THIS FIRST AMENDMENT TO CREDIT
AGREEMENT AND REVOLVING CREDIT NOTES (this “ Amendment
”) is made as of the 31st day of December, 2003 by and among
MTC TECHNOLOGIES, INC., a Delaware corporation (“ MTCT
”), MTC TECHNOLOGIES, INC. (formerly known as MODERN
TECHNOLOGIES CORP.), an Ohio corporation (together with MTCT,
collectively, “ Borrowers ” and, individually,
each a “ Borrower ”); the financial institutions
listed on Schedule 1 to the Credit Agreement (collectively,
the “ Banks ” and, individually, each a “
Bank ”); and NATIONAL CITY BANK, as lead arranger and
administrative agent for the Banks (“ Agent ”)
under the following circumstances:
A. The Borrowers, the Agent and the
Banks are parties to a Credit Agreement dated as of January 31,
2003 (as the same may be amended, supplemented, modified and/or
restated from time to time, the “ Credit Agreement
”). Unless otherwise defined herein, all capitalized terms
used herein shall have the respective meanings ascribed to those
terms by the Credit Agreement.
B. Pursuant to the Credit Agreement,
the Banks have provided the Revolving Loans to the Borrowers which
are evidenced by Revolving Credit Notes dated as of January 31,
2003 (collectively, as the same may be amended, supplemented,
modified and/or restated from time to time, the “ Original
Revolving Credit Notes ”).
C. The Borrowers, the Agent and the
Banks now desire to amend the Credit Agreement and the Original
Revolving Credit Notes for the reasons and upon the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Borrowers, the

