The number of shares designated in the Registration Statement to be registered shall include all of the Registrable Securities and shall include appropriate language regarding reliance upon Rule 416 to the extent permitted by the Commission. The Company will notify the Purchaser of the date of effectiveness of the Registration Statement promptly upon effectiveness. The Company shall request that the effective time of the Registration Statement be 4:00 p.m. Eastern Time on the effective date and the Company shall file the final prospectus pursuant to Rule 424 of the Securities Act no later than 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time on the second business day following the date the Registration Statement is declared effective by the Commission. In the event that the number of shares so registered shall prove to be insufficient to register the resale of all of the Registrable Securities, then the Company shall be obligated to file, within thirty (30) days of notice from any Purchaser, a further Registration Statement registering such remaining shares and shall use its reasonable best efforts to prosecute such additional Registration Statement to effectiveness within ninety (90) days of the date of such notice. With respect to any Securities sold on the Early Closing Date, the Company shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Securities, the Securities sold to other Purchasers pursuant to a Subscription Agreement on such Early Closing Date or the Securities described in Section (ii) or (iii) on Exhibit C to be included in the Registration Statement if the Acquisition Closing Date does not occur. With respect to any Securities sold on the Acquisition Closing Date, the Company shall not permit any securities other than the Registrable Securities, the Securities sold to other Purchasers on the Early Closing Date or the Acquisition Closing Date or the Securities described in Exhibit C to be included in the Registration Statement.
(C) Except as otherwise provided in Section 5(K)(ii), below, the Company will maintain the Registration Statement or post-effective amendment filed under the terms of this Subscription Agreement effective under the Securities Act until the earlier of (i) the date that all of the Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to such Registration Statement, (ii) all Registrable Securities have been otherwise transferred to Persons who may trade such shares without restriction under the Securities Act, and the Company has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such securities not bearing a restrictive legend, or (iii) all Registrable Securities may be sold at any time, without volume or manner of sale limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any similar provision then in effect under the Securities Act in the opinion of counsel to the Company (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall respond as promptly as possible to any comments received from the Commission with respect to the Registration Statement or any amendment thereto and as promptly as possible provide the Purchaser with true and complete copies of all correspondence from and to the Commission relating to the Registration Statement provided that the Company shall redact therefrom any information that constitutes material non-public information.
13
(D) If, at any time during which the Registration Statement required by Section 5(A) above is not effective, the Company shall not file a registration statement pursuant to the Securities Act in connection with the proposed offer and sale of any of its securities by it or any of its security holders (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 that is not related to the Acquisition, or S-8, or other successor form) unless the Company shall include the Registrable Securities of each Purchaser in such Registration Statement in which case the Company may make such filing.
(E) All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by the Company in connection with the preparation and filing of the Registration Statement, in making filings with NASD or NASDR (including, without limitation, pursuant to NASD Rule 2710), and in complying with applicable federal securities and Blue Sky laws (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ fees of the Company) shall be borne by the Company. The Purchaser shall bear the cost of underwriting and/or brokerage discounts, fees and commissions, if any, applicable to the Registrable Securities being registered, as well as the fees and expenses of their counsel. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale in such states as any Purchaser reasonably designates. However, the Company shall not be required to qualify in any state which will require an escrow or other restriction relating to the Company and/or the Purchasers, or which will require the Company to qualify to do business in such state or require the Company to file therein any general consent to service of process. The Company at its expense will supply each of the Purchasers with one unbound copy of the applicable Registration Statement and any prospectus included therein and other related documents.
(F) Certificates evidencing the Registrable Securities shall not contain any legend: (i) following any sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 144 or an effective Registration Statement, except as required by applicable law, or (ii) if such Registrable Securities are eligible for legend removal under Rule 144(k), or (iii) if such legend is not required under applicable requirements of the Securities Act (including judicial interpretations and pronouncements issued by the staff of the Commission). The Company agrees that following the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or at such time as such legend is no longer required under this Section 5(F) pursuant to an applicable exemption from registration, it will, no later than three (3) business days following the delivery by Purchaser to the Company’s transfer agent of a certificate representing Registrable Securities accompanied by appropriate stock power or other required documentation, as applicable, issued with a restrictive legend (such third Business Day, the “Legend Removal Date”), deliver or cause to be delivered to such Purchaser a certificate representing such shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends, in each case without charge to the Purchaser. The Company may not make any notation on its records or give instructions to any transfer agent of the Company that enlarge the restrictions on transfer set forth in this Section 5(F). Without limiting the Purchaser’s other legal remedies, the Company shall immediately upon demand reimburse the Purchaser for the cost and losses occasioned by any buy-in resulting from the Company’s failure to timely deliver unlegended share certificates, provided Purchaser provides documentation confirming such buy-in was initiated by Purchaser’s broker, securities custodian, or other such outside party, and not by Purchaser.
14
(G) In the event that (i) the Registration Statement is not filed with the Commission within sixty (60) days of the Early Closing Date, (ii) such Registration Statement (A) is not declared effective by the Commission by the earlier of (a) one hundred twenty (120) days (or in the event the Registration Statement receives a “full review” by the Commission, one hundred fifty (150) days) from the Early Closing Date or (b) five (5) business days after the Company receives clearance by the Commission to request effectiveness, or (B) is declared effective by the deadline set forth in this Section 5(G)(ii)(A) but does not register all of the Registrable Securities; (iii) such Registration Statement is not maintained as effective by the Company for the Effectiveness Period (except as allowed by 5(K)(ii) below), (iv) trading in the Common Stock is suspended or if the Common Stock is delisted from the Nasdaq Capital Market (or other principal exchange on which the Common Stock is traded) for any reason for more than five (5) consecutive trading days, or (v) the additional Registration Statement referred to in Section 5(b) is not filed within thirty (30) days or declared effective within ninety (90) days as set forth therein (each a “Registration Default”), then the Company will pay Purchaser (pro rated on a daily basis), as partial compensation for such failure and not as a penalty one and one-half percent (1.5%) of the purchase price of the Securities purchased from the Company and held by the Purchaser for each month (or portion thereof) until such trading is no longer suspended (in the case of clause (iv)), until the Registration Statement has been filed (in the case of clause (i) and clause (v)), and in the event of late effectiveness (in case of clause (ii) above) or lapsed effectiveness (in the case of clause (iii) above), (regardless of whether one or more such Registration Defaults are then in existence, but without duplication of such partial compensatory payments) until such Registration Statement has been declared effective, provided, however, that in no event shall such payments, in the aggregate, exceed ten percent (10%) of the initial purchase price of the Securities with respect to each Purchaser. Such compensatory payments shall be made to the Purchasers in cash, no later than the fifth business day following the end of each month in which a Registration Default(s) occurred, provided, however, that the payment of such amounts shall not relieve the Company from its obligations to register the Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 5.
(H) If the Company does not remit the payment to the Purchaser as set forth in Section 5(G) above, the Company will pay the Purchaser interest at the rate of 12% per annum, or the highest rate permitted by law, if less, until such sums have been paid in full, and reasonable costs of collection, including attorneys’ fees, in addition to the liquidated damages. The registration of the Registrable Securities pursuant to this provision or payment of such compensatory amounts shall not affect or limit the Purchaser’s other rights or remedies as set forth in this Subscription Agreement or at law.
15
(I) [Intentionally omitted.]
(J) At all times after one (1) year following the Closing Date, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to prepare and furnish to Purchaser and make publicly available in accordance with Rule 144(c) such information as is required for Purchaser to sell the Registrable Securities under Rule 144. The Company further covenants that it will take such further action as any holder of Registrable Securities may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Person to sell such Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144.
(K) In the case of each registration effected by the Company pursuant to any section herein, the Company will keep each Purchaser advised in writing as to the initiation of each registration and as to the completion thereof and shall promptly (and in any event no later than the next business day) notify each Purchaser when each such Registration Statement has been declared effective. At its expense, the Company will:
(i) | Prepare and file with the Commission 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 a disposition of all securities covered by such registration statement; |
(ii) | Promptly (and in any event no later than one business day) notify the Purchaser 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 or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of the Purchasers, prepare and furnish to them a reasonable number of copies of a supplement or an amendment to such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the Purchaser, such prospectus shall not include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading or incomplete in light of the circumstances then existing; provided that, for not more than (X) fifteen (15) consecutive business days (or a total of not more than thirty (30) calendar days in any twelve (12) month period) and (Y) up to an additional thirty (30) business days (consecutive or not) in any twelve (12) month period only if such material information relates to a merger or acquisition transaction, the Company may suspend the use of a prospectus included in the Registration Statement if, in the judgment of the Company, it is advisable to suspend use of such prospectus due to pending material developments or other events that have not yet been publicly disclosed and as to which the Company believes public disclosure would be detrimental to the Company, or should the Company determine that a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement is otherwise required (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, further, that the Company shall promptly (and in any event no later than one business day) (A) notify each Purchaser in writing of the existence of any facts or circumstances giving rise to an Allowed Delay (but in no event, without the prior written consent of such Purchaser, shall the Company disclose to such Purchaser any facts or circumstances constituting material non-public information) and (B) advise each Purchaser in writing to cease all sales under such registration statement until the termination of the Allowed Delay; |
16
(iii) | Use its commercially reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a registration statement, and, if such an order is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order at the earliest possible moment and to notify Purchaser promptly, (and in any event no later than one business day) (and, in the event of an underwritten offering, the managing underwriter) of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof; |
(iv) | If NASD Rule 2710 requires any broker-dealer to make a filing prior to executing a sale of Registrable Securities by an Purchaser, make an Issuer Filing with the NASD Corporate Financing Department pursuant to NASD Rule 2710 and use its reasonable best efforts to respond within five business days to any comments received from NASD in connection therewith. |
(v) | Otherwise use its commercially reasonable best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the Commission. |
(L) To the extent the Purchaser includes any Securities in a registration statement pursuant to the terms hereof, the Company will indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser, its directors, officers, shareholders, partners, employees and agents, and each Person, if any, who controls Purchaser within the meaning of the Securities Act (each a “Purchaser Party”), from and against, and will reimburse such Purchaser Party with respect to, any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation (collectively, “Losses”) to which such Purchaser Party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus or exhibit contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, damage, liability, cost or expense arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with written information furnished by the Purchaser or any such controlling Person in writing specifically for use in the preparation thereof.
17
(M) To the extent the Purchaser includes any Securities in a registration statement pursuant to the terms hereof, the Purchaser will indemnify and hold harmless the Company, its directors and officers and any controlling Person from and against, and will reimburse the Company, its directors and officers and any controlling Person with respect to, any and all loss, damage, liability, cost or expense to which the Company, its directors and officers or such controlling Person may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, damages, liabilities, costs or expenses are caused by any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in such registration statement, any prospectus contained therein or any amendment or supplement thereto, or arise out of or are based upon the omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, 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 so made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished by or on behalf of the Purchaser specifically for use in the preparation thereof and provided further, that the maximum amount that may be recovered from the Purchaser shall be limited to the amount of net proceeds received by the Purchaser from the sale of such Securities.
(N) To the extent any indemnification by an indemnifying party is prohibited or limited by law, the indemnifying party agrees to make the maximum contribution with respect to any amounts for which it would otherwise be liable hereunder to the extent permitted by law, provided that (i) no contribution shall be made under circumstances where the indemnifying party would not have been liable for indemnification pursuant to the provisions hereof, (ii) no seller of securities guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any seller of securities who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation, and (iii) the amount of the contribution together with any other payments made in respect of such loss, damage, liability or expense, by any seller of securities shall be limited to the net amount of proceeds received by such seller from the sale of such securities.

The undersigned understands that the securities acquired as a result of the subscription right provided in Section 1 hereof are being offered without registration under the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws and in reliance upon the exemption for transactions by the Company not involving any public offering; that the availability of such exemption is, in part, dependent upon the truthfulness and accuracy of the representations made by the undersigned in Section 2 hereof herein; that the Company will rely on such representations in accepting any subscriptions for the Securities and that the Company may take such steps as it considers reasonable to verify the accuracy and truthfulness of such representations in advance of accepting or rejecting the undersigned's subscription.

If any action shall be brought against any Purchaser Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, such Purchaser Party shall promptly notify the Company in writing, and the Company shall have the right to assume the defense thereof with counsel of its own choosing.
