ARTICLE 3
REGISTRATION RIGHTS

The Company will perform and comply, and cause each of its subsidiaries to perform and comply, with such of the following provisions as are applicable to it. Each Investor will perform and comply with such of the following provisions as are applicable to such Investor.

Section 3.1Shelf Registration.

Section 3.1.1Request for Shelf Registration. As soon as reasonably practicable, but in any event on or prior to 30th day following the Closing Date (the “Filing Date”), the Company shall file with the SEC a shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (“Shelf Registration Statement”) relating to the offer and sale of Registrable Securities held by the Investors and any other Investors from time to time in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by the Investors, and the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to become effective under the Securities Act as soon as reasonably practicable following its initial filing. Any such Registration pursuant to a Shelf Registration Request shall hereinafter be referred to as a “Shelf Registration.” The Shelf Registration Statement shall be on Form S-3 or, if Form S-3 is not then available to the Company, on Form S-1 or such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of such Registrable Securities.

Section 3.1.2If: (i) the Shelf Registration Statement is not filed on or prior to its Filing Date, (ii) the Company fails to file with the SEC a request for acceleration of a Registration Statement in accordance with Rule 461 promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act, within five Business Days of the date that the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the SEC that such Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review, or (iii) after the effective date of a Registration Statement, such Registration Statement ceases for any reason to remain continuously effective as to all Registrable Securities included in such Registration Statement, or the Investors are otherwise not permitted to utilize the Prospectus therein to resell such Registrable Securities (other than due to the fault of an Investor), for more than twenty (20) consecutive calendar days or more than an aggregate of twenty-five (25) calendar days (which need not be consecutive calendar days) during any 12-month period (any such failure or breach being referred to as an “Event,” and for purposes of clause (i), the date on which such Event occurs, and for purpose of clause (ii) the date on which such five (5) Business Days period is exceeded, and for purpose of clause (iii) the date on which such twenty (20) or twenty-five (25) calendar day period, as applicable, is exceeded being referred to as “Event Date”), then, in addition to any other rights the Investors may have hereunder or under applicable law, on each such Event Date and on each monthly anniversary of each such Event Date (if the applicable Event shall not have been cured by such date) until the applicable Event is cured, the Company shall pay to each Investor an amount in cash, as partial liquidated damages and not as a penalty, equal to the product of 0.5% multiplied by the aggregate purchase price paid by such Investor pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement for such Registerable Securities held by such Investor on such Event Date, provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to make any payments pursuant to this Section 3.1.2 if an Event occurred at such time that all Registrable Securities are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information 

- 5 -ipstewar-152459137.1.doc

requirements) promulgated by the SEC pursuant to the Securities Act; provided, further, that the Company shall not be required to make any payments pursuant to this Section 3.1.2 with respect to any Registrable Securities the Company is unable to register due to limits imposed by the SEC’s interpretation of Rule 415 under the Securities Act. The parties agree that the maximum aggregate liquidated damages payable to an Investor under this Agreement and the Securities Purchase Agreement shall be 8.0% of the aggregate Subscription Amount paid by such Investor pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement. If the Company fails to pay any partial liquidated damages pursuant to this Section 3.1.2 in full within seven (7) Business Days after the date payable, the Company will pay interest thereon at a rate of 1.0% per month (or such lesser maximum amount that is permitted to be paid by applicable law) to the Investor, accruing daily from the date such partial liquidated damages are due until such amounts, plus all such interest thereon, are paid in full. The partial liquidated damages pursuant to the terms hereof shall apply on a daily pro rata basis for any portion of a month prior to the cure of an Event.  Such payments shall constitute the Investors’ exclusive monetary remedy for such Events, but shall not affect the right of the Investors to seek injunctive relief.

Section 3.1.3Continued Effectiveness. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to keep such Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective under the Securities Act in order to permit the Prospectus forming part of the Shelf Registration Statement to be usable by an Investor until the earlier of: (i) the date as of which all Registrable Securities have been sold pursuant to the Shelf Registration Statement or another Registration Statement filed under the Securities Act (but in no event prior to the applicable period referred to in Section 4(a)(3) of the Securities Act and Rule 174 thereunder); and (ii) the date as of which all Investors no longer hold Registrable Securities (such period of effectiveness, the “Shelf Period”).                  

