REGISTRATION RIGHTS

Section 2.1 Resale Registration.

(a) The Purchaser Parent agrees that, no later than fifteen (15) days following the date hereof (the "Filing Deadline"), the Purchaser Parent will file with the Commission a registration statement on Form F-10 or Form F-3, at the option of the Purchaser Parent, or in the event that neither form  is  available, the Purchaser Parent shall file with the Commission a registration on such other form as is available to it (the "Resale Registration Statement"), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities and the Purchaser Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as soon as reasonably practicable after the filing thereof but, in any event, no later than the earliest of (a) the 90th day after the filing date if the Commission notifies the Purchaser Parent that it will "review" the Resale Registration Statement and (b) the fifth Business Day after the date the Purchaser Parent is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Resale Registration Statement will not be "reviewed" or will not be subject to further review.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at the time the Purchaser Parent files the Resale Registration Statement, the Commission is not then currently reviewing certain filings by issuers, including the Resale Registration Statement, due to a shutdown of the federal government or otherwise, then the Purchaser Parent shall not include delaying amendment language in such filing of the Resale Registration Statement such that the Resale Registration Statement shall become effective in accordance with Section 8(a) of the Securities Act within twenty (20) calendar days of such filing. The Purchaser Parent shall take all actions reasonably necessary to maintain the continuous effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement thereafter in accordance with this Section 2.1(a). The Purchaser Parent shall incorporate, if applicable, the language provided by Rule 473(b) of the U.S. Securities Act for the automatic effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement twenty (20) calendar days following filing of an amendment to the Resale Registration Statement.  The Purchaser Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement for the resale of the Registrable Securities for so long as the Holders hold any of the Registrable Securities or until this Agreement is terminated in accordance with its terms; provided, however, that if such Filing Deadline falls on a Saturday, Sunday, or other day that the Commission is closed for business, the Filing Deadline will be automatically extended to the next Business Day on which the Commission is open for business. The Purchaser Parent's obligation to include the Registrable Securities of any Holder in the Resale Registration Statement is contingent upon such Holder's compliance with its obligations pursuant to the last paragraph of Section 2.4 and is otherwise subject to the limitations set forth herein.


(b) The rights granted in Sections 2.1(a) to the Holders are subject to the following limitations:

(i) if any registration of Registrable Securities would require disclosure of information not otherwise then required by law to be publicly disclosed and, in the good faith judgment of the board of directors of the Purchaser Parent, such disclosure is reasonably likely to adversely affect any material financing, acquisition, corporate reorganization or merger or other material transaction or event involving the Purchaser Parent or otherwise have a material adverse effect on the Purchaser Parent (a "Valid Business Reason"), the Purchaser Parent may postpone or withdraw a filing of any registration statement or prospectus supplement filed pursuant to this Agreement (including the Resale Registration Statement) or the filing of any supplement or post-effective amendment relating thereto, in any case, until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists; provided, that in no event shall the Purchaser Parent avail itself of such right for more than 45 days, in the aggregate, in any period of 365 consecutive days and the Purchaser Parent shall give notice to the Holders of its determination to postpone or withdraw such registration statement or the filing of any related supplement or post-effective amendment and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement or withdrawal no longer exists, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof.

If the Purchaser Parent shall have withdrawn or prematurely terminated the Resale Registration Statement filed under Section 2.1(a), the Purchaser Parent shall not be considered to have effected an effective registration for the purposes of this Agreement until the Purchaser Parent shall have filed a new registration statement (or prospectus supplement) covering the Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn registration statement and such registration statement shall have been declared effective and shall not have been withdrawn or a new prospectus supplement covering the Registrable Securities shall have been filed. If the Purchaser Parent shall give any notice of withdrawal or postponement of a registration statement or the filing of a supplement or post-effective amendment of the Resale Registration Statement pursuant to clause (i) above, at such time as the Valid Business Reason that caused such withdrawal or postponement no longer exists (but in no event more than 90 days after the date of the postponement or withdrawal), the Purchaser Parent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect the registration under the U.S. Securities Act of the Registrable Securities covered by the withdrawn or postponed registration statement in accordance with this Section 2.1.


