Required Registration (a) At any time after the date which is six (6) months from the date of this Agreement, any two (2) of the three (3) holders of Restricted Stock acting together as a group may request on two (2) separate occasions the Company to register under the Securities Act all or any portion of the shares of Restricted Stock held by such requesting holders for sale in the manner specified in such notice, provided that the shares of Restricted Stock for which registration has been requested shall constitute at least the lesser of (i) 50% of the total shares of Restricted Stock originally issued to such holders, or (ii) the remaining shares of Restricted Stock held by such holders, but in any event not less than 1,500,000 shares of Restricted Stock. For purposes of this Section 4 and Sections 5, 12(a) and 12(d), the term "Restricted Stock" shall be deemed to include the number of shares of Restricted Stock which would be issuable to a holder of Preferred Shares upon conversion of all shares of Preferred Stock held by such holder at such time and the number of shares of Restricted Stock which would be issuable to a holder of Warrants upon exercise of all Warrants held by such holder at such time, provided, however, that the only securities which the Company shall be required to register pursuant hereto shall be shares of Common Stock, and provided, further, however, that, in any underwritten public offering contemplated by this Section 4 or Section 5, the holders of Preferred Shares and Warrants shall be entitled to sell such Preferred Shares and Warrants to the underwriters for conversion or exercise, respectively, and sale of the shares of Common Stock issued upon conversion thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, no request may be made under this Section 4 within 180 days after the effective date of a registration statement filed by the Company covering a firm commitment underwritten public offering in which the holders of Restricted Stock shall have been entitled to join pursuant to Section 5 and in which there shall have been effectively registered at least fifty percent (50%) of the shares of Restricted Stock as to which registration shall have been requested.
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.
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.
Demand Registration (a) Subject to the provisions hereof, at any time on or after the date that is 180 days after the Closing Date, the Holders of a majority of Registrable Securities shall have the right to require the Company to file a Registration Statement registering for sale all or part of their respective Registrable Securities under the Securities Act (a “Demand Registration”) by delivering a written request therefor to the Company (i) specifying the number of Registrable Securities to be included in such registration by such Holder or Holders, (ii) specifying whether the intended method of disposition thereof is pursuant to an Underwritten Offering (as defined below), and (iii) containing all information about such Holder required to be included in such Registration Statement in accordance with applicable Law. As soon as practicable after the receipt of such demand, the Company shall (x) promptly notify all Holders from whom the request for registration has not been received and (y) use reasonable best efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities Laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) of the Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register; provided, however, that (i) the Holders shall not make a request for a Demand Registration under this Section 3.2(a) for Registrable Securities having an anticipated aggregate offering price of less than $5,000,000, (ii) the Holders will not be entitled to require the Company to effect more than three (3) Demand Registrations in the aggregate under this Agreement, and (iii) the Company will not be obligated to effect more than one (1) Demand Registration in any six (6) month period.
Piggy Back Registration If at any time the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act with respect to an offering by the Company for its own account or for the account of any of its respective security holders (other than (x) a Registration Statement on Form S-8 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission), (y) a Registration Statement on Form S-4 (or any substitute form that may be adopted by the Commission); provided that such Registration Statement on Form S-4 does not include any securities other than the securities to be issued by the Company in connection with a transaction that is referenced in clauses (1) through (3) of the General Instructions A.1. of Form S-4 (as such General Instructions are currently in effect), or (z) a Registration Statement pursuant to a Demand Registration pursuant to Section 2.1), then the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the Holders as soon as practicable (but in no event less than 30 days before the anticipated filing date), and such notice shall offer such Holders the opportunity to register such number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder and the intended method(s) of distribution thereof and shall also state the firm intent of the Holder to offer Registrable Securities for sale) (a "Piggy-Back Registration"). The Company shall use all reasonable efforts to cause the managing Underwriter or Underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Registrable Securities requested to be included in a Piggy-Back Registration to be included on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company or any other security holder included therein and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Registrable Securities in accordance with the intended method of distribution thereof. Any Holder shall have the right to withdraw its request for inclusion of its Registrable Securities in any Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.2 by giving written notice to the Company of its request to withdraw, provided that in the event of such withdrawal (other than pursuant to Section 2.3(c) hereof), such Holder shall be responsible for the fees and expenses referred to in Section 3.3(viii) hereof incurred by such Holder prior to such withdrawal relating to such Registration Statement. The Company may withdraw a Piggy-Back Registration at any time prior to the time it becomes effective. No registration effected under this Section 2.2, and no failure to effect a registration under this Section 2.2, shall relieve the Company of its obligation to effect a registration upon the request of Holders pursuant to Section 2.1, and no failure to effect a registration under this Section 2.2 and to complete the sale of Registrable Securities in connection therewith shall relieve the Company of any other obligation under this Agreement (including, without limitation, the Company's obligations under Sections 3.2 and 4.1).
