 2. Registration. 
  

(a) Registration Statement. (i) The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to comply with the reporting requirements of Section 13 or 15(d) of the Exchange
Act promptly following the closing of the purchase and sale of the securities contemplated by the Purchase Agreement. Promptly following the date (the “Reporting Date”) upon which the Company is again in compliance with such reporting
requirements but in any event not later than forty-five (45) days following the Reporting Date (the “Filing Deadline”), the Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to file with the SEC a registration statement on Form S-1
covering all Registrable Securities in an amount at least equal to the number of Shares plus the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to permit the exercise in full of the Warrants. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent
allowable under the 1933 Act and the rules promulgated thereunder (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the
Registrable Securities. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) to the Investors and their counsel prior to
its filing or other submission. If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Filing Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, as liquidated damages and not as
a penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been filed for which no
Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities; provided, however, that such liquidated damages shall be irrevocably waived in the event that the Registration Statement is declared effective by the SEC on or prior to the
Initial Effectiveness Date. Such payments shall be in compensation to the Investors, and shall constitute the Investors’ exclusive remedy for such events; provided, however, that the Investors shall retain their rights to seek specific
performance of the provisions hereof. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash. 
  
 (ii) Promptly following the date (the “Qualification Date”) upon which the Company becomes eligible to use a registration statement on Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for resale, but in no
event more than ten (10) days after the Qualification Date (the “Qualification Deadline”), the Company shall file a registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Registrable Securities (or a post-effective amendment on Form S-3 to the
registration statement on Form S-1) (a “Shelf Registration Statement”) and shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as practicable thereafter. If a Shelf
Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC on or prior to the Qualification Deadline, the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in an amount equal
to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Shelf Registration Statement should have been filed for which no such Shelf Registration Statement
is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities. Such payments shall be in compensation to the Investors, and shall constitute the Investors’ exclusive remedy for such events; provided, however, that the Investors shall retain their rights
to seek specific performance of the provisions hereof. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash. 
  
 (b) Expenses. The Company will pay all expenses associated with each registration, including filing and printing fees, counsel and accounting fees and expenses, costs associated with clearing the Registrable
Securities for sale under applicable state securities laws and listing fees, but excluding fees and expenses of counsel to the Investors, discounts, commissions, fees of underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers or similar securities industry
professionals with respect to the Registrable Securities being sold. 
  
 (c) Effectiveness. 
  
 (i) The Company
shall use commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement, any post effective amendment thereto and any Shelf Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable. The Company shall notify the Investors by facsimile or
e-mail as promptly as practicable, and in any event, within twenty-four (24) hours, after any Registration Statement or post-effective amendment is declared effective and shall simultaneously provide the Investors with copies of any related
Prospectus to be used in connection with the sale or other disposition of the securities covered thereby. If (A)(x) a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not declared effective by the SEC within 120 days after the Filing
Deadline (the “Initial Effectiveness Deadline”) or (y) a Shelf Registration Statement is 

  









 
not declared effective by the SEC within 90 days after the Qualification Deadline, or (B) after a Registration Statement has been declared effective by the
SEC, sales cannot be made pursuant to such Registration Statement for any reason (including without limitation by reason of a stop order, or the Company’s failure to update the Registration Statement), but excluding the inability of any
Investor to sell the Registrable Securities covered thereby due to market conditions and except as excused pursuant to subparagraph (ii) below, then the Company will make pro rata payments to each Investor, as liquidated damages and not as a
penalty, in an amount equal to 1.0% of the aggregate amount invested by such Investor for each 30-day period or pro rata for any portion thereof following the date by which such Registration Statement should have been effective (the “Blackout
Period”). Such payments shall be in compensation to the Investors, and shall constitute the Investors’ exclusive remedy for such events; provided, however, that the Investors shall retain their rights to seek specific performance of the
provisions hereof. The amounts payable as liquidated damages pursuant to this paragraph shall be paid monthly within three (3) Business Days of the last day of each month following the commencement of the Blackout Period until the termination of the
Blackout Period. Such payments shall be made to each Investor in cash. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the effectiveness of the registration statement on Form S-1 is delayed due to events beyond the Company’s control, the
parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the amount of the liquidated damages payable as a result of such delay. 
  
 (ii) For not more than twenty (20) consecutive days or for a total of not more than forty-five (45) days in any twelve (12) month period, the Company may
suspend the use of any Prospectus included in any registration contemplated by this Section by the Investors if the Company believes in good faith that it would be seriously detrimental to the Company for resales to be made pursuant to a prospectus
in the registration statement due to the existence of a material development or potential material development, which is required to be disclosed in such prospectus and which disclosure at the time is not, in the good faith opinion of the Company,
in the best interests of the Company (an “Allowed Delay”); provided, however, that so long as the Registration Statement is on Form S-1 or on any other form that does not allow for incorporation by reference of reports and other materials
filed by the Company pursuant .to Section 13(a) or 15(d) of the 1934 Act, the Company may suspend sales under the Registration Statement (and such suspension shall be deemed to be an Allowed Delay without regard to the time periods mentioned above)
(i) for the period commencing at the time that the Company disseminates a press release announcing its preliminary financial results for any fiscal period and ending on the fifth Business Day after the earlier of (A) the date that the related report
on Form 10-K or 10-Q, as applicable, Act is filed with the SEC and (B) the date on which such report is required to be filed under the 1934 Act (without regard to Rule 12b-25 promulgated thereunder) and (ii) for the period commencing at the time
that the Company disseminates a press release announcing a material development and ending on the fifth Business Day after the earlier of (A) the date that the related report on Form 8-K is filed with the SEC and (B) the date on which such report is
required to be filed under the 1934 Act (without regard to Rule 12b-25 promulgated thereunder) to the extent, but in any such case only to the extent necessary to allow any post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement or supplement to the
Prospectus to be prepared and, if necessary, filed with the SEC and declared effective. 
  
 (iii) The Company shall promptly (a) notify the Investors in writing of the existence of (but in no event, without the prior written consent of an Investor, shall the Company disclose to such Investor any of the facts
or circumstances regarding) material non-public information giving rise to an Allowed Delay, (b) advise the Investors in writing to cease all sales under the Registration Statement until the end of the Allowed Delay, and (c) use commercially
reasonable efforts to terminate an Allowed Delay as promptly as practicable. 
  
 (d) Underwritten Offering. If any offering pursuant to a Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2(a) hereof involves an underwritten offering, the Company shall have the right to select an investment banker and manager to
administer the offering, which investment banker or manager shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Required Investors. 
  
 3. Company Obligations. The Company will use commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration of the Registrable Securities in accordance with the
terms hereof, and pursuant thereto the Company will, as expeditiously as possible: 
  
 (a) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to become effective and to remain continuously effective (subject to the terms hereof) for a period that will terminate upon the earlier of (i) the date on

the distribution of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby;

any document to which such counsel reasonably objects; 
  
 (d) furnish to
the Investors and their legal counsel (i) promptly after the same is prepared and publicly distributed, filed with the SEC, or received by the Company (but not later than two (2) Business Days after the filing date, receipt date or sending date, as
the case may be) one (1) copy of any Registration Statement and any amendment thereto, each preliminary prospectus and Prospectus and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each letter written by or on behalf of the Company to the SEC or the
staff of the SEC, and each item of correspondence from the SEC or the staff of the SEC, in each case relating to such Registration Statement (other than any portion of any thereof which contains information for which the Company has sought
confidential treatment), and (ii) such number of copies of a Prospectus, including a preliminary prospectus, and all amendments and supplements thereto and such other documents as each Investor may reasonably request in order to facilitate the
disposition of the Registrable Securities owned by such Investor that are covered by the related Registration Statement; 
  
 (e) in the event the Company selects an underwriter for the offering, the Company shall enter into and perform its reasonable obligations under an underwriting
agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the underwriter of such offering;

(including any Investor deemed to be an underwriter); 
  
