For the purposes of this Agreement, securities of the Company listed in clauses (a) and (b) of the definition of “Registrable Securities” in Section 1.1 hereof will cease to be Registrable Securities, when (i) a Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities has been declared effective under the Securities Act by the SEC and such Registrable Securities have been disposed of pursuant to such effective Registration Statement, (ii) the entire amount of the Registrable Securities owned by a Designated Holder may be sold in one transaction without any limitation as to volume, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Company and such Designated Holder, each in their reasonable judgment, pursuant to Rule 144 (or any successor provision then in effect) under the Securities Act or (iii) such Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act. Wherever reference is made in this Agreement to a request or consent of holders of a certain percentage of Registrable Securities, the determination of such percentage shall include shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Convertible Preferred Stock even if such conversion has not yet been effected.

ARTICLE III

MANDATORY REGISTRATION

3.1 Shelf Registration Statement. Not later than thirty (30) days after the Completion Date (such 30th day, the “Required Filing Date”), the Company shall file with the SEC a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 of the Securities Act (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto), or if Form S-3 may not be used by the Company pursuant to applicable law, on Form S-1 (or any successor form thereto), with respect to the resale, from time to time, of all of the Registrable Securities held by the Designated Holders. The disposition of Registrable Securities from the Shelf Registration Statement may occur, at any time, in one or more underwritten offerings, block transactions, broker transactions, at-market transactions or in such other manner or manners as may be specified by the applicable Designated Holders. Notwithstanding the above, if the Company is required to file the Registration Statement on a Form S-1, then the Company shall have sixty (60) days from the Completion Date to prepare and file the Registration Statement and the Required Filing Date shall be, in such case, the sixtieth (60th) day after the Completion Date.

3.2 Effective Shelf Registration Statement.

(a) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Shelf Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable, but not later than the Required Effectiveness Date, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act, subject to the provisions of Sections 7.4 and 7.5 hereof, until the earlier of (i) such time as the Company delivers an opinion of counsel reasonably acceptable to the Majority Interest that each Designated Holder may sell in the open market in a single transaction all Registrable Securities then held by each such Designated Holder pursuant to Rule 144 of the Securities Act (or any similar provision then in force) without being subject to the volume limitations thereof or otherwise under an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act, or (ii) all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement have been sold pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement or pursuant to Rule 144 (such period being the “Effectiveness Period”).

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement (other than Section 3.2(d) below), in the event the staff of the SEC (the “Staff”) or the SEC seeks to characterize any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement as constituting an offering of securities by or on behalf of the Company such that Rule 415 is not available to the Company to register the resale of such Registrable Securities and, as a result, the Staff or the SEC does not permit such Registration Statement to become effective and used for resales in a manner that permits the continuous resale at the market by the Designated Holders participating therein (or as otherwise may be acceptable to each Designated Holder) without being named therein as an “underwriter,” then the Company shall reduce the number of shares to be included in such Registration Statement (in accordance with the following sentence) until such time as the Staff and the SEC shall so permit such Registration Statement to become effective as aforesaid. In making such reduction, the Company shall reduce the number of Registrable Securities to be included by all other Designated Holders on a pro rata basis (based upon the number of Registrable Securities otherwise required to be included for each such Designated Holder) unless the inclusion of shares by a particular Designated Holder or a particular set of Designated Holders results in the Staff or the SEC’s taking the position that the inclusion of such Registrable Securities by such Designated Holders would constitute a registration “by or on behalf of the Company,” in which event, the shares held by such Designated Holder or set of Designated Holders shall be the only shares subject to reduction. In addition, in the event that the Staff or the SEC requires any Designated Holder seeking to sell securities under a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement to be specifically identified as an “underwriter” (an “Underwriter Identification”) in order to permit such Registration Statement to become effective, and such Designated Holder (subject to Section 3.2(d) below) does not consent to being so named as an underwriter in such Registration Statement, then, in each such case, the Company shall reduce the total number of Registrable Securities to be registered on behalf of such Designated Holder, only to the extent necessary as would cause the Staff or the SEC not to require such Underwriter Identification or until such Designated Holder accepts such Underwriter Identification and the manner thereof. In the event of any reduction in Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3.2(b), if requested by a Designated Holder holding Registrable Securities that were so excluded from such registration, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered to the greatest extent and at the earliest opportunity practicable and in any event not later than sixty (60) days after the earliest practicable date permitted under applicable guidance of the SEC and the Staff (and shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect additional registrations of Registrable Securities until all such securities have been included in additional Registration Statements).

