5.8

(a) For three years following the closing of this Offering and so long as Subscriber holds at least 90% of the Common Stock purchased hereunder (including for this purpose shares of Common Stock issuable upon exercise of any warrant issued to Subscriber in the Offering) if the Company makes any public or nonpublic offering or sale of Common Stock, or securities convertible into Common Stock (any such security, a “New Security”) (other than (i) any Common Stock or other securities issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any securities of the Company issued or agreed or contemplated to be issued as of the date hereof; (ii) pursuant to the granting or exercise of employee stock options or other stock incentives pursuant to the Company’s stock incentive plans approved by the Board or similar plan where stock is being issued or offered to a trust, other entity or otherwise, for the benefit of any employees, officers or directors of the Company, in each case in the ordinary course of providing incentive compensation; or (iii) issuances of capital stock as full or partial consideration for a merger, acquisition, joint venture, strategic alliance, license agreement or other similar nonfinancing transaction), the Company will use its commercially reasonable best efforts to give Subscriber the opportunity to acquire from the Company for the same price (net of any underwriting discounts or sales commissions) and on the same terms as such securities are proposed to be offered to others, up to the amount of New Securities in the aggregate required to enable it to maintain its proportionate Common Stock-equivalent interest in the Company immediately prior to any such issuance of New Securities. The amount of New Securities that the Subscriber shall be entitled to purchase in the aggregate shall be determined by multiplying (x) the total number or principal amount of such offered New Securities by (y) a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock held by the Subscriber, and the

denominator of which is the number of shares of Common Stock then outstanding immediately preceding any offering of New Securities.

(b) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in no event shall the Subscriber purchase securities hereunder to the extent such purchase would result in such Subscriber, together with its Affiliates (as defined under Rule 405 under the Securities Act), owning a greater percentage interest in the Company than such Subscriber held immediately prior to the issuance of the New Securities (counting for such purposes all shares of Common Stock into or for which any securities owned by the Subscriber are directly or indirectly convertible or exercisable) and provided that such acquisition would not result in Subscriber or its Affiliates (i) being deemed to “control” the Company within the meaning of the Bank Holding Company Act of 1956, as amended (the “BHC Act”), and the Change in Bank Control Act of 1978, as amended (the “CIBC Act”) or the Home Owners Loan Act, as amended and any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (“HOLA”) or (ii) (A) owning, controlling or having the power to vote, voting securities (under the meaning of the HOLA or the BHC Act, whichever is applicable to the Company, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) equal to or greater than 5.0% of the aggregate number of outstanding shares of Voting Stock, or (B) owning or controlling shares of Common Stock in excess of 24.99% of the total stockholder’s equity of Company. For purposes of calculating the beneficial ownership of Subscriber and its Affiliates under this Section 5.8(b), (x) any security that is convertible into, or exercisable for, any such voting securities or Common Stock that is beneficially owned by Subscriber or its Affiliates shall be treated as fully converted or exercised, as the case may be, into the underlying voting securities or Common Stock, and (y) any security convertible into, or exercisable for, the Common Stock that is beneficially owned by any person other than Subscriber or any of its Affiliates shall not be taken into account).

(c) The Company will also use its commercially reasonable best efforts to give Subscriber the opportunity to acquire from the Company in any future public or private offering of the Company’s debt, equity or trust preferred securities other than a New Security (“Other Securities”). The Company and the Subscriber shall cooperate in good faith to facilitate the Subscriber’s participation in any offering involving a New Security or Other Securities, however, the Company will not be required to incur any expense, delay or risk that the offering may not be completed related to the Subscriber’s proposed participation in any such offering, including any required approvals or consents Subscriber must obtain. The assurances given to Subscriber described herein shall be personal to Subscriber and the transfer, assignment and/or conveyance of any rights arising from such assurances from Subscriber to any other person and/or entity is prohibited and shall be void and of no force or effect.

(d) In the event that the Offering is not consummated as a result, directly or indirectly, of a breach of this Agreement by Subscriber that causes or results in a failure of any of the conditions specified in Article VII hereof to be satisfied as of the Outside Date, and the Company has terminated this Agreement pursuant to Section 8.1(a)(ii) hereof, the parties shall deliver joint written instructions to the Escrow Agent, in accordance with the terms of Section 3(c) of the Escrow Agreement, to: (i) release to the Company from the Subscriber’s Deposit, an amount (the “Investor Liquidated Damages Amount”) equal to the lesser of (A) the full amount of the Deposit and (B) the product of (1) $1,500000.00 and (2)(x) the Purchase Price divided by (y) the aggregate purchase price for all shares of Common Stock subscribed for by all of the investors in the Offering; and (ii) release to Subscriber an amount equal to the difference between the Deposit and the Investor Liquidated Damages Amount, together with all Income (as defined in the Escrow Agreement).

Each party agrees to use its good faith efforts to assist the other party in obtaining such a protective order. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the disclosing party is nonetheless, in the opinion of its counsel, compelled to disclose the Confidential Information or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or significant penalty, such party, after notice to the non-disclosing party (to the extent legally permitted), may disclose such Confidential Information that the disclosing party is compelled to disclose and shall exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reasonable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such disclosed Confidential Information. For the avoidance of doubt, the Company may present this Agreement and the information provided in the Investor Questionnaire to

such parties as it deems advisable if compelled by law or called upon to establish the availability under any Federal or state securities laws of an exemption from registration of the Offering.

Schedule 5.3

REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Defined terms used but not defined in this Schedule 5.3 shall have the meaning ascribed to such terms in the agreement (including all schedules, annexes and exhibits thereto, the “Agreement”) to which this Schedule 5.3 is attached.

(a) The Company shall, as soon as practicable following the Closing Date, but in no event later than the 30th business day following the Closing Date, but subject to delay as set forth in paragraph (c) below (in which case as soon as possible after the lapse of such postponement or suspension in accordance with the terms thereof) (the “Registration Deadline’), file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Shelf Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale from time to time of all of the Registrable Securities by Subscriber and the other subscribers in the Offering, and the direct and indirect transferees of Subscriber and such other subscribers (Subscriber, such other subscribers and such direct and indirect transferees, collectively, the “Holders”), and shall, if such Shelf Registration Statement is not automatically effective, use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as soon as possible after filing; provided, however, that not less than three (3) business days prior to the filing of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Company shall provide the Holder (or the investment adviser of such Holder) with a copy of the Shelf Registration Statement proposed to be filed and the Company shall consider all appropriate comments provided by such Holder with respect to the Shelf Registration Statement for inclusion in the Shelf Registration Statement to be filed.

(b) The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Shelf Prospectus forming a part thereof to be usable by Subscriber (including by filing post-effective amendments to such Shelf Registration Statement (or a new Shelf Registration Statement if the initial Shelf Registration Statement expires)) until the earlier of (i) the date as of which all of Subscriber’s Registrable Securities have been sold (A) pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or another Registration Statement filed under the Securities Act (but in no event prior to any applicable period referred to in Section 4(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder) and/or (B) to the public in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (ii) the first anniversary of the Closing (or, if Subscriber is or becomes an officer or member of the Board of Directors of the Company, the fifth anniversary of the Closing) (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”). The Company shall not be deemed to have used its reasonable best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement effective during the Shelf Period if the Company voluntarily takes any action or omits to take any action that would result in Subscriber thereby not being able to offer and sell any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Shelf Registration Statement during the Shelf Period, unless such action or omission is required by applicable law and except as set forth in paragraph (c) below. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to meet (and continue to meet) the registrant eligibility requirements of Form S-3 during the Shelf Period.

(c) The Company shall not be required to effect a registration pursuant to Schedule 5.3 with respect to securities that are not Registrable Securities and shall be entitled to postpone the filing or initial effectiveness of, or suspend the use of, a Shelf Registration Statement if the Company notifies Subscriber in writing that in the good faith judgment of the Chief Executive Officer or the Chief Financial Officer of the Company such registration, offering or use would be materially detrimental to the Company or any material transaction under consideration by the Company or would require the disclosure of information that has not been, and is not otherwise required to be, disclosed to the public, the premature disclosure of which would be materially detrimental to the Company. No such postponement or suspension shall

exceed 60 consecutive days, no subsequent such postponement or suspension shall commence fewer than 15 days following the expiration of any preceding period, and the aggregate of all such postponements or suspensions shall not exceed 120 days in any 360-day period. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Schedule 5.3, but subject to the obligations of the Company in paragraphs (a) and (b) above, the Registration Deadline shall be extended if, for reasons beyond the reasonable control of the Company, any of the following (an “Interruption Event”) shall occur: (i) the SEC refuses to declare the applicable Registration Statement effective; (ii) if after it has become effective, such Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC such that the Registration Statement shall not be effective; or (iii) if the conditions to closing specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Registration Statement are not satisfied and are not otherwise waived. If an Interruption Event occurs, the Registration Deadline shall automatically be extended for a period equal to the duration of such Interruption Event.

