Requested Registration Until April 26, 2001 or the date that all of the shares of Xxxxxxx common stock Beneficially Owned by the Shareholders are eligible for sale under Rule 144 of the SEC without any volume limitation, whichever is earlier, subject to the following provisions a Shareholder may request that Xxxxxxx register all or a portion of his Registrable Securities. If Xxxxxxx shall receive a written request from one or more Shareholders that Xxxxxxx effect the registration under the Securities Act of all or a part of such Shareholders' Registrable Securities, then Xxxxxxx will, within ten (10) days after receipt thereof, give notice to all other Shareholders of the receipt of such request and each such holder may elect by written notice received by Xxxxxxx within ten (10) days from the date of the notice by Xxxxxxx to have all or part of his Registrable Securities included in such registration. Upon receipt of such notice, Xxxxxxx will, as soon as practicable, use reasonable efforts to effect the registration on Form S-3 and pursuant to Rule 415 (the "Resale Registration Statement") under the Securities Act of all Registrable Securities which it has been so requested to register covering resales from time to time of such Registrable Securities and Xxxxxxx shall use its reasonable best efforts to: (i) cause the Resale Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter; and (ii) maintain the effectiveness of the Resale Registration Statement continuously until the earliest of: (A) the date on which the Shareholders no longer hold Registrable Securities registered under the Resale Registration Statement or (B) the third anniversary of this Shareholder Agreement or such lesser time as may be permitted under Rule 144 under the Securities Act to enable the Shareholders to sell the Registrable Securities under the Securities Act without such registration. Xxxxxxx: (i) shall not be obligated to cause any special audit to be undertaken in connection with any such registration; (ii) shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time, but not in excess of ninety (90) days, the filing of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared pursuant to this section if Xxxxxxx is, at such time, conducting or about to conduct an underwritten public offering of Equity Securities (or securities convertible into Equity Securities) and is advised in writing by its managing underwriter that such underwritten public offer would, in its opinion, be adversely effected by the registration so requested; and (iii) shall be entitled to postpone such requested registration for up to ninety (90) days if Xxxxxxx determines, in view of the advisability of deferring public disclosure of material corporate developments or other information, that such registration and the disclosure required to be made pursuant thereto would not be in the best interest of Xxxxxxx at such time.
Required Registration The Company shall (i) cause a Shelf Registration Statement to be filed with the SEC (x) within thirty (30) days of the date that a Holder requests the Company to make such filing or (y) on such other date as mutually agreed by the Company and a Holder, and (ii) use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Shelf Registration Statement to be declared effective by the SEC as promptly as possible but in any event no later than sixty (60) days after the Shelf Registration Statement is filed pursuant to clause (i) (the “Shelf Registration”). Each Holder agrees, severally but not jointly, to furnish to the Company (i) in writing, all information with respect to such Holder that the Company reasonably deems required or advisable to be included in the Shelf Registration Statement and any other information necessary to make any such information previously furnished to the Company by such Holder not misleading and (ii) completed and executed selling shareholder questionnaires, powers of attorney, indemnities and other documents reasonably required by the Company at least five (5) days prior to the anticipated filing date. Prior to filing the Shelf Registration Statement and any amendments thereto with the SEC, the Company shall provide drafts thereof to the Purchaser and its counsel, and the Purchaser and its counsel shall be given a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such Shelf Registration Statement. The Shelf Registration Statement, in the form in which it becomes effective, will conform in all material respects with the requirements of the Securities Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder and will not contain 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, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading. The Company agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to keep the Shelf Registration Statement continuously effective for as long as the Holders hold any Registrable Securities. The Company further agrees, if necessary, to promptly supplement or amend the Shelf Registration Statement, if required by the rules, regulations or instructions applicable to the registration form used by the Company for such Shelf Registration Statement or by the Securities Act or by any other rules and regulations thereunder for shelf registrations, and the Company agrees to furnish to the Holders copies of any such supplement or amendment promptly after its being used or filed with the SEC.