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, a Designated Holder shall have the right to require the Company to exclude all or any portion of such Designated Holder’s Registrable Securities from any Registration Statement, by written notice to the Company upon such Designated Holder’s reasonable belief that (i) inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the Registration Statement could subject such Designated Holder to underwriter liability, or (ii) the SEC or the Staff will impose material restrictions and terms on the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In such event, the Company shall be required to file a new Registration Statement for such excluded shares in accordance with Section 3.2(b).

(d) If any such Registration Statement and related prospectus refers to any Designated Holder by name or otherwise as the holder of any securities of the Company and if in such holder’s sole and exclusive judgment, such holder is or might be deemed to be an underwriter or a controlling person of the Company, or that such reference could reasonably be expected to result in an Underwriting Identification requirement, such holder shall have the right to (i) require the insertion therein of language, in form and substance satisfactory to such holder and presented to the Company in writing, to the effect that the holding by such holder of such securities is not to be construed as a recommendation by such holder of the investment quality of the Company’s securities covered thereby and that such holding does not imply that such holder will assist in meeting any future financial requirements of the Company, or (ii) in the event that such reference to such holder by name or otherwise is not required by the Securities Act or any similar federal statute then in force, require the deletion of the reference to such holder.

3.3 Event Payments. Should an Event (as defined below) occur then, upon each monthly anniversary of the occurrence of such Event (an “Event Payment Date”) until the applicable Event is cured, as relief for the damages suffered therefrom by the Investor or permitted transferee of the Investor (the parties hereto agreeing that the liquidated damages provided for in this Section 3.3 constitute a reasonable estimate of the damages that may be incurred by the Investor by reason of such Event and that such liquidated damages represent the exclusive monetary remedy for the Designated Holders for damages suffered due to such Event; provided, however, that this shall in no manner limit the Designated Holders’ entitlement to specific performance as provided for in Section 10.3), the Company shall pay to the Investor an amount in cash, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to one-twentieth of a percent (0.05%) of (i) the number of SEC Approved Registrable Securities then held by the Investor as of the date of such Event, multiplied by (ii) the purchase price paid by the Investor for such SEC Approved Registrable Securities then held, for each day that such Event continues, excluding the day on which such Event has been cured. The payments to which the Investor shall be entitled pursuant to this Section 3.3 are referred to herein as “Event Payments.” In the event the Company fails to make Event Payments to the Investor within five (5) Business Days after an Event Payment Date, such Event Payments owed to the Investor shall bear interest at the rate of one half percent (0.5%) per month (prorated for partial months) until paid in full. All pro rated calculations made pursuant to this paragraph shall be based upon the actual number of days in such pro rated month. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions, in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay such liquidated damages in an aggregate amount that exceeds five percent (5.0%) of the purchase price paid by the Investor for its Registrable Securities pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

For such purposes, each of the following shall constitute an “Event”:

(a) a Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Required Filing Date or is not declared effective on or prior to the Required Effectiveness Date except: (A) as provided for in Section 7.4 or (B) in the event that the SEC or the Staff (whether by means of a comment letter provided by the SEC or the Staff relating to the Registration Statement or otherwise) makes a determination that the registration of the Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement may not be appropriately characterized as secondary offerings that are eligible to be made on a shelf basis under Rule 415 or that one or more of the Designated Holders should be subjected to Underwriter Identification; or

(b) on and after the effective date of a Registration Statement filed hereunder, a Designated Holder is not permitted to sell SEC Approved Registrable Securities under the Registration Statement (or a subsequent Registration Statement filed in replacement thereof) for any reason (other than the fault of such Designated Holder) for more than forty five (45) days in any one hundred and eighty day (180) day period or for more than ninety (90) days in any twelve month period.

3.4 Expenses. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with this ARTICLE III, whether or not the Shelf Registration Statement becomes effective.

ARTICLE IV

DEMAND REGISTRATION RIGHTS

4.1 If, at any time after the Required Filing Date and prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period, (a) (i) additional Registrable Securities, which have not been included in the Shelf Registration Statement of the Company pursuant to Section 3.1 above, are issued or issuable to, or otherwise acquired by, the Investor or its Affiliates or (ii) a Registration Statement covering the sale of all of the Registrable Securities is not then effective and available for sales thereof by the Investor, and (b) the Company receives from the Investor a written request (the “Demand Request”) stating that such Investor is likely to be considered an Affiliate of the Company and requesting that the Company effect a registration with respect to at least one million shares of such Registrable Securities (which request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by the Investor), the Company shall as soon as practicable, file and use reasonable best efforts to effect up to three such registrations during the period from the Required Filing Date to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (but not more frequently then once per 180 day period) and to permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all of such Registrable Securities.

4.2 Expenses. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with this ARTICLE IV, whether or not a Registration Statement becomes effective.

ARTICLE V

INCIDENTAL OR “PIGGY-BACK” REGISTRATION

5.1 Request for Incidental Registration. At any time after the date hereof until the end of the Effectiveness Period, if (i) the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor thereto), or (ii) the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering for the account of any stockholder of the Company other than any Designated Holder, then in each case the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to each of the Designated Holders at least ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date, and such notice shall specify, at minimum, the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement, any proposed means of distribution of such Registrable Securities or other securities, any proposed managing underwriter or underwriters of such Registrable Securities or other securities and offer such Designated Holders the opportunity to register the number of Registrable Securities as each such Designated Holder may request (an “Incidental Registration”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts (within twenty (20) days of the notice by the Designated Holders provided for below in this sentence) to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters in the case of a proposed underwritten offering (the “Company Underwriter”) to permit each of the Designated Holders who have requested in writing to the Company within ten (10) Business Days of the giving of the notice by the Company to participate in the Incidental Registration to include its, his or her Registrable Securities in such offering on the same terms and conditions as the securities of the Company or the account of such other stockholder, as the case may be, included therein. In connection with any Incidental Registration under this Section 5.1 involving an underwritten offering, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Securities in such underwritten offering unless the Designated Holders thereof accept the terms of the underwritten offering as agreed upon between the Company, such other stockholders, if any, and the Company Underwriter. If the Company Underwriter determines that the registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities which the Designated Holders have requested to be included in an offering by the Company for its own account (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor thereto) would materially adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the price per security that will derive from such registration, then the Company shall be required to include in such Incidental Registration, to the extent of the amount that the Company Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect, (i) all of the securities to be offered for the account of the Company, (ii) the Registrable Securities to be offered for the account of the Designated Holders pursuant to this ARTICLE V, as a group, which Registrable Securities shall be allocated pro rata among such Designated Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering by each such Designated Holder and (iii) other securities requested to be included in such offering; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the shares of Registrable Securities held by the Designated Holders included in the registration to below 20% of the total amount of securities included in such registration, unless such adverse effect is related to any of the matters contemplated by Section 3.2(b) hereof, in which case such 20% floor shall not apply and such Registrable Securities may be excluded pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2(b) hereof. If the Company Underwriter determines in writing that the registration of all or part of the Registrable Securities which the Designated Holders have requested to be included in an offering for the account of any stockholder of the Company other than any Designated Holders (“Other Stockholders”) would materially adversely affect the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the price per security that will derive from such registration, then the Company shall be required to include in such Incidental Registration, to the extent of the amount that the Company Underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect, (i) all of the securities to be offered for the account of such Other Stockholders, (ii) the Registrable Securities to be offered for the account of the Designated Holders pursuant to this ARTICLE V, as a group, which Registrable Securities shall be allocated pro rata among such other Designated Holders based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such offering by each such Designated Holder, (iii) all of the securities to be offered for the account of the Company, and (iv) other securities requested to be included in such offering; provided, however, that no such reduction shall reduce the shares of Registrable Securities held by the Designated Holders included in the registration to below 40% of the total amount of securities included in such registration unless such adverse effect is related to any of the matters contemplated by Section 3.2(b) above, in which case such 40% floor shall not apply and such Registrable Securities may be excluded pursuant to the provisions of Section 3.2(b). For the avoidance of doubt, no registration pursuant to this Section 5.1 shall relieve the Company of its obligations to register Registrable Securities pursuant to Sections 3.1, 3.2 and 4.1.

