1.

 All capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meaning given to them in the Asset Purchase Agreement, unless otherwise defined herein; provided, however, Net Working Capital shall be defined as the sum of cash available at closing as determined by the closing agent adjusted to include the amount equal to the 2008 real estate taxes deducted at closing, accounts receivable (and all other obligations of customers with respect to the sale of goods or services or amounts due under any invoice or contract) plus the value of the Inventory, less the trade accounts payable of Old Stencor existing on the Closing Date as adjusted for the Solvay Advance Polymers invoice as described in 2. below.


2.

On the Closing Date, all Net Working Capital of Old Stencor shall be transferred to Buyer and, accordingly, Buyer shall assume and agrees to discharge the trade accounts payable of Old Stencor existing on the Closing Date specifically excluding legal bills and any seller agrees to pay one-half of the Solvay Advance Polymers invoice 90744312 in the amount of $72,235.93 and buyer will assume $36,117.97 of this amount, provided that such total does not exceed $945,000.
