$1,277,734, which is the aggregate outstanding amount owed to Vision and Texas MGA as of December 31, 2004 pursuant to the MSC Agreement and the American Safety Agreement (the “Existing A/R”). At Closing, Buyer shall withhold such

holdback and pay any remainder of such holdback to John Russell within three Business Days after the uncollected amount is determined; or 
  
 (ii) if John Russell delivered the Existing A/R LOC, John Russell shall pay to Buyer in cash any such uncollected amount within three
Business Days after the uncollected amount is determined or, if John Russell does not make such payment, Buyer shall be entitled to draw such amount under the Existing A/R LOC.

LOC. Buyer shall either retain the Closing Date holdback, or the Future Claims LOC shall remain in effect for the benefit of Buyer, through the completion in
2008 of the annual procedure described below; provided, however, that if John Russell desires that any Future Claims LOC have a one-year term, Buyer shall be entitled to draw the full amount under the Future Claims LOC if a replacement letter of

Closing Date holdback described in Section 2.4(b)(ii) above, or the amount of the Future Claims LOC if one was delivered to Buyer, may be reduced by the amount of the MSC and American Safety Reimbursements received in 2005 and 2006, respectively. In
2008, once the amount of MSC and American Safety Claims and MSC and American Safety Reimbursements for 2007 have been determined, if the aggregate MSC and American Safety Claims (not including any such claims relating to MSC and American Safety that
are then less than ninety days old, unless Buyer has a reasonable basis for believing that such claims are uncollectible) exceeds the aggregate MSC and American Safety Reimbursements, either: 
  
 (i) if John Russell never delivered the Future Claims LOC,
then Buyer shall retain any such excess from the Closing Date holdback and pay any remainder of such holdback to John Russell within three Business Days after the uncollected amount is determined; or 
  
 (ii) if John Russell delivered the Future Claims LOC, John
Russell shall pay to Buyer in cash any such excess within three Business Days after the uncollected amount is determined or, if John Russell does not make such payment, Buyer shall be entitled to draw such amount under the Future Claims LOC.”
