Registration Procedures and Expenses The Company hereby agrees that it shall:
(a) prepare and file with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as soon as reasonably practicable after the date of the Company’s initial issuance of Securities to a Trust pursuant to one of the Contribution Agreements, but in no event more than 120 days after such date, a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 covering the Securities (such registration statement and any successor registration statement filed under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), shall be hereinafter referred to as the “Registration Statement”), to enable the appropriate Committee, with respect to each Trust, to direct the Trustee to sell the Securities from time to time in the manner contemplated by the plan of distribution set forth in any prospectus that is part of the Registration Statement, as amended by any prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment thereto, and use its reasonable commercial efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as promptly as reasonably possible after filing and to remain continuously effective until the earliest of (i) the date on which all Securities have been sold, and (ii) the fifth anniversary of the Contribution Agreements (the “Registration Period”); provided, however, that it shall not be required to file such Registration Statement or cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective during the pendency of any suspension period pursuant to Sections 1.2(c) or (d) below;
(b) prepare and file with the SEC such amendments (including post-effective amendments) and supplements to the Registration Statement and the prospectus filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, or if no such filing is required, as included in the Registration Statement (the “Prospectus”), as may be necessary to keep the Registration Statement effective at all times until the end of the Registration Period; provided, however, that it shall not be required to file any such amendment or prospectus supplement during the pendency of any suspension period pursuant to Sections 1.2(c) or (d) below;
(c) with respect to each Trust, furnish the Committees and the Trustee with such reasonable number of copies of the Prospectus in conformity with the requirements of the Securities Act, and such other documents as the Committees may direct the Trustee to request, in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of all or any of the Securities held by such Trust by the Trustee, as directed by the appropriate Committee;
(d) use its reasonable commercial efforts to file documents required of the Company for normal blue sky clearance in such states as the Committees shall reasonably designate in writing; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to qualify to do business or consent to service of process in any jurisdiction in which it is not now so qualified or has not so consented; and
(e) bear all expenses in connection with the actions contemplated by paragraphs (a) through (d) of this Section 1.1 and the registration of the Securities pursuant to the Registration Statement. With respect to each Trust, the Committees shall provide such reasonable assistance to the Company and furnish, or cause to be furnished, to the Company in writing such information regarding the Securities to be sold and the intended method or methods of disposition of the Securities, as shall be required to effect the registration of the Securities and as may be required from time to time under the Securities Act and the rules and regulations thereunder. As directed by the appropriate Committee, with respect to each Trust, the Trustee will provide the Company with specific information from the Trustee’s ordinary books and records about the Securities or the Trust.
Incidental Registration (i) Whenever the Company proposes to file a Registration Statement (other than a registration relating solely to the sale of securities to participants in a Company stock or equity compensation plan, a registration relating to a corporate reorganization or other transaction under Rule 145 of the Securities Act, a registration on any form that does not include substantially the same information as would be required to be included in a registration statement covering the sale of the Registrable Shares, or a registration in which the only Common Stock being registered is Common Stock issuable upon conversion of debt securities that are also being registered, at any time and from time to time, it will, prior to such filing, give written notice to all Holders of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of a Holder or Holders given within twenty (20) days after the Company provides such notice, the Company shall use its reasonable efforts to cause all Registrable Shares which the Company has been requested by such Holder or Holders to register to be registered under the Securities Act; provided that the Company shall have the right to postpone or withdraw any registration effected pursuant to this Section C without obligation to any Holder other than pursuant to Section E.
