Through these agreements, the parties agreed to certain modifications to the terms and conditions of the 10% Convertible Notes held by Microcapital Fund Ltd. and Microcapital Fund L.P., including the elimination of the convertible feature of the notes, and to the repurchase and cancellation of all warrants issued and contingently issuable under the original transactions.  Upon closing of the transaction, the notes issued to the Microcapital entities will be non-convertible subordinated debt of the Company. 

Media Sciences International's President and CEO Michael Levin commented, "We believe the modification of the notes and repurchase of the warrants enhances our capital structure by eliminating the significant dilution that could have resulted from the nearly 2.3 million shares of the Company's stock that were potentially issuable under the original agreements.  This transaction also provides us greater flexibility to finance the future growth of Media Sciences."
