1. Purchase Price Adjustment. The parties agree that the Closing Net Assets Statement, the Closing Working Capital Statement and the Closing Cash Statement set forth on Exhibit A hereto shall each be conclusive and binding upon the parties for purposes of the Agreement. The parties further agree that, in satisfaction of the obligations of Purchaser under Section 2.5(d), (i) Purchaser shall pay Seller three million seven hundred and ninety-six thousand dollars ($3,796,000) on or before February 17, 2006 (and, notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.5(d), without any interest thereon), and (ii) all amounts in the Escrow Account shall be released to Purchaser.

In that case, this Second Amendment will be construed so as to limit any term or provision so as to make it enforceable or valid within the requirements of any applicable law, and in the event such term or provision cannot be limited, this Second Amendment will be construed to omit such invalid or unenforceable provisions. The Agreement, as amended by the Amendment and this Second Amendment and by that certain side letter between Comverse and CSG with respect to the allocation of the Purchase Price, sets forth the entire understanding of the parties thereto with respect to all matters contemplated thereby and hereby and supersedes all previous agreements and understandings among them concerning such matters. No statements or agreements, oral or written, made prior to or at the signing hereof, shall vary, waive or modify the written terms hereof.
