The parties to the Merger Agreement have agreed to further amend the terms, conditions, and provisions of the Merger Agreement as more fully set forth and described below. Therefore, the undersigned hereby agree that Merger Agreement is hereby amended as follows:

Section 6.1(d) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the text of Section 6.1(d) in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

“(d) the waiting period applicable to the consummation of the Merger under the HSR Act shall have expired or been terminated, and there shall not be in effect any voluntary agreement between Parent, Buyer, Acquisition Corporation or the Company and the Federal Trade Commission pursuant to which such party has agreed not to consummate the Merger for any period of time; provided, that neither Parent, Buyer or Acquisition Corporation, on the one hand, nor the Company, on the other hand, shall enter into any such voluntary agreement without the written consent of the other party.”

Section 9.1(b) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the text of Section 9.1(b) in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

“(b) by Buyer or the Company if the Merger shall not have been consummated by 11:59 p.m., Eastern Time, on December 31, 2014 (the “End Date”); provided, however, that the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall not be available to a party whose failure to perform any material obligation required to be performed by such party in breach of this Agreement has been a cause of, or results in, the failure of the Merger to be consummated by the End Date;”


Section 12.8 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended by deleting the last sentence of Section 12.8 in its entirety and inserting the following in lieu thereof:

“This Agreement may not be amended except by a written agreement executed by Buyer, the Company and Stockholders’ Representative.”

This letter amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which, when taken together, shall be deemed one and the same instrument.
