The Registration Statement required hereunder shall be on Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Shares on Form S-3, in which case the Registration Statement shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). If the Company is not eligible to register for resale the Registrable Shares on Form S-3, the Company shall not be obligated to file more than three (3) Registration Statements pursuant to this Section 2(a).

Subject to Section 2(b), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) as promptly as possible after the filing thereof (but such effectiveness date shall not be later than the Effectiveness Date), and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act (including the filing of any necessary amendments, post-effective amendments and supplements) until such date when there are no longer any Registrable Shares outstanding (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of the Registration Statement (unless it becomes effective automatically upon filing) as of 5:00 pm Eastern Standard Time on a Trading Day. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders via facsimile or email of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission (if possible, otherwise as soon as practicable on the following Trading Day), which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of a Registration Statement (the “Effective Date”), unless the Registration Statement becomes automatically effective upon filing, in which case the “Effective Date” shall be the date on which the Registration Statement was filed. The Company shall, by 9:30 am Eastern Standard Time on the Trading Day immediately after the Effective Date, file a Rule 424(b) prospectus with the Commission.

(b) If: (1) the Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Filing Date (it being understood that if the Company files the Registration Statement without affording the Holders the opportunity to review and comment on the same as required by Section 4(c), the Company shall not be deemed to have satisfied Section 2(b)(1)); or (2) the Registration Statement does not become automatically effective or is not declared effective by the Commission on or before the Effectiveness Date or (3) after the Effective Date, a Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Shares for which it is required to be effective, or the Holders are not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Shares in either event for thirty (30) consecutive calendar days during any 12-month period (provided, no suspension period may begin until at least twelve (12) months have passed since any previous suspension period) (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of Section 2(b)(1) or Section 2(b)(2) the date on which such breach occurs, and for purposes of Section 2(b)(3) the date on which such thirty (30) calendar day period is exceeded, being referred to as an “Event Date”), then in addition to any other rights or remedies the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, the Holders shall receive from the Company, on the Event Date and each thirty (30) day anniversary of the Event Date until the applicable Event is cured with respect to each Restricted Share, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, cash in an amount equal to 1.0% of the purchase price paid for the shares of Common Stock purchased under the Purchase Agreement (or a pro rata portion thereof if the period is less than thirty (30) calendar days); provided, however, that in no event shall the aggregate amounts paid as liquidated damages exceed 1.0% in any thirty (30) calendar day period. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the applicable Event shall be deemed to be cured on: (x) in the case of Section 2(b)(1), the date on which such Registration Statement is filed, (y) in the case of Section 2(b)(2), the date on which such Registration Statement becomes effective and (z) in the case of Section 2(b)(3), the date on which such Registration Statement becomes effective again or any Prospectus becomes usable again, as applicable. Such payments shall be made to the Investor in cash not later than three (3) Business Days following the Event Date or end of each thirty (30) calendar day period, as applicable.

(c) In the event that, in the reasonable judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend use of a Registration Statement or Prospectus therein due to pending material developments or other events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure would be detrimental to the Company, the Company shall notify the Holders to such effect, and, upon receipt of such notice, the Holders shall immediately discontinue any sales of Registrable Shares pursuant to such Registration Statement and/or Prospectus until the Holders have received copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or until the holders are advised in writing by the Company that the then current prospectus may be used and has received copies of any additional or supplemental filings that are incorporated or deemed incorporated by reference in such prospectus. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Company shall not exercise its rights under the preceding sentence to suspend sales of Registrable Shares for a period in excess of sixty (60) consecutive calendar days during any 12-month period; provided, no suspension period may begin until at least twelve (12) months have passed since any previous suspension period.

(d) The Holders acknowledge that the SEC has recently given enhanced scrutiny to registration statements attempting to register the resale of shares obtained by purchasers in private placements and that such SEC reviews have resulted in registrants being denied the use of Rule 415(a)(1)(i). Accordingly, the Holders agree that (i) the Company shall not be obligated to pay any amount of liquidated damages under subsection (b) above in the event a Registration Statement is not declared effective on or prior to the Event Date solely as a result of or in connection with a determination by the SEC that either the Company or the Holders are ineligible to rely on Rule 415(a)(l)(i) under the Securities Act with respect to the registration of any of the Registrable Securities for resale by the Holders on a continuous or delayed basis; provided, that the Company shall thereafter use its commercially reasonable efforts to find alternative methods to register the Registrable Securities with the SEC for resale; and (ii) in the event the Company, after conducting a pre-filing conference with the SEC, if possible, reasonably determines that it is unable to, or it is inadvisable for the Company to attempt to, register all of the Registrable Securities in a single Registration Statement, the Company may elect to fulfill the registration requirements of this Agreement by registering the Registrable Securities in two or more Registration Statements, provided that the Company shall use its best efforts to file each subsequent Registration Statement no later than the earlier of (A) 60 days following the date on which the last of the Registrable Securities registered under the preceding Registration Statement were sold or (B) 6 months following the date on which the preceding Registration Statement was declared effective.

