Each request for a registration from a Purchaser must specify the approximate number of Securities requested to be registered. Upon receipt of any such request, the Company will promptly (but in no event later than 10 days following receipt thereof) deliver notice of such request to all other Purchasers who shall then have 10 days from the date such separate notice is given to notify the Company in writing of their desire to be included in such registration.