5.2 Right to Terminate Registration. The Company shall have the right to terminate or withdraw any registration initiated by it under Section 5.1 prior to the effectiveness of such registration whether or not any Designated Holder has elected to include Registrable Securities in such registration. A Designated Holder shall have the right, by written notice to the Company, to exclude all or any portion of such Designated Holder’s Registrable Securities from any Registration Statement effected pursuant to this ARTICLE V at any time prior to its effectiveness.

5.3 Expenses. The Company shall bear all Registration Expenses in connection with any Incidental Registration pursuant to this ARTICLE V, whether or not such Incidental Registration becomes effective.

ARTICLE VI

UNDERWRITTEN OFFERINGS

6.1 Market Underwritten Offering. The Designated Holders may distribute all or any portion of the Registrable Securities then held by them by means of an underwritten offering; provided, that: (i) a Majority Interest has requested such underwritten offering (the “Electing Holders”), (ii) the Electing Holders provide written notice to the Company and the other Designated Holders of their intention to distribute Registrable Securities by means of an underwritten offering; (iii) the managing underwriter or underwriters thereof shall be designated by the Electing Holders (provided, however, that such designated managing underwriter or underwriters shall be reasonably acceptable to the Company); (iv) each Designated Holder participating in such underwritten offering (each a, “Participating Holder,” and collectively, the “Participating Holders”) agrees to sell such Participating Holder’s Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Electing Holders entitled selecting the managing underwriter or underwriters hereunder; (v) each Participating Holder participating in such underwritten offering completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; and (vi) the underwritten sale pursuant to this Section must be for a number of Registrable Securities, which based on the good faith determination by the Electing Holders, would result in gross proceeds of at least $10 million.

6.2 The Company agrees that in the event an underwritten offering pursuant to Section 6.1 is undertaken, the Company shall (without limitation to the obligations of the Company set forth in Article VII):

(a) enter into and perform customary agreements (including an indemnity agreement with customary indemnification provisions) and take such other actions as reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities, including causing its officers to participate in “road shows” and other information meetings organized by the underwriter, if applicable;

(b) make available at reasonable times for inspection by any Designated Holder, any managing underwriter participating in any disposition of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement, Holders’ Counsel and any attorney retained by any such Designated Holder or any managing underwriter (each, an “Inspector” and, collectively, the “Inspectors”), all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company and its subsidiaries, and such other information (collectively, the “Records”) as shall be reasonably necessary to enable any such Inspector to exercise their due diligence responsibility, and cause the Company’s and its subsidiaries’ officers, directors and employees, and the independent public accountants of the Company, to supply all information reasonably requested by any such Inspector in connection with such Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Records and other information that the Company determines, in good faith, to be confidential, and which is delivered to the Inspectors pursuant to written instruction to keep such information confidential, shall not be disclosed by the Inspectors or used for any purpose other than as necessary or appropriate for the purpose of such inspection (and the Inspectors shall confirm their agreement in writing in advance to the Company if the Company shall so request) unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary, in the Company’s judgment, to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in the Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court of competent jurisdiction after exhaustion of all appeals therefrom or (iii) the information in such Records was and/or becomes otherwise known to the Inspectors on a non-confidential basis, prior to or after its disclosure by the Company, or was and/or becomes generally available to the public. Each Designated Holder agrees that it shall promptly, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in a court of competent jurisdiction, give notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of the Records deemed confidential, and such Designated Holder shall reasonably cooperate with the Company in connection therewith;

(c) furnish, at the request of any seller of Registrable Securities on the date such securities are delivered to the underwriters for sale pursuant to such registration or, if such securities are not being sold through underwriters, on the date the Registration Statement with respect to such securities becomes effective and dated as of such date, an opinion of counsel representing the Company for the purposes of such registration, addressed to the underwriters, if any, and to the seller making such request, covering such legal matters with respect to the registration in respect of which such opinion is being given as the underwriters, if any, and such seller may reasonably request and are customarily included in such opinions; and

(d) obtain one or more “cold comfort” letters, dated the effective date of such Registration Statement and dated the date of the closing under the applicable underwriting agreement, signed by the independent certified public accountants of the Company who have certified the financial statements included in such Registration Statement, in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by “cold comfort” letters as the holders of a Majority Interest.

