A holder or holders of at least a majority of the registrable securities may require the Issuer to prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act at the Issuer’s expense covering all or a portion of the registrable securities if the Shares to be included in that registration will generate anticipated aggregate net proceeds of at least $5.0 million. Registration rights terminate no later than five years after the Issuer’s initial public offering. Registration of these Shares under the Securities Act would result in these Shares becoming freely tradable without restriction under the Securities Act. This Registration Rights Agreement was amended to amend and clarify the operative dates relating to the registration and share sale restriction processes. This description of the Registration Rights Agreement, as amended, is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Registration Rights Agreement entered into between LECG Holding Company, LLC, TCEP/LECG Funding Corporation, David J. Teece, David Kaplan, Frog & Peach Investors, LLC and other persons, and the amendment thereto, copies of which have been incorporated herein by reference to Exhibits 4 and 5.
