          (c) All Conditions Deemed Satisfied. In the event that the Stockholder Approval is not obtained by October 19, 2007 for any reason whatsoever, all conditions to the Closing set forth in the SPA (except for Stockholder Approval) shall be deemed fully satisfied and fulfilled as of such date and any date thereafter for the purpose of establishing the Seller’s entitlement to the Termination Fee, without regard to any circumstances whatsoever after the date hereof, including without limitation the occurrence of any event that has or may have a Material Adverse Effect.