(c) The Purchaser Parent, subject to Section 2.3 and Section 2.7, may elect to include in any registration statement and offering made pursuant to Section 2.1(a) (i) authorized but unissued Shares or Shares held by the Purchaser Parent as treasury shares and/or (ii) any other Shares that are requested to be included in such registration pursuant to the exercise of piggyback rights granted by the Purchaser Parent that are not inconsistent with the rights granted in, or otherwise conflict with the terms of, this Agreement ("Additional Piggyback Rights"); provided, however, that such inclusion shall be permitted only to the extent that it is pursuant to and subject to the terms of the underwriting agreement or arrangements entered into by the Participating Holders.

Section 2.2 Piggyback Registrations

(a) If, at any time during the term of this Agreement, the Purchaser Parent proposes to register any of its equity securities under the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to a firm-commitment underwritten public offering with Shares being offered and sold by the Purchaser Parent (other than pursuant to (i) a registration on Form F-4 or Form F-8 or any successor or similar form which is then in effect, (ii) an equity ATM program or equity line of credit or similar equity financing program or (iii) an offering of debt that is convertible into equity securities of the Purchaser Parent, the Purchaser Parent shall give prompt written notice of its intention to do so to each Holder of record of Registrable Securities. Upon the written request of any such Holder, made within five (5) days following the receipt of any such written notice (which request shall specify the maximum number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder), the Purchaser Parent, subject to Section 2.2(b), Section 2.3 and Section 2.7, shall use commercially reasonable efforts, subject to any underwriter or agent cutbacks, to cause all such Registrable Securities that are not otherwise registered in accordance with Section 2.1(a) to be included in the registration statement with the securities that the Purchaser Parent at the time proposes to register to permit the sale or other disposition by such Holders in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof of the Registrable Securities to be so registered.

(b) If, at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register a primary offering of equity securities and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration or the filing of a final prospectus supplement related to such offering, the Purchaser Parent shall determine for any reason not to register or to delay registration of such equity securities or not to proceed with the underwritten offering, the Purchaser Parent will give written notice of such determination to each Holder of record of Registrable Securities and (i) in the case of a determination not to register, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such abandoned registration, without prejudice, or (ii) in the case of a determination to delay such registration of its equity securities pursuant to Section 2.1(c)(i), shall be permitted to delay the registration of such Registrable Securities for the same period as the delay in registering such other equity securities.

(c) Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement (or prospectus supplement) or underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving written notice to the Purchaser Parent of its request to withdraw. Such request must be made in writing prior to the earlier of the execution of the underwriting agreement or the execution of the custody agreement with respect to such registration. Such withdrawal shall be irrevocable and, after making such withdrawal, a Holder shall no longer have any right to include Registrable Securities in the registration as to which such withdrawal was made.


(d) Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, no Holder shall have any right to include any Registrable Securities in any offering by the Purchaser Parent of Shares executed pursuant to any "at the market" program, equity line of credit facility or similar equity financing programs that the Purchaser Parent may have in effect from time to time on or after the date of this Agreement.

Section 2.3 Priority in Registrations.

(a) If any registration pursuant to Section 2.2 involves a firm commitment underwritten offering that was proposed by the Purchaser Parent, one or more Holders seeks to exercise piggyback rights with respect to such offering and the managing underwriter of such offering shall advise the Purchaser Parent that, in its view, the number of securities requested to be included in such registration exceeds the number (the "Section 2.3(a) Sale Number") that can be sold in an orderly manner in such registration within a price range acceptable to the Purchaser Parent, the Purchaser Parent shall include in such registration:

(i) first, all Shares that the Purchaser Parent proposes to register for its own account; and

(ii) second, to the extent that the number of securities to be included pursuant to clause (i) of this Section 2.3(a) is less than the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number, the remaining shares to be included in such registration shall be allocated on a pro rata basis among (i) all holders requesting that Registrable Securities or Piggyback Shares be included in such registration pursuant to the exercise of piggyback rights pursuant to Section 2.2 of this Agreement, and (ii) holders of  Additional Piggyback Rights, based on the aggregate number of Registrable Securities and Piggyback Shares then owned by each holder requesting inclusion in relation to the aggregate number of Registrable Securities and Piggyback Shares owned by all holders requesting inclusion, up to the Section 2.3(a) Sale Number.

