2. REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT.
 
2.1.            Shelf Registration.
 
(a) Shelf Registration. At any time commencing after the effective time of the Series C Purchase Agreement, if the Company is eligible to file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto), the Majority Holders shall have the right to request in writing that the Company (i) register all or any portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities by filing with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement for a public offering of such shares of Registrable Securities (a “Shelf Request”) (which Shelf Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method of disposition thereof) and (ii) shall use its best efforts to register under the Securities Act for public sale such Registrable Securities of such Holder. As promptly as practicable, but no later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Shelf Request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all other Holders of Registrable Securities. The Company shall include in the Shelf Registration (i) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Initiating Holder and (ii) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by any other Holder which shall have made a written request (which request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof) to the Company for inclusion thereof in such registration within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt of such written notice from the Company, in each cash subject to the provisions of Section 2.5(d). Accordingly, once an Initiating Holder has made a Shelf Request and the Company has sent the required notice of such Shelf Request to all other Holders, such other Holders may elect to participate in the registration or not, but such Holders will not have the right to make a separate Shelf Request until the expiration of the ninety (90) calendar day period following the date of the initial Shelf Request. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible following a Shelf Request, use its best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC a Shelf Registration Statement providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by all such Holders, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the intended methods of disposition thereof specified in such Shelf Request or further requests. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter and to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for the period specified in Section 4.1(b). If the sole or lead managing Underwriter (if any) or the Majority Holders of the Registration shall advise the Company in writing that in its opinion additional disclosure not required by Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) is of material importance to the success of the offering, then such Registration Statement shall include such additional disclosure. Any Holder requesting inclusion in a registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.1(a) may, at any time prior to the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement (and for any reason), revoke such request by delivering written notice to the Company revoking such requested inclusion. For the avoidance of doubt, a Shelf Request shall not count against the number of Demand Registration rights pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2(b).
 
Whenever the Company shall effect a registration pursuant to a Shelf Request, no securities other than the Registrable Securities shall be covered by such registration unless the Majority Holders of the Registration shall have consented in writing to the inclusion of such other securities.
 
The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.1(a) shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of this Section 2.

(b) Effectiveness of Shelf Registration. If a Shelf Registration is filed pursuant to Section 2.1(a), the Company shall use its best efforts to keep the Shelf Registration continuously effective through the date on which all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without any limit as to volume (or any successor provision having similar effect); provided, however, that prior to the termination of such Shelf Registration, the Company shall first furnish to each Holder of Registrable Securities participating in such Shelf Registration (i) an opinion, in form and substance satisfactory to the Majority Holders of the Registration, of counsel for the Company satisfactory to the Majority Holders of the Registration stating that such Registrable Securities are freely sellable pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act without any limit as to volume (or any successor provision having similar effect) or (ii) a “No-Action Letter” from the staff of the SEC stating that the SEC would not recommend enforcement action if the Registrable Securities included in such Shelf Registration were sold in a public sale other than pursuant to an effective Registration Statement.
 
(c) Form S-3 Eligibility. At any time commencing after the effective time of the Series C Purchase Agreement, if the Company becomes eligible to file with the SEC a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form thereto) for a primary offering, or becomes re-eligible after losing such eligibility, the Company shall, as promptly as practicable, but no later than fourteen (14) calendar days after gaining or regaining such eligibility, as applicable, provide written notice of such event to the Holders.
 
2.2. Demand Registration.
 
(a) Right to Demand Registration. Subject to Section 2.2(c), at any time commencing after the effective time of the Series C Purchase Agreement, the Majority Holders shall have the right to request in writing that the Company register all or part of such Holders’ Registrable Securities (a “Request”) (which Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holders and the intended method of disposition thereof) by filing with the SEC a Demand Registration Statement. As promptly as practicable, but no later than ten (10) calendar days after receipt of a Request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all Holders of Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 2.5(d), the Company shall include in a Demand Registration (i) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Initiating Holders and (ii) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by any other Holder which shall have made a written request (which request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof) to the Company for inclusion thereof in such registration within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt of such written notice from the Company. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible following a Request, use its best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC a Demand Registration Statement providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by all such Holders, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the intended methods of disposition thereof specified in such Request or further requests. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Demand Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter and to keep such Demand Registration Statement continuously effective for the period specified in Section 4.1(b).
 
