of Transmittal. See Instruction 9 of the Letter of Transmittal.
 
United States Federal Income Tax Withholding. Under the United States backup withholding rules, 28% of the gross proceeds payable to a shareholder or other payee pursuant to the Tender Offer must be withheld and remitted to the United States Treasury, unless the shareholder or other payee (i) provides its taxpayer identification number (i.e., its employer identification number or social security number) to the Depositary and certifies that such number is correct and that such shareholder is not subject to backup withholding, or (ii) establishes that an exemption from withholding otherwise applies under applicable regulations. Therefore, unless an exemption exists and is proven in a manner satisfactory to the Depositary, each tendering shareholder that is a U.S. Holder (as defined in Section 14) should complete and sign the Substitute Form W-9 included as part of the Letter of Transmittal so as to provide the information and certification necessary to avoid backup withholding. Certain shareholders (including, among others, certain corporations) are not subject to these backup withholding and reporting requirements. In order for a foreign shareholder to qualify as an exempt recipient, that shareholder must submit a statement (generally, an IRS Form W-8 BEN), signed under penalties of perjury, attesting to that shareholder’s exempt status. Such statements can be obtained from the Depositary. See Instruction 2 of the Letter of Transmittal.

21


 
ANY TENDERING SHAREHOLDER OR OTHER PAYEE THAT FAILS TO COMPLETE FULLY AND SIGN THE SUBSTITUTE FORM W-9 INCLUDED IN THE LETTER OF TRANSMITTAL (OR SUCH OTHER IRS FORM AS MAY BE APPLICABLE) MAY BE SUBJECT TO REQUIRED UNITED STATES BACKUP WITHHOLDING AT A RATE EQUAL TO 28% OF THE GROSS PROCEEDS PAID TO SUCH SHAREHOLDER OR OTHER PAYEE PURSUANT TO THE TENDER OFFER.
 
In addition, gross proceeds payable pursuant to the Tender Offer to a foreign shareholder or its agent will be subject to withholding of United States federal income tax at a rate of 30%, unless the Company determines that a reduced rate of withholding is applicable pursuant to a tax treaty or that an exemption from withholding is applicable because such gross proceeds are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States and, in either case, the foreign shareholder provides the appropriate certification, as described below. For this purpose, a foreign shareholder is any shareholder that is not for United States federal income tax purposes: (a) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (b) a corporation, partnership, or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (c) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (d) a trust if either: (1) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust, and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (2) a trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person under applicable Treasury Regulations.
 
A foreign shareholder may be eligible to file for a refund of such tax or a portion of such tax withheld if such shareholder meets the “complete termination,” “substantially disproportionate” or “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” tests described in Section 14 or if such shareholder is entitled to a reduced rate of withholding pursuant to a tax treaty and we withheld at a higher rate. In order to obtain a reduced rate of withholding under a tax treaty, a foreign shareholder must deliver to the Depositary before payment a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8BEN claiming such an exemption or reduction. Such forms can be obtained from the Depositary. In order to claim an exemption from withholding on the grounds that gross proceeds paid pursuant to the Tender Offer are effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, a foreign shareholder must deliver to the Depositary a properly completed and executed IRS Form W-8ECI claiming such exemption. Such forms can be obtained from the Depositary. See Instruction 2 of the Letter of Transmittal. Backup withholding generally will not apply to amounts subject to the 30% statutory or a treaty-reduced rate of withholding. Foreign shareholders are urged to consult their own tax advisors regarding the application of United States federal income tax withholding, including eligibility for a withholding tax reduction or exemption and the refund procedure.
 
For a discussion of material United States federal income tax consequences to tendering shareholders, see Section 14.
 
 
Except as this Section 4 otherwise provides, tenders of shares are irrevocable. You may withdraw shares that you have previously tendered in the Tender Offer according to the procedures described below at any time prior to the Expiration Time for all shares. You may also withdraw your previously tendered shares at any time after 5:00 P.M., Eastern Time, on August 15, 2007 unless such shares have been accepted for payment as provided in the Tender Offer.
 
For a withdrawal to be effective, a written notice of withdrawal must:
 
 
 
be received in a timely manner by the Depositary at one of its addresses listed on the back cover of this Offer to Purchase; and
 
 
 
specify the name of the person having tendered the shares to be withdrawn, the number of shares to be withdrawn and the name of the registered holder of the shares to be withdrawn, if different from the name of the person who tendered the shares.

22


 
If certificates for shares have been delivered or otherwise identified to the Depositary, then, prior to the physical release of those certificates, the serial numbers shown on those certificates must be submitted to the Depositary and, unless an eligible institution has tendered those shares, an eligible institution must guarantee the signatures on the notice of withdrawal.
 
If a shareholder has used more than one Letter of Transmittal or has otherwise tendered shares in more than one group of shares, the shareholder may withdraw shares using either separate notices of withdrawal or a combined notice of withdrawal, so long as the information specified above is included.
 
If shares have been delivered in accordance with the procedures for book-entry transfer described in Section 3, any notice of withdrawal must also specify the name and number of the account at the book-entry transfer facility to be credited with the withdrawn shares and otherwise comply with the book-entry transfer facility’s procedures.
 
Withdrawals of tenders of shares may not be rescinded and any shares properly withdrawn will thereafter be deemed not validly tendered for purposes of the Tender Offer. Withdrawn shares may be retendered at any time prior to the Expiration Time by again following one of the procedures described in Section 3.
 
We will decide, in our sole discretion, all questions as to the form and validity, including time of receipt, of notices of withdrawal, and each such decision will be final and binding on all parties. We also reserve the absolute right to waive any defect or irregularity in the withdrawal of shares by any shareholder. However, if we waive any defect or irregularity in any withdrawal with respect to any shareholder, we will also waive such defect or irregularity with respect to all shareholders. Neither we nor the Depositary and Information Agent nor any other person will be under any duty to give notification of any defects or irregularities in any notice of withdrawal or incur any liability for failure to give any such notification.
 
Participants in our 401(K) Plan who wish to have the trustee withdraw previously tendered shares attributable to their plan account must follow the procedures set forth in the “Letter to Hudson Technologies, Inc. 401(K) Savings Plan Participants” sent separately to each plan participant.
 
If we extend the Tender Offer, are delayed in our purchase of shares, or are unable to purchase shares in the Tender Offer as a result the occurrence of a condition disclosed in Section 7, then, without prejudice to our rights in the Tender Offer, the Depositary may, subject to applicable law, retain tendered shares on our behalf, and such shares may not be withdrawn except to the extent tendering shareholders are entitled to withdrawal rights as described in this Section 4. Our reservation of the right to delay payment for shares which we have accepted for payment is limited by Rule 13e-4(f)(5) promulgated under the Exchange Act, which requires that we must pay the consideration offered or return the shares tendered promptly after termination or withdrawal of a tender offer.
 
 
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer, promptly following the Expiration Time, we will accept for payment and pay the purchase price for (and thereby purchase) up to 1,167,400 shares (or such greater number of shares as we may elect to accept for payment, subject to applicable law) properly tendered and not properly withdrawn before the Expiration Time.
 
For purposes of the Tender Offer, we will be deemed to have accepted for payment (and therefore purchased), subject to the “odd lot” priority, proration and conditional tender provisions of this Tender Offer, shares that are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn only when, as and if we give oral or written notice to the Depositary of our acceptance of the shares for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer.
 
Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Tender Offer, we will accept for payment and pay the per share purchase price for all of the shares accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer promptly after the Expiration Time. In all cases, payment for shares tendered and accepted for payment pursuant to the Tender Offer will be made promptly, subject to possible delay in the event of proration, but only after timely receipt by the Depositary of:

23

 
 
 
certificates for shares or a timely book-entry confirmation of the deposit of shares into the Depositary’s account at the book-entry transfer facility;
 
 
 
a properly completed and duly executed Letter of Transmittal (or, in the case of a book-entry transfer, an agent’s message); and
 
 
 
any other required documents.
 
We will pay for shares purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer by depositing the aggregate purchase price for the shares with the Depositary, which will act as agent for tendering shareholders for the purpose of receiving payment from us and transmitting payment to the tendering shareholders.
 
In the event of proration, we will determine the proration factor and pay for those tendered shares accepted for payment promptly after the Expiration Time. However, we expect that we will not be able to announce the final results of any proration or commence payment for any shares purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer until up to ten business days after the Expiration Time. Unless a shareholder specifies otherwise in the Letter of Transmittal, certificates for all shares tendered and not purchased, including all shares not purchased due to proration or conditional tender, will be returned or, in the case of shares tendered by book-entry transfer, will be credited to the account maintained with the book-entry transfer facility by the participant who delivered the shares, to the tendering shareholder at our expense promptly after the Expiration Time or termination of the Tender Offer.
 
Under no circumstances will we pay interest on the purchase price, including but not limited to, by reason of any delay in making payment. In addition, if certain events occur, we may not be obligated to purchase shares pursuant to the Tender Offer. See Section 7.
 
We will pay all stock transfer taxes, if any, payable on the transfer to us of shares purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer. If, however, payment of the purchase price is to be made to, or (in the circumstances permitted by the Tender Offer) if unpurchased shares are to be registered in the name of, any person other than the registered holder, or if tendered certificates are registered in the name of any person other than the person signing the Letter of Transmittal, the amount of all stock transfer taxes, if any (whether imposed on the registered holder or the other person), payable on account of the transfer to the person will be deducted from the purchase price unless satisfactory evidence of the payment of the stock transfer taxes, or exemption from payment of the stock transfer taxes, is submitted.
 
Any tendering shareholder or other payee that fails to complete fully, sign and return to the Depositary the Substitute Form W-9 included in the Letter of Transmittal (or such other IRS form as may be applicable) may be subject to required United States backup withholding at a rate equal to 28% of the gross proceeds paid to the shareholder or other payee pursuant to the Tender Offer. See Section 3. Also see Section 3 regarding U.S. federal income tax consequences for foreign shareholders.
 
 
Subject to the exception for Odd Lot Holders, in the event of an over-subscription of the Tender Offer, shares tendered prior to the Expiration Time will be subject to proration. See Section 1. As discussed in Section 14, the number of shares to be purchased from a particular shareholder may affect the tax treatment of the purchase to the shareholder and the shareholder’s decision whether to tender. Accordingly, a shareholder may tender shares subject to the condition that a specified minimum number of the shareholder’s shares tendered pursuant to a Letter of Transmittal must be purchased if any shares tendered are purchased. Any shareholder desiring to make a conditional tender must so indicate in the section entitled “Conditional Tender” in the Letter of Transmittal, and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
 
Any tendering shareholder wishing to make a conditional tender must calculate and appropriately indicate the minimum number of shares that must be purchased if any are to be purchased. After the Tender Offer expires, if more than 1,167,400 shares (or such greater number of shares as we may elect to accept for payment, subject to applicable law) are properly tendered and not properly withdrawn, so that we must prorate our acceptance of and payment for tendered shares, we will calculate a preliminary proration percentage based upon all shares properly tendered, conditionally or unconditionally. If the effect of this preliminary proration would be to reduce the number of shares to be purchased from any shareholder below the minimum number specified, the tender will automatically be regarded as withdrawn (except as provided in the next paragraph). All shares tendered by a shareholder subject to a conditional tender and regarded as withdrawn as a result of proration will be returned at our expense, promptly after the Expiration Time.

24


 
After giving effect to these withdrawals, we will accept the remaining shares properly tendered, conditionally or unconditionally, on a pro rata basis, if necessary. If conditional tenders would otherwise be regarded as withdrawn and would cause the total number of shares to be purchased to fall below 1,167,400 (or such greater number of shares as we may elect to accept for payment, subject to applicable law) then, to the extent feasible, we will select enough of the conditional tenders that would otherwise have been withdrawn to permit us to purchase 1,167,400 shares (or such greater number of shares as we may elect to accept for payment, subject to applicable law). In selecting among the conditional tenders, we will select by random lot, treating all tenders by a particular taxpayer as a single lot, and will limit our purchase in each case to the designated minimum number of shares to be purchased. To be eligible for purchase by random lot, shareholders whose shares are conditionally tendered must have tendered all of their shares.
 
 
Notwithstanding any other provision of the Tender Offer, we will not be required to accept for payment, purchase or pay for any shares tendered, and may terminate or amend the Tender Offer or may postpone the acceptance for payment of, or the purchase of and the payment for shares tendered, subject to Rule 13e-4(f)(5) under the Exchange Act (which requires that the issuer making the tender offer shall either pay the consideration offered or return tendered securities promptly after the termination or withdrawal of the tender offer), if at any time prior to the Expiration Time any of the following events has occurred (or shall have been reasonably determined by us to have occurred) that, in our reasonable judgment and regardless of the circumstances giving rise to the event or events (other than any such event or events that are proximately caused by our action or failure to act), make it inadvisable to proceed with the Tender Offer or with acceptance for payment:
 
 
 
there has occurred any change in the general political, market, economic or financial conditions, domestically or internationally, that is reasonably likely to materially and adversely affect our business or the trading in the shares, including, but not limited to, the following:
 
 
 
any general suspension of, or general limitation on prices for, or trading in, securities on any national securities exchange in the United States or in the over-the-counter market;
 
 
 
a declaration of a banking moratorium or any suspension of payments in respect of banks in the United States or any limitation (whether or not mandatory) by any governmental agency or authority on, or any other event that, in our reasonable judgment, could reasonably be expected to adversely affect, the extension of credit by banks or other financial institutions in the United States;
 
 
 
the commencement of a war, armed hostilities or other similar national or international calamity directly or indirectly involving the United States after June 28, 2007 or any material escalation of any war or armed hostilities which had commenced on or prior to June 28, 2007;
 
 
 
a decrease in excess of 10% in the market price for the shares or in the Dow Jones Industrial Average, NASDAQ Composite Index or the S&P 500 Composite Index; or
 
 
 
legislation amending the Code (as defined in Section 14) having been passed by either the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate or being pending before the U.S. House of Representatives or the Senate or any committee thereof, the effect of which, in our reasonable judgment, would be to change the tax consequences of the transaction contemplated by the Tender Offer in any manner that would adversely affect us or any of our affiliates;
 
 
 
there has been instituted, threatened, or been pending any action, proceeding, application or counterclaim by or before any court or governmental, administrative or regulatory agency or authority, domestic or foreign, or any other person or tribunal, domestic or foreign, which:
 
 
 
challenges or seeks to challenge, restrain, prohibit or delay the making of the Tender Offer, the acquisition by us of the shares in the Tender Offer, or any other matter relating to the Tender Offer, or seeks to obtain any material damages or otherwise relating to the transactions contemplated by the Tender Offer;
 
25

 
 
 
seeks to make the purchase of, or payment for, some or all of the shares pursuant to the Tender Offer illegal or results in a delay in our ability to accept for payment or pay for some or all of the shares; or
 
 
 
seeks to impose limitations on our ability (or any affiliate of ours) to acquire the shares or otherwise could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the business, properties, assets, liabilities, capitalization, shareholders’ equity, financial condition, operations, licenses, results of operations or prospects of us, our subsidiaries and our affiliates, taken as a whole, or the value of the shares;
 
 
 
any action has been taken or any statute, rule, regulation, judgment, decree, injunction or order (preliminary, permanent or otherwise) has been proposed, sought, enacted, entered, promulgated, enforced or deemed to be applicable to the Tender Offer or us or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates by any court, government or governmental agency or other regulatory or administrative authority, domestic or foreign, which, in our reasonable judgment:
 
 
 
indicates that any approval or other action of any such court, agency or authority may be required in connection with the Tender Offer or the purchase of shares thereunder;
 
 
 
could reasonably be expected to prohibit, restrict or delay consummation of the Tender Offer; or
 
 
 
otherwise could reasonably be expected to materially adversely affect the business, properties, assets, liabilities, capitalization, shareholders’ equity, financial condition, operations, licenses or results of operations of us, our subsidiaries and our affiliates, taken as a whole;
 
 
 
a tender or exchange offer for any or all of our outstanding shares (other than this Tender Offer), or any merger, acquisition, business combination or other similar transaction with or involving us or any subsidiary, has been proposed, announced or made by any person or entity or has been publicly disclosed;
 
 
 
we learn that any entity, “group” (as that term is used in Section 13(d) (3) of the Exchange Act) or person has acquired or proposes to acquire beneficial ownership of more than 5% of our outstanding shares, whether through the acquisition of stock, the formation of a group, the grant of any option or right, or otherwise (other than anyone who acquired such ownership in connection with the Transactions, or anyone who publicly disclosed such ownership in a filing with the SEC on or before June 28, 2007);
  
 
 
any change (or condition, event or development involving a prospective change) in the business, properties, assets, liabilities, capitalization, shareholders’ equity, financial condition, operations, licenses, results of operations or prospects of us or any of our subsidiaries or affiliates, that, in our reasonable judgment, does or is reasonably likely to have a materially adverse effect on us, our subsidiaries and our affiliates, taken as a whole, or we have become aware of any fact that, in our reasonable judgment, does or is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on the value of the shares;
 
 
 
any approval, permit, authorization, favorable review or consent of any governmental entity required to be obtained in connection with the Tender Offer has not been obtained on terms satisfactory to us in our reasonable discretion; or
 
 
 
we determine that the consummation of the Tender Offer and the purchase of the shares is reasonably likely to:
 
 
 
cause the shares to be held of record by less than 300 persons; or
 
 
 
cause the shares to be delisted from NASDAQ or to be eligible for deregistration under the Exchange Act.
 
The conditions referred to above are for our sole benefit and may be asserted by us regardless of the circumstances giving rise to any of these conditions (other than conditions that are proximately caused by our action or failure to act), and may be waived by us, in whole or in part, at any time and from time to time in our reasonable discretion before the Expiration Time. Our failure at any time to exercise any of the foregoing rights will not be deemed a waiver of any right, and each such right will be deemed an ongoing right that may be asserted at any time and from time to time prior to the Expiration Time. Our right to terminate or amend the Tender Offer or to postpone the acceptance for payment of, or the purchase of and the payment for shares tendered if any of the above listed events occur (or shall have been reasonably determined by us to have occurred) at any time prior to the Expiration Time shall not be affected by any subsequent event regardless of whether such subsequent event would have otherwise resulted in the event having been “cured” or ceasing to exist. Any determination by us concerning the events described above will be final and binding on all parties.

On June 28, 2007, the last full trading day before the commencement of the Tender Offer, the reported closing price of the shares on NASDAQ was $1.12 per share. We urge shareholders to obtain a current market price for the shares before deciding whether to tender their shares. 
 
9. Source and Amount of Funds

On June 28, 2007, we used $3,692,520 of the Loan Proceeds to purchase and retire 5,680,800 shares from Fleming at a price of $0.65 per share pursuant to the Agreement. An additional $1,307,488 of the Loan Proceeds will be used to buy back and retire up to 1,167,400 shares through this Tender Offer.

To the extent that the shareholders do not elect to accept the Tender Offer, and some or all of the Tender Offer Funds have not been used in the Tender Offer, following expiration of the Tender Offer, the Company will, in accordance with the Agreement, utilize all of the remaining Tender Offer Funds to complete the Contingent Purchase. In accordance with Exchange Act Rule 13e-4(f), the Contingent Purchase will not occur until at least ten (10) business days after the expiration of the Tender Offer.

Assuming that the maximum of 1,167,400 shares are tendered in the Tender Offer at $1.12 per share, the aggregate purchase price will be $1,307,488. We anticipate that the shares tendered in the Tender Offer will be paid out of the Loan Proceeds, and that all other related fees and expenses will be paid from our cash and short-term investments.

10. Information About Hudson Technologies, Inc.
 
General
 
The Company is a refrigerant services company providing innovative solutions to recurring problems within the refrigeration industry. The Company's products and services are primarily used in commercial air conditioning, industrial processing and refrigeration systems, including (i) refrigerant sales, (ii) RefrigerantSide® Services performed at a customer's site, consisting of system decontamination to remove moisture, oils and other contaminants and (iii) refrigerant management services consisting primarily of reclamation of refrigerants.
 
Products and Services
 
From its inception, the Company has sold refrigerants, and has provided refrigerant reclamation and management services that are designed to preserve refrigerants, thereby protecting the environment from ozone depletion. In addition, the reclamation process allows the refrigerant to be re-used thereby eliminating the need to destroy or manufacture additional refrigerant and eliminating the corresponding impact to the environment associated with the destruction and manufacturing. Today, these offerings represent most of the Company’s revenues. For the past several years, the Company has created alternative solutions to reactive and preventative maintenance procedures that are performed on commercial and industrial refrigeration systems. These services, known as RefrigerantSide® Services, compliment the Company’s refrigerant sales and refrigerant reclamation and management services. In addition, the Company has developed Performance Optimization services that identify inefficiencies in the operation of air conditioning and refrigeration systems and assists companies to improve the efficiency of their systems and save energy. The Company believes that it’s RefrigerantSide® Services, including Performance Optimization services, represent the Company’s long term growth potential. Each of the Company’s products and services are more fully described below.
 
RefrigerantSide® Services
 
The Company provides decontamination and recovery services that are performed at a customer's site through the use of portable, high volume, high-speed proprietary equipment, including its patented Zugibeast® system. Certain of these RefrigerantSide® Services, which encompass system decontamination, and refrigerant recovery and reclamation are also proprietary and are covered by process patents.
 
In addition to the decontamination and recovery services previously described, the Company also provides predictive and diagnostic services for its customers. The Company offers diagnostic services that are intended to predict potential problems in air conditioning and refrigeration systems before they occur. The Company’s Chiller Chemistry® offering integrates several fluid tests of an operating system and integrates the laboratory results into an engineering report providing its customers with an understanding of the current condition of the fluids, the cause for any abnormal findings and the potential consequences if the abnormal findings are not remediated. ChillSmart® combines the diagnostic information of Chiller Chemistry® with a detailed performance evaluation for an operating refrigeration system and recommendations for eliminating any inefficiencies that may have been discovered.
 
In 2003, the Company was awarded an United States patent for its Performance Optimization System, which is a system for measuring, modifying and improving the efficiency of energy systems, including air conditioning and refrigeration systems, in industrial and commercial applications. Hudson’s Performance Optimization Services are able to identify specific inefficiencies in the operation of refrigeration systems and, when used with Hudson’s RefrigerantSide® Services, can increase the efficiency of the operating systems thereby reducing energy usage and costs. These inefficiencies require power generating companies to produce more energy and, in many instances increase CO2 emissions to produce the excess energy. Consequently, not only is Hudson’s reclamation system beneficial to the environment, but Hudson’s Performance Optimization Services recommendations are also designed to achieve an overall reduction in CO2 emissions. The Company’s Performance Optimization Services have allowed the Company to become an Energy Star® Service and Product Provider Partner. The Company’s Performance Optimization System can be customized to a particular customer’s refrigeration system, such as at an industrial facility that utilizes refrigeration in its manufacturing processes, or offered as a stand alone product that can be used with air conditioning and packaged refrigeration systems, such as a comfort cooling application in large office buildings. When the Company combines it Performance Optimization System with its Chiller Chemistry® the Company calls this combined offering ChillSmart®.

Refrigerant Sales

The Company sells reclaimed and virgin (new) refrigerants to a variety of customers in various segments of the air conditioning and refrigeration industry. Virgin, non-chlorofluorocarbon (“CFC”) refrigerants, including hydro-chlorofluorocarbon refrigerants, are purchased by the Company from several suppliers and resold by the Company, typically at wholesale. The Company continues to sell reclaimed CFC based refrigerants, which are no longer manufactured. The Company regularly purchases used or contaminated refrigerants, some of which are CFC based, from many different sources, which refrigerants are then reclaimed using the Company's high volume proprietary reclamation equipment, the Zugibeast ® system, and resold by the Company.
 
Refrigerant Management Services

The Company provides a complete offering of refrigerant management services, which primarily include reclamation of refrigerants, laboratory testing, through the Company’s Air Conditioning and Refrigeration Institute certified lab, and banking (storage) services tailored to individual customer requirements. Hudson also separates “crossed” (i.e. commingled) refrigerants and provides re-usable cylinder repair and hydrostatic testing services.

11. Interest of Directors and Executive Officers; Transactions and Arrangements Concerning the Shares

Immediately prior to the Transactions there were 25,915,464 shares of our Common Stock issued and outstanding. Also, immediately prior to the Transactions, the percentage beneficial ownership of our directors and executive officers as a group (9 persons) was approximately 7.8%.
 
On June 28, 2007, the Company and the Purchasing Members entered into the Transactions with Fleming pursuant to which Fleming agreed to sell between 14,911,600 and 16,079,000 shares of Common Stock. Pursuant to the Management Agreements, on June 28, 2007, the Purchasing Members purchased the Management Shares from Fleming in a private transaction, for their individual accounts with their own private funds, at a purchase price of $0.65 per share for a total consideration of $6,000,020. Pursuant to the Agreement, on June 28, 2007, the Company has purchased from Fleming, and retired, the Retired Shares at a purchase price of $0.65 per share, for a total consideration of $3,692,520. As part of the Agreement, the Company has agreed to make this Tender Offer to all shareholders. Fleming has advised that it does not intend to tender any of its shares in the Tender Offer.
 
Assuming that all of the Tender Offer Funds have been used in the Tender Offer, the Company will purchase and retire a total of 1,167,400 shares of the Company’s Common Stock in the Tender Offer. Upon full consummation of the Agreement and completion of the Tender Offer and/or the Contingent Purchase, the percentage beneficial ownership of our directors and officers as a group (9 persons) will increase to approximately 54.1%. However, our directors and executive officers may, in compliance with stock ownership guidelines and applicable law, sell their shares in open market or other transactions at prices that may or may not be more favorable than the purchase price to be paid to our shareholders in the Tender Offer.

The aggregate number and percentage of shares of our Common Stock that were beneficially owned by our current directors and executive officers, immediately prior to the Transactions, and as of the completion of the Transactions, are as set forth in the table below. Assuming we purchase an aggregate of 1,167,400 shares in the Tender Offer, and no director or executive officer or Fleming tenders any shares in the Tender Offer and that there are no Tender Offer Funds available to make the Contingent Purchase, the percentage beneficial ownership of each director and executive officer after the Tender Offer will be approximately as set forth in the table below.

