(a)               Upon written demand from Purchaser to the Company any time after the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date, the Company shall use reasonable best efforts to prepare and file with the SEC, within sixty (60) days from such written demand, a registration statement covering the resale of the Registrable Securities for an offering to be made on a continuous basis pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, as promptly as reasonably practicable (the “Shelf Registration Statement”). Such registration statement shall be on Form S-3or any comparable or successor form or forms or any similar short-form registration constituting a “shelf” registration statement providing for the registration of, and the sale by the holders of Registrable Securities on a continuous or delayed basis of, all of their Registrable Securities, pursuant to Rule 415 or otherwise. In addition, at any time following the 180th day after the Closing Date, and regardless of the effectiveness of the Shelf Registration Statement, the Purchaser shall have the right to require the Company to file two (2) registration statements under the Securities Act in respect of all or a portion of Registrable Securities owned by holders of Registrable Securities (the “Demand Registration Statements”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to effect such registration to permit the sale of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method or methods of disposition thereof under the Shelf Registration Statement and/or the Demand Registration Statements, as applicable, and pursuant thereto the Company shall cooperate in the sale of such Registrable Securities pursuant to each registration statement filed pursuant to this Section 7.1(a).

(b)               The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause any registration statement filed pursuant to Section 7.1(a) above to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible after the filing thereof, and shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such registration statement continuously effective under the Securities Act until the date that all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold (provided that before filing any amendments or supplements thereto, the Company will furnish copies of all such documents proposed to be filed to the Purchaser and the other holders of Registrable Securities).

(c)                The Company shall notify the holders of Registrable Securities in writing promptly (and in any event within two trading days) after receiving notification from the SEC that the registration statement has been declared effective.

(d)               The Company shall promptly notify each holder of Registrable Securities who is a seller, of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in any applicable registration statement contains an untrue statement of a material fact or omits any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, and, at the request of any such seller, the Company will promptly prepare a supplement or amendment to such prospectus so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

(e)                All expenses incident to the Company’s performance of or compliance with this Section 7.1, including, but not limited to, all registration and filing fees, fees and expenses of compliance with securities or blue sky laws, printing expenses, messenger and delivery expenses, and fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel chosen by the holders of the Registrable Securities included in such registration to represent all holders of Registrable Securities included in any registration and all independent certified public accountants, underwriters (excluding underwriting discounts and selling commissions) and other persons retained by the Company, will be borne by the Company.

(f)                The Company agrees to indemnify, to the extent permitted by Law, each holder of Registrable Securities, its members, managers, officers, employees and directors and each person who controls such holder (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses (including, but not limited to, attorneys’ fees and expenses) caused by any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in any registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, except insofar as the same are caused by or contained in any information furnished in writing to the Company by such holder expressly for use therein or by such holder’s failure to deliver a copy of the prospectus or any amendments or supplements thereto after the Company has furnished such holder with a sufficient number of copies of the same. In connection with any registration statement in which a holder of Registrable Securities is participating, each such holder will furnish to the Company in writing such information as is reasonably necessary for use in connection with any such registration statement or prospectus and, to the extent permitted by law, will indemnify the Company, its members, managers, directors, employees and officers and each person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses resulting from any untrue or alleged untrue statement of material fact contained in the registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus, or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or any omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but only to the extent that such untrue statement or omission is contained in or omitted from any information so furnished in writing by such holder for the acknowledged purpose of inclusion in such registration statement, prospectus or preliminary prospectus; provided that the obligation to indemnify will be several, not joint and several, among such holders of Registrable Securities and the liability of each such holder of Registrable Securities will be in proportion to and limited in all events to the net amount received by such holder from the sale of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration statement.

(g)               In the event the Purchaser elects to sell Shares in an underwritten offering, the Company agrees to cooperate in connection with the underwriting process and use reasonable best efforts to facilitate such underwritten offering, including, without limitation, entering into customary documentation, making all SEC filings that are customary in connection with an underwritten offering, making the Company reasonably available for diligence, and participating in road shows.

7.2          Piggy-Back Registration .

(a)                At any time and from time to time after the Closing Date, but prior to Purchaser’s exercise of its rights under Section 7.1(a), whenever the Company proposes to file a registration statement (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor forms or a registration statement that does not contemplate a distribution of the securities being registered on a firmly underwritten basis), the Company will, prior to such filing, (x) give written notice of such proposed filing to Purchaser, as soon as practicable but in no event less than twenty (20) days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the intended method(s) of distribution, the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and the type and estimated number of shares available to be included by way of piggyback registration, and (y) offer to the Purchaser in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Registrable Securities as such holders may request in writing within ten (10) days following receipt of such notice (a “ Piggy-Back Registration ”). Subject to (i) the applicable rules and regulations and interpretations of the SEC, including, without limitation, Rule 415 under the Securities Act, and (ii) Section 7.2(b), the Company shall permit such Registrable Securities to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. Purchaser proposing to distribute its securities through a Piggy-Back Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters shall complete and execute all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements (with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting by the Company), and other documents reasonably required under the terms of the applicable underwriting arrangements and shall take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Registrable Securities included in such underwriting.

