Number of Demand Registrations The Holder will be entitled to request one Demand Registration pursuant to which the Registrable Securities shall be registered and in which the Company will pay all Registration Expenses. A registration will not count as the Demand Registration (i) until it has become effective (unless such Demand Registration has not become effective due solely to the fault of the holder requesting such registration) and (ii) unless the holder of the Registrable Securities requested to be included in such registration (unless such holder is not so able to register such amount of the Registrable Securities due solely to the fault of such holder) are included; provided, however, that in any event the Company will pay all Registration Expenses in connection with any registration initiated as a Demand Registration subject to this Section 1.2.
Maximum Number of Demand Registrations The Company is obligated to effect only two (2) such registrations pursuant to this Section 2.2.
Effective Demand Registration The Company shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause any such Demand Registration to be filed not later than thirty (30) days after it receives a request under Section 3(a) hereof and to become and remain effective as soon as practicable thereafter but, in any event, not later than ninety (90) days (or, if the Company is eligible to effect such registration on Form S-3, sixty (60) days) after such filing. A registration shall not constitute a Demand Registration unless it has become effective and remains continuously effective until the earlier of the date (i) on which all Registrable Securities registered in the Demand Registration are sold and (ii) that is the second anniversary of the effectiveness of the Registration Statement relating to such Demand Registration; 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.
Not Demand Registration Registration pursuant to this Section 2.4 shall not be deemed to be a demand registration as described in Section 2.3 above. There shall be no limit on the number of times the Holders may request registration of Registrable Securities under this Section 2.4.
Effective Period of Demand Registrations After any Demand Registration filed pursuant to this Agreement has become effective, the Company shall use its best efforts to keep such Demand Registration effective for a period equal to 180 days from the date on which the SEC declares such Demand Registration effective (or if such Demand Registration is not effective during any period within such 180 days, such 180-day period shall be extended by the number of days during such period when such Demand Registration is not effective), or such shorter period which shall terminate when all of the Registrable Common Stock covered by such Demand Registration has been sold pursuant to such Demand Registration. If the Company shall withdraw any Demand Registration pursuant to subsection (d) of this Section 2 (a "Withdrawn Demand Registration"), the Initiating Holders of the Registrable Common Stock remaining unsold and originally covered by such Withdrawn Demand Registration shall be entitled to a replacement Demand Registration which (subject to the provisions of this Section 2) the Company shall use its best efforts to keep effective for a period commencing on the effective date of such Demand Registration and ending on the earlier to occur of the date (i) which is 180 days from the effective date of such Demand Registration and (ii) on which all of the Registrable Common Stock covered by such Demand Registration has been sold. Such additional Demand Registration otherwise shall be subject to all of the provisions of this Agreement.
Demand Registration Rights (a) The Company, upon written demand (“Demand Notice”) of the Majority Holders, agrees to register on one occasion all of the Registrable Securities. On such occasion, the Company will file a registration statement or a post-effective amendment to the Registration Statement covering the Registrable Securities within forty-five (45) days after receipt of a Demand Notice and use its Reasonable Best Efforts to have such registration statement or post-effective amendment declared effective as soon as possible thereafter; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to comply with a Demand Notice if the Company has filed a registration statement with respect to which the Holder is entitled to piggyback registration rights pursuant to Section 8.3 hereof and either: (i) the Holder has elected to participate in the offering covered by such registration statement or (ii) if such registration statement relates to an underwritten primary offering of securities of the Company, until the offering covered by such registration statement has been withdrawn or until thirty (30) days after such offering is consummated. The demand for registration may be made at any time during a period of four years beginning one (1) year from the Base Date. The Company covenants and agrees to give written notice of its receipt of any Demand Notice by any Holder(s) to all other registered Holders of the Warrants and/or the Registrable Securities within ten days from the date of the receipt of any such Demand Notice.
(b) The Company shall bear all fees and expenses attendant to registering the Registrable Securities pursuant to Section 8.2(a), but the Holders shall pay all any and all underwriting commissions and the expenses of any legal counsel selected by the Holders to represent them in connection with the sale of the Registrable Securities. The Company agrees to use its Reasonable Best Efforts to qualify or register the Registrable Securities in such states as are reasonably requested by the Majority Holder(s); provided, however, that in no event shall the Company be required to register the Registrable Securities in a state in which such registration would cause (i) the Company to be obligated to register, license or qualify to do business in such state, submit to general service of process in such state or would subject the Company to taxation as a foreign corporation doing business in such jurisdiction or (ii) the principal stockholders of the Company to be obligated to escrow their shares of capital stock of the Company. The Company shall cause any registration statement or post-effective amendment filed pursuant to the demand right granted under Section 8(a) to remain effective for a period of nine consecutive months from the effective date of such registration statement or post-effective amendment. The Holders shall only use the prospectuses provided by the Company to sell the Registrable Securities covered by such registration statement, and will immediately cease to use any prospectus furnished by the Company if the Company advises the Holder that such prospectus may no longer be used due to a material misstatement or omission.