A Request may be withdrawn prior to the filing of the Demand Registration Statement by the Majority Holders of the Registration (a “Withdrawn Request”) and a Demand Registration Statement may be withdrawn at any time (and for any reason) prior to the effectiveness of such Demand Registration Statement (a “Withdrawn Demand Registration”), and such withdrawals shall be treated as a Demand Registration which shall have been effected pursuant to this Section 2.2, unless the Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement reimburse the Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket Registration Expenses relating to the preparation and filing of such Demand Registration Statement (to the extent actually incurred), provided; however, that if a Withdrawn Request or Withdrawn Demand Registration is made (A) because of a material adverse change in the business, financial condition or prospects of the Company, or (B) because the sole or lead managing Underwriter advises that the amount of Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering be reduced pursuant to Section 2.2(b) by more than 20% of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement, or (C) because of a postponement of such registration pursuant to Section 2.7, then such withdrawal shall not be treated as a Demand Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.2 (and shall not be counted toward the number of Demand Registrations), and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith. Any Holder requesting inclusion in a Demand Registration may, at any time up to the effectiveness of the Demand Registration Statement (and for any reason) revoke such request by delivering written notice to the Company revoking such requested inclusion.
 
The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of Section 2 hereof.
 
(b) Limitations on Registrations. The rights of the Majority Holders to request Demand Registrations pursuant to Section 2.2(a) are subject to the limitation that in no event shall the Company be obligated to pay Registration Expenses of more than two Demand Registrations initiated by the Majority Holders; provided, however, (i) that to the extent the Company does not include in what would otherwise be the final registration for which the Company is required to pay Registration Expenses the number of Registrable Securities requested to be registered by the Holders by reason of Section 2.5(d) such number of Demand Registrations shall be increased once for each such occurrence and (ii) the Majority Holders shall be deemed not to have expended a Demand Registration right to the extent the Company terminates a Shelf Registration pursuant to Section 2.1(b) prior to the time that all Registrable Securities covered by such Shelf Registration have been sold.
 
 
5
 
 
(c) Registration of Other Securities. Whenever the Company shall effect a Demand Registration, no securities other than the Registrable Securities shall be covered by such registration unless the Majority Holders of the Registration shall have consented in writing to the inclusion of such other securities.
 
(d) Effective Registration Statement; Suspension. A Demand Registration Statement shall not be deemed to have become effective (and the related registration will not be deemed to have been effected) (i) unless it has been declared effective by the SEC and remains effective in compliance with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such Demand Registration Statement for the time period specified in Section 4.1(b), (ii) if the offering of any Registrable Securities pursuant to such Demand Registration Statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC or any other governmental agency or court, or (iii) if, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, the conditions to closing specified in an underwriting agreement to which the Company is a party are not satisfied other than by the sole reason of any breach or failure by the Holders of Registrable Securities or are not otherwise waived.
 
(e) Other Registrations. During the period (i) beginning on the date of a Request and (ii) ending on the date that is ninety (90) calendar days after the date that a Demand Registration Statement filed pursuant to such Request has been declared effective by the SEC or, if the Majority Holders of the Registration shall withdraw such Request or such Demand Registration Statement, on the date of such Withdrawn Request or such Withdrawn Registration Statement, the Company shall not, without the consent of the Majority Holders of the Registration, file a registration statement pertaining to any other securities of the Company.
 
(f) Registration Statement Form. Registrations under this Section 2.2 shall be on such appropriate registration form of the SEC (i) as shall be selected by the Majority Holders of the Registration and (ii) which shall be available for the sale of Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition specified in the requests for registration. The Company agrees to include in any such Registration Statement all information which any selling participating Holder, upon advice of counsel, shall reasonably request.
 
