(b) Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 2.1, The Resolute Fund, L.P. shall not be entitled to designate any person to the Board of Directors (or any committee thereof) in the event that the Company receives a written opinion of its outside counsel that such designee would not be qualified under any applicable law, rule or regulation to serve as a director of the Company or if the Company objects to such designee because such designee has been involved in any of the events enumerated in Item 2(d) or (e) of Schedule 13D or such person is currently the target of an investigation by any governmental authority or agency relating to felonious criminal activity or is subject to any order, decree, or judgment of any court or agency prohibiting service as a director of any public company or providing investment or financial advisory services and, in any such event, The Resolute Fund, L.P. shall withdraw the designation of such proposed designee and designate a replacement therefor (which replacement designee shall also be subject to the requirements of this subsection (b)).

ARTICLE III

Registration Rights

Section 3.1 Demand Registrations.

(a) At any time and from time to time from and after the first anniversary of the Initial Public Offering, any Investor owning at least 10% of Common Stock on a fully-diluted basis or owning shares of Common Stock with an expected value in a registered public offering of at least $50 million may request (the “Requesting Shareholder”) in writing that the Company effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or part of such holder’s or holders’ Registrable Securities, specifying in the request the number and type of Registrable Securities to be registered by each such holder and the intended method of disposition thereof (such notice is hereinafter referred to as a “Holder Request”). Upon receipt of such Holder Request, the Company will promptly give written notice of such requested registration to all other holders of Registrable Securities, which other holders shall have the right to include the Registrable Securities held by them in such registration, and thereupon the Company will, as expeditiously as possible, use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of:

(i) the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by such Requesting Shareholder; and

(ii) all other Registrable Securities which the Company has been requested to register by any other holder thereof by written request given to the Company within 30 calendar days after the giving of such written notice by the Company (which request shall specify the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities), all to the extent necessary to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered;

provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement relating to any Holder Request under this Section 3.1(a):

(x) with regard to more than three Holder Requests by the Shareholders referenced above; provided, however, that any Holder Request as to which more than 5% of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered are excluded from registration pursuant to Section 3.1(g) shall not be considered a Holder Request for purposes of this Section 3.1(a)(ii)(x);

(y) unless the Company shall have received requests for such registration with respect to at least 10% of the shares of Common Stock then outstanding, and unless the aggregate purchase price of the Registrable Securities to be included in the requested registration (determined by reference to the offering price on the cover of the registration statement proposed to be filed) is greater than $50 million; or

(z) other than a registration statement on Form S-3 or a similar short form registration statement, within a period of 180 days after the effective date of

any other registration statement relating to any registration request under this Section 3.1(a) that was not effected on Form S-3 (or any similar short form);

provided, further, however, that the Company may postpone for not more than 90 calendar days, on one occasion only with respect to each request for registration made under this Section 3.1(a), the filing or effectiveness of a registration statement under this Section 3.1(a) if the Company believes that such registration might reasonably be expected to have an adverse effect on any proposal or plan by the Company to engage in any acquisition of assets (other than in the ordinary course of business) or any merger, consolidation, tender offer of similar transaction; provided, that in such event, the Requesting Shareholder will be entitled to withdraw such request, and if such request is withdrawn such registration will not count as one of the permitted registrations under this Section 3.1. In any event, the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated under this Section 3.1.

(b) If the Company proposes to effect a registration requested pursuant to this Section 3.1 by the filing of a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any similar short-form registration statement), the Company will comply with any request by the Managing Underwriter to effect such registration on another permitted form if such Managing Underwriter advises the Company that, in its opinion, the use of another form of registration statement is of material importance of such proposed offering.

(c) A registration requested pursuant to Section 3.1(a) will not be deemed to have been effected unless it has become effective; provided, that if after it has become effective, the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or other governmental agency or court, such registration will be deemed not to have been effected.

(d) The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each of the registrations of Registrable Securities effected by it pursuant to this Section 3.1.

(e) The Company shall have the right to select the Managing Underwriter, provided, that such Managing Underwriter is reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold in an Underwritten Offering.

(f) In connection with any offering pursuant to this Section 3.1, the only shares that may be included in such offering are (i) Registrable Securities, and (ii) authorized but unissued shares of Common Stock that the Company elects to include in such offering (“Company Securities”).

