3.1 Investment Purpose . The Purchaser is purchasing the Shares for its own account for investment and not with a present view toward the public sale or distribution thereof and has no intention of selling or distributing any of such Shares or any arrangement or understanding with any other Persons regarding the sale or distribution of such Shares except as contemplated by this Agreement or the Related Agreements and in compliance with the Securities Act. The Purchaser will not, directly or indirectly, offer, sell, pledge, transfer or otherwise dispose of (or solicit any offers to buy, purchase or otherwise acquire or take a pledge of) any of the Shares except in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or the Related Agreements and in compliance with applicable securities laws. In making the representation herein, however, the Purchaser does not agree to hold any of the Shares for any minimum or other specified term and reserves the right to dispose of the Shares at any time in compliance with the Securities Act.

3.2 Purchaser Status; Questionnaires . At the time Purchaser was offered the Shares, it was, and at the date hereof it is: (i) an “accredited investor” as defined in Rule 501(a)(1), (a)(2), (a)(3), (a)(7) and (a)(8) under the Securities Act or (ii) a Person who is not a “US person” (as defined in Rule 902(k) under the Securities Act (a “ Non-US Person ”). All information provided by the Purchaser to the Company in connection with the Purchaser’s purchase of the Shares, including, but not limited to, the information provided in the Pre-Closing Securities Ownership Questionnaire attached hereto as Exhibit B , was accurate and correct when provided or delivered and is accurate and correct as of the date hereof.

3.3 Reliance on Exemptions . The Purchaser understands that the Shares are being offered and sold to it in reliance upon specific exemptions from or non-application of the registration requirements of United States federal and state securities laws and that the Company is relying upon the truth and accuracy of, and the Purchaser’s compliance with, the representations, warranties, agreements, acknowledgments and understandings of the Purchaser set forth herein in order to determine the availability of such exemptions and the eligibility of the Purchaser to acquire the Shares.

3.4 Information . The Purchaser acknowledges that it has been afforded (i) the opportunity to ask such questions as it has deemed necessary of, and to receive answers from, representatives of the Company concerning the terms and conditions of the offering of the Shares and the merits and risks of investing in the Shares; (ii) access to information about the Company and its financial condition, results of operations, businesses, properties, management and prospects sufficient to enable it to evaluate its investment, including, without limitation, the Company’s SEC Documents, and the Purchaser has had the opportunity to review the SEC Documents; and (iii) the opportunity to obtain such additional information that the Company possesses or can acquire without unreasonable effort or expense that is necessary to make an informed investment decision with respect to the investment. Neither such inquiries nor any other due diligence investigation conducted by such Purchaser or any of its advisors or representatives shall modify, amend or affect such Purchaser’s right to rely on the Company’s and its Subsidiaries representations, warranties and covenants contained herein or in the Related Agreements.

(a) The Purchaser acknowledges and understands that its investment in the Shares involves a significant degree of risk, including, without limitation, (i) the Company has a history of operating losses and requires substantial funds in addition to the proceeds from the sale of the Shares; (ii) an investment in the Company is speculative, and only the Purchaser who can afford the loss of their entire investment should consider investing in the Company and the Shares; (iii) the Purchaser may not be able to liquidate its investment; (iv) transferability of the Shares is limited; (v) in the event of a disposition of the Shares, the Purchaser could sustain the loss of its entire investment; and (vi) the Company has not paid any dividends on its Common Stock since inception and does not anticipate the payment of dividends in the foreseeable future. Such risks are more fully set forth in the SEC Documents.

(b) The Purchaser is able to bear the economic risk of holding the Shares for an indefinite period, and has knowledge and experience in financial and business matters such that it is capable of evaluating the risks of the investment in the Shares.

(c) The Purchaser has, in connection with the Purchaser’s decision to purchase the Shares and with respect to all matters relating to this Agreement and the Related Agreements and the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby, relied solely upon the advice of such Purchaser’s own counsel and has not relied upon or consulted any counsel to the Company.

(d) The Purchaser is not purchasing the Shares as a result of any form of general solicitation or general advertising within the meaning of Rule 502(c) under the Securities Act.

3.6 Governmental Review . The Purchaser understands that no United States federal or state or foreign agency or any other government or governmental agency has passed upon or made any recommendation or endorsement of the Shares or an investment therein.

(a) the Shares have not been and are not being registered under the Securities Act (other than as contemplated in Article 6 of this Agreement) or any applicable state securities laws and, consequently, the Purchaser may have to bear the risk of owning the Shares for an indefinite period of time because the Shares may not be transferred unless (i) the resale of the Shares is registered pursuant to an effective registration statement under the Securities Act or exempt from the registration requirements of the Securities Act under Rule 144 thereunder; or (ii) the Purchaser has delivered to the Company an opinion of counsel to the Purchaser (in form, substance and scope customary for opinions of counsel in comparable transactions) to the effect that the Shares to be sold or transferred may be sold or transferred pursuant to an exemption from such registration, provided that no opinion shall be required by the Company in the case of transfers under Rule 144; and

(b) except as set forth in Article 6 of this Agreement, neither the Company nor any other Person is under any obligation to register the resale of any Shares under the Securities Act or any state or foreign securities laws or to comply with the terms and conditions of any exemption thereunder.