Required Registrations At any time or times after the date hereof (so long as IXC shall own Registrable Securities which are not eligible for sale by IXC under Rule 144(k) of the Securities Act), IXC may notify the Company in writing that it (i) intends to offer or cause to be offered for public sale all or any portion of its Registrable Securities (such requests shall be in writing and shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended method of disposition of such shares by IXC) and (ii) request that the Company cause such Registrable Securities to be registered under the Securities Act; provided, however, that IXC may make only three requests for registration under this Section 2.2. Upon receipt of such notification, subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the Company will notify all of the Persons who would be entitled to notice of a proposed registration under Existing Registration Rights or Other Registration Rights of its receipt of such notification. Upon the written request of any such Person delivered to the Company within 30 days after receipt from the Company of such notification, the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities as may be requested by IXC or such securities as may be requested by any such Person to be registered under the Securities Act within 125 days of the notification by IXC, in accordance with the terms of this Section 2.2; provided, however, that unless such registration becomes effective and remains in effect for 60 days, such registration shall not be counted as one of the three requests for registration that may be made by IXC under this Section 2.2. IXC shall have the right to select the investment banker(s) and manager(s) (which shall be of national standing and reputation) to administer any underwritten public offering under this Section 2.2, subject to the execution and delivery by such investment banker(s) to the Company of a confidentiality agreement in form and substance satisfactory to the Company. If requested in writing by the Company, IXC and the other Persons participating in a registration under this Section 2.2 shall negotiate in good faith with any underwriters retained in connection with the underwriting of such registration. In the case of the registration of Registrable Securities in connection with an underwritten public offering under this Section 2.2, if the underwriter determines that the registration of securities in excess of an amount determined by such underwriter would adversely affect such offering, then the Company may (subject to the allocation priority set forth below) exclude from such registration and underwriting some or all of the Registrable Securities and other securities which would otherwise be underwritten pursuant to this Section 2.2. The Company shall advise IXC and the other Persons who requested to participate in such registration promptly after such determination by the underwriter, and the number of securities that are entitled to be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated in the following manner: subject to Section 2.7 hereof, the number of securities that may be included in the registration and underwriting shall be allocated among IXC and such other Persons requesting that Registrable Securities or other securities be included in such registration and underwriting in proportion, as nearly as practicable, to their respective holdings of Registrable Securities and other securities; provided, however, that if the number of Registrable Securities pursuant to such registration shall be reduced to a number which is less than 80% of the number of Registrable Securities as to which IXC requested registration pursuant to this Section 2.2, then such registration shall not be counted as one of the three requests for registration that may be made by IXC under this Section 2.2. All expenses of such registration and offering and the reasonable fees and expenses of one independent counsel for IXC and the other Persons who requested to participate in such registration shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that (i) the Company shall have no liability for such expenses if such registration does not become effective due solely to the action or failure to act of IXC and (ii) IXC and other Persons who requested to participate in such registration shall bear underwriting and selling discounts and commissions attributable to their Registrable Securities or other securities being registered and transfer taxes on shares being sold by them. The Company may postpone the filing of any registration statement required hereunder for a reasonable period of time, not to exceed 90 days during any 12 month period of time, if the Company has been advised by legal counsel that such filing would require the disclosure of a material transaction or other matter and the Company determines reasonably and in good faith that such disclosure would have a material adverse effect on the Company. Notwithstanding anything in this Section 2.2 to the contrary, the Company shall not be required to effect a registration under this Section 2.2 more than 135 days following the end of the Company's fiscal year, if such registration shall require the preparation of audited financial statements for any interim period not otherwise prepared by the Company. If a demand registration is requested during such period, subject to the second preceding sentence, the Company will commence such registration promptly following the end of the next fiscal year. The Company will enter into customary agreements (including underwriting agreements) reasonably acceptable to the Company to facilitate the demand registrations provided for above.
Priority in Requested Registration So long as the Initiating Investors hold at least 25% of the Registrable Securities issued to the Investors on the date of this Agreement, the Company shall have the right to include in any Registration Statement initiated by an Investor pursuant to this Section 1, for sale in accordance with the method of disposition specified by the requesting Investors, Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account. If, in the good-faith judgment of the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering the inclusion of all of the Registrable Securities requested for inclusion pursuant to this Section 1 and the Common Stock proposed to be sold by the Company for its own account would adversely affect the successful marketing of the proposed offering, then the number of shares of Common Stock to be included in the offering shall be reduced to the required level, first, by excluding Common Stock to be sold by the Company for its own account and second, by reducing the participation of such Initiating Investors and other Holders in such offering pro rata among such Initiating Investors and other Holders, based upon the amount of Registrable Securities owned by such Initiating Investors and other Holders. The Company will not cause any other registration statement with respect to its Registrable Securities for its own account to become effective less than 120 days after the effective date of any registration requested pursuant to this Section 1, except in the case of: (i) a registration of securities pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-8 or Form S-4 or any successor form thereto; (ii) any registration statement covering only securities proposed to be issued in exchange for securities or assets of another corporation; (iii) any registration statement relating solely to employee stock option, stock purchase, benefit or similar plans; or (iv) other registrations required under Section 1.
Effective Demand Registration The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Demand Registration to become and remain effective not later than sixty (60) days after it receives a request under Section 3(a) hereof. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration until it has become effective and remains continuously effective for the lesser of (i) the period during which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold or (ii) 120 days; 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.
