Required Registration (a) Any time after the earlier of (i) twelve (12) months following a Qualified Public Offering and (ii) the date that is four (4) years after the date of this Agreement, the holders of at least 66-2/3% of the shares of Preferred Stock then outstanding (or shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion of the shares of Preferred Stock or a combination thereof) may request the Company to register under the Securities Act all or any portion of the shares of Registrable Securities held by such requesting holder or holders for sale in the manner specified in such notice; provided, however, that the shares of Registrable Securities for which registration has been requested shall be at least 20% of the shares of Registrable Securities then held by such requesting holder or holders (or a lesser percentage if the anticipated gross receipts from the offering would exceed $40,000,000).
(b) Following receipt of any notice under this Section 4, the Company shall, within twenty (20) days of receipt thereof, notify all holders of Registrable Securities and Preferred Stock from whom notice has not been received and such holders shall then be entitled within thirty (30) days thereafter to request the Company to include in the requested registration all or any portion of their shares of Registrable Securities. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to register under the Securities Act, for public sale in accordance with the method of disposition described in paragraph (a) above, the number of shares of Registrable Securities specified in such notice (and in all notices received by the Company from other holders within thirty (30) days after the giving of such notice by the Company). The Company shall be obligated to register Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4 on two (2) occasions only; provided, however, that such obligation shall be deemed satisfied only when (i) a registration statement covering all shares (or such lesser number as permitted by Section 4(d) below) of Registrable Securities specified in notices received as aforesaid (and not subsequently withdrawn) for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting holders shall have become effective and remain effective for the period of distribution contemplated thereby (unless such requesting holders request that such registration statement be withdrawn, in which case such obligation of the Company shall be deemed satisfied unless such requesting holders pay all Registration Expenses (as defined in Section 8) incurred in connection with the withdrawn registration statement), and (ii) where such registration statement has become effective, if such method of disposition is a firm commitment underwritten public offering, and all such shares shall have been sold to the underwriters pursuant thereto (not including shares eligible for sale pursuant to the underwriters’ over-allotment option). The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any registration pursuant to this Section 4: (i) during the period within ninety (90) days after the effective date of a registration pursuant to Section 4 or Section 6 hereof, or in which the holders of Registrable Securities shall have been entitled to join pursuant to Section 5; (ii) if the shares of Registrable Securities to be registered may be immediately registered on Form S-3; or (iii) during the period within twelve (12) months after the closing of an initial public offering of Common Stock by the Company.
(c) The Company shall be entitled to include in any registration statement referred to in this Section 4 shares of Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account, except as and to the extent that, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, such inclusion would adversely affect the marketing of the Registrable Securities to be sold. Subject to Section 14(h) and except for registration statements on Form X-0, X-0 or any successor thereto, the Company will not file with the Commission any other registration statement with respect to its Common Stock, whether for its own account or that of other stockholders, from the date of receipt of a notice from requesting holders requesting sale pursuant to an underwritten offering pursuant to this Section 4 until thirty (30) days after the date such registration statement is declared effective. The right of any holder to include such holder’s Registrable Securities in an underwritten registration shall be conditioned upon such holder’s participation in such underwriting and the inclusion of such holder’s Registrable Securities in the underwriting to the extent provided herein. All holders proposing to distribute their securities through such underwriting shall (together with the Company) enter into an underwriting agreement in reasonable and customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such underwriting.
(d) If in the opinion of the managing underwriter the inclusion of all of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered under this Section 4 would adversely affect the marketing of such shares, shares to be sold by the holders of Registrable Securities shall be excluded only after any shares to be sold by the Company and any other parties including shares for sale in such registration have been excluded, in such manner that the shares to be sold shall be allocated among the requesting holders pro rata based on their ownership of Registrable Securities. In the event the number of shares to be sold by requesting holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to an underwritten registration under this Section 4 is reduced pursuant to this Section 4(d), such registration shall still count towards satisfaction of the Company’s obligation to register shares under this Section provided that such registration includes at least 40% of the shares of Registrable Securities so requested to be included by the requesting holders.
Requested Registration Until April 26, 2001 or the date that all of the shares of Xxxxxxx common stock Beneficially Owned by the Shareholders are eligible for sale under Rule 144 of the SEC without any volume limitation, whichever is earlier, subject to the following provisions a Shareholder may request that Xxxxxxx register all or a portion of his Registrable Securities. If Xxxxxxx shall receive a written request from one or more Shareholders that Xxxxxxx effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or a part of such Shareholders' Registrable Securities, then Xxxxxxx will, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, give notice to all other Shareholders of the receipt of such request and each such holder may elect by written notice received by Xxxxxxx within ten (10) days from the date of the notice by Xxxxxxx to have all or part of his Registrable Securities included in such registration. Upon receipt of such notice, Xxxxxxx will, as soon as practicable, use reasonable efforts to effect the registration on Form S-3 and pursuant to Rule 415 (the "Resale Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which it has been so requested to register covering resales from time to time of such Registrable Securities and Xxxxxxx shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter; and (ii) maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement continuously until the earliest of: (A) the date on which the Shareholders no longer hold Registrable Securities registered under the Resale Registration Statement or (B) the third anniversary of this Shareholder Agreement or such lesser time as may be permitted under Rule 144 under the Securities Act to enable the Shareholders to sell the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act without such registration. Xxxxxxx: (i) shall not be obligated to cause any special audit to be undertaken in connection with any such registration; (ii) shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of ninety (90) days, the filing of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared pursuant to this section if Xxxxxxx is, at such time, conducting or about to conduct an underwritten public offering of Equity Securities (or securities convertible into Equity Securities) and is advised in writing by its managing underwriter that such underwritten public offer would, in its opinion, be adversely effected by the registration so requested; and (iii) shall be entitled to postpone such requested registration for up to ninety (90) days if Xxxxxxx determines, in view of the advisability of deferring public disclosure of material corporate developments or other information, that such registration and the disclosure required to be made pursuant thereto would not be in the best interest of Xxxxxxx at such time.
Required Registrations At any time or times after the date hereof (so long as IXC shall own Registrable Securities which are not eligible for sale by IXC under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act), IXC may notify the Company in writing that it (i) intends to offer or cause to be offered for public sale all or any portion of its Registrable Securities (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition of such shares by IXC) and (ii) request that the Company cause such Registrable Securities to be registered under the Securities Act; provided, however, that IXC may make only three requests for registration under this Section 2.2. Upon receipt of such notification, subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the Company will notify all of the Persons who would be entitled to notice of a proposed registration under Existing Registration Rights or Other Registration Rights of its receipt of such notification. Upon the written request of any such Person delivered to the Company within 30 days after receipt from the Company of such notification, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities as may be requested by IXC or such securities as may be requested by any such Person to be registered under the Securities Act within 125 days of the notification by IXC, in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2; provided, however, that unless such registration becomes effective and remains in effect for 60 days, such registration shall not be counted as one of the three requests for registration that may be made by IXC under this Section 2.2. IXC shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) (which shall be of national standing and reputation) to administer any underwritten public offering under this Section 2.2, subject to the execution and delivery by such investment banker(s) to the Company of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company. If requested in writing by the Company, IXC and the other Persons participating in a registration under this Section 2.2 shall negotiate in good faith with any underwriters retained in connection with the underwriting of such registration. In the case of the registration of Registrable Securities in connection with an underwritten public offering under this Section 2.2, if the underwriter determines that the registration of securities in excess of an amount determined by such underwriter would adversely affect such offering, then the Company may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) exclude from such registration and underwriting some or all of the Registrable Securities and other securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant to this Section 2.2. The Company shall advise IXC and the other Persons who requested to participate in such registration promptly after such determination by the underwriter, and the number of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the number of securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among IXC and such other Persons requesting that Registrable Securities or other securities be included in such registration and underwriting in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to their respective holdings of Registrable Securities and other securities; provided, however, that if the number of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration shall be reduced to a number which is less than 80% of the number of Registrable Securities as to which IXC requested registration pursuant to this Section 2.2, then such registration shall not be counted as one of the three requests for registration that may be made by IXC under this Section 2.2. All expenses of such registration and offering and the reasonable fees and expenses of one independent counsel for IXC and the other Persons who requested to participate in such registration shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall have no liability for such expenses if such registration does not become effective due solely to the action or failure to act of IXC and (ii) IXC and other Persons who requested to participate in such registration shall bear underwriting and selling discounts and commissions attributable to their Registrable Securities or other securities being registered and transfer taxes on shares being sold by them. The Company may postpone the filing of any registration statement required hereunder for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 90 days during any 12 month period of time, if the Company has been advised by legal counsel that such filing would require the disclosure of a material transaction or other matter and the Company determines reasonably and in good faith that such disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under this Section 2.2 more than 135 days following the end of the Company's fiscal year, if such registration shall require the preparation of audited financial statements for any interim period not otherwise prepared by the Company. If a demand registration is requested during such period, subject to the second preceding sentence, the Company will commence such registration promptly following the end of the next fiscal year. The Company will enter into customary agreements (including underwriting agreements) reasonably acceptable to the Company to facilitate the demand registrations provided for above.
