In consideration of the mutual agreements set forth herein and to facilitate the consummation of the transactions contemplated by the APA, the parties hereto agree as follows: 1. The parties have agreed that Inmark Services, Inc.

Prior to the Closing, all of the Shareholders have transferred their shares of Seller to individual electing small business trusts ("Trusts", as to each Trust for a particular Shareholder, a "Shareholder Trust"). Each Shareholder and each Shareholder Trust agrees that such Shareholder shall remain liable and his or her Shareholder Trust shall be jointly and severally liable for all of such Shareholder's obligations, respectively, to Inmark and Purchaser under the APA, including without limitation the indemnification obligations thereunder, to the extent that such Shareholder is liable for said obligations under the APA and as limited by the indemnification provisions of the APA. In consideration of the foregoing, Inmark and Purchaser agree to such transfers. 3. The $8,825,000 cash portion of the Purchase Price payable to Seller at the Closing shall be reduced to $8,700,000 and the aggregate Purchase Price shall be reduced by $125,000 to reflect certain bonuses paid by Seller to employees of Seller in December 1997 as contemplated by the terms of the APA. 4. The Seller shall be permitted to retain a total of $100,000 of its cash or cash equivalents at the Closing. All other cash and cash equivalents of Seller shall be transferred by Seller to Purchaser at the Closing. 5. All of the capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein shall have the meanings given to them by the APA. <PAGE> 6.
