NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged and intending to be legally bound hereby, Putziger and Enterprise agree as follows:

 

1.             Section 1 of the Option Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following is substituted therefor:

 

Enterprise or, in its sole discretion, any affiliate thereof, may execute the option granted hereunder relating to OCH at any time after the date hereof and on or before December 31, 2008; provided, however, that Enterprise must give Putziger notice in writing at least 20 days prior to its exercising such option to acquire said rights and obligations.  Upon OCH notifying Enterprise of its intention to accept a bonafide third party offer to sell the

 



 

OCH related property, Enterprise will be entitled to execute the option expressed herein without fulfilling the 20 day notice otherwise required.

 

2.             This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall be deemed one and the same instrument.  Telefacsimile transmissions of any executed counterpart of this Termination and/or retransmission of any executed telefacsimile transmission shall be deemed to be the same as the delivery of an executed original.  At the request of either party hereto, the other party shall confirm telefacsimile transmission by executing duplicate original documents and delivering the same to the requesting party.
