Within 10 days of the Amendment Date, HSMG shall issue the shares of Common Stock as required pursuant to Section 2.07 of this Agreement, which shares shall be issued in book entry format by HSMG’s transfer agent. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Section 2.07 of the Original Agreement required such shares to be issued “immediately prior to the Closing”, and the Parties now desire to waive and amend such provision such that the shares as set forth in Section 2.07 of the Agreement shall be issued as set forth in this Section 2.19(a).

(c)

The following is hereby added to the Original Agreement as a new Section 9.14 thereof, and the table of contents of the Original Agreement is deemed updated to include a reference to the same:

  

Section 9.14 Counsel. The Parties acknowledge and agree that Anthony L.G., PLLC (“Counsel”) has acted as legal counsel, and is acting as legal counsel, to each of the Parties. Each of the Parties acknowledges and agrees that they are aware of, and have consented to, the Counsel acting as legal counsel to each of the foregoing, notwithstanding that Counsel has advised each of the Parties to retain separate counsel to review the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the other documents to be delivered in connection herewith, and each Party has either waived such right freely or has otherwise sought such additional counsel as it has deemed necessary. Each of the Parties hereby waives any such conflict of interest, and confirms that the Parties have previously negotiated the material terms of the agreements as set forth herein.

 

 

(d)

Section 9.02 of the Original Agreement is amended by removing Davisson & Associates, PA as a party to which copies of notices to HSMG need be delivered.
