     “(s) Termination of Registration Rights. The right of any Investor to be notified of or request registration or inclusion of Registrable Securities in any registration pursuant to Section 3 or Section 4 shall terminate upon the earlier of such time as Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another similar exemption under the Securities Act is available for the sale of all of such Investor’s shares without limitation during a three-month period without registration.”
     2. Section 11(b) of the Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
     “(b) Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be amended or modified and the observance of any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, and either retroactively or prospectively) only by a written agreement executed by the Company and the holders of at least 66.67% of the Common Stock issued upon conversion of the Preferred Stock that have not been previously sold and are not able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act or another similar exemption under the Securities Act without limitation during a three-month period without registration.”
     3. Section 11(d) of the Agreement is amended and restated to read in its entirety as follows:
     “(d) Benefit of Parties; Assignability. All of the terms and provisions of this Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns, including without limitation all subsequent holders of securities entitled to the benefits of this Agreement who agree in writing to become bound by the terms of this Agreement within two business days after first becoming a holder of securities entitled to the benefits of this Agreement; provided, however, the Company may not delegate its responsibilities or assign its rights under this Agreement