(a) The Purchaser understands the certificates representing the Shares will bear a restrictive legend in substantially the following form (and a stop-transfer order may be placed against transfer of the certificates for such securities):

“THE SECURITIES REPRESENTED BY THIS CERTIFICATE HAVE NOT BEEN REGISTERED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION OR THE SECURITIES COMMISSION OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES IN RELIANCE UPON AN EXEMPTION FROM REGISTRATION UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”) OR REGULATION S THEREUNDER, AND ACCORDINGLY, MAY NOT BE SOLD, OFFERED FOR SALE, PLEDGED, HYPOTHECATED, TRANSFERRED OR ASSIGNED EXCEPT PURSUANT TO AN EFFECTIVE REGISTRATION STATEMENT FOR THE SECURITIES UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR PURSUANT TO AN AVAILABLE EXEMPTION FROM, OR IN A TRANSACTION NOT SUBJECT TO, THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN ACCORDANCE WITH APPLICABLE STATE SECURITIES LAWS AS EVIDENCED BY A LEGAL OPINION OF COUNSEL TO THE TRANSFEROR TO SUCH EFFECT, THE SUBSTANCE OF WHICH SHALL BE REASONABLY ACCEPTABLE TO THE COMPANY.”

(b) The Purchaser may request that the Company remove, and the Company agrees to authorize the removal of any legend from the Shares (i) following any sale of the Shares pursuant to an effective registration statement, or (ii) if such Shares are eligible for sale without restrictions under Rule 144 or under any no-action letter issued by the SEC. Following the time a legend is no longer required for any Shares hereunder, the Company will, no later than five (5) Business Days following the delivery by the Purchaser to the Company or the Company’s transfer agent of a legended certificate representing such Shares, accompanied by such additional information as the Company or the Company’s transfer agent may reasonably request, deliver or cause to be delivered to the Purchaser a certificate representing such Shares that is free from all restrictive and other legends.

(c) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Company will not require an opinion of counsel in connection with the transfer by the Purchaser of any Shares to an Affiliate of the Purchaser.

3.9 Authorization; Enforcement . The Purchaser is duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of its jurisdiction of formation and has the requisite power and authority to enter into this Agreement and the Related Agreements and to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby. The Purchaser has taken all necessary action to authorize the execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement and the Related Agreements. Upon the execution and delivery of this Agreement and the Related Agreements, this Agreement and the Related Agreements shall constitute a valid and binding obligation of the Purchaser enforceable in accordance with its terms, except as enforceability may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or similar laws affecting creditors’ and contracting parties’ rights generally and except as enforceability may be subject to general principles of equity and except as rights to indemnity and contribution may be limited by applicable securities laws or public policy underlying such laws.

3.11 No Short Sales . Between the time the Purchaser learned about the Offering and the public announcement of the Offering, the Purchaser has not engaged in any short sales or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock, nor has the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, caused any Person to engage in any short sales or similar transactions with respect to the Common Stock.

3.12 Brokers . The Purchaser has not engaged any brokers, finders or agents and has not incurred, and will not incur, directly or indirectly, any liability for brokerage for finder’s fees or agent’s commissions or any similar charges in connection with this Agreement and the Related Agreements.

During the Registration Period, the Company will not terminate its status as an issuer required to file reports under the Exchange Act even if the Exchange Act or the rules and regulations thereunder would permit such termination.

4.2 Financial Information . The financial statements of the Company to be included in any documents filed with the SEC will be prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, consistently applied (except (i) as may be otherwise indicated in such financial statements or the notes thereto, or (ii) in the case of unaudited interim statements, to the extent they may not include footnotes, may be condensed or summary statements or may conform to the SEC’s rules and instructions for Reports on Form 10-Q), and will fairly present in all material respects the consolidated financial position of the Company and consolidated results of its operations and cash flows as of, and for the periods covered by, such financial statements (subject, in the case of unaudited statements, to normal year-end audit adjustments).

(a) Except as may be required by law or the rules of the SEC or NASDAQ, neither the Company nor any Subsidiary shall use the name of, or make reference to, the Purchaser or any of its Affiliates in any press release or in any public manner (including any reports or filings made by the Company under the Exchange Act) without the Purchaser’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

The Company will promptly advise the Purchaser of any action or event of which it becomes aware which has the effect of making materially incorrect any of such representations or warranties or which has the effect of rendering any of such covenants incapable of performance.

4.5 Limits on Additional Issuances . Neither the Company, any of its Subsidiaries nor any of their respective Affiliates will sell, offer for sale or solicit offers to buy or otherwise negotiate in respect of any “security” (as defined in the Securities Act) that could be integrated with the sale of the Securities in a manner that could require the registration of the Securities under the Securities Act.

4.10 Form D and Blue Sky . The Company agrees to timely file a Form D with the SEC with respect to the Shares to the extent required under Regulation D of the Securities Act and to provide, upon request, a copy thereof to the Purchaser.

So long as Purchaser (i) owns at least the number of shares of Common Stock that it purchased under this Agreement (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, or other recapitalization or reclassification effected after the date hereof), and (ii) has executed and delivered a confidentiality agreement with the Company that is consistent with the Company’s obligations under Regulation FD promulgated under the Securities Act (an “ FD Confidentiality Agreement ”), the Company shall deliver to Purchaser in the case of (i) below or will inform the Purchaser of, and discuss with the Purchaser, any of the actions and matters described in (ii) through (iv) below:

(i) such material information relating to the financial condition, business, prospects, or corporate affairs of the Company (including the minutes, notices, consents and other materials that it provides to its directors);

(ii) incurring, issuing or assuming any indebtedness that, in the aggregate, collectively among the Company and its Subsidiaries, exceeds US $25,000,000 in one transaction or a series of related transactions;

(iii) incurring any capital expenditure that exceeds US $25,000,000 in one transaction or a series of related transactions; and

(iv) selling, transferring or otherwise disposing of any material assets of the Company or any Subsidiary (including, but not limited to, its technologies and intellectual property rights) in any transaction or series of related transactions with a value that exceeds US $10,000,000;

provided , however , that the Company shall not be obligated under this Section 4.14 to provide information specified in (i) through (iv) above (A) that the Company reasonably determines in good faith to be a trade secret or confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in form acceptable to the Company and the Purchaser) or (B) the disclosure of which would adversely affect the attorney-client privilege between the Company and its counsel or put the Company at a competitive disadvantage.

4.15 Pro rata Rights . If at any time the Company wishes to issue any new equity securities other than Excluded Securities (such Securities other than Excluded Securities the “ New Securities ”) to any person (“ Proposed Recipient ”) the Company shall, to the extent reasonably possible, promptly deliver a notice of its intention to issue such New Securities (the “ New Issue Notice ”) to the Purchaser at least 5 days prior to the planned date of issuance setting forth the type, number and description of the New Securities to be issued, the proposed subscription price thereof, the identity of the Proposed Recipients (if known) and any other proposed material terms and conditions of such issuance. If the Company is unable to give prior notice of such issuance, it will notify the Purchaser on the date of the issuance which later notice shall in no event prevent the Purchaser from fully exercising its rights hereunder in a subsequent issuance and closing. The Purchaser shall have the right, upon written notice to the Company within 10 days following receipt of the New Issue Notice whether such notice is provided before or after the issuance (the “ Exercise Period ”), to elect to subscribe for, at the price and on the terms stated in the New Issue Notice, such number of New Securities equal to the product obtained by multiplying the number of New Securities (calculated on an as-converted basis) by a fraction, the numerator of which is the number of equity securities (calculated on an as-converted basis) held by the Purchaser on the date of such New Issue Notice (and prior to the issuance) and the denominator of which is the total number of equity securities (calculated on an as-converted basis) issued and outstanding on the date of such New Issue Notice (and prior to the issuance). If all or any portion of the New Securities are not subscribed to by the Purchaser as described above, then the Company may, at its election, during a period of 30 days following the expiration of the Exercise Period, issue the remaining New Securities to the Proposed Recipient at a price and upon terms not more favorable to the Proposed Recipient than those stated in such New Issue Notice. In the event the Company has not issued the New Securities to the Proposed Recipient within such 30 day period, the Company shall not thereafter issue any New Securities without first offering such securities to the Purchaser in the manner provided in this Section 4.15 . Failure by the Purchaser to exercise its option to subscribe with respect to one offering and issuance of New Securities shall not affect its option to subscribe for equity securities in any subsequent offering and issuance. This Section 4.15 shall not apply to “Excluded Securities” issued by the Company which shall mean (i) securities issued as a dividend or distribution on outstanding securities, (ii) securities issued upon conversion or exercise of outstanding securities, (iii) securities issued to employees, directors or consultants pursuant to a plan, agreement or arrangement approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, (iv) securities issued pursuant to the acquisition of another corporation or its assets by the Company, or (v) up to $5,000,000 in securities issued by the Company annually to fund obligations to make cash dividends or interest payments on outstanding securities. The rights set forth in this Section 4.15 shall terminate at such time when the Purchaser owns less than 10,786,418 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, or other recapitalization or reclassification effected after the date hereof).

4.16 Due Diligence . The Company shall cooperate in good faith in the limited due diligence to be performed by the Purchaser in connection with its investment in the Shares.

4.17 Board Designation Rights . So long as Purchaser owns at least 10,786,418 shares of Common Stock (as adjusted for any stock split, stock dividend, combination, or other recapitalization or reclassification effected after the date hereof), if requested by the Purchaser, the Company shall promptly appoint one individual designated in writing by the Purchaser to serve as a member of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “ Purchaser Nominee ”); provided that such Purchaser Nominee meets the criteria for nomination as a director as set forth in the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee Charter as reasonably determined by the Company’s Nominating and Corporate Governance Committee.

4.18 Indemnification . The Company and the Purchaser will indemnify and hold the other (the “ Indemnified Party ”) and its respective directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents harmless from any and all losses, liabilities, obligations, claims, contingencies, damages, costs and expenses, including all judgments, amounts paid in settlements, court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of investigation that the Indemnified Party and its directors, officers, stockholders, members, partners, employees and agents may suffer or incur as a result of any breach of any of the representations, warranties, covenants or agreements made by the other in this Agreement. The detailed procedures for the indemnification under this Section 4.18 shall follow the procedures set forth in Sections 6.9(c) and 6.9 (d) .

5.1 Conditions to Obligations of the Company .

In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration, subject to the provisions of Section 6.4 .

6.2 Demand Registrations . If for any reason prior to the expiration of the Registration Period, a Registration Statement required to be filed pursuant to Section 6.1 ceases to be effective or fails to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by such Registration Statement, a Holder may demand registration pursuant to the terms of and within the time frames set forth in Section 6.1 by providing written demand registration notice to the Company (a “ Demand Registration ”). The Company shall amend the applicable Registration Statement, or file a new Registration Statement (on the short form available therefore, if applicable), or both, so as to cover all of the Registrable Securities required to be covered by a Registration Statement hereunder, as soon as practicable, but in any event not later than ten (10) Business Days after the date that the Demand Registration notice is delivered to the Company. The Company shall use its best efforts to cause such amendment and/or new Registration Statement to become effective as soon as practicable following the filing thereof.

6.3 Piggy-Back Registrations .

No right to registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 6.3 shall be construed to limit any registration required under Section 6.1 or 6.2 . The obligations of the Company under this Section 6.3 may be waived by the Holder, provided such Holder is not named as a selling security holder in any Registration Statement. If an offering in connection with which a Holder is entitled to registration under this Section 6.3 is an underwritten offering, then such Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in such Registration Statement shall, unless otherwise agreed by the Company, offer and sell such Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering using the same underwriter or underwriters and, subject to the provisions of this Article 6 , on the same terms and conditions as other shares of Common Stock included in such underwritten offering. If a registration pursuant to this Section 6.3 is to be an underwritten public offering and the managing underwriter(s) advise the Company in writing that, in their reasonable good faith opinion, marketing or other factors dictate that a limitation on the number of shares of Common Stock which may be included in the Registration Statement is necessary to facilitate and not adversely affect the proposed offering, then the Company shall include in such registration: (1) first, all securities the Company proposes to sell for its own account and (2) second, up to the full number of securities proposed to be registered for the account of the Holder entitled to registration under this Section 6.3 , pro rata to such Holder on the basis of the number of Registrable Securities that it requested to be included in such registration.

6.4 Ineligibility for Form S-3 . Subject to Section 6.1 as it relates to the use of Form S-1, in the event that Form S-3 is not available for any registration of Registrable Securities hereunder, the Company shall (i) register the sale of the Registrable Securities on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Holder and (ii) undertake to register the Registrable Securities on Form S-3 as soon as such form is available, provided that the Company shall maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement then in effect until such time as a Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities has been declared effective by the SEC.

6.5 Failure to File, Obtain and Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement . If a Registration Delay occurs the Company shall pay to a Holder of Registrable Securities (the “ Registration Delay Payments ”), as partial relief for the damages to such Holder by reason of any such Registration Delay, and calculated for each share of Common Stock for which a Registration Statement is required to be filed pursuant to the terms of Section 6.1 then outstanding that is a Registrable Security and not covered for resale at such time pursuant to the terms of a Registration Statement, an accruing amount per each such share equal to the Delay Payment Rate for each week (or portion thereof) during the Damages Accrual Period. The Registration Delay Payments shall accrue from the first day of the applicable Registration Delay through the date it is cured (the “ Damages Accrual Period ”), and shall be payable in cash to the record holder of the Registrable Securities entitled thereto on the earlier of the (i) last Business Day of each calendar month during which such Registration Delay Payments are incurred and (ii) the third Business Day after the event of failure giving rise to the Registration Delay Payments is cured. Nothing shall preclude a Holder from pursuing or obtaining any available remedies at law, specific performance or other equitable relief with respect to this Article 6 in accordance with applicable law.

6.6 Related Obligations . At such time as the Company is obligated to file a Registration Statement with the SEC pursuant to Section 6.1 , the Company will use its best efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof and, pursuant thereto, the Company shall have the following obligations during the Registration Period (as hereinafter defined):

(a) The Company shall promptly prepare and file with the SEC a Registration Statement with respect to the Registrable Securities (but in no event later than the Filing Deadline) and use its best efforts to cause such Registration Statement relating to the Registrable Securities to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing (but in no event later than the applicable Effectiveness Deadline). The Company shall keep each Registration Statement effective pursuant to Rule 415 at all times until the earliest of (i) the three-year anniversary of the Closing Date; (ii) the date as of which the Holder may sell all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act (or successor thereto) or (iii) the date on which the Holder shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement either pursuant to the Registration Statement or in one or more transactions in which the Holder obtained unlegended certificates representing the Registrable Securities so purchased in accordance with applicable securities laws (the “ Registration Period ”), which Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein, or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of any prospectus only, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading.

