The Stock Purchase Agreement is hereby amended to delete in their entirety the definitions of the terms “Estimated Purchase Price” and “Minimum Net Working Capital” in Article 1 (Definitions) of the Stock Purchase Agreement and to substitute the following in their respective places as the new definitions of the terms “Estimated Purchase Price” and “Minimum Net Working Capital:”

“Estimated Purchase Price” means Fifty-Eight Million Three Hundred Fifty Thousand and no/100 Dollars ($58,850,000.00) minus the Target’s Long-Term Debt as of the Closing Date, as evidenced by letters in form reasonably acceptable to Buyer delivered to Buyer by the holders of such Long-Term Debt at least five Business Days before the Closing Date.

Counterparts; Facsimile Execution. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same Amendment. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Amendment by telefacsimile or electronic mail (including without limitation as a PDF file) shall be equally as effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.
