The Initial Registration Statement shall be on Form SB-2 or Form S-3 (except if the Company is not then eligible to register for resale the Registrable Securities on Form SB-2 or Form S-3, in which case such registration shall be on another appropriate form in accordance herewith). The Company shall cause the Initial Registration Statement to become effective and remain effective as provided herein. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause the Initial Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event no later than the Effectiveness Date.

(b) If: (i) the Initial Registration Statement is not declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Date; (ii) the Additional Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to the Additional Registration Statement Filing Date; or (iii) after the Initial Registration Statement is filed with and declared effective by the SEC, the Initial Registration Statement ceases to be effective (by suspension or otherwise) as to all Registrable Securities to which it is required to relate at any time prior to the expiration of the Effectiveness Period (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 or more than 20 consecutive calendar days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the registration statement is declared effective); (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i) or (ii) the date on which such Event occurs, or for purposes of clause (iii) the date which such 30 day or 20 consecutive day period (as the case may be) is exceeded, being referred to as the “Event Date”), then until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Investor affected by the Event in cash at Fair Market Value, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to 1.0%, for each thirty (30) day period (prorated for partial periods), calculated on a daily basis of the aggregate amount of the purchase price of the Shares purchased by such Investor and affected by the Event.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, additional liquidated damages (other than interest on unpaid amounts) shall cease to accrue on the earlier of (x) the first anniversary of the Closing or (y) the first day on which all Registrable Securities may be sold immediately without registration under the Securities Act and without volume restrictions.

(c) The Company shall bear and pay all expenses incurred in connection with any registration, filing or qualification of Registrable Securities with respect to the registrations pursuant to this Section 1.2 for each Investor, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printer's fees, accounting fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions relating to Registrable Securities and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Investors.

1.3. Piggyback Registration. The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least 30 days prior to filing any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of effecting a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding registration statements relating to any registration under Section 1.2 of this Agreement or to any employee benefit plan or a corporate reorganization or other transaction covered by Rule 145 promulgated under the Securities Act, or a registration on any registration form which does not permit secondary sales or does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of Registrable Securities) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities then held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder shall, within 20 days after receipt of the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing, and in such notice shall inform the Company of the number of Registrable Securities such Holder wishes to include in such registration statement. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(a) Underwriting. If a registration statement under which the Company gives notice under this Section 1.3 is for an underwritten offering, then the Company shall so advise the Holders of Registrable Securities. In such event, the right of any such Holder’s Registrable Securities to be included in a registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be conditioned upon such Holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All Holders proposing to distribute their Registrable Securities through such underwriting shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the managing underwriter or underwriter(s) selected for such underwriting. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter determine(s) in good faith that marketing factors require a limitation of the number of shares to be underwritten, then the managing underwriter(s) may exclude shares (including Registrable Securities) from the registration and the underwriting, and the number of shares that may be included in the registration and the underwriting shall be allocated, first, to the Company, second to Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares proposed to be registered by the Company and the number of Registrable Securities each such Holder has requested registration and underwriting as described above shall be restricted so that the number of Registrable Securities included in any such registration is not reduced below 20% of the shares included in the registration. If any Holder disapproves of the terms of any such underwriting, such Holder may elect to withdraw therefrom by written notice, given in accordance with Section 4.5 hereof, to the Company and the underwriter, delivered at least 20 days prior to the effective date of the registration statement. Any Registrable Securities excluded or withdrawn from such underwriting shall be excluded and withdrawn from the registration. For any Holder that is a partnership or corporation, the partner, retired partners and shareholders of such Holder, or the estates and family members of any such partners and retired partners and any trusts for the benefit of any of the foregoing persons shall be deemed to be a single “Holder”, and any pro rata reduction with respect to such “Holder” shall be based upon the aggregate amount of shares carrying registration rights owned by all entities and individuals included in such “Holder”, as defined in this sentence.

 
4

 
(b) Expenses. All expenses incurred in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 1.3, including without limitation all registration and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders (but excluding underwriters’ discounts and commissions), shall be borne by the Company. Each Holder participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall bear such Holder’s proportionate share (based on the number of shares sold by such Holder over the total number of shares included in such registration at the time it goes effective) of all discounts, commissions or other amounts payable to underwriters or brokers in connection with such offering.

