NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto  hereby agree as follows:

a)   Consent to SPA Amendment.  Universal Gold hereby consents to the proposed SPA Amendment.
 
b)   Amendment of Option. All references to the SPA (and any provisions thereof) in the Agreement shall be deemed to be references to the SPA as amended by the SPA Amendment.

d)   Miscellaneous.  Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  This Amendment shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of laws principles.  Headings used herein are for convenience only and shall not in any way affect the construction of, or be taken into consideration in interpreting, this Amendment. Any provision of this Amendment which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.  No amendment, modification, waiver, termination or discharge of any provision of this Amendment shall in any event be effective unless the same shall be in writing and signed by the parties hereto.  This Amendment shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns; provided, that Acquisition Corp. may not assign any of its rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Universal Gold.