 (g) use
commercially reasonable efforts to (i) prevent the issuance of any stop order or other suspension of effectiveness and, (ii) if such order is issued, obtain the withdrawal of any such order at the earliest possible moment; 
  
 (h) prior to any public offering of Registrable Securities, use commercially reasonable
efforts to register or qualify or cooperate with the Investors and their counsel in connection with the registration or qualification of such Registrable Securities for offer and sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions
requested by the Investors and do any and all other commercially reasonable acts or things necessary or advisable to enable the distribution in such jurisdictions of the Registrable Securities covered by the Registration Statement; provided,

 (j) immediately notify the Investors, at any time when a Prospectus relating to Registrable Securities is required to be delivered under
the 1933 Act, upon discovery that, or upon 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 omits to state any
material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing, and at the request of any such holder, promptly prepare and furnish to such holder a reasonable
number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such Prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such Prospectus shall not include an 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 not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing; and

or Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (C) such other information as may be reasonably requested in order to avail such Investor of any rule or regulation of the SEC that permits the selling of any such Registrable Securities without registration.

  
 4. Due Diligence Review; Information. The Company shall make

limitation, in response to all questions and other inquiries reasonably made or submitted by any of them), prior to and from time to time after the filing and effectiveness of the Registration Statement for the sole purpose of enabling the Investors
and such representatives, advisors and underwriters and their respective accountants and attorneys to conduct initial and ongoing due diligence with respect to the Company and the accuracy of such Registration Statement. 
  
 The Company shall not disclose material nonpublic information to the

representatives with the opportunity to accept or refuse to accept such material nonpublic information for review and any Investor wishing to obtain such information enters into an appropriate confidentiality agreement with the Company with respect
thereto. 
  









 5. Obligations of the Investors. 
  
 (a) Each Investor shall furnish in writing to the Company such 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. At least five (5) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of any Registration Statement, the Company shall notify each Investor of the information the Company requires from such Investor if such
Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. An Investor shall provide such information to the Company at least two (2) Business Days prior to the first anticipated filing date of such
Registration Statement if such Investor elects to have any of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement. 
  
 (b) Each Investor, 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 a Registration Statement hereunder, unless such Investor has notified the Company in writing of its election to exclude all of its Registrable Securities from such Registration Statement. 
  
 (c) In the event the Company, at the request of the Investors, determines to engage the
services of an underwriter, such Investor agrees to enter into and perform its obligations under an underwriting agreement, in usual and customary form, including, without limitation, customary indemnification and contribution obligations, with the
managing underwriter of such offering and take such other actions as are reasonably required in order to expedite or facilitate the dispositions of the Registrable Securities. 
  
 (d) Each Investor agrees that, upon receipt of any notice from the Company of either (i) the commencement of an Allowed Delay pursuant to
Section 2(c)(ii) or (ii) the happening of an event pursuant to Section 3(j) hereof, such Investor will immediately discontinue disposition of Registrable Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement covering such Registrable Securities, until
the Investor’s receipt of the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus filed with the SEC and declared effective and, if so directed by the Company, the Investor shall deliver to the Company (at the expense of the Company) or destroy
(and deliver to the Company a certificate of destruction) all copies in the Investor’s possession of the Prospectus covering the Registrable Securities current at the time of receipt of such notice. 
  
 (e) No Investor may participate in any third party underwritten registration hereunder
unless it (i) agrees to sell the Registrable Securities on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements in usual and customary form entered into by the Company, (ii) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities,
underwriting agreements and other documents reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements, and (iii) agrees to pay its pro rata share of all underwriting discounts and commissions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, no Investor
shall be required to make any representations to such underwriter, other than those with respect to itself and the Registrable Securities owned by it, including its right to sell the Registrable Securities, and any indemnification in favor of the
underwriter by the Investors shall be several and not joint and limited in the case of any Investor, to the proceeds received by such Investor from the sale of its Registrable Securities. The scope of any such indemnification in favor of an
underwriter shall be limited to the same extent as the indemnity provided in Section 6(b) hereof. 
  
