Agreement and the Amendments are hereby confirmed and ratified. Notwithstanding
anything to the contrary contained in the Agreement and Amendments, the

confirm the following, by signing where indicated below:

MSH.
2. Buyer further hereby authorizes Xxxxx Xxxxxx Ortoli Xxxxx Xxxxx &
Xxx to release to Seller the $300,000 that is currently held in escrow, such
amount to be deemed a partial payment of the purchase price pursuant to the

the remainder of the purchase price as described below. Buyer agrees that,
notwithstanding the Closing, Buyer shall be deemed the beneficial owner of that

required by the Agreement and this Agreement have been made and delivered, Buyer

further acknowledge and agree that references to the Purchased Shares shall be
deemed references to the shares of the surviving corporation referred to in such
merger documents, and Seller and Buyer shall have the same interests in such
shares of the surviving corporation as they each have in the Purchased Shares
referred to in the Agreement, the Amendments and the documents being executed
and/or delivered pursuant thereto.
