As used herein, “Transfer” shall mean the (a) sale or assignment of, offer to sell, contract or agreement to sell, hypothecate, pledge, grant of any option to purchase or otherwise dispose of or agreement to dispose of, directly or indirectly, or establishment or increase of a put equivalent position or liquidation with respect to or decrease of a call equivalent position within the meaning of Section 16 of the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities Exchange Commission promulgated thereunder with respect to, any security, (b) entry into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of any security, whether any such transaction is to be settled by delivery of such securities, in cash or otherwise, or (c) public announcement of any intention to effect any transaction specified in clause (a) or (b).

As used herein, “Change of Control” shall mean means any transaction or series of transactions (A) the result of which is that a person or “group” (within the meaning of Section 13(d) of the Exchange Act) of persons (other than the Surviving Corporation and its subsidiaries), has direct or indirect beneficial ownership of securities (or rights convertible or exchangeable into securities) representing fifty percent (50%) or more of the voting power of or economic rights or interests in the Surviving Corporation, (B) constituting a liquidation, merger, share exchange, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination, however effected, following which either (1) the members of the board of directors of the Surviving Corporation immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination do not constitute at least a majority of the board of directors of the company surviving the combination or (2) the voting securities of the Surviving Corporation immediately prior to such merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination do not continue to represent or are not converted into fifty percent (50%) or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding voting securities of the person resulting from such combination, or (C) the result of which is a sale of all or substantially all of the assets of the Surviving Corporation (as appearing in its most recent balance sheet) to any person.

4. Amendments. Section 12 of the Letter Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Letter Agreement and this Amendment may not be changed, amended, modified or waived (other than to correct a typographical error) as to any particular provision, except by a written instrument executed by all parties hereto, which for the avoidance of doubt shall include the Company and Newco.
3
5. Termination. Section 16 of the Letter Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
The parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Letter Agreement and this Amendment shall terminate on the earlier of (i) the expiration of the Lock-up Periods or (ii) the liquidation of Pace (such date, the “Termination Date”); provided that, prior to the Termination Date, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the Letter Agreement and this Amendment may not be terminated without the written consent of the Company and Newco.
6. Specific Performance. The parties agree that irreparable damage for which monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy, would occur in the event that the parties do not perform their obligations under the provisions of the Letter Agreement, as amended by this Amendment (including failing to take such actions as are required of them hereunder to consummate the Letter Agreement, as amended by this Amendment) in accordance with its specified terms or otherwise breach such provisions. The parties acknowledge and agree that (a) the parties shall be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance, or other equitable relief, to prevent breaches of the Letter Agreement, as amended by this Amendment and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions hereof, without proof of damages, prior to the valid termination of the Letter Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, and (b) the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by the Letter Agreement, as amended by this Amendment and without that right, none of the parties would have entered into this Amendment. Each party agrees that it will not oppose the granting of specific performance and other equitable relief on the basis that the other parties have an adequate remedy at law or that an award of specific performance is not an appropriate remedy for any reason at law or equity.
7. Further Assurances. The parties hereto will sign such further documents, cause such meetings to be held, resolutions passed, exercise their votes and do and perform and cause to be done such further acts and things necessary, proper or advisable in order to give full effect to the Letter Agreement, as amended by this Amendment and every provision hereof.
8. Effect of Amendment. Except as expressly provided herein, this Amendment shall not constitute an amendment, modification or waiver of any provision of the Letter Agreement or any rights or obligations of any party under or in respect of the Letter Agreement. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Letter Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. Upon the execution of this Amendment by the Parties, each reference in the Letter Agreement to “this Agreement” or the words “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of similar effect referring to the Letter Agreement shall mean and be a reference to the Letter Agreement as amended by this Amendment, and a reference to the Letter Agreement in any other instrument or document shall be deemed a reference to the Letter Agreement as amended by this Amendment. This Amendment shall be subject to, shall form a part of, and shall be governed by, the terms and conditions set forth in the Letter Agreement, as amended by this Amendment. The Letter Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings, agreements, or representations by or among the parties hereto, written or oral, to the extent they relate in any way to the subject matter hereof or the transactions contemplated hereby.
9. General. Section 13, 14 and 15 of the Letter Agreement shall apply to this Amendment mutatis mutandis.