(d) The Company shall, so long as a Holder owns any Registrable Securities, file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder, and it will take such further action as Subscriber may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable Subscriber to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 or 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such Rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the written request of Subscriber, the Company will deliver to Subscriber a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

(e) Subscriber shall, promptly on the Company’s request, (i) furnish to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the Registrable Securities held by Subscriber, the manner of holding any interests therein, and distribution of such Registrable Securities, as the Company may from time to time reasonably request in writing, and (ii) provide such consents as the Company may reasonably require with respect to disclosure of the content of the disclosures and any identification of Subscriber or its Registrable Securities or the circumstances in which they are held. Subscriber shall, upon receipt of any notice from the Company if (i) the SEC requests any amendment or supplement to, or any additional information in respect of, any Registration Statement or related prospectus, (ii) the SEC issues any stop order suspending the effectiveness of a Registration Statement or initiates any proceedings for that purpose, (iii) the Company receives any notice that the qualification of any Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction has been suspended or that any proceeding has been initiated for the purpose of suspending such qualification, or (iv) upon the discovery, or upon the occurrence of any event, which requires that any changes be made in such Registration Statement or any related prospectus so that such Registration Statement or prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances under which they were made (provided, however, that in the case of this subclause (iv), such notice need only state that an event of such nature has occurred, without describing such event), suspend the disposition of any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement or prospectus until Subscriber’s receipt of the copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus or until it is advised in writing by the Company that the use of the applicable prospectus may be resumed, and, if so directed by the Company Subscriber will deliver to the Company all copies, other than permanent file copies, then in Subscriber’s possession of any prospectus covering such Registrable Securities. If the Company shall have given any such notice during a period when a Registration Statement is effective, the Registration Deadline shall be extended by the number of days of such suspension period.

(f) All Registration Expenses incurred in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance under this Schedule 5.3 shall be borne by the Company. All Selling Expenses incurred in

connection with any registrations of its Registrable Securities hereunder, shall be borne by Subscriber. Subscriber shall not use any free writing prospectus (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) in connection with the sale of Registrable Securities without the prior written consent of the Company.

(g) In case of the Shelf Registration Statement effected by the Company subject to this Schedule 5.3, the Company shall keep the Subscriber, on behalf of Holder, advised in writing as to the initiation of such registration, and as to the completion thereof. In addition, the Company shall, to the extent applicable to the Shelf Registration Statement:

(i) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to the Shelf Registration Statement as may be necessary to keep such registration continuously effective and free from any material misstatement or omission necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances, not misleading, and comply with provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered thereby during the period referred to in clause (b) above;

(ii) update, correct, amend and supplement the Shelf Registration Statement as necessary;

(iii) notify the Holder promptly when the Shelf Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC, and furnish such number of prospectuses, including preliminary prospectuses, and other documents incident thereto as Holder may reasonably request from time to time;

(iv) use its commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify such Registrable Securities under such other securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions of the United States where an exemption is not available and as Holder may reasonably request to enable it to consummate the disposition in such jurisdiction of the Registrable Securities;

(v) notify Holder at any time when a prospectus relating to the Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under the Securities Act, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in the Shelf Registration Statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading and the Company will prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus, so that, as thereafter delivered to purchasers of such shares, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statements of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(vi) cause all such Registrable Securities to be listed on each securities exchange on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed and obtain all necessary approvals from The Nasdaq Global Market for trading thereon;

(vii) provide a transfer agent and registrar for all such Registrable Securities not later than the effective date of the Shelf Registration Statement;

(viii) upon the sale of any Registrable Securities pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement, direct the transfer agent to remove all restrictive legends from all certificates or other instruments evidencing the Registrable Securities;

(ix) To advise the Holder promptly after it has received notice or obtained knowledge of the existence of any stop order by the SEC delaying or suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement or of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for that purpose, and to make

every commercially reasonable effort to obtain the withdrawal of any order suspending the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement at the earliest possible time.