ARTICLE VII

REGISTRATION PROCEDURES

7.1 Obligations of the Company. Whenever registration of Registrable Securities is required or requested pursuant to ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV or ARTICLE V of this Agreement, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof, and in connection with any such request, the Company shall, as expeditiously as possible:

(a) before filing a Registration Statement or prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto relating to Registrable Securities, the Company shall provide a single counsel selected by the Designated Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities being registered in such registration (“Holders’ Counsel”) with an adequate and appropriate opportunity to review and comment on such Registration Statement and each prospectus included therein (and each amendment or supplement thereto) to be filed with the SEC, subject to such documents being under the Company’s control. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with Holders’ Counsel in performing the Company’s obligations under this Agreement. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders’ Counsel and each seller of Registrable Securities of any stop order issued or threatened by the SEC relating to Registrable Securities and take all actions required to prevent the entry of such stop order or to remove it if entered;

(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective for the period specified in such ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV or with respect to ARTICLE V and if not so specified therein, the lesser of (A) one hundred and eighty (180) days and (B) such shorter period which will terminate when all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold and shall comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement during such period in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the sellers thereof set forth in such Registration Statement;

(m) take all other steps reasonably necessary and advisable to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities contemplated hereby.

The furnishing of such information shall be a condition to the inclusion of the seller’s shares in such registration.

7.3 Registration Expenses. The Company shall pay all expenses arising from or incident to its performance of, or compliance with, this Agreement, including, without limitation, (i) SEC, stock exchange and FINRA registration and filing fees, (ii) all fees and expenses incurred in complying with securities or “blue sky” laws (including reasonable fees, charges and disbursements of counsel to any underwriter incurred in connection with “blue sky” qualifications of the Registrable Securities as may be set forth in any underwriting agreement), (iii) all printing, messenger and delivery expenses, (iv) the reasonable fees, charges and expenses of the Holders’ Counsel (including without limitation the fees charges and expenses incurred in connection with any amendments to a Registration Statement) not to exceed $40,000, and (v) the reasonable fees, charges and expenses of counsel to the Company and of its independent certified public accountants and any other accounting fees, charges and expenses incurred by the Company (including, without limitation, any expenses arising from any “cold comfort” letters or any special audits incident to or required by any registration or qualification), regardless of whether such Registration Statement is declared effective.

ARTICLE VIII

INDEMNIFICATION; CONTRIBUTION

8.1 Indemnification by the Company. The Company agrees to indemnify and hold harmless each Designated Holder, its general or limited partners, members, directors, officers, Affiliates and each Person who controls (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) any of the foregoing from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable costs of investigation) or any action or proceeding in respect thereof (including reasonable costs of investigation and reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) (each, a “Liability” and collectively, “Liabilities”), (i) arising out of or based upon or relating to any untrue, or allegedly untrue, statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus or preliminary, final or summary prospectus, or document incorporated by reference into any of the foregoing (as amended or supplemented if the Company shall have furnished any amendments or supplements thereto), (ii) arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which such statements were made, except insofar as such Liability arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or omission contained in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus or final prospectus in reliance and in conformity with information concerning such Designated Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Designated Holder specifically for use therein, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities laws or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities laws in connection with the sale of securities by such Designated Holder pursuant to any Registration Statement in which such Designated Holder is participating. The Company shall also provide customary indemnities to any underwriters (or persons, including broker-dealers or agents deemed “underwriters” within the meaning of the Securities Act) of the Registrable Securities, their officers, directors and employees and each Person who controls such underwriters (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Designated Holders of Registrable Securities.

8.2 Indemnification by Designated Holders. In connection with any Registration Statement in which a Designated Holder is participating pursuant to ARTICLE III, ARTICLE IV or ARTICLE V hereof, each such Designated Holder shall promptly furnish to the Company in writing such information with respect to such Designated Holder as may be required by law or regulation for use in connection with any such Registration Statement or prospectus and all information required to be disclosed in order to make the information previously furnished to the Company by such Designated Holder not materially misleading or necessary to cause such Registration Statement or prospectus not to omit a material fact with respect to such Designated Holder necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading. Each Designated Holder agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors, officers, Affiliates, and each Person who controls the Company to the same extent as the foregoing indemnity from the Company to the Designated Holders, but only if such untrue statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with information with respect to such Designated Holder furnished in writing to the Company by such Designated Holder specifically for use in such Registration Statement or preliminary, final or summary prospectus or amendment or supplement, or a document incorporated by reference into any of the foregoing; provided, however, that the total amount to be indemnified by such Designated Holder pursuant to this Section 8.2 shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Designated Holder in the offering to which the Registration Statement or prospectus relates.