1.4. Inability to use Single Registration. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event the SEC determines that a registration statement registering all of the Registrable Securities that the Company seeks to register in a single registration statement would not be includable in a secondary registration on a delayed basis pursuant to Rule 415, or requires the Company to reduce the number of Shares and Warrant Shares to be included in the registration statement, the Company shall have the right to, first, exclude the Warrant Shares from the registration statement; second, exclude the Shares of Holders requesting inclusion of their Registrable Securities in such registration statement on a pro rata basis based on the number of shares proposed to be registered by the Company and the number of Registrable Securities each such Holder has requested to have registered; provided that, prior to any exclusion pursuant to this Section 1.4, the Company shall have excluded from such registration statement (i) the holders of which have no right to require to be included in such registration statement and (ii) all securities with respect to which the holders have waived any applicable registration rights. In such event, the obligation of the Company to pay the liquidated damages penalty described in Section 1.2(b) for the failure of the Initial Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC by the Effectiveness Date shall apply only to the Registrable Securities included in such Initial Registration Statement. In addition, the Company shall file an additional registration statement to register any of the Registrable Securities that are excluded from the Initial Registration Statement (the “Additional Registration Statement”) by the Additional Registration Statement Filing Date. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause the Additional Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof. The Company shall use its reasonable commercial efforts to keep the Additional Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act during the Effectiveness Period.

1.5. Obligations of the Company. Whenever required under this Section 1 to effect the registration of any Registrable Securities, the Company shall, as expeditiously as reasonably possible:

(a) Prepare and file with the SEC a registration statement with respect to such Registrable Securities and use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and, upon the request of the Investors holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities registered thereunder, keep such Registration Statement effective during the Effectiveness Period;

(b) Prepare and file with the SEC such amendments and supplements to such Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement as may be necessary to comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all securities covered by such Registration Statement;

(c) Furnish to the Investors such numbers of copies of a prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as they may reasonably request in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by them (provided that the Company would not be required to print such prospectuses if readily available to Investors from any electronic service, such as on the EDGAR filing database maintained at www.sec.gov);

(d) Use its commercially reasonable efforts to register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under such other securities' or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as shall be reasonably requested by the Investors; provided that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to qualify to do business or to file a general consent to service of process in any such states or jurisdictions;

(e) In the event of any underwritten public offering, enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, with the managing underwriter(s) of such offering (each Investor participating in such underwriting shall also enter into and perform its obligations under such an agreement);

(f) Notify each Investor of Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing;

 
6

 
(g) Cause all such Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder to be listed on each securities exchange or nationally recognized quotation system on which similar securities issued by the Company are then listed; and

(h) Provide a transfer agent and registrar for all Registrable Securities registered pursuant hereunder and a CUSIP number for all such Registrable Securities, in each case not later than the effective date of such registration.

1.6. Furnish Information. It shall be a condition precedent to the Company's obligations to take any action pursuant to this Section 1 with respect to the Registrable Securities of any selling Investor that such Investor shall furnish to the Company such information regarding such Investor, the Registrable Securities held by such Investor, and the intended method of disposition of such securities as shall be required by the Company or the managing underwriters, if any, to effect the registration of such Investor's Registrable Securities.
 
1.7. Delay of Registration. No Investor shall have any right to obtain or seek an injunction restraining or otherwise delaying any such registration as the result of any controversy that might arise with respect to the interpretation or implementation of this Section 1.
 
1.8. Indemnification.
 
(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor, any underwriter (as defined in the Securities Act) for such Investor and each person, if any, who controls such Investor or underwriter within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state securities law, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon any of the following statements, omissions or violations (collectively, a “Violation”): (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement, including any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein or any amendments or supplements thereto (collectively, the “Filings”), (ii) the omission or alleged omission to state in the Filings a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company of the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, any state securities law or any rule or regulation promulgated under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or any state securities law; and the Company will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 1.8(a) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.8(a) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Company (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), nor shall the Company be liable in any such case for any such loss, claim, damage, liability, or action to the extent that it arises out of or is based upon a Violation that occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished expressly for use in connection with such registration by any such Investor, underwriter or controlling person.

