Registrations on Form S-3 The Holders of Registrable Securities may at any time, and from time to time, request in writing that the Company, pursuant to Rule 415 under the Securities Act (or any successor rule promulgated thereafter by the Commission), register the resale of any or all of their Registrable Securities on Form S-3 or any similar short form registration statement that may be available at such time (“Form S-3”); provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect such request through an Underwritten Offering. Within five (5) days of the Company’s receipt of a written request from a Holder or Holders of Registrable Securities for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall promptly give written notice of the proposed Registration on Form S-3 to all other Holders of Registrable Securities, and each Holder of Registrable Securities who thereafter wishes to include all or a portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities in such Registration on Form S-3 shall so notify the Company, in writing, within ten (10) days after the receipt by the Holder of the notice from the Company. As soon as practicable thereafter, but not more than twelve (12) days after the Company’s initial receipt of such written request for a Registration on Form S-3, the Company shall register all or such portion of such Holder’s Registrable Securities as are specified in such written request, together with all or such portion of Registrable Securities of any other Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in the written notification given by such Holder or Holders; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any such Registration pursuant to Section 2.3 hereof if (i) a Form S-3 is not available for such offering; or (ii) the Holders of Registrable Securities, together with the Holders of any other equity securities of the Company entitled to inclusion in such Registration, propose to sell the Registrable Securities and such other equity securities (if any) at any aggregate price to the public of less than $10,000,000.
Registration on Form S-3 (a) If any Holder or Holders of at least twenty percent (20%) of the then outstanding Registrable Securities or Bayer or any assignee thereof in accordance with the Warrant Agreement requests that the Company file a registration statement on Form S-3 (or any successor form to Form S-3) for a public offering of shares of the Registrable Securities, the reasonably anticipated aggregate price to the public of which, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, would exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), and the Company is a registrant entitled to use Form S-3 to register the Registrable Securities for such an offering, the Company shall use its commercially reasonable best efforts to cause such Registrable Securities to be registered for the offering on such form. The Company will (i) promptly give written notice of the proposed registration to all other Holders, and (ii) as soon as practicable, but in no event later than sixty (60) days following the request, use its commercially reasonable best efforts to effect such registration (including, without limitation, the execution of an undertaking to file post-effective amendments, appropriate qualification under applicable blue sky or other state securities laws and appropriate compliance with applicable regulations issued under the Securities Act and any other governmental requirements or regulations) as may be so requested and as would permit or facilitate the sale and distribution of all or such portion of such Registrable Securities as are specified in such request, together with all or such portion of the Registrable Securities of any Holder or Holders joining in such request as are specified in a written request received by the Company within twenty (20) days after receipt of written notice from the Company. The substantive provisions of Subsection 2.5(b) shall be applicable to each registration initiated under this Subsection 2.7. (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall not be obligated to take any action pursuant to this Subsection 2.7: (i) in any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification or compliance unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; (ii) in a given twelve month period, after the Company has effected two (2) such registrations pursuant to subparagraph 2.7(a); or (iii) if the Company shall furnish to such Holders a certificate signed by the President of the Company stating that, in the good faith judgment of the Board, it would be seriously detrimental to the Company or its stockholders for registration statements to be filed in the near future, then the Company’s obligation to use its commercially reasonable best efforts to file a registration statement shall be deferred for up to two periods of sixty (60) days each, such sixty (60) day periods not to exceed one hundred twenty (120) days from the receipt of the request to file such registration by such Holder or Holders. The Company shall not defer its obligation in this manner more than once in any twelve-month period.
Limitations on Demand Registrations (a) Each holder of the Registrable Securities that owns at least 20,000 shares of Series 2 Preferred shall be entitled to (i) either one (1) Long-Form Demand Registration or one (1) Short-Form Demand Registration in accordance with Section 1.1(a) and (ii) any number of Shelf Registrations. (b) The Company shall be entitled to postpone for a reasonable period of time not to exceed forty-five (45) days the declaration of effectiveness by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC") of any registration statement otherwise required to be prepared and filed by it if, at the time it receives a Demand Registration request or at any time during the process of registration, prior to being declared effective by the SEC, the Board of Directors of the Company determines, in its reasonable good faith judgment, that such registration would materially interfere with a business or financial transaction of substantial importance to the Company (other than an underwritten public offering of its securities), including, without limitation, any such transaction involving a material acquisition, consolidation, merger or corporate reorganization then pending or proposed by its Board of Directors involving the Company, and the Company promptly gives the holders of the Registrable Securities written notice of such determination, containing a general statement of the reasons for such postponement and an approximation of the anticipated delay; provided, however, that the Company shall not be entitled to postpone filing a registration statement in response to a Demand Registration for the twelve (12) months following the expiration of such forty-five day period. In the event the effectiveness of any registration statement is postponed pursuant to this paragraph, the holder or holders of the Registrable Securities making a registration request shall have the right to withdraw such Demand Registration request by giving written notice to the Company within thirty (30) days after receipt of the notice of postponement (and, in the event of such withdrawal, the right of the holders of the Registrable Securities to such Demand Registration shall be reinstated).
