Such information includes the terms and conditions of the offering of the Common Stock and Warrants to the Purchaser, and the plan of operations of the Company's business and financial condition of the Company. Neither such inquiries nor any other investigation conducted by or on behalf of the Purchaser or its representatives or counsel shall modify, amend or affect the Purchaser's right to rely on the truth, accuracy and completeness of the Disclosure Materials and the Company's representations and warranties contained in the Purchase Documents. |

The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Common Stock, Warrants and or the Underlying Common Stock may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell the Shares and Underlying Common Stock without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144. |
|

The Company will maintain the Life Insurance for two years from the Closing Date. |
6.2 Board Provisions. The Company covenants that the Company shall: |
|
(a) Board Observation Rights. Permit Roaring Fork the right, but not the obligation, beginning on the Closing Date and ending three years after the Closing Date, to designate one observer to attend meetings of the Board and committees of the Board. The designee will receive notice of each meeting of the Board and each committee of the Board in accordance with the Bylaws of the Company and Utah law. Any such designee will receive reimbursement for all reasonable costs and expenses incurred in attending meetings of the Board and any committee of the Board held outside the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area. Moreover, to the extent permitted by law, the designee shall be indemnified for the actions of such designee as an observer to the Board and in the event the Company maintains a liability insurance policy affording coverage for the acts of its officers and directors, to the extent permitted under such policy, the Purchaser and its designee shall be an insured under such policy. The Company may exclude the observer from attending portions of meetings where, in the opinion of counsel, the observer's presence would destroy the attorney-client privilege. |
|
(b) Expansion of the Board. Within six months of the Closing Date, the Board will be reconstituted and expanded to five members, which will include three persons reasonably acceptable to Roaring Fork who are not currently members of the Board. At least one of the current outside directors will continue to serve on the Board until replaced. The three new directors will be "outside" directors who would be "independent" pursuant to standards of the The Nasdaq Stock Market, Inc. ("Nasdaq"). |
|
(c) Authorization and Holding Meeting of Shareholders. Cause its Board to authorize, and the Company hold, a shareholder meeting, as promptly as possible, but in no event later than 120 days after the Closing Date, to: (i) elect three new independent directors as provided in Section 6.2(b); effect a 1-for-10 split of the common stock as provided in Section 3.1; and adopt a new employee stock option plan. |
6.3 Right of First Offer. Subject to the terms and conditions specified in this Section 6.3, the Company hereby grants to each Purchaser with an Investment Amount of $1,000,000 or more a right of first offer to purchase its Pro Rata Share (as hereinafter defined) (in whole or in part) with respect to future sales by the Company of its Shares (as hereinafter defined) made within two years after the Closing Date. For purposes of this Section 6.3, the Purchaser's "Pro Rata Share" of Shares shall mean that number of Shares that equals the proportion that (i) the number of shares of Common Stock then held by such Purchaser bears to (ii) the total number of shares of Common Stock of the Company then outstanding (without giving effect to full conversion or exercise of any convertible or exercisable securities then outstanding). |
|
Each time the Company proposes to offer any shares of, or securities convertible into or exercisable for any shares of, any class of its capital stock ("Shares"), the Company shall first make an offering of such Shares to each Purchaser in accordance with the following provisions: |
|
(a) The Company shall deliver a notice by confirmed facsimile transmission, certified mail or a nationally recognized overnight courier service ("Notice") to each Purchaser stating (i) its bona fide intention to offer such Shares, (ii) the number of such Shares to be offered, and (iii) the price and a summary of the terms, if any, upon which it proposes to offer such Shares (the "Subsequent Offering"). |
|
(b) By written notification received by the Company within twenty (20) calendar days after receipt of the Notice, the Purchaser must indicate whether it is interested in participating in the Subsequent Offering, at the price and on the terms specified in the Notice, up to its Pro Rata Share of such Shares. Purchaser's indication of interest under this Section 6.3(b) is a non-binding commitment by Purchaser. |
|
(c) The Company shall provide written notice to each Purchaser who indicated its intent to participate under Section 6.3(b) at least ten business days prior to closing the Subsequent Offering, and the Purchaser must commit, under the same terms as other purchasers in the Subsequent Offering, a specified dollar amount or percentage within five business days prior to closing the Subsequent Offering. If the Company does not enter into an agreement for the Subsequent Offering within one hundred twenty (120) days of the date Purchaser's response is received under Section 6.3(b), the right provided hereunder shall be deemed to be revived and the Subsequent Offering may not proceed unless first reoffered to the Purchasers in accordance herewith. |
|