(b)               If in the sole discretion of the managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of a Piggy-Back Registration, the offering of all, or part of, the Registrable Securities that Purchaser requested to be included would adversely affect such offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the underwriting only that number of Registrable Securities, if any, which the managing underwriter or underwriters believe may be sold without causing such adverse effect. If the number of Registrable Securities to be included in the underwriting in accordance with the foregoing is less than the total number of shares that Purchaser has requested to be included, then Purchaser shall participate in the underwriting pro rata based upon its total ownership of Registrable Securities. Any such limitation shall be imposed in such manner so as to avoid any diminution in the number of shares the Company may register for sale by giving first priority for the shares to be registered for issuance and sale by the Company and the underwriter, and by giving second priority for the shares to be registered for sale by Purchaser.

(c)                Notwithstanding the provisions and rights set forth in Section 7.1 and Section 7.2, Purchaser hereby acknowledges and agrees that the Shares shall not be transferred under any applicable Laws permitting any such transfer prior to the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date.

7.3           Indemnification . The Company (the “ Indemnitor ”) hereby agrees to indemnify, pay and hold the Purchaser and its Affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees and members (collectively, the “ Indemnified Parties ”) harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, liabilities, obligations, losses, damages (consequential or otherwise), penalties, actions, judgments, suits, claims and disbursements of any kind or nature whatsoever (including the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel) which may be imposed on, incurred by, or asserted against such Indemnified Party, in any manner relating to or arising out of (a) the failure of any of the representations and warranties set forth in Section 3 to be true and correct as of the Closing, and (b) any non-compliance with or breach of any covenant or agreement of the Company contained in this Agreement (the “ Indemnified Liabilities ”). Each Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnitor prompt written notice of any claim that might give rise to Indemnified Liabilities setting forth a description of those elements of such claim of which such Indemnified Party has knowledge; provided , that any delay or failure to give such notice shall not affect the obligations of the Indemnitor unless (and then solely to the extent) such Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such delay or failure. The Indemnitor shall have the right at any time during which such claim is pending to select counsel to defend and control the defense thereof and settle any claims for which they are responsible for indemnification hereunder ( provided , that the Indemnitor will not settle any such claim without the appropriate Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld (it being understood that such consent shall be reasonably withheld if any such settlement does not include as a term thereof the unconditional release of the appropriate Indemnified Party from all claims arising out of or in any way relating to the circumstances involving such claim) so long as in any such event the Indemnitor shall have stated in a writing delivered to the Indemnified Party that, as between the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor is responsible to the Indemnified Party with respect to such claim; provided , that the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to control the defense of any claim in the event that in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Indemnified Party there are one or more material defenses available to the Indemnified Party which are not available to the Indemnitor. To the extent that the undertaking to indemnify, pay and hold harmless set forth in the preceding sentence may be unenforceable because it is violative of any law or public policy, the Company shall contribute the maximum portion which it is permitted to pay and satisfy under applicable Law to the payment and satisfaction of all Indemnified Liabilities incurred by the Indemnified Parties or any of them. The obligations of the Company set forth in this Section 7.3 shall survive until the third anniversary of the date of the Closing and, with respect to any claim for Indemnified Liabilities made prior to the third anniversary of the Closing, until the final resolution thereof.

7.5          No Integration . The Company shall not make any offers or sales of any security (other than the Shares) under circumstances that would require registration of the Securities being offered or sold hereunder under the Exchange Act or cause the offering of the Shares to be integrated with any other offering of securities by the Company for the purpose of any stockholder approval provision applicable to the Company or its securities.

(b)               At any time during the period commencing from the six (6) month anniversary of the Closing Date and ending at such time that all of the Shares may be sold without the requirement for the Company to be in compliance with Rule 144(c)(1) and otherwise without restriction or limitation pursuant to Rule 144, if the Company shall fail for any reason to satisfy the current public information requirement under Rule 144(c) (a “ Public Information Failure ”) then, in addition to the Purchaser’s other available remedies, the Company shall pay to a Purchaser, in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, by reason of any such delay in or reduction of its ability to sell the Shares, an amount in cash equal to two percent (2.0%) of the Purchaser Price on the day of a Public Information Failure and on every thirtieth (30 ^th ) day (pro rated for periods totaling less than thirty days) thereafter until the earlier of (a) the date such Public Information Failure is cured and (b) such time that such public information is no longer required for the Purchaser to transfer the Shares pursuant to Rule 144 or a registration statement.

The Company shall have the obligation to accept Purchaser’s Put Notice and purchase the Put Shares in accordance with this Section 7.8. The purchase price to be paid by the Company for the Put Shares shall equal the Purchase Price set forth hereunder pro-rated for the number of shares being purchased (the “ Put Price ”). The Company shall purchase and pay for the Put Shares within ninety (90) days following the date of the Put Notice, unless otherwise agreed to by the Company and the Purchaser (the “ Put Closing Date ”).
