In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Corporation shall give the holder at least five (5) Trading Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such holder’s allotment. (v) The Corporation will use reasonable commercial best efforts to maintain the Registration Statement effective under the U.S. Securities Act until the later of the date (i) all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement or Rule 144, if available, or (ii) until 6 months following the expiration of the Warrants.