The right of first offer in this Section 6.3 shall not be applicable to (i) shares of Common Stock (or options therefor) issuable or issued to employees, consultants or directors of the Company directly or pursuant to a stock option plan or restricted stock plan or other agreement approved by the Board and the shareholders of the Company, (ii) shares of Common Stock issued or issuable in or after a firm commitment underwritten public offering, (iii) shares of Common Stock issuable or issued upon exercise of options or warrants by their terms that were outstanding as of the date hereof, (iv) securities issued or issuable to banks or equipment lessors, provided such issuances are (A) for other than primarily equity financing purposes and (B) approved by the Board, (v) securities issued in connection with business combinations, corporate partnering agreements or licensing agreements, provided such issuances are (A) for other than primarily equity financing purposes and (B) approved by the Board, (vi) securities issued as dividends or distributions on the Company's capital stock, and (vii) securities issued pursuant to Section 2.1 of this Agreement. |
6.4 Negative Covenants. The Company covenants to the Purchaser that, for a period of two years beginning with the Closing Date and ending two years after the Closing Date, the Company shall not: |
|
(a) Dividends and Stock Purchases. Directly or indirectly, declare or pay any dividends or make any distribution of any kind on its outstanding capital stock (currently existing or as may be authorized or issued within two years after the Closing Date) or any other similar payment to any of its stockholders or its Affiliates without first obtaining the consent of the then holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. |
|
(b) Issuances to Optionees. Issue to employees or consultants shares of Common Stock (except pursuant to exercises of options granted prior to the Closing Date) or Options in excess of an amount equal to 40% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after the final closing of the Offering (25,124,242 shares if all of the securities are sold in the Offering) (the "Option Pool"), of which 20% of the Option Pool (5,024,848 shares if all of the securities are sold in the Offering) would be available for grant to existing and new employees other than executive management only, without first obtaining the consent of the then holders of a majority of Registrable Securities. Such consent will not be necessary if: (i) the Common Stock trades on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange at a price above $.50 for a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days and the average daily per share volume of the Common Stock on Nasdaq or the exchange for the 30 Trading Days is in excess of 200,000 shares; and (ii) a current registration statement is then in effect for the resale of the Purchaser's Common Stock and the Underlying Common Stock. Options to purchase an aggregate maximum of 80% of the Option Pool (20,099,394 shares if all of the securities are sold in the Offering) shares will be available for grants to the Principal Shareholders based on obtaining specific milestones as set forth in the Milestone Schedule attached hereto. The option agreements for the Options granted to the Principal Shareholders may not be amended without the consent of the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities. |
|
(c) Change its Business, without first obtaining the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. |

7.2 Piggyback Registrations. |
|
(a) Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act and the registration form to be used may be used for the registration of Registrable Securities (a "Piggyback Registration"), the Company will give prompt written notice (in any event within three (3) Business Days after its receipt of notice of any exercise of demand registration rights other than under this Agreement) to all holders of Registrable Securities with respect of the proposed offering at least 15 days before the initial filing with the SEC of such registration statement, and offer to include in such filing such Registrable Securities as any such holder may request. Each such holder of Registrable Securities desiring to have Registrable Securities registered under this Section 7.2 shall advise the Company in writing within 15 days after the date of receipt of such notice from the Company, setting forth the amount of such Registrable Securities for which registration is requested. The Company shall thereupon include in such filing the number of Registrable Securities for which registration is so requested, and shall use its best efforts to effect registration under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities. |
|
(b) The registration expenses of the holders of Registrable Securities will be paid by the Company in all Piggyback Registrations to the extent provided in Section 7.5 hereof. |
|
(c) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their 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 will include in such registration: (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of the securities requested to be included in such registration. |
|
(d) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten secondary registration on behalf of holders of the Company's securities, and the managing underwriters advise the Company in writing that in their opinion the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number that can be sold in an orderly manner in such offering within a price range acceptable to the holders initially requesting such registration, the Company will include in such registration, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of other securities requested to be included in such registration. |
