The Purchaser, the Company and the Sellers are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “Party” and, collectively, as the “Parties”. Capitalized terms, unless otherwise defined, shall have the meanings ascribed to such terms in Article XII of the Agreement.
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, Article 11.9 of the Agreement states that the Parties may amend, supplement, or modify the Agreement only by execution of a written instrument signed by the Purchaser and the Company; and
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend Article 1 of the Agreement to add an earn out provision to the Cash Consideration;
WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend Article 8 of the Agreement to remove from closing conditions the payment of the Cash Consideration, the Purchaser’s offshore counsel opinion, and the Company’s employment agreements, and provide an extension for the Company to provide its offshore counsel opinion within fifteen (15) calendar days after the Closing Date.

1.2 Consideration. At the Closing and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in full payment for the Purchased Shares, the Purchaser shall issue and deliver to the Sellers an aggregate of 1,989,262 Purchaser Shares (the “Exchange Shares”).
