notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Merger Agreement, to the extent any of Messrs.

2. In the event that Xxxx Xxxxxx does not qualify as an independent director under the Nasdaq

Section 2.2(c) of the Holdco Stockholders Agreement attached to the Merger Agreement as

Execution and delivery of this letter agreement by each of the undersigned constitutes a
representation by each of the undersigned that it is authorized to execute and deliver this letter
