Initial Registration The Company shall file a Registration Statement under the Securities Act promptly, but in any event within thirty (30) days following the Closing, to permit the public resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders from time to time as permitted by Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor or similar provision adopted by the Commission then in effect) (“Rule 415”) on the terms and conditions specified in this subsection 2.1.1 and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the filing deadline (the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, that the Effectiveness Deadline shall be extended to ninety (90) days after the filing deadline if the Registration Statement is reviewed by, and receives comments from, the Commission. The Registration Statement filed with the Commission pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall be a shelf registration statement on Form S-1 (a “Form S-1”) or such other form of registration statement as is then available to effect a registration for resale of such Registrable Securities, covering such Registrable Securities, and shall contain a Prospectus in such form as to permit any Holder to sell such Registrable Securities pursuant to Rule 415 at any time beginning on the effective date for such Registration Statement. A Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 shall provide for the resale pursuant to any method or combination of methods legally available to, and requested by, the Holders. The Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 to remain effective, and to be supplemented and amended to the extent necessary to ensure that such Registration Statement is available or, if not available, that another Registration Statement is available, for the resale of all the Registrable Securities held by the Holders until all such Registrable Securities have ceased to be Registrable Securities. As soon as practicable following the effective date of a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1, but in any event within two (2) business days of such date, the Company shall notify the Holders of the effectiveness of such Registration Statement. When effective, a Registration Statement filed pursuant to this subsection 2.1.1 (including the documents incorporated therein by reference) will comply as to form in all material respects with all applicable requirements of the Securities Act and the Exchange Act and will not contain a Misstatement.
Effectiveness of Registration Statement; Compliance with Registration Requirements; No Stop Order During the period from and after the execution of this Agreement to and including the Closing Date or the Option Closing Date, as applicable:
Initial Registration Statement Promptly following the closing of the Merger Agreement and Plan of Reorganization dated as of January ____, 2007, among the Corporation, Elite FX, Inc., and other parties named therein (the "Closing Date") (but no later than one hundred and eight (180) days after the Closing Date), the Corporation shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed and declared effective as soon as reasonably practicable (but in no event later than 30 days after the SEC issues a no review letter) a registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and the rules promulgated thereunder (the "1933 Act"), covering the resale of the Registrable Securities held by the Subscribers, Nugent, Baudanza, Horn and Investa, if any, plus the number of shares of Common Stock necessary to permit the exercise in full of the Penalty Warrants outstanding or issuable on the date of filing. At the time the Registration Statement is declared effective, the Registration Statement shall include all shares of Common Stock exercisable under all Penalty Warrants outstanding or issuable at such time, if any. Such Registration Statement also shall cover, to the extent allowable under the 1933 Act (including Rule 416), such indeterminate number of additional shares of Common Stock resulting from stock splits, stock dividends or similar transactions with respect to the Registrable Securities. No securities held by a third party shall be included in such Registration Statement without the consent of the Subscribers. The Registration Statement (and each amendment or supplement thereto, and each request for acceleration of effectiveness thereof) shall be provided in accordance with Section 3(c) hereof to the Subscribers and their counsel prior to its filing or other submission. If a Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities is not filed with the SEC within one hundred and eighty (180) days of the Closing Date (the "Registration Date"), except as excused pursuant to Section 2(d) below, for each 30-day period (or pro rata for any portion thereof) following the Registration Date during which no Registration Statement is filed with respect to the Registrable Securities, the Corporation will issue Penalty Warrants as set forth in Section 8 below in respect of any Registrable Shares still held by any Subscriber, Nugent, Baudanza, Horn or Investa, if any; provided, however, that no Penalty Warrants shall be issuable to any Subscriber, Nugent, Baudanza, Horn or to Investa in the event such party does not hold or no longer holds Registrable Securities at the time any Penalty Warrants are to be issued.
Additional Registration Statement To the extent that the Registration Statement is not available for the sales of the Shares as contemplated by this Agreement, the Company shall file a new registration statement with respect to any additional shares of Common Stock necessary to complete such sales of the Shares and shall cause such registration statement to become effective as promptly as practicable. After the effectiveness of any such registration statement, all references to “Registration Statement” included in this Agreement shall be deemed to include such new registration statement, including all documents incorporated by reference therein pursuant to Item 12 of Form S-3, and all references to “Base Prospectus” included in this Agreement shall be deemed to include the final form of prospectus, including all documents incorporated therein by reference, included in any such registration statement at the time such registration statement became effective.
Registration on Request (i) At any time (x) after the third anniversary of the date of the Closing, upon the written request of Shareholders holding in the aggregate 40% of all Registrable Securities then held by Shareholders (assuming for this purpose exercise of all outstanding Warrants) or (y) after an initial public offering, upon the written request of Shareholders holding in the aggregate 10% of all Registrable Securities then held by Shareholders (assuming for this purpose the exercise of all outstanding Warrants) (such Shareholders being referred to as the “Requesting Holders”), the Requesting Holders may request that the Company either (i) effect the registration under the Securities Act for an underwritten public offering of all or part of the Registrable Securities held by them (the “Single Registration Option”), (ii) effect the registration of all or any of their Registrable Securities by filing a registration statement under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Registration Statement”) which provides for the sale by the Requesting Holders of their Registrable Securities from time to time in underwritten public offerings pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (the “Shelf Option”), or (iii) permit the sale of Registrable Securities that are already included in an effective Shelf Registration Statement pursuant to an underwritten public offering (the “Takedown Option”); provided, however, that the Requesting Holders may not elect the Shelf Option or the Takedown Option if the request thereunder is in connection with or would constitute an initial public offering. Upon receipt of such request, the Company will promptly give written notice to all other holders of Registrable Securities (the “Other Holders”) that a request for registration or for a takedown has been received. For a period of 10 days (or two Business Days in the case of a Takedown Option request) following receipt of such notice, the Other Holders may request that the Company also register their Registrable Securities (or include Registrable Securities in such takedown) and the Company may determine to include its authorized and unissued securities in such registration or takedown. The failure of any Other Holder to affirmatively indicate its intent to include its Registrable Securities in such registration or takedown shall be deemed a waiver of any right to so include such Registrable Securities in such registration statement or takedown. After the expiration of such 10-day period or two-Business Day period, as the case may be, the Company shall notify all holders of the number of Registrable Securities to be registered or included. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, in the case of either the Single Registration Option or the Shelf Option, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause the prompt registration under the Securities Act of (A) the Registrable Securities that the Requesting Holders and the Other Holders have requested the Company to register, and (B) all other securities that the Company has determined to register, and in connection therewith will prepare and file a registration statement under the Securities Act to effect such registration. Such registration statement shall be on such appropriate registration form of the Commission as shall be selected by the Company, and such selection shall be reasonably acceptable to the holders of a majority of the aggregate Registrable Securities to be sold by the Requesting Holders. Subject to the provisions of this Section 3, in the case of a Takedown Option, the Company shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause all Registrable Securities so requested to be included in such underwritten public offering and shall prepare and file any prospectus supplement reasonably necessary to effectuate a takedown. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company will not be required to file a registration statement or proceed with a takedown in any of the following situations:
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:
Registration Requirement Notwithstanding anything else in this Section 6, no Warrants (including any Private Warrants) may be exercised unless at the time of exercise (i) a registration statement covering the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise (other than Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Private Warrant) is effective under the Act and (ii) a prospectus thereunder relating to the Warrant Shares (other than Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Private Warrant) is current. The Company shall use its best efforts to have a registration statement in effect covering Warrant Shares issuable upon exercise of the Warrants (other than Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Private Warrant) from the date the Warrants become exercisable and to maintain a current prospectus relating to those Warrant Shares until the Warrants expire or are redeemed. In the event that, at the end of the Warrant Exercise Period, a registration statement covering the Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise (other than Warrant Shares to be issued upon exercise of any Private Warrant) is not effective under the Act, all the rights of holders hereunder shall terminate and all of the Warrants shall expire unexercised and worthless, and as a result purchasers of the Units will have paid the full Unit price solely for the share of Common Stock included in each Unit. In no event shall the Warrants be settled on a net cash basis nor shall the Company be required to issue unregistered shares upon the exercise of any Warrant that is not a Private Warrant.
Maintaining a Registration Statement The Company shall maintain the effectiveness of any Registration Statement that has been declared effective at all times during the Commitment Period, provided, however, that if the Company has received notification pursuant to Section 2.04 that the Investor has completed resales pursuant to the Registration Statement for the full Commitment Amount, then the Company shall be under no further obligation to maintain the effectiveness of the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Company shall ensure that, when filed, each Registration Statement (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) and the prospectus (including, without limitation, all amendments and supplements thereto) used in connection with such Registration Statement 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 the case of prospectuses, in the light of the circumstances in which they were made) not misleading. During the Commitment Period, the Company shall notify the Investor promptly if (i) the Registration Statement shall cease to be effective under the Securities Act, (ii) the Common Shares shall cease to be authorized for listing on the Principal Market, (iii) the Common Shares cease to be registered under Section 12(b) or Section 12(g) of the Exchange Act or (iv) the Company fails to file in a timely manner all reports and other documents required of it as a reporting company under the Exchange Act.
Suspension of Registration Statement If subsequent to -------------------------------------- any Closing, the Registration Statement is suspended, other than due to the acts of the Investor or the Placement Agent, for any period exceeding twenty trading days (20) days, the Company shall pay an amount equal to two percent (2 %) of the Purchase Price of all Common Stock held by the Investor, purchased pursuant to this Agreement for each twenty trading day (20) day period or portion thereof; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay such -------- ------- amount to the Investor in connection with any period commencing upon the filing of a post-effective amendment to such Registration Statement and ending upon the date on which such post-effective amendment is declared effective by the SEC.
Resale Registration Statement Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Company will provide to the Purchasers the resale registration rights described in the Registration Rights Agreement.