12. Effects of the Tender Offer on the Market for Shares; Registration under the Exchange Act
 
The purchase by us of shares in the Tender Offer will reduce the number of shares that might otherwise be traded publicly and is likely to reduce the number of shareholders. However, we believe that there will be a sufficient number of shares outstanding and publicly traded following completion of the Tender Offer to ensure a continued trading market for the shares. Based upon published guidelines of NASDAQ, we do not believe that our purchase of shares in the Tender Offer will cause the remaining outstanding shares to be delisted from NASDAQ. The Tender Offer is conditioned upon there not being any reasonable likelihood, in our reasonable judgment, that the consummation of the Tender Offer and the purchase of shares will cause the shares to be delisted from NASDAQ. See Section 7.
 
The shares are registered under the Exchange Act, which requires, among other things, that we furnish certain information to our shareholders and the SEC and comply with the SEC’s proxy rules in connection with meetings of our shareholders. We believe that our purchase of shares in the Tender Offer pursuant to the terms of the Tender Offer will not result in the shares becoming eligible for deregistration under the Exchange Act.
 
 
We are not aware of any license or regulatory permit that is material to our business that might be adversely affected by our acquisition of shares as contemplated by the Tender Offer or of any approval or other action by any government or governmental, administrative or regulatory authority or agency, domestic, foreign or supranational, that would be required for the acquisition of shares by us as contemplated by the Tender Offer. Should any such approval or other action be required, we presently contemplate that we will seek that approval or other action where practicable within the time period contemplated by the Tender Offer. We are unable to predict whether we will be required to delay the acceptance for payment of or payment for shares tendered in the Tender Offer pending the outcome of any such matter. There can be no assurance that any such approval or other action, if needed, would be obtained or would be obtained without substantial cost or conditions or that the failure to obtain the approval or other action might not result in adverse consequences to our business or financial condition.
 
 
The following describes material United States federal income tax consequences relevant to the Tender Offer for U.S. Holders (as defined below). This discussion is based upon the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) existing and proposed Treasury Regulations, administrative pronouncements and judicial decisions.
 
This discussion deals only with shareholders who hold their shares as capital assets. This discussion does not deal with all tax consequences that may be relevant to all categories of holders (such as brokers and dealers in securities, foreign currencies, or commodities, traders in securities that elect to mark their holdings to market, financial institutions, banks, regulated investment companies, real estate investment trusts, holders treated as partnerships for federal tax purposes, holders whose functional currency is not the United States dollar, insurance companies, tax-exempt organizations, foreign persons, expatriots, holders with shares received through the exercise of qualified incentive stock options or in other compensatory transactions, holders who may be subject to the alternative minimum tax or personal holding company provisions of the Code, holders who acquire their shares through any 401(K) plan, deferred compensation plan or retirement plan, or holders who hold shares as part of a hedging, integrated, conversion or constructive sale transaction or as a position in a straddle). This discussion does not address the state, local or foreign tax consequences of participating in the Tender Offer. Holders of shares should consult their tax advisors as to the particular consequences to them of participation in the Tender Offer.
 
As used herein, a “U.S. Holder” means a beneficial holder of shares that is for United States federal income tax purposes: (a) an individual citizen or resident of the United States, (b) a corporation, partnership, or other entity created or organized in or under the laws of the United States, any state thereof or the District of Columbia, (c) an estate the income of which is subject to United States federal income taxation regardless of its source, or (d) a trust if either: (A) a United States court is able to exercise primary supervision over the administration of the trust, and one or more United States persons have the authority to control all substantial decisions of the trust or (B) a trust has a valid election in effect to be treated as a United States person under applicable treasury regulations. The term also includes nonresident alien individuals, foreign corporations, foreign partnerships, and foreign estates and trusts (“foreign shareholders”) to the extent that their ownership of the shares is effectively connected with the conduct of a trade or business within the United States, as well as certain former citizens and residents of the United States who, under certain circumstances, are taxed on income from U.S. sources as if they were citizens or residents. It should also be noted that certain “single member entities” are disregarded for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Such foreign shareholders that are single member non-corporate entities, should consult with their own tax advisors to determine the U.S. federal, state, local, and other tax consequences that may be relevant to them.

33


 
FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE UNITED STATES FEDERAL INCOME TAX CONSEQUENCES AND ANY APPLICABLE FOREIGN TAX CONSEQUENCES OF THE TENDER OFFER AND ALSO SHOULD SEE SECTION 3 FOR A DISCUSSION OF APPLICABLE UNITED STATES WITHHOLDING RULES AND THE POTENTIAL FOR OBTAINING A REFUND OF ALL OR A PORTION OF ANY TAX WITHHELD.
 
If a limited liability company or partnership holds shares, the tax treatment of a member or partner will generally depend upon the status of such person and the activities of the limited liability company or partnership. A U.S. Holder that is a limited liability company or partnership should consult its own tax advisors regarding the treatment of its members or partners.
 
Non-Participation in the Tender Offer. U.S. Holders that do not participate in the Tender Offer will not incur any tax liability as a result of the consummation of the Tender Offer.
 
Exchange of Shares Pursuant to the Tender Offer. An exchange of shares for cash pursuant to the Tender Offer will be a taxable transaction for United States federal income tax purposes. A U.S. Holder that participates in the Tender Offer will be treated, depending on such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances, either as recognizing gain or loss from the disposition of the shares or as receiving a dividend distribution from the Company.
 
Sale or Exchange Treatment. Under Section 302 of the Code, a U.S. Holder whose shares are exchanged in the Tender Offer will be treated as having sold such U.S. Holder’s shares, and thus will recognize capital gain or loss if the exchange (a) results in a “complete termination” of all such U.S. Holder’s equity interest in the Company, (b) results in a “substantially disproportionate” redemption with respect to such U.S. Holder, or (c) is “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” to the U.S. Holder. In applying the Section 302 tests, a U.S. Holder must take into account stock that such U.S. Holder constructively owns under attribution rules, pursuant to which the U.S. Holder will be treated as owning Company shares owned by certain family members (except that in the case of a “complete termination” a U.S. Holder may waive, under certain circumstances, attribution from family members) and related entities and Company stock that the U.S. Holder has the right to acquire by exercise of an option.
 
An exchange results in a “complete termination” of a U.S. Holder’s equity interest in the Company if all of the shares that are owned or deemed owned by the U.S. Holder are exchanged in the Tender Offer.
 
An exchange of shares for cash will be a “substantially disproportionate” redemption with respect to a U.S. Holder if (i) the percentage of the then-outstanding voting shares owned or deemed owned by such U.S. Holder in the Company immediately after the exchange is less than 80% of the percentage of shares owned or deemed owned by such U.S. Holder in the Company immediately before the exchange, and (ii) immediately after the exchange, the U.S. Holder owns less than 50% of the total combined voting power of all classes of stock entitled to vote.
 
If an exchange of shares for cash in the Tender Offer does not qualify as a “complete termination” of the U.S. Holder’s interest in the Company and also fails to satisfy the “substantially disproportionate” test, the U.S. Holder nonetheless may satisfy the “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test. An exchange of shares for cash will satisfy the “not essentially equivalent to a dividend” test if it results in a “meaningful reduction” of the U.S. Holder’s equity interest in the Company. The IRS has indicated in a published revenue ruling that an exchange of shares for cash that results in a reduction of the proportionate equity interest in the Company of a U.S. Holder whose relative equity interest in the Company is minimal (an interest of less than one percent should satisfy this requirement) and that does not exercise any control over or participate in the management of the Company’s corporate affairs should be treated as “not essentially equivalent to a dividend.” For purposes of applying the rules of Section 302 discussed above, it is likely that the transactions between Fleming and the Company, and between Fleming and certain members of management, described herein, will be taken into account.  Thus, these transactions may affect the determination as to whether a U.S. Holder will be treated as having received a dividend or as having sold his or her shares.  Additionally, the determination as to whether a U.S. Holder will be treated as having received a dividend or as having sold his or her shares may also be affected by any other transaction that such U.S. Holder or a related party enters into with respect to the Company's stock either before or after the Tender Offer. A U.S. Holder should consult its tax advisor regarding the application of the rules of Section 302 in such U.S. Holder’s particular circumstances.

34

 
If a U.S. Holder is treated as having sold such U.S. Holder’s shares for cash, such gain or loss will be equal to the difference between the amount of cash received and such U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis in the shares exchanged therefor. Any such gain or loss will be capital gain or loss and will be long-term capital gain or loss if the U.S. Holder has held the shares for more than one year as of the date of the exchange. Specific limitations may apply to the deductibility of capital losses by U.S. Holders.
 
Dividend Treatment. If a U.S. Holder does not meet the requirements of Section 302 of the Code, the exchange of the U.S. Holder’s shares by the Company in the Tender Offer will not be treated as a sale or
exchange under Section 302 of the Code with respect to the U.S. Holder. Instead, the cash received by such U.S. Holder pursuant to the exchange will be treated as a dividend to the extent of the portion of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits allocable to such shares. To the extent that amounts received pursuant to the Tender Offer exceed a U.S. Holder’s allocable share of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits, the distribution will first be treated as a non-taxable return of capital, causing a reduction in the adjusted tax basis of such U.S. Holder’s shares, and any amounts in excess of the U.S. Holder’s adjusted tax basis will constitute capital gain. If such U.S. Holder does not receive an amount sufficient to reduce his tax basis to zero, any remaining adjusted tax basis in the shares tendered will be transferred to any remaining shares held by such U.S. Holder. The amount of the current and accumulated earnings and profits of the Company has not been established.
 
Provided certain holding period requirements are satisfied, non-corporate holders generally will be subject to United States federal income tax at a maximum rate of 15% on amounts treated as dividends.
 
To the extent that cash received in exchange for shares is treated as a dividend to a corporate U.S. Holder, (i) it will be eligible for a dividends-received deduction (subject to applicable limitations) to the extent of the earnings and profits of the Company and (ii) it will be subject to the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of Section 1059 of the Code. Corporate U.S. Holders should consult their tax advisors concerning the availability of the dividends-received deduction and the application of the “extraordinary dividend” provisions of the Code in their particular circumstances.
 
We cannot predict whether or the extent to which the Tender Offer will be oversubscribed. If the Tender Offer is oversubscribed, proration of tenders pursuant to the Tender Offer will cause the Company to accept fewer shares than are tendered. Therefore, a U.S. Holder can be given no assurance that a sufficient number of such U.S. Holder’s shares will be purchased pursuant to the Tender Offer to ensure that such purchase will be treated as a sale or exchange, rather than as a dividend, for United States federal income tax purposes pursuant to the rules discussed above.
 
See Section 3 with respect to the application of United States federal income tax withholding and backup withholding.
 
THE PRECEDING DISCUSSION DOES NOT PURPORT TO BE A COMPLETE ANALYSIS OR DISCUSSION OF ALL THE POTENTIAL TAX CONSIDERATIONS RELEVANT TO THE TENDER OFFER. THE FEDERAL TAX DISCUSSION SET FORTH ABOVE MAY NOT BE APPLICABLE DEPENDING UPON A HOLDER’S PARTICULAR SITUATION. HOLDERS SHOULD CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS CONCERNING THE TAX IMPLICATIONS OF THE TENDER OFFER UNDER APPLICABLE FEDERAL, STATE OR LOCAL LAWS. FOREIGN SHAREHOLDERS SHOULD ALSO CONSULT THEIR OWN TAX ADVISORS REGARDING THE TAX CONSEQUENCES UNIQUE TO HOLDERS WHO ARE NOT U.S. PERSONS.

15. Extension of the Tender Offer; Termination; Amendment
 
We expressly reserve the right, in our sole discretion, to terminate the Tender Offer if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 have occurred and to reject for payment and not pay for any shares not theretofore accepted for payment or paid for or, subject to applicable law, to postpone payment for shares by giving oral or written notice of such termination or postponement to the Depositary and making a public announcement of such termination or postponement. Our reservation of the right to delay payment for shares which we have accepted for payment is limited by Rule 13e-4(f)(5) promulgated under the Exchange Act, which requires that we must pay the consideration offered or return the shares tendered promptly after termination or withdrawal of a tender offer. Subject to compliance with applicable law, we further reserve the right, in our sole discretion, if any of the conditions set forth in Section 7 have occurred, to amend the Tender Offer in any respect, including, without limitation, by decreasing or increasing the consideration offered in the Tender Offer to holders of shares or by decreasing or increasing the number of shares being sought in the Tender Offer. Amendments to the Tender Offer may be made at any time and from time to time effected by public announcement, such announcement, in the case of an extension, to be issued no later than 9:00 a.m., Eastern Time, on the next business day after the last previously scheduled or announced Expiration Time. Any public announcement made in the Tender Offer will be disseminated promptly to shareholders in a manner reasonably designed to inform shareholders of such change. Without limiting the manner in which we may choose to make a public announcement, except as required by applicable law, we shall have no obligation to publish, advertise or otherwise communicate any such public announcement other than by making a release through PR Newswire or another comparable service. In addition, we would file such press release as an exhibit to the Schedule TO.
 
If we materially change the terms of the Tender Offer or the information concerning the Tender Offer, we will extend the Tender Offer to the extent required by Rules 13e-4(e)(3) and 13e-4(f)(1) promulgated under the Exchange Act. These rules and certain related releases and interpretations of the SEC provide that the minimum period during which a tender offer must remain open following material changes in the terms of the Tender Offer or information concerning the Tender Offer (other than a change in price or a change in percentage of securities sought) will depend on the facts and circumstances, including the relative materiality of such terms or information; however, in no event will the Tender Offer remain open for fewer than five business days following such a material change in the terms of, or information concerning, the Tender Offer. If (1)(i) we make any change to the price at which we are offering to purchase shares in the Tender Offer, (ii) decrease the number of shares being sought in the Tender Offer, or (iii) increase the number of shares being sought in the Tender Offer by more than 2% of our outstanding shares and (2) the Tender Offer is scheduled to expire at any time earlier than the expiration of a period ending on the tenth business day from, and including, the date that such notice of an increase or decrease is first published, sent or given to shareholders in the manner specified in this Section 15, the Tender Offer will be extended until the expiration of such ten business day period.
 
 
We have retained Continental Stock Transfer & Trust Company (“Continental”) to act as Depositary in connection with the Tender Offer. Continental may contact holders of shares by mail, facsimile and personal interviews and may request brokers, dealers and other nominee shareholders to forward materials relating to the Tender Offer to beneficial owners. Continental will receive reasonable and customary amounts of compensation for its services, will be reimbursed by us for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses and will be indemnified against certain liabilities in connection with the Tender Offer, including certain liabilities under the federal securities laws.
 
We will not pay any fees or commissions to brokers, dealers or other persons (other than fees to the Information Agent as described above) for soliciting tenders of shares in the Tender Offer. Shareholders holding shares through brokers or banks are urged to consult the brokers or banks to determine whether transaction costs may apply if shareholders tender shares through the brokers or banks and not directly to the Depositary. We will, however, upon request, reimburse brokers, dealers and commercial banks for customary mailing and handling expenses incurred by them in forwarding the Tender Offer and related materials to the beneficial owners of shares held by them as a nominee or in a fiduciary capacity. No broker, dealer, commercial bank or trust company has been authorized to act as our agent or the agent of the Information Agent and the Depositary for purposes of the Tender Offer. We will pay or cause to be paid all stock transfer taxes, if any, on our purchase of shares, except as otherwise described in Section 5.
 

36


 
17. Miscellaneous
 
Pursuant to Rule 13e-4(c)(2) under the Exchange Act, we have filed with the SEC an Issuer Tender Offer Statement on Schedule TO, which contains additional information with respect to the Tender Offer. The Schedule TO, including the exhibits and any amendments and supplements thereto, may be examined, and copies may be obtained, at the same places and in the same manner as is set forth in Section 10 with respect to information concerning us.
 
Our Board of Directors has authorized us to use any Tender Offer Funds remaining after payment of all shares purchased in this Tender Offer to purchase additional shares of Common Stock from Flemings at the same price as shares purchased in the this Tender Offer. We expect these repurchases to be made promptly after the expiration of the waiting period required by Rule 13e-4(f) under the Exchange Act which prohibits us from purchasing any shares, other than in the Tender Offer until at least 10 business days after the Expiration Time. Accordingly, any additional purchases outside the Tender Offer, including from Flemings, may not be consummated until at least 10 business days after the Expiration Time.
 
This Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal do not constitute an offer to purchase securities in any jurisdiction in which such offer is not permitted or would not be permitted. If we become aware of any jurisdiction where the making of the Tender Offer or the acceptance of shares pursuant thereto is not in compliance with applicable law, we will make a good faith effort to comply with the applicable law where practicable. If, after such good faith effort, we cannot comply with the applicable law, the Tender Offer will not be made to (nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of) the holders of shares in such jurisdiction.
 
You should only rely on the information contained in this Offer to Purchase or to which we have referred to you. We have not authorized any person to make any recommendation on behalf of us as to whether you should tender or refrain from tendering your shares in the Tender Offer. We have not authorized any person to give any information or to make any representation in connection with the Tender Offer other than those contained in this Offer to Purchase or in the Letter of Transmittal. If anyone makes any recommendation, gives you any information or makes any representation, you must not rely upon that recommendation, information or representation as having been authorized by us, the Depositary and Information Agent.

Note: Signatures must be provided below. Please read the accompanying instructions carefully

Ladies and Gentlemen:
 
The undersigned hereby tenders to the Company the above-described shares of common stock, at the price per share indicated in this Letter of Transmittal, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase (receipt of which is hereby acknowledged) and in this Letter of Transmittal (which, together with the Offer to Purchase, as they may be amended and supplemented from time to time, constitute the tender offer).

Subject to, and effective upon, acceptance for payment of the shares tendered in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer, including, if the tender offer is extended or amended, the terms and conditions of the extension or amendment, the undersigned agrees to sell, assign and transfer to, or upon the order of the Company, all right, title and interest in and to all shares tendered and orders the registration of all shares if tendered by book-entry transfer and irrevocably constitutes and appoints the Depositary as the true and lawful agent and attorney-in-fact of the undersigned with respect to the shares with full knowledge that the Depositary also acts as the agent of the Company, with full power of substitution (the power of attorney being deemed to be an irrevocable power coupled with an interest), to: (1) deliver certificates representing the shares or transfer ownership of the shares on the account books maintained by any book-entry transfer facility (as defined in the Offer to Purchase), together, in either case, with all accompanying evidences of transfer and authenticity, to or upon the order of the Company upon receipt by the Depositary, as the undersigned’s agent, of the purchase price with respect to the shares; (2) present certificates for the shares for cancellation and transfer on the Company’s books; and (3) receive all benefits and otherwise exercise all rights of beneficial ownership of the shares, subject to the next paragraph, all in accordance with the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer.

The undersigned covenants, represents and warrants to the Company that: (1) the undersigned has full power and authority to tender, sell, assign and transfer the shares tendered hereby and when and to the extent accepted for payment, the Company will acquire good, marketable and unencumbered title to the tendered shares, free and clear of all security interests, liens, restrictions, charges, encumbrances, conditional sales agreements or other obligations relating to the sale or transfer of the shares, and not subject to any adverse claims; (2) the undersigned understands that tenders of shares pursuant to any one of the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions will constitute the undersigned’s acceptance of the terms and conditions of the tender offer, including the undersigned’s representation and warranty that (i) the undersigned has a “net long position,” within the meaning of Rule 14e-4 promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, in the shares or Equivalent Securities (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) at least equal to the shares being tendered, and (ii) the tender of shares complies with Rule 14e-4; (3) the undersigned will, upon request, execute and deliver any additional documents deemed by the Depositary or the Company to be necessary or desirable to complete the sale, assignment and transfer to the Company of the shares tendered; and (4) the undersigned has read, understands and agrees to all of the terms of the tender offer.

The undersigned understands that the Company’s acceptance of shares tendered pursuant to any one of the procedures described in Section 3 of the Offer to Purchase and in the instructions will constitute a binding agreement between the undersigned and the Company upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the tender offer. The undersigned acknowledges that under no circumstances will the Company pay interest on the purchase price, including without limitation, by reason of any delay in making payment.

All authority conferred or agreed to be conferred by this Letter of Transmittal will survive the death of incapacity of the undersigned, and any obligation of the undersigned will be binding on the heirs, personal representatives, executors, administrators, successors, assigns, trustees in bankruptcy and legal representatives of the undersigned. Except as stated in the Offer to Purchase, this tender is irrevocable.

The undersigned acknowledges that the undersigned has not relied on the Company in order to determine the tax consequences, in the undersigned’s particular circumstances, of tendering shares hereunder, including the application of federal, state, local and foreign tax laws, and has consulted with the undersigned’s own tax advisor if and as deemed by the undersigned to be appropriate to do so.
 
Please complete Box 8 if you would like checks made payable to a payee other than the record holder of shares tendered, and Box 9 if you would like checks or unaccepted shares mailed to an address other then the record address of the tendering shareholder. In all events, shares not accepted for payment will be issued in the name of the registered holder tendering such shares. Your ability to instruct us to make checks payable to a payee other than the registered holder is subject to your compliance with the requirements of this Letter of Transmittal, as determined by the Company.

To Our Clients:
 
 
Enclosed for your consideration are the Offer to Purchase, dated June 29, 2007, and the related Letter of Transmittal (which, as may be amended or supplemented from time to time, together constitute the “Offer”) in connection with the Offer by Hudson Technologies, Inc., a New York corporation ( “Hudson”), to purchase for cash up to 1,167,400 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value (such shares, together with all other outstanding shares of common stock of Hudson, are herein referred to as the “Shares”), at a price of $1.12 per Share, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions of the Offer.
 
We are the holder of record of Shares held for your benefit and account. As such, we are the only ones who can tender your Shares pursuant to your instructions. The Letter of Transmittal is furnished to you for your information only and cannot be used by you to tender Shares held by us for your account.
 
Hudson will pay $1.12 per share for the Shares properly tendered but not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer and accepted for purchase taking into account the number of Shares so tendered. Hudson will purchase all Shares validly tendered and not withdrawn upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the related Letter of Transmittal, including the provisions relating to “odd lot” tenders and conditional tenders described in the Offer to Purchase.
 
Shares tendered and not purchased because of proration or conditional tenders will be returned, at Hudson’s expense, to the stockholders who tendered such Shares promptly after the Expiration Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase). Hudson also expressly reserves the right, in its sole discretion, to purchase additional Shares subject to applicable legal requirements. See Section 1 of the Offer to Purchase.
 
As described in the Offer to Purchase, if fewer than all Shares properly tendered but not withdrawn pursuant to the Offer are to be purchased by Hudson, Hudson will purchase tendered Shares in the following order of priority:
 
 
 
First, Hudson will purchase all shares tendered by any stockholders who own beneficially or of record, an aggregate of 100 shares or less (“Odd Lots”) who :
 
 
 
tenders all shares owned beneficially and of record by the Odd Lot Holder (tenders of less than all of the shares owned by an Odd Lot Holder will not qualify for this priority); and
 
 
 
completes the section entitled “Odd Lots” in the Letter of Transmittal and, if applicable, in the Notice of Guaranteed Delivery.
 
 
 
Second, subject to the conditional tender provisions described in Section 6 of the Offer to Purchase, Hudson will purchase up to 25% of the shares owned by all other shareholders from such other shareholders who properly tender up to 25% of all of their shares, on a pro rata basis with appropriate adjustments to avoid purchases of fractional shares, as described below.
 
As a result of the foregoing priorities applicable to the purchase of shares tendered, it is possible that all of the shares that a shareholder tenders in the Tender Offer may not be purchased. In addition, if a tender is conditioned upon the purchase of a specified number of shares, it is possible that none of those shares will be purchased
 

We request instructions as to whether you wish us to tender any or all of the Shares held by us for your account upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase and the Letter of Transmittal.

5. If you hold beneficially or of record an aggregate of 100 Shares or less, and you instruct us to tender on your behalf all such Shares before the Expiration Date (as defined in the Offer to Purchase) and check the box captioned “Odd Lots” on the attached Instruction Form, Hudson will accept all such Shares for purchase before proration, if any, of the purchase of other Shares properly tendered at or below the purchase price and not properly withdrawn pursuant to the Offer.
 
6. If you wish to condition your tender upon the purchase of a specified minimum number of the Shares, not to exceed 25% of all Shares owned by you, which you tender, you may elect to do so and thereby avoid possible proration of your tender.. To elect such a condition complete the section captioned “Conditional Tender” in the attached Instruction Form.
 
If you wish to have us tender any or all of your Shares, please so instruct us by completing, executing, detaching and returning to us the Instruction Form on the detachable part hereof. An envelope to return your instructions to us is enclosed. If you authorize tender of your Shares, all such Shares will be tendered unless otherwise specified on the Instruction Form.
 
YOUR PROMPT ACTION IS REQUESTED. YOUR INSTRUCTION FORM SHOULD BE FORWARDED TO US IN AMPLE TIME TO PERMIT US TO SUBMIT THE TENDER ON YOUR BEHALF BEFORE THE EXPIRATION OF THE OFFER.
 
The Offer is not being made to, nor will tenders be accepted from or on behalf of, holders of Shares in any jurisdiction in which the making of the Offer or acceptance thereof would violate the laws of such jurisdiction.

Re:    Hudson Technologies, Inc. Tender Offer
 
Dear Hudson Technologies, Inc. 401(K) Savings Plan Participant
 
 
NOTICE IS HEREBY GIVEN that, as of 5:00 PM, Eastern Time, on August 8, 2007, withdrawals, loans and distributions involving the Company common stock attributable to your Plan account will be unavailable for a period of time, at least until August 27, 2007 due to the tender offer described in this notice. Exchanges out of the Company’s common stock attributable to your Plan account will be unavailable and all outstanding orders to sell the Company’s common stock (e.g. good till cancelled limit) will be cancelled as of 5:00 PM, Eastern Time on August 8, 2007. The impact of this blackout is further described under the heading, “EFFECT OF THE OFFER ON YOUR ACCOUNT”.
 
The enclosed tender offer materials and Direction Form require your immediate attention. Plan records reflect that, as a participant in the Hudson Technologies, Inc., 401(K) Savings Plan (the “Plan”), all or a portion of your individual account is invested in Hudson Technologies, Inc. (the “Company”) common stock. The tender offer materials describe an offer by the Company to purchase up to 1,167,400 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value (the “Shares”), at a price of $1.12 per share, net to seller in cash, without interest (the “Offer”). As described below you have the right to instruct M&T Bank (“M&T”), as trustee of the Plan, concerning whether to tender Shares attributable to your individual account under the Plan. You will need to complete the enclosed Direction Form and return it to M&T in the enclosed return envelope so that it is RECEIVED by 5:00 PM., Eastern Time, on August 10, 2007, unless the offer is extended, in which case the deadline for receipt of instructions will be three (3) business days prior to the expiration date of the Offer, if feasible.
 
The remainder of this letter summarizes the transaction, your rights under the Plan and the procedure for completing and submitting the Direction Form. You should also review the more detailed explanation provided in the Offer to Purchase, dated June 29, 2007 (the “Offer to Purchase”), enclosed with this letter.
 
BACKGROUND
 
The Company has made an Offer to its shareholders to tender up to 1,167,400 shares of its common stock, $0.01 par value, for purchase by the Company at a price of $1.12 per share, net to the seller in cash, without interest, upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Offer to Purchase.
 
The enclosed Offer to Purchase sets forth the objectives, terms and conditions of the offer and is being provided to all of the Company’s shareholders. To understand the Offer fully and for a more complete description of the terms and conditions of the Offer, you should carefully read the entire Offer to Purchase.
 
The Offer extends to the Shares by the Plan. As of June 27, 2007,, the Plan had approximately 59,529 Shares allocated to participant accounts. Only M&T, as trustee, can tender these Shares in the Offer. Nonetheless, as a participant under the Plan, you have the right to direct M&T whether or not to tender some or all of the Shares attributable to your individual account in the Plan. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, M&T will tender Shares attributable to participant accounts in accordance with participant instructions and M&T will not tender shares attributable to participant accounts for which it does not receive timely instructions. If you do not complete the enclosed Direction Form and return it to M&T on a timely basis, you will be deemed to have elected not to participate in the Offer and no Shares attributable to your account will be tendered.
 
 
 

 
Exhibit (a)(1)(E)
 
LIMITATIONS ON FOLLOWING DIRECTION
 
The enclosed Direction Form allows you to specify up to 25 percent (25%) of the Shares attributable to your account to be tendered pursuant to the Offer to Purchase. As detailed below, when M&T tenders Shares on behalf of the Plan, it may be required to tender Shares on terms different than those set forth on your Direction Form.
 
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (“ERISA”), and the trust agreement between the Company and M&T prohibit the sale of Shares to the Company for less than “adequate consideration” which is defined by ERISA for a publicly traded security as the price of the security prevailing on a national securities exchange. M&T will determine “adequate consideration”, based on the prevailing market price of the Shares on NASDAQ on or about the date the Shares are tendered to the Company by M&T (the “prevailing market price”). M&T will look to the NASDAQ Official Close Price as listed on Nasdaq.com. Accordingly, depending on the prevailing market price of the Shares on such date, M&T may be unable to follow participant directions to tender Shares to the Company. M&T will tender or not tender Shares as follows:
 
 
·
If the prevailing market price is greater than the tender price offered by the Company ($1.12 per Share) notwithstanding your direction to tender Shares in the Offer, the Shares will not be tendered;
 
 
·
If the prevailing market price is equal to or lower than the tender price offered, notwithstanding the lower closing market price, M&T will follow your direction as to the percentage, not to exceed 25 percent of Shares owned of Shares that you wish to tender.
 
Unless otherwise required by applicable law, M&T will not tender Shares for which it has received no direction, or for which it has received a direction not to tender. M&T makes no recommendation as to whether to direct the tender of Shares or whether to refrain from directing the tender of Shares. EACH PARTICIPANT OR BENEFICIARY MUST MAKE HIS OR HER OWN DECISIONS.
 
CONFIDENTIALITY
 
To assure the confidentiality of your decision, M&T and their affiliates or agents will tabulate the Direction Forms. Neither M&T nor their affiliates or agents will make your individual direction available to Hudson.
 
PROCEDURE FOR DIRECTING TRUSTEE
 
Enclosed is a Direction Form that should be completed and returned to M&T. Please note that the Direction Form indicates the number of Shares attributable to your individual account as of June 28, 2007. However, for purposes of the final tabulation, M&T will apply your instructions to the number of Shares attributable to your account as of August 10, 2007, or as of a later date if the Offer is extended.
 
If you do not properly complete the Direction Form or do not return it by the deadline specified, such Shares will be considered NOT TENDERED.
 
To properly complete your Direction form, you must do the following:
 
 
(1)
On the face of the Direction Form, check Box 1 or 2. CHECK ONLY ONE BOX:
 
 
·
CHECK BOX 1 if you do not want any of the Shares attributable to your individual account tendered for sale in accordance with the terms of the Offer and simply want the Plan to continue holding such Shares.
 
 
·
CHECK BOX 2 in all other cases and complete the table immediately below Box 2. Specify the percentage (in whole numbers) of Shares attributable to your individual account that you want to tender, up to a maximum of 25% of the shares attributable to your account. If you specify a percentage in excess of 25%, we will not tender any of the Shares attributable to your account.
 
 
(2)
Date and sign the Direction Form in the space provided.
 
 
(3)
Return the Direction Form in the enclosed return envelope so that it is received by M&T at the address on the return envelope (Insert address) not later than 5:00 PM, Eastern Time, on August 10, 2007, unless the Offer is extended, in which case the participant deadline shall be three (3) business days prior to the expiration date of the Offer, if feasible. If you wish to return the form by overnight courier, please send it to M&T at (Insert delivery address). Directions via facsimile or e-mail will not be accepted.
 
 
2

 
Exhibit (a)(1)(E)
 
Your direction will be deemed irrevocable unless withdrawn by 5:00 PM on August 14, 2007, unless the Offer is extended. In order to make and effective withdrawal, you must submit a new Direction Form that may be obtained by calling M&T at 1-800-836-1431. Upon receipt of a new, completed and signed Direction Form, your previous direction will be deemed canceled. You may direct the re-tendering of any Shares attributable to your individual account by obtaining an additional Direction Form from M&T and repeating the previous instructions for directing tender as set forth in this letter.
 
After the deadline above for returning the Direction Form to M&T and its affiliates or agents will complete the tabulation of all directions. M&T will tender the appropriate number of Shares on behalf of the Plan.
 
The Company will then buy all Shares, up to 1,167,400, that were properly tendered through the Offer. If there is an excess of Shares tendered over the exact number desired by the Company, Shares tendered pursuant to the Offer may be subject to proration, as described in the Offer to Purchase. For any Shares in the Plan that are tendered and purchased by the Company, the Company will pay cash to the Plan. INDIVIDUAL PARTICIPANTS IN THE PLAN WILL NOT, HOWEVER, RECEIVE ANY CASH TENDER PROCEEDS DIRECTLY. ALL SUCH PROCEEDS WILL REMAIN IN THE PLAN AND MAY BE WITHDRAWN ONLY IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THE PLAN. Any Shares attributable to your account that are not purchased in the Offer will remain allocated to your individual account under the Plan.
 
The preferential treatment of holders of 100 Shares or less, will not apply to participants in the Plan, regardless of the number of Shares held within their individual accounts. Likewise, the conditional tender of Shares, as described in the Offer to Purchase, will not apply to the participants in the Plan.
 
EFFECT OF THE OFFER ON YOUR ACCOUNT
 
As of 5:00 PM, Eastern Time, on August 8, 2007, withdrawals, loans and distributions involving the Company common stock attributable to your Plan account will be unavailable for a period of time. Exchanges out of the Company’s common stock attributable to your Plan account will be unavailable and all outstanding orders to sell the Company’s common stock (e.g. good till cancelled limit) will be cancelled as of 5:00 PM, Eastern Time on August 8, 2007. Balances in the Company’s common stock will be utilized to calculate amounts eligible for loans and withdrawals throughout this restriction period. These restrictions will apply to ALL participants regardless if you elect to tender or not. While participants will not recognize any immediate tax gain or loss as a result of the tender offer, the tax treatment of future withdrawals or distributions from the Plan may be adversely impacted by a tender and sale of shares within the Plan. Specifically, under current federal income tax rules, if you receive from the Plan a lump sum distribution that includes the Company shares that have increased in value while they were held by the Plan, under certain circumstances, you may have the option of deferring paying taxes on this increase in value until you sell the shares. This is referred to as net unrealized appreciation. When the shares are sold, any gain up to the amount of the untaxed net unrealized appreciation is taxed as long-term capital gain. If shares credited to your individual Plan account are purchased by the Company in the tender offer, you will not longer be able to take advantage of this tax benefit on these shares. You should consult with your tax advisor concerning the tax aspects of this offer.
 
INVESTMENT OF PROCEEDS
 
M&T will invest proceeds received with respect to the Shares attributable to your account in the MTB Money Market fund as soon as administratively possible after receipt of proceeds. For all Shares tendered on your behalf that are accepted for purchase by the Company, M&T will process an exchange from the Tender Holding Fund, at a price equal to the purchase price in the Offer, into the MTB Money Market fund. For all Shares tendered on your behalf that are NOT accepted for purchase by the Company, such Shares will be transferred back into your common stock account. AT that time, for all of the Shares attributable to your account, you will have access to all transactions normally available to the Company common stock, subject to Plan rules.
 
M&T anticipates that the processing of participant accounts will be completed five to seven business days after receipt of these proceeds. You may call EBS Benefit Solutions toll free at 1-888-887-4015, or access your account via the Participant Website @ www.ebs-benefits.com after the reinvestment is completed to learn the effect of the tender on your account or to have the proceeds from the sale of shares which were invested in the MTB Money Market fund invested in other investment options offered under the Plan.

Exhibit (a)(1)(E)
 
SHARES OUTSIDE THE PLAN
 
If you hold Shares outside the Plan, you will receive under separate cover, Offer materials to be used to tender those Shares. Those Offer materials may not be used to direct M&T to tender or not tender the Shares attributable to your individual account under the Plan. Likewise, the tender of Shares attributable to your individual account under the Plan will not be effective with respect to Shares you hold outside of the Plan. The direction to tender or not tender Shares attributable to your individual account under the Plan may only be made in accordance with the procedures in this letter. Similarly, the enclosed Direction Form may not be used to tender Shares held outside of the Plan.

Hudson Management Team Invests $6 million to Purchase 9.2 Million of Hudson Common Shares from Fleming Funds


Pearl River, New York - June 29, 2007 - Hudson Technologies, Inc. (Nasdaq: HDSN) today announced that the Fleming Funds have sold 14.9 million shares of Hudson’s common stock in a series of transactions involving the Company and certain members of the Company’s management. Prior to these transactions, the Fleming Funds were the Company’s largest shareholders and owned in the aggregate approximately 19.1 million shares, or 74%, of the Company’s outstanding common stock. Specifically, the Company purchased and retired 5.7 million shares of its common stock from the Fleming Funds at a purchase price of $0.65 per share, for total consideration of $3.7 million. Additionally, certain executive officers and one key employee of the Company, in separate private transactions, purchased 9.2 million shares of the Company’s common stock from Fleming Funds at a purchase price of $0.65 per share, for a total consideration of $6 million. The shares purchased by management are unregistered shares and management did not receive registration rights in connection with their purchase of these shares. Current regulations, among other things, restrict the public sale of unregistered shares for a minimum of one year.

Hudson also announced today that it has authorized the expenditure of $1.3 million to complete a Tender Offer to all of its common shareholders to purchase and retire up to approximately 1.2 million additional shares of its common stock at a purchase price of $1.12 per share. Hudson’s officers and directors, and the Fleming Funds, have advised that they do not intend to tender any of their shares in the Tender Offer.

To the extent that Hudson’s shareholders do not tender their shares in the Tender Offer, any amounts remaining from the $1.3 million authorized for the Tender Offer will be used to purchase and retire additional shares from the Fleming Funds at the Tender Offer price of $1.12 per share.

As a consequence of both the 5.7 million shares the Company has purchased from the Fleming Funds and the 1.2 million additional shares to be purchased by the Company, the Company will retire an aggregate of approximately 6.9 million shares of Hudson’s common stock and increase its long-term debt by $5 million. The retirement of these shares represents more than a 26% reduction in the number of outstanding shares of the Company.

 
 

 
Exhibit (a)(1)(H)

 
As investors in the Company for over eight years, the Fleming Funds, which are finite-life partnerships, have reached a point in the partnerships’ term that makes it necessary to seek liquidity of the partnerships’ remaining investments. For this reason the Fleming Funds negotiated to sell a substantial portion of their shares in a series of transactions with the Company and with certain members of management designed to address the Fleming Funds’ goal of achieving liquidity on a majority of their investments while endeavoring to benefit all other Company shareholders as well.

Kevin J. Zugibe, chairman and chief executive officer, commented, “Hudson’s board of directors believes that the Tender Offer and the Company’s purchase of the Fleming Funds shares are in the best interests of all shareholders and are a prudent use of Hudson’s resources. The purchase by Hudson of its common stock is intended to create shareholder value through the retirement of more than 26% of the Company’s outstanding shares. These transactions, together with the significant personal investment made by our management to purchase shares from the Fleming Funds, reflect our confidence in the future of the Company.”

Neither management nor any member of our board of directors, nor the Company’s Information Agent for the Tender Offer makes any recommendation to any shareholder as to whether to tender or refrain from tendering any shares, and no person has been authorized to make any recommendation. Shareholders must make their own decision whether to tender any of their shares and, if so, how many shares to tender. The Tender Offer will expire at 5:00 PM on August 15, 2007, unless extended by Hudson. Tenders must be made on or prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer and may be withdrawn at any time on or prior to the expiration of the Tender Offer. The Tender Offer is subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Company’s Offer to Purchase and related materials, which will be filed with the SEC today.

Extension of Credit Facility
On June 26 2007, the Company, through its subsidiary Hudson Technologies Company, entered into an Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Keltic Financial Partners, LP, by which the term of the existing credit facility was extended for three years through June 2010, the total borrowing limit was increased from $6 million to $10 million (the “Credit Facility”) and the interest rate under the Credit Facility was reduced to the Prime Rate plus 0.375% (from the Prime Rate plus 0.75 %).

Non-Recurring, Non-Cash Events
As a result of the transactions with the Company and with Hudson’s management team, the Fleming Funds have sold a total of 14.9 million shares, representing approximately 58% of the then total issued and outstanding shares of the Company. Pursuant to IRS Code Section 382, the sale of the shares by the Fleming Funds constitutes a “change in control”, which would potentially limit Hudson’s ability to fully utilize its existing Net Operating Loss Carry Forwards (“NOLs”). Since a change in control has occurred, it was necessary for the Company to reassess the utilization of its NOLs and its corresponding deferred tax asset. As a result of its reassessment, the Company recognized a non-cash increase in the deferred tax asset and an income tax gain of approximately $1.3 million. Moreover, the Company believes that most of its NOLs will be available to it; however, the Company’s ability to utilize its NOLs is subject to future earnings.

 
 

 
Exhibit (a)(1)(H)



Pursuant to generally accepted accounting principles, the sale by the Fleming Funds to the management team of 9.2 million shares at a purchase price of $0.65 per share required the Company to incur, in the quarter ended June 30, 2007, a one-time, non-cash compensation expense and a corresponding increase to additional paid-in capital of approximately $4.3 million. The Company’s net worth will be unaffected by this non-recurring, non-cash charge.

Reserves may be established by Lender from time to time in such manner (including reduction of the advance rates set forth in Subsection 2.1(b) above) and for such reasons as Lender may determine from time to time in Lender’s sole and absolute discretion. Payments, deposits, guaranties or indemnifications made by Lender under any reimbursement agreement, guaranty or similar instrument made in respect of any such instrument may be treated by Lender as Advances to Borrower under this Agreement.
 




 
(b) Lender will implement a reserve (the “Closing Reserve”) on the date hereof in the amount of $1,307,550 (the “Closing Reserve Amount”) in order to ensure that Borrower has sufficient availability to make payment to those shareholders who tender shares in Borrower’s tender offer and/or, to the extent the shareholders do not tender their shares in such tender offer, to make payment to Fleming US Discovery Fund III, L.P. and Fleming US Discovery Offshore Fund III, L.P. (collectively, “Fleming”), as set forth in that certain Stock Purchase Agreement dated the date hereof between Fleming and Borrower.

Lender shall not be responsible for any failure of any amount so transferred to be credited to any such account, unless such failure is due to Lender’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
 
2.5. Evidence of Borrower’s Obligations.

Lender may make an Advance to reimburse itself for any payments on the Obligations (including fees and expenses payable by Borrower), which are not paid when due, without notice or demand to Borrower. Any delay or failure by Lender in submitting any invoice for such interest or fee or in the making of an Advance against the Revolving Loan shall not discharge or relieve Borrower of its obligation to make such interest or fee payment.

Exhibit (b)(2)


 
Mortgagee may (but is not obligated to) make an advance or advances to pay interest, penalties, fees, charges or other obligations which Mortgagor may owe Mortgagee, and all such advances shall be secured by this Mortgage with lien priority from the time this Mortgage was left for record. If Mortgagee makes such an advance after having notified Mortgagor of a default under this Mortgage or the Obligations, any such advances shall be treated as expenses incurred by Mortgagee by reason of Mortgagor’s default under this Mortgage.
 
AND, at all times until the Obligations are paid in full with interest, and faithfully and strictly performed, Mortgagor does hereby covenant, promise and agree with Mortgagee as follows:
 
 
ARTICLE I
 
Covenants As To Taxes and Assessments
 
1.1 Mortgagor will pay and discharge (i) all of the general and special taxes, levies and assessments heretofore or hereafter charged, assessed or levied against the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof by any lawful authority, or which otherwise may become a lien thereon (all of which are herein collectively called the “Taxes”); and (ii) all water and sewer rents and all charges for utilities, whether public or private, which may be assessed or become liens on the Mortgaged Property (collectively, the “Rents”), not less than ten (10) days before the date on which any interest or penalties shall commence to accrue thereon, and produce to Mortgagee evidence of each such payment not less than ten (10) days after such payment is made. Upon default of any of the above-described payments, Mortgagee may, but shall not be obligated to, pay the same, and such payment by Mortgagee shall be repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee on demand, shall be secured hereby, and shall bear interest at the lesser of the following rates: (a) the Loan Interest Rate (as defined in the Loan Agreement) plus three and one-half percent (3.50%) or (b) the maximum amount permitted by applicable law to be contracted for, charged or received (herein the “Default Interest Rate”) from the date Mortgagee makes such payment until such sums are repaid in full. Mortgagor shall promptly cause to be paid and discharged, any lien or charge whatsoever which by any present or future law may be or become superior to, or on parity with, either in lien or in right of distribution out of the proceeds of any judicial sale of the Mortgaged Property, the liens created hereby. Mortgagor will cause to be paid, when due, all charges for utilities whether public or private.
 
1.2 Upon the request of Mortgagee, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Senior Mortgage, Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee, on the first day of each month, a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the Taxes, Rents, payments in lieu thereof, all applicable insurance payments and premiums, and any other lien, claim, or encumbrance which may at any time be or become a lien on the Mortgaged Property prior to, or on parity with, the lien of this Mortgage so as to enable Mortgagee to pay the same at least thirty (30) days before they become due. No amounts so paid shall be deemed to be trust funds and may be commingled with general funds of Mortgagee and no interest shall be payable thereon. If at any time the whole amount of the then remaining indebtedness under the Obligations shall become due and payable, Mortgagee shall have the right, at its election, to apply any amounts so held against all or any of the Obligations and any interest thereon in payment of the premiums or payments for which the amounts were deposited. Mortgagor will furnish to Mortgagee bills for Taxes and Rents in sufficient time to enable Mortgagee to pay such Taxes, Rents and levies, charges, and fees related thereto, before any interest or penalty accrues thereon.

Exhibit (b)(2)


 
1.3 Mortgagor covenants and agrees to pay to Mortgagee the principal and interest hereby secured without deduction or credit for any amount for Taxes assessed or to be assessed against the Mortgaged Property.
 
ARTICLE II
 
General Representations and Covenants of Mortgagor
 
2.1 Mortgagor will observe and perform all of the terms, covenants and conditions on the part of Mortgagor to be observed and performed under this Mortgage and shall pay and faithfully and strictly perform all of the Obligations.
 
2.2 Mortgagor represents, warrants and covenants that it has good and marketable fee simple title to the Mortgaged Property, subject to no liens, claims, security interests, pledges, hypothecations or other encumbrances or charges senior to, or on parity with, in priority, the lien created hereby, other than the Permitted Encumbrances. Mortgagor represents and warrants that it has full power and lawful authority to execute and deliver this Mortgage and to mortgage to Mortgagee all of the property and rights purported to be mortgaged by it hereunder. Mortgagor will forever warrant and defend the title to the Mortgaged Property unto Mortgagee against the claims and demands of all persons whomsoever.
 
2.3 Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, cause or permit any building or improvement comprising part of the Mortgaged Property to be removed, demolished, or structurally altered in whole or in part, or any material fixture therein to be removed or destroyed. Mortgagor will not abandon the Mortgaged Property or cause or permit any waste thereto and will at all times maintain the Mortgaged Property in substantially its current condition, normal wear and tear excepted.
 
2.4 Throughout the term of this Mortgage, Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense, will maintain the Mortgaged Property and the sidewalks and curbs, if any, adjoining the Mortgaged Property, in good order and condition, and make all necessary repairs thereto, interior and exterior (including parking areas), structural and non-structural, ordinary and extraordinary, and unforeseen and foreseen. All repairs made by Mortgagor shall be at least equal in quality and class to the original work. The necessity for and adequacy of repairs and construction to and of the buildings and improvements pursuant to this Mortgage shall be measured by the standard which is appropriate for structures of similar construction and class, provided that Mortgagor shall in any event make all repairs necessary to avoid any structural damage or injury to the buildings and improvements to keep the buildings and improvements in a proper condition.
 
2.5 Mortgagor will permit Mortgagee and Mortgagee’s representatives to enter the Mortgaged Property at any time or from time to time to inspect the same. In case of any Event of Default (as hereinafter defined) Mortgagee may, at its option, enter the Mortgaged Property to protect, restore or repair any part thereof, but Mortgagee shall be under no obligation to do so. Mortgagor will repay to Mortgagee on demand any sums paid by Mortgagee to protect, restore or repair any part of the Mortgaged Property, with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, and until so paid, the same shall be secured by this Mortgage and by all liens granted under any of the other Documents.

Exhibit (b)(2)


 
2.6 Throughout the term of this Mortgage, Mortgagor, at its sole cost and expense, shall promptly comply with all present and future laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all federal, state and municipal governments, courts, departments, commissions, boards and officers, any national or local Board of Fire Underwriters, or any other body exercising functions similar to those of any of the foregoing, which may be applicable to the Mortgaged Property, the maintenance and use thereof and the sidewalks and curbs adjoining the Mortgaged Property whether or not such law, ordinance, order, rule, regulation or requirement shall necessitate structural changes or improvements, or the removal of any encroachments or projections, ornamental, structural or otherwise, onto or over property contiguous or adjacent thereto, any such structural changes or improvements or removal of encroachments to be performed with the consent of Mortgagee, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld. Mortgagor will comply with all orders and notices of violation thereof issued by any governmental authority. Mortgagor will pay all license fees and similar municipal charges for the use of the Mortgaged Property and the other areas now or hereafter comprising part thereof or used in connection therewith and will not, unless so required by any governmental agency having jurisdiction, discontinue use of the Mortgaged Property without prior written consent of Mortgagee. If Mortgagor shall fail to perform any covenant herein, Mortgagee may (but shall be under no obligation to) perform such covenant for the account of Mortgagor and any sums paid by Mortgagee in such event shall be repaid by Mortgagor to Mortgagee with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate and, until so paid, the same shall be secured by this Mortgage.
 
2.7 Without the prior written consent of Mortgagee or except as permitted in Section 9.3 of the Loan Agreement, Mortgagor will abstain from and will not cause or permit any sale, exchange, assignment, transfer or conveyance (whether by deed, easement, lease, or other instrument) or the mortgaging, pledging, hypothecating or other encumbering, directly or indirectly, other than the lien of the Senior Mortgage (individually or collectively, a “Transfer”) of the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, or any beneficial or legal interest therein, voluntarily or by operation of law. For the purposes of this paragraph, the liquidation and/or dissolution of Mortgagor, the merger or acquisition of Mortgagor with or by another entity, or any reorganization, recapitalization or restructuring of Mortgagor, shall constitute a Transfer of the Mortgaged Property. If any Transfer occurs without the prior written consent of Mortgagee or except as permitted in Section 9.3 of the Loan Agreement, then the entire principal indebtedness of Mortgagor secured hereby shall, at the option of Mortgagee, immediately become due and payable, without demand, together with all other sums required to be paid by Mortgagor hereunder. Mortgagor shall immediately give written notice to Mortgagee in the manner provided herein for notices of any Transfer.
 
2.8 Mortgagor shall promptly pay upon demand and presentation of invoices or bills, with interest thereon at the Default Interest Rate, all expenses and costs incurred by Mortgagee, including reasonable attorneys’ fees in connection with any action, proceeding, litigation or claim instituted or asserted by or against Mortgagee or in which Mortgagee becomes engaged, wherein it becomes necessary in the reasonable opinion of Mortgagee to defend or uphold the lien of this Mortgage, or the validity or effectiveness of any assignment of any claim, award, payment, property damage, insurance policy or any other right or property conveyed, encumbered or assigned by Mortgagor to Mortgagee hereunder, or the priority of any of the same, and all such expenses and costs, and interest thereon, may be added to and become part of the principal indebtedness of Mortgagor hereunder, bear interest at the Default Interest Rate and be secured by this Mortgage.
 
2.9 To further secure payment of the Obligations, subject to the terms and conditions of the Senior Mortgage, Mortgagor hereby pledges, assigns and grants to Mortgagee a continuing security interest in and lien on all of the Personal Property and all proceeds (including insurance proceeds and proceeds of proceeds) of all of the foregoing. The parties hereto agree that the security interest created hereunder is valid under the applicable UCC and is a presently existing security interest and attaches to the Personal Property as of the date hereof.

