WHEREAS, Section 13.4 of the Purchase Agreement provides that the Purchase Agreement may be amended by execution of a written instrument executed by the parties thereto; and

WHEREAS, pursuant to Section 1.3.3 of the Purchase Agreement, Buyer may designate in writing any Executory Contract as a Contract to be assumed by it pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (the “Assumed Contracts”); and

WHEREAS, Sellers have previously prepared a schedule that was filed with the Bankruptcy Court on June 12, 2009, and is attached hereto as Annex A (the “Original Cure Cost Schedule”), setting forth the monetary amounts that must be paid and nonmonetary obligations that otherwise must be satisfied, including pursuant to Section 365(b)(1)(A) and (B) of the Bankruptcy Code, in order for Buyer to assume Sellers’ Executory Contracts pursuant to the Purchase Agreement (“Undisputed Cure Costs”); and

WHEREAS, notwithstanding anything contained in the Original Cure Cost Schedule to the contrary, Sellers have represented to Buyer that there exists no Undisputed Cure Cost or Disputed Cure Cost (together, “Cure Costs”) associated with the employee benefit plans of Sellers set forth on the schedule attached hereto as Annex B (the “Schedule of Benefit Plans”); and

 
 

 

WHEREAS, Section 5.1.6 of the Disclosure Letter contains, among other things, a listing of domain names of Sellers used in the conduct of the Business and includes in such listing of domain names the domain name “dormaid.com” (the “Dormaid Domain Name”); and

WHEREAS, Sellers have represented to Buyer, and Buyer hereby acknowledges, that Sellers included the Dormaid Domain Name in Section 5.1.6 of the Disclosure Letter in error and, notwithstanding the inclusion of the Dormaid Domain Name in Section 5.1.6 of the Disclosure Letter, Sellers desire not to transfer to Buyer at Closing Sellers’ right, title and interest in and to the Dormaid Domain Name pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, and the agreements, covenants, representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Agreement and herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which are hereby acknowledged and accepted, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

2.                 Notwithstanding anything contained in Section 5.1.6 of the Disclosure Letter to the contrary, Sellers and Buyer hereby agree that Section 5.1.6 of the Disclosure Letter shall be amended to eliminate the Dormaid Domain Name from such Section and accordingly, Sellers shall from and after the Closing, retain all right, title and interest in and to the Dormaid Domain Name.
 
3.                 Except as specifically amended hereby, the terms and provisions of the Purchase Agreement shall continue and remain in full force and effect and the valid and binding obligation of the parties thereto in accordance with its terms.  All references in the Purchase Agreement (and in any other agreements, documents and instruments entered into in connection therewith) to the “Purchase Agreement” shall be deemed for all purposes to refer to the Purchase Agreement, as amended by this Amendment.
