The best efforts by the Company to effect the registration under each Registration Statement shall include, without limitation, the following:
 
(a) Shelf Registration. On or prior to each Filing Date, the Company shall prepare and file with the Commission a “Shelf” Registration Statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities not covered by an effective registration statement on such Filing Date for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415; provided, however, that if such Registrable Securities hereunder shall equal or exceed 30% of the issued and outstanding Common Stock of the Company (less any shares of Common Stock held by Affiliates of the Company) on the actual filing date of the initial Registration Statement, the initial Registration Statement shall register at a minimum a number of shares of Common Stock which is equal to 30% of the issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock of the Company (less any shares of Common Stock held by Affiliates of the Company) on such actual filing date, but not less than 100% of the Common Stock issuable upon conversion of the Debentures (the “Registration Cap”) and the remaining Registrable Securities shall be subject to registration at the next succeeding Filing Date. In such event, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered for each Holder shall be reduced pro-rata among all Holders and each Holder shall have the right to designate which of its Registrable Securities shall be omitted from the initial Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company shall continue to use best efforts to register all Registrable Securities as promptly as possible and if requested by Holders holding at least 50% of the then outstanding Registrable Securities not registered, shall seek to promptly register Registrable Securities in excess of the Registration Cap, provided that no Registration Statement filed pursuant to a request made under this sentence shall be subject to a required Effectiveness Date. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the preceding sentence, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause a Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, but in any event prior to the applicable Effectiveness Date, and shall use its best efforts to keep such Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until all Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold, or may be sold without volume restrictions pursuant to Rule 144(k), as determined by the counsel to the Company pursuant to a written opinion letter to such effect, addressed and acceptable to the Company’s transfer agent and the affected Holders (the “Effectiveness Period”). The Company shall telephonically request effectiveness of a Registration Statement as of 5:00 p.m. New York City time on a Trading Day. The Company shall immediately notify the Holders via facsimile of the effectiveness of a Registration Statement on the same Trading Day that the Company telephonically confirms effectiveness with the Commission, which shall be the date requested for effectiveness of a Registration Statement. The Company shall, by 9:30 a.m. New York City time on the Trading Day after the Effective Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement), file a final Prospectus with the Commission as required by Rule 424. Failure to so notify the Holder within 1 Trading Day of such notification of effectiveness or failure to file a final Prospectus as foresaid shall be deemed an Interfering Event under Section 2(d).
 
3

 
(b)  The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible after the Closing Date:
 
(i)  But in any event no later than thirty (30) days after the Closing Date, prepare and file a registration statement with the Commission pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act on Form SB-2 or Form S-3 under the Securities Act (or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such other form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act provided that any other form shall be converted into an S-3 as soon as Form S-3 becomes available to the Company) covering resales by the Holders as selling stockholders (not underwriters) of the Registrable Securities (“Registration Statement”), which Registration Statement, to the extent allowable under the Securities Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), shall state that such Registration Statement also covers such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock as may become issuable upon conversion of the Debentures and exercise of the Warrants. . Thereafter the Company shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement and other filings to be declared effective as soon as possible, and in any event no later than the Effectiveness Date. Without limiting the foregoing, the Company will promptly respond to all SEC comments, inquiries and requests, and shall request acceleration of effectiveness at the earliest possible date.
 
4

 
(ii)  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 and notify the Holders of the filing and effectiveness of such Registration Statement and any amendments or supplements.
 
(iii)  The Company shall sell additional Common Stock to at least that number of purchasers that qualify as Accredited Investors as defined under Regulation D adopted under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, in a manner which complies with Section 4.4 of the Purchase Agreement, such that the Company shall have no fewer than 50 holders of Common Stock of the Company not later than the earlier of: (i) the date on which the Company takes the steps required by Section 4.12 (c) of the Purchase Agreement, or (ii) the date by which the Company is required to file the first registration statement described in Section 2(a)(i) above.
 
(iv)  Register and qualify the securities covered by such Registration Statement under the securities or “Blue Sky” laws of all domestic jurisdictions; 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.
 
(v)  Notify promptly each Holder that has Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement of the happening of any event (but not the substance or details of any such event) of which the Company has knowledge as a result of which the prospectus (including any supplements thereto or thereof) included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing (each an “Event”), and use its best efforts to promptly update and/or correct such prospectus. Each Holder will hold in confidence and will not make any disclosure of any such Event and any related information disclosed by the Company.
 
(vi)  Notify each Holder of the issuance by the Commission or any state securities commission or agency of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Registration Statement or the threat or initiation of any proceedings for that purpose. The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order and, if any stop order is issued, to obtain the lifting thereof at the earliest possible time.
 
5

 
(vii)  Furnish to each Holder that has Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement such numbers of copies of a current prospectus conforming with the requirements of the Securities Act, copies of the Registration Statement, any amendment or supplement thereto and any documents incorporated by reference therein and such other documents as such Holder may reasonably require in order to facilitate the disposition of Registrable Securities owned by such Holder
 
(viii)  List the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement with all securities exchange(s) and/or markets on which the Common Stock is then listed and prepare and file any required filings with any exchange or market where the Common Shares are traded.
 
(ix)  Take all steps reasonably necessary to enable Holders to avail themselves of the prospectus delivery mechanism set forth in Rule 153 (or successor thereto) under the Act.
 
(x)  Furnish to each Holder for review a copy of each draft of a registration statement to be filed under the Agreement at least 5 days before filing of an initial registration, and at least two business days before filing of any amendment to a previously filed amendment.
 
(c)  Notwithstanding the obligations under Section 2(b)(v) or any provision of this Agreement, if (i) in the good faith judgment of the Company, following consultation with legal counsel, it would be detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for resales of Registrable Securities to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement due to the existence of a material development or potential material development involving the Company that the Company would be obligated to disclose in the Registration Statement, which disclosure would be premature or otherwise inadvisable at such time or would have a material adverse effect upon the Company and its stockholders, or (ii) in the good faith judgment of the Company, it would adversely affect or require premature disclosure of the filing of a Company-initiated registration of any class of its equity securities, then the Company will have the right to suspend the use of the Registration Statement for one period of not more than 30 calendar days in any 12 month period, but only if the Company reasonably concludes, after consultation with outside legal counsel, that the failure to suspend the use of the Registration Statement as such would create a of a material liability or violation under applicable securities laws or regulations.
 
(d)  Set forth below in this Section 2(d) are (I) events that may arise that the Purchasers consider will interfere with the full rights under this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, and the Debentures (the “Interfering Events”), and (II) certain remedies applicable in each of these events.

(i)  Payments by the Company. If (i) at any time after effectiveness of the Registration Statement, sales thereunder during the registration period (as described in Section 5) cannot be made for any reason, other than by reason of the operation of Section 2(c), for a period of more than 10 consecutive business days, (ii) at any time after effectiveness of the Registration Statement, sales thereunder during the Registration Period cannot be made for a period of time that exceeds the limitations set forth in Section 2(c), or (iii) at any time after the Registrable Securities are listed in accordance with Section 2(b)(viii), the Common Stock is not listed or included for quotation on the Trading Market where shares of the Company’s common stock are then traded for more than 10 consecutive calendar days, then the Company will thereafter make a payment as liquidated damages to each Holder as set forth below (payable in the manner described in Section 2(d)(ii) below for Late Registration Payment). The amount of the payment made to each Holder will be equal to 2% of the purchase price paid for (i) the Debentures then held by the Holder and not previously converted into Registrable Securities and sold by the Holder and (ii) Registrable Securities obtained upon conversion of the Debentures for each 30 calendar days that sales cannot be made under the effective Registration Statement or the Common Shares are not listed or included for quotation on the Trading Market where shares of the Company’s common stock are then traded (but any day on which both conditions exist shall count as a single day and no day taken into account for purposes of determining whether any payment is due under Section 2 (d)(ii) shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any payment is due under this Section 2(d)(i) or the amount of such payment). The number of shares not previously sold as specified in the previous sentence shall be determined as of the end of the respective 30-day period. In no event shall payment pursuant to this Section exceed 30% in the aggregate of the purchase price paid for (i) the Debentures then held by the Holder and (ii) Registrable Securities obtained upon conversion of the Debentures (including such Holder’s predecessors and successors) for the entire registration period (as described in Section 5). These payments will be prorated on a daily basis during the 30-day period and will be paid to each Holder within ten business days following the end of each 30-day period as to which payment is due hereunder or provided that the respective Holder delivered to the Company at least two business days prior thereto information with respect to the principal amount of Debentures and number of Shares not previously sold by such Holder (together with reasonable supporting documentation). The Holders may make a claim for additional damages as a remedy for the Company’s failure to comply with the timelines set forth in this Section, but acknowledgement of such right in this Agreement shall not constitute an admission by the Company that any such damages exist or may exist. Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be read to limit the ability of the Holders to seek specific performance of this Agreement.

