Demand Registration Rights At any time after the date two years after the Closing Date, the holders of a majority of the shares of VPI Stock issued to the Founding Stockholders pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements which have not been previously registered or sold and which are not entitled to be sold under Rule 144(k) (or any similar or successor provision) promulgated under the 1933 Act may request in writing (the "Demand Registration Request") that VPI file a registration statement under the 1933 Act covering the registration of up to all of the shares of VPI Stock issued to the STOCKHOLDERS pursuant to this Agreement and the Other Agreements then held by such Founding Stockholders (a "Demand Registration"). Within ten (10) days of the receipt of the Demand Registration Request, VPI shall give written notice of such request to all other Founding Stockholders and shall, as soon as practicable but in no event later than 45 days after the Demand Registration Request, file and use its best efforts to cause to become effective a registration statement covering all shares requested to be registered pursuant to this Section 17.2. VPI shall be obligated to effect only one Demand Registration for all Founding Stockholders. Notwithstanding the foregoing paragraph, following the Demand Registration Request a majority of VPI's disinterested directors (i.e., directors who have not demanded or elected to sell shares in any such public offering) may defer the filing of the registration statement for a 60-day period if such deferral is deemed by such directors to be in the best interests of VPI. If immediately prior to the Demand Registration Request VPI has fixed plans to file within 60 days after receipt of the Demand Registration Request a registration statement covering the sale of any of its securities in a public offering under the 1933 Act, no registration of the Founding Stockholders' VPI Stock shall be initiated under this Section 17.2 until 90 days after the effective date of such registration unless VPI is no longer proceeding diligently to effect such registration (in which case the delay contemplated by this sentence would not be applicable); provided that VPI shall provide the Founding Stockholders the right to participate in such public offering pursuant to, and subject to, Section 17.1 hereof.
Registration Right The Warrant Securities are subject to the terms of a Registration Rights Agreement. Upon request, a copy of the Registration Rights Agreement is available, without charge, from the Company.
Registration Rights No Person has any right to cause the Company or any Subsidiary to effect the registration under the Securities Act of any securities of the Company or any Subsidiary.
Registration Rights; Rights of Participation Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b) to the Registration Rights Agreement, 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 which has not been satisfied. Except as set forth on Schedule 6(b) to the Registration Rights Agreement, no Person has any right of first refusal, preemptive right, right of participation, or any similar right to participate in the transactions contemplated by the Transaction Documents.
Registration Rights Transfer a. The Company agrees that, within seventy-five (75) calendar days after the Closing, the Company will file with the Commission (at the Company’s sole cost and expense) a registration statement registering the resale of the Class A Acquired Shares (the “Registration Statement”), and the Company shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to have the Registration Statement declared effective as soon as practicable after the filing thereof, but no later than the earlier of (i) the 90th calendar day following the filing thereof and (ii) the 10th business day after the date the Company is notified (orally or in writing, whichever is earlier) by the Commission that the Registration Statement will not be “reviewed” or will not be subject to further review (such earlier date, the “Effectiveness Deadline”); provided, however, that the Company’s obligations to include the Class A Acquired Shares in the Registration Statement are contingent upon Subscriber furnishing in writing to the Company such information regarding Subscriber, the securities of the Company held by Subscriber and the intended method of disposition of the Class A Acquired Shares as shall be reasonably requested by the Company to effect the registration of the Class A Acquired Shares, and shall execute such documents in connection with such registration as the Company may reasonably request that are customary of a selling stockholder in similar situations.
Piggy-Back Registration Rights 10.1 In the event that the Company proposes to register any Registrable Securities under the Securities Act (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or Form S-8, or any successor forms thereto, promulgated under the Securities Act), for the account of TopCo Parent (or the Apollo Funds if such Apollo Funds are direct holders of Common Stock) the Company shall give the Holders written notice (the “Piggy-Back Notice”) of its intention to effect such a registration at least ten (10) days before the anticipated filing date. Subject to Section 10.2, such Holders shall have the right (the “Piggy-Back Registration Right”) to request that the Company use its reasonable best efforts to cause all the Registrable Securities specified in a written request by the Holders and delivered to the Company within ten (10) days after the giving of such Piggy-Back Notice by the Company to be included in such registration on the same terms and conditions as the Registrable Securities otherwise being sold in such registration. The Holders shall be entitled to request to include in such Registration Statement a number of Registrable Securities equal to the product of (x) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned by such Holder as of the date of the Piggy-Back Notice (or at the Company’s option, as of the date such Registration Statement is filed) and (y) the ratio of (i) the number of shares of Common Stock proposed to be included in such Registration Statement that are owned, directly or indirectly, by the Apollo Funds to (ii) the aggregate number of shares of Common Stock owned, directly or indirectly, by the Apollo Funds that are outstanding as of the date of the Piggy-Back Notice (or at the Company’s option, as of the date such Registration Statement is filed). If at any time after giving written notice of its intention to register any Registrable Securities and prior to the effective date of the Registration Statement filed in connection with such registration, the Company determines for any reason not to proceed with the proposed registration, the Company may at its election give written notice of such determination to the Holders and thereupon shall be relieved of its obligation to register any Registrable Securities in connection with such registration. A Holder shall be permitted to withdraw all or part of its Registrable Securities from a registration pursuant to this Section 10.1 at any time prior to the effectiveness of such Registration Statement except in an underwritten offering where such Holder has previously committed to the underwriters that it would participate in such offering.
