As promptly as practicable after all SEC comments on the Proxy Statement shall have been resolved, Purchaser shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Proxy Statement to be mailed to its shareholders as of the record date for the Purchaser’s Shareholders’ Meeting.

3. Cooperation. The Parties shall cooperate in good faith to expeditiously amend the Proxy Statement as soon as possible to reflect the agreements and amendments to the Merger Agreement described and provided herein and to seek effectiveness from the SEC.

4. Effect of the Amendment. Each of the Parties represents that it has all necessary power and authority to enter into and perform the obligations of this Agreement and that there are no consents or approvals required to be obtained by such Party for such Party to enter into and perform its obligations under this Amendment that have not been obtained. This Agreement shall be deemed incorporated into, and form a part of, the Merger Agreement and have the same legal validity and effect as the Merger Agreement. Except as expressly and specifically amended hereby, all terms and provisions of the Merger Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect, and all references to the Merger Agreement in this Amendment and in any ancillary agreements or documents delivered in connection with the Merger Agreement shall hereafter refer to the Merger Agreement as amended by this Agreement, and as it may hereafter be further amended or restated.

This Agreement shall become effective upon delivery to each party of an executed counterpart or the earlier delivery to each party of original, photocopied, or electronically transmitted signature pages that together (but need not individually) bear the signatures of all other parties. A determination by a court or other legal authority that any provision that is not of the essence of this Agreement is legally invalid shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provision hereof. The parties shall cooperate in good faith to substitute (or cause such court or other legal authority to substitute) for any provision so held to be invalid a valid provision, as alike in substance to such invalid provision as is lawful.