7.3 Demand Registration Rights. |
|
(a) If, at any time prior to December 31, 2008, the Company receives a written request by the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to effect the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities, the Company shall follow the procedures described in this Section 7.3. Within five (5) days of its receipt of such request, the Company shall give written notice of such proposed registration (a "Demand Registration") to all holders of Registrable Securities, and thereupon, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to effect the registration on a form of general use under the Securities Act of the shares it has been requested to register in such initial request and in any response to such notice given to the Company within 20 days after the Company's giving of such notice; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to effect more than one Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 7.3. |
|
(b) The Company may not be required to effect a registration pursuant to this Section 7.3 during the first 180 days after the effective date of any registration statement filed by the Company under Sections 7.1 or 7.2 hereof if the holders of Registrable Securities requesting registration have been afforded the opportunity to register in such registration all or a majority of their Registrable Securities. |
|
(c) The Company may include in any registration under this Section 7.3 any other shares of Common Stock (including issued and outstanding shares of stock as to which the holders thereof have contracted with the Company for "piggyback" registration rights) so long as the inclusion in such registration of such shares will not, in the opinion of the managing underwriter of the shares of the stockholder or stockholders first demanding registration (if the offering is underwritten), interfere with the successful marketing in accordance with the intended method of sale or other disposition of all the stock sought to be registered by such demanding stockholder or stockholders pursuant to this Section 7.3. |
7.4 Registration Procedures. Whenever the holders of Registrable Securities have requested that any Registrable Securities be registered pursuant to this Agreement, the Company will use reasonable efforts to effect the registration and the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will as expeditiously as possible: |
|
(a) prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective; |
|
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be reasonably necessary to keep such registration statement effective for a period equal to the shorter of (i) one year and (ii) the time by which all securities covered by such registration statement have been sold; |
|
(c) furnish to each seller of Registrable Securities such number of copies of such registration statement, each amendment and supplement thereto, the prospectus included in such registration statement (including each preliminary prospectus) and such other documents as such seller may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller; |
|
(d) use reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as any seller of Registrable Securities reasonably requests and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller (provided that the Company will not be required to (i) qualify generally to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this subparagraph, (ii) subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdictions, (iii) consent to general service of process in each such jurisdiction, (iv) undertake such actions in any jurisdiction other than the states of the United States of America and the District of Columbia, or (v) register or qualify such Registrable Securities in any state where the cost to do would be prohibitively expensive); |
|
(e) notify each seller of such Registrable Securities, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the Purchaser of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; |
|
(f) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of such registration statement; |
|
(g) enter into such customary agreements (including underwriting agreements in customary form) and take all such other actions as the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold or the underwriters, if any, reasonably request in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares); |
|
(h) make available for inspection by any seller of Registrable Securities, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such registration statement and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by any such seller or underwriter, all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company, and cause the Company's officers, directors, employees and independent accountants to supply all information reasonably requested by any such seller, underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with such registration statement; |
|
(i) otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC, and make available to its security holders, as soon as reasonably practicable, an earnings statement covering the period of at least twelve months beginning with the first day of the Company's first full calendar quarter after the effective date of the registration statement, which earnings statement shall satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act and Rule 158 thereunder; |
|
(j) permit any holder of Registrable Securities which holder, in its sole and exclusive judgment, might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, to participate in the preparation of such registration or comparable statement and to require the insertion therein of material, furnished to the Company in writing, which in the reasonable judgment of such holder and its counsel should be included; and |
