agreements set forth in the Supply Agreement dated as of even date herewith

has been terminated by JPS in accordance with the terms of the Supply Agreement
as the result of the default of Versadial thereunder, at JPS’ sole discretion,
Sea Change agrees to assume the Supply Agreement, and JPS, following such
assumption, shall continue to perform its obligations under the Supply Agreement
for the benefit of Sea Change. Notwithstanding any such assumption by Sea