Section 3.

Incidental Registration.

(a) Subject to Section 4.7 of the Purchase Agreement, if at any time from and after the date hereof, the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than (A) any registration of public sales or distributions solely by and for the account of the Company of securities issued (x) pursuant to any employee benefit or similar plan or any dividend reinvestment plan, or (y) pursuant to a S-4 registration in connection with the acquisition of the Company, or (B) pursuant to Section 2 hereof), either in connection with a primary offering for cash for the account of the Company or a secondary offering, the Company will, each time it intends to effect such a registration, give written notice to all Holders at least ten (10) but no more than thirty (30) business days prior to the expected initial filing of a Registration Statement with the Commission pertaining thereto, informing such Holders of its intent to file such Registration Statement, the expected filing date, and of the Holders’ rights to request the registration of the Registrable Shares held by such Holder (the “Company Notice”). Upon the written request of any Holder made within ten (10) business days after any such Company Notice is given (which request shall specify the Registrable Shares intended to be disposed of by such Holder or its transferees and, unless the applicable registration is intended to effect a primary offering of Shares for cash for the account of the Company, the intended method of distribution thereof), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Shares which the Company has been so requested to register by such Holders to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods of distribution thereof or, in the case of a registration which is intended to effect a primary offering for cash for the account of the Company, in accordance with the Company’s intended method of distribution) of the Registrable Shares so requested to be registered, including, if necessary, by filing with the Commission a post-effective amendment or a supplement to the Registration Statement or the related Prospectus or any document incorporated therein by reference or by filing any other required document or otherwise supplementing or amending the Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Registration Statement or by the Securities Act, any state securities or blue sky laws, or any rules and regulations thereunder; provided, however, that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the Incidental Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each Holder and, thereupon, (A) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Shares in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses incurred in connection therewith), and (B) in the case of a determination to delay such registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay registration of any Registrable Shares requested to be included in such Registration Statement for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3(a) shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Agreement.

(b) The Company shall be required to include in the registration pursuant to this Section 3 the percentage of the Registrable Shares held by the Holders in such registration as will equal the fraction, (x) the numerator of which shall be the number of all the Registrable Shares and (y) the denominator of which shall be the number of shares of the outstanding capital stock of the Company on a fully-diluted basis, in each case, immediately prior to the effectiveness of such registration statement. The number of Registrable Shares to be included in the Incidental Registration shall be allocated pro rata among the Holders thereof requesting inclusion in such registration on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included by all such Holders.

(c) If the registration pursuant to this Section 3 is underwritten and in the good faith judgment of the managing underwriter the inclusion of the Registrable Shares requested to be registered would interfere with the successful marking of the offering, then the number of Registrable Shares to be included in the offering will be reduced to such smaller number with the participation in the offering to be in the following order of priority: (1) first, the securities to which the Company proposes to sell for its own account, (2) second, the shares of Registrable Shares requested by the Holders to be included in such registration , pro rata among the Holders thereof requesting inclusion in such registration on the basis of the number of securities requested to be included by all such Holders, and (3) third, any other securities requested to be included.