Request for Demand Registration To the extent permitted by applicable law and regulations, and subject to Section 6 hereof on up to a maximum of two occasions, at any time on or after the first anniversary of the date hereof, any Crestview Holder (in each case, a “Demand Initiating Holder”) may make a written request to the Company to register, and the Company shall register, under the Securities Act (other than pursuant to a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8), in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (a “Demand Registration”), the number of Registrable Securities stated in such request; provided, however, that the Company shall not be obligated to effect (i) a Demand Registration if the Demand Initiating Holders, together with the Designated Holders (other than the Demand Initiating Holders) that have requested to register securities in such registration statement pursuant to Section 3(b), propose to sell Registrable Securities having aggregate Face Value (as such term is defined in the Merger Agreement) of less than $30,000,000, and (ii) any Demand Registration within the Specified Period (or such shorter period as the Company may determine in its sole discretion) after the effective date of any other Registration Statement of the Company (other than a Registration Statement on Form S-4 or S-8); provided, further, that a Demand Registration shall be deemed not to have been effected if (i) after it has become effective, such registration statement is interfered with by any stop order, injunction or other order or requirement of the Commission or other governmental authority for any reason other than a misrepresentation or an omission by a Designated Holder affiliated with the Demand Initiating Holder, (ii) the registration statement does not remain effective for the period specified in Section 3(c), or (iii) in the event of an underwritten offering, if the conditions to closing specified in the purchase agreement or underwriting agreement entered into in connection with such registration are not satisfied or waived other than by reason of some wrongful act or omission by a Designated Holder affiliated with the Demand Initiating Holder. In addition, if (1) the Board of Directors, in its good faith judgment, determines that any registration of Registrable Securities should not be made or continued because it would materially impede, delay or interfere with any proposed financing, offer and sale of securities, acquisition, merger, tender offer, business combination, corporate reorganization, material operational development or other significant transaction involving the Company or because such registration would require the Company to disclose material nonpublic information that would not otherwise be required to be disclosed under applicable law, and (2) the Company has a bona fide business purpose for preserving the confidentiality of such proposed transaction or information (a “Valid Business Reason”), (x) the Company may postpone filing a Registration Statement (but not the preparation of the Registration Statement) relating to a Demand Registration until such Valid Business Reason no longer exists or, if later, the occurrence of the Valid Business Reason (but in no event may the duration of such postponement last for more than 45 days after the date when the Demand Registration was requested), and (y) in case a Registration Statement has been filed relating to a Demand Registration, the Company may postpone amending or supplementing such Registration Statement (in which case, if the Valid Business Reason no longer exists or if more than 45 days have passed since such postponement, the Demand Initiating Holder may request a new Demand Registration (which request shall not be counted as an additional Demand Registration for purposes of this Section 3(a)) or request the prompt amendment or supplement of such Registration Statement). The Company shall give written notice to the Demand Initiating Holder of each of its determination to postpone filing, amending or supplementing a Registration Statement, and of the fact that the Valid Business Reason for such postponement no longer exists or has occurred, as applicable, in each case, promptly after the occurrence thereof. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Company may not postpone a filing, amendment or supplement under this Section 3(a) due to a Valid Business Reason for more than 90 days in any 12-month period. Each request for a Demand Registration by the Demand Initiating Holder shall state the type and amount of the Registrable Securities proposed to be sold and the intended method of disposition thereof, which may include a distribution of Registrable Securities to, and resale of such Registrable Securities by, the equity holders of any Crestview Holder or its equity holders (a “Partner Distribution”). The Demand Registration may be a shelf registration pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the Securities Act, in which case the provisions of Section 5(f) shall apply.
Demand Registrations (a) At any time (x) on or after December 31, 2015 one or more Holders Beneficially Owning Registrable Securities (A) representing at least fifteen percent (15%) of the then-outstanding shares of Registrable Securities or (B) that are reasonably expected to result in aggregate gross cash proceeds in excess of $50 million (without regard to any underwriting discount or commission), or (y) on or after the one hundred and eightieth (180th) day following the occurrence of an Initial Public Offering, such Holders (the “Demanding Holders”) shall have the right, by delivering written notice to the Company (a “Demand Notice”), to require the Company to, pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, register under and in accordance with the provisions of the Securities Act the number of Registrable Securities Beneficially Owned by such Holders and requested by such Demand Notice to be so registered (a “Demand Registration”) provided; however, that it shall be a condition to making a Demand Registration under clause (y) above that the aggregate offering price of the Registrable Securities to be registered by the Demanding Holders is at least $25,000,000. A Demand Notice shall also specify the expected method or methods of disposition of the applicable Registrable Securities. Upon receipt of such Demand Notice, the Company will notify all other Holders (other than the Demanding Holders) in writing and such other Holders shall have the right to request the Company to include all or a portion of such other Holders’ Registrable Securities in such Demand Registration by written notice delivered to the Company within fifteen (15) calendar days after such notice is given by the Company.
(b) Following receipt of a Demand Notice, subject to Section 2(c), Section 4 and, Section 6 and Section 16(h), the Company will use its reasonable best efforts to file, as promptly as reasonably practicable (but not later than ninety (90) calendar days after receipt by the Company of such Demand Notice in the case of a registration made on Form S-1 or comparable successor form, as applicable, or sixty (60) calendar days in the case of any registration eligible to be made on Form S-3 or comparable successor form, as applicable), a Registration Statement relating to the offer and sale of the Registrable Securities requested to be included therein by the Holders thereof in accordance with the methods of distribution elected by such Demand Holders (to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law) and shall use its reasonable best efforts to cause such Registration Statement to be declared effective under the Securities Act as promptly as practicable after the filing thereof (and in any event in accordance with Section 5), provided that if such Demand Notice relates to a Shelf Registration Statement, the provisions of Section 4 shall apply. The Holders shall have the right to request two (2) registrations per year pursuant to this Section 2. Demanding Holders holding at least a majority of the Registrable Securities held by the Demanding Holders shall have the right to notify the Company that they have determined that the Registration Statement and/or Shelf Registration Statement relating to a Demand Registration be abandoned or withdrawn, in which event the Company shall promptly abandon or withdraw such Registration Statement and/or Shelf Registration Statement. In the event any registration attempted under this Section 2 pursuant to which the Company would be responsible for the Registration Expenses of the Holders is not consummated, then the Company shall pay such expenses and shall remain responsible for such expenses of the Holders with respect to two (2) consummated registrations per year made under this Section 2; provided, however, that if a registration attempted under this Section 2 is not consummated solely as a result of the withdrawal of the Holders requesting such registration, unless such Holders reimburse the Registration Expenses incurred by the Company, such Registration Statement shall count against the two (2) Registration Statements that the Company is required to a consummate per year. In any Demand Registration involving an underwritten offering, the investment banker or investment bankers and manager or managers that will administer the offering will be selected by the Demanding Holders, subject to approval of the Company not to be unreasonably withheld.
(c) A Registration Statement filed pursuant to a Demand Notice may include Other Securities; provided, however, that the Company and any other such requesting holders agree in writing to enter into an underwriting agreement with usual and customary terms and to any lock-up or similar limitations applicable to the Holders. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Section 2, if the representative of the underwriters advises the Holders and the Company in writing (a “Cutback Notice”) that it is their good faith opinion that the total number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities proposed to be sold in such offering, together with any Other Securities proposed to be included by holders thereof which are entitled to include securities in such Registration Statement, exceeds the total number or dollar amount of such securities that can be sold without having an adverse effect on the price, timing or distribution of the Registrable Securities to be so included together with all such Other Securities, then there shall be included in such underwritten offering the number or dollar amount of Registrable Securities and such Other Securities that in the opinion of such managing underwriter(s) can be sold without so adversely affecting such offering, and such number of Registrable Securities and Other Securities shall be allocated for inclusion as follows: (i) first, to the Holder(s) requesting inclusion in such registration, pro rata among such Holder(s) on the basis of the number of shares of Registrable Securities for which each such Holder has requested registration, (ii) second, to the Company for any securities it proposes to sell for its own account, and (iii) third, to the other holders requesting inclusion in the registration, pro rata among the respective holders thereof on the basis of the number of shares for which each such requesting holder has requested registration. If a Person who has requested inclusion in such registration as provided above does not agree to the terms of any such underwriting, such Person shall be excluded therefrom by written notice from the Company, the underwriter or the Holder(s). The securities so excluded shall also be withdrawn from registration. A registration shall not be counted as “consummated” for purposes of the two (2) registrations per year requirement if, as a result of a Cutback Notice, fewer than fifty percent (50%) of the total number of Registrable Securities that Holders have requested to be included in such registration statement are actually included.
(d) Except as provided in Section 2(b) with respect to withdrawn Registration statements, all Registration Expenses of the Holders incurred in connection with two (2) registrations per year requested pursuant to this Section 2 shall be borne by the Company.
Expenses of Demand Registration All expenses other than underwriting discounts and commissions incurred in connection with registrations, filings or qualifications pursuant to Section 2.1, including (without limitation) all registration, filing and qualification fees, printers’ and accounting fees, fees and disbursements of counsel for the Company and the reasonable fees and disbursements of one counsel for the selling Holders shall be borne by the Company; provided, however, that the Company shall not be required to pay for any expenses of any registration proceeding begun pursuant to Section 2.1 if the registration request is subsequently withdrawn at the request of the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities to be registered (in which case all participating Holders shall bear such expenses pro rata based upon the number of Registrable Securities that were to be included in the withdrawn registration), unless the Holders of a majority of the Registrable Securities agree to forfeit their right to one demand registration pursuant to Section 2.1; provided further, however, that if at the time of such withdrawal, the Holders have learned of a material adverse change in the condition, business, or prospects of the Company from that known to the Holders at the time of their request and have withdrawn the request with reasonable promptness after learning of such information, then the Holders shall not be required to pay any of such expenses and shall retain their rights pursuant to Section 2.1.
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.
