REGISTRATION RIGHTS AGREEMENT

A. The Company and the Investor are parties to a Securities Purchase Agreement, dated as of August 22, 2016 (the “Purchase Agreement”), pursuant to which the Investor is purchasing (x) 20,000 shares of 8% Series A Cumulative Convertible Preferred Stock of the Company (the “Preferred Stock”) and (y) Warrants (as defined in the Purchase Agreement); and

B. In connection with the transactions contemplated by the Purchase Agreement, and pursuant to the terms of the Purchase Agreement, the Parties desire to enter into this Agreement in order to grant to the Investor and certain of its permitted transferees certain demand and piggyback registration rights covering its Common Stock (as defined herein), all in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth below.

1. Demand Registrations.

(a) Short­Form Registrations.  At any time after six (6) months following the date hereof, Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities may request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any successor form (each, a “Short­Form Registration”), which may, if so requested, be a “shelf” registration under Rule 415 under the Securities Act.  A registration shall not count as one of the permitted Short­Form Registrations unless and until a registration statement relating thereto has become effective under the Securities Act.  Each request for a Short­Form Registration shall specify the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered.

(b) Long­Form Registrations.  At any time that a Holder is then eligible to request registration under the Securities Act of all or any portion of its Registrable Securities but where Short­Form Registration pursuant to Section 1(a) of this Agreement is not available to be used by the Company in respect of such proposed registration, but in any event no sooner than six (6) months after the date hereof, Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities shall be entitled to request a registration on Form S-1 or any similar form (each, a “Long­Form Registration”).  A registration shall not count as one of the permitted Long­Form Registrations unless and until a registration statement relating thereto has become effective under the Securities Act and each requesting Holder is able to register and sell at least fifty percent (50%) of its Registrable Securities thereunder.

(c) Priority on Demand Registration.  Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities shall have the right to request that a Demand Registration be effected as an underwritten offering at any time, subject to this Section 1 by delivering to the Company a notice setting forth such request and the number of Registrable Securities sought to be

(d) The Company shall not be obligated to effect (i) more than four (4) Short-Form Registrations or Two (2) Long­Form Registration pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) more than

(e) Notwithstanding and in addition to the other registration obligations set forth in this Section 1, in the event the Securities and Exchange Commission informs the Company that all of the Registrable Securities cannot, as a result of the application of Rule 415, be registered for resale as a secondary offering on a single registration statement (the “Initial Registration Statement”), the Company agrees to promptly (i) inform each of the Holders thereof and use its commercially reasonable efforts to file amendments to the Initial Registration Statement as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission and/or (ii) withdraw the Initial Registration Statement and file a new registration statement (a “New Registration Statement”), in either case covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered by the Securities and Exchange Commission, on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale the Registrable Securities as a secondary offering; provided, however, that prior to filing such amendment or New Registration Statement, the Company shall be obligated to use its commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration of all the Registrable Securities in accordance with the Commission Guidance, including without limitation, Compliance and Disclosure Interpretation 612.09.  In the event the Company amends the Initial Registration Statement or files a New Registration Statement, as the case may be, under clauses (i) or (ii) above, the Company will use its commercially reasonable efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission, as promptly as allowed by the Securities and Exchange Commission or Commission Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on the Initial Registration Statement, as amended, or the New Registration Statement, as amended (the “Remainder Registration Statements”).

(f) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if any Commission Guidance sets forth a limitation of the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on a particular Registration Statement (notwithstanding the Company’s commercially reasonable efforts to advocate with the Securities and Exchange Commission for the registration of all or a greater number of Registrable Securities), then, unless otherwise directed in writing by a Holder as to its Registrable Securities, the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced pro rata among the Holders based on the total number of Registrable Securities held by such Holders.

2. Piggyback Registrations.

(a) Right to Piggyback.  Whenever the Company proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act, and the registration form proposed to be used may be used to register the resale of Registrable Securities (each, a “Piggyback Registration”), the Company shall give prompt written notice (in any event at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the

(b) Reduction of Offering.  If the managing underwriter(s) for a Piggyback Registration that is to be an underwritten offering advises the Company and the Holders that, in their opinion, the dollar amount or number of Common Stock or other securities which the Company desires to sell, taken together with Common Stock or other securities, if any, as to which registration has been demanded pursuant to written contractual arrangements with third parties, if any, the Registrable Securities as to which registration has been requested under this Section 2, and the Common Stock or other securities as to which registration has been requested pursuant to the written contractual piggyback registration rights of other stockholders of the Company, exceeds the Maximum Threshold, then the Company shall include in any such registration:

(i) If the registration is undertaken for the Company’s account: (A) first, the Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold, and (B) second, to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Registrable Securities and the Common Stock or other securities proposed to be sold for the account of Holders and other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to any written contractual piggyback registration rights with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities and Common Stock or other securities which such Holders and other Persons have requested be included in such underwritten offering, regardless of the number of Registrable Securities and Common Stock or other securities held by each such Holder or other Person), and

(ii) If the registration is a “demand” registration undertaken at the demand of one or more Persons other than the Company and any Holder, (A) the Common Stock or other securities for the account of such demanding Persons that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; (B) to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clause (A), the Common Stock or other securities that the Company desires to sell that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold; and (C) to the extent that the Maximum Threshold has not been reached under the foregoing clauses (A) and (B), the Registrable Securities and the Common Stock or other securities proposed to be sold for the account of Holders and other Persons that the Company is obligated to register pursuant to any written contractual piggyback registration rights with such Persons and that can be sold without exceeding the Maximum Threshold (pro rata in accordance with the number of Registrable Securities and Common Stock or other securities which such Holders and other Persons have requested be included in such underwritten offering, regardless of the number of Registrable Securities and Common Stock or other securities held by each such Holder or other Person).

(c) Selection of Underwriters.  If any Piggyback Registration is an underwritten primary offering, the investment banker(s) and manager(s) for the offering shall be selected by the Company.

3. Market Standoff Agreement.

(a) Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, the Company may delay the filing of any registration statement and may withhold any and all efforts to cause such registration statement to be become effective if the Company determines in good faith that such registration will (i) materially and adversely interfere with or affect the negotiation or consummation of any actual or pending material transaction that is being contemplated by the Company (whether or not a final decision has been made to undertake such transaction), or (ii) otherwise have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company provided, however, that the Company may not exercise such right to delay or to withhold efforts more than once in any consecutive 12 month period or for more than ninety (90) days. Without in any way limiting the foregoing, if the Company exercises its right to delay or to withhold efforts pursuant to this Section 3(a), then the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the applicable registration statement filed or declared effective, as the case may be, at the earliest practicable date after the Company’s bases for delaying or withholding its efforts are no longer applicable.

(b) The Company (i) shall not effect any public sale or distribution of its equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the period beginning on the date the Company receives a request for an underwritten offering from Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities and continuing until one hundred eighty (180) days after the completion of such underwritten offering, unless the underwriters managing the underwritten offering otherwise agree after consultation with a majority of the Registrable Securities included in such underwritten offering, and (ii) shall cause each executive officer and director of the Company and each holder of its Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Common Stock, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement (other than in a registered public offering) to agree not to effect any public sale or distribution (including sales pursuant to Rule 144

(c) Each Holder of Registrable Securities agrees that in connection with any public offering of the Company’s equity securities, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, and upon the request of the managing underwriter(s) in such offering, such Holder shall not, without the prior written consent of such managing underwriter(s), during the period commencing on the date that is ten (10) days prior to the completion of such offering and continuing until one hundred eighty (180) days after the commencement of an underwritten offering, (i) offer, pledge, sell, contract to sell, grant any option or contract to purchase, purchase any option or contract to sell, hedge the beneficial ownership of, or otherwise dispose of, directly or indirectly, any shares of Common Stock or any securities convertible into, exercisable for, or exchangeable for shares of Common Stock (whether such shares or any such securities are then owned by the Holder or are thereafter acquired), or (ii) enter into any swap or other arrangement that transfers to another, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of such securities, whether any such transaction described in clause (i) or (ii) above is to be settled by delivery of Common Stock or such other securities, in cash or otherwise.  The foregoing provisions of this Section 3(c) shall not apply to sales of Registrable Securities to be included in such offering pursuant to Sections 1 and 2, and shall be applicable to the holders of Registrable Securities only if all executive officers and directors of the Company and each holder of its Common Stock, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such Common Stock, purchased from the Company at any time after the date of this Agreement are subject to the same restrictions.  Each holder of Registrable Securities agrees to execute and deliver such other agreements as may be reasonably requested by the Company or the managing underwriter which are consistent with the foregoing or which are necessary to give further effect thereto.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Section 3(c), each holder of Registrable Securities shall be released, pro rata, from any lock-up agreement entered into pursuant to this Section 3(c) in the event and to the extent that the managing underwriter or the Company permits any discretionary waiver or termination of the restrictions of any lock-up agreement pertaining to any executive officer, director or other holder of Common Stock.

(xiii) use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to enable the Holders thereof to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities;

(xiv) permit any Holder who, in the reasonable judgment of the Company upon the advice of counsel, might be deemed to be an underwriter or controlling person of the Company, and, if applicable, any underwriter, a cold comfort letter from the Company’s independent public accountants in customary form and covering such matters of the type customarily covered by cold comfort letters as the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities being sold reasonably request; and