Section 3.1.4Suspension of Registration. If the continued use of such Shelf Registration Statement at any time would require the Company to make an Adverse Disclosure, the Company may, upon giving prompt written notice of such action to the Investors, suspend use of the Shelf Registration Statement (a “Shelf Suspension”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be permitted to exercise a Shelf Suspension more than one time during any twelve (12)-month period for a period not to exceed ninety (90) consecutive days. In the case of a Shelf Suspension, the Investors agree to suspend use of the applicable Prospectus in connection with any sale or purchase of, or offer to sell or purchase, Registrable Securities, upon receipt of the notice referred to above. The Company shall immediately notify the Investors in writing upon the termination of any Shelf Suspension, amend or supplement the Prospectus, if necessary, so it does not contain any untrue statement or omission and furnish to the Investors such numbers of copies of the Prospectus as so amended or supplemented as the Investors may reasonably request. The Company shall, if necessary, supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the registration form used by the Company for the Shelf Registration Statement or by the instructions applicable to such registration form or by the Securities Act or the rules or regulations promulgated thereunder or as may reasonably be requested by the Investors of a majority of the Registrable Securities then outstanding.

Section 3.1.5Limitation of Shelf Registration.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the SEC or any SEC Guidance sets forth a limitation on the number of Registrable Securities permitted to be registered on a particular Registration Statement as a secondary offering (and notwithstanding that the Company used diligent efforts to 

- 6 -ipstewar-152459137.1.doc

advocate with the SEC for the registration of all or a greater portion of Registrable Securities), unless otherwise directed in writing by an Investor as to its Registrable Securities, the number of Registrable Securities to be registered on such Registration Statement will be reduced as follows: 

(a)First, the Company shall reduce or eliminate any securities to be included by any Person other than the Investors; 

(b)Second, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Common Stock Warrant Shares and Preferred Stock Warrant Shares (applied, in the case that some Common Stock Warrant Shares and Preferred Stock Warrant Shares may be registered, to the Investors on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Common Stock Warrant Shares and Preferred Stock Warrant Shares held by such Investors); and

(c)Third, the Company shall reduce Registrable Securities represented by Shares and Conversion Shares (applied, in the case that some Shares and Conversion Shares may be registered, to the Investors on a pro rata basis based on the total number of unregistered Shares and Conversion Shares held by such Investors).

In the event of a cutback hereunder, the Company shall give the Investor at least two (2) Business Days prior written notice along with the calculations as to such Investor’s allotment.  In the event the Company amends the initial Registration Statement filed pursuant to this Agreement in accordance with the foregoing, the Company will use its best efforts to file with the SEC, as promptly as allowed by the SEC or SEC Guidance provided to the Company or to registrants of securities in general, one or more registration statements on Form S-3 or such other form available to register for resale those Registrable Securities that were not registered for resale on such initial Registration Statement, as amended.

Section 3.2Piggyback Registration.

Section 3.2.1Participation. If the Company at any time proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act or to conduct a Public Offering with respect to any offering of its equity securities for its own account or for the account of any other Persons (other than (i) a Registration under Section 3.1, (ii) a Registration on Form S-4 or Form S-8 or any successor form to such forms or (iii) a Registration of securities solely relating to an offering and sale to employees or directors of the Company or its subsidiaries pursuant to any employee stock plan or other employee benefit plan arrangement), then, as soon as practicable (but in no event less than ten (10) Business Days prior to the proposed date of filing of such Registration Statement or, in the case of a Public Offering under a Shelf Registration Statement, the anticipated pricing or trade date), the Company shall give written notice (a “Piggyback Notice”) of such proposed filing or Public Offering to the Investors, and such Piggyback Notice shall offer the Investors the opportunity to register under such Registration Statement, or to sell in such Public Offering, such number of Registrable Securities as the Investors may request in writing (a “Piggyback Registration”). Subject to Section 3.2.2, the Company shall include in such Registration Statement or in such Public Offering as applicable, all such Registrable Securities that are requested to be included therein within seven (7) Business Days after the receipt from the Investor of any such notice; provided, however, that if at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register or sell any securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such Registration, or the pricing or trade date of a Public 

- 7 -ipstewar-152459137.1.doc

Offering under a Shelf Registration Statement, the Company determines for any reason not to register or sell or to delay the Registration or sale of such securities, the Company shall give written notice of such determination to the Investors and, thereupon, (i) in the case of a determination not to register or sell, shall be relieved of its obligation to register or sell any Registrable Securities in connection with such Registration or Public Offering (but not from its obligation to pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), and (ii) in the case of a determination to delay Registration or sale, shall be permitted to delay registering or selling any Registrable Securities, for the same period as the delay in registering or selling such other securities. The Investors shall have the right to withdraw all or part of their request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw. The parties hereto understand and agree that any failure of an Investor to timely provide any required information pursuant to this Section 3.2.1 shall be deemed a waiver by such Investor of its rights to include its Registrable Securities in a Piggyback Registration and to receive related liquidated damages hereunder.

