The other positive is that the company is required by the RRA to submit a registration statement (S-1?) for all the current and future shares involved in the agreement before the end of the year.
Since QMC is currently on the OTC, the shares are not registered and the commitment shares will be Restricted per Rule 144 as you pointed out. However, the Registration Rights Agreement is an indication that Lincoln Park wants/expects them to get off of the OTC, so the shares need to be registered.
