C. Section 11.8 of the Agreement provides that any term of the Agreement may be amended with the written consent of (a) the Company, (b) the holders of fifty-one percent (51%) of the Capital Holdings of all Existing Stockholders who were stockholders of the Company prior to December 17, 1999, (c) the holders of fifty-one percent (51%) of the Capital Holdings of all Existing Stockholders who were stockholders of Flower Farm Direct, Inc., a Florida corporation, immediately prior December 17, 1999 and (d) the holders of a majority of the Company’s Series B Preferred Stock.

The New Stockholder shall be deemed to have entered into and become a party to the Agreement and shall be deemed a “Stockholder” for all purposes under the Agreement.

 

2. AMENDMENT TO AGREEMENT.

 

Subsection (d) under the definition of the terms “Transfer” or “Transferred” in Section 1 of the Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

. . .

 

(d) any transfers of Equity by gift or for no consideration during a Stockholder’s lifetime or on a Stockholder’s death by will or intestacy, provided that the Company gives its consent prior to such transfer and each transferee or other recipient executes a counterpart copy of this Agreement and becomes bound thereby as a Stockholder;”


3. EFFECT OF AMENDMENT.

 

Except as amended and set forth above, the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

 

4. COUNTERPARTS.

6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT.

 

This Amendment, together with the Agreement, constitutes the full and entire understanding and agreement between the parties with regard to the subjects hereof and thereof.

 

6. GOVERNING LAW.