(b) The Company shall prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to a Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection with such Registration Statement, which prospectus is to be filed pursuant to Rule 424 promulgated under the Securities Act, as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective at all times during the Registration Period, and, during such period, comply with the provisions of the Securities Act with respect to the disposition of all Registrable Securities of the Company covered by such Registration Statement until such time as all of such Registrable Securities shall have been disposed of in accordance with the intended methods of distribution by the seller or sellers thereof as set forth in such Registration Statement. In the case of amendments and supplements to a Registration Statement which are required to be filed pursuant to this Article 6 (including pursuant to this Section 6.6(b) ) by reason of the Company filing a report on Form 10-K, Form 10-Q or Form 8-K or any analogous report under the Exchange Act), the Company shall have incorporated such report by reference into the Registration Statement, if applicable, or shall file such amendments or supplements with the SEC on the same day on which the Exchange Act report is filed which created the requirement for the Company to amend or supplement the Registration Statement.

(c) The Company shall (i) permit a legal counsel for the Holder to review and comment upon those sections of (a) the Registration Statement which are applicable to the Holder at least five (5) Business Days prior to its filing with the SEC, (b) all other Registration Statements and all amendments and supplements to all Registration Statements which are applicable to the Holder (except for Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and Current Reports on Form 8-K and any similar or successor reports) within a reasonable number of days prior to their filing with the SEC and (c) not file any Registration Statement (including any amendment or supplement thereto) or document in a form to which such legal counsel reasonably objects. The Company shall furnish to such legal counsel, without charge, (i) any correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC to the Company or its representatives relating to any Registration Statement, provided the legal counsel shall keep such correspondence confidential and shall not provide copies thereof to the Holder without the Company’s prior consent, (ii) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, one copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by a Holder, and all exhibits, and (iii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, one copy of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto. The Company shall reasonably cooperate with a Holder’s legal counsel in performing the Company’s obligations pursuant to Section 6.6 .

(d) The Company shall furnish to the Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in any Registration Statement, without charge, (i) promptly after the same is prepared and filed with the SEC, at least one copy of such Registration Statement and any amendment(s) thereto, including financial statements and schedules, all documents incorporated therein by reference, if requested by such Holder, and all exhibits and each preliminary prospectus, (ii) upon the effectiveness of any Registration Statement, ten (10) copies of the prospectus included in such Registration Statement and all amendments and supplements thereto (or such other number of copies as such Holder may reasonably request) and (iii) such other documents, including copies of any preliminary or final prospectus, as such Holder may reasonably request from time to time in order to facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder.

(e) If required under applicable law, the Company shall use its best efforts to (i) register and qualify the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement under all other securities or “blue sky” laws of such jurisdictions in the United States, (ii) prepare and file in those jurisdictions, such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to such registrations and qualifications as may be necessary to maintain the effectiveness thereof during the Registration Period, (iii) take such other actions as may be necessary to maintain such registrations and qualifications in effect at all times during the Registration Period, and (iv) take all other actions reasonably necessary or advisable to qualify the Registrable Securities for sale in such jurisdictions; provided , however , that the Company shall not be required in connection therewith or as a condition thereto to (w) make any change in the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation or Bylaws that the Board determines in good faith to be contrary to the best interests of the Company and its stockholders, (x) qualify to do business in any jurisdiction where it would not otherwise be required to qualify but for this Section 6.6(e), (y) subject itself to general taxation in any such jurisdiction, or (z) file a general consent to service of process in any such jurisdiction. The Company shall promptly notify a Holder who holds Registrable Securities of the receipt by the Company of any notification with respect to the suspension of the registration or qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale under the securities or “blue sky” laws of any jurisdiction in the United States or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

(f) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event or development, the Company shall notify a Holder in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, and promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such Registration Statement to correct such untrue statement or omission, and deliver ten (10) copies of such supplement or amendment to the Holder (or such other number of copies as such Holder may reasonably request). The Company shall also promptly notify a Holder in writing (i) when a prospectus or any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment has been filed, and when a Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment has become effective (notification of such effectiveness shall be delivered to a Holder by facsimile on the same day of such effectiveness and by overnight mail), (ii) of any request by the SEC for amendments or supplements to a Registration Statement or related prospectus or related information, and (iii) of the Company’s reasonable determination that a post-effective amendment to a Registration Statement would be appropriate.

(g) The Company shall use its best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness of a Registration Statement, or the suspension of the qualification of any of the Registrable Securities for sale in any jurisdiction and, if such an order or suspension is issued, to obtain the withdrawal of such order or suspension at the earliest possible moment and to notify a Holder who holds Registrable Securities being sold of the issuance of such order and the resolution thereof or its receipt of actual notice of the initiation or threat of any proceeding for such purpose.

(h) At the reasonable request of a Holder and at such Holder’s expense, the Company shall use its best efforts to furnish to such Holder, on the date of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and thereafter from time to time on such dates as a Holder may reasonably request (i) a letter, dated such date, from the Company’s independent certified public accountants in form and substance as is customarily given by independent certified public accountants to underwriters in an underwritten public offering, and (ii) an opinion, dated as of such date, of counsel representing the Company for purposes of such Registration Statement, in form, scope and substance as is customarily given in an underwritten public offering, addressed to the Holder.

(i) The Company shall, upon reasonable notice and during normal business hours, make available for inspection by (i) the Holder, (ii) any legal counsel representing an Holder and (iii) one firm of accountants or other agents retained by such Holder (collectively, the “ Inspectors ”) all pertinent financial and other records, and pertinent corporate documents and properties of the Company (collectively, the “ Records ”), which are requested for any purpose reasonably related to a Holder’s rights and/or the Company’s obligations under this Article 6 , and cause the Company’s officers, directors and employees to supply all information which any Inspector may reasonably request; provided , however , that each Inspector which is not a party hereto shall agree in writing prior to obtaining access to any Records, and a Holder hereby agrees, to hold in strict confidence and shall not make any disclosure (except to a Holder similarly bound by the terms hereof) or use of any Record or other information which the Company determines in good faith to be confidential, and of which determination the Inspectors are so notified, unless (a) the disclosure of such Records is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement or is otherwise required under the Securities Act, (b) the release of such Records is ordered pursuant to a final, non-appealable subpoena or order from a court or government body of competent jurisdiction, or (c) 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 of which the Inspector has knowledge. The Holder receiving the Records agrees that it shall, if permitted by applicable law, upon learning that disclosure of such Records is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt notice to the Company prior to making any such disclosure and allow the Company, at its expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, the Records deemed confidential. The Holder undertaking an inspection pursuant to this Section 6.6(i) shall, and shall instruct its other Inspectors to, use commercially reasonable efforts to perform any such inspection in a manner designed to not materially disrupt the business activities of the Company. Nothing herein (or in any other confidentiality agreement between the Company and a Holder) shall be deemed to limit the Holder’s ability to sell Registrable Securities in a manner which is otherwise consistent with applicable laws and regulations.

(j) The Company shall hold in confidence and not make any disclosure of information concerning a Holder provided to the Company unless (i) disclosure of such information is necessary to comply with federal or state securities laws or the rules of NASDAQ, (ii) the disclosure of such information is necessary to avoid or correct a misstatement or omission in any Registration Statement, (iii) the release of such information is ordered pursuant to a subpoena or other final, non-appealable order from a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction, (iv) such information has been made generally available to the public other than by disclosure in violation of this Article 6 or any other agreement, or (v) such Holder expressly consents in writing to the form and content of any such disclosure. The Company agrees that it shall, if permitted by applicable law, upon learning that disclosure of such information concerning a Holder is sought in or by a court or governmental body of competent jurisdiction or through other means, give prompt written notice to such Holder prior to making any such disclosure and allow such Holder, at the Holder’s expense, to undertake appropriate action to prevent disclosure of, or to obtain a protective order for, such information.

(k) The Company shall use its best efforts either to (i) cause all the Registrable Securities covered by a Registration Statement to be listed on each securities exchange on which securities of the same class or series issued by the Company are then listed, if any, if the listing of such Registrable Securities is then permitted under the rules of such exchange, or (ii) secure designation and quotation of the Shares on NASDAQ. The Company shall pay all fees and expenses in connection with satisfying its obligation under this Section 6.6(k) .

(l) The Company shall cooperate with the Holder who holds Registrable Securities being offered and, to the extent applicable, to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates (not bearing any restrictive legend) representing the Registrable Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as such Holder may reasonably request and registered in such names as such Holder may request.

(m) If requested by a Holder, the Company shall (i) as soon as practicable incorporate in a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment, as necessary, such information as a Holder requests to be included therein relating to the Holder and the sale and distribution of Registrable Securities, including, without limitation, information with respect to the number of Registrable Securities being offered or sold, the purchase price being paid therefor and any other terms of the offering of the Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering; (ii) as soon as practicable, make all required filings of such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment after being notified of the matters to be incorporated in such prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment; and (iii) as soon as practicable, supplement or make amendments to any Registration Statement if reasonably requested by a Holder holding Registrable Securities.

(n) The Company shall use its best efforts to cause the Registrable Securities covered by the applicable Registration Statement to be registered with or approved by such other governmental agencies or authorities as may be necessary to consummate the disposition of such Registrable Securities within the United States.

(o) The Company shall otherwise use its best efforts to comply with all applicable rules and regulations of the SEC in connection with any registration hereunder.