2.3. Incidental Registration.
 
(a) Right to Include Registrable Securities. If the Company at any time or from time to time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 (or any successor form to such forms) and other than pursuant to Section 2.1 or 2.2) and files (i) a shelf registration statement or (ii) a registration statement other than a shelf registration statement, or proposes to do a take down off of an effective shelf registration statement, whether or not pursuant to registration rights granted to other holders of its securities and whether or not for sale for its own account, the Company shall deliver prompt written notice (which notice shall be given at least forty-five (45) calendar days prior to the filing of such registration statement or five (5) calendar days prior to the filing of any preliminary prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b), or the prospectus supplement pursuant to Rule 424(b) (if no preliminary prospectus supplement is used)) to all Holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to undertake such registration or offering, describing in reasonable detail the proposed registration and distribution (including the anticipated range of the proposed offering price, the class and number of securities proposed to be registered and the distribution arrangements) and of such Holders’ right to participate in such registration under this Section 2.3 as hereinafter provided. Subject to the other provisions of this paragraph (a) and Section 2.3(b), upon the written request of any Holder made within twenty (20) calendar days after the receipt of such written notice (which request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities to be registered and the intended method of disposition thereof), the Company shall effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities requested by Holders to be so registered (an “Incidental Registration”), 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 (thereby making such registration statement an Incidental Registration Statement), and shall cause such Incidental Registration Statement to become and remain effective with respect to such Registrable Securities in accordance with the registration procedures set forth in Section 4. If an Incidental Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, immediately upon notification to the Company from the Underwriter of the price at which such securities are to be sold, the Company shall so advise each participating Holder. The Holders requesting inclusion in an Incidental Registration may, at any time up to the effectiveness of the Incidental Registration Statement (and for any reason), revoke such request by delivering written notice to the Company revoking such requested inclusion.
 
If at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any securities and up to the effectiveness of the Incidental Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason 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, (A) in the case of a determination not to register, the Company 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 incurred in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, subject to the rights of Holders to cause such registration to be effected as a registration under Sections 2.1 or 2.2, and (B) in the case of a determination to delay such registration, the Company shall be permitted to delay the registration of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.7; provided, however, that if such delay shall extend beyond one hundred twenty (120) calendar days from the date the Company received a request to include Registrable Securities in such Incidental Registration, then the Company shall again give all Holders the opportunity to participate therein and shall follow the notification procedures set forth in the preceding paragraph. There is no limitation on the number of such Incidental Registrations pursuant to this Section 2.3 which the Company is obligated to effect.
 
The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.3 shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of Section 2 hereof.

If an Incidental Registration involves an Underwritten Offering (on a firm commitment basis), and the sole or the lead managing Underwriter, as the case may be, of such Underwritten Offering shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each Holder requesting registration) on or before the date five (5) calendar days prior to the date then scheduled for such offering that, in its opinion, the amount of securities (including Registrable Securities) requested to be included in such registration exceeds the amount which can be sold in such offering without materially interfering with the successful marketing of the securities being offered (such writing to state the basis of such opinion and the approximate number of such securities which may be included in such offering without such effect), the Company shall include in such registration, to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised may be included in such offering without such effect, (i) in the case of a registration initiated by the Company, (A) first, the securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account, (B) second the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Holders, allocated pro rata in proportion to the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them and (C) third, other securities of the Company to be registered on behalf of any other Person, and (ii) in the case of a registration initiated by a Person other than the Company, (A) first, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any Persons initiating such registration and the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the other Holders, (B) second, any other Persons, allocated pro rata in proportion to the number of securities requested to be included in such registration by each of them and (C) third, the securities that the Company proposes to register for its own account, provided, however, that in the event the Company will not, by virtue of this Section 2.3(b), include in any such registration all of the Registrable Securities of any Holder requested to be included in such registration, such Holder may, upon written notice to the Company given within three (3) calendar days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter, reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to have included in such registration, whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it desires to have included will be so included and the Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a corresponding increase in the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration.
 
(c) Selection of Underwriters. If any Incidental Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the sole or managing Underwriter(s) and any additional investment bankers and managers to be used in connection with such registration shall be subject to the approval of the Majority Holders of the Registration (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).
 
2.4. Expenses.
 
The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any Demand Registration, Incidental Registration or Shelf Registration, whether or not such registration shall become effective and whether or not all Registrable Securities originally requested to be included in such registration are withdrawn or otherwise ultimately not included in such registration, except as otherwise provided with respect to a Withdrawn Request and a Withdrawn Demand Registration in Section 2.2(a).
 
2.5. Underwritten Offerings.
 
(a) Underwriting; Selection of Underwriters. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Section 2.1(a) or Section 2.2(a), if the Initiating Holders so elect, the offering of such Registrable Securities pursuant to a Shelf Registration or a Demand Registration shall be in the form of a firm commitment Underwritten Offering; and such Initiating Holders may require that all Persons (including other Holders) participating in such registration sell their Registrable Securities to the Underwriters at the same price and on the same terms of underwriting applicable to the Initiating Holders. If any Shelf Registration or Demand Registration involves an Underwritten Offering, the sole or managing Underwriters and any additional investment bankers and managers to be used in connection with such registration shall be selected by the Majority Holders of the Registration, subject to the approval of the Company (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld).
 