(ii) In connection with any offering under this Section C involving an underwriting, the Company shall not be required to include any Registrable Shares in such underwriting unless the Holders thereof accept the terms of the underwriting as agreed upon between the Company and the underwriters selected by it, and then only in such quantity, subject to the restrictions set forth below, as will not, in the written opinion of the underwriters, jeopardize the success of the offering by the Company. If in the written opinion of the managing underwriter the registration of all, or part of, the Registrable Shares that the Holders have requested to be included would adversely affect such public offering, then the Company shall be required to include in the underwriting only that number of Registrable Shares that the managing underwriter believes may be sold without causing such adverse effect. If the number of Registrable Shares to be included in the underwriting in accordance with the foregoing is less than the total number of shares which the Holders of Registrable Shares have requested to be included, then the Company may include all securities proposed to be registered by the Company to be sold for its own account; provided, however, that the number of Registrable Shares shall not be reduced unless all other securities of the Company are first excluded from the underwriting (including securities held by employees, officers and directors) and the Holders of Registrable Shares who have requested registration shall participate in the underwriting pro rata based upon their total ownership of shares of Common Stock of the Company. If any Holder would thus be entitled to include more shares than such Holder requested to be registered, the excess shall be allocated among other requesting Holders pro rata based upon their total ownership of Registrable Shares.
(iii) All Holders of Registrable Shares proposing to distribute their securities in an offering under this Section C involving an underwriting shall (together with the Company and other shareholders, if any, of securities distributing their shares through such underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form with the underwriter or underwriters selected for the underwriting.
Registration of Registrable Securities The Company will file with the Commission, within 30 days following the date hereof, a Registration Statement on Form S-3 (the "Registration Statement") to register the resale of the Common Shares issuable upon the exercise of the Warrants. The Company will use its best efforts to cause the Registration Statement to become effective within (i) 90 days of the Date hereof, (ii) ten (10) days following the receipt of a "No Review" or similar letter from the Commission or (iii) the first day following the day the Commission determines the Registration Statement eligible to be declared effective (the "Required Effectiveness Date"). Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to limit the number of Registrable Securities to be registered by the Company hereunder. As a result, should the Registration Statement not relate to the maximum number of Registrable Securities acquired by (or potentially acquirable by) the holders thereof upon conversion of the Preferred Stock, or exercise of the Common Stock Purchase Warrants described in Section 1 above, the Company shall be required to promptly file a separate registration statement (utilizing Rule 462 promulgated under the Exchange Act, where applicable) relating to such Registrable Securities which then remain unregistered. The provisions of this Agreement shall relate to any such separate registration statement as if it were an amendment to the Registration Statement.
SEC Registration The Parties mutually agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to maintain effective registration statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the long-term incentive awards to the extent any such registration statement is required by applicable Law.
Registration, etc Each Pledgor agrees that, upon the occurrence and during the continuance of an Event of Default hereunder, if for any reason the Collateral Agent desires to sell any of the Pledged Securities of the Borrower at a public sale, it will, at any time and from time to time, upon the written request of the Collateral Agent, use its best efforts to take or to cause the issuer of such Pledged Securities to take such action and prepare, distribute and/or file such documents, as are required or advisable in the reasonable opinion of counsel for the Collateral Agent to permit the public sale of such Pledged Securities. Each Pledgor further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Collateral Agent, each other Secured Party, any underwriter and their respective officers, directors, affiliates and controlling persons from and against all loss, liability, expenses, costs of counsel (including, without limitation, reasonable fees and expenses to the Collateral Agent of legal counsel), and claims (including the costs of investigation) that they may incur insofar as such loss, liability, expense or claim arises out of or is based upon any alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in any prospectus (or any amendment or supplement thereto) or in any notification or offering circular, or arises out of or is based upon any alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements in any thereof not misleading, except insofar as the same may have been caused by any untrue statement or omission based upon information furnished in writing to such Pledgor or the issuer of such Pledged Securities by the Collateral Agent or any other Secured Party expressly for use therein. Each Pledgor further agrees, upon such written request referred to above, to use its best efforts to qualify, file or register, or cause the issuer of such Pledged Securities to qualify, file or register, any of the Pledged Securities under the Blue Sky or other securities laws of such states as may be requested by the Collateral Agent and keep effective, or cause to be kept effective, all such qualifications, filings or registrations. Each Pledgor will bear all costs and expenses of carrying out its obligations under this Section 12. Each Pledgor acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for failure by it to comply with the provisions of this Section 12 and that such failure would not be adequately compensable in damages, and therefore agrees that its agreements contained in this Section 12 may be specifically enforced.
