The Issuer agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to be declared effective by the SEC within 90 days after the Closing Date, or 115 days after the Closing Date if the SEC reviews the registration statement.

The foregoing descriptions of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the full text of the Purchase Agreement and Registration Rights Agreement, which are incorporated as Exhibit 2 and Exhibit 3 to this Amendment No. 2, respectively, and incorporated herein by reference.

General

The Reporting Persons acquired the securities described in this Amendment No. 2 for investment purposes and intend to review the investments in the Issuer on a continuing basis. Any actions the Reporting Persons might undertake may be made at any time and from time to time without prior notice and will be dependent upon the Reporting Persons’ review of numerous factors, including, but not limited to: an ongoing evaluation of the Issuer’s business, financial condition, operations and prospects; price levels of the Issuer’s securities; general market, industry and economic conditions; the relative attractiveness of alternative business and investment opportunities; and other future developments.

The Reporting Persons, subject to certain provisions of the law, may acquire additional securities of the Issuer, or retain or sell all or a portion of the securities then held, in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions. In addition, the Reporting Persons may engage in discussions with management, the board of directors, and stockholders of the Issuer and other relevant parties or encourage, cause or seek to cause the Issuer or such persons to consider or explore extraordinary corporate transactions, such as: a merger, reorganization or take-private transaction that could result in the de-listing or de-registration of the Class A Common Stock; sales or acquisitions of assets or businesses; changes to the capitalization or dividend policy of the Issuer; or other material changes to the Issuer’s business or corporate structure, including changes in management or the composition of the board of directors.