(b) Underwriting Agreement. If requested by the sole or lead managing Underwriter for any Underwritten Offering effected pursuant to a Shelf Registration or Demand Registration, the Company shall enter into a customary underwriting agreement with the Underwriters for such offering, such agreement to be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Majority Holders of the Registration and to contain such representations and warranties by the Company and such other terms as are generally prevailing in agreements of that type, including, without limitation, indemnification and contribution to the effect and to the extent provided in Section 5.
 
(c) Holders of Registrable Securities to be Parties to Underwriting Agreement. The Holders of Registrable Securities to be distributed by Underwriters in an Underwritten Offering contemplated by Section 2 shall be parties to the underwriting agreement between the Company and such Underwriters and may, at such Holders’ option, require that any or all of the representations and warranties by, and the other agreements on the part of, the Company to and for the benefit of such Underwriters shall also be made to and for the benefit of such Holders of Registrable Securities and that any or all of the conditions precedent to the obligations of such Underwriters under such underwriting agreement be conditions precedent to the obligations of such Holders of Registrable Securities; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any representations or warranties with respect to written information specifically provided by a selling Holder for inclusion in the Registration Statement. No Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties to, or agreements with, the Company or the Underwriters other than representations, warranties or agreements regarding such Holder, such Holder’s Registrable Securities and such Holder’s intended method of disposition.

In the event the Company shall not, by virtue of this Section 2.5(d), include in any Shelf Registration or Demand Registration all of the Registrable Securities of any Holder requesting to be included in such Shelf Registration or Demand Registration, such Holder may, upon written notice to the Company given within five (5) calendar days of the time such Holder first is notified of such matter, reduce the amount of Registrable Securities it desires to have included in such Shelf Registration or Demand Registration, whereupon only the Registrable Securities, if any, it desires to have included will be so included and the Holders not so reducing shall be entitled to a corresponding increase in the amount of Registrable Securities to be included in such Shelf Registration or Demand Registration.
 
(e) Participation in Underwritten Registration.

2.7. Postponements.
 
The Company shall be entitled to postpone a Shelf Registration or a Demand Registration and to require the Holders of Registrable Securities to discontinue the disposition of their securities covered by a Shelf Registration during any Blackout Period (as defined below) (i) if the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith that effecting such a registration or continuing such disposition at such time would have a material adverse effect upon a proposed sale of all (or substantially all) of the assets of the Company or a merger, reorganization, recapitalization or similar current transaction materially affecting the capital structure or equity ownership of the Company, or (ii) if the Company is in possession of material information which the Board of Directors of the Company determines in good faith it is not in the best interests of the Company to disclose in a Registration Statement at such time; provided, however, that the Company may only delay a Shelf Registration or a Demand Registration pursuant to this Section 2.7 by delivery of a Blackout Notice (as defined below) either (i) under Section 2.1 within thirty (30) calendar days of delivery of a Shelf Request or (ii) under Section 2.2, within thirty (30) calendar days of delivery of the Request for such Registration, as applicable, and may delay a Shelf Registration or a Demand Registration and require the Holders of Registrable Securities to discontinue the disposition of their securities covered by a Shelf Registration only for a reasonable period of time not to exceed ninety (90) calendar days (or such earlier time as such transaction is consummated or no longer proposed or the material information has been made public) (the “Blackout Period”). There shall not be more than one Blackout Period in any twelve (12) month period. The Company shall promptly notify the Holders in writing (a “Blackout Notice”) of any decision to postpone a Demand Registration or a Shelf Registration or to discontinue sales of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration pursuant to this Section 2.7 and shall include a general statement of the reason for such postponement, an approximation of the anticipated delay and an undertaking by the Company promptly to notify the Holders as soon as a Demand Registration or a Shelf Registration may be effected or sales of Registrable Securities covered by a Shelf Registration may resume. In making any such determination to initiate or terminate a Blackout Period, the Company shall not be required to consult with or obtain the consent of any Holder, and any such determination shall be the Company’s sole responsibility. Each Holder shall treat all notices received from the Company pursuant to this Section 2.7 constituting material inside information in the strictest confidence and shall not trade on or disseminate such information. If the Company shall postpone the filing of a Demand Registration Statement or a Shelf Registration Statement, the Majority Holders of the Registration shall have the right to withdraw the request for registration. Any such withdrawal shall be made by giving written notice to the Company within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Blackout Notice. Such withdrawn registration request shall not be treated as a Shelf Request effected pursuant to Section 2.1 or a Demand Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 (and shall not be counted towards the number of Demand Registrations effected), and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith.

