As of May 27, 1999, the last free trading stock was reported as being traded for the price of 27/8 at 2:02 p.m. on the NASDAQ OTCBB.
R3. The Corporation has determined that it is in its best interests to redeem the 25,000 shares of restricted stock of Gunther Than pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
Now therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein, the parties agree as follows:

After receipt by the transfer agent of the stock certificate being redeemed, the Corporation shall issue a check to Gunther Than in the amount of $50,000.
3. Option to Purchase Back Shares.

4. Representations and Warranties.