|
(k) in the event of the issuance of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a registration statement, or of any order suspending or preventing the use of any related prospectus or suspending the qualification of any Common Stock included in such registration statement for sale in any jurisdiction, the Company will use its best efforts promptly to obtain the withdrawal of such order. If any such registration or comparable statement refers to any holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company and if in its sole and exclusive judgment such holder is or might be deemed to be a controlling person of the Company, such holder shall have the right to require (i) the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such holder and presented to the Company in writing, to the effect that the holding by such holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such holder of the investment quality of the Company's securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, (ii) in the event that such reference to such holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, the deletion of the reference to such holder; provided that with respect to this clause (ii) such holder shall furnish to the Company an opinion of counsel to such effect, which opinion and counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Company. |
7.5 Registration Expenses. All expenses incident to the Company's performance of or compliance with this Article 7, including without limitation all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and all independent certified public accountants, and other Persons retained by the Company (all such expenses, other than discounts and commissions related to sales by the Purchaser, being herein called "Registration Expenses"), will be borne by the Company. |
7.6 Indemnification. |
|
(a) The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its partners, officers and directors and each Person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder's failure to deliver a copy of the registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with an underwritten offering, the Company will indemnify such underwriters, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the holders of Registrable Securities. |
|
(b) In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information and affidavits as the Company reasonably requests for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in any information or affidavit so furnished in writing by such holder; |
|
(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder will (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) unless in such indemnified party's reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist with respect to such claim, permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. If such defense is assumed, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made by the indemnified party without its consent (but such consent will not be unreasonably withheld). An indemnifying party who is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel for all parties indemnified by such indemnifying party with respect to such claim, unless in the reasonable judgment of any indemnified party a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and any other of such indemnified parties with respect to such claim. |
|
(d) The indemnification provided for under this Agreement will remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the indemnified party or any officer, director or controlling Person of such indemnified party and will survive the transfer of securities. The Company also agrees to make such provisions, as are reasonably requested by any indemnified party, for contribution to such party in the event the Company's indemnification is unavailable for any reason. |
7.7 Participation in Underwritten Registrations. No Person may participate in any registration hereunder which is underwritten unless such Person (a) agrees to sell such Person's securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Person or Persons entitled hereunder to approve such arrangements and (b) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided that no holder of Registrable Securities included in any underwritten registration shall be required to make any representations or warranties to the Company or the underwriters other than representations and warranties regarding such holder and such holder's intended method of distribution. |
7.8 Termination of Registration Rights. All registration rights granted under this Article 7 will expire if the Company is subject to the provisions of the Securities Exchange Act and all of the holder's Registrable Securities may be sold under SEC Rule 144 during any ninety-day period. |

Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding and the laying of venue in such court. Each party hereto irrevocably waives any objection to the laying of venue of any such suit, action or proceeding brought in such courts and irrevocably waives any claim that any such suit, action or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. |

THE COMPANY AND THE PURCHASER HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING (I) TO ENFORCE OR DEFEND ANY RIGHTS UNDER OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, OR (II) ARISING FROM ANY DISPUTE OR CONTROVERSY IN CONNECTION WITH OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION OR COUNTERCLAIM SHALL BE TRIED BEFORE A COURT AND NOT BEFORE A JURY. |
8.10 Remedies. In addition to being entitled to exercise all rights provided herein or granted by law, including recovery of damages, the Purchaser will be entitled to specific performance under the Purchase Documents.

