In such event, the shares of Common Stock and other securities to be included in such offering shall consist of (i) first, all of the Registrable Securities that the Holders propose to sell pursuant to Section 4 or 5, all of the Series A Registrable Securities that the Series A Preferred Stockholders propose to sell pursuant to Section 4 or 5 of the Series A Registration Rights Agreement and all of the FD Registrable Common Shares that the FD Holders propose to sell pursuant to Section 3 or 4 of the FD Registration Rights Agreement (with any reduction in such number being allocated among the Holders, the Series A Preferred Stockholders and the FD Holders pro-rata based on the number, as of the date of delivery of the first Cutback Notice delivered to the Holders, the Series A Preferred Stockholders and the FD Holders in connection with such offering, of shares of Common Stock represented by the Registrable Securities, the Series A Registrable Securities or the FD Registrable Common Shares, as the case may be, requested by the Holders, the Series A Preferred Stockholders and the FD Holders to be included in such offering, calculated on an as-converted basis assuming that all of the Registrable Securities of the Holders and all of the Series A Registrable Securities

In connection with the inclusion of Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 5(a) in any such offering by the Company, if the lead managing underwriter in an Underwritten Offering delivers a Cutback Notice to the Company (it being understood that the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable deliver copies of any such notice to all Holders who have requested to include Registrable Securities in such offering) or (if the offering shall not be an Underwritten Offering) the Company delivers a Cutback Notice to the Holders, then the Company shall include in such offering, in addition to the securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account, only the aggregate number of securities that, in the reasonable and good faith opinion of such lead managing underwriter or (if the offering shall not be an Underwritten Offering) the Company, can be included without having an Adverse Offering Effect.

-5-

the Holders and all of the Series A Registrable Securities of the Series A Preferred Stockholders requested to be so included that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock are converted into or exercised for Common Stock as of such date. No other securities shall be included in such offering except to the extent that, in the reasonable and good faith opinion of such lead managing underwriter or (if the offering shall not be an Underwritten Offering) the Company, such securities can be included without having an Adverse Offering Effect.

(c) Other Offerings. In connection with any offering described in Section 5(a), other than an offering covered by a Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 4 of this Agreement, Section 4 of the Series A Registration Rights Agreement or Section 3 of the FD Registration Rights Agreement, or an offering by the Company for its own account, if the lead managing underwriter (if the offering shall be an Underwritten Offering) or the Initiating Securityholder (if the offering shall not be an Underwritten Offering) delivers a Cutback Notice to Company (it being understood that the Company shall as soon as reasonably practicable deliver copies of any such notice to all Holders who have requested to include Registrable Securities in such offering), then the Company shall include in such offering only the number of Registrable Securities, Series A Registrable Securities, FD Registrable Common Shares and Other Registrable Securities which, in the good faith opinion of such underwriter or the Initiating Securityholders, as the case may be, can be included without having an Adverse Offering Effect.

6. No Inconsistent Agreements; Most Favorable Provisions. Section 15 of the Agreement is hereby amended and replaced in its entirety to read as follows:

“15. No Inconsistent Agreements; Most Favorable Provisions. The Company is not currently a party to, and after the date hereof shall not enter into, any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders of Registrable Securities by this Agreement. The Holders agree for purposes of this Section 15 that (i) the Series A Registration Rights Agreement, as amended as of the date hereof by Amendment No. 1 and Amendment No. 2 thereto, and (ii) the FD Registration Rights Agreement in the form attached hereto as Exhibit B are not inconsistent with the rights of the Holders hereunder. If the Company shall (A) further amend the Series A Registration Rights Agreement, (B) amend the FD Registration Rights Agreement or (C) enter into any agreement after the date hereof with any other Person, in each case, pursuant to which the Series A Preferred Stockholders under the Series A Registration Rights Agreement, the FD Holders under the FD Registration Rights Agreement or such other Person under such other agreement, as the case may be, shall have registration rights with respect to any security of the Company that are materially more favorable to the Series A Preferred Stockholders, the FD Holders or such other Person, as the case may be, than those set forth in this Agreement, this Agreement shall thereupon, and without any further action on the part of any Holder or the Company, be deemed to be, and shall be, automatically amended to provide such materially more favorable rights to the Holders. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 15, this Section 15 shall not apply to, and shall not provide the Holders with any rights with respect to, any agreement relating to a Rule 144A Resale Shelf Registration.”

7. Assignment of Registration Rights. The first two sentences of Section 16 of the Agreement are hereby amended and replaced in their entirety to read as follows:

“The right to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement may be assigned (but only with all related obligations hereunder) by any Holder in connection with a transfer of such Registrable Securities to any transferee who, immediately following such transfer, holds at least 5% of then-outstanding Registrable Securities (calculated on an as-converted basis, assuming that all outstanding Registrable Securities that are convertible into or exercisable for Common Stock are converted into or exercised for Common Stock); provided that, as a condition to the effectiveness of such assignment, such transferee shall be required to execute a counterpart of this Agreement and each amendment to this Agreement. Upon such transferee’s execution of such counterparts, such transferee shall be deemed to be a Holder for all purposes of this Agreement and shall be entitled to the benefits of, and shall be subject to the restrictions contained in, this Agreement, as amended from time to time, as a Holder hereunder to the same extent as if such transferee had originally

-7-

been included in the definition of a Holder and had originally been a party hereto.”

8. Miscellaneous. This Amendment shall not constitute an amendment or modification of any provision of the Agreement not expressly referred to herein. Except as expressly set forth in this Amendment, the terms, provisions and conditions of the Agreement shall remain unchanged and in full force and effect. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, all of which shall together constitute a single agreement.

9. GOVERNING LAW. THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK WITHOUT GIVING EFFECT TO ITS PRINCIPLES OR RULES OF CONFLICT OF LAWS TO THE EXTENT SUCH PRINCIPLES OR RULES WOULD REQUIRE OR PERMIT THE APPLICATION OF THE LAWS OF ANOTHER JURISDICTION.