(ii)  Effect of Late Registration. If the Registration Statement: (i) has not been declared effective by the Required Effective Date other than by reason of the operation of Section 2(c), or (ii) the Company does not respond to comments received from the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on a Registration Statement filed as required under this agreement within 10 business days after receipt and the registration statement does not become effective by the Effectiveness Date, or (iii) the Registration Statement does not become effective within 5 business days after receipt of notice from the SEC that there will be no further review or no review on a registration statement filed pursuant to this agreement, or (iv) if the initial Registration Statement is not filed by the Filing Date, then the Company will make a payment to each Holder as liquidated damages for such delay (each a “Late Registration Payment”). Each Late Registration Payment will be equal to 2% of the purchase price paid for (i) the Debentures then held by the Holder and not previously converted into Shares and sold by the Holder and (ii) Registrable Securities obtained upon conversion of the Debentures, for the first 30 calendar days after the Effectiveness Date, and 2% of such purchase price for each period of 30 calendar days thereafter (but no day taken into account for purposes of determining whether any payment is due under Section 2(d)(i) shall be taken into account for purposes of determining whether any payment is due under this Section 2(d)(ii) or the amount of such payment). The Late Registration Payment shall be made, at the option of the Company, in cash or registered Company Common Stock with a value per share equal to the lowest reported closing bid price in the Trading Market for the Common Stock during the 20 Trading Days immediately before accrual of the obligation to make the payment. In no event shall payments pursuant to this Section exceed 30% in the aggregate of the purchase price paid for (i) the Debentures then held by the Holder and not previously converted into Shares and sold by the Holder and (ii) Registrable Securities obtained upon conversion of the Debentures (including such Holder’s predecessors and successors) for the entire registration period (as described in Section 5). The Late Registration Payments will be prorated on a daily basis during the 30-day period and will be paid to the initial Holders within ten business days following the end of each 30-day period as to which payment is due hereunder, provided that, upon request from the Company, the respective Holder delivered to the Company within 3 business days prior thereto information with respect to the principal amount of Debentures and the number of Shares not previously sold by such Holder (together with reasonable supporting documentation). The Holders may make a claim for additional damages as a remedy for the Company’s failure to comply with the timelines set forth in this Section, but acknowledgement of such right in this Agreement shall not constitute an admission by the Company that any such damages exist or may exist. Nothing contained in the preceding sentence shall be read to limit the ability of the Holders to seek specific performance of this Agreement.

(e)  During the registration period, the Company will make available, upon reasonable advance notice during normal business hours, for inspection by any Holder whose Registrable Securities are being sold pursuant to a Registration Statement, all pertinent financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “Records”) as reasonably necessary to enable each such Holder to exercise its due diligence responsibility in connection with or related to the contemplated offering. The Company will cause its officers, directors and employees to supply all information that any Holder may reasonably request for purposes of performing such due diligence.
 
