NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual promises herein made, and in consideration of the representations, warranties and covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, the parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Addition of the Pubco as a Party to the Insider Letter. The parties hereby agree to add Pubco as a party to the Insider Letter. The parties further agree that, from and after the Closing, (i) all of the rights and obligations of the Company under the Insider Letter shall be, and hereby are, assigned and delegated to Pubco as if it were the original “Company” party thereto, and (ii) all references to the Company under the Insider Letter relating to periods from and after the Closing shall instead be a reference to Pubco. By executing this Amendment, Pubco hereby agrees to be bound by and subject to all of the terms and conditions of the Insider Letter, as amended by this Amendment, from and after the Closing as if it were the original “Company” party thereto.
2. Amendments to the Insider Letter. The Parties hereby agree to the following amendments to the Insider Letter:
(a) The defined terms in this Amendment, including in the preamble and recitals hereto, and the definitions incorporated by reference from the BCA, are hereby added to the Insider Letter as if they were set forth therein.

3. Effectiveness. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, this Amendment shall become effective upon the Closing.

4. Miscellaneous. Except as expressly provided in this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions in the Original Agreement are and shall remain in full force and effect, on the terms and subject to the conditions set forth therein. This Amendment does not constitute, directly or by implication, an amendment or waiver of any provision of the Original Agreement, or any other right, remedy, power or privilege of any party thereto, except as expressly set forth herein. Any reference to the Insider Letter in the Original Agreement or any other agreement, document, instrument or certificate entered into or issued in connection therewith shall hereinafter mean the Insider Letter, as amended by this Amendment (or as the Insider Letter may be further amended or modified in accordance with the terms thereof and hereof).