Section 3.2.2Priority of Piggyback Registration. If the managing underwriter or underwriters of any proposed offering of Registrable Securities included in a Piggyback Registration informs the Company and the Investors in writing that, in its or their opinion, the aggregate number of securities that the Investors and any other Persons intend to include in such offering exceeds the number that can be sold in such offering without being likely to have a significant adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities offered or the market for the securities offered, then the securities to be included in such Registration shall be (i) first, one hundred percent (100%) of the securities that the Company proposes to sell, and (ii) second, and only if all the securities referred to in clause (i) have been included, the aggregate number of the Investors’ Registrable Securities who have sought to include such Registrable Securities in the proposed offering, on a pro rata basis based on such aggregate number of such securities, that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter or underwriters, can be sold without having such adverse effect, and (iii) third, and only if all of the Registrable Securities referred to in clause (ii) have been included in such Registration, any other securities eligible for inclusion in such Registration.

Section 3.2.3No Effect on Other Registrations. No Registration of Registrable Securities effected pursuant to a request under this Section 3.2 shall be deemed to have been effected pursuant to Section 3.1 or shall relieve the Company of its obligations under Section 3.1.

Section 3.3Registration Procedures.

Section 3.3.1Requirements.

The Company shall indemnify and hold harmless, to the full extent permitted by law, the Investors, each shareholder, member, limited or general partner of any Investor, each shareholder, member, limited or general partner of each such shareholder, member, limited or general partner, each of their respective Affiliates, officers, directors, shareholders, employees, advisors, and agents and each Person who controls (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) such Persons and each of their respective Representatives from and against any and all losses, penalties, judgments, suits, costs, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses, joint or several (including reasonable costs of investigation and legal expenses as incurred and any indemnity and contribution payments made to underwriters ) (each, a “Loss” and collectively “Losses”) arising out of or based upon (i) any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities are registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or any other disclosure document produced by or on behalf of the Company or any of its subsidiaries including any report and other document filed under the Exchange Act, (ii) any omission or alleged omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by the Company or any of its subsidiaries of any federal, state, foreign or common law rule or regulation 

- 12 -ipstewar-152459137.1.doc

applicable to the Company or any of its subsidiaries and relating to action or inaction in connection with any such registration, disclosure document or other document or report; provided, that the Investors shall not be entitled to indemnification pursuant to this Section 3.4.1 in respect of any untrue statement or omission contained in any information relating to any Investor furnished in writing by such Investor to the Company specifically for inclusion in a Registration Statement and used by the Company in conformity therewith (such information “Selling Stockholder Information”). This indemnity shall be in addition to any liability the Company may otherwise have. Such indemnity shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of the Investors or any indemnified party and shall survive the Transfer of such securities by any Investor and regardless of any indemnity agreed to in the underwriting agreement that is less favorable to the Investors. The Company shall also indemnify underwriters, selling brokers, dealer managers and similar securities industry professionals participating in the distribution, their officers and directors and each Person who controls such Persons (within the meaning of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act) to the same extent as provided above (with appropriate modification) with respect to the indemnification of the indemnified parties.

Section 3.4.2Indemnification by the Investors. Each Investor shall (severally and not jointly) indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Company, its directors and officers and each Person who controls the Company (within the meaning of the Securities Act or the Exchange Act) from and against any Losses resulting from (i) any untrue statement of a material fact in any Registration Statement under which such Registrable Securities were registered or sold under the Securities Act (including any final, preliminary or summary Prospectus contained therein or any amendment thereof or supplement thereto or any documents incorporated by reference therein) or (ii) any omission to state therein a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein (in the case of a Prospectus or preliminary Prospectus, in light of the circumstances under which they were made) not misleading, in each case to the extent, but only to the extent, that such untrue statement or omission is contained in such Investor’s Selling Stockholder Information. In no event shall the liability of any Investor hereunder be greater in amount than the dollar amount of the proceeds from the sale of its Registrable Securities in the offering giving rise to such indemnification obligation, net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses, less any amounts paid by such Investor pursuant to Section 3.4.4 and any amounts paid by such Investor as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale.

Section 3.4.3Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings. Any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall (i) give prompt written notice to the indemnifying party of any claim with respect to which it seeks indemnification (provided that any delay or failure to so notify the indemnifying party shall relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations hereunder only to the extent, if at all, that it forfeits substantive legal rights by reason of such delay or failure) and (ii) permit such indemnifying party to assume the defense of such claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided, however, that any Person entitled to indemnification hereunder shall have the right to select and 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 (i) the indemnifying party has agreed in writing to pay such fees or expenses, (ii) the indemnifying party shall have failed to assume the defense of such claim 

