(b) Section 2.7 of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
Section 2.7 Merger Consideration
(a) On the Closing Date, Parent shall pay or cause the Merger Consideration (other than the Per Share Option Cash Consideration) to be paid or issued to the Stockholders in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the allocation of the Merger Consideration set forth on Annex A hereto (the “Stockholder Allocation”), which shall be updated as necessary by FTS prior to the Closing to adjust for the items set forth on Annex A.
(b) Notwithstanding the Stockholder Allocation set forth on Annex A, if any shares of Parent Common Stock are redeemed in connection with the Merger in accordance with the terms set forth in the Proxy Statement, each of the FTV Entities may, in their sole discretion, elect to receive a portion of the Cash Merger Consideration payable to such FTV Entity in shares of Parent Common Stock; provided, however, that the aggregate number of shares of Parent Common Stock issued to the FTV Entities pursuant to their election under this Section 2.7(b) shall not exceed the lesser of (1) 300,000 shares or (2) the total number of shares of Parent Common Stock redeemed by Parent in connection with the Merger in accordance with the terms set forth in the Proxy Statement. Any shares of Parent Common Stock issued to an FTV Entity pursuant to this Section 2.7(b) shall be valued at $10.00 per share and shall reduce the Cash Merger Consideration payable to such FTV Entity on a dollar-for-dollar basis.
(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing, no updates to the Stockholder Allocation pursuant to this Section 2.7 shall be made without Parent’s consent if Parent determines, on the advice of legal counsel, that such update or updates, when considered individually or in the aggregate, would require that Parent amend or supplement the Proxy Statement after it is declared effective by the SEC.
3. Entire Agreement. The Merger Agreement, as amended by this Amendment, remains in full force and effect, and embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersedes and replaces all prior oral and written agreements or understandings by and between the parties regarding the Merger.
4. Counterparts; Facsimiles. This Amendment may be signed in counterparts and evidenced by facsimile, .pdf format or similarly-imaged pages.
