Additional Mandatory Registrations The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Additional Filing Deadline, file with the SEC an Additional Registration Statement on Form S-1 covering the resale of all of the Additional Registrable Securities not previously registered on an Additional Registration Statement hereunder. To the extent the staff of the SEC does not permit the Additional Required Registration Amount to be registered on an Additional Registration Statement, the Company shall file Additional Registration Statements successively trying to register on each such Additional Registration Statement the maximum number of remaining Additional Registrable Securities until the Additional Required Registration Amount has been registered with the SEC; provided that after two rejections by the SEC of Additional Registration Statements, the Company shall not be required to file Additional Registration Statements more frequently than once per sixty day period commencing subsequent to the second rejection. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use Form S-1 or such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(e). Each Additional Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least that number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Additional Required Registration Amount determined as of the date such Additional Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(f). Each Additional Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the "Plan of Distribution" and "Selling Shareholders" sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B, with such modifications as may be required by law. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have each Additional Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Additional Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the second (2nd) Business Day following the Additional Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Additional Registration Statement.
Incidental Registrations If the Company at any time proposes to register any of its equity securities under the Securities Act for its own account (including, but not limited to, a Shelf Registration Statement, but other than pursuant to a registration on Form S-4 or S-8 or any successor form), then the Company shall give prompt written notice to all holders of Registrable Securities regarding such proposed registration. Upon the written request of any such holder made within 15 days after the receipt of any such notice (which request shall specify the number of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such holder and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof), the Company shall use its best efforts to effect the registration under the Securities Act of such Registrable Securities on a pro rata basis in accordance with such intended method or methods of disposition, provided that:
(a) (i) the Company shall not include Registrable Securities in such proposed registration to the extent that the Board shall have determined, after consultation with the managing underwriter for such offering, that it would materially and adversely affect the offering price to include any Registrable Securities in such registration and (ii) the Company shall not include Registrable Securities of any Company Stockholder in any proposed registration pursuant to this Section 7.6 to the extent that the managing underwriter (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banker) shall determine in good faith that the participation of such Company Stockholder would materially and adversely affect the marketability or the offering price of the securities being sold in such registration and provided, further, that in the event of any such determination under clause (i) or (ii), the Company shall give the affected holders of Registrable Securities notice of such determination and in lieu of the notice otherwise required by the first sentence of this Section 7.6;
(b) if, at any time after giving written notice (pursuant to this Section 7.6) of its intention to register equity securities 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 equity securities, the Company may, at its election, give written notice of such determination to each holder of Registrable Securities and, thereupon, shall not be obligated to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration (but shall nevertheless pay the Registration Expenses in connection therewith), without prejudice, however, to the rights of Xxxxx or the Non-Xxxxx Stockholders that a registration be effected under Sections 7.1 or 7.2, as the case may be; and
(c) if in connection with a registration pursuant to this Section 7.6, the managing underwriter of such registration (or, in the case of an offering that is not underwritten, a nationally recognized investment banking firm) shall advise the Company in writing (with a copy to each holder of Registrable Securities requesting registration thereof) that the number of securities requested and otherwise proposed to be included in such registration exceeds the number which can be sold in such offering without materially and adversely affecting the offering price of the securities being sold in such registration, then in the case of any registration pursuant to this Section 7.6, the Company shall include in such registration to the extent of the number which the Company is so advised can be sold in such offering without such material adverse effect, first, the securities, if any, being sold by the Company, and second, the Registrable Securities of Xxxxx, the Outside Stockholders and the Company Stockholders, on a pro rata basis (based on the number of shares of Registrable Securities owned by each such Stockholder). The Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection with each registration of Registrable Securities requested pursuant to this Section 7.6, provided, that each seller of Registrable Securities shall pay all Registration Expenses to the extent required to be paid by such seller under applicable law and all underwriting discounts and commissions and transfer taxes, if any. No registration effected under this Section 7.6 shall relieve the Company from its obligation to effect registrations under Sections 7.1 and 7.2.
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.
Mandatory Registration The Company shall, within thirty (30) calendar days from the date hereof, file with the SEC an initial Registration Statement covering the maximum number of Registrable Securities (beginning with the Put Shares) as shall be permitted to be included thereon in accordance with applicable SEC rules, regulations and interpretations so as to permit the resale of such Registrable Securities by the Investor, including but not limited to under Rule 415 under the Securities Act at then prevailing market prices (and not fixed prices), as mutually determined by both the Company and the Investor in consultation with their respective legal counsel, subject to the aggregate number of authorized shares of the Company’s Common Stock then available for issuance in its Certificate of Incorporation. The initial Registration Statement shall register only the Registrable Securities. The Investor and its counsel shall have a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Registration Statement and any amendment or supplement to such Registration Statement and any related prospectus prior to its filing with the SEC, and the Company shall give due consideration to all reasonable comments. The Investor shall furnish all information reasonably requested by the Company for inclusion therein. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Registration Statement and any amendment declared effective by the SEC at the earliest possible date. The Company shall use reasonable best efforts to keep the Registration Statement effective, including but not limited to pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act and available for the resale by the Investor of all of the Registrable Securities covered thereby at all times until the earlier of (i) the date as of which the Investor may sell all of the Registrable Securities without restriction pursuant to Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities and (ii) the date on which the Investor shall have sold all the Registrable Securities covered thereby and no Available Amount remains under the Purchase Agreement (the “Registration Period”). The Registration Statement (including any amendments or supplements thereto and prospectuses contained therein) shall not contain any 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, in light of the circumstances in which they were made, not misleading.
