“3.3 Holdback Agreements. Except with respect to the Company’s Public Offering on its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-176097), in any registration of Registrable Securities in connection with an underwritten Public Offering, Goode and the other Stockholders will not effect any sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 or any successor provision under the Securities Act, of any Securities, and not effect any sale or distribution of any stock convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any shares of Common Stock of the Company (in each case, other than as part of such Public Offering) during the 14 days prior to the effective date of such registration statement or during the period after such effective date equal to the lesser of (a) such period of time as is agreed between such managing Underwriter and the Company and (b) 180 days. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Clint Shackelford will not be prohibited from effecting any sale of his Common Stock of the Company following the Company’s Public Offering on its Registration Statement on Form S-1 (Registration No. 333-176097).”

4. Defined Terms. Terms used but not otherwise defined in this Amendment have the meanings given to them in the Stockholders Agreement.

5. Counterparts.
