Demand and Piggyback Registration Rights 

Related to Demand and Piggyback Registration Rights

  • Piggyback Registration Rights To the extent the Company does not maintain an effective registration statement for the Warrant Shares and in the further event that the Company files a registration statement with the Commission covering the sale of its shares of Common Stock (other than a registration statement on Form S-4 or S-8, or on another form, or in another context, in which such “piggyback” registration would be inappropriate), then, for a period commencing on the Initial Exercise Date and terminating on the second (2nd) anniversary of the Initial Exercise Date, the Company shall give written notice of such proposed filing to the holders of Warrant Shares as soon as practicable but in no event less than ten (10) business days before the anticipated filing date, which notice shall describe the amount and type of securities to be included in such offering, the intended method(s) of distribution, and the name of the proposed managing underwriter or underwriters, if any, of the offering, and offer to the holders of Warrant Shares in such notice the opportunity to register the sale of such number of shares of Warrant Shares as such holders may request in writing within five (5) business days after receipt of such notice (a “Piggyback Registration”). The Company shall cause such Warrant Shares to be included in such registration and shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter or underwriters of a proposed underwritten offering to permit the Warrant Shares requested to be included in a Piggyback Registration on the same terms and conditions as any similar securities of the Company and to permit the sale or other disposition of such Warrant Shares in accordance with the intended method(s) of distribution thereof. All holders of Warrant Shares proposing to distribute their securities through a Piggyback Registration that involves an underwriter or underwriters shall enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for such Piggyback Registration.

  • Piggy-Back Registration Rights (a) The Company shall give the Holder at least 30 days’ prior written notice of each filing by the Company of a registration statement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”). If requested by the Holder in writing within 20 days after receipt of any such notice, the Company shall, at the Company’s sole expense (other than the underwriting discounts, if any, payable in respect of the shares sold by an Holder), register all or, at Holder’s option, any portion of the Holder’s shares of common stock received upon conversion of the Shares (the “Common Stock Shares”) concurrently with the registration of such other securities, all to the extent requisite to permit the public offering and sale of the Common Stock Shares through the securities exchange, if any, on which the Company’s common stock is being sold or on the over-the-counter market, and will use its reasonable best efforts through its officers, directors, auditors, and counsel to cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. If the managing underwriter of any such offering shall determine and advise the Company that, in its opinion, the distribution of all or a portion of the Common Stock Shares requested to be included in the registration concurrently with the securities being registered by the Company would materially adversely affect the distribution of such securities by the Company, then the Company will include in such registration first, the securities that the Company proposes to sell and second, the Common Stock Shares requested to be included in such registration, to the extent permitted by the managing underwriter. (b) In the event of a registration pursuant to these provisions, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the Common Stock Shares so registered to be registered or qualified for sale under the securities or blue sky laws of such jurisdictions as the Holder may reasonably request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business in any state by reason of this section in which it is not otherwise required to qualify to do business. (c) The Company shall keep effective any registration or qualification contemplated by this section and shall from time to time amend or supplement each applicable registration statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus, application, document and communication for such period of time as shall be required to permit the Holder to complete the offer and sale of the Common Stock Shares covered thereby. (d) In the event of a registration pursuant to the provisions of this section, the Company shall furnish to the Holder such reasonable number of copies of the registration statement and of each amendment and supplement thereto (in each case, including all exhibits), of each prospectus contained in such registration statement and each supplement or amendment thereto (including each preliminary prospectus), all of which shall conform to the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder, and such other documents, as the Holder may reasonably request to facilitate the disposition of the Common Stock Shares included in such registration. (e) The Company shall notify the Holder promptly when such registration statement has become effective or a supplement to any prospectus forming a part of such registration statement has been filed. (f) The Company shall advise the Holder promptly after it shall receive notice or obtain knowledge of the issuance of any stop order by the Commission suspending the effectiveness of such registration statement, or the initiation or threatening of any proceeding for that purpose and promptly use its reasonable best efforts to prevent the issuance of any stop order or to obtain its withdrawal if such stop order should be issued. (g) The Company shall promptly notify the Holder at any time when a prospectus relating thereto is required to be delivered under the Securities Act of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such registration statement, as then in effect, would include 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 in the light of the circumstances then existing, and at the reasonable request of the Holder prepare and furnish to it such number of copies of a supplement to or an amendment of such prospectus as may be necessary so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Common Stock Shares or 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 not misleading in the light of the circumstances under which they were made. The Holder shall suspend all sales of the Common Stock Shares upon receipt of such notice from the Company and shall not re-commence sales until they receive copies of any necessary amendment or supplement to such prospectus, which shall be delivered to the Holder within 30 days of the date of such notice from the Company. (h) If requested by the underwriter for any underwritten offering of Common Stock Shares, the Company and the Holder will enter into an underwriting agreement with such underwriter for such offering, which shall be reasonably satisfactory in substance and form to the Company, the Company’s counsel and the Holder’ counsel, and the underwriter, and such agreement shall contain such representations and warranties by the Company and the Holder and such other terms and provisions as are customarily contained in an underwriting agreement with respect to secondary distributions solely by selling stockholders, including, without limitation, indemnities substantially to the effect and to the extent provided below.

