Item 1.01          Entry into a Material Definitive Agreement.

 

First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement

 

On January 4, 2006, NEON Systems, Inc. (the “Company”) entered into a First Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (the “Amendment”) with CSFT Holdings, Inc. (f/k/a ClientSoft, Inc.) (“CSFT”), which amended that certain Registration Rights Agreement dated as of December 13, 2004 between the Company and CSFT (“Registration Rights Agreement”).  The Registration Rights Agreement originally required the Company to use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and cause to be filed a registration statement on Form S-3 as soon as practicable following the Company’s filing of its annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2005 covering the shares of Common Stock of the Company issuable upon exercise of that certain Warrant to purchase 1,125,000 shares of the Common Stock (the “Warrant”) held by CSFT.  The Amendment provides that the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to prepare and cause to be filed such registration statement on or before February 15, 2006.  In addition, the Amendment eliminates the Company’s right to postpone the filing or the effectiveness of such registration statement for a period of up to sixty (60) days if the Company determines in good faith that the filing or effectiveness would require the disclosure of information that could be materially detrimental to the Company or its stockholders.