8.11 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the liability of the Purchaser arising directly or indirectly, under any Transaction Document of any and every nature whatsoever shall be satisfied solely out of the assets of such Purchaser, and that no trustee, officer, other investment vehicle or any other Affiliate of such Purchaser or any investor, partner, shareholder or holder of shares of beneficial interest of such Purchaser shall be personally liable for any liabilities of such Purchaser. |
8.12 Severability. Whenever possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law in any jurisdiction, such provision shall be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating any other provision of this Agreement. |
8.13 Headings. Article, section and subsection headings in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and shall not constitute a part of this Agreement for any other purpose. |
8.14 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and by any party hereto on separate counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be an original, but all such counterparts shall together constitute one and the same instrument. |
8.15 Integration. This Agreement and the other Purchase Documents set forth the entire understanding of the parties hereto with respect to all matters contemplated hereby and supersede all previous agreements and understandings among them concerning such matters. No statements or agreements, oral or written, made prior to or at the signing hereof, shall vary, waive or modify the written terms hereof. |
8.16 Independent Nature of Purchaser Obligations and Rights. Each Purchaser acknowledges that it has sole responsibility for its own due diligence investigation and its own investment decision and that in connection with its investigation and its investment decision (i) such Purchaser has not relied on any representation by or on behalf of the Company not set forth in the SEC Reports or in this Agreement, and (ii) such Purchaser has not relied on the fact that any other Person has decided to invest in the Offering. |

First Amendment to |
|
WHEREAS, ADS Media Group, Inc. (the "Company"), Xxxxx X. "Dub" Xxxxx and Xxxxx D "Xxx" Xxxxxx (the Principal Shareholders"), Roaring Fork Capital SBIC, L.P. and the other persons set forth on the signature page (collectively, the "Purchasers") entered into a Common Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement effective as of June 16, 2006 (the "Agreement"); and |
|
WHEREAS, the partners desire to amend certain portions of the Agreement. |
|
The parties hereto, in consideration of the premises and their mutual covenants and agreements herein set forth and intending to be legally bound hereby, covenant and agree as follows: |
|
Section 6.4(b) is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following substituted therefor: |
|
(b) Issuances to Optionees. Issue to employees or consultants shares of Common Stock (except pursuant to exercises of options granted prior to the Closing Date and except pursuant to options to purchase 5,301,681 shares at $0.13 per share to be issued to the employees on or about the Closing Date as set forth in Schedule 3.1(c)(viii)) or Options in excess of an amount equal to 40% of the Common Stock outstanding immediately after the final closing of the Offering (21,035,266 shares if all of the securities are sold in the Offering) (the "Option Pool"), of which 20% of the Option Pool (4,207,054 shares if all of the securities are sold in the Offering) would be available for grant to existing and new employees other than executive management only, without first obtaining the consent of the then holders of a majority of Registrable Securities. Such consent will not be necessary if: (i) the Common Stock trades on Nasdaq or a national securities exchange at a price above $.50 for a period of 30 consecutive Trading Days and the average daily per share volume of the Common Stock on Nasdaq or the exchange for the 30 Trading Days is in excess of 200,000 shares; and (ii) a current registration statement is then in effect for the resale of the Purchaser's Common Stock and the Underlying Common Stock. Options to purchase an aggregate maximum of 80% of the Option Pool (16,828,212 shares if all of the securities are sold in the Offering) shares will be available for grants to the Principal Shareholders based on obtaining specific milestones as set forth in the Milestone Schedule attached hereto. The option agreements for the Options granted to the Principal Shareholders may not be amended without the consent of the holders of a majority of Registrable Securities. |
|
The following Section 6.4(d) is added as follows: |
|
(d) Issuances of Debt or Senior Securities. Authorize or issue, or obligated itself to issue, any other equity security of the Company (including any debt instrument or security convertible into or exercisable for any equity security) senior to the Common Stock as to dividend rights, redemption rights, conversion rights, liquidation preferences, voting rights or protective rights, without first obtaining the consent of the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities. |
|
Except as modified by this First Amendment, all terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without modification. |
|
This First Amendment may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered will be deemed an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same Agreement. |
|
Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. |
|
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this First Amendment effective as of the 16th day of June, 2006. |