Initial Mandatory Registration The Company shall prepare, and, as soon as practicable but in no event later than the Initial Filing Deadline, file with the SEC the Initial Registration Statement on Form S-3 covering the resale of all of the Initial/Replacement Registrable Securities. In the event that Form S-3 is unavailable for such a registration, the Company shall use such other form as is available for such a registration on another appropriate form reasonably acceptable to the Required Holders, subject to the provisions of Section 2(g). The Initial Registration Statement prepared pursuant hereto shall register for resale at least the number of shares of Common Stock equal to the Initial Required Registration Amount determined as of the date the Initial Registration Statement is initially filed with the SEC, subject to adjustment as provided in Section 2(h). The Initial Registration Statement shall contain (except if otherwise directed by the Required Holders) the "Plan of Distribution" and "Selling Stockholders" sections in substantially the form attached hereto as Exhibit B. The Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to have the Initial Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable, but in no event later than the Initial Effectiveness Deadline. By 9:30 a.m. New York time on the Business Day following the Initial Effective Date, the Company shall file with the SEC in accordance with Rule 424 under the 1933 Act the final prospectus to be used in connection with sales pursuant to such Initial Registration Statement.
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.
Non-Registration Events The Company and the Subscribers agree that the Seller will suffer damages if any registration statement required under Section 11.1(iv) above is not filed by the Filing Date and not declared effective by the Commission by the Effective Date, and any registration statement required under Section 11.1(i) or 11.1(ii) is not filed within 60 days after written request and declared effective by the Commission within 120 days after such request, and maintained in the manner and within the time periods contemplated by Section 11 hereof, and it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages with precision. Accordingly, if (i) the registration statement on Form SB-2 or such other form described in Section 11.1(iv) is not filed on or before the Filing Date or is not declared effective on or before the sooner of the Effective Date, or within ten (10) business days of receipt by the Company of a written or oral communication from the Commission that the registration statement described in Section 11.1(iv) will not be reviewed, (ii) if the registration statement described in Sections 11.1(i) or 11.1(ii) is not filed within 60 days after such written request, or is not declared effective within 120 days after such written request, or (iii) any registration statement described in Sections 11.1(i), 11.1(ii) or 11.1(iv) is filed and declared effective but shall thereafter cease to be effective (without being succeeded immediately by an additional registration statement filed and declared effective) for a period of time which shall exceed 30 days in the aggregate per year or more than 20 consecutive days (defined as a period of 365 days commencing on the date the Registration Statement is declared effective) (each such event referred to in clauses (i), (ii) and (iii) of this Section 11.4 is referred to herein as a "Non-Registration Event"), then the Company shall deliver to the holder of Registrable Securities, as Liquidated Damages, an amount equal to two percent (2%) for each thirty days or part thereof, of the Purchase Price of the Notes remaining unconverted and purchase price of Shares issued upon conversion of the Notes and actually paid "Purchase Price" (as defined in the Warrants) of Warrant Shares issued or issuable upon actual exercise of the Warrants, for the Registrable Securities owned of record by such holder as of and during the pendency of such Non-Registration Event which are subject to such Non-Registration Event. Payments to be made pursuant to this Section 11.4 shall be payable in cash and due and payable within ten (10) business days after the end of each thirty (30) day period or part thereof.
Registration, Transfer and Exchange Generally (a) The Trustee shall cause to be kept at the Corporate Trust Office a register (the “Securities Register”) in which the registrar and transfer agent with respect to the Securities (the “Securities Registrar”), subject to such reasonable regulations as it may prescribe, shall provide for the registration of Securities and of transfers and exchanges of Securities. The Trustee shall at all times also be the Securities Registrar. The provisions of Article VI shall apply to the Trustee in its role as Securities Registrar.
(b) Subject to compliance with Section 2.2(b), upon surrender for registration of transfer of any Security at the offices or agencies of the Company designated for that purpose the Company shall execute, and the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, in the name of the designated transferee or transferees, one or more new Securities of any authorized denominations of like tenor and aggregate principal amount.
(c) At the option of the Holder, Securities may be exchanged for other Securities of any authorized denominations, of like tenor and aggregate principal amount, upon surrender of the Securities to be exchanged at such office or agency. Whenever any Securities are so surrendered for exchange, the Company shall execute, and upon receipt thereof the Trustee shall authenticate and deliver, the Securities that the Holder making the exchange is entitled to receive.
(d) All Securities issued upon any transfer or exchange of Securities shall be the valid obligations of the Company, evidencing the same debt, and entitled to the same benefits under this Indenture, as the Securities surrendered upon such transfer or exchange.
(e) Every Security presented or surrendered for transfer or exchange shall (if so required by the Company or the Trustee) be duly endorsed, or be accompanied by a written instrument of transfer in form satisfactory to the Company and the Securities Registrar, duly executed by the Holder thereof or such Holder’s attorney duly authorized in writing.
(f) No service charge shall be made to a Holder for any transfer or exchange of Securities, but the Company may require payment of a sum sufficient to cover any tax or other governmental charge that may be imposed in connection with any transfer or exchange of Securities.
(g) Neither the Company nor the Trustee shall be required pursuant to the provisions of this Section 3.5 to (i) issue, register the transfer of or exchange any Security during a period beginning at the opening of business fifteen (15) days before the day of selection for redemption of Securities pursuant to Article XI and ending at the close of business on the day of mailing of the notice of redemption or (ii) to register the transfer of or exchange any Security so selected for redemption in whole or in part, except, in the case of any such Security to be redeemed in part, any portion thereof not to be redeemed.
(h) The Company shall designate an office or offices or agency or agencies where Securities may be surrendered for registration or transfer or exchange. The Company initially designates the Corporate Trust Office as its office and agency for such purposes. The Company shall give prompt written notice to the Trustee and to the Holders of any change in the location of any such office or agency.
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.
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.
