ARTICLE 2

AMENDMENTS TO ACQUISITION AGREEMENT

2.1 Section 2.2 of the Acquisition Agreement is deleted and replaced in its entirety by the following new Section 2.2:

Renewal Term. Unless either Party provides written notice delivered no later than nine (9) months prior to expiration of the Initial Term (September 30, 2012) requesting termination at expiration of the Initial Term, and absent an Event of Default or Additional


Termination Event that results in an Early Termination Date, this Agreement shall automatically renew upon expiration of the Initial Term and continue in full force and effect thereafter for a period of nine (9) months (such period from the expiration of the Initial Term, a “Renewal Term”). This Agreement shall automatically renew for nine (9) month terms at the conclusion of the first Renewal Term (each such nine (9) month term a Renewal Term); provided, however, that at any time after September 30, 2012 and during any Renewal Term either Party may terminate this Agreement pursuant to a written notice delivered to the other Party no less than nine (9) months prior to the Termination Date designated in such notice, but if an earlier Early Termination Date applies, then this Agreement shall terminate on such Early Termination Date. Notwithstanding termination pursuant to this Section 2.2 the Parties shall perform their obligations relating to termination pursuant to Section 11.”

2.2 The Acquisition Agreement is amended by deleting, in their entirety:

(i) Sections 4.4, 8.3 and 9.1(ii) (and renumbering remaining sub-sections as appropriate); and

(ii) Schedule 10.

2.3 Section 8.1 of the Acquisition Agreement is amended by adding the following before the last sentence:
