ON MOTION FOR REHEARING
PER CURIAM.
The judgment of the trial court was that “plaintiff is entitled to specific performance of the agreement entitling plaintiff to 10% of the capital stock issued or assigned to defendant in each of the corporations mentioned in Item 6 of the findings of fact,” and one of those corporations is “Nirvana Development Company, a Missouri Corporation” (hereafter referred to as “Nirvana”). It was developed by the testimony that Nirvana was engaged in activities in addition to projects that plaintiff worked on or helped develop. Plaintiff testified that he did not claim he was entitled to 10% of all the stock held by defendant in Nirvana. In the principal opinion we held that plaintiff was entitled to 10% interest in the stock of Nirvana that was proportionate to those “phases” of Nirvana pertaining to projects on which plaintiff worked, but we affirmed the judgment of the trial court. Defendant asks that the opinion be modified and the trial court be directed on remand, to limit plaintiff’s recovery as to Nirvana to that interest stated in the principal opinion. The trial court retained jurisdiction for the purpose of “causing an accounting to be made as to the number of shares of capital stock in each of the corporations * * * to which plaintiff is entitled * * We think it reasonable that on remand plaintiff’s interest would be determined according to the finding expressed in the principal opinion, but to prevent any doubt, the opinion is hereby amended to provide that the remand is with directions that the trial court determine plaintiiff’s interest in Nirvana to be 10% of defendant’s interest proportionate to those activities of Nirvana on which plaintiff worked or helped develop.
Defendant also asserts that we attributed certain testimony to him where it came from plaintiff. The opinion is modified to restate correctly the source of the testimony.
As modified the opinion is approved, and defendant’s motion for a rehearing or to transfer to the court en banc is overruled.
