of the Warrant Shares being registered, advises the prospective sellers in writing that the aggregate number of Warrant Shares and shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold in the proposed distribution by the Company and other security holders
should be less than the number of such shares requested to be registered by all prospective sellers, then the shares proposed or requested to be included in such registration shall be included in the following order: (a) first, all of the shares
proposed to be sold by the Person originally requesting such registration pursuant to this Section 5.2; (b) second, any securities being registered by the Company; (c) third, any shares proposed to be sold by any security holders exercising

prospective sellers; and (d) fourth, any other shares requested to be included in such registration other than pursuant to the exercise of demand or incidental registration rights. If such underwriter determines that the number of Shares of Common
Stock (including all Warrant Shares) proposed to be sold is insufficient to proceed with such registration or qualification, the Company shall immediately recapitalize its Common Stock to enable such registration and qualification to be completed as
such underwriter advises.

manage the distribution of the shares of Common Stock being registered, advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the inclusion of the Piggy-Back Shares with the securities being registered by the Company and/or other prospective sellers
would materially adversely affect the distribution of all such securities, then the shares proposed or requested to be included in such registration

shall be included in the following order: (a) first, all of the shares proposed to be sold by the Company, if the registration was initiated by the Company,
or by the security holders exercising demand registration rights, as the case may be; (b) second, the securities being registered by the Company, if the registration was not initiated by the Company; (c) third, any shares proposed to be sold by any
security holders exercising incidental registration rights (including without limitation any Piggy-Back Shares), pro rata based upon the ratio that the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by each such prospective seller bears to the
aggregate number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be sold by all such prospective sellers; and (d) fourth, any other shares requested to be included in such registration other than pursuant to the exercise of demand or incidental registration
rights. In the event that some or all of the Piggy-Back Shares proposed to be sold by prospective sellers are not included in such distribution, the Company shall use its best efforts to effect and maintain any such registration or qualification
under the Securities Act and the securities or blue sky laws of any jurisdiction as may be necessary to permit such prospective seller to make its proposed offering and sale following the end of a period not to exceed 90 days after the effective
date of such registration and shall pay all expenses related thereto in accordance with Section 5.4.



8. The Company represents and warrants that the information set forth in Exhibit 1 to this Amendment, setting forth the detail for the calculation of the
amounts set forth in Section 4 hereof, is true and correct. Exhibit 1, together with this Amendment, shall constitute the certificate described in Section 4.4(a) of the Warrant.

understandings, if any, relating to the subject matter hereof or thereof. Any promises, representations, warranties or guarantees not herein or therein contained and hereinafter made shall have no force and effect unless in writing, and executed by