Selection of Underwriter in Demand Registration The Fund shall (together with all Holders proposing to distribute their securities through the underwriting) enter into an underwriting agreement in customary form for an underwritten offering made solely by selling shareholders with the underwriter or, if more than one, the lead underwriter acting as the representative of the underwriters (the “Underwriters’ Representative”) selected for the underwriting by the Initiating Holder and with the consent of the Fund, not to be unreasonably withheld.
Request for Form S-3 Registration After its initial public offering, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to qualify for registration on Form S-3 or any comparable or successor form or forms. After the Company has qualified for the use of Form S-3, in addition to the rights contained in the foregoing provisions of this Section 2 and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.3, if the Company shall receive from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities a written request that the Company effect any registration on Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement with respect to all or part of the Registrable Securities (such request shall state the number of shares of Registrable Securities to be disposed of and the intended methods of disposition of such shares by such Holder or Holders), the Company will take all such action with respect to such Registrable Securities as required by Section 2.1(a)(i) and (ii).
Priority in Requested Registrations If a requested registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 involves an underwritten offering and the managing underwriter advises the Company in writing that, in its opinion, the number of securities to be included in such registration (including securities of the Company which are not Registrable Securities) would be likely to have an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the securities to be offered in such offering as contemplated by the Holders (an “Adverse Effect”), then the Company shall include in such registration (a) first, 100% of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration by the Demand Party and all other Holders of Registrable Securities pursuant to this Section 4.2 (to the extent that the managing underwriter believes that all such Registrable Securities can be sold in such offering without having an Adverse Effect; provided, that if the managing underwriter does not so believe and the Demand Party does not exercise its right set forth in the second succeeding sentence of this clause (g), such lesser number of Registrable Securities as specified by the Demand Party) and (b) second, to the extent the managing underwriter believes additional securities can be sold in the offering without having an Adverse Effect, the amount of Other Securities requested to be included by Other Holders in such registration, allocated pro rata among all requesting Other Holders on the basis of the relative amount of all Other Securities requested to be included in such registration. In the event that the number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities to be included in such registration is less than the number which, in the opinion of the managing underwriter, can be sold without having an Adverse Effect, the Company may include in such registration the securities the Company proposes to sell up to the number of securities that, in the opinion of such managing underwriter, can be sold without having an Adverse Effect. If the managing underwriter of any underwritten offering shall advise the Holders participating in a registration pursuant to this Section 4.2 that the Registrable Securities covered by the registration statement cannot be sold in such offering within a price range acceptable to the Demand Party, then the Demand Party shall have the right to notify the Company that it has determined that the number of shares to be included in such registration shall be reduced to a number that allows an offering in the price range or that the registration statement be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall effect the reduction, or abandon or withdraw such registration statement; provided, however, that if (i) Holders of Registrable Securities other than the Demand Party are participating in such registration pursuant to Section 4.2(a) or (ii) the Company has included Top-Up Shares in such registration pursuant to Section 4.2(b) and the Demand Party shall have exercised its right to reduce the number of shares to be included or to abandon or withdraw such registration, such other Holders or the Company, as the case may be, shall be permitted to proceed with such registration and its offering of shares thereunder. Any registration attempted to be withdrawn by a Demand Party pursuant to the preceding sentence shall not be counted as the Demand Party’s registration demand provided in Section 4.2(a)(ii) and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith.
Demand Registration At any time that the shelf registration statement required pursuant to Section 5.1 shall not be available for the resale of the Registrable Securities, including if for any reason the Company shall be ineligible to maintain or use a shelf registration statement, the Company shall, as promptly as reasonably practicable following the written request of a Requesting Stockholder for registration under the Securities Act of all or part of the Registrable Securities (a “Demand Request”), file a registration statement with the SEC (a “Demand Registration Statement”) with respect to resales of the Registrable Securities pursuant to the Requesting Stockholder’s intended method of distribution thereof, and shall, subject to the terms of this Article V, use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Demand Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act promptly after the filing thereof; provided that such Demand Registration Statement shall be filed on (a) Form S-3, if the Company is then S-3 Eligible, or (b) any other appropriate form under the Securities Act for the type of offering contemplated by the Requesting Stockholder, if the Company is not then S-3 Eligible. Each Demand Request shall specify the Registrable Securities to be registered, their aggregate amount, and the intended method or methods of distribution thereof. The Requesting Stockholder agrees to provide the Company with such information in connection with a Demand Request as may be reasonably requested by the Company to ensure that the Demand Registration Statement complies with the requirements of the Securities Act.
Limitations on Requested Registration The Company shall not be obligated to effect, or to take any action to effect, any such registration pursuant to this Section 2.1:
