From time to time during the Subsequent Term, if any, the Administrative Borrower may request that the Purchaser fund Advances under the Note to or on behalf of the Borrowers, which request shall be in the form of a Disbursement Request and specify the principal amount of the proposed Advance and the item(s) in the Subsequent Approved Budget to which the request relates.  The Purchaser shall fund Disbursement Requests not later than three (3) Business Days following receipt thereof; provided, that any Disbursement Request received by the Purchaser after 11:00 a.m. (Los Angeles time) on any Business Day (or received at any time on a day that is not a Business Day) shall be deemed to have been received on the next succeeding Business Day.  The Purchaser shall not be obligated to fund any Advance unless it elects to do so in its sole and absolute discretion.

3.           Amendment Fee.  On the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have earned, and the Borrowers hereby jointly and severally agree to pay the Purchaser, an amendment fee (the “Amendment Fee”) of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000).  Such fee is nonrefundable and is fully earned and payable upon the effectiveness of this Amendment and the Borrowers acknowledge and agree that they shall be deemed to have requested an Advance on the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date in an amount equal to the Amendment Fee.

In the event that the Borrowers are obligated to return any deposits or pre-payments to a customer for which the Purchaser previously received any payment pursuant to this Section 5(a), upon demand of the Borrowers, the Purchaser shall return to the Borrowers an amount equal to the payment so received.  All such payments (unless returned to the Borrowers in accordance with the preceding sentence) shall be applied to the Amendment No. 1 Capitalized Obligations (including all such Amendment No. 1 Capitalized Obligations accruing or incurred on and after the Amendment No. 1 Effective Date).  The Borrowers shall, prior to payment to the Purchaser pursuant to this Section 5(a), cause all collections, payments and proceeds subject to this Section 5(a) to be deposited in a bank account set forth on Schedule 3.29 to the Purchase Agreement with respect to which a Borrower has entered into a deposit account control agreement reasonably acceptable to the Purchaser.


 


(b)           Effective upon the receipt by the Purchaser of payment in full of cash of all then-outstanding Amendment No. 1 Capitalized Obligations (the “Amendment No. 1 Waiver/Amendment Effective Date”), and provided that no Default or Event of Default other than the Specified Events of Default has occurred and is continuing, the Purchaser shall be deemed to have waived the Specified Events of Default and the covenant set forth in Section 5(a) hereof shall terminate and no longer be in force and effect.

(ii)           Section 9.21 of the Purchase Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:


 


“9.21           Unit Sales.  The Borrowers shall, (a) within thirty (30) days following the Amendment No. 1 Waiver/Amendment Effective Date, recognize revenue with respect to the sale of two (2) units to independent third party customers on market terms pursuant to arms’ length transactions, (b) within ninety (90) days following the Amendment No. 1 Waiver/Amendment Effective Date, recognize revenue with respect to the sale of fifteen (15) units (including units counted for purposes of clause (a) above) to independent third party customers on market terms pursuant to arms’ length transactions, and (c) within one hundred and fifty (150) days following the Amendment No. 1 Waiver/Amendment Effective Date, recognize revenue with respect to the sale of twenty five (25) units (including units counted for purposes of clause (b) above) to independent third party customers on market terms pursuant to arms’ length transactions.  For the purposes hereof, the Borrowers shall be deemed to have “recognized revenue,” (x) with respect to sales to customers inside the United States, when a unit is accepted by the customer in writing, and (y) with respect to sales to customers located outside of the United States, when either (i) a unit departs the factory and said departure is verified by an export manifest or (ii) the customer executes a bill and hold letter agreement.”


 


6.           Representations and Warranties of the Borrowers.  Each Borrower makes the following representations and warranties to the Purchaser, each and all of which shall survive the execution and delivery of this Amendment:


 


(a)           This Amendment has been executed and delivered by duly authorized representatives of each Borrower, and the Purchase Agreement, as modified and amended by this Amendment, constitutes a legal, valid and binding obligation of such Borrower, and is enforceable against such Borrower in accordance with its terms, except as enforcement may be limited by equitable principles or by bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws relating to or limiting creditors’ rights generally;


 


(b)           After giving effect to this Amendment, no Default or Event of Default has occurred or is continuing other than the Specified Events of Default; and


 


(c)           After giving effect to this Amendment, all of the representations and warranties of the Borrowers contained in the Purchase Agreement continue to be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or modified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or “Material Adverse Change” in the text thereof, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects subject to such qualification) on and as of the date hereof as though made on and as of such date, except to the extent that any such representation or warranty expressly relates solely to an earlier date (in which case such representation or warranty shall be true and correct in all material respects (except that such materiality qualifier shall not be applicable to any representations or warranties that already are qualified or modified as to “materiality” or “Material Adverse Effect” or “Material Adverse Change” in the text thereof, which representations and warranties shall be true and correct in all respects subject to such qualification) on and as of such earlier date.

7.           No Waivers.  The execution, delivery and effectiveness of this Amendment shall not operate as a waiver of the Specified Events of Default or any other Default or Event of Default or any right, power or remedy of the Purchaser under the Purchase Agreement or any of the other Investment Documents, nor constitute a waiver of any provision of the Purchase Agreement or any of the other Investment Documents, whether arising as a result of the Specified Events of Default or any other Default or Event of Default or otherwise.  This Amendment shall not constitute a modification of the Purchase Agreement or a course of dealing between the Borrowers, on the one hand, and the Purchaser, on the other hand, at variance with the Purchase Agreement such as to require further notice by the Purchaser to the Borrowers to require strict compliance with the terms of the Purchase Agreement and the other Investment Documents in the future, except as expressly set forth herein. Each Borrower acknowledges and expressly agrees that the Purchaser reserves the right to, and does in fact, require strict compliance with all terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement and the other Investment Documents and reserves and preserves its rights, remedies and powers with respect to the Specified Events of Default and any other Default or Event of Default which may now exist or hereafter arise under the Investment Documents.  No Borrower has knowledge of any challenge to the Purchaser’s rights arising under the Investment Documents or the effectiveness of the Investment Documents.

(a)           The Purchase Agreement, as amended hereby, and each of the other Investment Documents shall be and remain in full force and effect in accordance with their respective terms and hereby are ratified and confirmed in all respects.


 


(b)           Upon and after the effectiveness of this Amendment, each reference in the Purchase Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “herein,” “hereof” or words of like import referring to the Purchase Agreement, and each reference in the other Investment Documents to “the Purchase Agreement,” “thereunder,” “therein,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Purchase Agreement, shall mean and be a reference to the Purchase Agreement as modified and amended hereby.


 


(c)           To the extent that any terms and conditions in any of the Investment Documents shall contradict or be in conflict with any terms or conditions of the Purchase Agreement, after giving effect to this Amendment, such terms and conditions are hereby deemed modified or amended accordingly to reflect the terms and conditions of the Purchase Agreement as modified or amended hereby.
