Shelf Takedowns In the event that Echo files a shelf registration statement under Rule 415 of the Securities Act pursuant to a Holder Demand and such registration becomes effective (such registration statement, a “Shelf Registration Statement”), any Holder of Registrable Securities registered on such Shelf Registration Statement shall have the right at any time or from time to time to elect to sell Registrable Securities in an underwritten offering, including a “block trade” conducted as an underwritten offering, pursuant to such registration statement (“Shelf Registrable Securities”) or in any other manner contemplated by the “Plan of Distribution” in such registration statement. Any Holder making a Holder Demand may make such election by delivering to Echo a written request (a “Shelf Underwriting Request”) for such underwritten offering to Echo specifying the number of Shelf Registrable Securities that such Holder desires to sell pursuant to such underwritten offering (the “Shelf Underwriting”). As promptly as practicable, but no later than two (2) Business Days after receipt of a Shelf Underwriting Request (or, in the case of a “block trade,” such shorter period as is reasonably practicable), Echo shall give written notice (the “Shelf Underwriting Notice”) of such Shelf Underwriting Request to all Holders of Shelf Registrable Securities, and the Shelf Underwriting Notice shall offer each Holder the opportunity to include in the Shelf Underwriting that number of Registrable Securities as each such Holder may request in writing in accordance with this Section 2.1(j). Echo shall include in such Shelf Underwriting (x) the Shelf Registrable Securities of the Holders making the Shelf Underwriting Request and (y) the Shelf Registrable Securities of any other Holder of Shelf Registrable Securities which shall have made a written request to Echo for inclusion in such Shelf Underwriting (which request shall specify the maximum number of Shelf Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holder) (such persons, “Potential Takedown Participants”) within three (3) Business Days after the Shelf Underwriting Notice has been delivered (or, in the case of a “block trade,” one (1) Business Day). If such Shelf Underwriting is being conducted as a “block trade,” any Potential Takedown Participant’s request to participate in such Shelf Underwriting shall be binding on the Potential Takedown Participant; provided that each such Potential Takedown Participant that elects to participate may condition its participation on such Shelf Underwriting being completed within ten (10) Business Days and/or its acceptance at a price per share (after giving effect to any underwriters’ discounts or commissions) to such Potential Takedown Participant of not less than ninety two percent (92%) (or such lesser percentage specified by such Potential Takedown Participant) of the closing price for the shares of Common Stock on their principal trading market on the Business Day immediately prior to such Potential Takedown Participant’s election to participate. Echo shall, as expeditiously as possible, use its reasonable best efforts to facilitate such Shelf Underwriting. Once a Shelf Registration Statement has been declared effective, the Holders of Registrable Securities may request, and Echo shall be required to facilitate, an unlimited number of Shelf Underwritings with respect to such Shelf Registration Statement; provided, however, that Echo shall not be required to facilitate a Shelf Underwriting until at least 90 days after the later of the date of the underwriting agreement in any prior Shelf Underwriting effected pursuant to this Section 2.1(j) and the effective date of any previous Demand Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2.1. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 2.1(j), (A) each Shelf Underwriting must include, in the aggregate (based on the shares of Common Stock included in such Shelf Underwriting by all Holders participating in such Shelf Underwriting), shares of Common Stock having an aggregate market value of at least $100 million (determined as of the date the Shelf Underwriting Request is made), unless the Shelf Underwriting is of the balance of the Registrable Securities held by the applicable Holder making a Holder Demand and its Affiliates and (B) each Shelf Underwriting is subject to Section 2.1(k).
