been entitled to receive upon the closing of such Fundamental Transaction had the shares of Buyer Common Stock constituting the Contingent Stock Consideration with respect to the applicable Milestone been issued immediately prior to the closing of such Fundamental Transaction. No later than the closing date of any Fundamental Transaction, Buyer shall disclose to the Seller Successor all material information relating to such Fundamental Transaction (including the material terms and conditions thereof). The provisions of this Section 1.5(c) shall apply similarly and equally to all successive Fundamental Transactions.”

(d)         The definition of “Cap” in Section 9.1(s) of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:

“(s) “Cap” means an amount equal to the sum of (i) an amount equal to 10% of the Initial Cash Payment, plus (ii) an amount equal to 10% of the value of the Initial Stock Consideration, with the value of the Initial Stock Consideration for purposes of this definition being equal to the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock constituting the Initial Stock Consideration multiplied by the Buyer Trading Price for the ten (10) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately before the Closing Date, plus (iii) an amount equal to 10% of the Contingent Cash Amount to the extent paid by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.5(a), plus (iv) an amount equal to 10% of the value of the Contingent Stock Consideration to the extent delivered by Buyer pursuant to Section 1.5(b), with the value of such Contingent Stock Consideration for purposes of this definition being equal to the number of shares of Buyer Common Stock so delivered multiplied by the Buyer Trading Price for the ten (10) consecutive Business Days ending on the Business Day immediately before the issuance of such Contingent Stock Consideration.”