(g) If in connection with any Underwritten Offering pursuant to this Section 3.1 the Managing Underwriter shall advise the Company that, in its judgment, the number of shares proposed to be included in such offering should be limited due to market conditions, then the Company will promptly so advise each holder of Registrable Securities that has requested registration and shares shall be excluded from such offering in the following order until the number of shares to be included in such offering has been reduced to a level acceptable to the Managing Underwriter: any Company Securities requested to be registered, if any, shall be

excluded until all such Registrable Securities have been excluded; and thereafter the Registrable Securities requested by any holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering shall be excluded pro rata, based on the respective number of Registrable Securities as to which registration has been so requested by such Persons.

Section 3.2 Piggyback Registrations.

(a) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act (other than a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms thereto and other than pursuant to a registration under Section 3.1), whether or not for sale for its own account, on a form and in a manner that would permit registration of Registrable Securities for sale to the public under the Securities Act, it will give written notice to all the holders of Registrable Securities promptly of its intention to do so, describing such securities and specifying the form and manner and the other relevant facts involved in such proposed registration (including, without limitation, (x) whether or not such registration will be in connection with an Underwritten Offering of Registrable Securities and, if so, the identity of the Managing Underwriter and whether such offering will be pursuant to a “best efforts” or “firm commitment” underwriting and (y) the price (net of any underwriting commissions, discounts and the like) at which the Registrable Securities are reasonably expected to be sold). Upon the written request of any such holder delivered to the Company within 30 calendar days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company will use commercially reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all of the Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register; provided, however, that:

(i) If, at any time after giving such written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Securities who made a request as herein above provided and thereupon the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights, of Requesting Holders to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 3.1.

(ii) If such registration involves an Underwritten Offering, all holders of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected by the Company on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company, provided, however, that such holders shall not be required to make any representations about the Company’s business and will not be required to indemnify the underwriters for an amount which exceeds the net proceeds received by such holder.

No registration effected under this Section 3.2 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect registration upon request under Section 3.1.

(b) The Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 3.2 incidental to the registration of any of its securities in connection with mergers, acquisitions, exchange offers, dividend reinvestment plans or stock option or other employee benefit plans.

(c) The Registration Expenses incurred in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 3.2 shall be paid by the Company.

(d) If a registration pursuant to this Section 3.2 involves an Underwritten Offering and the Managing Underwriter advises the issuer that, in its opinion, the number of securities proposed to be included in such registration should be limited due to market conditions, then the Company will include in such registration (i) the securities the Company proposes to sell and (ii) the number of Registrable Securities requested by holders thereof to be included in such registration that, in the opinion of such Managing Underwriter, can be sold, such amount to be allocated among all such holders of Registrable Securities pro rata on the basis of the respective number of Registrable Securities each such holder has requested to be included in such registration.

(e) In connection with any Underwritten Offering with respect to which holders of Registrable Securities shall have requested registration pursuant to this Section 3.2, the Company shall have the right to select the Managing Underwriter with respect to the offering; provided, that such Managing Underwriter is reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities requested to be sold in such Underwritten Offering.

Section 3.3 Registration Procedures.

(a) If and whenever the Company is required to effect or cause the registration of any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act as provided in Section 3.1 or 3.2, the Company will, as expeditiously as possible:

(i) Prepare and, in any event within 60 calendar days after the end of the period within which requests for registration may be given to the Company, (or in the event that the Company has postponed a registration statement pursuant to Section 3.1(a), not later than 30 days after the date to which the Company postponed such registration statement), file with the Commission a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such registration statement to become and remain effective; provided, that in the case of a registration provided for in Section 3.1 or 3.2, before filing a registration statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereof, the Company will furnish to one counsel selected by the Resolute Investors copies of all such documents proposed to be filed, which documents will be subject to the review of such counsel; and, provided, further, that the Company may discontinue any registration of its securities that is being effected pursuant to Section 3.2 at any time prior to the effective date of the registration statement relating thereto in accordance with the terms hereof.

(ii) Prepare and file with the Commission such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus

used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for at least nine months (or until all the shares are sold) and to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all shares of Common Stock covered by such registration statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the seller or sellers thereof set forth in such registration statement.

(iii) Furnish to each holder of Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement and to each underwriter, if any, of such Registrable Securities, such number of copies of a final prospectus and preliminary prospectus for delivery in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents, as such Person may reasonably request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities.

(iv) Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as each seller shall reasonably request, and do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such seller to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such seller, in such jurisdictions, except that the Company shall not for any such purpose be required (A) to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of this Section 3.3(a)(iv), it is not then so qualified, or (B) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (C) to take any action which would subject it to general or unlimited service of process in any such jurisdiction where it is not then so subject.

(v) Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the seller or sellers thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities.

