In consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, Seller and Buyer agree to amend the Agreement as follows:

1.           Amendment to Section 1.2(a)(iv).  Section 1.2(a)(iv) of the Agreement is hereby amended by deleting it in its entirety and replacing it with the following text:

“(iv)                      the payment by Buyer to Seller via the Escrow Account with Escrow Holder of an additional two hundred fifty thousand US dollars ($250,000 USD) on or before November 30, 2010;”

2.           Sale of Shares.  In accordance with Section 1.2(e) of the Agreement, Buyer issued to Seller three common stock certificates for an aggregate one million five hundred thousand (1,500,000) shares of restricted common stock, $0.00001 par value per share, in Buyer (the “Shares”), which were issued by Buyer to Seller in equal denominations of 500,000 Shares each.  Seller may not transfer the Shares until the expiration of the applicable time periods noted in Section 1.2(e) of the Agreement, and the resale of the Shares is also subject to the requirements of the Act and applicable state securities laws.  Buyer agrees that, if Seller advises Buyer that it wishes to sell or transfer a portion of the Shares any time after the expiration of both the applicable holding period under Rule 144 and the restricted period under Section 1.2(e) of the Agreement for those particular Shares, then Buyer shall use commercially reasonable efforts to assist Seller in causing such sale or transfer of those Shares, including the delivery of appropriate instructions to Buyer’s transfer agent and assistance in obtaining any legal opinions that may be necessary.  Buyer and Seller shall endeavor to cause any such transfer or sale to be effected by the issuance of new certificates reflecting such transaction within five (5) business days of delivery of the certificates and valid instructions and/or documents of transfer to the transfer agent (a copy of which shall be sent concurrently to Buyer).