  • Unlimited Piggyback Registration Rights For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

  • Piggyback Registrations The Company shall notify all Holders of Registrable Securities in writing at least fifteen (15) days prior to the filing of any registration statement under the Securities Act for purposes of a public offering of securities of the Company (including, but not limited to, registration statements relating to secondary offerings of securities of the Company, but excluding Special Registration Statements) and will afford each such Holder an opportunity to include in such registration statement all or part of such Registrable Securities held by such Holder. Each Holder desiring to include in any such registration statement all or any part of the Registrable Securities held by it shall, within fifteen (15) days after the above-described notice from the Company, so notify the Company in writing. Such notice shall state the intended method of disposition of the Registrable Securities by such Holder. If a Holder decides not to include all of its Registrable Securities in any registration statement thereafter filed by the Company, such Holder shall nevertheless continue to have the right to include any Registrable Securities in any subsequent registration statement or registration statements as may be filed by the Company with respect to offerings of its securities, all upon the terms and conditions set forth herein.

  • Piggyback Registration (a) If the Company proposes to register any Company Securities under the Securities Act (whether for itself or in connection with a sale of securities by any Stockholder, but other than a registration on Form S-8 or S-4, or any successor or similar forms, relating to Common Shares issuable upon exercise of employee stock options or in connection with any employee benefit or similar plan of the Company or in connection with a direct or indirect acquisition by the Company of another Person), the Company shall each such time give prompt written notice at least ten (10) Business Days prior to the anticipated filing date of the registration statement relating to such registration to each Stockholder holding Registrable Securities with rights to require registration of Company Securities hereunder, which notice shall set forth such Stockholder’s rights under this Section 1.02 and shall offer such Stockholder the opportunity to include in such registration statement Company Securities of the same class or series of Registrable Securities as proposed to be offered in such registration (a “Piggyback Registration”), subject to the restrictions set forth herein. Upon the written request of any such Stockholder made within five (5) Business Days after the receipt of notice from the Company (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be registered by such Stockholder), the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities that the Company has been so requested to register by all such Stockholders with rights to require registration of Company Securities hereunder, to the extent requisite to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, provided that (i) if such registration involves a Public Offering, all such Stockholders requesting to be included in the Company’s registration must sell their Registrable Securities to the underwriters selected as provided in Section 1.05(f)(i) on the same terms and conditions as apply to the Company or any other selling Stockholders, and (ii) if, at any time after giving notice of its intention to register any Company Securities pursuant to this Section 1.02(a) and prior to the effective date of the registration statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company shall determine for any reason not to register such Company securities, the Company shall give notice to all such Stockholders and, thereupon, shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration. No registration effected under this Section 1.02 shall relieve the Company of its obligations to effect a Demand Registration to the extent required by Section 1.01. The Company shall be liable for and pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each Piggyback Registration. (b) If a Piggyback Registration involves a Public Offering (other than any Demand Registration, in which case the provisions with respect to priority of inclusion in such offering set forth in Section 1.01(f) shall apply) and the managing underwriter advises the Company that, in its view, the number of Company Securities that the Company and such selling stockholders propose to include in such registration exceeds the Maximum Offering Size, the Company shall include in such registration, in the following priority, up to the Maximum Offering Size: (i) with respect to a Public Offering by the Company for its own account: (A) first, such number of Registrable Securities proposed to be registered for the account of the Company or any Requesting Stockholder on whose account the registration is being made, if any, as would not cause the offering to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, and (B) second, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any Registering Stockholders (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Stockholders based on their relative ownership of Registrable Securities) requested be included in the Piggyback Registration. (ii) With respect to a Public Offering by the Company for the account of selling stockholders: (A) first, all Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by any Registering Stockholders (allocated, if necessary for the offering not to exceed the Maximum Offering Size, pro rata among such Stockholders based on their relative number of Registrable Securities) requested to be included in the Piggyback Registration; and (B) second, all Registrable Securities proposed to be registered for the account of the Company.