The Company shall also indemnify any Underwriters of the Registrable Securities, their Agents and each Person who controls any such Underwriter (within the meaning of the Securities Act) to the same extent as provided above with respect to the indemnification of the Holders of Registrable Securities.

Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder or Underwriter.
 
5.3. Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings.
 
Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party of notice of any Claim or the commencement of any action or proceeding involving a Claim under this Section 5, such indemnified party shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party pursuant to Section 5, (i) notify the indemnifying party in writing of the Claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided, that the failure of any indemnified party to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under this Section 5, except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially and actually prejudiced thereby and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party otherwise than under this Section 5, and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of such indemnified party unless (A) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees and expenses, (B) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party within ten (10) calendar days after receiving notice from such indemnified party that the indemnified party believes it has failed to do so, (C) in the reasonable judgment of any such indemnified party, based upon advice of counsel, a conflict of interest may exist between such indemnified party and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the indemnified party notifies the indemnifying party in writing that it elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such indemnified party) or (D) such indemnified party is a defendant in an action or proceeding which is also brought against the indemnifying party and reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party which are not available to the indemnifying party. No indemnifying party shall be liable for any settlement of any such claim or action effected without its written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. In addition, without the consent of the indemnified party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), no indemnifying party shall be permitted to consent to entry of any judgment with respect to, or to effect the settlement or compromise of any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder (whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim), unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (1) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim, (2) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party, and (3) does not provide for any action on the part of any party other than the payment of money damages which is to be paid in full by the indemnifying party.
 
5.4. Contribution.
 
If the indemnification provided for in Section 5.1 or 5.2 from the indemnifying party for any reason is unavailable to (other than by reason of exceptions provided therein), or is insufficient to hold harmless, an indemnified party hereunder in respect of any Claim, then the indemnifying party, in lieu of indemnifying such indemnified party, shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of such Claim in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, in connection with the actions which resulted in such Claim, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of such indemnifying party and indemnified party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any action in question, including any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact, has been made by, or relates to information supplied by, such indemnifying party or indemnified party, and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such action. If, however, the foregoing allocation is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.
 
 
13
 
 
The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 5.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take into account the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph. The amount paid or payable by a party as a result of any Claim referred to in the immediately preceding paragraph shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth in Section 5.3, any legal or other fees, costs or expenses reasonably incurred by such party in connection with any investigation or proceeding. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 5.4 to the contrary, no indemnifying party (other than the Company) shall be required pursuant to this Section 5.4 to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such Claims, less all amounts previously paid by such indemnifying party with respect to such Claims. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. 
 
5.5. Other Indemnification.
 
Indemnification similar to that specified in the preceding Sections 5.1 and 5.2 (with appropriate modifications) shall be given by the Company and each selling Holder of Registrable Securities with respect to any required registration or other qualification of securities under any Federal or state law or regulation of any governmental authority, other than the Securities Act. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract.
 
5.6. Indemnification Payments.
 
The indemnification and contribution required by this Section 5 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of any investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or any expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.
 
6. GENERAL.
 
6.1.            Adjustments Affecting Registrable Securities.
 
The Company agrees that it shall not effect or permit to occur any combination or subdivision of shares which would adversely affect the ability of the Holder of any Registrable Securities to include such Registrable Securities in any registration contemplated by this Agreement or the marketability of such Registrable Securities in any such registration.
 
6.2. Registration Rights to Others.
 
The Company has not previously entered into an agreement with respect to its securities granting any registration rights to any Person. If the Company shall at any time hereafter provide to any holder of any securities of the Company rights with respect to the registration of such securities under the Securities Act, (i) such rights shall not be in conflict with or adversely affect any of the rights provided in this Agreement to the Holders and (ii) such rights may only be on terms or conditions more favorable to such holder than the terms and conditions provided in this Agreement, with the consent of the Majority Holders and in such case, the Company shall provide (by way of amendment to this Agreement or otherwise) such more favorable terms or conditions to the Holders.
 
