Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:


 


“(ii) by
either the Company or the Purchaser if the Closing has not occurred within 120
days of the date hereof; provided, however, that the right to terminate this
Agreement under this Section 6.14(a)(ii) shall not be available to
any party whose action or failure to act has been a principal cause of or
resulted in the failure of the Closing to occur on or before such date and such
action or failure or failure to act constitutes a material breach of this
Agreement.”