(p) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 6.6 , at any time after the applicable Registration Statement has been declared effective by the SEC, the Company may delay the disclosure of material non-public information concerning the Company the disclosure of which at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Board and its counsel, in the best interest of the Company and, in the opinion of counsel to the Company, otherwise required (a “ Grace Period ”); provided , that the Company shall promptly (i) notify the Holder in writing of the existence of material non-public information giving rise to a Grace Period (provided that in each notice the Company will not disclose the content of such material non-public information to the Holder) and the date on which the Grace Period will begin, and (ii) notify the Holder in writing of the date on which the Grace Period ends; and, provided further , that no Grace Periods shall exceed sixty (60) consecutive days and during any consecutive three hundred sixty (360) day period, such Grace Periods shall not exceed an aggregate of one hundred twenty (120) days and the first day of any Grace Period must be at least five (5) trading days after the last day of any prior Grace Period (an “ Allowable Grace Period ”). For purposes of determining the length of a Grace Period above, the Grace Period shall begin on and include the date the Holder receives the notice referred to in clause (i) and shall end on and include the later of the date the Holders receive the notice referred to in clause (ii) and the date referred to in such notice. The provisions of Section 6.6(g) hereof shall not be applicable during the period of any Allowable Grace Period. Upon expiration of the Grace Period, the Company shall again be bound by the first sentence of Section 6.6(f) with respect to the information giving rise thereto unless such material non-public information is no longer applicable. In the event that the Company shall exercise its right to effect a Grace Period hereunder, the Registration Period during which the Registration Statement is to remain effective shall be extended by a period of time equal to the duration of any Grace Periods.

(q) At the end of the Registration Period the Holder shall discontinue sales of shares pursuant to the Registration Statement upon receipt of notice from the Company of its intention to remove from registration the shares covered by such Registration Statement which remain unsold, and such Holder shall notify the Company of the number of shares registered which remain unsold immediately upon receipt of such notice by the Company.

(a) At least seven (7) days prior to the first anticipated filing date of a Registration Statement, the Company shall notify a Holder in writing of the information the Company requires from such Holder if such Holder elects to have any of its Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement. It shall be a condition precedent to the obligations of the Company to complete the registration pursuant to this Article 6 with respect to such Registrable Securities that such Holder shall furnish to the Company information regarding itself, the Registrable Securities held by it and the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities held by it as shall be reasonably required to effect the registration of such Registrable Securities and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request, in each case within seven (7) Business Days of being notified by the Company of its necessity.

(b) A Holder by its acceptance of the Registrable Securities agrees to 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 election to exclude all of such Holder’s Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement.

(c) A Holder agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6.6(g) or the first sentence of Section 6.6(f) , such Holder will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to any Registration Statement(s) covering such Registrable Securities until such Holder’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus contemplated by Section 6.6(g) or the first sentence of Section 6.6(f) or receipt of notice that no supplement or amendment is required. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Company shall cause its transfer agent to deliver unlegended shares of Common Stock to a transferee of a Holder in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in connection with any sale of Registrable Securities with respect to which a Holder has entered into a contract for sale prior to such Holder’s receipt of a notice from the Company of the happening of any event of the kind described in Section 6.6(g) or the first sentence of Section 6.6(f) and for which such Holder has not yet settled.

(d) As promptly as practicable after becoming aware of such event, a Holder shall notify the Company in writing of the happening of any event as a result of which the information provided in writing by such Holder to the Company expressly for use in the prospectus included in a Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading; provided , however , that no separate written notification shall be required for any event disclosed by such Holder in a timely filing with the SEC relating to the Company’s securities.

6.8 Expenses of Registration . All expenses incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Sections 6.1 through 6.8 of this Article 6 , including, without limitation, all registration, listing and qualifications fees, printers and accounting fees, transfer agent fees and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, but excluding underwriting discounts and commissions, shall be paid by the Company. The Company shall also reimburse any Holder for the reasonable and documented fees and disbursements of its attorneys in connection with registration, filing or qualification pursuant to Sections 6.1 through 6.6 of this Article 6 . The Company shall pay all of such Holder’s reasonable costs (including fees and disbursements of its attorneys) incurred in connection with the successful enforcement of the Holder’s rights under this Article 6 .

6.9 Indemnification . In the event any Registrable Securities are included in a Registration Statement under this Article 6 :

(a) To the extent permitted by law, the Company shall indemnify any Holder, the directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents or other representatives of and each Person controlling such Holder within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, with respect to which any registration that has been effected pursuant to this Agreement, against all claims, losses, damages, liabilities, fines, penalties, charges, costs, reasonable attorneys’ fees, amounts paid in settlement or expenses, joint or several, (collectively, “ Claims ”) (or action in respect thereof), including any Claims incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 6.9(c) below), arising out of or based on (i) any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus (final or preliminary), any amendment or supplement thereof, issuer free-writing prospectus, circular, or other document incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, (ii) any violation by the Company of any rule or regulation promulgated by the Securities Act, the Exchange Act, or any other law, including, without limitation, any state securities law, or any rule or regulation thereunder relating to the offer or sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to a Registration Statement applicable to the Company and relating to any action or inaction required of the Company in connection with any such registration, qualification or compliance, or (iii) any violation by the Company of the terms of this Article 6 , and will reimburse any Holder, the directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents or other representatives of and each Person controlling such Holder, for reasonable legal and other out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim as incurred; provided that the Company will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of such Holder for use in preparation of such Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement; provided , further that the Company will not be liable in any such case where the Claim results from the material failure of such Holder to comply with the covenants and agreements contained in this Article 6 respecting sales of Registrable Securities.

