In the case of any registration of Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 3.1.2(b) all Series A Investors proposing to distribute their securities pursuant to this Section 3.1.2(b)(ii) shall, at the request of the Company, enter into an agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters. |
