however, that no person or group shall be treated for purposes of this Section 6.2(iii)(B) as beneficially owning 50% or more of
combined voting power of the Successor Entity solely as a result of the voting power held in the Company prior to the consummation
of the transaction; or


 


(iv)The Company’s stockholders
approve a liquidation or dissolution of the Company and all material contingencies to such liquidation or dissolution have been
satisfied or waived.

all terms and conditions set forth in the Agreement to which this Amendment applies, shall remain in full force and effect. In
the event of a conflict between this Amendment and the Agreement, this Amendment shall be controlling.


 


4.             This Amendment may be executed in counterparts,
each of which are deemed to be original, but both of which together constitute one and the same instrument. Copies of signatures