(f)  Each Holder will hold in confidence, use only in connection with the contemplated offering and not make any disclosure of all Records and other information that the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Holders are so notified, unless (i) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (ii) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, (iii) the information in such Records has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this or any other agreement (to the knowledge of the relevant Holder), (iv) the Records or other information were developed independently by the Holder without breach of this Agreement, (v) the information was known to the Holder before receipt of such information from the Company, or (vi) the information was disclosed to the Holder by a third party not under an obligation of confidentiality. However, a Holder may make disclosure of such Records and other information to any attorney, adviser, or other third party retained by it that needs to know the information as determined in good faith by the Holder (the “Holder Representative”), if the Holder advises the Holder Representative of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 2(f). The Company is not required to disclose any confidential information in the Records to any Holder unless and until such Holder has entered into a confidentiality agreement (in form and substance satisfactory to the Company) with the Company with respect thereto, substantially to the effect of this Section 2(f). Unless legally prohibited from so doing, each Holder will, upon learning that disclosure of Records containing confidential information is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company and allow the Company, at the Company’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. Nothing herein will be deemed to limit the Holder’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner that is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.
 
(g)  The Company shall file a Registration Statement with respect to any newly authorized and/or reserved Registrable Securities consisting of Shares described in clause (i) of the definition of Registrable Securities within ten (10) business days of any stockholders’ meeting authorizing same and shall use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective within ninety (90) days of such stockholders’ meeting. If the Holders become entitled, pursuant to an event described in clause (ii) and (iii) of the definition of Registrable Securities, to receive any securities in respect of Registrable Securities that were already included in a Registration Statement, subsequent to the date such Registration Statement is declared effective, and the Company is unable under the securities laws to add such securities to the then effective Registration Statement, the Company shall promptly file, in accordance with the procedures set forth herein, an additional Registration Statement with respect to such newly Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its best efforts to (i) cause any such additional Registration Statement, when filed, to become effective within 30 days of that date that the need to file the Registration Statement arose. All of the registration rights and remedies under this Agreement shall apply to the registration of such newly reserved shares and such new Registrable Securities.

(h) If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the registration statement described in Section 2(a) is not effective with respect to some or all of the Registrable Securities, the Holder shall have the following “piggyback” registration rights. If the Company at any time following the Closing Date proposes for any reason to register Common Shares under the Securities Act (other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor forms thereto), it shall promptly give written notice to the Holder of its intention to so register such equity securities and, upon the written request, given within 20 days after delivery of such notice by the Company, of Holder to include in such registration Registrable Securities held by the Holder (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Shares proposed to be included in such registration by the Holder and shall state the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities by the Holder), the Company shall use its best efforts to cause all such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the securities otherwise being sold in such registration; provided, however, that if the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that the inclusion of all Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration would interfere materially with the successful marketing (including pricing) of primary shares (the “Primary Shares”) proposed to be registered by the Company, then the number of Primary Shares and Registrable Securities proposed to be included in such registration shall be included in the following order:

(i) first, the Primary Shares; and

(ii) second, the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration pursuant to this Section 2(h)

provided, that in the case of any such underwritten offering of Common Shares by the Company that is in satisfaction of a demand registration pursuant to Section 2(i), the order for inclusion of Primary Shares and Registrable Securities shall be as set forth in that section.
 
10


(i) If at any time during the term of this Agreement, the registration statement described in Section 2(a) is not effective with respect to some or all of the Registrable Securities, the Holder shall have the following demand registration rights. If the Company shall be requested in writing by the Holder to effect a registration on Form S-1 or Form SB-2 under the Securities Act of Registrable Securities, then the Company shall promptly use its best efforts to effect such registration under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register in the manner described in Section 2(a); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any registration under this Section 2(i) except in accordance with the following provisions:

(i) The Company shall not be obligated to use its best efforts to file and cause to become effective (x) more than two registration statements on Form S-1 or Form SB-2 with respect to Registrable Securities initiated by a Holder pursuant to this Section 2(i) in a 12 month period; (y) any registration statement covering less than $100,000 in value of Registrable Securities or (z) any registration statement during any period in which any other registration statement pursuant to which Shares are to be or were sold has been filed and not withdrawn or has been declared effective within the prior 60 days;

(ii) The Company may delay the filing or effectiveness of any registration statement for a period of up to 30 days after the date of a request for registration pursuant to this Section 2(i) if the Company determines in good faith that (A) it is in possession of material, non-public information concerning an acquisition, merger, recapitalization, consolidation, reorganization or other material transaction by or of the Company or concerning pending or threatened litigation and (B) disclosure of such information would jeopardize any such transaction or litigation or otherwise materially harm the Company; provided, however, that the Company may not exercise such deferral right more than once in any twelve month-period.

