2.    Schedule of Purchasers. In connection with the acquisition of the Additional Note Amount by the Joining Purchasers, the Schedule of Purchasers in the NPA is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the Schedule of Purchasers attached hereto as Exhibit A.

3.    Severability. Any term or provision of this Amendment that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.

4.    Entire Agreement. The Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, and the other agreements referred to therein, constitute the entire understanding and agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter thereof and hereof and no party shall be liable or bound to any other in any manner by any oral or written representations, warranties, covenants and agreements except as specifically set forth therein and herein. Except as modified by this Amendment, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in all respects without any modification.


5.    Governing Law. The provisions of Sections 10.1 of the NPA are hereby incorporated by reference as if fully set forth herein.

6.    Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. Counterparts may also be delivered via facsimile, electronic mail (including, PDF or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. federal ESIGN Act of 2000, Uniform Electronic Transactions Act or other applicable law) or other transmission method and any counterpart so delivered shall be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.
