      Re:           Asset

(“Premier”),

Amendment of the Agreement

      

      Ladies
and Gentlemen:

      

      This
letter agreement documents the supplemental agreements to and amendment of the
Agreement with respect to the matters set forth herein.  Capitalized
terms used herein and not otherwise defined shall have the meanings assigned to
them in the Agreement.

      

      1.           Earned
Time-Off.  Pursuant to Section 5.4 of the Agreement, the
parties agree that, except for the “Earned Time Off” costs set forth and more
particularly described on Schedule 5.4 to the
Agreement, which costs, in the aggregate, will not exceed the total amount set
forth on Schedule
5.4 (i.e., $40,213), all employer responsibilities, costs and
liabilities, including those under any severance agreements or arrangements, for
any employees of the Sellers, including those terminated prior to, on or after
the Closing Date shall be and remain the exclusive responsibility, cost and
liability of the Sellers.  Subsequent to the date of the Agreement,
Parent and the Sellers informed Premier and the Purchaser that the aggregate
Earned Time Off amount is $45,154.93, for an aggregate excess amount of
$4,941.93 (the “Excess
Amount”).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Premier and Purchaser
agree to pay to the Continuing Employees each such Continuing Employee’s portion
of the Excess Amount in accordance with the Schedule A attached
hereto.

      

      2.           Additional
Contracts.  Pursuant to Section 3.10 of the Agreement, Schedule 3.10 is to
set forth, among other things, a list of Assumed
Contracts.  Subsequent to the date of the Agreement, Parent and
Sellers informed Premier and the Purchaser that certain additional Contracts
necessary for the conduct of the Business should be included as Assumed
Contracts, which  Contracts are set forth on Schedule B attached
hereto (the “Additional Assumed
Contracts”).  By execution hereof, the parties hereto agree
that Schedule
3.10 is hereby amended, without any further action by the parties, to
include the Additional Assumed Contracts.

      

      3.           Lease
Matters.  Parent and the Sellers have paid the rent due under
the Real Property Leases owed for the month of March 2009, in the aggregate
amount of $42,786.71 (the “March Rental
Amounts”).  Promptly following the Closing, the Purchaser shall
repay Parent the March Rental Amounts less the Excess
Amount, such that the net amount the Purchasers shall pay to Parent under this
letter shall equal $37,844.78.

        4.           Insurance.   Pursuant
to Section 5.3 of the Agreement, the Purchaser has requested, and the Sellers
and Parent have agreed, that the Sellers and Parent shall take all commercially
reasonable actions necessary to maintain the benefits (whether direct or
indirect) of the insurance policies maintained by or on behalf of the Sellers in
favor of the Continuing Employees during the period from February 28, 2009 until
the date on which all such Continuing Employees are covered by insurance
policies maintained by or on behalf of the Purchaser or Premier (the “Maintenance
Period”).  Promptly following the Maintenance Period, Parent
shall provide Premier an accounting of any costs incurred by Parent and Sellers
associated with maintaining such insurance policies during the Maintenance
Period and Premier shall reimburse Parent for such costs.

        
           

        

        Except as
specifically set forth herein, the terms of the Agreement shall not otherwise be
modified, changed or amended, and the Agreement shall otherwise remain in full
force and effect in accordance with its terms.  This letter agreement
is limited as written and shall not be deemed to be a consent or waiver of any
other term or condition of the Agreement.  This letter agreement may
be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all
of which together shall be deemed one and the same
agreement.