  • Piggy-Back Registrations If, at any time during the Effectiveness Period, there is not an effective Registration Statement covering all of the Registrable Securities and the Company shall determine to prepare and file with the Commission a registration statement relating to an offering for its own account or the account of others under the Securities Act of any of its equity securities, other than on Form S-4 or Form S-8 (each as promulgated under the Securities Act) or their then equivalents relating to equity securities to be issued solely in connection with any acquisition of any entity or business or equity securities issuable in connection with the Company’s stock option or other employee benefit plans, then the Company shall deliver to each Holder a written notice of such determination and, if within fifteen days after the date of the delivery of such notice, any such Holder shall so request in writing, the Company shall include in such registration statement all or any part of such Registrable Securities such Holder requests to be registered; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to register any Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 6(e) that are eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144 (without volume restrictions or current public information requirements) promulgated by the Commission pursuant to the Securities Act or that are the subject of a then effective Registration Statement.

  • Piggy Back Registration (a) If the Company shall, at any time prior to the expiration of this Warrant, authorize a registration of its Common Stock with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC"), the Company shall furnish the Holder with at least 30 days prior written notice thereof and the Holder shall have the option to include the Shares to be issued to the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant in such registration statement. The Holder shall exercise the "piggy-back registration rights" granted pursuant to this Section 7 by giving written notice to the Company within 20 days of the receipt of the written notice from the Company described above. (b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Warrant, the Company's obligations under this Section 7 shall be subject to the following terms and conditions: (i) The obligations of the Company set forth under this Section 7 shall not arise upon the filing of a registration statement that covers any of the following: (A) securities proposed to be issued in exchange for assets or securities of another corporation; (B) debt securities not convertible into, or exchangeable for, shares of Common Stock; (C) securities to be issued pursuant to a transaction registered on Form S-4 (or any registration form promulgated by the SEC in substitution of that form); or (D) a stock option, stock bonus, stock purchase, or other employee benefit or compensation plan or securities issued or issuable pursuant to any such plan. (ii) If the Company files a registration statement in connection with an underwritten public offering of Common Stock, the Company shall use its best efforts to cause the managing underwriter of the proposed offering to grant any request by the Holder that Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant be included in the proposed public offering on terms and conditions that are customary under industry practice. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if the managing underwriter of the public offering of the Common Stock gives written notice to the Company that, in the reasonable opinion of such managing underwriter, marketing factors require a limitation of the total number of shares of Common Stock to be underwritten, then the number of Shares purchased by the Holder upon the exercise of this Warrant that the Company shall be obligated to include in the registration statement shall be reduced in accordance with the limitations imposed by the managing underwriter. (iii) The Holder must provide to the Company all information, and take all action, the Parent reasonably requests with reasonable advance notice, to enable it to comply with any applicable law or regulation or to prepare the registration statement that will cover the Shares that will be included in the registration. (c) The Company will pay all Registration Expenses (as defined below) in connection with the registration of the Shares pursuant to this Section 7. For purposes of this Warrant, the term "Registration Expenses" shall mean all expenses incurred by the Company in complying with this Section 7, including, without limitation, all registration and filing fees, exchange listing fees, printing expenses, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company, state Blue Sky fees and expenses, transfer agent fees, cost of engraving of stock certificates, costs for mailing and tombstone advertising, cost of preparing the registration statement, related exhibits, amendments and supplements thereto, underwriting documents, selected dealer agreements, preliminary and final prospectuses, and the expense of any special audits incident to or required by any such registration, but excluding underwriting discounts and selling commissions attributable to the Shares and the fees and expenses of the Holder's own counsel and accountants, which shall be borne by the Holder.

