WHEREAS, the Parties now desire to amend each of Section 2.2 (Subsequent Closings) and Section 2.3 (Stock and Purchase Price Deliveries) of the Purchase Agreement; and

 

WHEREAS, any term not otherwise defined herein shall have the meaning set forth in the Purchase Agreement.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing recitals and the mutual promises hereinafter set forth, the Parties agree as follows:

 

1. Amendment to Section 2.2 and Section 2.3. The Parties hereby agree to amend and replace each of Section 2.2 and Section 2.3, respectively, of the Purchase Agreement in its entirety as follows:

4. No Further Changes. Except as expressly amended hereby in this Amendment, the Purchase Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

 

5. Counterparts. This Amendment may be delivered by means of electronic communication, including electronic mail in “portable document format” (e.g., “.pdf”), and may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one instrument, which shall have the same effect as physical delivery of the paper document bearing the original signatures.