Effective Demand Registration The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Demand Registration to become and remain effective not later than sixty (60) days after it receives a request under Section 3(a) hereof. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration until it has become effective and remains continuously effective for the lesser of (i) the period during which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold or (ii) 120 days; 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.
Demand Registration Rights At any time after the date two years after the Closing Date, the holders of a majority of the shares of VPI Stock issued to the Founding Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements which have not been previously registered or sold and which are not entitled to be sold under Rule 144(k) (or any similar or successor provision) promulgated under the 1933 Act may request in writing (the "Demand Registration Request") that VPI file a registration statement under the 1933 Act covering the registration of up to all of the shares of VPI Stock issued to the STOCKHOLDERS pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements then held by such Founding Stockholders (a "Demand Registration"). Within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Demand Registration Request, VPI shall give written notice of such request to all other Founding Stockholders and shall, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 45 days after the Demand Registration Request, file and use its best efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement covering all shares requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 17.2. VPI shall be obligated to effect only one Demand Registration for all Founding Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, following the Demand Registration Request a majority of VPI's disinterested directors (i.e., directors who have not demanded or elected to sell shares in any such public offering) may defer the filing of the registration statement for a 60-day period if such deferral is deemed by such directors to be in the best interests of VPI. If immediately prior to the Demand Registration Request VPI has fixed plans to file within 60 days after receipt of the Demand Registration Request a registration statement covering the sale of any of its securities in a public offering under the 1933 Act, no registration of the Founding Stockholders' VPI Stock shall be initiated under this Section 17.2 until 90 days after the effective date of such registration unless VPI is no longer proceeding diligently to effect such registration (in which case the delay contemplated by this sentence would not be applicable); provided that VPI shall provide the Founding Stockholders the right to participate in such public offering pursuant to, and subject to, Section 17.1 hereof.
Form S-3 Registration In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form S-3 (or any successor to Form S-3) or any similar short-form registration statement and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, the Company will:
Additional Registrable Securities Subject to Section 3.4, in the event that any Holder holds Registrable Securities that are not registered for resale on a delayed or continuous basis, the Company, upon written request of such Holder, shall promptly use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause the resale of such Registrable Securities to be covered by either, at the Company’s option, any then available Shelf (including by means of a post-effective amendment) or by filing a Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement and cause the same to become effective as soon as practicable after such filing and such Shelf or Subsequent Shelf Registration Statement shall be subject to the terms hereof; provided, however, that the Company shall only be required to cause such additional Registrable Securities to be so covered twice per calendar year for each of the Sponsor and the Target Holders.
Form F-3 Registration In case the Company shall receive from any Holder or Holders of a majority of all Registrable Securities then outstanding a written request or requests that the Company effect a registration on Form F-3 (or an equivalent registration in a jurisdiction outside of the United States) and any related qualification or compliance with respect to all or a part of the Registrable Securities owned by such Holder or Holders, then the Company will:
