also not a relinquishment of any rights or remedies Lender may have in connection with the Revolving Note, the Second Restated Term Note, the Restated Term Note, the Loan Agreement or any other Loan Document. 


	As a material condition to Lender entering into this Agreement, Borrower and each Guarantor by executing this Agreement voluntarily and expressly waives any and all rights to assert a claim, counterclaim or defense which now exists against Lender arising out of or in any way connected with the Revolving Note, the Second Restated Term Note, the Restated Term Note, the Loan Agreement, or any other Loan Document.

	Borrower and each Guarantor by executing this Agreement confirms that all of the representations and warranties set forth in the Loan Agreement are true and correct, and that all covenants of Borrower described therein have been performed.  There have been no changes to the information set forth in Schedules 5.2, 5.3, 5.8, 5.9, 5.13, 5.14, 5.15, 5.16, 5.17, 5.18, 5.21 and 5.23 of the Loan Agreement, copies of which are annexed hereto except as set forth in such schedule.  [Updated schedules will be submitted by Borrower to Lender not later than April 15, 2006.]
	BORROWER BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS HAD A FULL AND FAIR OPPORTUNITY TO REVIEW THIS AGREEMENT AND THE DOCUMENTS REFERRED TO HEREIN WITH COUNSEL OF ITS CHOICE AND THAT IT HAS BEEN ADVISED AS TO THEIR TERMS AND CONDITIONS, WHICH ARE ACCEPTABLE TO IT.  FURTHER, BORROWER CONFIRMS THAT IN DELIVERING THIS AGREEMENT TO LENDER, IT IS NOT RELYING ON ANY PROMISE, COMMITMENT, REPRESENTATION OR UNDERSTANDING, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, MADE BY OR ON BEHALF OF LENDER THAT IS NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, OR IN THE LOAN AGREEMENT, THE REVOLVING NOTE, THE SECOND RESTATED TERM NOTE, THE RESTATED TERM NOTE OR ANY OTHER LOAN DOCUMENT.  BORROWER BY EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT ACKNOWLEDGES AND UNDERSTANDS THAT ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE REVOLVING NOTE ARE DUE AND PAYABLE ON THE TERMINATION DATE AND THAT ALL OBLIGATIONS UNDER THE SECOND RESTATED TERM NOTE ARE DUE AND PAYABLE ON MAY 30, 2007, UNLESS LENDER IN ITS SOLE AND ABSOLUTE DISCRETION EXTENDS THE MATURITY DATE OF ANY SUCH OBLIGATION AND THAT LENDER HAS NOT MADE ANY REPRESENTATION THAT IT WILL EXTEND THE MATURITY DATE OF ANY SUCH OBLIGATION.

While the parties hereto may reach preliminary agreement as to the modification of one or more provisions of the Loan Agreement, the Revolving Note and/or the Second Restated Term Note, none of the undersigned shall be bound by any agreement on any individual point until agreement is reached on every issue and the agreement on all such issues has been reduced to a written agreement signed by Lender and Borrower.  Further, the Loan Agreement may only be amended by a written agreement executed by Borrower and Lender and no negotiations or other actions undertaken by Lender shall constitute a waiver of Lender's rights under the Loan Agreement, the Revolving Note and/or the Second Restated Term Note, except to the extent specifically set forth in a written agreement complying with the provisions of this paragraph.
	This document may be executed in one or more counterparts and all such documents taken together shall be

$400,000.00
	 	
March 8, 2006

	 	 	
Rye, New York






 

FOR VALUE RECEIVED, HUDSON TECHNOLOGIES COMPANY, a corporation organized and existing pursuant to the laws of the State of Tennessee having an address at 275 North Middletown Road, Pearl River, New York 10965 ("Borrower"), promises to pay to the order of KELTIC FINANCIAL PARTNERS, LP ("Lender") a Delaware limited partnership with a place of business at 555 Theodore Fremd Avenue, Suite C-207, Rye, New York 10580, or at such other place as Lender may from time to time in writing designate, the sum of FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND DOLLARS AND 00/100 ($400,000.00) as follows:  equal monthly installments each in the amount of $6,666.67 commencing on July 1, 2003 and payable on the first day of each month thereafter through and including May 1, 2007, followed by one (1) final payment on May 30, 2007 ("Maturity Date"), on which date all sums payable hereunder are immediately due and payable.  

Borrower also promises to pay interest to Lender monthly, in arrears, on the first day of each month, commencing on June 1, 2003 on the average daily unpaid principal balance of this Note at a fluctuating rate which is equal to the Loan Interest Rate.

This Note, replaces and supersedes (but shall not be considered a repayment of) a note of Borrower dated May 30, 2003 in the original principal amount of $400,000.00 and note of Borrower dated as of August 30, 2005 in the original principal amount of $400,000.00 (collectively, the "Prior Note").  Any and all amounts evidenced by the Prior Note shall hereafter be evidenced by this Note and any accrued but unpaid interest due and owing under the Prior Note shall be payable on the first interest payment date hereunder.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the occurrence of an Event of Default, Borrower shall pay interest on the unpaid principal balance of this Note at a rate which is three and one-half percent (3.5%) per annum above the Loan Interest Rate, provided, however, in no event shall any interest to be paid hereunder exceed the maximum rate permitted by law.  

Any partial prepayments made by Borrower will be applied against the remaining unpaid payments due hereunder in the inverse order of the maturity of such payments.

This is a term note referred to in the revolving loan agreement between Borrower and Lender dated May 30, 2003 (the "Loan Agreement")(the Loan Agreement together with the other documents, instruments and agreements executed in connection therewith, as they have been or may from time to time be modified, amended, restated or replaced are hereinafter collectively referred to as, the "Loan Documents").  This Note is entitled to the benefits of all of the terms and conditions and the security of all of the security interests and liens granted by Borrower or any other person to Lender pursuant to the Loan Agreement or any of the other Loan Documents including, without limitation, supplemental provisions regarding mandatory and/or optional prepayment rights and premiums.  Capitalized terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meaning given such terms in the Loan Documents.   

Whenever any payment to be made under this Note shall otherwise be due on a day that is not a Banking Day, such payment shall be made on the next succeeding Banking Day, and such extension of time shall be included in computing interest in connection with any such payment.

This Note shall be binding upon and shall insure to the benefits of the parties, their successors and assigns.  Lender shall have the right, without the necessity of any further consent or authorization by Borrower, to sell, assign, securitize or grant participations in all, or a portion of, Lender's interest in this Note, to other financial institutions of Lender's choice and on such terms as are acceptable to Lender in its sole discretion.

This Note shall be governed by and construed under the internal laws of the State of New York, as the same may from time to time be in effect, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws thereof. 

Borrower and all other Persons who, at any time, may be liable hereon in any capacity waive presentment, demand for payment, protest and notice of dishonor of this Note.  This Note may not be changed orally, but only by an agreement in writing which is signed by the holder and the Persons against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification or discharge is sought.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Borrower has executed this Note on the day and year first above written.