8.3 Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) agrees to give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifying Party”) after the receipt by the Indemnified Party of any written notice of the commencement of any action, suit, proceeding or investigation or threat thereof made in writing for which the Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification or contribution pursuant to this Agreement; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any Liability that it may have to the Indemnified Party hereunder (except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially prejudiced or otherwise forfeits substantive rights or defenses by reason of such failure). If notice of commencement of any such action is given to the Indemnifying Party as above provided, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in and, to the extent it may wish, jointly with any other Indemnifying Party similarly notified, to assume the defense of such action at its own expense, with counsel chosen by it and reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be paid by the Indemnified Party unless (i) the Indemnifying Party agrees to pay the same, (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of such action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party or (iii) such parties have been advised in writing by such counsel that either (x) representation of such Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party by the same counsel would be inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct or (y) there may be one or more legal defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party, in any of such cases, the Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such Indemnified Party, it being understood, however, that the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for the fees and expenses of more than one separate firm of attorneys (in addition to any local counsel) for all similarly-situated Indemnified Parties. No Indemnifying Party shall be liable for any settlement entered into without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the consent of such Indemnified Party, effect any settlement of any pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which such Indemnified Party is a party and indemnity has been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability for claims that are the subject matter of such proceeding.

8.4 Contribution.

(a) If the indemnification provided for in this ARTICLE VIII from the Indemnifying Party is unavailable to an Indemnified Party hereunder in respect of any Liabilities referred to herein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Liabilities in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party in connection with the actions which resulted in such Liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative faults of such Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such Indemnifying Party or Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of the Liabilities referred to above shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Sections 8.1 and 8.2, any legal or other fees, charges or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding; provided, that the total amount to be contributed by such Designated Holder shall be limited to the net proceeds (after deducting the underwriters’ discounts and commissions) received by such Designated Holder in the offering.

(b) The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 8.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in Section 8.4(a). No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

(b) Without limiting the generality of subsection (a), the Company shall take such action, including, without limitation, preparing, printing and circulating prospectus, listing particulars and other offering documents setting forth current information regarding the Company, to the extent reasonably required to facilitate and permit the offering and sale of Registrable Securities by, and on behalf of, the Designated Holders on such securities exchange.

(c) If any part of the equity share capital of the Company is to be offered in Asia or Europe by the Company or any of its shareholders in a manner requiring the publication of a prospectus or listing particulars (an “Asian/European Public Offering”) pursuant to a firm commitment underwriting, the Company shall (i) each such time give written notice to the Designated Holders of its intention to do so and (ii) use its reasonable best efforts to include in such Asian/European Public Offering all of the Registrable Securities held by such Designated Holders from whom the Company has received written request for inclusion thereof within ten (10) Business Days of the receipt by such Designated Holders of the notice referred to in clause (i) above, to the same extent as provided by the incidental or “piggy-back” rights held by the Designated Holders pursuant to ARTICLE V.

In the event any of the Registrable Securities held by the Designated Holders are sold pursuant to an Asian/European Public Offering, each Designated Holder shall bear the respective expense of any broker’s commission or an underwriter’s discount or commission relating to the sale of such Designated Holders’ Registrable Securities.

9.3 Limitations on Registration Rights. No Person shall, without the prior written consent of a Majority Interest, be permitted to include securities of the Company in any registration undertaken under ARTICLE III or ARTICLE IV hereto.

9.4 Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities. The Company shall not take any action, or permit any change to occur, with respect to its securities that would adversely affect the ability of the Designated Holders of Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in a registration undertaken pursuant to this Agreement or that would adversely affect the marketability of such Registrable Securities in any such registration (including, without limitation, effecting a stock split or a combination of shares).

