For purposes of Sections 11.1(i) and 11.1(ii) hereof, the definition of Registrable Securities shall not include Securities (A) which are registered for resale in an effective registration statement, (B) which are included for registration in a pending registration statement, (C) which have been issued without further transfer restrictions after a sale or transfer pursuant to Rule 144 under the 1933 Act or (D) which may be resold under Rule 144 without volume limitations but not giving effect to the cashless exercise feature of the Warrants. Upon the receipt of such written request, the Company shall promptly give written notice to all other record holders (as of the date of delivery of such written notice) of the Registrable Securities that such registration statement is to be filed and shall include in such registration statement Registrable Securities for which it has received written requests within ten (10) days after the Company gives such written notice. Such other requesting record holders shall be deemed to have exercised their demand registration right under this Section 11.1(i). (ii) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the 1933 Act for sale to the public, whether for its own account or for the account of other security holders or both, except with respect to registration statements on Forms X-0, X-0 or another form not available for registering the Registrable Securities for sale to the public, provided the Registrable Securities are not otherwise registered for resale by the Subscribers or Holder pursuant to an effective registration statement, each such time it will give at least ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the record holders (as of the date of delivery of such written notice) of the Registrable Securities of its intention so to do. Upon the written request of the holder that is received by the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of any such notice by the Company to register any of the Registrable Securities not previously registered, the Company will cause such Registrable Securities as to which registration shall have been so requested to be included with the securities to be covered by the registration statement proposed to be filed by the Company, all to the extent required to permit the sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities so registered by the holder of such Registrable Securities (each, a “Seller” and together, the “Sellers”). In the event that any registration pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) shall be, in whole or in part, an underwritten public offering of common stock of the Company, the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be included in such an underwriting may be reduced on a pro rata basis among the record holders so requesting registration by the managing underwriter if and to the extent that the Company and the underwriter shall reasonably be of the opinion that such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the securities to be sold by the Company therein; provided, however, that the Company shall notify the Seller in writing of any such reduction. Unless the Holder notifies the Company in writing that it elects to deem the registration statement filed or to be filed pursuant to this Section 11.1(ii) as a registration statement filed or to be filed pursuant to Section 11.1(ii), the Company may withdraw or delay or suffer a delay of any registration statement referred to in this Section 11.1(ii) without thereby incurring any liability to the Sellers. (iii) If, at the time any written request for registration is received by the Company pursuant to Section 11.1(i) hereof, the Company has determined to proceed with the actual preparation and filing of a registration statement under the 1933 Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale for cash of any of its securities for the Company’s own account and the Company actually does file such other registration statement, such written request shall be deemed to have been given pursuant to Section 11.1(ii) rather than Section 11.1(i), and the rights of the holders of Registrable Securities covered by such written request shall be governed by Section 11.1(ii). (iv) The Company shall file with the Commission a registration statement on Form S-1 (the “Registration Statement”) (or such other form that it is eligible to use) in order to register the Registrable Securities for resale and distribution under the 1933 Act within ninety (90) days after the Closing Date or, if more than one Closing, the last Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), and use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective not later than one hundred and eighty (180) days after such Closing Date (the “Effective Date”).

In the event that the Company is required by the Commission to cutback the number of shares being registered in the Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415, the Company shall reduce the Registrable Securities in the order and priority set forth on Schedule 11.1(iv). The Registrable Securities shall be reserved and set aside exclusively for the benefit of each Subscriber and Warrant holder, prorata, and not issued, employed or reserved for anyone other than each Subscriber and Warrant holder. The Registration Statement will immediately be amended or additional registration statements will be immediately filed by the Company as necessary to register additional shares of Common Stock to allow the public resale of all Common Stock included in and issuable by virtue of the Registrable Securities. Except as set forth on Schedule 11.1(iv), without the written consent of the Subscribers, no securities of the Company other than the Registrable Securities will be included in the Registration Statement. It shall be deemed a Non-Registration Event (as defined herein) if at any time after the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission (“Actual Effective Date”) the Company has registered for unrestricted resale on behalf of the Subscribers fewer than 110% of the amount of Common Shares issuable upon full conversion of all sums due under the Preferred Stock and Warrant Shares (the difference between such 110% and the actual amount of shares registered being referred to herein as the “Shortfall”). In such event, the Company shall take all actions necessary to cause at least 150% of the amount of shares of Common Stock issuable upon full conversion of all sums due under the Preferred Stock and 100% of the Warrant Shares to be registered within sixty (60) days after the first day such Shortfall exists. Failure to file the Registration Statement within thirty (30) days after the Business Combination Closing, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts (i) to file a registration statement on Form S-3 first day such Shortfall first exists or any similar short-form registration statement which may be available at such time, or if the Company is ineligible to use such Form S-3, on Form S-1 (including any successor registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities a “Resale Shelf”) of (x) the Class A Shares and Warrants (and underlying Class A Shares) comprising the Forward Purchase Securities, (y) any other Class A Shares that may be acquired by the Purchaser after the date of this Agreement, including any time after the Business Combination Closing, and (z) any other equity security of the Company issued or issuable with respect to the securities referred to in clauses (x) and (y) by way of a share capitalization or share split or in connection with a combination of shares, recapitalization, merger, consolidation or reorganization (collectively, the “Registrable Securities”) pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act; provided in the event the Company files a Resale Shelf on Form S-1, the Company shall convert the Form S-1 to a Form S-3 as soon as practicable after the Company is eligible to use Form S-3, (ii) failure to cause the Resale Shelf such registration to become effective within sixty (60) days after such Shortfall first exists shall be declared effective under the Securities Act promptly thereafter and (iii) to maintain the effectiveness of such Resale Shelf with respect to the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities until the earliest of (A) the date on which the Purchaser or its assignee ceases to hold Registrable Securities covered by such Resale Shelf, (B) the date all of the Purchaser’s Registrable Securities covered by the Resale Shelf can be sold publicly without restriction or limitation (including without volume or manner of sale restrictions) under Rule 144 under the Securities Act and without the requirement to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) under the Securities Acta Non-Registration Event.
