Accredited Investor Status The Buyer is an “accredited investor” as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D (an “Accredited Investor”).

Transfers to Non-QIB Institutional Accredited Investors The following provisions shall apply with respect to the registration of any proposed transfer of a Note to any Institutional Accredited Investor which is not a QIB (excluding Non-U.S. Persons):
Qualified Small Business Stock The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause the shares of Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, as well as any shares into which such shares are converted, within the meaning of Section 1202(f) of the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”), to constitute “qualified small business stock” as defined in Section 1202(c) of the Code; provided, however, that such requirement shall not be applicable if the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in its good-faith business judgment, that such qualification is inconsistent with the best interests of the Company. The Company shall submit to its stockholders (including the Investors) and to the Internal Revenue Service any reports that may be required under Section 1202(d)(1)(C) of the Code and the regulations promulgated thereunder. In addition, within twenty (20) business days after any Investor’s written request therefor, the Company shall, at its option, either (i) deliver to such Investor a written statement indicating whether (and what portion of) such Investor’s interest in the Company constitutes “qualified small business stock” as defined in Section 1202(c) of the Code or (ii) deliver to such Investor such factual information in the Company’s possession as is reasonably necessary to enable such Investor to determine whether (and what portion of) such Investor’s interest in the Company constitutes “qualified small business stock” as defined in Section 1202(c) of the Code.
Registration on Request (i) At any time (x) after the third anniversary of the date of the Closing, upon the written request of Shareholders holding in the aggregate 40% of all Registrable Securities then held by Shareholders (assuming for this purpose exercise of all outstanding Warrants) or (y) after an initial public offering, upon the written request of Shareholders holding in the aggregate 10% of all Registrable Securities then held by Shareholders (assuming for this purpose the exercise of all outstanding Warrants) (such Shareholders being referred to as the “Requesting Holders”), the Requesting Holders may request that the Company either (i) effect the registration under the Securities Act for an underwritten public offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by them (the “Single Registration Option”), (ii) effect the registration of all or any of their Registrable Securities by filing a registration statement under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) which provides for the sale by the Requesting Holders of their Registrable Securities from time to time in underwritten public offerings pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Option”), or (iii) permit the sale of Registrable Securities that are already included in an effective Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to an underwritten public offering (the “Takedown Option”); provided, however, that the Requesting Holders may not elect the Shelf Option or the Takedown Option if the request thereunder is in connection with or would constitute an initial public offering. Upon receipt of such request, the Company will promptly give written notice to all other holders of Registrable Securities (the “Other Holders”) that a request for registration or for a takedown has been received. For a period of 10 days (or two Business Days in the case of a Takedown Option request) following receipt of such notice, the Other Holders may request that the Company also register their Registrable Securities (or include Registrable Securities in such takedown) and the Company may determine to include its authorized and unissued securities in such registration or takedown. The failure of any Other Holder to affirmatively indicate its intent to include its Registrable Securities in such registration or takedown shall be deemed a waiver of any right to so include such Registrable Securities in such registration statement or takedown. After the expiration of such 10-day period or two-Business Day period, as the case may be, the Company shall notify all holders of the number of Registrable Securities to be registered or included. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, in the case of either the Single Registration Option or the Shelf Option, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the prompt registration under the Securities Act of (A) the Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holders and the Other Holders have requested the Company to register, and (B) all other securities that the Company has determined to register, and in connection therewith will prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act to effect such registration. Such registration statement shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Company, and such selection shall be reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the aggregate Registrable Securities to be sold by the Requesting Holders. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, in the case of a Takedown Option, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such underwritten public offering and shall prepare and file any prospectus supplement reasonably necessary to effectuate a takedown. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to file a registration statement or proceed with a takedown in any of the following situations:
