5. If the parties thereafter agree on the Purchase Price, the
appropriate party shall within five (5) calendar days after such
agreement make the Adjustment Payment by wire transfer. If the

of the Adjustment Payment, then the claiming party shall, within
thirty (30) calendar days after receipt thereof, notify the other
party in writing of such fact.

right to claim an adjustment to the Purchase Price to the
extent that the inventory value as shown in the Inventory
Accounts or corrected Inventory Accounts differs in excess of
FIM 500,000 from the amount of the inventory in the interim
accounts of the Company as of June 30, 1997. The adjustment,
if any, shall be on mark for mark basis for the part in excess
of FIM 500,000.