 6. Indemnification. 
  
 (a)
Indemnification by the Company. The Company will indemnify and hold harmless each Investor and its officers, directors, members, employees and agents, successors and assigns, and each other person, if any, who controls such Investor within
the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, to which they may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect
thereof) arise out of or are based upon: (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in any Registration Statement, any preliminary prospectus or final prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or
supplement thereof; (ii) any blue sky application or other document executed by the Company specifically for that purpose or based upon written information furnished by the Company filed in any state or other jurisdiction in order to qualify any or
all of the Registrable Securities under the securities laws thereof (any such application, document or information herein called a “Blue Sky Application”); (iii) the omission or alleged omission to state therein
a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; (iv) any violation by the Company or its agents of any rule or regulation promulgated under the 1933 Act applicable to the Company or its
agents and relating to action or inaction required of the Company in connection with such registration (except to the extent arising from a breach by such Investor of the terms hereof); or (v) any failure to register or qualify the Registrable
Securities included in any such Registration in any state where the Company or its agents has affirmatively undertaken or agreed in writing 

  









 
that the Company will undertake such registration or qualification on an Investor’s behalf (the undertaking of any underwriter chosen by the Company
being attributed to the Company) and will reimburse such Investor, and each such officer, director or member and each such controlling person for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by them in connection with investigating or defending
any such loss, claim, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the Company will not be liable in any such case if and to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or
alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission so made in conformity with information furnished by such Investor or any such controlling person in writing specifically for use in such Registration Statement or Prospectus. 

 
 (b) Indemnification by the Investors. In connection with any registration
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, each Investor will furnish to the Company in writing such information as the Company reasonably requests concerning the holders of Registrable Securities or the proposed manner of distribution for use in
connection with any Registration Statement or Prospectus and agrees, severally but not jointly, to indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors, officers, employees, stockholders and each person who
controls the Company (within the meaning of the 1933 Act) against any losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expense (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from (i) any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission of a material fact
required to be stated in the Registration Statement or Prospectus or preliminary prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, to the extent, but only to the extent that such untrue
statement or omission is contained in any information furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in such Registration Statement or Prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto or (ii) a breach by such Investor
of the terms hereof. In no event shall the liability of an Investor be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expense paid by such Investor in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any
damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue statement or omission) received by such Investor upon the sale of the Registrable Securities included in the Registration Statement giving rise to such indemnification
obligation. 
  
 (c) Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any
person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel
reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that any person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such claim, but the fees and expenses of such
counsel shall be at the expense of such person unless (a) the indemnifying party has agreed to pay such fees or expenses, or (b) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory
to such person or (c) in the reasonable judgment of any such person, based upon written advice of its counsel, a conflict of interest exists between such person and the indemnifying party with respect to such claims (in which case, if the person
notifies the indemnifying party in writing that such person elects to employ separate counsel at the expense of the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such claim on behalf of such person);
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 hereunder, except to the extent that such failure to give notice shall materially
adversely affect the indemnifying party in the defense of any such claim or litigation. It is understood that the indemnifying party shall not, in connection with any proceeding in the same jurisdiction, be liable for fees or expenses of more than
one separate firm of attorneys at any time for all such indemnified parties. No indemnifying party will, except with the consent of the indemnified party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that 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 of such claim or litigation. 
  
 (d) Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in the preceding paragraphs (a) and (b) is unavailable to an
indemnified party or insufficient to hold it harmless, other than as expressly specified therein, then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such loss, claim, damage or
liability in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnified party and the indemnifying party, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation within the
meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act shall be entitled to contribution from any person not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. In no event shall the contribution obligation of a holder of Registrable Securities be greater in amount than
the dollar amount of the proceeds (net of all expenses paid by such holder in connection with any claim relating to this Section 6 and the amount of any damages such holder has otherwise been required to pay by reason of such untrue or alleged
untrue statement or 

  









 
omission or alleged omission) received by it upon the sale of the Registrable Securities giving rise to such contribution obligation.
