Section 11 — “Purpose of the Offer and Plans for TCS; Merger Agreement and Other Agreements — The Merger Agreement — Representations and Warranties” of the Offer to Purchase is hereby amended by amending and restating the last paragraph of such section on page 19 of the Offer to Purchase in its entirety as follows:

 

The Merger Agreement and the above description thereof have been included to provide TCS stockholders with information regarding the terms of the agreement. The representations, warranties and covenants contained in the Merger Agreement were made as of the specific dates therein, may be subject to limitations agreed upon by the contracting parties, including being qualified by confidential disclosures made for the purposes of allocating contractual risk among the parties to the Merger Agreement, and may be subject to standards of materiality applicable to the contracting parties that differ from those applicable to TCS stockholders. Moreover, information concerning the subject matter of representations and warranties may change after the date of the Merger Agreement. Accordingly, TCS stockholders should read the representations and warranties in the Merger Agreement not in isolation but only in conjunction with the other information about TCS or Comtech and their respective subsidiaries that the respective companies include in reports, statements and other filings they make with the SEC.