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.
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 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: (i) Prior to the earlier of (A) the four (4) year anniversary of the date of this Agreement or (B) six (6) months following the effective date of the Company’s Initial Public Offering; (ii) In any particular jurisdiction in which the Company would be required to execute a general consent to service of process in effecting such registration, qualification, or compliance, unless the Company is already subject to service in such jurisdiction and except as may be required by the Securities Act; (iii) After the Company has initiated two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.1 (counting for these purposes only (1) registrations where at least 75% of the Registrable Securities requested to be registered are in fact registered and which have been declared or ordered effective and pursuant to which securities have been sold, and (2) registrations that closed, or were withdrawn at the request of the Holders (other than as a result of a material adverse change to the Company)); or (iv) During the period starting with the date sixty (60) days prior to the Company’s good faith estimate of the date of filing of, and ending on a date ninety (90) days (or in the case of the Company’s Initial Public Offering, one hundred eighty (180) days) after the effective date of, a Company-initiated registration (other than a registration relating solely to employee benefit plans); provided that (A) the Company is actively employing in good faith best efforts to cause such registration statement to become effective and, (B) with respect to any request for registration pursuant to Section 2.1(a) received prior the date of filing of such Company-initiated registration, the Company shall have delivered written notice to the holders of Registrable Securities of its intent to file such registration within thirty (30) days after its receipt of such request.
Certain Limitations on Registration Rights In the case of any registration under Section 2.1 involving an underwritten offering, or, in the case of a registration under Section 2.2, if the Company has determined to enter into an underwriting agreement in connection therewith, all securities to be included in such underwritten offering shall be subject to such underwriting agreement and no Person may participate in such underwritten offering unless such Person (i) agrees to sell such Person’s securities on the basis provided therein and completes and executes all reasonable questionnaires, and other documents (including custody agreements and powers of attorney) which must be executed in connection therewith; provided, however, that all such documents shall be consistent with the provisions hereof and (ii) provides such other information to the Company or the underwriter as may be necessary to register such Person’s securities.
Restrictions on Demand Registrations The Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within six (6) months after the effective date of a previous Demand Registration or a previous registration under which the Initiating Holders had piggyback rights pursuant to Section 3 hereof wherein the Initiating Holders were permitted to register, and sold, at least 50% of the shares of Registrable Common Stock requested to be included therein. The Company may (i) postpone for up to ninety (90) days the filing or the effectiveness of a Registration Statement for a Demand Registration if, based on the good faith judgment of the Company’s board of directors, such postponement or withdrawal is necessary in order to avoid premature disclosure of a matter the board has determined would not be in the best interest of the Company to be disclosed at such time or (ii) postpone the filing of a Demand Registration in the event the Company shall be required to prepare audited financial statements as of a date other than its fiscal year and (unless the Holders requesting such registration agree to pay the expenses of such an audit); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company withdraw a Registration Statement under clause (i) after such Registration Statement has been declared effective; and provided, further, however, that in any of the events described in clause (i) or (ii) above, the Initiating Holders requesting such Demand Registration shall be entitled to withdraw such request. The Company shall provide written notice to the Initiating Holders requesting such Demand Registration of (x) any postponement or withdrawal of the filing or effectiveness of a Registration Statement pursuant to this Section 2(c), (y) the Company’s decision to file or seek effectiveness of such Registration Statement following such withdrawal or postponement and (z) the effectiveness of such Registration Statement.
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.
Limitations on Subsequent Registration Rights From and after the date of this Agreement, the Company shall not, without the prior written consent of Holders holding a majority of the Registrable Securities enter into any agreement with any holder or prospective holder of any securities of the Company giving such holder or prospective holder any registration rights the terms of which are pari passu with or senior to the registration rights granted to the Holders hereunder.
