PURCHASE PRICE ADJUSTMENT. Each of the undersigned parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably agrees to the adjustments to the Purchase Price set forth on the adjustment sheet attached as EXHIBIT A hereto (the "ADJUSTMENT SHEET").

Seller hereby agrees to pay the full amount of the Purchase Price Adjustment to Buyer within five business days of the date of this Agreement. 2. NO FURTHER ADJUSTMENTS. The adjustments reflected on the Adjustment Sheet represent a negotiated settlement and constitute the parties' final agreement concerning the adjustments to the Purchase Price contemplated by Section 3.3 of the Asset Purchase Agreement. Each of the undersigned parties hereby irrevocably waives any right it has, or may have at, law or in equity, to require any further adjustment to the Purchase Price; provided, however, that except as set forth in Section 3 hereof, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to impair or affect the right of any party to make a claim for indemnification under the applicable provisions of the Asset Purchase Agreement. 3. INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS UNAFFECTED. None of the adjustments reflected on the Adjustment Sheet shall be deemed to constitute a breach or violation of any of the representations or warranties of Seller and/or the 2 Shareholders set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. Accordingly, none of such adjustments shall be deemed to constitute a Loss for purposes of the indemnification obligations of Seller and/or the Shareholders set forth in Article X of the Asset Purchase Agreement; nor shall any such adjustments be included in the calculation of Losses for purposes of Section 10.5 of the Asset Purchase Agreement. To the extent that the Adjustment Sheet refers to any specific adjustments that are being split or apportioned among the parties, each of the undersigned parties to this Agreement hereby irrevocably agrees that the total amount of any such adjustments (and not just the amount reflected on the Adjustment Sheet) shall not be deemed to constitute a Loss for purposes of the indemnification obligations of Seller and/or the Shareholders set forth in Article X of the Asset Purchase Agreement; nor shall the total amount of any such adjustments be included in the calculation of Losses for purposes of Section 10.5 of the Asset Purchase Agreement. 4.