Shelf Takedown At any time and from time to time following the effectiveness of the shelf registration statement required by subsection 2.1.1 or 2.1.2, any Holder(s) may request to sell all or a portion of their Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering that is registered pursuant to such shelf registration statement (a “Shelf Underwritten Offering”) provided that such Holder(s) (a) reasonably expect aggregate gross proceeds in excess of $50,000,000 from such Shelf Underwritten Offering or (b) reasonably expects to sell all of the Registrable Securities held by such Holder in such Shelf Underwritten Offering but in no event for less than $10,000,000 in aggregate gross proceeds. All requests for a Shelf Underwritten Offering shall be made by giving written notice to the Company (the “Shelf Takedown Notice”). Each Shelf Takedown Notice shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Shelf Underwritten Offering and the expected price range (net of underwriting discounts and commissions) of such Shelf Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) business days after receipt of any Shelf Takedown Notice, the Company shall give written notice of such requested Shelf Underwritten Offering to all other Holders of Registrable Securities (the “Company Shelf Takedown Notice”) and, subject to reductions consistent with the Pro Rata calculations in subsection 2.2.4, shall include in such Shelf Underwritten Offering all Registrable Securities with respect to which the Company has received written requests for inclusion therein, within five (5) days after sending the Company Shelf Takedown Notice. The Company shall enter into an underwriting agreement in a form as is customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company with the managing Underwriter or Underwriters selected by the initiating Holder(s) after consultation with the Company and shall take all such other reasonable actions as are requested by the managing Underwriter or Underwriters in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of such Registrable Securities. In connection with any Shelf Underwritten Offering contemplated by this subsection 2.1.3, subject to Section 3.4 and Article IV, the underwriting agreement into which each Holder and the Company shall enter shall contain such representations, covenants, indemnities and other rights and obligations of the Company and the selling stockholders as are customary in Underwritten Offerings of securities by the Company.
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.
Maximum Number of Demand Registrations The Company is obligated to effect only two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2.
Requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns Following the expiration of the applicable Lock-Up Period, at any time and from time to time when an effective Shelf is on file with the Commission, any Holder or the Sponsor (any of the Holders or the Sponsor, a “Demanding Holder”) may request to sell all or any portion of its Registrable Securities in an Underwritten Offering or other coordinated offering that is registered pursuant to the Shelf (each, an “Underwritten Shelf Takedown”); provided that the Company shall only be obligated to effect an Underwritten Shelf Takedown if such offering shall include Registrable Securities proposed to be sold by the Demanding Holder, either individually or together with other Demanding Holders, with a total offering price reasonably expected to exceed, in the aggregate, $25 million (the “Minimum Takedown Threshold”). All requests for Underwritten Shelf Takedowns shall be made by giving written notice to the Company, which shall specify the approximate number of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in the Underwritten Shelf Takedown. The Company shall have the right to select the Underwriters for such offering (which shall consist of one or more reputable nationally recognized investment banks), subject to the initial Demanding Holder’s prior approval (which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Holders, collectively, on the one hand, and the Sponsor, on the other hand, may each demand Underwritten Shelf Takedowns pursuant to this Section 2.1.5 (i) not more than two times in any 12-month period (the “Yearly Limit”) and (ii) not more than five times in the aggregate (the “Total Limit”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Company may effect any Underwritten Offering pursuant to any then-effective Registration Statement, including a Form S-3, that is then available for such offering.
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.
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.
Effective Period of Demand Registrations After any Demand Registration filed pursuant to this Agreement has become effective, the Company shall use its best efforts to keep such Demand Registration effective for a period equal to 180 days from the date on which the SEC declares such Demand Registration effective (or if such Demand Registration is not effective during any period within such 180 days, such 180-day period shall be extended by the number of days during such period when such Demand Registration is not effective), or such shorter period which shall terminate when all of the Registrable Common Stock covered by such Demand Registration has been sold pursuant to such Demand Registration. If the Company shall withdraw any Demand Registration pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section 2 (a "Withdrawn Demand Registration"), the Initiating Holders of the Registrable Common Stock remaining unsold and originally covered by such Withdrawn Demand Registration shall be entitled to a replacement Demand Registration which (subject to the provisions of this Section 2) the Company shall use its best efforts to keep effective for a period commencing on the effective date of such Demand Registration and ending on the earlier to occur of the date (i) which is 180 days from the effective date of such Demand Registration and (ii) on which all of the Registrable Common Stock covered by such Demand Registration has been sold. Such additional Demand Registration otherwise shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement.
