Dear Jay:
          Reference is made to that certain Amended and Restated Services Agreement between Barrett, Daffin Frappier Turner & Engel, LLP (the “Firm”) and National Default Exchange Holdings, LP (“NDEx”) dated September 2, 2008 (the “Services Agreement”).

The costs and expenses of such audits shall be paid by the Firm. A copy of each such audit shall be furnished to NDEx within 120 days after the end of the Firm’s fiscal year. For the fiscal year ending December 31, 2008, the Firm will furnish to NDEx audited financial statements covering the period beginning on the Effective Date through and including December 31, 2008.”

This First Amendment may be executed by facsimile or email transmission and in one or more counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument.