(h) (i) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, in connection with any registration under this Schedule 5.3, the Company shall, without limitation as to time, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, Subscriber (and its officers, directors, agents, partners (general and limited), members, equity holders and employees, each person who controls Subscriber (within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act or Section 20 of the Exchange Act), the officers, directors, agents, partners (general and limited), members, equity holders and employees of each such controlling person and any financial or investment adviser) (each, an “Registration Indemnified Party”), to the fullest extent lawful, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened), reasonable out-of-pocket costs (including, without limitation, reasonable costs of preparation and reasonable attorneys’ fees) and reasonable out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable expenses of investigation) (collectively, “Registration Losses”), as incurred, arising out of or based upon any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, prospectus (including the Shelf Prospectus) or form of prospectus or in any amendment or supplement thereto or in any preliminary prospectus, or arising out of or based upon any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except to the extent that the same arise out of or are based upon information furnished in writing to the Company by or on behalf such Registration Indemnified Party or Subscriber expressly for use therein; provided, that the foregoing indemnity agreement contained in this paragraph (g) with respect to such Registration Statement or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company, or any amendment or supplement thereto, shall not inure to the benefit of any Registration Indemnified Party from whom the person asserting any such losses, claims, damages or liabilities purchased Registrable Securities, where (A) prior to the written confirmation of the sale of Registrable Securities to such person (the “Applicable Time”), the Company shall have notified such Registration Indemnified Party in writing that such Registration Statement or prospectus contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state therein a material fact necessary in order to make the statements therein not misleading, (B) such untrue statement or omission of a material fact was corrected in a further amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement or prospectus and such Registration Statement or prospectus was provided to such Registration Indemnified Party prior to the Applicable Time, (C) such corrected Registration Statement or prospectus (excluding any document incorporated by reference therein) was not conveyed by the Registration Indemnified Party to such person at or prior to the Applicable Time and (D) such loss, claim, damage or liability would not have occurred had such corrected Registration Statement or prospectus (excluding any document incorporated by reference therein) been conveyed to such person as provided for in clause (C) above. Each indemnity and reimbursement of costs and expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such Registration Indemnified Party.

(ii) Subscriber agrees to, and the Company may require, as a condition to including any Registrable Securities of Subscriber in any Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Schedule 5.3 or to entering into any underwriting agreement with respect thereto, that the Company shall have received an undertaking reasonably satisfactory to it from Subscriber and each underwriter named in any such underwriting agreement (each a “Company Indemnifying Party”), severally and not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who have signed any Registration Statement and each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act and all other Holders of Registrable Securities (each, a “Company Indemnitee”), against any and all Registration Losses, insofar as such Registration Losses arise out of or are based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in such Registration Statement, or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein or furnished by the Company to

Company Indemnifying Party, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company or its representative by or on behalf the Company Indemnifying Party expressly for use therein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Subscriber shall not be liable for Registration Losses in an amount in excess of proceeds received in a sale under such Registration Statement (after deducting Selling Expenses).

(iii) Promptly after receipt by a Registration Indemnified Party or Company Indemnitee (each, an “Indemnified Party”) of written notice of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against, respectively, Company, on the one hand, or Subscriber, on the other hand (such person, the “Indemnifying Party”), give written notice to the Indemnifying Party of the commencement of such action; provided, however, that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its or their obligations under this Section, except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is actually materially prejudiced by such failure to give notice, and in no event shall such failure relieve the Indemnifying Party from any other liability which it may have to such Indemnified Party. If any such claim or action shall be brought against an Indemnified Party, and it shall notify the Indemnifying Party thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof, and, to the extent that it wishes, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party, and after notice from the Indemnifying Party to such Indemnified Party of its election to assume the defense thereof, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this Section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof, other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, further, that if, in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable judgment, a conflict of interest between the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party exists in respect of such claim, then the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim and to employ one firm of attorneys reasonably acceptable to the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, to represent such Indemnified Party. No Indemnified Party will consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement without the Indemnifying Party’s written consent to such judgment or settlement, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