ARTICLE X

MISCELLANEOUS

10.1 Recapitalizations, Exchanges, etc. The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to the full extent set forth herein with respect to (i) the shares of Common Stock and the Common Stock Equivalents, (ii) any and all shares of voting common stock of the Company into which the shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents are converted, exchanged or substituted in any recapitalization or other capital reorganization by the Company and (iii) any and all equity securities of the Company or any successor or assign of the Company (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) which may be issued in respect of, in conversion of, in exchange for or in substitution of, the shares of Common Stock or Common Stock Equivalents and shall be appropriately adjusted for any stock dividends, splits, reverse splits, combinations, recapitalizations and the like occurring after the date hereof. The Company shall cause any successor or assign (whether by merger, consolidation, sale of assets or otherwise) to enter into a new registration rights agreement with the Designated Holders on terms substantially the same as this Agreement as a condition of any such transaction.

10.2 Other Registration Rights. The Company shall not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Designated Holders in this Agreement or grant any additional registration rights to any Person or with respect to any securities which are not Registrable Securities which are prior in right to or inconsistent with the rights granted in this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of a Majority Interest. No holder of the securities of the Company has the right to register securities of the Company on the initial or any subsequent Shelf Registration Statement.

10.3 Remedies. The Designated Holders, in addition to being entitled to exercise all rights granted by law, including recovery of damages, shall be entitled to specific performance of their rights under this Agreement. The Company agrees that monetary damages alone (including those specified in Section 3.3) would not be adequate compensation for any loss incurred by reason of a breach by it of the provisions of this Agreement and hereby agrees to waive in any action for specific performance the defense that a remedy at law would be adequate.

10.4 Notices. All notices, demands and other communications provided for or permitted hereunder shall be made in the manner provided for under the Purchase Agreement.

10.5 Successors and Assigns; Third Party Beneficiaries. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and permitted assigns of the parties hereto as hereinafter; provided, that the rights of the Designated Holders contained in this Agreement shall be automatically transferred to the transferee of any Registrable Security provided that (i) such transferee agrees to become a party to this Agreement and be fully bound by, and subject to, all of the terms and conditions of the Agreement as though an original party hereto; (ii) the Company is furnished with written notice of (a) the name and address of such transferee, and (b) the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred; (iii) immediately following such transfer the further disposition of such securities by the transferee is restricted under the Securities Act or applicable state securities laws if so required; and (iv) such transfer shall have been conducted in accordance with all applicable federal and state securities laws. All of the obligations of the Company hereunder shall survive any transfer. Except as provided in ARTICLE VIII, no Person other than the parties hereto and their successors and permitted assigns are intended to be a beneficiary of this Agreement.

10.6 Amendments and Waivers. Except as otherwise provided herein, the provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified or supplemented, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given unless consented to in writing by (i) the Company and (ii) the Designated Holders holding at least a Majority Interest; provided that any party hereto may give a waiver in writing as to itself.

10.7 Aggregation of Stock. All shares of Registrable Securities held or acquired by Affiliated entities or Persons or entities or Persons under common management or control shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.

10.9 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning hereof.

If there is no applicable jurisdiction in such federal court, each of the parties hereto shall submit itself to the jurisdiction of the state court for the State of New York.

10.11 WAIVER OF JURY TRIAL. BECAUSE DISPUTES ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH COMPLEX FINANCIAL TRANSACTIONS ARE MOST QUICKLY AND ECONOMICALLY RESOLVED BY AN EXPERIENCED AND EXPERT PERSON AND THE PARTIES WISH APPLICABLE STATE AND FEDERAL LAWS TO APPLY (RATHER THAN ARBITRATION RULES), THE PARTIES DESIRE THAT THEIR DISPUTES BE RESOLVED BY A JUDGE APPLYING SUCH APPLICABLE LAWS.

10.14 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter contained herein.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings among the parties with respect to such subject matter.

10.15 Further Assurances. Each of the parties shall do and perform, or cause to be done and performed, all such further acts and things, and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents, as the other party may reasonably request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

10.16 Other Agreements. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of, or release from, any obligations any party hereto may have under any other agreement including, but not limited to, the Charter Documents and the Purchase Agreement.

10.17 Termination. Except for the liabilities or obligations under Section 7.3 or ARTICLE VIII, all of which shall remain in effect in accordance with their terms, this Agreement and the obligations of the parties hereunder (other than liability for the breach by any party hereto of any of the terms of this Agreement) shall terminate upon the end of the Effectiveness Period.
