An “Earn Out Amount” shall be calculated in accordance with the following table:
(1) | No earn-out shall be paid if the Gross Profit in the applicable fiscal year is less than $11,250,000; thereafter, the Earn-Out Amount shall be calculated as follows: |
(2) | 11.33% of the Gross Profit in the applicable fiscal year of any dollar amount within the next $11,249,000 of Gross Profit above $11,251,000 in Gross Profit; plus |
(3) | an additional 3% of Gross Profit in the applicable fiscal year of any dollar amount within the next $8,999,000 of Gross Profit above $22,501,000 in Gross Profit; plus |

On a quarterly and annual basis, after Acquiror reports its Gross Profit in its SEC filings, Acquiror and Stockholder shall reconcile the Earn-Out Amount made in advance pursuant to this Section 2.5. To the extent the advance Earn-Out Amount do not equal the amount of actually earned for any quarter or fiscal year, as determined on the basis of the Acquiror’s SEC filings for such fiscal period, (i) Acquiror shall recover any overpayment from Stockholder as an offset against future payments of Earn-Out Amount; and (ii) Acquiror shall promptly pay any underpayment to Stockholder.
2. Section 7.1(b)(i) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the phrase “June 30, 2007” and replacing it with “December 31, 2007”.
