        of
        the Letter Agreement, and its amendment, between USE/CC and Kobex. However,
        as
        previously disclosed, the parties agreed that at the end of the due diligence
        period, they would use their best efforts to negotiate and sign a formal
        agreement. The final agreement replaces the amended Letter Agreement.
