D-56564 Neuwied

registered in the Commercial Register of the Commercial Court of Neuwied under

- hereinafter referred to as "COMPANY" -,

with a share capital of EUR 60,000 (in words: Euro sixty thousand).

II.

1. Under a share purchase agreement dated December 19, 2003 (notarial deed No. 976/2003 of the Notary Prof. Dr. Peter Sauberlich in Frankfurt am Main) (the "AGREEMENT"), Seller has obligated itself to transfer and assign all of its shares in the Company in the aggregate nominal amount of EUR 60,000 (in words: Euro sixty thousand) to Purchaser (the "SHARES").

In fulfillment of this Agreement, Seller herewith assigns the Shares to Purchaser; the assignment takes place with immediate effect together with all rights and obligations.

Purchaser herewith accepts the assignment of the Shares by Seller; it assumes the rights and obligations connected with the Shares.

The Base Purchase Price as defined by the Agreement to be made amounts to EUR 625,000.

A copy of the resolutions on the dividend distribution dated December 19, 2003 and January 23, 2004 are attached to this deed as EXHIBIT 1.

2. Supplementing the Agreement, the Seller and Purchaser now agree as follows:

As soon as practicable after the closing of this transaction, Purchaser will cause the Company to prepare a balance sheet as of January 31, 2004 in accordance with German generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, and in accordance with past practice. No later than twenty-one (21) days after January 31, 2004, Purchaser shall deliver the same to the Seller. The provisions of Sections 3.4.2 and 3.5 of the Agreement shall apply in the event the Seller disagrees with any item thereon (for purposes of clarity, if the Seller does not deliver a notice to Purchaser within thirty (30) days of the Seller

receiving such balance sheet from Purchaser, Seller shall be deemed to have agreed and accepted the balance sheet as delivered by Purchaser).

On the basis of this balance sheet, Purchaser shall pay to Seller by way of an adjustment of the Base Purchase Price as defined by the Agreement an additional amount equal to the lesser of (i) the amount (if any) of net profits of the Company for the month of January 2004, which such amount may not be less than EUR 0, or (ii) the amount (if any) by which the net worth of the Company as of January 31, 2004 (i.e. the difference between the book value of the assets of the Company and the book value of the liabilities of the Company as at the close of business of January 31, 2004 determined on the basis of the balance sheet as of January 31, 2004 as agreed or determined as set forth above) exceeds EUR 175,000, which such amount may not be less than EUR 0, or (iii) EUR 30,000.

III.

The deponents stated that the Company does not own real property.

The deponents jointly declared the value of this transaction to be EUR 925,000.

The Notary shall inform the Company about the transfer of shares in accordance with Section 16 GmbHG.

The cost of this notarial deed shall be borne by Purchaser.

The notary public pointed out to the deponents

- that Purchaser as purchaser of the shares assumes unlimited liability for cash contributions to the share capital not yet effected, if any, as well as for any shortfalls in the value of capital contributions in kind, if any, as well as for any repayments of such capital;

- that an assignment of shares in a German limited liability company will not be effective unless the assignor is indeed the lawful owner of the shares (and has not disposed thereof on previous occasions or never legally acquired such shares) and that there is no bona fide acquisition of shares under German law;

- that in the case of assignment of shares in a German limited liability company, only that person whose acquisition has been notified to the company by furnishing evidence of the assignment will be recognized by the company as assignee;

- that Purchaser and Seller will be jointly and severally liable for any notarial fees arising in connection with this notarial deed irrespective of whatsoever internal agreement has been made between the parties in this respect.

The minutes were read to the deponents, approved and signed by them in their own hands, in the presence of the notary public and by the notary public, as follows:
