Re:    October 1, 2005 Stock Purchase Agreement (“Agreement”) with Earth Biofuels, Inc.

 

Dear Mr. Bell:

 

This letter agreement (herein so called) is intended to supplement the provisions of the referenced Agreement.

 

In order to effect a closing of the transaction contemplated by the Agreement, the parties agree to the following:

2.               The net worth of Wing Sail (as reflected in the Financial Statements) for purposes of determining the number of restricted shares of Earth Biofuels, Inc. (“Buyer”) to be delivered to Mr. Peter Bell, as seller (“Seller”), is agreed to be $333,390. Accordingly, the net worth is 55.56% of the target net worth of $600,000 (calculated as $333,390 ÷ $600,000 = .5556).

 

3.               The number of shares of Buyer (the “Closing Shares”) to be delivered to Seller at closing is 6,667,800 (calculated as 12,000,000 x ..5556 = 6,667,800).

 

4.               Provided that the remaining terms of this letter agreement have been satisfied, as acknowledged in a writing to such effect executed by Buyer, Buyer shall deliver the Closing Shares to Seller within 2 business thereafter.