Section 2.4 Registration ProceduresWhenever the Purchaser Parent is required by the provisions of this Agreement to use its commercially reasonable efforts to effect or cause the registration of any Registrable Securities under the U.S. Securities Act as provided in this Agreement, the Purchaser Parent, as expeditiously as possible:

(a) shall prepare and file with the Commission the requisite registration statement, which shall comply as to form in all material respects with the requirements of the applicable form and shall include all financial statements required by the Commission to be filed therewith, use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective, and use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such registration statement to remain effective (i) in the case of a registration on Form F-1 or any successor form thereto, until such time as the registration statement may be replaced by a registration on Form F-3 or Form F-10 (or such shorter period which will terminate when all of the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto or may otherwise be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without regard to Rule 144(i)) or (ii) in the case of a registration on Form F-3 or Form F-10 or any successor form thereto, until the earlier to occur of (A) such time as there are no Registrable Securities remaining outstanding,  (B) such time as all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement have been sold pursuant thereto, and (C) or may be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without regard to Rule 144(i) (provided, however, that before filing the Resale Registration Statement  , or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus related thereto, the Purchaser Parent will furnish to one counsel for the Participating Holders (selected by the Majority Participating Holders) copies of all such documents proposed to be filed (including all exhibits thereto), which documents will be subject to the reasonable review and reasonable comment of such counsel, and the Purchaser Parent shall not file any Resale Registration Statement, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus related thereto, to which the Majority Participating Holders shall reasonably object; provided, further, however, that the Purchaser Parent shall not have any obligation to modify any information if the Purchaser Parent expects that so doing would cause the registration statement or amendment thereto, any prospectus or supplement thereto or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus related thereto, to contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state any material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading);


(b) shall prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to such registration statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such registration statement effective for such period as set forth in clause (a) above, and to comply with the provisions of the U.S. Securities Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement in accordance with the intended methods of disposition by the Participating Holders thereof set forth in such registration statement;

(d) shall use commercially reasonable efforts to register or qualify the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement under such other securities or "blue sky" laws of such jurisdictions as any Participating Holder reasonably shall request, and do any and all other acts and things that may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable such Participating Holder to consummate the disposition of the Registrable Securities in such jurisdictions, except that in no event shall the Purchaser Parent be required (i) to qualify to do business as a foreign corporation in any jurisdiction where, but for the requirements of this Section 2.4(d), it would not be required to be so qualified, (ii) to subject itself to taxation in any such jurisdiction, if it is not otherwise so subject or (iii) to consent to general service of process in any such jurisdiction;

(e) shall promptly notify each Participating Holder:

(ii) of any request by the Commission or state securities authority for amendments or supplements to any such registration statements or the applicable prospectus related thereto or for additional information;

(iii) of the issuance by the Commission of any stop order suspending the effectiveness of any such registration statement or the initiation of any proceedings for that purpose;

(vi) if at any time the representations and warranties contemplated by the underwriting agreement relating to an offering made in accordance with the terms of this Agreement shall cease to be true and correct in all material respects; and, if the notification relates to an event described in clause (v), the Purchaser Parent promptly shall prepare and file with the Commission, and furnish to each seller a reasonable number of copies of, a prospectus supplemented or amended 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

(l) shall not take any direct or indirect action prohibited by Regulation M under the Exchange Act; provided, however, that to the extent that any prohibition thereunder is applicable to the Purchaser Parent, the Purchaser Parent will take such action as is necessary to make any such prohibition inapplicable; and

In the event the Purchaser Parent shall give any such notice, the applicable period set forth in Section 2.4(b) shall be extended by the number of days during such period from and including the date of the giving of such notice to and including the date when each Participating Holder shall have received the copies of the supplemented or amended prospectus.

(a) In the event of any registration of any securities of the Purchaser Parent under the U.S. Securities Act pursuant to this Article II, the Purchaser Parent will, and hereby agrees to, indemnify and hold harmless, to the fullest extent permitted by law, each Holder, its directors, officers, fiduciaries, employees, agents, Affiliates, consultants, representatives, general and limited partners, stockholders, successors, assigns (and the directors, officers, employees and stockholders thereof), and each other Person, if any, who controls such Holder within the meaning of the Securities Act, from and against any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several, actions or proceedings (whether commenced or threatened) and expenses (including reasonable fees of counsel and any amounts paid in any settlement effected with the Purchaser Parent's consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to which each such indemnified party may become subject under the Securities Act or otherwise in respect thereof (collectively, "Losses"), insofar as such Losses arise out of or are based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact necessary to be stated or necessary in order to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading, in any registration statement under which such securities were registered under the Securities Act, or amendment thereof or supplement thereto, or in any preliminary, final or summary prospectus or any amendment or supplement thereto, together with the documents incorporated by reference therein, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus utilized in connection therewith, and the Purchaser Parent will reimburse any such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with% investigating or defending any such Loss as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the Purchaser Parent shall not be liable to any such indemnified party in any such case to the extent such Loss arises out of or is based upon any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission of a material fact made in such registration statement or amendment thereof or supplement thereto or in any such prospectus or any preliminary, final or summary prospectus or Issuer Free Writing Prospectus in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Purchaser Parent by or on behalf of any indemnified party specifically for use therein that has not been corrected in a subsequent writing at least one business day prior to the sale of Registrable Securities to the person assessing such claim. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.


