Related to Discontinuance of Disposition of Registerable Securities

• Allocation of Registrable Securities The initial number of Registrable Securities included in any Registration Statement and any increase in the number of Registrable Securities included therein shall be allocated pro rata among the Investors based on the number of Registrable Securities held by each Investor at the time such Registration Statement covering such initial number of Registrable Securities or increase thereof is declared effective by the SEC. In the event that an Investor sells or otherwise transfers any of such Investor’s Registrable Securities, each transferee or assignee (as the case may be) that becomes an Investor shall be allocated a pro rata portion of the then-remaining number of Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement for such transferor or assignee (as the case may be). Any shares of Common Stock included in a Registration Statement and which remain allocated to any Person which ceases to hold any Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement shall be allocated to the remaining Investors, pro rata based on the number of Registrable Securities then held by such Investors which are covered by such Registration Statement.

• Aggregation of Registrable Securities All Registrable Securities held or acquired by Persons who are Affiliates of one another shall be aggregated together for the purpose of determining the availability of any rights under this Agreement.

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

• Transfer of Registrable Securities Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, except in the case of (i) a transfer to the Corporation, (ii) a transfer by any Original Equity Owner Party or any of its Affiliates to its respective equityholders, (iii) a Public Offering, (iv) a sale pursuant to Rule 144 after the completion of the IPO or (v) a transfer in connection with a sale of the Corporation, prior to transferring any Registrable Securities to any Person (including, without limitation, by operation of law), the transferring Holder shall cause the prospective transferee to execute and deliver to the Corporation a Joinder agreeing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. Any transfer or attempted transfer of any Registrable Securities in violation of any provision of this Agreement shall be void, and the Corporation shall not record such transfer on its books or treat any purported transferee of such Registrable Securities as the owner thereof for any purpose.

• Right to Include Registrable Securities If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor or similar forms and other than pursuant to Section 3.1), whether or not for sale for its own account, it will each such time give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so and of such holders’ rights under this Section 3.2. Upon the written request of any such holder made within 10 business days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company will, subject to the terms of this Agreement, use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by the holders thereof, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended methods thereof as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the registration statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register (whether or not for sale for its own account), provided that if, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason either 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 of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of any holder or holders of Registrable Securities entitled to do so to request that such registration be effected as a registration under Section 3.1, and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay registering, shall be permitted to delay registering any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering such other securities. No registration effected under this Section 3.2 shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect any registration upon request under Section 3.1, nor shall any such registration hereunder be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 3.1. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 3.2. Underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer or other taxes (if any) in connection with each such registration shall be allocated pro rata among all Persons on whose behalf securities of the Company are included in such registration, on the basis of the respective amounts of the securities then being registered on their behalf.

• Restrictions on Public Sale by Holder of Registrable Securities To the extent not inconsistent with applicable law, each Holder whose securities are included in a registration statement agrees not to effect any sale or distribution of the issue being registered or a similar security of the Company, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, including a sale pursuant to Rule 144 under the Securities Act, during the 14 days prior to, and during the 90-day period beginning on, the effective date of such registration statement (except as part of such registration), if and to the extent requested in writing by the Company in the case of a non-underwritten public offering or if and to the extent requested in writing by the managing underwriter or Underwriters in the case of an underwritten public offering.

• Additional Registrable Securities Subject to Section 3.4, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of such Holder, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, any then available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause such additional Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of the Sponsor and the Target Holders.

• Suspension of Registration If the continued use of the Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Holders, suspend use of the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension (i) more than twice during any 12-month period; or (ii) for a period exceeding 60 days on any one occasion. In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Holders agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders in writing upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Holders such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Holders may reasonably request. The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Shelf Registration Statement or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by any Holder.

• Non-Registration Events The Company and the Subscriber agree that the Seller will suffer damages if any registration statement required under Section 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) above is not filed within 30 days after written request by the Holder and not declared effective by the Commission within 90 days after such request (or the Filing Date and Effective Date, respectively, in reference to the Registration Statement on Form SB-2 or such other form described in Section 10.1(iv)), and maintained in the manner and within the time periods contemplated by Section 10 hereof, and it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the Registration Statement described in Sections 10.1(i) or 10.1(ii) is not filed within 30 days of such written request, or is not declared effective by the Commission on or prior to the date that is 90 days after such request, or (ii) the registration statement on Form SB-2 or such other form described in Section 10.1(iv) is not filed on or before the Filing Date or not declared effective on or before the sooner of the Effective Date, or within five business days of receipt by the Company of a written or oral communication from the Commission that the registration statement described in Section 10.1(iv) will not be reviewed, or (iii) any registration statement described in Sections 10.1(i), 10.1(ii) or 10.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year but not more than 20 consecutive calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 10.4 is referred to herein as a "Non-Registration Event"), then, for so long as such Non-Registration Event shall continue, the Company shall pay, at the Subscriber's option, in cash or stock at the applicable Conversion Price, as Liquidated Damages to each holder of any Registrable Securities an amount equal to two percent (2%) per month or part thereof during the pendency of such Non-Registration Event, of the principal of the Notes issued in connection with the Offering, whether or not converted, then owned of record by such holder or issuable as of or subsequent to the occurrence of such Non-Registration Event. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 10.4 shall be due and payable within five (5) business days after demand in immediately available funds. In the event a Mandatory Redemption Payment is demanded from the Company by the Holder pursuant to Section 9.2 of this Subscription Agreement, then the Liquidated Damages described in this Section 10.4 shall no longer accrue on the portion of the Purchase Price underlying the Mandatory Redemption Payment, from and after the date the Holder receives the Mandatory Redemption Payment. It shall also be deemed a Non-Registration Event if at any time a Note is outstanding, there is less than 125% of the amount of Common Shares necessary to allow full conversion of such Note at the then applicable Conversion Price registered for unrestricted resale in an effective registration statement.

• Additional Registration Rights If Issuer at any time after the exercise of the Option proposes to register any shares of Issuer Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with an underwritten public offering of such Issuer Common Stock, Issuer will promptly give written notice to Grantee of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of any Selling Stockholder given within 30 days after receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock intended to be included in such underwritten public offering by the Selling Stockholder), Issuer will cause all such shares for which a Selling Stockholder requests participation in such registration to be so registered and included in such underwritten public offering; provided, however, that Issuer may elect to not cause any such shares to be so registered (i) if in the reasonable good faith opinion of the underwriters for such offering, the inclusion of all such shares by the Selling Stockholder would materially interfere with the marketing of such offering (in which case Issuer shall register as many shares as possible without materially interfering with the marketing of the offering), or (ii) in the case of a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a registration filed on Form S-4 of the Securities Act or any successor Form. If some but not all the shares of Issuer Common Stock with respect to which Issuer shall have received requests for registration pursuant to this Section 10(b) shall be excluded from such registration, Issuer shall make appropriate allocation of shares to be registered among the Selling Stockholders desiring to register their shares pro rata in the proportion that the number of shares requested to be registered by each such Selling Stockholder bears to the total number of shares requested to be registered by all such Selling Stockholders then desiring to have Issuer Common Stock registered for sale.