- 13 -ipstewar-152459137.1.doc

within a reasonable time after receipt of notice of such claim from the Person entitled to indemnification hereunder and employ counsel reasonably satisfactory to such Person, (iii) the indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based upon advice of its counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it or other indemnified parties that are different from or in addition to those available to the indemnifying party, or (iv) in the reasonable judgment of any such Person (based upon advice of its counsel) a conflict of interest may exist 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). If the indemnifying party assumes the defense, the indemnifying party shall not have the right to settle such action without the consent of the indemnified party. No indemnifying party shall 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 an unconditional release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation without the prior written consent of such indemnified party. If such defense is not assumed by the indemnifying party, the indemnifying party will not be subject to any liability for any settlement made without its prior written consent, but such consent may not be unreasonably withheld. It is understood that the indemnifying party or parties shall not, except as specifically set forth in this Section 3.4.3, in connection with any proceeding or related proceedings in the same jurisdiction, be liable for the reasonable fees, disbursements or other charges of more than one separate firm admitted to practice in such jurisdiction at any one time unless (x) the employment of more than one counsel has been authorized in writing by the indemnifying party or parties, (y) an indemnified party has reasonably concluded (based on the advice of counsel) that there may be legal defenses available to it that are different from or in addition to those available to the other indemnified parties or (z) a conflict or potential conflict exists or may exist (based upon advice of counsel to an indemnified party) between such indemnified party and the other indemnified parties, in each of which cases the indemnifying party shall be obligated to pay the reasonable fees and expenses of such additional counsel or counsels.

Section 3.4.4Contribution. If for any reason the indemnification provided for in Section 3.4.1 and Section 3.4.2 is unavailable to an indemnified party or insufficient in respect of any Losses referred to therein (other than as a result of exceptions or limitations on indemnification contained in Section 3.4.1 and Section 3.4.2), then the indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by the indemnified party as a result of such Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party or parties on the other hand in connection with the acts, statements or omissions that resulted in such Losses, as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. In connection with any Registration Statement filed with the SEC by the Company, the relative fault of the indemnifying party on the one hand and the indemnified party on the other hand shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether any untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged 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. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just or equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 3.4.4 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation that does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this 

- 14 -ipstewar-152459137.1.doc

Section 3.4.4. No Person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the Securities Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any Person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation. The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the Losses referred to in Sections 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 shall be deemed to include, subject to the limitations set forth above, any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 3.4.4, in connection with any Registration Statement filed by the Company, no Investor shall not be required to contribute any amount in excess of the dollar amount of the proceeds from the sale of its Registrable Securities in the offering giving rise to such indemnification obligation, net of underwriting discounts and commissions but before expenses, less any amounts paid by such Investor pursuant to Section 3.4.2 and any amounts paid by such Investor as a result of liabilities incurred under the underwriting agreement, if any, related to such sale. If indemnification is available under this Section 3.4, the indemnifying parties shall indemnify each indemnified party to the full extent provided in Sections 3.4.1 and 3.4.2 hereof without regard to the provisions of this Section 3.4.4. The remedies provided for in this Section 3.4 are not exclusive and shall not limit any rights or remedies which may otherwise be available to any indemnified party at law or in equity.

Section 3.5Rules 144 and 144A and Regulation S

. The Company shall file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations adopted by the SEC thereunder (or, if the Company is not required to file such reports, it will, upon the request of any Investor, make publicly available such necessary information for so long as necessary to permit sales that would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement pursuant to Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC), and it will take such further action as any Investor may reasonably request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable the Investors to sell Registrable Securities without Registration under the Securities Act in transactions that would otherwise be permitted by this Agreement and within the limitation of the exemptions provided by (i) Rule 144, Rule 144A or Regulation S under the Securities Act, as such rules may be amended from time to time, or (ii) any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the SEC. Upon the request of any Investor, the Company will deliver to the Investors a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements and, if not, the specifics thereof.

Section 3.6Notification. As promptly as practicable, each Investor of Registrable Securities shall notify the Company when all of such Investor’s Registrable Securities have been sold.

Section 3.7Existing Registration Statements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary and subject to applicable law and regulation, the Company may satisfy any obligation hereunder to file a Registration Statement or to have a Registration Statement become effective by a specified date by designating, by notice to each Investor, a Registration Statement that previously has been filed with the SEC or become effective, as the case may be, as the relevant Registration Statement for purposes of satisfying such obligation, and all references to any such obligation shall be construed accordingly; provided that such previously filed Registration Statement may be, and is, amended or, subject to applicable securities laws, supplemented to add 

- 15 -ipstewar-152459137.1.doc

the number of Registrable Securities, and, to the extent necessary, to identify the Investors as selling stockholders demanding the filing of a Registration Statement pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. To the extent this Agreement refers to the filing or effectiveness of other Registration Statements, by or at a specified time and the Company has, in lieu of then filing such Registration Statements or having such Registration Statements become effective, designated a previously filed or effective Registration Statement as the relevant Registration Statement for such purposes, in accordance with the preceding sentence, such references shall be construed to refer to such designated Registration Statement, as amended or supplemented in the manner contemplated by the immediately preceding sentence.