(iii) At such time as the Corporation shall have qualified for the use of Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act or any successor form thereto, the Holder shall have the right to request in writing registrations on Form S-3 or such successor form of Registrable Securities held by Purchaser in the manner described in Section 2(a), which request or requests shall (i) specify the number of Registrable Securities held by the Holder intended to be sold or disposed of, (ii) state the intended method of disposition of such Registrable Securities held by the Holder and (iii) relate to Registrable Shares having an anticipated aggregate offering price of at least $500,000. A requested registration on Form S-3 or any such successor form in compliance with Section 4 shall not count as a registration statement initiated pursuant to Section 2(i) but shall otherwise be treated as a registration statement initiated pursuant to, and shall, except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 4, be subject to Section 2.

3.  Expenses of Registration. All Registration Expenses in connection with any registration, qualification or compliance with registration pursuant to this Agreement shall be borne by the Company, and all Selling Expenses of a Holder shall be borne by such Holder.
 
4.  Registration on Form S-3. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to meet the “registrant eligibility” requirements for a secondary offering set forth in the general instructions to Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms, or in the event that the Company is ineligible to use such form, such form as the Company is eligible to use under the Securities Act, provided that if such other form is used, the Company shall convert such other form to a Form S-3 as soon as the Company becomes so eligible.
 
11

 
5.  Registration Period. In the case of the registration effected by the Company pursuant to this Agreement, the Company shall keep such registration effective and current until the earlier of (a) the date on which all the Holders have completed the sales or distribution described in the Registration Statement relating thereto or, if earlier until such Registrable Securities may be sold by the Holders under Rule 144(k) (provided that the Company’s transfer agent has accepted an instruction from the Company to such effect) and (b) the seventh (7th) anniversary of the Closing Date.

(b)  Holder Indemnity. Each Holder will, severally but not jointly, if Registrable Securities held by it are included in the securities as to which such registration, qualification or compliance is being effected, indemnify the Company, each of its directors, officers, agents and partners, and any other stockholder selling securities pursuant to the Registration Statement and any of its directors, officers, agents, partners, and any person who controls such stockholder within the meaning of the Securities Act or Exchange Act and each underwriter, if any, of the Company’s securities covered by such a Registration Statement, each person who controls the Company or such underwriter within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, each other Holder (if any), and each of their officers, directors and partners, and each person controlling such other Holder(s) against all claims, losses, damages and liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in any such final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company files any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC), Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or any post-effective amendment thereof or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statement therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they were made or (ii) failure by any Holder to comply with prospectus delivery requirements or the Securities Act or any other law or legal requirement applicable to them or any covenant or agreement contained in the Purchase Agreement or this Agreement, and will reimburse the Company and such other Holder(s) and their directors, officers and partners, underwriters or control persons for any reasonable legal fees or any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating and defending any such claim, loss, damage, liability or action, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) or omission (or alleged omission) is made in such final prospectus (as amended or supplemented if the Company files any amendment or supplement thereto with the SEC), Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement or any post-effective amendment thereof in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by such Holder and stated to be specifically for use therein, and provided that the maximum amount for which such Holder shall be liable under this indemnity shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement in question. The indemnity agreement contained in this Section 6(b) shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities if such settlement is effected without the consent of such Holder (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
 
(c)  Procedure. Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6 (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give notice to the party required to provide indemnification (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after such Indemnified Party has actual knowledge of any claim as to which indemnity may be sought, and shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim in any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its own expense, and provided further that the failure of any Indemnified Party to give notice as provided herein shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Section 6 except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party is materially and adversely affected by such failure to provide notice. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, except with the consent of each Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement which does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to such Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Each Indemnified Party shall furnish such non-privileged information regarding itself or the claim in question as an Indemnifying Party may reasonably request in writing and as shall be reasonably required in connection with the defense of such claim and litigation resulting therefrom.

