In the event the Company shall issue any more shares of its common stock prior to the Closing Date for this Agreement, the number of HNS Shares will not be increased but shall be reallocated based on the percentage of NBG Shares held by the Stockholders of the Company as of the Closing Date. In addition all Stockholders subsequent to the date hereof shall become signatories to this Agreement or otherwise provide their written consent to the terms of this Agreement. 1 1.2 Delivery of Shares. On the Closing Date, the Stockholders will deliver to HNS the certificates representing the NBG Shares, duly endorsed (or with executed stock powers) so as to make HNS the sole owner thereof. HNS shall deliver to the Stockholders 4,497,697 shares of HNS' common stock, representing approximately 80% of HNS' common stock to be outstanding at the Closing Date on a fully-diluted basis.

Each certificate representing the HNS Shares will have a legend thereon incorporating language as follows: "The shares represented by this certificate have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"). The shares have been acquired for investment and may not be sold or transferred in the absence of an effective Registration Statement for the shares under the Act unless in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company, registration is not required under the Act." 1.5 Sale of HNS Assets.