6.3. Availability of Information; Rule 144; Rule 144A; Other Exemptions.
 
The Company covenants that it shall timely file any reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act (including, but not limited to, the reports under Sections 13 and 15(d) of the Exchange Act referred to in subparagraph (c) of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act), and that it shall 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 Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144 and Rule 144A promulgated under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any other rule or regulation now existing or hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Holder of Registrable Securities, the Company shall deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.
 
6.4. Amendments and Waivers.
 
The provisions of this Agreement may not be amended, modified, supplemented or terminated, and waivers or consents to departures from the provisions hereof may not be given, without the written consent of the Company and the Majority Holders, provided, however, that no such amendment, modification, supplement, waiver or consent to departure shall reduce the aforesaid percentage of Registrable Securities without the written consent of all of the Holders of Registrable Securities; and provided, further, that to the extent any Holder would be disproportionately adversely affected by such amendment or waiver, then such Holder’s consent shall also be required. Nothing herein shall prohibit any amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent to departure the adverse effect of which is limited only to those Holders who have agreed to such amendment, modification, supplement, termination, waiver or consent to departure.

6.6. Successors and Assigns.
 
This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties hereto and their respective heirs, successors and permitted assigns (including any permitted transferee of Registrable Securities). Any Holder may assign to any transferee of its Registrable Securities (other than a transferee that acquires such Registrable Securities in a registered public offering or a sale pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or any successor rule)), its rights and obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, if any transferee shall take and hold Registrable Securities, such transferee shall promptly notify the Company and by taking and holding such Registrable Securities such transferee shall automatically be entitled to receive the benefits of and be conclusively deemed to have agreed to be bound by and to perform all of the terms and provisions of this Agreement as if it were a party hereto (and shall, for all purposes, be deemed a Holder under this Agreement). If the Company shall so request, any heir, successor or assign (including any transferee) shall agree in writing to acquire and hold the Registrable Securities subject to all of the terms hereof. For purposes of this Agreement, “successor” for any entity other than a natural person shall mean a successor to such entity as a result of such entity’s merger, consolidation, sale of substantially all of its assets, or similar transaction. Notwithstanding any contrary provision herein, the Company, in consultation with and subject to the consent of the Investor, may permit any Person who subsequently acquires Registrable Securities to become a “Holder” hereunder by executing a Joinder Agreement, in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit A.
 
6.7. Counterparts.
 
This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which, when so executed and delivered, shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which counterparts, taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
 
6.8. Descriptive Headings, Etc.
 
The headings in this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and shall not limit or otherwise affect the meaning of terms contained herein. Unless the context of this Agreement otherwise requires: (i) words of any gender shall be deemed to include each other gender; (ii) words using the singular or plural number shall also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (iii) the words “hereof”, “herein” and “hereunder” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement, and Section and paragraph references are to the Sections and paragraphs of this Agreement unless otherwise specified; (iv) the word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless otherwise specified; (v) “or” is not exclusive and (vi) provisions apply to successive events and transactions.

6.10. Governing Law.
 
This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State of Texas, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflicting provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas, or any other jurisdiction) that would cause the laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas to be applied. In furtherance of the foregoing, the internal law of the State of Texas will control the interpretation and construction of this Agreement, even if under such jurisdiction’s choice of law or conflict of law analysis, the substantive law of some other jurisdiction would ordinarily apply.

