NOW THEREFORE THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS:
ARTICLE 1 — DEFINITIONS
     All capitalized terms used and not defined in this amendment (the “Amendment”) shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Share Purchase Agreement.
ARTICLE 2 — ESTIMATED AND FINAL WORKING CAPITAL STATEMENT
     The Estimated Working Capital Statement attached as Exhibit A hereto showing Companies Working Capital of €8,009,000, shall constitue the Estimated Working Capital Statement for purposes of the Share Purchase Agreement and the Closing Purchase Price.
     The Final Closing Working Capital Statement shall set forth the Companies Working Capital as calculated in Exhibit A hereto.
ARTICLE 3 — MODIFICATION TO THE SHARE PURCHASE AGREEMENT
     The provisions of Section 1.3(b)(vii) of the Share Purchase Agreement shall be entirely replaced by the following:
     “If and to the extent that the Final Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Conclusive Closing Working Capital Statement is in excess €8,009,000, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be increased by a net amount equal to the difference between the Final Closing Working Capital and €8,009,000. For the avoidance of doubt, no increase of the Closing Purchase Price shall occur unless the Final Closing Working Capital is greater than €8,009,000.
     If and to the extent that the Final Closing Working Capital as set forth in the Conclusive Closing Working Capital Statement is less than €0, then the Closing Purchase Price shall be decreased of the amount by which the Final Closing Working Capital is less than €0. For the avoidance of doubt, no decrease of the Closing Purchase Price shall occur unless the Final Closing Working Capital is less than €0. If the Final Closing Working Capital is €0 or more and €8,009,000 or less, then no adjustment to the Closing Purchase Price will be made.
     Any net adjustment resulting in an increase from the Closing Purchase Price shall be paid by Buyer to Seller as provided in Section 1.4 and any net adjustment resulting in a decrease from the Closing Purchase Price shall be paid by Seller to Buyer as provided in Section 1.4.”
ARTICLE 4 — OTHER AGREEMENT
     The Parties agree that if and when any amount is received by Thales with respect to invoices number 0803040, 0803041, 0803054 and 0803075 originally issued by Thales e-Transactions Espana and, subsequently the receivables of such invoices are assigned to Thales, such amount shall be treated as a reduction of the Closing Purchase Price to be paid by Thales to Buyer up to an aggregate amount of €548,416.34.

     The provisions of Sections 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.12, 10.13 and 10.14 of the Share Purchase Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference in this Article 5 with the same effect as if such provisions were set forth herein; provided, however, that for purposes of such incorporation, the term this “Agreement” shall be deemed to mean this Amendment.
ARTICLE 6 — NO OTHER CHANGE
     Except for the amendment made under Article 3 above, the text of the Share Purchase Agreement, its Exhibits and its Schedules shall remain operative and shall continue in full force and effect. In case of discrepancy between the provisions of this Addendum and those of the Share Purchase Agreement, the former shall prevail.