Registration Rights Granted The Company hereby grants registration rights to the Purchaser pursuant to a Registration Rights Agreement dated as of even date herewith between the Company and the Purchaser.
Unlimited Piggy-Back Registration Rights For purposes of clarity, any Registration effected pursuant to Section 2.2 hereof shall not be counted as a Registration pursuant to a Demand Registration effected under Section 2.1 hereof.
No Preemptive Rights, Registration Rights or Options Except as described in the Disclosure Package and the Prospectus, there are no (i) preemptive rights or other rights to subscribe for or to purchase, nor any restriction upon the voting or transfer of, any equity interests in the Partnership Entities or (ii) outstanding options or warrants to purchase any securities of the Partnership Entities. Neither the filing of the Registration Statement nor the offering or sale of the Units as contemplated by this Agreement gives rise to any rights for or relating to the registration of any Common Units or other securities of the Partnership.
Right to Demand Registration Commencing June 30, 2002, at any time or from time to time when the Shelf Registration Statement provided for in Section 2.1 has not become or is not effective under the Securities Act (including, but not limited to, if the Company is not eligible to effect a continuous offering using a Form S-3 registration statement in reliance upon Rule 415 under the Securities Act or any comparable successor form, Rule or statute), the Majority Holders shall have the right to request in writing that the Company register all or part of such Holders' Registrable Securities (a "Request") (which Request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by such Holders and the intended method or methods of disposition thereof) by filing with the SEC a Demand Registration Statement. As promptly as practicable, but no later than 10 days after receipt of a Request, the Company shall give written notice of such requested registration to all Holders of Registrable Securities. Subject to Section 2.2(b), the Company shall include in a Demand Registration (i) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by the Initiating Holders and (ii) the Registrable Securities intended to be disposed of by any other Holder and shares of Common Stock of any Person that has analogous incidental or "piggyback" registration rights which in either case shall have made a written request (which request shall specify the amount of Registrable Securities or shares of Common Stock to be registered) to the Company for inclusion thereof in such registration within 20 days after the receipt of such written notice from the Company. The Company shall, as expeditiously as possible following a Request, use its reasonable best efforts to cause to be filed with the SEC a Demand Registration Statement providing for the registration under the Securities Act of the Registrable Securities which the Company has been so requested to register by all such Holders, to the extent necessary to permit the disposition of such Registrable Securities so to be registered in accordance with the intended method of disposition thereof specified in such Request. The Company shall use its best efforts to have such Demand Registration Statement declared effective by the SEC as soon as practicable thereafter and to keep such Demand Registration Statement continuously effective for the period specified in Section 4.1(b). A Request may be withdrawn prior to the filing of the Demand Registration Statement by the Majority Holders of the Registration (a "Withdrawn Request") and a Demand Registration Statement may be withdrawn prior to the effectiveness thereof by the Majority Holders of the Registration (a "Withdrawn Demand Registration"), and such withdrawals shall be treated as a Demand Registration which shall have been effected pursuant to this Section 2.2, unless the Holders of Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement reimburse the Company for its reasonable out-of-pocket Registration Expenses relating to the preparation and filing of such Demand Registration Statement (to the extent actually incurred); provided, however, that if a Withdrawn Request or Withdrawn Demand Registration is made (A) because of a material adverse change in the business, financial condition or prospects of the Company determined, in the case of an Underwritten Offering, by the sole or lead managing Underwriter in its reasonable discretion, or (B) because the sole or lead managing Underwriter advises that the amount of Registrable Securities to be sold in such offering be reduced pursuant to Section 2.2(b) by more than 33% of the Registrable Securities to be included in such Registration Statement, or (C) because of a postponement of such registration pursuant to Section 2.6, then such withdrawal shall not be treated as a Demand Registration effected pursuant to this Section 2.2 (and shall not be counted toward the number of Demand Registrations), and the Company shall pay all Registration Expenses in connection therewith. Any Holder requesting inclusion in a Demand Registration may, at any time prior to the effective date of the Demand Registration Statement (and for any reason) revoke such request by delivering written notice to the Company revoking such requested inclusion. No more than three Requests may be made by all Holders in the aggregate pursuant to this Section 2.2; provided that the Company shall not be obligated to effect any Demand Registration within six months of the effectiveness of any other Demand Registration Statement. The registration rights granted pursuant to the provisions of this Section 2.2 shall be in addition to the registration rights granted pursuant to the other provisions of Article II hereof.