Section 1. Amendment to Credit
Agreement .
(a) Amendment to Preamble .
Subsection (b) of the Preamble to the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended in its entirety to read as follows:
(b) and MTC TECHNOLOGIES, INC.,
formerly known as MODERN TECHNOLOGIES CORP., an Ohio corporation,
(together with MTCT, collectively, “Borrowers” and,
individually, each a “Borrower”);
(b) Amendment to Article I .
Article I to the Credit Agreement is amended by adding the
following new Section 1.4 immediately following Section
1.3:
1.4 USA Patriot Act
Notification . The following notification is provided to the
Borrowers pursuant to Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001,
31 U.S.C. Section 5318:
(a) IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT
PROCEDURES FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT. To help the government fight
the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal
law requires all financial institutions to obtain, verify, and
record information that identifies each person or entity that opens
an account, including any deposit account, treasury management
account, loan, other extension of credit, or other financial
services product. What this means for the Borrowers: When a
borrower opens an account, if borrower is an individual, the
applicable bank will ask for borrower’s name, taxpayer
identification number, residential address, date of birth and other
information that will allow such bank to identify borrower, and, if
borrower is not an individual, such bank will ask for
borrower’s name, taxpayer identification number, business
address, and other information that will allow such bank to
identify borrower. The bank may also ask, if borrower is an
individual, to see borrower’s driver’s license or other
identifying documents, and, if borrower is not an individual, to
see borrower’s legal organizational documents or other
identifying documents.
(b) Government Regulation. The
Borrowers shall not (a) be or become subject at any time to any
law, regulation, or list of any government agency (including,
without limitation, the U.S. Office of Foreign Asset Control list)
that prohibits or limits the Agent or Banks from making any advance
or extension of credit to the Borrowers or from otherwise
conducting business with the Borrowers, or (b) fail to provide
documentary and other evidence of the borrower identity as may be
requested by Agent or Banks at any time to enable Agent or Banks to
verify the Borrowers’ identity or to comply with any
applicable law or regulation, including, without limitation,
Section 326 of the USA Patriot Act of 2001, 31 U.S.C. Section
5318.
(c) Amendment to Section 1.1
. Section 1.1 of the Credit Agreement is hereby amended by deleting
the current definitions of “Capital Distribution”,
“Maximum Commitment Amount” and “Total Commitment
Amount” and replacing them with the following new
definitions:
“Capital Distribution”
shall mean a payment made, liability incurred or other
consideration given by any Company to any Person that is not a
Company, for the purchase, acquisition, redemption, repurchase or
retirement of any capital stock or other equity interest of such
Company or as a dividend, return of capital or other distribution
in respect of such Company’s capital stock or other equity
interest, but shall not include the following: (a) any stock
dividend, stock split or other equity distribution payable only in
capital stock or other equity of such Company, (b) any transaction
pursuant to the 2002 Equity and Performance
2
Incentive Plan of the Borrowers, (c)
any dividend, return of capital or other distribution in respect of
such Company’s capital stock or other equity interest so long
as such Company shall have demonstrated to the satisfaction of
Agent no less than 5 Business Days prior to such distribution,
evidence satisfactory to Agent of compliance with the following:
(i) no Default or an Event of Default shall then exist, or
immediately after giving effect to any such distribution would
exist, and (ii) the Leverage Ratio shall be less than 1.50 to 1.00
both prior to and immediately after giving effect to any such
distribution.
“Maximum Commitment
Amount” shall mean Eighty Million Dollars ($80,000,000), or
such other amount as shall be determined pursuant to Section 2.11
hereof.
“Total Commitment
Amount” shall mean Fifty-Five Million Dollars ($55,000,000),
as such amount may be increased up to the Maximum Commitment Amount
pursuant to Section 2.11(b) hereof, or decreased pursuant to
Section 2.11(a) hereof.
(d) Amendment to Section
2.11(b) . Section 2.11(b) of the Credit Agreement is hereby
amended in its entirety to provide as follows:
(b) Increase in Commitment .
At any time during the Commitment Increase Period, Administrative
Borrower may request that Agent increase the Total Commitment
Amount to the Maximum Commitment Amount by either (i) increasing,
for one or more Banks, with and subject to their prior written
consent, their respective Revolving Credit Commitments, or (ii)
with and subject to the prior written consent of Agent, including
one or more Additional Banks, each with a new Revolving Credit
Commitment, as a party to this Agreement (collectively, the
“Additional Commitment”). During the Commitment
Increase Period, the Banks agree that Agent, in its sole
discretion, may permit one or more Additional Commitments upon
satisfaction of the following requirements: (A) each Additional
Bank, if any, shall execute an Additional Bank Assumption
Agreement, (B) Agent shall provide to each Bank a revised
Schedule 1 to this Agreement, including revised Commitment
Percentages for each of the Banks, if appropriate, at least three
Business Days prior to the effectiveness of such Additional
Commitments (each an “Additional Bank Assumption Effective
Date”), and (C) Borrowers shall execute and deliver to Agent
and the Banks such replacement or additional Revolving Credit Notes
as shall be required by Agent. The Banks hereby authorize Agent to
execute each Additional Bank Assumption Agreement on behalf of the
Banks. On each Additional Bank Assumption Effective Date, the Banks
shall make adjustments among themselves with respect to the
Revolving Loans then outstanding and amounts of principal,
interest, commitment fees and other amounts paid or payable with
respect thereto as shall be necessary, in the opinion of Agent, in
order to reallocate among such Banks such outstanding amounts,
based on the revised Commitment Percentages and to otherwise carry
out fully the intent and terms of this subsection (b). It is
a
3
condition precedent to
Borrowers’ ability to request any increase in the Total
Commitment Amount pursuant to this subsection (b) that Borrowers
shall have demonstrated to the satisfaction of the Agent compliance
with each of the following: (x) no Default or Event of Default
shall then exist, or immediately after giving effect to any such
increase would exist, and (y) MTCT shall have completed a secondary
stock offering raising a minimum of $50,000,000 in additional
equity. Borrowers shall pay any attorneys’ fees or other
expenses of Agent in connection with the documentation of any such
increase, as well as such other fees as may be agreed upon between
Borrowers and Agent.
(e) Amendment to Section
5.7(f) . Section 5.7(f) of the Credit Agreement shall be
amended in its entirety to read as follows:
(f) Capital Expenditures .
Borrowers will not make or commit to make Capital Expenditures
exceeding 1.5% of annual Consolidated revenues of Borrowers in any
fiscal year of Borrowers.
(f) Amendment to Section 5.13 of
the Credit Agreement . Section 5.13 of the Credit Agreement
shall be amended in its entirety to read as follows:
Section 5.13. Acquisitions .

(a) in the case of a merger,
amalgamation or other combination including a Borrower, such
Borrower shall be the surviving entity;
(b) in the case of a merger,
amalgamation or other combination including a Credit Party (other
than a Borrower), a Credit Party shall be the surviving
entity;

(d) the Acquisition is
non-hostile;

purposes of this subsection (e), any reference to
“MTCT” in the definition of “Consolidated
EBITDA” or in the definition of any defined term comprising
such definition shall be a reference to the target of the
Acquisition);
(f) no Default or Event of Default
shall exist prior to or after giving effect to such
Acquisition;
4
(g) Borrowers shall have provided to
Agent and the Banks, at least ten (10) days prior to such
Acquisition, historical financial statements of the target entity
and a pro forma financial statement of the Companies accompanied by
a certificate of a Financial Officer of a Borrower showing pro
forma compliance with Section 5.7 hereof, both before and after the
proposed Acquisition; and
(h) immediately after the
consummation of such Acquisition, the amount equal to (i) the Total
Commitment Amount minus (ii) the Revolving Credit Exposure shall be
no less than Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000).

the Credit Agreement . Schedule 1 to the Credit
Agreement shall be deleted and replaced with the new Schedule
