WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and Parent Holdco have previously entered into the Agreement pursuant to which, among other things, Merger Sub will merge with and into the Company, with the Company surviving as a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent; and

 

WHEREAS, Parent, Merger Sub, the Company and Parent Holdco desire to amend the Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the representations, warranties, covenants and agreements set forth in this Amendment, and other good and valuable consideration, the adequacy and receipt of which hereby are acknowledged, the parties hereby agree as follows:

 

Section 1.1       All capitalized terms used herein shall have the meanings set forth in the Agreement, unless the context indicates otherwise.

 

Section 1.2       In the event that the Closing Date is August 5, 2013, the Per Share Merger Consideration shall be $41.9318156681191 and the payments required to be made at the Closing pursuant to Section 2.12(c) and Section 2.14 (as amended hereby) are as reflected in the final funds flow memorandum agreed to by the parties on the date hereof. It is understood and agreed that in the event that the Closing Date is after August 5, 2013, the Per Share Merger Consideration and the payments required to be made at the Closing under the Agreement (including the amount of the Performance Option Payment as set forth in Section 1.3 below) shall be re-calculated in accordance with the terms of the Agreement.

 

Section 1.3       Section 2.14(b) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:

 

(b)     Options/Restricted Shares. To the Company, by wire transfer of immediately available funds to the account or accounts designated in writing by the Company no later than two (2) Business Days prior to the Closing Date, (i) the aggregate amount to which the holders of Options and Restricted Shares are entitled as provided in Section 2.08 and (ii) $48,477,768.28 in order to fully satisfy the Performance Option Payment.

Section 1.4       This Amendment and the Agreement (including all, Schedules and Exhibits thereto and the Sponsors Agreement) contain the entire agreement among the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, oral or written, with respect to such matters.

 

Section 1.5       This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Delaware or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Delaware.

 

Section 1.6       This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which shall constitute one and the same agreement, and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party.  Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page to this Amendment by facsimile, email in “portable document format” (“.pdf”) form, or by other electronic means intended to preserve the original graphic and pictorial appearance of a document, will have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signature.
