1.    Amendment to Section 7.1(b). Section 7.1(b) of the Merger Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety and replaced for all purposes of the Merger Agreement with the following:

Each reference in the Merger Agreement to “this Agreement,” “hereunder,” “hereof,” “herein” or words of like import referring to the Merger Agreement, and each reference in any other document relating to the “Merger Agreement,” “thereunder,” “thereof” or words of like import referring to the Merger Agreement, means and references the Merger Agreement as amended by this Amendment.