Demand Registration (a) After receipt of a written request from one or more New Holders requesting that the Company effect a registration (a "Demand Registration") under the Securities Act covering all or part of the Registrable Securities which specifies the intended method or methods of disposition thereof and the number of shares to be registered, the Company shall promptly notify all Holders in writing of the receipt of such request and each such Holder, in lieu of exercising its rights under Section 4 hereof, may elect (by written notice sent to the Company within ten (10) Business Days from the date of such Holder's receipt of the aforementioned notice from the Company) to have all or part of such Holder's Registrable Securities included in such registration thereof pursuant to this Section 3, and such Holder shall specify in such notice the number of Registrable Securities that such Holder elects to include in such registration. Thereupon, the Company shall, as expeditiously as is practicable, but in any event no later than thirty (30) days (excluding any days which occur during a permitted Blackout Period under Section 6 below) after receipt of a written request for a Demand Registration, file with the SEC and use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be declared effective a registration statement (a "Demand Registration Statement") relating to all shares of Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by such Holders ("Participating Demand Holders") for sale, to the extent required to permit the disposition (in accordance with the intended method or methods thereof, as aforesaid) of the Registrable Securities so registered; provided, however, that the aggregate value of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered (i) be at least $2,500,000, based on the closing trading price of the Common Stock on the date the demand to file such Demand Registration Statement is made, (ii) be at least 25% of the New Registrable Securities initially issuable upon exercise of the Warrants or (iii) include all Registrable Securities which remain outstanding at such time.
(b) If the majority-in-interest of the Participating Demand Holders in a Demand Registration relating to a public offering requests that the offering be underwritten with a managing underwriter selected in the manner set forth in Section 14 below and such managing underwriter of such Demand Registration advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities to be included in such offering is greater than the total number of securities which can be sold therein without having a material adverse effect on the distribution of such securities or otherwise having a material adverse effect on the marketability thereof (the "Maximum Number of Securities"), then the Company shall include in such Demand Registration the Registrable Securities that the Participating Demand Holders have requested to be registered thereunder only to the extent the number of such Registrable Securities does not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities. If such amount exceeds the Maximum Number of Securities, the number of Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration shall be allocated first, among all the New Holders participating in such Demand Registration on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by each New Holder), and, second, to the Existing Holders on a pro rata basis (based on the number of Registrable Securities requested to be included in such Demand Registration by each Existing Holder); provided, however, that in no event may Registrable Securities held by the Existing Holders be included in such Demand Registration unless all of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in the Demand Registration by the New Holders are included in such Demand Registration. If the amount of such Registrable Securities does not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities, the Company may include in such Demand Registration any other securities of the Company and other securities held by other security holders of the Company as the Company may in its discretion determine or be obligated to allow, in an amount, which together with the Registrable Securities included in such Demand Registration, shall not exceed the Maximum Number of Securities.
(c) New Holders shall be entitled to an aggregate of four (4) registrations of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 3 (each, a "Demand for Registration") in addition to the Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to Section 2; provided that a registration requested pursuant to this Section 3 shall not be deemed to have been effected for purposes of this Section 3(c) unless (i) it has been declared effective by the SEC, (ii) it has remained effective for the period set forth in Section 7(a), (iii) Holders of Registrable Securities included in such registration have not, prior to the filing of the relevant Demand Registration Statement, withdrawn sufficient shares from such registration such that the remaining Holders requesting registration would not have been able to request registration under the provisions of Section 3, and (iv) the offering of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration is not subject to any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the SEC (other than any such stop order, injunction, or other order or requirement of the SEC prompted by act or omission of Holders of Registrable Securities); provided, however, that if the New Holders participating in such Demand Registration are not able to register and sell at least two-thirds of the New Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Demand Registration, then such Demand Registration shall not be counted as one of the five Demands for Registration provided for pursuant to this Section 3(c).
