Amendment to Registration Rights Agreement (a) Section 1(a) of the Registration Rights Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety as follows:
AMENDMENT OF REGISTRATION RIGHTS Any provision of this Agreement may be amended and the observance thereof may be waived (either generally or in a particular instance and either retroactively or prospectively), only with the written consent of the Company and Investors who hold a majority in interest of the Registrable Securities. Any amendment or waiver effected in accordance with this Section 10 shall be binding upon each Investor and the Company.
Holders' Compliance with Registration Rights Agreement Each Holder of a Security, by acceptance hereof, acknowledges and agrees to the provisions of the Registration Rights Agreement, including the obligations of the Holders with respect to a registration and the indemnification of the Company to the extent provided therein.
Registration Rights; Private Sales (a) If the Administrative Agent shall determine to exercise its right to sell any or all of the Collateral pursuant to PARAGRAPH 9 hereof, and if in the opinion of the Administrative Agent it is necessary or advisable to have such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, registered under the provisions of the Security Act of 1933, as amended (the "Securities Act"), the Pledgor will use its best efforts to cause the applicable Issuer or Partnership to (i) execute and deliver, and use its best efforts to cause the directors, officers and representatives of the applicable Issuer or Partnership to execute and deliver, all such instruments and documents, and do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, necessary or advisable to register such Collateral, or that portion thereof to be sold, under the provisions of the Securities Act, (ii) to use its best efforts to cause the registration statement relating thereto to become effective and to remain effective for a period of one year from the date of the first public offering of such Collateral or that portion thereof to be sold, and (iii) to make all amendments thereto and/or to the related prospectus which, in the opinion of the Administrative Agent, are necessary or advisable, all in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission applicable thereto. The Pledgor agrees to use its best efforts to cause the applicable Issuer or Partnership to comply with the provisions of the securities or "Blue Sky" laws of any and all jurisdictions which the Administrative Agent shall designate and to make available to its security holders, as soon as practicable, an earnings statement (which need not be audited) which will satisfy the provisions of Section 11(a) of the Securities Act. For the purposes of this SECTION 10.(A), "applicable Issuer or Partnership" shall mean each Issuer or Partnership which is a direct or indirect wholly-owned Subsidiary of the Pledgor.
(b) The Pledgor recognizes that the Administrative Agent may be unable to effect a public sale of any or all the Collateral, by reason of certain prohibitions contained in the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws or otherwise, and may be compelled to resort to one or more private sales thereof to a restricted group of purchasers which will be obliged to agree, among other things, to acquire such securities for their own account for investment and not with a view to the distribution or resale thereof. The Pledgor acknowledges and agrees that any such private sale may result in prices and other terms less favorable than if such sale were a public sale and, notwithstanding such circumstances, agrees that any such private sale shall be deemed to have been made in a commercially reasonable manner. The Administrative Agent shall be under no obligation to delay a sale of any of the Collateral for the period of time necessary to permit the applicable Issuer or Partnership to register such securities for public sale under the Securities Act, or under applicable state securities laws, even if the applicable Issuer or Partnership would agree to do so.
(c) The Pledgor further agrees to use its best efforts to do or cause to be done all such other acts as may be necessary to make such sale or sales of all or any portion of the Collateral pursuant to this PARAGRAPH 10 valid and binding and in compliance with any and all other applicable Laws and applicable requirements of the Insurance Regulators. The Pledgor further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this PARAGRAPH 10 will cause irreparable injury to the Administrative Agent and the Lenders not compensable in damages, that the Administrative Agent and the Lenders have no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this PARAGRAPH 10 shall be specifically enforceable against the Pledgor, and the Pledgor hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants except for a defense that no Event of Default has occurred under the Credit Agreement.
Transfer of Registration Rights (a) A Holder may transfer all or any portion of its rights under this Agreement to any transferee of Registrable Securities that represent (assuming the conversion, exchange or exercise of all Registrable Securities so transferred that are convertible into or exercisable or exchangeable for the Company's Voting Stock) at least 20% of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock of the Company (each, a "Permitted Transferee"); provided, however, that (i) with respect to any transferee of less than a majority but more than 30% of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock, the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement pursuant to a registration request made by such transferee pursuant to Section 2 hereof on more than two occasions, and (ii) with respect to any transferee of 30% or less of the then issued and outstanding Voting Stock, the Company shall not be obligated to file a registration statement pursuant to a registration request made by such transferee pursuant to Section 2 hereof on more than one occasion. No transfer of registration rights pursuant to this Section shall be effective unless the Company has received written notice from the Holder of an intention to transfer at least 20 days prior to the Holder's entering into a binding agreement to transfer Registrable Securities (10 days in the event of an unsolicited offer). Such notice need not contain proposed terms or name a proposed Permitted Transferee. On or before the time of the transfer, the Company shall receive a written notice stating the name and address of any Permitted Transferee and identifying the number and/or aggregate principal amount of Registrable Securities with respect to which the rights under this Agreement are being transferred and the scope of the rights so transferred. In connection with any such transfer, the term Zapaxx xx used in this Agreement (other than in Section 2(a)(iv)) shall, where appropriate to assign the rights and obligations hereunder to such Permitted Transferee, be deemed to refer to the Permitted Transferee of such Registrable Securities. Zapaxx xxx any Permitted Transferees may exercise the registration rights hereunder in such priority, as among themselves, as they shall agree among themselves, and the Company shall observe any such agreements of which it shall have notice as provided above.
(b) After any such transfer, the transferring Holder shall retain its rights under this Agreement with respect to all other Registrable Securities owned by such transferring Holder.
(c) Upon the request of the transferring Holder, the Company shall execute an agreement with a Permitted Transferee substantially similar to this Agreement.
Subsequent Registration Rights Until the Initial Registration Statement required hereunder is declared effective by the Commission, the Company shall not enter into any agreement granting any registration rights with respect to any of its securities to any Person without the written consent of Holders representing no less than a majority of the then outstanding Registrable Securities; provided, that this Section 7(c) shall not prohibit the Company from fulfilling its obligations under any other registration rights agreements existing as of the date hereof.