(iv) If the indemnification provided for in this Schedule 5.3 is unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Registration Losses or is insufficient to hold such Indemnified Party harmless as contemplated therein, then the Indemnifying Party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such Indemnified Party as a result of such Registration Losses in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party in connection with the statements or omissions that resulted in such Registration Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by such Indemnified Party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Schedule 5.3 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this Schedule 5.3. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Schedule 5.3,

Subscriber shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which the dollar amount of the proceeds received by it from the sale of any Registrable Securities (after deducting Selling Expenses) exceeds the amount of any damages which it has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission. 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. Subscriber’s obligations in this Schedule 5.3 to contribute shall be several in proportion to the principal amount of Registrable Securities registered or underwritten, as the case may be, by or on behalf of it, and not joint.

(j) The agreements set forth in this Schedule 5.3 shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the successors and assigns of each of the parties to the Agreement, including, without limitation and without the need for an express assignment or assumption, direct and indirect transferees of Subscriber’s Registrable Securities to whom the Registrable Securities have been validly transferred under the terms of the Agreement. In furtherance, and not in limitation, of the foregoing, the Company agrees that such direct and indirect transferees shall be third party beneficiaries of the agreements set forth in this Schedule 5.3, and each such direct or indirect transferee shall have the right to enforce such agreements directly to the extent it deems such enforcement necessary or advisable to protect its rights hereunder; provided, however, that such direct or indirect transferee fulfills all of its obligations hereunder.

(k) The agreements set forth in this Schedule 5.3 shall survive any post-Closing termination of the Agreement until the earlier of (i) three years from the Closing Date and (ii) the date on which Subscriber no longer owns any Registrable Securities. The indemnification obligations under paragraph (f) above shall survive any post-Closing termination of the Agreement and/or this Schedule 5.3.

As used herein, the following terms have the following meanings:

“Registrable Securities” means all shares of Voting Common Stock and Class B Non-Voting Stock and Warrants and Warrant Shares issued by the Company in the Offering and any securities which may be issued or distributed in respect thereof by way of stock dividend or stock split or other distribution, recapitalization or reclassification. As to any particular Registrable Securities, such Registrable Securities shall cease to be Registrable Securities when (i) a registration statement with respect to the sale by a Holder thereof shall be or have been declared effective under the Securities Act and such securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with such registration statement, (ii) such securities shall have been sold to the public in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act or (iii) such securities shall have ceased to be outstanding.

“Registration Expenses” means all expenses incurred by the Company in effecting any registration pursuant to this Schedule 5.3 (whether or not any registration or prospectus becomes effective or final) including all registration, filing and listing fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, blue sky fees and expenses, and expenses of the Company’s independent accountants (including a commercially reasonable comfort letter to the extent the Registrable Securities are sold in an underwritten public offering), and the reasonable fees and costs of counsel to Subscriber and other participants in any registration pursuant to this Schedule 5.3 up to $20,000, but shall not include Selling Expenses.

“Registration Statement” means any registration statement of the Company under the Securities Act that permits the public offering of any of the Registrable Securities and the Shelf Prospectus, amendments and supplements to such registration statement, including post-effective amendments, all exhibits and all material incorporated by reference or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such registration statement. No Registrable Securities may be registered under more than one Registration Statement at any one time.

“Selling Expenses” means all discounts, selling commissions, and stock transfer taxes for the Subscriber and/or any underwriter applicable to the sale of Registrable Securities.

“Shelf Prospectus” means the prospectus included in any Shelf Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented by any prospectus supplement with respect to the terms of the offering of any portion of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration Statement and all other amendments and supplements to such prospectus, including post-effective amendments, and all materials incorporated by reference in such prospectus.

“Shelf Registration Statement” means a Registration Statement of the Company filed with the SEC on either (a) Form S-3 (or any successor form or other appropriate form under the Securities Act) or (b) if the Company is not permitted to file a Registration Statement on Form S-3, an evergreen Registration Statement on Form S-1 (or any successor form or other appropriate form under the Securities Act), in each case for an offering to be made on a continuous or delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act covering Registrable Securities. To the extent that the Company is a “well-known seasoned issuer” (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act), a “Shelf Registration Statement” shall be deemed to refer to an automatic shelf registration statement (as defined in Rule 405 under the Securities Act) on Form S-3.
