the Company post Merger (taking into account any and all shares issued relating

reverse stock split (if any), post initial financing (whether that initial
financing be a single round or in multiple tranches over a period of time), and

shares comprising the Position on that date and shall issue additional shares as
necessary following completion of the Actions.
(iii) The
effective date of all Shares transferred pursuant to this Section 3 shall be the

demand registration rights on such Position at such time. In the event that
Buyer does not provide for the removal of restrictions from the shares
comprising the Position in accordance with Rule 144, does not recognize any

not register such shares, the Company and the Buyer, jointly and severally,
shall pay to Seller liquidated damages in the amount of the bid price per share
as of the one year anniversary of this Agreement (as reported by the national
market on which the shares trade) multiplied by the number of shares in the
Position. The Parties agree that the liquidated damages hereunder are
