4. The Vendor and Purchaser agree that immediately following the registration

6. The Vendor and Purchaser agree that a portion of the Purchase Price equal
to One Million, One Hundred and Ninety Thousand Dollars ($1,190,000) shall

Holdback Amount shall be paid by the Purchaser to the Vendor if and when

otherwise in form and content satisfactory to the Purchaser in its
sole discretion;
(c) a letter of credit in the principal amount of the Holdback Amount
issued by a Canadian branch of ABN AMBRO Bank N.V., or other
Schedule 1 Canadian chartered bank, on behalf of the Indemnifier in
favour of the Purchaser in form and content satisfactory to the
Purchaser in its sole discretion (the "L/C");
(d) an amendment to the Amram's Lease to reflect the giving of the
Indemnity by the Indemnifier in form and content satisfactory to the
Purchaser in its sole discretion;
(e) a letter of credit agreement governing the holding of L/C by the
Purchaser in form and content satisfactory to the Purchaser; and
(f) any other documents required in connection with the implementation
of the foregoing including, without limitation, any documents
required by the Purchaser's lender.
In the event all of the foregoing documents and instruments are not
delivered to the Purchaser by 5:00 p.m. on January 31, 2006, the Purchase
Price under the Agreement shall be deemed to be reduced by the Holdback
Amount to compensate the Purchaser for the reduced value of the Property
and the Vendor shall have no claim or entitlement to the Holdback Amount
in such circumstances and releases the Purchaser from all action, causes
of action, claims, damages and expenses relating thereto.
7. Insofar as the Indemnity is concerned, the Vendor and Purchaser agree that
it shall include the following terms:
(a) all claims under the Indemnity shall be limited to a maximum of
$1,190,000 and there shall be no resort to the Indemnifier
personally or to any of its assets, the Purchaser's recourse being
limited to the L/C;
(b) in the event during the Term the Vendor achieves net operating
income equal to or in excess of $3,500,000 for two consecutive
fiscal years, as evidenced by annual consolidating financial
statements, (as such statements are included in the consolidated
financial statements filed with the Securities & Exchange Commission
of the United States of America by the Vendor's parent company, Xxxx
Xxxxxx and Company, Inc.), the amount of the L/C shall be reduced by
$720,000 and the Purchaser agrees to accept a replacement letter of
credit in such reduced amount; and
(c) on the expiration of the seventh year of the original term of the
Amram's Lease, the L/C will be reduced by the amount of $13,055 on a
monthly basis until the end of the original term thereof.

agreement is confirmed, ratified and acknowledged to be in full force and

also acknowledge and agree that the terms of paragraphs 6 and 7 of this
amending agreement shall survive Closing.

reasonable request of the other, execute and deliver, make or cause to be
made all such further acts, deeds, assurances and things as may be
required or necessary to more effectively implement and carry out the true
