Reference is made to that certain agreement between the parties made effective as of October 29, 1996 (“Agreement”), which was subsequently amended by the First Amendment, dated March 12, 2001, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties have agreed to amend the Agreement as follows (“Second Amendment”).
   
1.       The parties hereby agree to amend paragraph 4 entitled “Compensation” to add the following subparagraph (e):

For the purpose of this subsection, “Licensed Products Net Receipts” shall mean the gross amount received by Titan from the licensing, publication, sublicensing, and/or assignment of Ringside Tales less any and all out of pocket expenses or commissions, and any photography, illustration and/or writer fees (which shall exclude photography, illustration and/or writer fees) incurred by Titan or its licensing agents in connection with the publishing of Ringside Tales.”
