Foreign Registration Licensee agrees to register this Agreement with any foreign governmental agency which requires such registration, and Licensee shall pay all costs and legal fees in connection therewith. In addition, Licensee shall assure that all foreign laws affecting this Agreement or the sale of Licensed Products are fully satisfied.
Qualification; Registration The Manager shall cause the Company to be qualified, formed or registered under assumed or fictitious name statutes or similar laws in any jurisdiction in which the Company transacts business and in which such qualification, formation or registration is required or desirable. The Manager, as an authorized person within the meaning of the Act, shall execute, deliver and file any certificates (and any amendments and/or restatements thereof) necessary for the Company to qualify to do business in a jurisdiction in which the Company may wish to conduct business.
Non-Registration The Shareholder understands that the shares of Parent Stock have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”) and, if issued in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, will be issued by reason of a specific exemption from the registration provisions of the Securities Act which depends upon, among other things, the bona fide nature of the investment intent and the accuracy of the Shareholder’s representations as expressed herein.
Certain Registration Matters Assuming the accuracy of the Investors’ representations and warranties set forth in Section 3.2(b)-(e), no registration under the Securities Act is required for the offer and sale of the Shares and Warrant Shares by the Company to the Investors under the Transaction Documents. The Company is eligible to register the resale of its Common Stock by the Investors on Form S-3 promulgated under the Securities Act. Except as specified in Schedule 3.1(v), the Company has not granted or agreed to grant to any Person any rights (including “piggy-back” registration rights) to have any securities of the Company registered with the Commission or any other governmental authority that have not been satisfied or exercised.
Registration, Registration of Transfer and Exchange (a) The Borrower shall cause to be kept a register (the “Exchange Note Register”) in which, subject to reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, the Borrower shall provide for the registration of Exchange Notes and the registration of transfers of Exchange Notes. The Administrative Agent initially shall be the “Exchange Note Registrar” for the purpose of registering Exchange Notes and transfers of Exchange Notes as herein provided. Upon any resignation of any Exchange Note Registrar, the Borrower shall promptly appoint a successor or, if it elects not to make such an appointment, assume the duties of Exchange Note Registrar. If a Person other than the Administrative Agent is appointed by the Borrower as Exchange Note Registrar, the Borrower will give the Administrative Agent prompt written notice of the appointment of such Exchange Note Registrar and of the location, and any change in the location, of the Exchange Note Register, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to inspect the Exchange Note Register at all reasonable times and to obtain copies thereof at its own expense, and the Administrative Agent shall have the right to rely upon a certificate executed on behalf of the Exchange Note Registrar by an Executive Officer thereof as to the names and addresses of the Exchange Noteholders and the principal amounts and number of such Exchange Notes.
(b) The Exchange Notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any state or other applicable securities laws and will not be listed on any exchange. An Exchange Noteholder may only offer, sell or otherwise transfer, in whole or in part, an Exchange Note pursuant to an available exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and all other applicable securities laws. Transfers of the Exchange Notes will be subject to the transfer restrictions set forth in the related Exchange Note Supplement. The Exchange Notes shall bear the following legend: “THIS EXCHANGE NOTE HAS NOT BEEN AND WILL NOT BE REGISTERED UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED (THE “SECURITIES ACT”), OR UNDER ANY STATE SECURITIES LAWS. THE HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE BY ITS ACCEPTANCE HEREOF AGREES THAT SUCH EXCHANGE NOTE IS BEING ACQUIRED NOT WITH A VIEW TO DISTRIBUTION AND MAY BE RESOLD, PLEDGED OR TRANSFERRED ONLY TO A QUALIFIED PURCHASER PURSUANT TO AN APPLICABLE EXEMPTION FROM THE REGISTRATION REQUIREMENTS OF THE SECURITIES ACT AND IN COMPLIANCE WITH THE CREDIT AND SECURITY AGREEMENT AND ALL APPLICABLE SECURITIES LAWS OF ANY STATE OF THE UNITED STATES OR ANY OTHER JURISDICTION. EACH HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE AND ANY SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL BE REQUIRED TO CERTIFY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THAT SUCH HOLDER OR SUBSEQUENT HOLDER IS AN INSTITUTIONAL “ACCREDITED