(b) Modifications to PST Documents GTC and DEF.
(i) No Registration Rights. Sections 6.1 through 6.3 of PST Document GTC are hereby deleted such that the Purchaser shall not have any registration rights except for the piggyback registration rights set forth in Section 6.4 thereof. Notwithstanding the definition of “Registrable Securities” contained in PST Document DEF, Registrable Securities shall not include any Shares or Underlying Shares to the extent such securities may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 after six (6) months so long as the Purchaser is not considered an affiliate of the Company for purposes of 144 and the Company remains subject to, and in compliance with, the filing requirements under Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange Act. To the extent any Registrable Securities are registered under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 6.4 of PST Document GTC, the Purchaser shall have the same rights and obligations as the other selling stockholders in the Registration Statement except to the extent otherwise provided in PST Document GTC and except that the Purchaser shall not be entitled to the liquidated damages, if any, granted to such other selling stockholders unless otherwise agreed by the Company. Notwithstanding the registration obligations set forth in this Section 6.4 of PST Document GTC, in the event the SEC informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the registration cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale on such registration statement, the Company agrees to promptly inform Purchaser and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the registration statement as required by the SEC covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities that are permitted to be registered by the SEC (in light of the other securities that are included in such registration), and the limitation on the number of Registrable Securities included in a registration as a result of the application of Rule 415 shall not be deemed to be a breach of any provision of this Agreement, provided that the allocation of securities under such Registration Statement shall be subject to the priority piggyback registration rights of Eses Holdings (FZE), a limited liability company. Without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, the Company shall not file any registration statement under the Securities Act prior to, or grant to any Person the right to have Company securities registered for resale under the Securities Act prior to, the date which is six (6) months following the Closing Date (other than a registration statement pursuant to an Additional Financing and other than a registration statement on Form S-8 in connection with securities issued to employees or directors pursuant to duly adopted equity incentive plans).