6.11. Remedies; Specific Performance.
 
(a) If: (i) the Company is required to file a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2 of this Agreement and fails to file such Registration Statement with the SEC within sixty (60) calendar days of receipt of a request to register the Registrable Securities, (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated under the Securities Act within five (5) calendar days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, (iii) prior to the effective date of a Registration Statement, the Company fails to file a pre-effective amendment and otherwise respond in writing to comments made by the SEC in respect of such Registration Statement within twenty (20) calendar days of the receipt of comments by, or notice from, the SEC that such amendment is required in order for such Registration Statement to be declared effective, (iv) a Registration Statement that has been filed with the SEC is not declared effective by the SEC within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days of the date such Registration Statement was filed or (v) in the case of a Shelf Registration Statement or a Demand Registration Statement for an offering on a delayed or continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason, including due to a Blackout Notice, to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Holders are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities, for more than twenty (20) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of thirty (30) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any twelve (12) month period, (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event”, and for purposes of clauses (i) and (iv), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date which such twenty (20) calendar day period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (v) the date on which such twenty (20) or thirty (30) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Holders may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to the Holders (apportioned on a pro rata basis by the percentage of Registrable Securities that are not then covered by a Registration Statement owned by each Holder) an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of (1) the product of (A) one and one-half percent (1.5%) multiplied by (B) the quotient of (I) the number of each Holders’ Registrable Securities that are not then covered by a Registration Statement that is then effective and available for use by the Holders divided by (II) the total number of the Holders’ Registrable Securities multiplied by (2) the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investor pursuant to the Series C Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, as applicable; provided, however, that, in the event that none of the Holders’ Registrable Securities are then covered by a Registration Statement that is effective and available for use by the Holders, the quotient of (I) divided by (II) in clause (1)(B) herein shall be deemed to equal 1. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to the Holders under this Agreement shall be nine percent (9%) of the aggregate amount paid by the Investor pursuant to the Series C Purchase Agreement and the Purchase Agreement, as applicable. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 6.11(a) in full within seven (7) calendar days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of eighteen percent (18%) per annum (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Holders, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.
 
(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.11(a), the parties hereto acknowledge that money damages would not be an adequate remedy at law if any party fails to perform in any material respect any of its obligations hereunder, and accordingly agree that each party, in addition to any other remedy to which it may be entitled pursuant to Section 6.11(a), at law or in equity, shall be entitled to seek to compel specific performance of the obligations of any other party under this Agreement, without the posting of any bond, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any court of the United States or any State thereof having jurisdiction, and if any action should be brought in equity to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement, none of the parties hereto shall raise the defense that there is an adequate remedy at law. An Event shall constitute a breach of this Agreement entitling the Holders to remedies hereunder.
 
(c) Except as otherwise provided by law, a delay or omission by a party hereto in exercising any right or remedy granted pursuant to this Agreement shall not impair the right or remedy or constitute a waiver of or acquiescence in any such breach. No remedy provided hereunder, by law or in equity shall be exclusive of any other remedy. All available remedies under shall be cumulative.
 
6.12. Entire Agreement.
 
  This Agreement is intended by the parties as a final expression of their agreement and intended to be a complete and exclusive statement of the agreement and understanding of the parties hereto in respect of the subject matter contained herein. There are no restrictions, promises, representations, warranties, covenants or undertakings relating to such subject matter, other than those set forth or referred to herein. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Company and the other parties to this Agreement with respect to such subject matter.
 
6.13. Nominees for Beneficial Owners.
 
In the event that any Registrable Securities are held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its election in writing delivered to the Company, be treated as the holder of such Registrable Securities for purposes of any request or other action by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of any number or percentage of shares of Registrable Securities held by any holder or holders of Registrable Securities contemplated by this Agreement. If the beneficial owner of any Registrable Securities so elects, the Company may require assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such owner’s beneficial ownership of such Registrable Securities.
 
 
17
 
 
6.14. Consent to Jurisdiction.
 
(a) Each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself or himself and its or his property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of any Texas state court sitting in Dallas county or federal court of the United States of America sitting in Dallas county, and any appellate court presiding thereover, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder or for recognition or enforcement of any judgment relating thereto, and each of the parties hereto hereby irrevocably and unconditionally agrees that all claims in respect of any such action or proceeding may be heard and determined in any such Texas state court or, to the extent permitted by law, in any such federal court. Each of the parties hereto agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner provided by law.
 
(b) Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it or he may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it or he may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereunder or thereunder in any State or federal court sitting in Dallas county. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.
 
The parties hereto further agree that the notice of any process required by any such court in the manner set forth in Section 6.5 shall constitute valid and lawful service of process against them, without the necessity for service by any other means provided by law.
 
6.15. Further Assurances.
 
Each party hereto shall do and perform or cause to be done and performed all such further acts and things and shall execute and deliver all such other agreements, certificates, instruments and documents as any other party hereto reasonably may request in order to carry out the intent and accomplish the purposes of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.
 
6.16. No Inconsistent Agreements.
 
The Company will not hereafter enter into any agreement which is inconsistent with the rights granted to the Holders in this Agreement.
 
6.17. Construction.
 
  The Company and the Investor acknowledge that each of them has had the benefit of legal counsel of its own choice and has been afforded an opportunity to review this Agreement with its legal counsel and that this Agreement shall be construed as if jointly drafted by the Company and the Holders.
