REGISTRATIONS</div>

2.1 Shelf Registration and Demand Registration.

2.1.1 Shelf Registration. The Company agrees that as promptly as reasonably possible, but in no event later than within thirty (30) days after the Closing, the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a Registration Statement registering the resale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities (a “ Shelf Registration”). The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the initial filing of the Registration Statement. Subject to the limitations contained in this Agreement, the Company shall effect any Shelf Registration on such appropriate registration form of the Commission (i) as shall be selected by the Company and (ii) as shall permit the resale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities by the Holders pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to the Holders. If at any time a Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to subsection 2.1.1is effective and a Holder provides written notice to the Company that it intends to effect an offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities included on such Registration Statement, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to amend or supplement such Registration Statement as may be necessary in order to enable such offering to take place in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