(b) The Purchaser will indemnify the Company, the directors, officers, employees, agents, legal counsel and other representatives and each Person who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the Securities Act, against all Claims (or actions in respect thereof), including any Claims incurred in settlement of any litigation, commenced or threatened (subject to Section 6.9(c) below), arising out of or based on any untrue statement (or alleged untrue statement) of a material fact contained in the Registration Statement, prospectus (final or preliminary), any amendment or supplement thereof, issuer free-writing prospectus, circular or other documents, incident to any such registration, qualification or compliance, or based on any omission (or alleged omission) to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, and will reimburse the Company, the directors, officers, employees, agents, legal counsel and other representatives and each Person controlling the Company for reasonable legal and any other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Claim as incurred, in each case to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission or allegation thereof is made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Company by or on behalf of a Holder for use in preparation of the Registration Statement, prospectus, amendment or supplement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Holder’s aggregate liability pursuant to subsection (b) and (d) of this Section 6.9 shall not exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder from the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement giving rise to such liability.

(c) Each party entitled to indemnification under this Section 6.9 (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 (at its expense) to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting therefrom, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party, who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation, shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (whose approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at such Indemnified Party’s 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 Agreement, unless such failure is materially prejudicial to the Indemnifying Party in defending such claim or litigation. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an Indemnified Party shall have the right to retain its own counsel, with the fees and expenses to be paid by the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnified Party by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between such Indemnified Party and any other party represented by such counsel in such proceeding. An Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any settlement of an action or claim effected without its written consent (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld). No Indemnifying Party, in its 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.

(d) If the indemnification provided for in this Section 6.9 is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unavailable to an Indemnified Party with respect to any Claim referred to therein, then the Indemnifying Party, in lieu of indemnifying such Indemnified Party thereunder, 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 of the Indemnified Party on the other in connection with the statements or omissions which resulted in such Claim as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The relative fault of the Indemnifying Party and of the Indemnified Party shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by the Indemnifying Party or by the Indemnified Party and the parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission provided, that in no event shall any contribution by a Holder hereunder when combined with amounts paid pursuant to subsection (b) of this Section 6.9 exceed the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.

6.10 Assignment and Transfer . The rights to cause the Company to register Registrable Securities granted to the Purchaser by the Company in this Article 6 may be assigned to a Holder, provided that such Holder is an Affiliate of the Purchaser, in connection with a transfer by such Holder of all or a portion of its Registrable Securities; provided , however , that such transfer must be made at least five (5) days prior to the Filing Deadline and that (a) such transfer may otherwise be effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, including establishing the transferee’s qualification as an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the Securities Act; (b) such Holder gives prior written notice to the Company at least five (5) days prior to the Filing Deadline; and (c) such transferee agrees in writing with the Company to comply with and be bound by all of the provisions of this Agreement; and (d) such transfer is otherwise in accordance with the applicable requirements of this Agreement. Except as specifically permitted by this Section 6.10, the rights of a Holder with respect to Registrable Securities as set out herein shall not be transferable to any other Person, and any attempted transfer shall cause all rights of such Holder therein to be forfeited. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 6.10, no such restriction shall apply to a transfer by a Holder that is: (i) a partnership transferring to its partners or former partners in accordance with partnership interests; (ii) a corporation transferring to a wholly-owned subsidiary or a parent corporation that owns all of the capital stock of the Holder; (iii) a limited liability company transferring to its members or former members in accordance with their interest in the limited liability company; (iv) an affiliated investment fund transferring to another affiliated investment fund; or (v) an individual transferring to the Holder’s family member or trust for the benefit of an individual Holder; provided that in each case the transfer is effected in accordance with applicable securities laws, including establishing the transferee’s qualification as an “accredited investor” within the meaning of the Securities Act, and the transferee agrees in writing to be subject to the terms of this Agreement to the same extent as if the transferee were an original Holder hereunder.

6.11 Amendment and Waiver of Registration Rights . The rights of any Holder under the provisions of this Article 6 may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance, either retroactively or prospectively and either for a specified period of time or indefinitely) or amended by an instrument in writing signed by such Holder. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 6.11 shall be binding upon any Holder and the Company. By acceptance of the benefits under this Article 6, any Holder of the Registrable Securities hereby agree to be bound by the provisions hereof.

6.12 Lock-Up Period . For a period of six (6) months from the Closing Date, the Purchaser agrees not to offer, sell, contract to sell, pledge, grant any option to purchase, make any short sale or otherwise dispose of any Shares, or any securities convertible into, exchangeable for or that represent the right to receive the Shares, whether now owned or hereinafter acquired, owned directly by the Purchaser or with respect to which the Purchaser has beneficial ownership within the rules and regulations of the SEC.
