3.             Amendment to Section 6.5.  Section 6.5, Post Closing Bonus Pool, is hereby amended and superseded by the following:

6.5           Post Closing Bonus Pool.  In the event the Shareholders are entitled to any Earnout Payments pursuant to Article VIII, THK shall cause additional capital to be contributed to Litmus Surviving Company to create a bonus pool (the “Bonus Pool”).  The Bonus Pool shall be used to pay bonuses to the pre-merger employees of Litmus identified in Schedule 6.5 (the “Pre-Merger Employees”).  The amount of additional capital to be contributed by THK to the Bonus Pool shall be an amount equal to five percent (5%) of the Earnout Payment (the “Bonus Pool Amount”), before taking into account deduction of the Bonus Pool Amount, it being understood and agreed that the amount of the Earnout Payment to be paid to the Shareholders through the issuance of THK Common Stock shall be decreased by an amount equal to the Bonus Pool Amount.  Distribution of the Bonus Pool among the Pre-Merger Employees shall be determined by Linden and Teeter, if and when the Bonus Pool Payments are made.  The obligations of THK under this Section shall survive the Closing.

4.             Amendment to Article VIII.  Article VIII, Earnout, is hereby amended and superseded by the following:

8.1           Earnout.  After the Closing Date, each Shareholder and Non-Party Shareholder shall be eligible to receive, on a pro rata basis determined by their percentage of the total number of outstanding shares of Litmus Common Stock shown on Schedule 2.6, a contingent consideration payment in the form of THK Common Stock (the “Earnout Payment”) if Consolidated EBITDA exceeds certain thresholds for the first three consecutive twelve month periods occurring after June 30, 2006 with the first twelve month period commencing on July 1, 2006 (each such twelve month period being a “Measurement Period” and together, the “Measurement Periods”).  Such Earnout Payment, if any, shall be made by THK to the Shareholders and Non-Party Shareholder in an amount based upon the Consolidated EBITDA target reached as set forth below, less five percent (5%) of which shall be the Bonus Pool Amount to be contributed in cash as set forth in Section 6.5.  The Earnout Payment shall be payable as follows:

(3)           If the Consolidated EBITDA is equal to or exceeds $22,100,000, then THK shall issue shares of THK Common Stock to the Shareholders and Non-Party Shareholder having a value for purposes of this Section 8.1(b)(3) equal to $4,989,578 (less the

For purposes of this Section 8.1(b), the value per share of THK’s common stock shall remain at $2.00 per share even though such shares may then be trading at a higher or lower price.

(c)           Third Measurement Period.  With respect to the third Measurement Period, which commences on July 1, 2008, the following Consolidated EBITDA thresholds and Earnout Payments are applicable:

(1)           If the Consolidated EBITDA is at least $15,200,000, but less than $20,700,000, then THK shall issue shares of THK Common Stock to the Shareholders and Non-Party Shareholder having a value for purposes of this Section 8.1(c)(1) equal to $2,363,505 (less the Bonus Pool Amount).  The number of shares to be issued will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $2,363,505 (less the Bonus Pool Amount) by the preset value per share of $2.00.

(2)           If the Consolidated EBITDA is at least $20,700,000, but less than $27,800,000, then THK shall issue shares of THK Common Stock to the Shareholders and Non-Party Shareholder having a value for purposes of this Section 8.1(c)(2) equal to $4,288,649 (less the Bonus Pool Amount).  The number of shares to be issued will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $4,288,649 (less the Bonus Pool Amount) by the preset value per share of $2.00.

(3)           If the Consolidated EBITDA is equal to or exceeds $27,800,000, then THK shall issue shares of THK Common Stock to the Shareholders and Non-Party Shareholder having a value for purposes of this Section 8.1(c)(3) equal to $6,276,482 (less the Bonus Pool Amount).  The number of shares to be issued will be equal to the quotient obtained by dividing $6,276,482 (less the Bonus Pool Amount) by the preset value per share of $2.00.

For purposes of this Section 8.1(c), the value per share of THK’s common stock shall remain at $2.00 per share even though such shares may then be trading at a higher or lower price.

8.2           Change of Subsidiaries.  If there is a proposed change to THK’s subsidiaries after the execution date of this Second Amendment, such as a proposed acquisition or disposition of a subsidiary by THK, and such change is expected to increase or decrease the projected amount of the Consolidated EBITDA for the then current Measurement Period by more than twenty percent (20%) of the mid-threshold amount of Consolidated EBITDA for such Mersurement Period, the Parties hereby agree to amend the Agreement to adjust the Earnout Payment provisions in a manner that will mitigate the effect of such expected change in Consolidated EBITDA on the amount of the Earnout Payment.  For this purpose, the mid-threshold amount of Consolidated EBITDA for the three Measurement Periods are as follows: First Measurement Period = $14,070,000; Second Measurement Period = $17,400,000; and Third Measurement Period = $20,700,000.

4




8.3           Payment. Any Earnout Payment payable to the Shareholders and Non-Party Shareholder under Section 8.1 hereof shall be paid no later than fifteen days after THK files with the Securities and Exchange Commission, its quarterly report on Form 10-Q or 10-QSB for the quarter in which the applicable Measurement Period ended.

8.4           No Fractional Shares.  Any fractional shares resulting from any of the calculations required by Section 8.1 above shall be rounded up to the nearest whole number.

8.5           Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Agreement, THK, in its sole discretion, shall be permitted to pay to the Shareholders and the Non-Party Shareholders any portion of the Earnout Payment that is required to be paid hereunder in cash in lieu of shares of THK Common Stock to the extent that such portion of the Stock Consideration would cause the total Stock Consideration to be paid by THK pursuant to this Agreement to exceed 20% of the shares of THK Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.  THK covenants and agrees that it will seek approval from its shareholders for the issuance of the Earnout Payment in THK Common Stock at the next annual or special meeting of its shareholders held after the execution of this Second Amendment.  The rights set forth in the first sentence of this Section 8.5 shall terminate if such shareholder approval is obtained.  However, if any portion of the Earnout Payment is required to be paid hereunder in cash, the amount of such cash payment shall be calculated by multiplying the number of shares of THK Common Stock in the Stock Consideration that would cause the total Stock Consideration to exceed 20% of the shares of THK Common Stock issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time by the average volume-weighted average price (“VWAP”) for the thirty (30) day period occurring immediately prior to the payment date for such cash payment.

8.6           If following the Closing but prior to the end of the third Measurement Period, there is a Change of Control of THK, then simultaneously with the closing of the transaction, THK shall pay to the Shareholders (a) the Earnout Payment described in Section 8.1 above for the then current Measurement Period based on the Consolidated EBITDA that would be attained at the end of such Measurement Period if the Consolidated EBITDA as of the closing of the transaction was annualized to the end of such Measurement Period, and (b) the Earnout Payment described in Section 8.1 above for all Measurement Periods, if any, that begin after the closing of the transaction based on the highest threshold of Consolidated EBITDA being attained for such Measurement Periods.

8.7           No Shareholder or Non-Party Shareholder shall have the right to demand payment of the Earnout Payment other than in accordance with this Article VIII.  In addition, no Shareholder or Non-Party Shareholder shall be entitled to pledge, borrow or otherwise obtain the benefits of the Earnout Payment until payment of the Earnout Payment is required to be paid by THK pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof.

5.             Construction.  In the event of any conflict by and between the Agreement and this Second Amendment, the terms of this Second Amendment shall control.  Except as amended by this Second Amendment, the terms of the Agreement are hereby ratified and affirmed in all respects.