 
7

 
(b) To the extent permitted by law, each Investor will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its directors, each of its officers who has signed any Registration Statement, each person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of the Securities Act, any underwriter, any other Investor selling securities in such Registration Statement and any controlling person of any such underwriter or other Investor, against any losses, claims, damages, or liabilities (joint or several) to which any of the foregoing persons may become subject under the Securities Act, the Exchange Act or other Federal or state securities law insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereto) arise out of or are based upon any Violation, in each case to the extent (and only to the extent) that such Violation occurs in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by such Investor expressly for use in connection with such registration; and each such Investor will pay any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by any person to be indemnified pursuant to this Section 1.8(b) in connection with investigating or defending any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the indemnity agreement contained in this Section 1.8(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Investor (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld); provided, however, in no event shall any indemnity under this subsection 1.8(b) exceed the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Investor.

(c) Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 1.8 of notice of the commencement of any action (including any governmental action), such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any indemnifying party under this Section 1.6, deliver to the indemnifying party a written notice of the commencement thereof and the indemnifying party shall have the right to participate in, and, to the extent the indemnifying party so desires, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly noticed, to assume the defense thereof with counsel mutually satisfactory to the parties; provided, however, that an indemnified party (together with all other indemnified parties that may be represented without conflict by one counsel) shall have the right to retain one separate counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the indemnifying party, if representation of such indemnified party by the counsel retained by the indemnifying party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such indemnified party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. The failure to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party within a reasonable time of the commencement of any such action, if materially prejudicial to its ability to defend such action, shall relieve such indemnifying party of any liability to the indemnified party under this Section 1.8, but the omission so to deliver written notice to the indemnifying party will not relieve it of any liability that it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 1.8.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in Sections 1.8(a) and (b) is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an indemnified party with respect to any loss, claim, damage or expense referred to therein, then the indemnifying party in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party hereunder, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or expense 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 or alleged statements or omissions that resulted in such loss, liability, claim or expense 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 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. In no event shall any Investor be required to contribute an amount in excess of the gross proceeds from the offering received by such Investor.

 
8

 
(e) Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent that the provisions on indemnification and contribution contained in the underwriting agreement entered into in connection with the underwritten public offering are in conflict with the foregoing provisions, the provisions of the underwriting agreement shall control.

(f) The obligations of the Company and Investors under this Section 1.8 shall survive the completion of any offering of Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement under this Section 1, and otherwise.

1.9. Reports Under Securities Exchange Act. With a view to making available the benefits of certain rules and regulations of the SEC, including Rule 144, that may at any time permit an Investor to sell securities of the Company to the public without registration or pursuant to a registration on Form SB-2, the Company agrees to:
 
(a) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144;

(b) take such action as is necessary to enable the Investors to utilize Form SB-2 for the sale of their Registrable Securities;

(c) file with the SEC in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of the Company under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act; and

(d) furnish to any Investor, so long as the Investor owns any Registrable Securities, forthwith upon request (i) a written statement by the Company that it has complied with the reporting requirements of Rule 144, the Securities Act and the Exchange Act, or that it qualifies as a registrant whose securities may be resold pursuant to Form SB-2, (ii) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of the Company and such other reports and documents so filed by the Company, and (iii) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing any Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such securities without registration or pursuant to such form.

 
9

 
1.10. Transfer or Assignment of Registration Rights. The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 1 may be transferred or assigned, but only with all related obligations, by an Investor (a) to a transferee or assignee who acquires at least 50,000 shares (subject to appropriate adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends and combinations) of Registrable Securities from such transferring Investor (or, if less, all Registrable Securities then held by such transferring Investor), (b) to a transferee or assignee who holds Registrable Securities immediately prior to such transfer or assignment, (c) in the case of an Investor that is an investment fund, to an investment fund under common management with such Investor, (d) in the case of an Investor that is a partnership or limited liability company, to any partners or members of such partnership or limited liability company, (e) in the case of an Investor that is a corporation, to any stockholders of such corporation, and (f) in the case of an Investor that is a trust, to any beneficiaries of such trust.; provided that in the case of (a), (i) prior to such transfer or assignment, the Company is furnished with written notice stating the name and address of such transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned, (ii) such transferee or assignee agrees in writing to be bound by and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and (iii) such transfer or assignment shall be effective only if immediately following such transfer or assignment the further disposition of such securities by the transferee or assignee is restricted under the Securities Act.
