Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, any consent or writing of Buyer required prior to the Closing, whether or not expressly contemplated by this Agreement, relating to the ongoing business operations of the Business, shall be deemed granted, executed, and delivered by Buyer upon Seller’s delivery to Buyer of a written notice concerning the matters otherwise requiring such consent of Buyer.”
(d) Section 5.5 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
“Consents. Seller shall (and shall cause the Acquired Companies to) use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and, subject to Section 5.4, Buyer shall cooperate with such efforts to obtain, prior to the Closing all consents, waivers, approvals and notices from third Persons (other than Governmental Entities) that are required to consummate the Transactions, if any (the “Consents”). Executed counterparts of all Consents shall be delivered to Buyer promptly after receipt thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
in connection with obtaining any Consent, neither Party nor any of its respective affiliates shall be required to (a) pay or agree to pay any amounts or other consideration; (b) agree to the imposition of any material limitation or obligation on its business or operations, or to sell, hold, divest, discontinue or otherwise limit any assets or businesses of such Party; (c) provide or agree to provide any additional security (including a guaranty); or (d) agree to any modifications of existing Contracts or the entry into any new Contracts (other than assignments or novations of existing Contracts which do not adversely affect Buyer’s rights and obligations under such Contracts).”
(e) Section 5.6(a) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
“During the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms and the Closing, (i) subject to Section 5.4, Seller shall afford (and shall cause the Acquired Companies to afford), at Buyer’s sole expense and subject to applicable Law, Buyer and its Representatives reasonable access, during normal business hours and upon reasonable prior notice, to the properties, books, Business Records and personnel to the extent related to the Business as Buyer may reasonably request (subject to any limitations that are reasonably required to preserve any applicable attorney-client privilege, protect any proprietary or confidential information unrelated to the Business, or comply with third-party confidentiality obligations); provided, however, that such access does not unreasonably disrupt the normal operations of the Business or Seller; and (ii) without the prior written consent of Seller (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and subject to Section 5.4, Buyer shall not contact any employee of Seller or any Acquired Company (other than with respect to offers of employment from Buyer to Business Employees in accordance with the terms of this Agreement), or any supplier or service provider to or customer of the Business in connection with this Agreement or any of the Transactions. Any access to Seller’s or any Acquired Company’s properties shall be subject to Seller’s reasonable security measures and insurance requirements and shall not include the right to perform any “invasive” testing. Seller shall, within two (2) days following the full execution thereof, provide Buyer with a copy of any amendment to the Merger Agreement to the extent any such amendment is reasonably likely to impact the timing of the closing of the Merger. For the avoidance of doubt, prior to the Closing, the access and other rights granted to Seller pursuant to this Section 5.6 are strictly limited to integration planning, and Seller shall not have any access or similar rights other than in connection with such integration planning.”
(f) Section 5.9(a)(ii) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
“Compensation and Benefits. For a period of ninety (90) days following the Closing Date, but subject to Section 5.9(b), Buyer shall provide each Transferred Employee who remains in employment with Buyer or its affiliates with (A) base salary or wage rate not less favorable than that provided in the offer letter sent pursuant to Section 5.9(a)(i) and (B) benefits that are comparable to the benefits provided to similarly situated employees of Buyer or its affiliates.”
(g) Section 5.15 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
“Notification of Certain Matters. Subject to Section 5.4, during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to its terms and the Closing, Seller shall give notice to Buyer, and Buyer shall give notice to Seller, as promptly as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware of (a) any fact, change, condition, circumstance, event, occurrence or non-occurrence that has caused or is reasonably likely to cause any representation or warranty in this Agreement made by it to be untrue or inaccurate in any material respect; or (b) any material failure on its part to comply with or satisfy any covenant, condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by it hereunder, in each case if and only to the extent that such untruth, inaccuracy or failure would reasonably be expected to cause any of the conditions to the obligations of Seller or Buyer, as applicable, to consummate the Transactions set forth in Section 6.2(a) or Section 6.2(b) (in the case of Buyer) and Section 6.3(a) or Section 6.3(b) (in the case
of Seller) to fail to be satisfied at the Closing. In addition, subject to Section 5.4, Seller shall give Buyer notice, as promptly as reasonably practicable upon becoming aware, of any Legal Proceedings initiated by, against, or involving Seller or any Acquired Company. The delivery of any notice pursuant to this Section 5.15 shall not limit or otherwise affect the remedies available hereunder to the Party receiving such notice, or the representations or warranties of, or the conditions to the obligations of, the Parties. Any Party’s unintentional failure to give notice under this Section 5.15 shall not be deemed to be a breach of covenant under this Section 5.15 but instead shall constitute only a breach of the underlying representation, warranty, covenant, condition or agreement, as the case may be.”
3. Amendments to Article X of the Agreement. Section 10.9 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated as follows:
“Amendments, Extensions and Waivers. This Agreement may be amended by the Parties at any time prior to Closing by execution of an instrument in writing signed by Buyer, Seller and the Seller Stockholder Representative and at any time following the Closing by execution of an instrument in writing signed by Buyer, Seller and the Seller Stockholder Representative. At any time prior to the Closing, Buyer, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, may, to the extent legally allowed, (a) extend the time for the performance of any of the obligations of the other Party; (b) waive any inaccuracies in the representations and warranties made to such Party contained herein or in any document delivered pursuant hereto; and (c) waive compliance with any of the covenants, agreements or conditions for the benefit of such Party contained herein. Any agreement on the part of a Party to any such extension or waiver shall be valid only if set forth in an instrument in writing signed by such Party. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Seller shall be permitted, without any action of or consent from Buyer, to revise (i) the Schedules to this Agreement as contemplated in Section 1.1 or (ii) Sections 2.2(j), 2.3(l), 2.4(e), and 2.5(h) of the Business Disclosure Schedule to properly allocate and reflect any rights, obligations and liabilities relating to the assets acquired, Business Products developed, Contracts executed, or Legal Proceedings commenced after the date of this Agreement and prior to the Closing.”
4. Headings. The headings set forth in this Amendment are for convenience of reference purposes only and shall not affect or be deemed to affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Amendment or any term or provision hereof.
