All capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

 

B.            Pursuant to Section 3.1(a)(ii) of the Agreement, during the period from the date that is six (6) months after the date of the Closing until the date that is one (1) year after the date of the Closing, each Stockholder is restricted from making any disposition of more than an aggregate of twenty-five percent (25%) of the Shares and Registrable Securities held by such Stockholder as of October 27, 2011 (with such restriction referred to as the “Resale Restriction”).

 

C.            Pursuant to Section 5.6 of the Agreement, the Agreement may be amended or modified, and the obligations of the Company and the rights of the Holders under the Agreement may be waived, only upon the written consent of the Company and the holders of a majority of the then-outstanding Registrable Securities. As of the date hereof, GA Investor holds a majority of the outstanding Registrable Securities.

 

D.            The Company has agreed to waive the Resale Restriction in connection with a proposed public offering of the Registrable Securities by certain Stockholders pursuant to the Company’s Registration Statement on Form S-3 (Registration Statement No. 333-179553), filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”), on February 16, 2012, as amended on March 13, 2012, May 2, 2012 and May 4, 2012 and declared effective by the Commission on May 7, 2012 (the “Registration Statement”) and the related resale prospectus included in the Registration Statement (the “Base Prospectus”), and the prospectus supplement relating to the Registrable Securities initially filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) promulgated under the Act on or about May 7, 2012 (the “Prospectus Supplement” and, together with the Base Prospectus, the “Prospectus”).
