**ARTICLE I**

**REGISTRATION RIGHTS**

 

Section 1.1. Registration Statement. 

 

(a) Filing of the Registration Statement. Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Company shall file with theCommission within sixty (60) calendar days after the Closing Date a registration statement on Form S-3 under the Securities Act or such other form as deemed appropriate by counsel to the Company for the registration for the resale by theInvestor of the Registrable Securities (the “Registration Statement”). 

 

(b) Effectiveness of the Registration Statement. The Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts (i) to have the Registration Statement declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonablypracticable, but in any event no later than one hundred eighty (180) calendar days after the Closing Date and (ii) to ensure that the Registration Statement remains in effect throughout the term of this Agreement as set forth inSection 4.2, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

 

(c) Regulatory Disapproval. The contemplated effective date for the Registration Statement as described in Section 1.1(b) shall be extended without default or liquidated damages hereunder or under thePurchase Agreement in the event that the Company’s failure to obtain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement on a timely basis results solely from the Commission’s disapproval of the structure of the transactions contemplated bythe Purchase Agreement. In such event, the parties agree to cooperate with one another in good faith to arrive at a resolution acceptable to the Commission. 

(d) Failure to Maintain Effectiveness of Registration Statement. In the event the Company fails tomaintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement (or the Prospectus) throughout the period set forth in Section 4.2, other than temporary suspensions as set forth in Section 1.1(e) and the Investor holds any Registrable Securitiesat any time during the period of such ineffectiveness (an “Ineffective Period”), the Company shall pay to the Investor in immediately available funds into an account designated by the Investor an amount equal to the product of(x) the total number of Registrable Securities issued to the Investor under the Purchase Agreement and owned by the Investor at any time during such Ineffective Period and (y) the result, if greater than zero, obtained by subtracting theVWAP on the Trading Day immediately following the last day of such Ineffective Period from the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding the day on which any such Ineffective Period began; provided, however, (i) that theforegoing payments shall not apply in respect of Registrable Securities that are otherwise freely tradable by the Investor and (ii) that the Company shall be under no obligation to supplement the Prospectus to reflect the issuance of any Sharespursuant to a Draw Down at any time prior to the day following the Settlement Date with respect to such Shares and that the failure to supplement the Prospectus prior to such time period shall not be deemed a failure to maintain the effectiveness ofthe Registration Statement (or Prospectus) for purposes of this Agreement (including this Section 1.1(d)). 

 

(e) Deferral or Suspension During a Blackout Period. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 1.1(d), if in the good faith judgment of theCompany, following consultation with legal counsel, it would be detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for the Registration Statement to be filed or for resales of Registrable Securities to be made pursuant to the Registration Statement dueto (i) the existence of a material development or potential material development involving the Company that the Company would be obligated to disclose in the Registration Statement, which disclosure would be premature or otherwise inadvisableat such time or would have a Material Adverse Effect on the Company or its stockholders, or (ii) a filing of a Company-initiated registration of any class of its equity securities, which, in the good faith judgment of the Company, wouldadversely effect or require premature disclosure of the filing of such Company-initiated registration (notice thereof, a “Blackout Notice”), the Company shall have the right to (A) immediately defer such filing for a period ofnot more than sixty (60) days beyond the date by which such Registration Statement was otherwise required hereunder to be filed or (B) suspend use of such Registration Statement for a period of not more than thirty (30) days (any suchdeferral or suspension period, a “Blackout Period”). The Investor acknowledges that it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Registration Statement to be filed (or remain in effect) during aBlackout Period and therefore essential to defer such filing (or suspend the use thereof) during such Blackout Period and agrees to cease any disposition of the Registrable Securities during such Blackout Period. The Company may not utilize any ofits rights under this Section 1.1(e) to defer the filing of a Registration Statement (or suspend its effectiveness) more than six (6) times in any twelve (12) month period. In the event that, within fifteen (15) Trading Daysfollowing any Settlement Date, the Company gives a Blackout Notice to the Investor and the VWAP on the Trading Day immediately preceding such Blackout Period (“Old VWAP”) is greater than the VWAP on the first Trading Day followingsuch Blackout Period that the Investor may sell its Registrable Securities pursuant to an effective Registration Statement (“New VWAP”), then the Company shall pay to the Investor, by wire transfer of immediately funds to an accountdesignated by the Investor, the “Blackout Amount.” For the purposes of this Agreement, Blackout Amount means a percentage equal to: (1) seventy-five percent (75%) if such Blackout Notice is delivered prior to the fifth(5th) Trading Day following such Settlement Date; (2) fifty percent (50%) if such Blackout Notice is delivered on or after the fifth (5th) Trading Day following such Settlement Date, but prior to the tenth (10th) Trading Dayfollowing such Settlement Date; (3) twenty-five percent (25%) if such Blackout Notice is delivered on or after the tenth (10th) Trading Day following such Settlement Date, but prior to the fifteenth (15th) Trading Day followingsuch Settlement Date; and (4) zero percent (0%) thereafter of: the product of (i) the number of Registrable Securities purchased by the Investor pursuant to the most recent Draw Down and actually held by the Investor immediately prior tothe Blackout Period and (ii) the result, if greater than zero, obtained by 

subtracting the New VWAP from the Old VWAP. For any Blackout Period in respect of which a Blackout Amount becomes due andpayable, rather than paying the Blackout Amount, the Company may at is sole discretion, issue to the Investor shares of Common Stock with an aggregate market value determined as of the first Trading Day following such Blackout Period equal to theBlackout Amount (“Blackout Shares”). 

 

(f)Liquidated Damages. The Company and the Investor hereto acknowledge and agree that the amounts payable under Sections 1.1(d) and 1.1(e) and the Blackout Shares, if any, deliverable under Section 1.1(e) above shall constituteliquidated damages and not penalties. The parties further acknowledge that (i) the amount of loss or damages likely to be incurred by the Investor is incapable or is difficult to precisely estimate, (ii) the amounts specified in suchsubsections bear a reasonable proportion and are not plainly or grossly disproportionate to the probable loss likely to be incurred in connection with any failure by the Company to obtain or maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement,(iii) one of the reasons for the Company and the Investor reaching an agreement as to such amounts was the uncertainty and cost of litigation regarding the question of actual damages, and (iv) the Company and the Investor are sophisticatedbusiness parties and have been represented by sophisticated and able legal and financial counsel and negotiated this Agreement at arm’s length. 

 

(g) Additional Registration Statements. In the event and to the extent that the Registration Statement fails to register a sufficient amount ofCommon Stock necessary for the Company to issue and sell to the Investor and the Investor to purchase from the Company all of the Registrable Securities to be issued, sold and purchased under the Purchase Agreement and the Warrant, the Companyshall, upon a timetable mutually agreeable to both the Company and Investor, prepare and file with the Commission an additional registration statement or statements in order to effectuate the purpose of this Agreement, the Purchase Agreement, andthe Warrant.