(d) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company shall not be required to prepare and file (i) more than two (2) Demand Registration Statements in any twelve-month period, (ii) any Demand Registration Statement within 90 days following the date of effectiveness of any other Registration Statement or (iii) any Demand Registration Statement within 90 days following the date of effectiveness of any other registration statement filed pursuant to any other registration rights agreement to which the Company is a party or with respect to the sale of Common Stock by the Company (or such longer period of time as may be specified in an underwriting agreement relating to such registration statement).
Effective Demand Registration The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Demand Registration to be filed not later than thirty (30) days after it receives a request under Section 3(a) hereof and to become and remain effective as soon as practicable thereafter but, in any event, not later than ninety (90) days (or, if the Company is eligible to effect such registration on Form S-3, sixty (60) days) after such filing. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration unless it has become effective and remains continuously effective until the earlier of the date (i) on which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold and (ii) that is the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration; provided, however, that a registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration if (x) after such Demand Registration has become effective, such registration or the related offer, sale or distribution of Registrable Securities thereunder is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental agency or court for any reason not attributable to the Initiating Holders and such interference is not thereafter eliminated or (y) the conditions specified in the underwriting agreement, if any, entered into in connection with such Demand Registration are not satisfied or waived, other than by reason of a failure by the Initiating Holder.
NERC Registration The NTO shall register or enter into agreement with a NERC registered entity for all required NERC functions applicable to the NTO, that may include, without limitation, those functions designated by NERC to be: “Transmission Owner” and “Transmission Planner” and “Transmission Operator.” The Parties agree to negotiate in good faith the compliance obligations for the NERC functions applicable to, and to be performed by, each Party with respect to the NTO’s facilities. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the ISO shall register for the “Transmission Operator” function for all NTO Transmission Facilities under ISO Operational Control identified in Appendix A-1 of this Agreement.
Number of Demand Registrations The Holder will be entitled to request one Demand Registration pursuant to which the Registrable Securities shall be registered and in which the Company will pay all Registration Expenses. A registration will not count as the Demand Registration (i) until it has become effective (unless such Demand Registration has not become effective due solely to the fault of the holder requesting such registration) and (ii) unless the holder of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (unless such holder is not so able to register such amount of the Registrable Securities due solely to the fault of such holder) are included; provided, however, that in any event the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Demand Registration subject to this Section 1.2.
Form S-3 Registration In case the Company shall receive from Preferred Stock Holders a written request that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3, subject to the limitations and qualifications set forth in Section 3.4(b), and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Preferred Stock Holder or Preferred Stock Holders, the Company agrees:
(a) to promptly give written notice of the proposed registration, and any related qualification or compliance, to all other Holders; and
(b) as soon as practicable after receiving such a request, to effect such registration and all such qualifications and compliances as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Preferred Stock Holders’ Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any other Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request given within fifteen (15) days after receipt of such written notice from the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such registration, qualification, or compliance pursuant to this Section 3.4 if (i) Form S-3 is not available for such offering by the Holders; (ii) the Holders, together with the holders of any other securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such registration, propose to sell Registrable Securities and such other securities (if any) at an aggregate price to the public of less than $2,000,000; (iii) the Company furnishes to the Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that in the good faith judgment of the Board of Directors of the Company, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company and its stockholders for such Form S-3 registration to be effected at such time, in which event the Company shall have the right to defer the filing of the Form S-3 registration statement for a period of not more than sixty (60) days after receipt of the request of the Preferred Stock Holders under this Section 3.4, provided, however, that the Company shall not utilize this right more than once in any eighteen (18) month period; or (iv) the Company has effected two (2) registrations on Form S-3 (or its then equivalent) pursuant to this Section 3.4 during such calendar year and such registrations have been declared or ordered effective and the sales of Registrable Securities under such registration statement have closed.
(c) Registrations effected pursuant to this Section 3.4 shall not be counted as demands for registration or registrations effected pursuant to Sections 3.2 or 3.3.
Not Demand Registration Registration pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 2.3 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.4.