(vi) Immediately notify each seller of Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act within the appropriate period mentioned in Section 3.3(a)(ii), if the Company becomes aware that the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing, and, at the request of any such seller, promptly deliver a reasonable number of copies of an amended or supplemental prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing.

(vii) Otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC and make generally available to its security

holders, in each case as soon as practicable, but not later than 45 calendar days after the close of the period covered thereby (90 calendar days in case the period covered corresponds to a fiscal year of the Company), an earnings statement of the Company which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act.

(viii) Use its commercially reasonable best efforts in cooperation with the underwriters to list such Registrable Securities on each securities exchange or NASDAQ as they may reasonably designate.

(ix) In the event the offering is an Underwritten Offering, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to obtain a “cold comfort” letter from the independent public accountants for the Company and a legal opinion letter from counsel to the Company, each in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by such letters.

(x) Execute and deliver all instruments and documents (including in an Underwritten Offering an underwriting agreement in customary form) and take such other actions and obtain such certificates and opinions in order to effect an underwritten Public Offering of such Registrable Securities.

(xi) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereto and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

(b) Each holder of Registrable Securities will, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 3.3(a)(vi), forthwith discontinue disposition of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement covering such Registrable Securities until such holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 3.3(a)(vi).

(c) In connection with the Company’s initial Public Offering, each Shareholder agrees, whether or not such Shareholder’s Shares are included in such registration, not to effect any public sale or distribution, including any sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, of any shares of Common Stock, or of any security convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for Common Stock (other than as part of such Underwritten Offering), without the consent of the Managing Underwriter, during a period commencing seven calendar days before and ending 180 calendar days (or such lesser number as the Managing Underwriter shall designate) after the effective date of such registration.

(d) If a registration pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 involves an Underwritten Offering, the Company agrees, if so required by the Managing Underwriter, not to effect any public sale or distribution of any of its equity securities, as the case may be, or securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any of such equity securities, as the case may be, during a period commencing seven calendar days before and ending 180 calendar days after the effective date of such registration, except for such Underwritten Offering or except in connection with a registration statement with respect to a stock option plan, stock purchase plan, savings or similar plan, or an acquisition, merger or exchange offer.

(e) If a registration pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2 involves an Underwritten Offering, any holder of Registrable Securities requesting to be included in such registration may elect, in writing, prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, not to register such securities in connection with such registration, unless such holder has agreed with the Company or the Managing Underwriter to limit its rights under this Section 3.3.

(f) It is understood that in any Underwritten Offering, in addition to any shares of Common Stock (the “Initial Shares”) the underwriters have committed to purchase, the underwriting agreement may grant the underwriters an option to purchase up to a number of additional shares of authorized but unissued Common Stock (the “Option Shares”) equal to up to 15% of the initial shares (or such other maximum amount as the NASD may then permit), solely to cover over-allotments. Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Company and the other sellers shall be allocated between Initial Shares and Option Shares as agreed by the Company and such other sellers or, in the absence of agreement, pursuant to Section 3.1(g) or 3.2(d), as the case may be. The number of Initial Shares and Option Shares to be sold by requesting holders shall be allocated pro rata among all such holders on the basis of the relative number of shares of Registrable Securities each such holder has requested to be included in such registration.

Section 3.4 Indemnification.

(a) In the event of any registration of any securities of the Company under the Securities Act pursuant to Section 3.1 or 3.2, the Company will, and it hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless, to the extent permitted by law, each seller of any Shares covered by such registration statement, such seller’s directors and officers or general and limited partners, each other Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of such securities and each other Person, if any, who controls such seller or any such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, as follows:

(i) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage or expense (joint or several) whatsoever arising out of or based upon (x) an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any registration statement (including any preliminary or final prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto), including all documents incorporated therein by reference; (y) the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading; or (z) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or any state securities law.

(ii) against any and all loss, liability, claim, damage and expense whatsoever to the extent of the aggregate amount paid in settlement of any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or of any claim whatsoever based upon any such untrue statement or omission, or any such alleged

untrue statement or omission, if such settlement is effected with the written consent of the Company; and

(iii) against any and all expense reasonably incurred by such seller in connection with investigating, preparing or defending against any litigation, or investigation or proceeding by any governmental agency or body, commenced or threatened, or any claim whatsoever based upon the circumstances set forth in clauses (x), (y) and (z) above, to the extent that any such expense is not paid under subparagraph (i) or (ii) above;

provided, however, that this indemnity does not apply to any loss, liability, claim, damage or expense to the extent arising out of an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of any such seller expressly for use in the preparation of any registration statement (or any amendment thereto) or any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto); and provided, further, that the Company will not be liable to any Person who participates as an underwriter in the offering or sale of Shares or any other Person, if any, who controls such underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act, under the indemnity agreement in this Section 3.4(a) with respect to any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus or final prospectus as amended or supplemented, as the case may be, to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability of such underwriter or controlling Person results from the fact that such underwriter sold Shares to a Person to whom there was not sent or given, at or prior to the written confirmation of such sale, a copy of the final prospectus or of the final prospectus as then amended or supplemented, whichever is most recent, if the Company has previously furnished copies thereof to such underwriter. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such seller or any such director, officer, general or limited partner, investment advisor or agent, underwriter or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.

