     WHEREAS, the parties now desire to amend the Stock Purchase Agreement in accordance with the terms set forth below.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which hereby are acknowledged conclusively, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
1.   Certain Definitions. Terms defined in the Stock Purchase Agreement and not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Stock Purchase Agreement.
 
2.   Amendments to the Stock Purchase Agreement. Seller and Buyer hereby agree that, effective as of the date hereof, the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby amended as follows:
  2.1   Amendment of Section 6.3(d). Section 6.3(d) of the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
  (d)   by Buyer, by giving written notice to Seller, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before October 15, 2008 by reason of the failure of any condition precedent contained in Section 6.1 (unless the failure results primarily form a breach by Buyer of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Buyer contained in this Agreement); and
  2.2   Amendment of Section 6.3(e). Section 6.3(e) of the Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby deleted and replaced in its entirety with the following:
  (e)   by Seller, by giving written notice to Buyer, if the Closing shall not have occurred on or before October 15, 2008 by reason of the failure of any condition precedent contained in Section 6.1(h) or Section 6.2 (unless the failure results primarily form a breach by

 


 

      Seller of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement of Seller contained in this Agreement).
3.   Acknowledgements. Seller and Buyer hereby expressly agree and acknowledge, effective as of the date hereof, as follows:
  3.1   Continuation of Delay Premiums. As of July 10, 2008, the last date on which delay premiums were calculated, pursuant to Section 2.3 of the Stock Purchase Agreement, Buyer has accrued Delay Premium payments in the aggregate amount of [One Hundred Sixteen Thousand One Hundred Twenty Nine Dollars and 03/100’s ($116,129.03)] for each of the full two (2) calendar months of May and June and the partial calendar month of July in connection with the delay of the Closing beyond April 30, 2008. The Delay Premiums shall continue to accrue according to the terms of Section 2.3 of the Stock Purchase Agreement up to the date of the Closing. In the event the Stock Purchase Agreement is terminated by Buyer prior to Closing, Buyer hereby agrees that in addition to any amounts due Seller pursuant to Section 6.3(d), it shall pay to Seller all Delay Premium amounts which have accrued from and after April 30, 2008.
 
  3.2   Treasury Listing Immaterial. The Company is no longer qualified and listed by the United States Department of Treasury as an authorized “T-Listed” company.
