WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend the Stockholders’ Voting Agreement dated as of December 22, 2005, as amended on February 3, 2006 (the “Voting Agreement”), by and among the Company, the Holders and the Investors;

WHEREAS, the undersigned Investors represent the holders of at least a majority in interest of the outstanding Conversion Shares; and

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained and other valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.               Section 3.3(a) of the Voting Agreement shall be amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

 

“This Agreement shall terminate (i) upon the completion of a firm commitment underwritten public offering of shares of Common Stock approved by the Board of Directors of the Company or (ii) immediately prior to the consummation of any consolidation or merger of the Company into or with any other entity or entities (except a consolidation or merger with or into a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, or except a consolidation or a merger in which the Company’s voting shares outstanding immediately prior to such transaction continue to represent a majority by voting power of the voting shares of the corporation outstanding immediately following the transaction).”

 

2.               Entire Agreement. This Amendment and the Voting Agreement (including any and all exhibits, schedules and other instruments contemplated hereby and thereby) constitute the entire agreement among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all prior agreements and understandings between them or any of them as to such subject matter. Except as amended by this Amendment, the Voting Agreement remains in full force and effect.

 

3.               Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the State of Delaware, without giving effect to the principles of the conflicts of laws thereof.

 



 

4.               Severability. If any provision of this Amendment shall be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such illegality, invalidity or unenforceability shall attach only to such provision and shall not in any manner affect or render illegal, invalid or unenforceable any other provision of this Amendment, and this Amendment shall be carried out as if any such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision were not contained herein.