Demand Registrations (a) At any time (x) on or after December 31, 2015 one or more Holders Beneficially Owning Registrable Securities (A) representing at least fifteen percent (15%) of the then-outstanding shares of Registrable Securities or (B) that are reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross cash proceeds in excess of $50 million (without regard to any underwriting discount or commission), or (y) on or after the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day following the occurrence of an Initial Public Offering, such Holders (the “Demanding Holders”) shall have the right, by delivering written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”), to require the Company to, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, register under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act the number of Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by such Holders and requested by such Demand Notice to be so registered (a “Demand Registration”) provided; however, that it shall be a condition to making a Demand Registration under clause (y) above that the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be registered by the Demanding Holders is at least $25,000,000. A Demand Notice shall also specify the expected method or methods of disposition of the applicable Registrable Securities. Upon receipt of such Demand Notice, the Company will notify all other Holders (other than the Demanding Holders) in writing and such other Holders shall have the right to request the Company to include all or a portion of such other Holders’ Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration by written notice delivered to the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after such notice is given by the Company.
(b) Following receipt of a Demand Notice, subject to Section 2(c), Section 4 and, Section 6 and Section 16(h), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but not later than ninety (90) calendar days after receipt by the Company of such Demand Notice in the case of a registration made on Form S-1 or comparable successor form, as applicable, or sixty (60) calendar days in the case of any registration eligible to be made on Form S-3 or comparable successor form, as applicable), a Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by the Holders thereof in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Demand Holders (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof (and in any event in accordance with Section 5), provided that if such Demand Notice relates to a Shelf Registration Statement, the provisions of Section 4 shall apply. The Holders shall have the right to request two (2) registrations per year pursuant to this Section 2. Demanding Holders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holders shall have the right to notify the Company that they have determined that the Registration Statement and/or Shelf Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall promptly abandon or withdraw such Registration Statement and/or Shelf Registration Statement. In the event any registration attempted under this Section 2 pursuant to which the Company would be responsible for the Registration Expenses of the Holders is not consummated, then the Company shall pay such expenses and shall remain responsible for such expenses of the Holders with respect to two (2) consummated registrations per year made under this Section 2; provided, however, that if a registration attempted under this Section 2 is not consummated solely as a result of the withdrawal of the Holders requesting such registration, unless such Holders reimburse the Registration Expenses incurred by the Company, such Registration Statement shall count against the two (2) Registration Statements that the Company is required to a consummate per year. In any Demand Registration involving an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Demanding Holders, subject to approval of the Company not to be unreasonably withheld.
(c) A Registration Statement filed pursuant to a Demand Notice may include Other Securities; provided, however, that the Company and any other such requesting holders agree in writing to enter into an underwriting agreement with usual and customary terms and to any lock-up or similar limitations applicable to the Holders. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2, if the representative of the underwriters advises the Holders and the Company in writing (a “Cutback Notice”) that it is their good faith opinion that the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering, together with any Other Securities proposed to be included by holders thereof which are entitled to include securities in such Registration Statement, exceeds the total number or dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities to be so included together with all such Other Securities, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities and such Other Securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without so adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities shall be allocated for inclusion as follows: (i) first, to the Holder(s) requesting inclusion in such registration, pro rata among such Holder(s) on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities for which each such Holder has requested registration, (ii) second, to the Company for any securities it proposes to sell for its own account, and (iii) third, to the other holders requesting inclusion in the registration, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares for which each such requesting holder has requested registration. If a Person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such Person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Holder(s). The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. A registration shall not be counted as “consummated” for purposes of the two (2) registrations per year requirement if, as a result of a Cutback Notice, fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.
(d) Except as provided in Section 2(b) with respect to withdrawn Registration statements, all Registration Expenses of the Holders incurred in connection with two (2) registrations per year requested pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne by the Company.
