The Purchaser shall use its best efforts to file with the SEC, no later than June 30, 2007, an S-1, SB-2 or S-3 registration statement registering for resale all of the Top-Up Shares (the “Top-Up Registration Statement”). The Purchaser shall use its best efforts to cause the Top-Up Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable. The Purchaser shall cause the Seller Registration Statement to remain effective until the date on which the Consideration Shares may be sold by the Sellers pursuant to Rule 144 under the U.S. Securities Act, as amended, or such earlier time as all of the Consideration Shares covered by the Seller Registration Statement have been sold pursuant thereto. The provisions of Sections 17.3 (“Registration Procedures”), 17.4 (“Requirements of Company Stockholders”), 17.5 (“Indemnification”) and 17.6 (“Assignment of Rights”) shall apply equally with respect to the Top-Up Shares and the Top-Up Registration Statement.
