Re:
Closing Net Working Capital Amount for purposes of the Stock Purchase Agreement, dated July 15, 2011 (the “Purchase Agreement”), by and among Perma-Fix Environmental Services, Inc. (“PESI”), Homeland Security Capital Corporation (“Parent”), and Safety & Ecology Holdings Corporation (the “Company”)

Gentlemen:
 
With reference to Sections 1.4 and 1.5 of the Purchase Agreement, attached to this letter are the following:
 
 
·
Estimated Closing Balance Sheet and the calculations of the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, as Exhibit A; and
 
 
·
Closing Statement and the calculations of the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, as Exhibit B.
 
Unless otherwise defined in this letter, the capitalized terms in this letter shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Purchase Agreement.
 
Section 1.5(a) provides that PESI shall prepare and deliver to Parent a Closing Statement reflecting the Net Working Capital Amount of the Company as of the Closing, or the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, within 75 days after the Closing.  Section 1.5(b) provides that Parent may dispute the Closing Net Working Capital Amount and the Closing Statement within 45 days after Parent’s receipt of the Closing Statement.  The Closing Statement has already been prepared and been delivered and the parties have therefore agreed to review and finalize the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, as reflected on the Closing Statement, contemporaneously with the Closing.

Based on the Estimated Net Working Capital Amount, as reflected on Exhibit A, and the Closing Net Working Capital Amount, as reflected on Exhibit B, the parties hereby agree that there is Final Net Working Capital Deficiency in the amount of $5,038,023, which amount shall be deducted at Closing from the Initial Cash Consideration payable by PESI to the Company, resulting in a reduction to the Purchase Price in the same amount (the “Purchase Price Adjustment”)
 
The parties further agree that the Purchase Price Adjustment pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.5 of the Purchase Agreement shall constitute the full and final settlement of any and all claims giving rise or related to such Purchase Price Adjustment pursuant to Sections 1.4 and 1.5, and after the Closing  neither PESI,  the Parent nor the Company shall  assert  or claim any further adjustments to the Purchase Price pursuant to Sections 1.4  or 1.5 of the Purchase Agreement.  The parties hereto agree that all of the assets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, whether or not subject to the Purchase Price Adjustment as provided in Sections 1.4 or 1.5 and as set forth in Exhibits A and B attached hereto, shall be and shall remain the assets of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries for all purposes and on or after the Closing neither the Parent nor any of the Parent subsidiaries shall have any rights, title or interest in and to such assets.