7.  Contribution. If the indemnification provided for in Section 6 herein is unavailable to the Indemnified Parties in respect of any losses, claims, damages or liabilities referred to herein (other than by reason of the exceptions provided therein), then each such 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 losses, claims, damages or liabilities as between the Company on the one hand and any Holder(s) on the other, in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the Company and of such Holder(s) in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such losses, claims, damages or liabilities, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Company on the one hand and of any Holder(s) on the other shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Company or by such Holder(s).
 
In no event shall the obligation of any Indemnifying Party to contribute under this Section 7 exceed the amount that such Indemnifying Party would have been obligated to pay by way of indemnification if the indemnification provided for under Section 6(a) or 6(b) hereof had been available under the circumstances.
 
The Company and the Holders agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 7 were determined by pro rata allocation (even if the Holders were treated as one entity for such purpose) or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the immediately preceding paragraphs. The amount paid or payable by an Indemnified Party as a result of the losses, claims, damages and liabilities referred to in the immediately preceding paragraphs shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, no Holder shall be required to contribute any amount in excess of the amount by which in the case of any Holder, the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement in question. 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.
 
8.  Survival. The indemnity and contribution agreements contained in Sections 6 and 7 shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of (i) any termination of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement or the Placement Agreement and (ii) the consummation of the sale or successive resales of the Registrable Securities.
 
9.  Information by Holders. As a condition to the obligations of the Company to complete any registration pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the Registrable Securities of each Holder, such Holder will furnish to the Company such information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended methods of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as is reasonably required by the Company to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities. At least five business days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement for any registration under this Agreement, the Company will notify each Holder of the information the Company requires from that Holder whether or not such Holder has elected to have any of its Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. If the Company has not received the requested information from a Holder by the business day prior to the anticipated filing date, then the Company may file the Registration Statement without including comments from, or requested of, that Holder.
 
14

 
10.  Further Assurances. Each Holder will cooperate with the Company, as reasonably requested by the Company, in connection with the preparation and filing of any Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Holder has notified the Company in writing of such Holder’s irrevocable election to exclude all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.
 
11.  Suspension of Sales. Upon receipt of any notice from the Company under Section 2(b)(v) or 2(c), each Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities until (i) it receives copies of a supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Sections 2(b)(v) or (ii) the Company advises the Holder that a suspension of sales under Section 2(c) has terminated. If so directed by the Company, each Holder will deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy all copies in the Holder’ s possession (other than a limited number of file copies) of the prospectus covering such Registrable Securities that is current at the time of receipt of such notice.
 
12.  Replacement Certificates. The certificate(s) representing the Registrable Securities held by the Holder may be exchanged by the Holder at any time and from time to time for certificates with different denominations representing an equal aggregate number of Registrable Securities of the same tenor, as reasonably requested by such Holder upon surrendering the same. No service charge will be made for such registration or transfer or exchange. Upon receipt by the Company of evidence reasonably satisfactory to it of the loss, theft, destruction or mutilation of certificates evidencing any Registrable Securities, and, in the case of loss, theft or destruction, of indemnity reasonably satisfactory to it, or upon surrender and cancellation of such certificate if mutilated, the Company will make and deliver a new certificate of like tenor and dated as of such cancellation at no charge to the holder.
 
13.  Transfer or Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. The rights granted to the Holder by the Company under this Agreement to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities may be transferred or assigned (in whole or in part) to a transferee or assignee of the Debenture, or Registrable Securities, and all other rights granted to the Holder by the Company hereunder may be transferred or assigned to any transferee or assignee of the Debenture, or Registrable Securities; provided in each case that (i) the Company is given written notice by the Holder at the time of or within a reasonable time after such transfer or assignment, stating the name and address of said transferee or assignee and identifying the securities with respect to which such registration rights are being transferred or assigned; and provided further that the transferee or assignee of such rights agrees in writing to be bound by the registration provisions of this Agreement, (ii) such transfer or assignment is not made under the Registration Statement or Rule 144, (iii) such transfer is made according to the applicable requirements of the Purchase Agreement, and (iv) the transferee has provided to the Company an investor questionnaire (or equivalent document) evidencing that the transferee is a “qualified institutional buyer” as defined in Rule 144A under the Securities Act or an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1),(2),(3), or (7) of Regulation D.