(b) The Company may require, as a condition to including any Shares in any registration statement filed in accordance with Section 3.1 or 3.2, that the Company shall have received an undertaking in customary form from the prospective seller of such Shares or any underwriter, to indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in Section 3.4(a)) the Company with respect to any statement or alleged statement in or omission or alleged omission from such registration statement, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such seller or underwriter specifically stating that it is for use in the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment or supplement. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Company or any such director, officer or controlling Person and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such seller.

The obligations of the Company and such sellers pursuant to this Section 3.4 are to be several and not joint; provided, however, that with respect to each claim pursuant to this Section, the Company shall be liable for the full amount of such claim, and each such seller’s liability under this Section 3.4 shall be limited to an amount equal to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriting discount and expenses) received by such seller from the sale of Shares held by such seller pursuant to such registration statement.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party hereunder of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a claim referred to in this Section 3.4, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to such indemnifying party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any indemnified party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 3.4, except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, unless in such indemnified party’s reasonable judgment a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim (in which case the indemnifying party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one firm of counsel in each jurisdiction for a majority of the sellers of Shares, or more than one firm of counsel in each jurisdiction for the underwriters in connection with any one action or separate but similar or related actions), the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similar notified, to the extent that it may wish with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnifying party in connection with the defense thereof.

(d) The Company and each seller of Shares shall provide for the foregoing indemnity in any underwriting agreement with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority.

Section 3.5 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances under which the indemnity contemplated by Section 3.4 is for any reason not available, the parties required to indemnify by the terms thereof shall contribute to the aggregate losses, liabilities, claims, damages and expenses of the nature contemplated by such indemnity agreement incurred by the Company, any seller of Shares and one or more of the underwriters, except to the extent that contribution is not permitted under Section 11(f) of the Securities Act. In determining the amounts which the respective parties shall contribute, there shall be considered the relative benefits received by each party from the offering of the Shares (taking into account the portion of the proceeds of the offering realized by each), the parties’ relative knowledge and access to information concerning the matter with respect to which the claim was asserted, the opportunity to correct and prevent any statement or omission and any other equitable considerations appropriate under the circumstances. The Company and each Person selling securities agree with each other that no seller of Shares shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount such seller would have been required to pay to an indemnified party if the indemnity under Section 3.4(b) were available. The Company and each such seller agree with each other and the underwriters of the Shares, if requested by such underwriters, that

it would not be equitable if the amount of such contribution were determined by pro rata or per capita allocation (even if the underwriters were treated as one entity for such purpose) or for the underwriters’ portion of such contribution to exceed the percentage that the underwriting discount bears to the initial Public Offering price of the Shares. For purposes of this Section 3.5, each Person, if any, who controls an underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as such underwriter, and each director and each officer of the Company who signed the registration statement, and each Person, if any, who controls the Company or a seller of Shares within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act shall have the same rights to contribution as the Company or a seller of Shares, as the case may be.

Section 3.6 Rule 144. If the Company shall have filed a registration statement pursuant to the requirements of Section 12 of the Exchange Act or a registration statement pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act, the Company covenants that it will file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the Commission thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, make publicly available other information), and it will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such holder to sell shares of Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the request of any holder of Registrable Securities, the Company will deliver to such holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Section 3.7 Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights. The Company shall not enter into any agreement (other than this Agreement) with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company which grant such holder or prospective holder rights to include securities of the Company in a registration statement, unless such rights to include securities in a registration initiated by the Company or by Shareholders that are not superior or prior to the rights of the Shareholders.

Section 3.8 Other Provisions Regarding Registration Rights.

(a) Except as provided in this Agreement as it may be amended from time to time in accordance with the express terms hereof, and until the consummation of a Public Distribution, the Company will not grant to any Person the right to request that the Company register any equity securities of the Company, or any securities convertible or exchangeable into or exercisable for such securities.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any previous agreement or security, the Company shall have no obligations to any Shareholder with respect to the registration of any Shares, except as provided in this Agreement.