INVESTOR” WITHIN THE MEANING OF RULE 501(A)(1), (2), (3) OR (7) UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT OR (II) A “QUALIFIED INSTITUTIONAL BUYER” AS DEFINED IN RULE 144A UNDER THE SECURITIES ACT AND IS AWARE THAT THE SALE OR TRANSFER IS BEING MADE IN RELIANCE ON RULE 144A. THE HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL, AND EACH SUBSEQUENT HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE IS REQUIRED TO, NOTIFY ANY PURCHASER OF SUCH EXCHANGE NOTES FROM IT OF THE RESALE RESTRICTIONS REFERRED TO ABOVE. NO RESALE OR OTHER TRANSFER OF ANY EXCHANGE NOTE SHALL BE MADE TO ANY TRANSFEREE UNLESS: (A) SUCH TRANSFEREE IS NOT, AND WILL NOT ACQUIRE THE EXCHANGE NOTE ON BEHALF OR WITH THE ASSETS OF, AN “EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLAN” AS DEFINED IN SECTION 3(3) OF THE EMPLOYEE RETIREMENT INCOME SECURITY ACT OF 1974, AS AMENDED (“ERISA”), THAT IS SUBJECT TO TITLE I OF ERISA ANY OTHER “PLAN” THAT IS SUBJECT TO SECTION 4975(e)(1) OF THE INTERNAL REVENUE CODE OF 1986, AS AMENDED (THE “CODE”), AN ENTITY WHOSE UNDERLYING ASSETS INCLUDE “PLAN ASSETS” PURSUANT TO 29 C.F.R. SECTION 2510.3-101 OR A GOVERNMENTAL, NON-U.S., CHURCH OR OTHER PLAN WHICH IS SUBJECT TO ANY FEDERAL, STATE, LOCAL OR NON-U.S. LAW THAT IS SUBSTANTIALLY SIMILAR TO THE PROVISIONS OF SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE (“SIMILAR LAW”) OR (B) ITS ACQUISITION, HOLDING AND DISPOSITION OF THE EXCHANGE NOTE (OR ANY INTEREST THEREIN) WILL NOT CONSTITUTE OR RESULT IN A NON-EXEMPT PROHIBITED TRANSACTION UNDER SECTION 406 OF ERISA OR SECTION 4975 OF THE CODE OR, IN THE CASE OF A GOVERNMENTAL, NON-U.S., CHURCH OR OTHER PLAN, A VIOLATION OF ANY SIMILAR LAW. EACH HOLDER OF THIS EXCHANGE NOTE WILL NOT TRANSFER THIS EXCHANGE NOTE OR ANY BENEFICIAL INTEREST HEREIN EXCEPT TO A PURCHASER WHO CAN MAKE THE ABOVE REPRESENTATIONS AND AGREEMENTS ON BEHALF OF ITSELF AND EACH ACCOUNT FOR WHICH IT IS PURCHASING. THE HOLDER ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EXCHANGE NOTE REGISTRAR AND THE BORROWER RESERVE THE RIGHT PRIOR TO ANY SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER TO REQUIRE THE DELIVERY OF SUCH CERTIFICATIONS, LEGAL OPINIONS AND OTHER INFORMATION AS THE EXCHANGE NOTE REGISTRAR OR THE BORROWER MAY REASONABLY REQUIRE TO CONFIRM THAT THE PROPOSED SALE OR OTHER TRANSFER COMPLIES WITH THE FOREGOING RESTRICTIONS.”
(c) Upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Exchange Note, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Borrower shall execute, and the Administrative Agent shall authenticate and the Exchange Noteholder shall obtain from the Administrative Agent, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Exchange Notes in any authorized denominations and of a like aggregate principal amount. At the option of the Exchange Noteholder, Exchange Notes may be exchanged for other Exchange Notes in any authorized denominations, of a like aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Exchange Notes to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Exchange Notes are so surrendered for exchange, if the requirements of Section 8-401(a) of the UCC are met the Borrower shall execute, and the Administrative Agent shall authenticate and the Exchange Noteholder shall obtain from the Administrative Agent, the Exchange Notes which the Exchange Noteholder making the exchange is entitled to receive. All Exchange Notes issued upon any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes shall be the valid obligations of the Borrower, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Credit and Security Agreement and the related Exchange Note Supplement, as the Exchange Notes surrendered upon such registration of transfer or exchange. Every Exchange Note presented or surrendered for registration of transfer or exchange shall be duly endorsed by, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Administrative Agent duly executed by, the Exchange Noteholder thereof or such Exchange Noteholder’s attorney duly authorized in writing, with such signature guaranteed by an “eligible guarantor institution” meeting the requirements of the Exchange Note Registrar, which requirements include membership or participation in the Securities Transfer Agent’s Medallion Program (“STAMP”) or such other “signature guarantee program” as may be determined by the Exchange Note Registrar in addition to, or in substitution for, STAMP, all in accordance with the Exchange Act. No service charge shall be made to an Exchange Noteholder for any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes, but the Borrower may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any registration of transfer or exchange of Exchange Notes. The preceding provisions of this Section notwithstanding, the Borrower shall not be required to make and the Exchange Note Registrar need not register transfers or exchanges of Exchange Notes selected for redemption or of any Exchange Note for a period of fifteen (15) days preceding the due date for any payment with respect to the Exchange Note.
