RECITALS
WHEREAS, the Company and the Stockholders entered into the Registration Rights Agreement on February 26, 2010; and
WHEREAS, the Company and the Stockholders desire to amend the Registration Rights Agreement as more fully set forth below.
NOW, THEREFORE, in accordance with Section 6.2 of the Registration Rights Agreement, the parties hereto agree to amend the Registration Rights Agreement as follows:
1. | Amendment to the Registration Rights Agreement. Section 3.1.1(a) of Article III of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following: |
Piggyback Registration.
(a) General. Each time the Company proposes to register any shares of Common Stock under the Securities Act on a form that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public, for its own account and/or for the account of any other Person for sale in a Public Offering, the Company will give notice to all Holders of its intention to do so. Any Holder may, by written response delivered to the Company within three (3) Business Days after the date of delivery of such notice, request that all or a specified part of the Holder’s Registrable Securities be included in such registration. The Company thereupon will use its best efforts, subject to Section 3.2.1, to cause to be included in the registration under the Securities Act all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by Holders, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the methods to be used by the Company in such Public Offering) of the Registrable Securities to be so registered; provided, that (i) if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities, the Company determines for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration of the securities to be sold by it, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of this
determination to each Holder and, thereupon, will be relieved of the obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with the previously proposed registration (but not from the obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) if the proposed registration involves an underwritten offering, all Holders requesting to be included in the registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company (with such differences as may be customary or appropriate in combined primary and secondary offerings and, in any event, without providing for indemnification or contribution obligations in excess of what is required by Section 3.3) or, in the case of a registration initiated by any Investor, such Investor.