  • Unlimited Piggy-Back Registration Rights For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.

  • Demand Registration Rights (a) The Company, upon written demand (“Demand Notice”) of the Majority Holders, agrees to register on one occasion all of the Registrable Securities. On such occasion, the Company will file a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a Demand Notice and use its Reasonable Best Efforts to have such registration statement or post-effective amendment declared effective as soon as possible thereafter; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to comply with a Demand Notice if the Company has filed a registration statement with respect to which the Holder is entitled to piggyback registration rights pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof and either: (i) the Holder has elected to participate in the offering covered by such registration statement or (ii) if such registration statement relates to an underwritten primary offering of securities of the Company, until the offering covered by such registration statement has been withdrawn or until thirty (30) days after such offering is consummated. The demand for registration may be made at any time during a period of four years beginning one (1) year from the Base Date. The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of its receipt of any Demand Notice by any Holder(s) to all other registered Holders of the Warrants and/or the Registrable Securities within ten days from the date of the receipt of any such Demand Notice. (b) The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 8.2(a), but the Holders shall pay all any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. The Company agrees to use its Reasonable Best Efforts to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such states as are reasonably requested by the Majority Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities in a state in which such registration would cause (i) the Company to be obligated to register, license or qualify to do business in such state, submit to general service of process in such state or would subject the Company to taxation as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction or (ii) the principal stockholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement or post-effective amendment filed pursuant to the demand right granted under Section 8(a) to remain effective for a period of nine consecutive months from the effective date of such registration statement or post-effective amendment. The Holders shall only use the prospectuses provided by the Company to sell the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, and will immediately cease to use any prospectus furnished by the Company if the Company advises the Holder that such prospectus may no longer be used due to a material misstatement or omission.

  • Priority on Piggyback Registrations (a) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering and was initiated by the Company, and if the managing underwriter advises the Company that the inclusion of Registrable Shares requested to be included in the Registration Statement would cause an Adverse Effect, the Company shall include in such registration statement (i) first, the securities the Company proposes to sell, (ii) second, the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the Holders of such Registrable Shares on the basis of the number of Registrable Shares owned by each such Holder, and (iii) third, any other securities requested to be included in such registration. If as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.2.2(a) any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Shares in a registration that such Holder has requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable Shares in such registration statement. (b) If a Piggyback Registration is an underwritten offering and was initiated by a security holder of the Company, and if the managing underwriter advises the Company that the inclusion of Registrable Shares requested to be included in the Registration Statement would cause an Adverse Effect, the Company shall include in such registration statement (i) first, the securities requested to be included therein by the security holders requesting such registration and the Registrable Shares requested to be included in such registration, pro rata among the holders of such securities on the basis of the number of securities owned by each such holder, and (ii) second, any other securities requested to be included in such registration (including securities to be sold for the account of the Company). If as a result of the provisions of this Section 2.2.2(b) any Holder shall not be entitled to include all Registrable Shares in a registration that such Holder has requested to be so included, such Holder may withdraw such Holder’s request to include Registrable Shares in such registration statement. (c) No Holder may participate in any registration statement in respect of a Piggyback Registration hereunder unless such Holder (x) agrees to sell such Holder’s Registrable Shares on the basis provided in any underwriting arrangements approved by the Company and (y) completes and executes all questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities, underwriting agreements and other documents, each in customary form, reasonably required under the terms of such underwriting arrangements; provided, however, that no such Holder shall be required to make any representations or warranties in connection with any such registration other than representations and warranties as to (i) such Holder’s ownership of his or its Registrable Shares to be sold or transferred free and clear of all liens, claims, and encumbrances, (ii) such Holder’s power and authority to effect such transfer, and (iii) such matters pertaining to compliance with securities laws as may be reasonably requested; provided, further, however, that the obligation of such Holder to indemnify pursuant to any such underwriting arrangements shall be several, not joint and several, among such Holders selling Registrable Shares, and the liability of each such Holder will be in proportion to, and provided, further, that such liability will be limited to, the net amount received by such Holder from the sale of his or its Registrable Shares pursuant to such registration.