(b) Each Holder whose Registrable Securities are included in the securities as to which any registration under Section 2.1 or Section 2.2 is being effected shall, severally and not jointly, indemnify and hold harmless (in the same manner and to the same extent as set forth in paragraph (a) of this Section 2.10), to the fullest extent permitted by law, the Purchaser Parent, its officers and directors, each Person controlling the Purchaser Parent within the meaning of the Securities Act and all other prospective sellers and their respective directors, officers, fiduciaries, employees, agents, Affiliates, consultants, representatives, general and limited partners, stockholders, successors, assigns and respective controlling Persons from and against any Loss with respect to any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact in, or omission or alleged omission of any material fact from, such registration statement, any preliminary, final or summary prospectus contained therein, or any amendment or supplement thereto, or any Issuer Free Writing Prospectus utilized in connection therewith, if such statement or alleged statement or omission or alleged omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Purchaser Parent or its representatives by or on behalf of such Holder specifically for use therein and reimburse such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss as such expenses are incurred; provided, however, that the aggregate amount that any such Holder shall be required to pay pursuant to this Section 2.10 (including pursuant to paragraphs (c) and (d) below) shall in no case be greater than the amount of the net proceeds received by such Holder upon the sale of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the registration statement giving rise to such claim. Such indemnity and reimbursement of expenses shall remain in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made by or on behalf of such indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of such securities by such Holder.

(c) Any Person entitled to indemnification under this Agreement promptly shall notify the indemnifying party in writing of the commencement of any action or proceeding with respect to which a claim for indemnification may be made pursuant to this Section 2.10, but the failure of any such Person to provide such notice shall not relieve the indemnifying party of its obligations under the preceding paragraphs of this Section 2.10, except to the extent the indemnifying party is materially prejudiced thereby, and shall not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability that it may have to any such Person otherwise than under this Article II. In case any action or proceeding is brought against an indemnified party and it shall notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate therein and, unless in the reasonable opinion of outside counsel to the indemnified party a conflict of interest between such indemnified and indemnifying parties may exist in respect of such claim, to assume the defense thereof jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, to the extent that it chooses, with counsel reasonably satisfactory to such indemnified party, and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party that it so chooses, the indemnifying party shall not be liable to such indemnified party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that (i) if the indemnifying party fails to take commercially reasonable steps necessary to defend diligently the action or proceeding within twenty (20) days after receiving notice from such indemnified party, (ii) if such indemnified party who is a defendant in any action or proceeding that is also brought against the indemnifying party reasonably shall have concluded that there may be one or more legal defenses available to such indemnified party that are not available to the indemnifying party or (iii) if representation of both parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct, then, in any such case, the indemnified party shall have the right to assume or continue its own defense as set forth above (but with no more than one firm of counsel for all indemnified parties in each jurisdiction, except to the extent any indemnified party or parties reasonably shall have concluded that there may be legal defenses available to such party or parties that are not available to the other indemnified parties or to the extent representation of all indemnified parties by the same counsel is otherwise inappropriate under applicable standards of professional conduct) and the indemnifying party shall be liable for any expenses therefor. Without the written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, no indemnifying party shall effect the settlement or compromise of, or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to, any pending or threatened action or claim in respect of which indemnification or contribution may be sought hereunder, whether or not the indemnified party is an actual or potential party to such action or claim, unless such settlement, compromise or judgment (A) includes an unconditional release of the indemnified party from all liability arising out of such action or claim and (B) does not include a statement as to or an admission of fault, culpability or a failure to act, by or on behalf of any indemnified party.


(d) If for any reason the foregoing indemnity is unavailable or is insufficient to hold harmless an indemnified party under Section 2.10(a), (b) or (c), then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party as a result of any Loss in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect the relative fault of the indemnifying party, on the one hand, and the indemnified party, on the other hand, with respect to such offering of securities. The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the 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 the indemnified party and the parties' relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such untrue statement or omission. If, however, the allocation provided in the second preceding sentence is not permitted by applicable law, then each indemnifying party shall contribute to the amount paid or payable by such indemnified party in such proportion as is appropriate to reflect not only such relative faults but also the relative benefits of the indemnifying party and the indemnified party as well as any other relevant equitable considerations. The parties hereto agree that it would not be just and equitable if contributions pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) were to be determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in the preceding sentences of this Section 2.10(d). The amount paid or payable in respect of any Loss shall be deemed to include any legal or other third party expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such Loss. 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. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.10(d) to the contrary, no indemnifying party other than the Purchaser Parent shall be required pursuant to this Section 2.10(d) to contribute any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such indemnifying party from the sale of Registrable Securities in the offering to which the Losses of the indemnified parties relate, less the amount of any indemnification payment made by such indemnifying party pursuant to Section 2.10(b) and Section 2.10(c).


(e) The indemnity and contribution agreements contained herein shall be in addition to any other rights to indemnification or contribution which any indemnified party may have pursuant to law or contract and shall remain operative and in full force and effect regardless of any investigation made or omitted by or on behalf of any indemnified party and shall survive the transfer of the Registrable Securities by any such party.

(f) The indemnification and contribution required by this Section 2.10 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of the investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expense, loss, damage or liability is incurred.

ARTICLE III
GENERAL

Section 3.1 Rule 144.  The Purchaser Parent covenants that (a) so long as it remains subject to the reporting provisions of the Exchange Act, it will timely file the reports required to be filed by it under the Securities Act or the Exchange Act or, if it is not required to file such reports, upon the request of any Holder it shall make publicly available other information so long as necessary to permit sales of such Registrable Securities in compliance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act and (b) it will take such further action as any Holder reasonably may request, all to the extent required from time to time to enable such Holder to sell Registrable Securities without registration under the Securities Act within the limitation of the exemptions provided by Rule 144 under the Securities Act, as such Rule may be amended from time to time, or any similar rule or regulation hereafter adopted by the Commission. Upon the reasonable request of any Holder in connection with the sale by such Holder of Registrable Securities without registration, the Purchaser Parent will deliver to such Holder a written statement as to whether it has complied with such requirements.

Section 3.2 Nominees for Beneficial Owners.  If Registrable Securities are held by a nominee for the beneficial owner thereof, the beneficial owner thereof may, at its option, be treated as the Holder of such Registrable Securities for purposes of any request or other action by any Holder or Holders pursuant to this Agreement or any determination of any number or percentage of shares constituting Registrable Securities held by any Holder or Holders contemplated by this Agreement; provided, that the Purchaser Parent shall have received assurances reasonably satisfactory to it of such beneficial ownership.

Section 3.3 No Inconsistent Agreements.  The rights granted to the Holders hereunder do not in any way conflict with and are not inconsistent with any other agreements to which the Purchaser Parent is a party or by which it is bound. Without the prior written consent of Holders of a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, the Purchaser Parent will not enter into any agreement with respect to its securities that is inconsistent with the rights granted in this Agreement or otherwise conflicts with the provisions hereof, other than any lock-up agreement with the underwriters in connection with any registered offering effected hereunder, pursuant to which the Purchaser Parent shall agree not to register for sale, and the Purchaser Parent shall agree not to sell or otherwise dispose of, Shares or any securities convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for Shares, for a specified period following the registered offering.


ARTICLE IV
MISCELLANEOUS

Section 4.1 Amendment and Waiver.

(a) Any provision of this Agreement may be amended or waived if, and only if, such amendment or waiver is in writing and is signed, in the case of an amendment, by the Purchaser Parent and the Holders holding a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities or, in the case of a waiver, by the party or parties against whom the waiver is to be effective, in an instrument specifically designated as an amendment or waiver hereto; provided, however, that waiver by the Holders shall require the consent of the Holders holding a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities.

(b) No failure or delay of any party in exercising any right or remedy hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right or power, or any abandonment or discontinuance of steps to enforce such right or power, or any course of conduct, preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right or power. The rights and remedies of the parties hereunder are cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights or remedies which they would otherwise have hereunder. The failure of the Purchaser Parent to cause the Resale Registration Statement to become effective and to remain effective as provided herein shall not convey to the Holder(s) any rights to the recovery of monetary and/or liquidated damages.
