(e) The Company is obligated to register the Company Shares in any qualifying registration statement filed by the Company with the Securities and Exchange Commission after the Note Closing (excluding any registration statements filed on Forms S-4 or S-8 or post-effective amendments to existing registration statements), so that holders of the Company Shares shall be entitled to sell the same simultaneously with and upon the terms and conditions as the securities sold for the account of the Company or other shareholders are being sold pursuant to any such registration statement, subject to such reasonable lockup provisions as may be proposed by the underwriter of said registration statement.
