     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, each signatory hereby agrees as follows:
     1. Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement. Effective on the date of this Amendment, the following Persons are hereby removed from the definition of “Family Stockholders” and are thus no longer parties to the Registration Rights Agreement:

     3. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without giving effect to its principles and rules of conflict of laws to the extent such principles or rules would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction.
     4. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement.
     5. Severability. Any term or provision of this Amendment which is invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to that jurisdiction, be ineffective to the extent of such invalidity or unenforceability without rendering invalid or unenforceable the remaining terms and provisions of this Amendment or affecting the validity or enforceability of any of the terms or provisions of this Amendment in any other jurisdiction.