(b) In connection with any registration of Registrable Shares under the Securities Act pursuant to the Agreement, each Electing Holder shall severally (based on the percentage of all Registrable Shares included in such registration that were owned by such holder) and not jointly and severally indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each director of the Company, each employee and advisor of the Company, each officer of the Company who shall sign such registration statement, each underwriter, broker or other Person acting on behalf of the Holders, the Affiliates of each of the foregoing, and each Person who controls any of the foregoing Persons within the meaning of the Securities Act with respect to any statement or omission from such registration statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or otherwise filed with the Commission, any amendment or supplement thereto or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus or any document incident to registration or qualification of any Registrable Shares, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or such underwriter by such Electing Holder specifically for use in connection with the preparation of such registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, amendment, supplement, document or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus; provided, however, that the maximum amount of liability in respect of such indemnification shall be limited, in the case of each Electing Holder, to an amount equal to the gross amount actually received by such Electing Holder from the sale of Registrable Shares effected pursuant to such registration.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of the commencement of any action involving a claim referred to in this Section 5, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is made against an indemnifying party, give written notice to the latter of the commencement of such action. The failure of any indemnified party to notify an indemnifying party of any such action shall not (unless such failure shall have a material adverse effect on the indemnifying party) relieve the indemnifying party from any liability in respect of such action that it may have to such indemnified party hereunder. In case any such action is brought against an indemnified party, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and to assume the defense thereof, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified to the extent that it may wish, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party shall not be responsible for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof; provided, however, that if any indemnified party shall have reasonably concluded that there may be one or more legal or equitable defenses available to such indemnified party which are additional to or conflict with those available to the indemnifying party, or that such claim or litigation involves or could have an effect upon matters beyond the scope of the indemnity agreement provided hereunder, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of such indemnified party (but shall have the right to participate therein with counsel of its choice) and such indemnifying party shall reimburse such indemnified party and any Person controlling such indemnified party for that portion of the fees and expenses of any counsel retained by the indemnified party which is reasonably related to the matters covered by the indemnity agreement provided hereunder. If the indemnifying party assumes the defense of a claim, the indemnified party shall agree to any settlement, compromise or discharge of a claim that the indemnifying party may recommend that has as the sole remedy monetary damages, that by its terms obligates the indemnifying party to pay the full amount of the liability in connection with such claim, and that has no finding or admission of any violation of any law or regulation or of the rights of any Person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the indemnified party. If the indemnifying party is not entitled to, or elects not to, assume the defense of a claim, it will not be obligated to pay the fees and expenses of more than one counsel with respect to such claim.

(d) If the indemnification provided for hereunder is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage, liability or action referred to herein, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amounts paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage, liability or action in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and of the indemnified party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such loss, claim, damage, liability or action as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the indemnifying party and of the indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the indemnifying party or by the indemnified party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant hereto does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to herein. No Person guilty or liable of fraudulent misrepresentation shall be entitled to contribution from any Person.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 6, in no event will any Electing Holder be required to undertake any liability or obligation under this Section 6 for an aggregate amount in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) received by such Electing Holder from the sale of such Electing Holder’s Registrable Shares giving rise to such liability or obligation (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 5 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission).

(f) The obligations of the Company under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability that the Company may otherwise have to any indemnified party and the obligations of any indemnifying party under this Section 6 shall be in addition to any liability that such indemnifying party may otherwise have to the Company. The remedies provided in this Section 5 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies that may otherwise be available to an indemnified party at law or in equity.

Section 7. Free Writing Prospectus. Each Holder represents that it has not prepared or had prepared on its behalf or used or referred to or distributed, and agrees that it will not prepare or have prepared on its behalf or use or refer to or, except as contemplated by the Agreement, distribute, any Free Writing Prospectus with respect to the sale of its Registrable Shares pursuant to the Registration Statement, in each case, without the prior written consent of the Company not to be unnecessarily withheld and, in connection with any underwritten offering, the underwriters. Any such Free Writing Prospectus consented to by the Company and the underwriters, as the case may be, is hereinafter referred to as a “Permitted Free Writing Prospectus.” The Company represents and agrees that it has treated and will treat, as the case may be, each Permitted Free Writing Prospectus as an Issuer Free Writing Prospectus, including in respect of timely filing with the Commission, legending and record keeping.

The Company shall cause its counsel to issue a legal opinion to the Company’s transfer agent if required by the Company’s transfer agent to effect the removal of any legend to the extent that such legend is permitted to be removed in accordance with the terms of Rule 144, the Agreement and the other applicable rules and regulations.

Section 9.

Remedies.

The Company acknowledges and agrees that any failure by the Company to comply with its obligations under the Agreement may result in material irreparable injury to the Holders for which there is no adequate remedy at law, that it will not be possible to measure damages for such injuries precisely and that, in the event of any such failure, the Holders or any holder of Registrable Shares may obtain such relief as may be required to specifically enforce the Company’s obligations hereunder. The Company further agrees to waive the defense in any action for specific performance that a remedy at law would be adequate.
