Registration Rights Agreements
Summary
Summit Global Logistics, Inc. and certain investors have agreed to amend their existing Registration Rights Agreement. The amendment updates definitions, changes deadlines for SEC registration filings, and adjusts how shares are counted for registration purposes. In exchange for these changes and the waiver of penalties for past missed deadlines, the company will issue $2 million in new secured convertible notes to the investors. The waiver applies only to past failures, not future ones. All future transferees of the securities must also agree to these amended terms.

The descriptive headings of the various sections of this Amendment are inserted for convenience of reference only and shall not be deemed to affect the meaning or construction of any of the provisions hereof or thereof.

(d) This Amendment and the Registration Rights Agreement may not be changed, amended, restated, waived, supplemented, discharged, canceled, terminated or otherwise modified orally or by any course of dealing or in any manner other than as provided in the Registration Rights Agreement.

There are no unwritten oral agreements between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof or thereof. (f) The validity of this Amendment, its construction, interpretation and enforcement, the rights of the parties hereunder, shall be determined under, governed by, and construed in accordance with the choice of law provisions set forth in the Registration Rights Agreement. (g) The obligations of each Holder hereunder are several and not joint with the obligations of any other Holder, and no Holder shall be responsible in any way for the performance of the obligations of any other Holder hereunder. Nothing contained herein, and no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a group in respect of such obligations or the transactions contemplated hereby and the Company acknowledges that the Holders are not acting in concert or as a group in respect of such obligations or the transactions contemplated by this Amendment or the Registration Rights Agreement. Each Holder confirms that it has independently participated in the negotiation of the transaction contemplated by this Amendment and the Registration Rights Agreement with the advice of its own counsel and advisors, that it has independently determined to enter into the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, that it is not relying on any advice from or evaluation by any other Holder, and that it is not acting in concert with any other Holder in making its purchase of Securities hereunder or in monitoring its investment in the Company. The Holders and, to its knowledge, the Company agree that no action taken by any Holder pursuant hereto or to Registration Rights Agreement, shall be deemed to constitute the Holders as a partnership, an association, a joint venture or any other kind of entity or group, or create a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or would deem such Holders to be members of a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act. The Holders each confirm that they have not agreed to act together for the purpose of acquiring, holding, voting or disposing of equity securities of the Company. The Company has elected to provide all Holders with the same terms and this Amendment for the convenience of the Company and not because it was required or requested to do so by any of the Holders. The Company acknowledges that such procedure in respect of the Amendment in no way creates a presumption that the Holders are in any way acting in concert or as a "group" for purposes of Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act in respect of this Amendment or the transactions contemplated hereby. Except as otherwise set forth herein or in the Transaction Documents (as defined in the Securities Purchase Agreement), each Holder shall be entitled to independently protect and enforce its rights, including, without limitation, the rights arising out of this Amendment, or out of the Registration Rights Agreement, its Note, its Warrant and the right of set-off under the Guaranties, and it shall not be necessary for any other Holder to be joined as an additional party in any proceeding for such purpose.
