WHEREAS, the Board of Directors of Parent, Purchaser and the Company view it to be advisable, desirable and in the best interests of Parent, Purchaser and the Company, respectively, to amend the Merger Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the agreements hereinafter set forth and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:
1. Extension of Expiration Date. The Offer shall be extended and remain open until 12:01 a.m., New York City time, on August 1, 2008 (the “Expiration Date”), unless Purchaser shall have extended the period of time for which the Offer is open pursuant to, and in accordance with, the provisions of Section 2.01(b) of the Merger Agreement or as may be required by applicable Law, in which event the term “Expiration Date” shall mean the latest time and date as the Offer, as so extended, may expire.
2. Closing. Purchaser and Parent agree that the Tender Offer Conditions set forth in items (a), (d), (e), (f), (g) and (i) of Annex A to the Merger Agreement have been satisfied as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on the date hereof. The Company shall furnish Parent concurrently with the execution of this Amendment, a certificate dated as of the date hereof, signed on its behalf by both its Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer to the effect that the conditions set forth in items (d) and (e) of Annex A to the Merger Agreement shall not have occurred and continue to exist. The certificate to be furnished by the Company to Parent pursuant to the preceding sentence shall be in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Parent and Purchaser shall retain the right to terminate the Merger Agreement in the event that on the Expiration Date (x) the Minimum Condition shall not be satisfied or (y) the conditions set forth in items (b) or (c) of Annex A to the Merger Agreement shall have occurred and continue to exist. Subject to the foregoing, Purchaser and Parent further agree that the Merger shall be consummated within three business days following the Expiration Date.

Except to the extent expressly modified by this Amendment, all of the provisions of the Merger Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, without modification or amendment and are ratified in all respects, including the provisions of Section 7.07 of the Merger Agreement, which apply expressly to this Amendment and all actions taken in respect hereof. This Amendment is limited by its terms and does not and shall not serve to amend or waive any provision of the Merger Agreement except as expressly provided for in this Amendment.
4. Governing Law; General Provisions. This Amendment shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware (without giving effect to choice of law principles thereof) and shall be interpreted and enforced in accordance with the terms of the Merger Agreement.