Additional Registration Rights If Issuer at any time after the exercise of the Option proposes to register any shares of Issuer Common Stock under the Securities Act in connection with an underwritten public offering of such Issuer Common Stock, Issuer will promptly give written notice to Grantee of its intention to do so and, upon the written request of any Selling Stockholder given within 30 days after receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of shares of Issuer Common Stock intended to be included in such underwritten public offering by the Selling Stockholder), Issuer will cause all such shares for which a Selling Stockholder requests participation in such registration to be so registered and included in such underwritten public offering; provided, however, that Issuer may elect to not cause any such shares to be so registered (i) if in the reasonable good faith opinion of the underwriters for such offering, the inclusion of all such shares by the Selling Stockholder would materially interfere with the marketing of such offering (in which case Issuer shall register as many shares as possible without materially interfering with the marketing of the offering), or (ii) in the case of a registration solely to implement an employee benefit plan or a registration filed on Form S-4 of the Securities Act or any successor Form. If some but not all the shares of Issuer Common Stock with respect to which Issuer shall have received requests for registration pursuant to this Section 10(b) shall be excluded from such registration, Issuer shall make appropriate allocation of shares to be registered among the Selling Stockholders desiring to register their shares pro rata in the proportion that the number of shares requested to be registered by each such Selling Stockholder bears to the total number of shares requested to be registered by all such Selling Stockholders then desiring to have Issuer Common Stock registered for sale.
Incidental Registration Rights (a) If the Company, for a period of six (6) years commencing one (1) year after the Base Date, proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act (other than in connection with a transaction contemplated by Rule 145(a) promulgated under the Securities Act or pursuant to registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor forms) whether for its own account or for the account of any holder or holders of its shares other than Registrable Securities (any shares of such holder or holders (but not those of the Company and not Registrable Securities) with respect to any registration are referred to herein as, “Other Shares”), the Company shall at each such time give prompt (but not less than thirty (30) days prior to the anticipated effectiveness thereof) written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intention to do so. The holders of Registrable Securities shall exercise the “piggy-back” rights provided herein by giving written notice within ten (10) days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder). Except as set forth in Section 8.3(b), the Company will use its Reasonable Commercial Efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of all of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by such holder, to the extent required to permit the disposition of the Registrable Securities so to be registered, by inclusion of such Registrable Securities in the registration statement which covers the securities which the Company proposes to register. The Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 8.3.
(b) If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its securities under the Securities Act as contemplated by this Section 8.3 and such securities are to be distributed by or through one or more underwriters, the Company will, if requested by a holder of Registrable Securities, use its Reasonable Commercial Efforts to arrange for such underwriters to include all the Registrable Securities to be offered and sold by such holder among the securities to be distributed by such underwriters, provided that if the managing underwriter of such underwritten offering shall inform the Company by letter of its belief that inclusion in such registration statement and/or distribution of all or a specified number of such securities proposed to be distributed by such underwriters would interfere with the successful marketing of the securities being distributed by such underwriters (such letter to state the basis of such belief and the approximate number of such Registrable Securities, such Other Shares and shares held by the Company proposed so to be registered which may be distributed without such effect), then the Company may, upon written notice to such holder, the other holders of Registrable Securities, and holders of such Other Shares, reduce pro rata in accordance with the number of shares of Common Stock desired to be included in such registration statement and/or distribution (if and to the extent stated by such managing underwriter to be necessary to eliminate such effect) the number of such Registrable Securities and Other Shares the registration and/or distribution of which shall have been requested by each holder thereof so that the resulting aggregate number of such Registrable Securities and Other Shares so included in such registration and/or distribution, together with the number of securities to be included in such registration and/or distribution for the account of the Company, shall be equal to the number of shares stated in such managing underwriter’s letter.
No Piggyback on Registrations; Prohibition on Filing Other Registration Statements Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b) attached hereto, neither the Company nor any of its security holders (other than the Holders in such capacity pursuant hereto) may include securities of the Company in any Registration Statements other than the Registrable Securities. The Company shall not file any other registration statements until all Registrable Securities are registered pursuant to a Registration Statement that is declared effective by the Commission, provided that this Section 6(b) shall not prohibit the Company from filing amendments to registration statements filed prior to the date of this Agreement.
Limitations on Registration Rights Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, (i) the Representative may not exercise its rights under Section 2.1 and 2.2 hereunder after five (5) and seven (7) years after the effective date of the registration statement relating to the Company’s initial public offering, respectively, and (ii) the Representative may not exercise its rights under Section 2.1 more than one time.