Exhibit (b)(2)


 
2.10 Mortgagor will not, without the prior written consent of Mortgagee, create or suffer to be created any security interest under the applicable UCC, or other encumbrance in favor of any party other than Mortgagee, or create or suffer any reservation of title by any such other party, with respect to any of the Building Personal Property nor shall any of the Building Personal Property be the subject matter of any lease or other transaction whereby the ownership or any beneficial interest in any of such Building Personal Property is held by any person or entity other than Mortgagor (or Mortgagee as provided herein). All such Building Personal Property shall be purchased for cash or in such manner that no lien shall be created thereon except the lien of this Mortgage, unless Mortgagee shall agree in writing to the contrary before a contract to purchase any such Building Personal Property is executed. Mortgagor will deliver to Mortgagee on demand, any contracts, bills of sale, statements, receipted vouchers or agreements, under which Mortgagor claims title to any Building Personal Property incorporated in the improvements or subject to the lien of this Mortgage.
 
2.11 Mortgagor shall, at its expense, promptly upon request of Mortgagee (i) do all acts and things, including but not limited to the execution of any further assurances, deemed necessary by Mortgagee, to establish, confirm, maintain and continue the lien created and intended to be created hereby, all assignments made or intended to be made pursuant hereto, and all other rights and benefits conferred or intended to be conferred on Mortgagee hereby, and Mortgagor shall pay all costs incurred by Mortgagee in connection therewith, including all filing and recording costs, cost of searches, and reasonable counsel fees incurred by Mortgagee; and (ii) furnish Mortgagee with a written certification signed by Mortgagor, as to all then existing leases for space covering any part of the Mortgaged Property, the names of the tenants, the rents payable thereunder and the dates to which such rents are paid, together with executed copies of all such leases. The foregoing shall not operate as a consent to leases or as a waiver of other provisions of this Mortgage or any related agreement of Mortgagor.
 
2.12 Mortgagor will promptly perform and observe, or cause to be performed or observed, all of the terms, covenants and conditions of all instruments of record affecting the Mortgaged Property, noncompliance with which may affect the security of this Mortgage or which may impose any duty or obligation upon Mortgagor or any lessee or other occupant of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, noncompliance with which may affect the security of this Mortgage, and Mortgagor shall do or cause to be done all things necessary to preserve intact and unimpaired any and all easements, appurtenances and other interests and rights in favor of or constituting any portion of the Mortgaged Property.
 
2.13 (a) The assignment of rents, issues and profits contained in the granting clauses of this Mortgage shall be fully operative without any further action on the part of either party, it being intended that such grant shall constitute an absolute and present assignment of rents. Specifically, Mortgagee shall be entitled, at its option, upon the occurrence of an Event of Default hereunder, to all rents, income and other benefits from the Mortgaged Property, whether or not Mortgagee takes possession of such Mortgaged Property. Such assignment and grant shall continue in full force and effect until the Obligations are paid and satisfied in full and all obligations of Mortgagee under the Note have been terminated, the execution of this Mortgage constituting and evidencing the irrevocable consent of Mortgagor to the entry upon and taking possession of the Mortgaged Property by Mortgagee pursuant to such grant, whether or not foreclosure proceedings have been instituted. Mortgagor does hereby irrevocably appoint Mortgagee and/or its attorney or agent to do the following after the occurrence of an Event of Default: collect said rents, with or without suit, and apply the same, less all expenses of collection, to the said indebtedness, to management, maintenance and repair of the Real Estate and the contents thereof, and to protecting the security of Mortgagee in such manner as Mortgagee may elect; provided, however, that until there occurs an Event of Default under the terms of this Mortgage, Mortgagor may continue to collect and enjoy the current rents without accountability to Mortgagee. During any period that Mortgagee collects rents pursuant to this paragraph, Mortgagee shall be entitled to retain ten percent (10%) of such rents in payment for the services of Mortgagee in relation to the Mortgaged Property, which sum Mortgagor agrees is a fair and reasonable charge. Except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by Mortgagee, the taking of possession and collection of rents by Mortgagee as aforesaid shall not be construed to be an affirmation of or acceptance of any attornment with respect to any lease of the Real Estate or any part thereof. Except to the extent otherwise agreed in writing by Mortgagee, Mortgagee or any other purchaser at any foreclosure sale may (if otherwise entitled to do so) exercise the right to terminate any such lease as though such taking of possession and collection of rents had not occurred. Mortgagee shall be liable to account only for such rents, issues, and profits as are actually received by Mortgagee. The foregoing shall not operate as a consent to leases or as a waiver of other provisions of this Mortgage or any related agreement of Mortgagor.

Exhibit (b)(2)


 
(b) In connection with the foregoing, after the occurrence of an Event of Default: (1) Mortgagor hereby irrevocably authorizes Mortgagee to endorse Mortgagor’s name on checks, bank drafts, and other instruments received in payment of the rents; and (2) Mortgagee may take possession of and open any mail addressed to Mortgagor received at the Real Estate, in order to effect collection of rents and to remove, collect and apply all payments therein contained, but Mortgagee agrees to make available to Mortgagor any mail which is not related to tenant leases. This assignment of rents and these powers of attorney are coupled with an interest; shall be in addition to all other remedies herein and by law provided for upon an Event of Default; and may be put into effect independently of or concurrently with any or all of said remedies. No liability shall attach to Mortgagee for failure, refusal or inability to collect any rents herein assigned, for the manner of collection thereof or for the failure on the part of Mortgagee to perform any of Mortgagor’s obligations as landlord under any existing or future lease. This assignment, lien and power of attorney shall apply to all rents heretofore or hereafter accruing from present and future leases and renewals thereof of all or any part of the Real Estate or the buildings and improvements thereon.
 
2.14 Except as set forth in the Senior Mortgage, Mortgagor will not assign the rents of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof other than to Mortgagee, nor consent (other than in the ordinary course of business or in the event the lease is terminated pursuant to the terms thereof) to the cancellation, modification or surrender of any lease now or hereafter covering the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof; nor accept any prepayment of rents under any such lease more than one month in advance; and any such purported assignment, cancellation, modification, surrender or prepayment made without consent of Mortgagee shall be void as against Mortgagee.
 
2.15 Mortgagor shall, within three (3) days following the written request of Mortgagee, furnish a duly acknowledged written statement to Mortgagee, or any proposed assignee of this Mortgage, setting forth the amount of the Obligations and stating either that no off-sets or defenses exist against the Obligations, or, if such off-sets or defenses are alleged to exist, the nature and amount thereof.
 
2.16 Mortgagor agrees not to do or suffer any act or thing which would impair the security of the Obligations or of the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property, or the rents, issues or profits thereof.
 
ARTICLE III
 
Insurance, Damage or Destruction
 
3.1 Mortgagor will insure itself, Mortgagee, and the Mortgaged Property against such perils and to such limits as Mortgagee shall reasonably require. All such insurance shall be in such forms and with such companies, and written in such amounts and with such deductibles and endorsements, as may be reasonably satisfactory to Mortgagee from time to time, and losses thereunder shall be payable to Mortgagee under a standard form of mortgagee endorsement and shall require that the insurer provide Mortgagee with thirty (30) days notice in the event of cancellation or change to the scope or limits of the insurance coverage. Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee at least annually current certificates of coverage addressed to Mortgagee, showing that the coverage required hereunder has been established for at least twelve (12) additional months and that the entire premium for such twelve (12) month period has been prepaid, and confirming that Mortgagee is the mortgagee and loss payee under such policy.

Exhibit (b)(2)


 
3.2 Mortgagor will promptly notify Mortgagee of any loss thereunder, and Mortgagee may, after notice of its intention to do so to Mortgagor, make proof of loss thereof if not made within a reasonable time by Mortgagor. Mortgagee may, after notice of its intention to do so to Mortgagor, on behalf of Mortgagor adjust and compromise any claims under such insurance and collect and receive the proceeds thereof and endorse drafts and Mortgagee is hereby irrevocably appointed attorney-in-fact of Mortgagor for such purposes. Mortgagee may deduct from such proceeds any expenses properly incurred by Mortgagee in collecting same, including reasonable counsel fees. Mortgagee shall hold such proceeds for the purposes set forth in Article V of this Mortgage.
 
3.3 Mortgagor will not maintain any other insurance on the Mortgaged Property competing or contributing, in right of payment or otherwise, with any of the insurance required to be afforded to Mortgagee hereunder unless Mortgagee is made the loss payee under such other insurance. Mortgagor hereby assigns to Mortgagee all returned or unearned premiums which may be due upon the cancellation of any such policies for any reason whatsoever and hereby directs the insurer thereunder to pay to Mortgagee any amount so due, provided that so long as there does not exist any Event of Default, or any event which with the giving of notice or the lapse of time, or both, would constitute an Event of Default, Mortgagee agrees immediately to refund to Mortgagor any such returned or unearned premium actually received by Mortgagee. Mortgagor hereby irrevocably appoints Mortgagee as Mortgagor’s attorney-in-fact to endorse any draft or check which may be payable to such Mortgagor in order to collect any such returned or unearned premium or the proceeds of any such insurance. The balance of any insurance proceeds remaining after payment in full of the Obligations shall be refunded to Mortgagor.
 
3.4 If Mortgagor shall fail to procure, pay for and deliver to Mortgagee any policy or policies of insurance or renewals thereof, Mortgagee may at its option, but shall be under no obligation to do so, effect such insurance and pay the premiums therefor, and Mortgagor will repay to Mortgagee on demand any premiums so paid, with interest, at the Default Interest Rate, and until so paid, the same shall be secured by this Mortgage. Unless Mortgagor provides Mortgagee with evidence of the insurance coverage required by this Mortgage, Mortgagee may purchase insurance at Mortgagor's expense to protect Mortgagee's interests in the Mortgaged Property. This insurance may, but need not, protect Mortgagor's interest. The coverage that Mortgagee purchases may not pay any claim that Mortgagor may make or any claim that is made against Mortgagor in connection with the Mortgaged Property. Mortgagor may later cancel any insurance purchased by Mortgagee, but only after providing Mortgagee with evidence that Mortgagor has obtained insurance as required by this Mortgage. If Mortgagee purchases insurance for the Mortgaged Property, Mortgagor will be responsible for the costs of such insurance, including interest and any other charges that may be imposed in connection with the placement of such insurance, until the effective date of the cancellation or expiration of such insurance. Without limitation of any other provision of this Mortgage, the cost of such insurance shall be added to the indebtedness secured hereby. The cost of the insurance may be more than the cost of insurance Mortgagor may be able to obtain on its own.
 
3.5 Upon the written request of Mortgagee, but subject to the terms and conditions of the Senior Mortgage, Mortgagor will pay to Mortgagee monthly, a sum equal to one-twelfth (1/12) of the annual premiums for the insurance required to be maintained under this Mortgage. The terms and conditions of Section 1.2 hereof relating to payments of Taxes, Rents and other similar charges shall also apply to insurance premium payments made pursuant to this section.

ARTICLE IV 
 
Condemnation
 
4.1 Mortgagor, immediately upon obtaining knowledge of the institution of any proceedings for the condemnation of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof shall notify Mortgagee of the pendency of such proceedings. Unless and until Mortgagee shall notify Mortgagor of Mortgagee’s intent to appear and prosecute such proceedings, pursuant to the appointment and assignment given herein by Mortgagor to Mortgagee, Mortgagor may appear in and prosecute such proceedings in any lawful manner; provided, however, that Mortgagor shall have no right or authority to execute any instrument of conveyance or confirmation in favor of the condemnor except subject hereto, nor to accept any payment or settle or compromise any claim of Mortgagor arising out of such condemnation proceedings without the consent of Mortgagee. Mortgagee’s election not to appear in or prosecute such proceedings shall not diminish any right Mortgagee may have to receive any amount paid in connection with such condemnation and to apply such funds as herein provided.
 
ARTICLE V
 
Distribution Upon Damage, Destruction or Condemnation
 
5.1 In the event the whole or materially all of the Mortgaged Property shall be destroyed or damaged, Mortgagee shall have the right to collect the proceeds of any insurance and to retain and apply such proceeds, at its election, to the reduction of the Obligations or to restoration, repair, replacement, rebuilding or alteration (herein sometimes collectively called the “Restoration”) of the Mortgaged Property. In the event the whole or materially all of the Mortgaged Property shall be taken in condemnation proceedings or by agreement between Mortgagor and Mortgagee and the condemning authority, Mortgagee shall apply such award or proceeds thereof first to payment of the Obligations, and any balance then remaining shall be paid to Mortgagor. For the purposes of this Article V, “materially all of the Mortgaged Property” shall be deemed to have been damaged, destroyed or taken if the portion of the Mortgaged Property not so damaged, destroyed or taken cannot be repaired or reconstructed so as to constitute a complete structure and facility usable in substantially the manner as prior to the damage, destruction or taking.
 
5.2 So long as no Event of Default has occurred, in the event of partial destruction or partial condemnation, all of the proceeds or awards shall be collected and held by Mortgagee, and shall be applied by Mortgagee to the payment of the Restoration, from time to time as the Restoration progresses, upon the written request of Mortgagor, so long as:
 
(a) such proceeds are, in Mortgagee’s reasonable judgment, sufficient to cover the cost of such Restoration or, if insufficient, Mortgagor deposits with Mortgagee the amount of any such deficiency;
 
(b) Mortgagor shall deliver to Mortgagee contracts, plans and specifications for the Restoration which are satisfactory to Mortgagee;
 
(c) the work for which payment is requested has been done in a good and workmanlike manner and Mortgagor presents evidence satisfactory to Mortgagee of amounts owed or paid by Mortgagor for completed Restoration work;
 

 
10

 
Exhibit (b)(2)


 
(d) the Mortgaged Property, after such Restoration is or will be, in the reasonable judgment of Mortgagee, of an economic utility not less than that of the Mortgaged Property prior to the casualty or condemnation; and
 
(e) Mortgagor shall comply with such further conditions in connection with the use of such proceeds or award as Mortgagee may reasonably request.
 
Any balance remaining in the hands of Mortgagee after payment of such Restoration shall be retained by Mortgagee and applied to the payment of the Obligations.
 
5.3 Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Article V regarding insurance or condemnation proceeds, if no Event of Default has occurred, and if such proceeds do not exceed $25,000.00, and if the undamaged or uncondemned portion of the Mortgaged Property can be continuously used during the Restoration period as a complete structure and operating facility in substantially the same manner as prior to the damage, Mortgagee will endorse and deliver to Mortgagor any check evidencing the collection of insurance or condemnation proceeds and Mortgagor will apply all of such funds to the Restoration and promptly provide Mortgagee with copies of all receipts, canceled checks and other written evidence of compliance herewith.
 
5.4 No damage, destruction or condemnation of the Mortgaged Property nor any application of insurance or condemnation proceeds to the payment of the Obligations shall postpone or reduce the amount of any of the current installments of principal or interest becoming due under the Obligations which shall continue to be made in accordance with the terms of the Obligations until the Obligations and all interest due thereunder are paid in full.
 
ARTICLE VI
 
Events of Default and Remedies
 
6.1 Each of the following shall constitute an “Event of Default” under this Mortgage and the other Documents:
 
(a) the occurrence of an Event of Default under the Loan Agreement; or
 
(b) failure of Mortgagor to provide the insurance required in Article III hereof; or
 
(c) the occurrence of a default or event of default under any one or more of the Documents.
 
6.2 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right and is hereby authorized, but without any obligation to do so, to perform the defaulted obligation and to discharge Mortgagor’s obligations on behalf of Mortgagor and to pay any sums necessary for that purpose, and the sums so expended by Mortgagee shall be an obligation of Mortgagor, shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate, be payable on demand, and be added to the Obligations. Mortgagee shall be subrogated to all the rights, equities and liens discharged by any such expenditure. Such performance by Mortgagee on behalf of Mortgagor shall not constitute a waiver by Mortgagee of such default and shall not limit Mortgagee’s rights, remedies and recourse hereunder, or the Obligations, or as otherwise provided at law or in equity. Notwithstanding that the Obligations shall not have been declared due and payable upon any such default, the Obligations shall bear interest at the Default Interest Rate from the date of notice and demand therefor by Mortgagee until such default shall have been completely cured and removed to the satisfaction of Mortgagee.
 

 
11

 
Exhibit (b)(2)


 
6.3 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, the entire unpaid balance of the principal, accrued interest and all other sums secured by this Mortgage shall, at the option of Mortgagee, become immediately due and payable without further notice or demand and Mortgagee shall have and may exercise all the rights and remedies permitted by law, including without limitation the right to foreclose this Mortgage, and proceed thereon to final judgment and execution thereon for the entire unpaid balance of the Obligations, with interest, at the Default Interest Rate and pursuant to the methods of calculation specified in the Note, together with all other sums secured by this Mortgage, all costs of suits, interest at the Default Interest Rate and reasonable attorney’s fees. In any such foreclosure proceedings, the Mortgaged Property shall be sold, at the sole option of Mortgagee, either (a) in one lot or unit and as an entirety; or (b) in such lots or units and in such order and manner as may be required by law; or (c) in the absence of any such requirement, in such lots or units and in such order and manner as Mortgagee may determine in its sole discretion.
 
6.4 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall have the right, without further notice or demand and without the appointment of a receiver, but with all the powers a receiver would have, to enter immediately upon and take possession of the Mortgaged Property, without further consent or assignment of Mortgagor or any subsequent owner of the Mortgaged Property, with the right to let the Mortgaged Property, or any part thereof, and to collect and receive all of the rents, issues, profits and other amounts due or to become due to Mortgagor or any such subsequent owner and to apply the same in such order of priority as Mortgagee shall determine at its sole option, after payment of all necessary charges and expenses in connection with the operation of the Mortgaged Property (including any managing agent’s commission), on account of Taxes, Rents, interest, principal, and insurance premiums and any advances for improvements, alterations or repairs or otherwise pursuant to the terms hereof for the account of Mortgagor, or on account of the Obligations. Mortgagee may institute legal proceedings against any tenant of the Mortgaged Property who commits an event of default under his/her/its lease. If Mortgagor or any such subsequent owner is occupying the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof, such Mortgagor or subsequent owner will, at the election of Mortgagee, either immediately vacate and surrender possession thereof to Mortgagee or pay to Mortgagee a fair and reasonable rental for the use thereof, monthly in advance, and, in default of so doing, Mortgagor or such subsequent owner may be dispossessed by legal proceedings or otherwise.
 
6.5 Upon any foreclosure sale, Mortgagee may bid for and purchase all or any portion of the Mortgaged Property and, upon compliance with the terms of the sale, may hold, retain and possess and dispose of such property in its own absolute right without further accountability. The proceeds of any foreclosure sale of the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof received by Mortgagee shall be applied by Mortgagee to the indebtedness secured hereby in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect. Upon any foreclosure sale, Mortgagee may apply any or all of the indebtedness and other sums due to Mortgagee under the Note, the Guaranty, this Mortgage or any other Document to the price paid by Mortgagee at the foreclosure sale.
 
6.6 Mortgagor hereby waives any and all rights of redemption. Mortgagor further agrees, to the full extent permitted by law, that in case of an Event of Default, neither Mortgagor nor anyone claiming through or under it will set up, claim or seek to take advantage of any reinstatement, appraisement, valuation, stay or extension laws now or hereafter in force, or take any other action which would prevent or hinder the enforcement or foreclosure of this Mortgage or the absolute sale of the Mortgaged Property or the final and absolute putting into possession thereof, immediately after such sale, of the purchaser thereat. Mortgagor, for itself and all who may at any time claim through or under it, hereby waives, to the full extent that it may lawfully so do, the benefit of all such laws, and any and all right to have the assets comprising the Mortgaged Property marshaled upon any foreclosure of the lien hereof and agrees that Mortgagee or any court having jurisdiction to foreclose such lien may sell the Mortgaged Property in part or as an entirety. Mortgagor acknowledges that the transaction of which this Mortgage is a part is a transaction which does not include either agricultural real estate (as defined in Section 15-1201 of the Illinois Mortgage Foreclosure Law (735 ILCS 5/15-1101 et seq.) (the "Act")) or residential real estate (as defined in Section 15-1219 of the Act), and to the full extent permitted by law, hereby voluntarily and knowingly waives its rights to reinstatement and redemption as allowed under Section 15-1601 of the Act.
 

 
12

 
Exhibit (b)(2)


 
6.7 (a) Upon occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee shall be entitled to sue for and to recover judgment against Mortgagor for the Obligations due and unpaid together with costs and expenses, including, without limitation, the reasonable compensation, expenses and disbursements of Mortgagee's lenders, attorneys and other representatives, either before, after or during the pendency of any proceedings for the enforcement of this Mortgage; and the right of Mortgagee to recover such judgment shall not be affected by any taking of possession or foreclosure sale hereunder, or by the exercise of any other right, power or remedy for the enforcement of the terms of this Mortgage, or the foreclosure of the lien hereof.
 
(b) In case of a foreclosure sale of all or any part of the Mortgaged Property and of the application of the proceeds of sale to the payment of the Obligations, Mortgagee shall be entitled to enforce all other rights and remedies under the Documents.
 
(c) Mortgagor hereby agrees, to the extent permitted by law, that no recovery of any judgment by Mortgagee under any of the Documents, and no attachment or levy of execution upon any of the Mortgaged Property or any other property of Mortgagor, shall (except as otherwise provided by law) in any way affect the lien of this Mortgage upon the Mortgaged Property or any part thereof or any lien, rights, powers or remedies of Mortgagee hereunder, but such lien, rights, powers and remedies shall continue unimpaired as before until the Obligations are paid in full.
 
(d) Any monies collected or received by Mortgagee under this Section shall be applied to the payment of compensation, expenses and disbursements of the lenders, attorneys and other representatives of Mortgagee, and the balance remaining shall be applied to the payment of the Obligations, in such order and manner as Mortgagee may elect, and any surplus, after payment of all Obligations, shall be paid to Mortgagor.
 
6.8 In the event that any provision in this Mortgage shall be inconsistent with any provision of the Act, the provisions of the Act shall take precedence over the provisions of this Mortgage, but shall not invalidate or render unenforceable any other provision of this Mortgage that can be construed in a manner consistent with the Act. If any provision of this Mortgage shall grant to Mortgagee any rights or remedies upon default of Mortgagor which are more limited than the rights that would otherwise be vested in Mortgagee under the Act in the absence of said provision, Mortgagee shall be vested with the rights granted in the Act to the full extent permitted by law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, all expenses incurred by Mortgagee to the extent reimbursable under Sections 15-1510 and 15-1512 of the Act, whether incurred before or after any decree or judgment of foreclosure, and whether enumerated in this Mortgage, shall be added to the indebtedness secured by this Mortgage or by the judgment of foreclosure.
 
6.9 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagee may proceed to protect and enforce its rights under this Mortgage by suit for specific performance of any covenant herein contained, or in aid of the execution of any power herein granted, or for the foreclosure of this Mortgage and the sale of the Mortgaged Property under the judgment or decree of a court of competent jurisdiction, or for the enforcement of any other right as Mortgagee shall deem most effectual for such purpose. The foregoing rights shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, the rights of Mortgagee as a secured creditor under the applicable UCC with respect to any portion of the Mortgaged Property which is subject to such UCC. Mortgagee may also proceed in any other manner permitted by law to enforce its rights hereunder and under the other Documents.
 

 
13

 
Exhibit (b)(2)


 
6.10 No failure or delay on the part of Mortgagee in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Mortgage, and no course of dealings between Mortgagor and Mortgagee, shall operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No notice to or demand on Mortgagor shall entitle Mortgagor to any other or further notice or demand in similar or other circumstances or constitute a waiver of the right of Mortgagee to any other or further action in the same or other circumstances without notice or demand.
 
6.11 In any action to foreclose this Mortgage, Mortgagee, to the fullest extent permitted by law, shall be entitled as a matter of right to the appointment of a receiver of the Mortgaged Property and of the rents, revenues, issues, income and profits thereof, without notice or demand, and without regard to the adequacy of the security for the Obligations or the solvency of Mortgagor.
 
6.11 The rights and remedies of Mortgagee expressed or contained in this Mortgage are cumulative and no one of them shall be deemed to be exclusive of the others or of any right or remedy Mortgagee may now or hereafter have at law or in equity. The covenants of this Mortgage shall run with the Real Estate and bind Mortgagor and, unless the context clearly indicates a contrary intent or unless otherwise specifically provided herein, its successors and assigns and all subsequent owners, encumbrancers, tenants and subtenants of the Mortgaged Property and shall inure to the benefit of Mortgagee and its successors and assigns and all subsequent holders of this Mortgage and the Obligations.
 
6.12 Mortgagee may in its discretion from time to time grant to Mortgagor indulgences, forbearances and extensions of the Obligations, may release, with or without consideration, any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien hereof, and may accept other and further collateral security for the payment of and strict and faithful performance of the Obligations, all without otherwise affecting the liability of any person or impairing or affecting the lien or priority of this Mortgage, and the release of any portion of the Mortgaged Property from the lien hereof shall not affect the lien of this Mortgage with respect to the remainder of the Mortgaged Property.
 
6.13 Mortgagor hereby waives and relinquishes the benefits of all present and future laws (i) exempting the Mortgaged Property or any other property or any part of the proceeds of sale thereof from attachment, levy or sale on execution; (ii) staying execution or other process; and (iii) requiring valuation or appraisement of the Mortgaged Property or any other property levied or sold upon execution under any judgment recovered for the Obligations.
 
6.14 Upon the occurrence of an Event of Default, Mortgagor shall pay monthly in advance to Mortgagee, or to any receiver appointed at the request of Mortgagee to collect the rents, revenues, issues and profits of the Mortgaged Property, the fair and reasonable rental value for the use and occupancy of the Mortgaged Property or of such part thereof as may be possessed by Mortgagor. Upon default in payment thereof, Mortgagor shall vacate and surrender possession of the Mortgaged Property to Mortgagee or such receiver, and upon a failure to do so may be evicted by summary proceedings, in the manner hereinabove provided or otherwise.

2.5    Information Concerning the Company. The Purchaser has been given full access to all material information concerning the condition, properties, operations and prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries.

In making its decision to purchase the Shares being purchased by the Purchaser hereunder, the Purchaser acknowledges and represents that: (a) it has such business and financial experience as is required to give it the capacity to protect Purchaser’s own interests in connection with the purchase of the Shares; and (b) Purchaser will make his own investment decision regarding the Shares based on his own knowledge and investigation of the Company and the Shares.
 
2.5    Information Concerning the Company. The Purchaser has been given full access to all material information concerning the condition, properties, operations and prospects of the Company and its subsidiaries.

The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares solely for his own account and for investment only, and not with a view to or for the resale, distribution, subdivision or fractionalization thereof, and the Purchaser has no present intent to enter into any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement for any such purpose.
