1. Extension of End Date. Section 9.1(e) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:
(e) by either Parent or the Company, if the Effective Time shall not have occurred on or before May 31, 2025 (the “End Date”); provided further, the parties acting in good faith may agree to extend the End Date by mutual written consent; provided, however, that neither such party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(e) if there has been any material breach by such party of its representations, warranties or covenants contained in this Agreement, and such breach has primarily caused or resulted in the failure of the Closing to have occurred on or before the End Date; or
