Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (a) Section 1(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.
The Registration Rights Agreement The Registration Rights Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the Company and constitutes a valid and legally binding obligation of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting the enforcement of creditors’ rights generally or by equitable principles relating to enforceability.
Registration of the Shares (i) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC, by August 31, 2011, a Registration Statement under the Securities Act to permit the public sale of the Restricted Stock and use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as reasonably practicable thereafter. The Selling Stockholders shall furnish such information as may be reasonably requested by the Company in order to include such Restricted Stock in such Registration Statement. If the Selling Stockholders decide not to include all or any portion of their Restricted Stock in such Registration Statement, then the Company shall have no further obligation to include such Restricted Stock in any subsequent Registration Statement or Registration Statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities. (ii) In the event that any registration pursuant to Section 7(b)(i) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of Common Stock on behalf of the Company, all Selling Stockholders proposing to distribute their Restricted Stock through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company. If the managing underwriter thereof advises the Company in writing that in its opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Company, the Company shall include in such registration: (A) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, and (B) second, the Restricted Stock and any other registrable securities eligible and requested to be included in such registration to the extent that the number of shares to be registered under this clause (B) will not, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, adversely affect the offering of the securities pursuant to clause (A). In such a case, shares shall be registered pro rata among the holders of such Restricted Stock and registrable securities on the basis of the number of shares eligible for registration that are owned by all such holders and requested to be included in such registration. (iii) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company's obligation in Sections 7(b)(i) and (ii) above shall extend only to the inclusion of the Restricted Stock in a Registration Statement. The Company shall have no obligation to assure the terms and conditions of distribution, to obtain a commitment from an underwriter relative to the sale of the Restricted Stock, or to otherwise assume any responsibility for the manner, price or terms of the distribution of the Restricted Stock. (iv) The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under this Section 7(b) prior to the effectiveness of such registration without thereby incurring liability to the holders of the Restricted Stock, regardless of whether any holder has elected to include securities in such registration. The Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 7(e)) of such withdrawn registration shall be borne by the Company in accordance with Section 7(d) hereof.
