Related to Shelf Demand and Form S 3 Registrations

• Form S-3 Registration In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:

• Form F-3 Registration In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of a majority of all Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 (or an equivalent registration in a jurisdiction outside of the United States) and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:

• S-3 Registration In the event that the Company receives written requests from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities, calling upon the Company to effect a registration on Form S-3 and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such holder or holders, the Company will:

• Demand Registration (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, at any time on or after the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date, the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities shall have the right to require the Company to file a Registration Statement registering for sale all or part of their respective Registrable Securities under the Securities Act (a “Demand Registration”) by delivering a written request therefor to the Company (i) specifying the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration by such Holder or Holders, (ii) specifying whether the intended method of disposition thereof is pursuant to an Underwritten Offering (as defined below), and (iii) containing all information about such Holder required to be included in such Registration Statement in accordance with applicable Law. As soon as practicable after the receipt of such demand, the Company shall (x) promptly notify all Holders from whom the request for registration has not been received and (y) use reasonable best efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities Laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) of the Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register; provided, however, that (i) the Holders shall not make a request for a Demand Registration under this Section 3.2(a) for Registrable Securities having an anticipated aggregate offering price of less than $5,000,000, (ii) the Holders will not be entitled to require the Company to effect more than three (3) Demand Registrations in the aggregate under this Agreement, and (iii) the Company will not be obligated to effect more than one (1) Demand Registration in any six (6) month period.

• Rule 462(b) Registration Statement In the event that a Rule 462(b) Registration Statement is filed in connection with the offering contemplated by this Agreement, such Rule 462(b) Registration Statement shall have been filed with the Commission on the date of this Agreement and shall have become effective automatically upon such filing.

• Registration of Registrable Securities The Company will file with the Commission, within 30 days following the date hereof, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") to register the resale of the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within (i) 90 days of the Date hereof, (ii) ten (10) days following the receipt of a "No Review" or similar letter from the Commission or (iii) the first day following the day the Commission determines the Registration Statement eligible to be declared effective (the "Required Effectiveness Date"). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the number of Registrable Securities to be registered by the Company hereunder. As a result, should the Registration Statement not relate to the maximum number of Registrable Securities acquired by (or potentially acquirable by) the holders thereof upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, or exercise of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants described in Section 1 above, the Company shall be required to promptly file a separate registration statement (utilizing Rule 462 promulgated under the Exchange Act, where applicable) relating to such Registrable Securities which then remain unregistered. The provisions of this Agreement shall relate to any such separate registration statement as if it were an amendment to the Registration Statement.

• Form S-3 Demand If at any time when it is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement, the Company receives a request from Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the Registrable Securities then outstanding that the Company file a Form S-3 registration statement with respect to outstanding Registrable Securities of such Holders having an anticipated aggregate offering price, net of Selling Expenses, of at least $5 million, then the Company shall (i) within ten (10) days after the date such request is given, give a Demand Notice to all Holders other than the Initiating Holders; and (ii) as soon as practicable, and in any event within forty-five (45) days after the date such request is given by the Initiating Holders, file a Form S-3 registration statement under the Securities Act covering all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any other Holders, as specified by notice given by each such Holder to the Company within twenty (20) days of the date the Demand Notice is given, and in each case, subject to the limitations of Subsections 2.1(c) and 2.3.

• Registration Statement Covering Resale of Registrable Securities Notwithstanding the right of any Holder to request a Resale Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.1.1, the Company shall prepare and file or cause to be prepared and filed with the Commission as soon as practicable (but in any case no later than 15 calendar days after the Effective Date) a Registration Statement for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act or any successor thereto registering the resale from time to time by Holders of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Holders (the “Resale Shelf Registration Statement”). The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable after filing, but no later than the earlier of (i) sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing (or ninety (90) calendar days after the Closing if the Commission notifies the Company that it will “review” the Registration Statement) and (ii) fifteen (15) Business Days after the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement shall be filed on any then applicable form. If the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is initially filed on Form S-1 and thereafter the Company becomes eligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, cause such Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is on Form S-3. If any Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed pursuant to Section 2.3.1 is filed on Form S-3 and thereafter the Company becomes ineligible to use Form S-3 for secondary sales, the Company shall promptly notify the Holders of such ineligibility and use its best efforts to file a shelf registration on an appropriate form as promptly as practicable to replace the shelf registration statement on Form S-3 and have such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as promptly as practicable and to cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Resale Shelf Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities; provided, however, that at any time the Company once again becomes eligible to use Form S-3, the Company shall cause such replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement to be amended, or shall file a new replacement Resale Shelf Registration Statement, such that the Resale Shelf Registration Statement is once again on Form S-3. Once effective, the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Resale Shelf Registration Statement that is required to be filed pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 and Prospectus included therein continuously effective and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available at all times until the earlier of (i) the third anniversary of the Closing, and (ii) as to any particular Holder, the date on which the Holder ceases to hold any Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this Section 2.3.1 shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement (subject to the Lock-Up Period applicable to such Holder, which shall control), and shall provide that such Registrable Securities may be sold pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, Holders. The Resale Shelf Registration Statement filed hereunder may also register Common Shares other than Registrable Securities, including shares sold by the Company in one or more PIPE transactions and shares issuable upon the exercise of warrants.
